fresh start
August 01, 2005
"A new place, a new name, a new blogging sytem. But really… is anything REALLY going to change? Probably not :P It will still be me rambling on about my boring life, and you crazy people coming to read about it. More posts like this: why I do what I do February 4, 2008 show yourselves! January [...]"
damage control
"So a few weeks ago (about a week before my sister’s wedding) I got my hair cut. I told the girl I wanted my layers to be more gradual and less dramatic. I basically felt like I had 2 levels of hair, 1 was just about 2 inches shorter than the other. I still wanted [...]"
slow but no mushroom head
"After having a pretty bad haircut a few weeks ago, tonight I had a good one- I think I actually like the result! It’s a little shorter than I had in mind, but I’m not a mushroom-head, so I won’t complain about that. The thing about this cut though… it was The Slowest Haircut Ever. [...]"
cool me off baby
August 02, 2005
"Our air conditioner decided to stop working about 3 weeks ago. Since then, it has come on intermittently, getting us all excited- only to shut off and not come back on again for a while. Last week, we finally decided it was time to get a new one. It’s 16 years old, by far [...]"
stories mothers tell
"I think everyone’s mother tells stories like this. Maybe not quite so often, or quite so hilarious… But I think it’s a Mom thing, really. heehee My mom has totally done the thing where she starts telling a story and I tell her yeah, I’ve heard this one before, but she still keeps telling it. I [...]"
I think the heat is melting my brain
"You know what I just realized? Whenever I come to something on the web where I have to type in a random word, any word at all… I almost always pick the word ‘blue’. I wonder why that is. More posts like this: the cure for a NaBloPoMo hangover December 1, 2008 she totally ruined my plan December 4, [...]"
details for details’ sake
August 03, 2005
"This morning it literally, and I am so not exaggerating like I sometimes do, it took me a full 30 seconds to remember what day it was. I just COULD NOT think of it! I thought it was Tuesday for some reason, and I didn’t realize for what seemed an eternity that it was, in [...]"
all together now: ‘aaaaaaaahh….’
"How do you spell ‘relief’? Contrary to the commercial from way back when, it is not ‘R-O-L-A-I-D-S’. It’s ‘A-I-R-C-O-N-D-I-T-I-O-N-I-N-G’. After literally sweating it out for over a week, especially the last few days when it was over 90 degrees, it is now a cool and comfy 78 degrees in the house… and dropping by the hour, [...]"
my new haircut.
"So yeah. Me, this morning. More posts like this: new haircut (again) June 10, 2006 hello ma’am. March 17, 2006 countdown to Sunday February 2, 2006 baby belly at 20 weeks November 21, 2006 Italy: Day 2 May 25, 2006 "
not a chance in hell
August 04, 2005
"In 1955, this is what women were expected to do: You have GOT to be kidding me. Seriously. I am definitely NOT a feminist by any stretch of the imagination, but this is ridiculous. ‘You have no right to question him’? ‘His topics of conversation are more important than yours’? Good grief. To have been a [...]"
halfway around the world, and who do you see?
"My sister and her husband just got back from their honeymoon in Hawaii on Saturday.. I am so freaking jealous of them. :P But anyway, she was telling me about how they were hiking and there was this younger couple there with them, and they started chatting and my sister mentioned how she felt [...]"
I’m not as poorly traveled as I thought
August 05, 2005
"I found this map thing at Poppy Cedes.. via Self-Portrait Day (more on that in a minute!) It’s the states I’ve visited. Of course, most of the ‘middle’ ones were just ones we drove through on our way to Colorado when I was in high school (church youth group trip) But they still [...]"

"Bullets! Tons and tons of bullets! More posts like this: css mania April 25, 2006 are we there yet? November 15, 2007 see yinz guys later October 11, 2005 Christmas December 26, 2005 suckage December 10, 2006 "
it felt like it was ripping my FACE OFF.
"Last night I did one of those Biore Pore Strip things for the first time. I just have two things to say: Ouch. And.. eeeeeeeewwwwwww. More posts like this: it seems all I have to talk about is this fetus in my belly August 31, 2006 my thankful list November 27, 2008 the last few days December 17, 2007 the road [...]"
nothing, really.
"I’m testing how this password stuff works in WordPress. I don’t really have anything particularly secret to say… other than I am SO MUTHER-EFFING BORED at work today. I did like 2 things all day that took 5 minutes, and now I’m sitting here waiting for it to be 5:00. You would think that having [...]"

our weekend visitor
August 06, 2005
" Today this little guy and a few of his brothers/sisters were visiting our yard. In fact, they have an entire nest underneath our deck! How freaking cute is he?!? I wanted to pick him up so badly, but I didn’t want to get my scent on him and have his momma decide not to take [...]"
and he didn’t even complain

what a cutie
August 07, 2005
" And this is why it’s hard to hate him when he’s bad. He’s just SO DARN CUTE. Even when he’s getting cat hair all over our clean laundry.

I did a ‘touchdown’ sign with my hands when the first order went through okay.
August 08, 2005
"I have been working on an e-commerce site since May, learning more about OSCommerce and how it works. It’s a very powerful, free, yet sometimes frustrating shopping cart solution because it is open-source so finding answers to questions is nearly impossible. Then, figuring out how the shopping cart would integrate with the client’s payment gateway [...]"
bachelorette days again
August 09, 2005
"Next week, Dan is going on vacation WITHOUT ME. His parents, his grandma, and his aunt/uncle/cousins are all going to Deep Creek to the same place we went 2 years ago. I was supposed to go along this time, at least for end of the week (I had used most of my vacation days at [...]"

feel free to click the ‘x’ if you start falling asleep
August 10, 2005
"Everytime I open this up to post, I feel all kinds of pressure to come up with something.. profound. Either hilarious or introspective or observant or fun. But the truth is- my life is pretty freaking boring most days. So what do I write about? So we’re working on painting our deck this week. Wait, that’s [...]"
if I could, I’d grunt like the Tool Time guy
"We decided that now would be a FANTASTIC time to repaint our deck. I mean, I only have 10 website projects going on right now, and Dan is working on another (big) one with me, and he’s going on vacation on Sunday, and he is finishing up his Masters thesis.. so it seemed like [...]"
