Heartbreaking to Look At

Oh readers, again I’ve had good intentions, and again I haven’t followed through. I have a half finished meme in my drafts that someone was kind enough to tag me for, but I just haven’t gotten to finishing it yet.
Unfortunately, I’m not coming here today to be up beat. I’m coming because I’m dealing with [...]

Conversations with JB

When I was a sophomore in HS, back in 1999, I started dating my second boyfriend. That was a rollercoaster ride in it’s own right. I’m feeling acronym-y today so we’ll call him TBWBMHT, The Boy Who Broke My Heart, Twice. He’s not terribly important to this story other than contextualizing stuff.
JB of the title, [...]

So hopefully I’m not jinxing anything, but despite the date’s infamy, today is shaping up to be rather good.
We’re dropping off the deposit and signing a lease on the townhome (pictures to follow soon). Ten days from now we’ll actually get the keys, and start moving stuff.
I had my phone interview for the job I’ve [...]

Resisting the Urge to “Squee!”

We’re driving down to Bloomington to see Sara and Sam and Sara’s huge spider bite and Sara’s newly appearing baby bump today (as well as assorted cuddly furry creatures that live with them). There’s a big part of me that wants to go “Squee!” because it’s Sara and I love her and sometimes being so [...]

Where We Might Go After We’ve Been Here

As I so often put it, I’m from Small-City Indiana. Up until I headed off to college, our biggest move was across town. There was a high likelihood that most of the people I met knew my parents or grandparents or knew someone who knew them.
Contrast that to Jeff who has moved more times than [...]

Yesterday and a Few Days in the Future

My mom came up to Lafayette yesterday. When my sister moved she decided that she didn’t like the comforter that she had. Jeff had an old one from when we were still attending Purdue and sleeping in twin beds. And it was black, which is my sister’s favorite-est color ever. So we offered her that [...]

I went to a baby shower Saturday. The second that I ever recall attending, the first since The Sweetling’s birth. My cousin Elizabeth is due to deliver her first child June 17th.
It wasn’t as hard to be there as I worried it might be. Of course I found a way to keep busy, by constantly [...]

Errr… looks like I owe some posts here. Oops.
Let me take you back about a week and a half, so I can bring you up to speed on … well all sorts of stuff.
Permitted.
I got my driving learner’s permit renewed again. It only took over an hour and three computer glitches. Every time, they sent [...]

Are We Really That Different?

Let me tell you about my friend Joe… Joe is Irish-Italian-Polish-American, which makes him rather loud and opinionated. Or maybe he’s just loud and opinionated normally and it gives him lots of excuses. He’s lived in Texas and Chicago and I still don’t understand how he ended up in Columbus. He’s Republican and Catholic. He [...]
