A Barrel of Nelsons

Okay, I haven’t really been inspired lately, I’ve got half-posts in my head, but not real posts, so I thought I’d give you all an update. And by all I mean the 3 of you that might look here every week or so.
What I’m Driving
So after the smash, crash, and it’s-a-total-here’s-some-cash deal with the un-named [...]

Someone on a forum recently said she bookmarked my blog and couldn’t wait to read it. So I figured that I should probably post or something like that, eh? (Also, welcome any new readers… and old readers, regular readers, infrequent readers, readers who know me in real life, and readers who Googled something and ended [...]

So today is that day. Mother’s Day.
I just sent e-cards to my mom and Sara. Mom got a Maxine-based one since Maxine is her “thing.” And she got a cute cat one from the “Grandkitties.” Sara got a kitchen based one.
I’m going to call my grandma later, because not only is today Mother’s Day, tomorrow [...]

No. Really.
Frustrated and Angry. Frustrated and Sad. Frustrated and Punching Something…
It’s about all sorts of stuff.
My job. Dinner. My weight. My sinuses. The people I work with. The people I deal with who all believe that deadlines don’t apply to them. And then want to whine at me when the newsletter is late.
Work has been [...]

I don’t know V. I’ve never met her. Other than the stuff I’m about to post about and the basic information in the church records, I know very, very little about her.
Her mom is one of the more influential women in the church. Both her parents and her younger brother are talented vocalists, and [...]

I woke up this morning with this post in my head, so I’ll hope if comes out articulately.
You may notice that I haven’t really been talking about adoption lately. I don’t know if I’m avoiding it or numbing it or doing something equally unhealthy… or if I’m simply just letting it be.
That’s not to say [...]

I have a bad tendency to come late to stuff I like. I joined color-guard as a junior in high school. I didn’t start playing DND or other role-playing games until college. I didn’t really drink coffee until I was dating Jeff.
I’ll admit that I got stuck partway through Fellowship of the Ring the first [...]

My birthday weekend wasn’t bad. Jeff cooked which is always delicious. We went to Feast of the Hunter’s Moon here in the Lafayette/Tippecanoe County Area. Then we drove up to Michigan to Jeff’s Aunt Martha’s resort/retreat.
This morning at work was insane. We got a memorial bequest (of the large monetary variety) so the deposit was [...]

Though I’m pretty sure it will take a turn or seven at some point.
I have really deep-set eyes. It’s kinda part of having high cheekbones, which I love to death, but it also means that I get and have dark circles a lot and because I’m so pale, they really stand out. Of course, I’m [...]

Sometimes I don’t know if it’s good or bad how close my birthday and The Sweetling’s are. I know that Sara has talked about how she didn’t want to deliver on her birthday (and she’s past that now) because she wanted a day and a time that was just HER. I can absolutely see that [...]
