Today on Facebook, my aunt posted a link to some pictures that someone else uploaded.  All of the pictures showed the aftermath of Irene in Vermont.  The aftermath is devastating.  The pictures are heartbreaking, though I’ll admit I have a soft spot for VT and most of New England.  None of the pictures were from […]

Obviously I haven’t posted in awhile.  About 2 months (I haven’t actually looked at the date of my last post).  In that time, I’ve had a lot going on.  I quit my job, which was making me miserable.  I moved halfway across the country.  I’ve been working part time for my brother while I look […]

When I was in 2nd grade, I was going to play t-ball, but then I got a black eye.  That might not seem like such a big deal, but it was bad enough that they pulled me out of school for a couple of weeks.  I missed t-ball registration, so I never played.  I played […]

Monday, when I went for a walk at lunch, I had someone start talking to me.  I responded, but kept walking.  He asked if I was single, I said no, and he said something about ‘Lucky guy’ when he walked off.  I brushed it off as someone just trying to meet people. Today, I received […]

I started writing this before I realized that I knew who was driving the car on the front page of last Friday’s newspaper. We’ve been under drought conditions, though we weren’t under a burn ban like the southern part of OK.  Thursday after my daughter’s t-ball game, we got rain.  Though the rain was very […]

Every now and then, something happens that brings back a memory, or a series of memories.  Today, I had Nickelodeon on while my 2 year old was playing.  Power Rangers Samurai (or something like that) came on and my son stopped to watch the sword fighting.  It doesn’t seem like that long ago that my […]

Rereading what I wrote last time, I meant that I laughed at the video because I could put myself in the place of the ones at the marriage ceremony that were getting attacked.  I was laughing at myself more than anyone else. I’ve been thinking about my father a lot today.  One of my cousins […]

http://blog.games.yahoo.com/blog/350-from-vow-to-wow-getting-hitched-in-online-games (Opens in a new window) No, this post isn’t going to be about what you’d think at first.  There was actually an article on Yahoo! news about getting married online.  That people are getting married in person, then having their characters in online games get married on the game.  Yahoo! is treating it as […]

Last year, I made a list of goals that I wanted to achieve before I turn 40.  Since I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, I kept everything general.  I seemed to somehow think that if I didn’t put pressure on myself, these goals would take care of themselves.  A year and some later, I don’t […]

I’ve been spending time reading other blogs lately.  There are a number of different blogs I read regularly, from a couple that are weight-loss related and written by friends I’ve met online through the years, to ones that are written by complete strangers.  One of the ones written by a complete stranger is also weight-loss […]
