Mom’s Awesome … We Should Call Her.

Forty-four years ago today, two lovely but crazy Italian-Americans brought their daughter into this world.  Their daughter grew up to be the wife of an Army man, a bookkeeper, someone who worked at a mortgage company, someone who works at an insurance company, a cancer survivor, a professional crazy person wrangler, and, most importantly, my mama.

Bored

After tomorrow, I am officially hiding my debit card and not touching it until I can put money in my bank account.  I know I’m not actually spending that much, but not working always makes me feel like my card is about to be rejected.  Oh, well … I start work Tuesday afternoon, and after [...]

Well, Hi.

First of all, it is important to note that I am updating this from the comfort of my school’s computer lab.  There’s really nothing like walking across campus to check e-mail.  Oh, well.  It’s extra exercise, and sometimes I get a glimpse of people who are still in town this summer … like the people [...]

Salut!

There’s nothing going on right now.  I can see why l’École de Langue Française keeps us occupied all the time … or rather, I can see how being occupied all the time has affected me.  Instead of participating in my last round of activities (which on Wednesdays is usually taking a walk [...]

Just a Little Bit Longer

Raise your hand if you can believe it’s been three weeks already.
I have surpassed the halfway point, and even though Sunday is officially three weeks, I cannot believe time has passed this quickly. There are so many wonderful people here, and I am learning a lot of new and practical vocabulary (haha). I [...]
