Fun Fact THURSDAY.

I completely missed Tuesday this week.  That’s embarrassing.  On that note, three more fun facts you may or may not have known about yours truly:
1.  Lately (as in since I started working), remembering what day of the week it is has been an insane challenge.  I can tell you the date without so much as [...]

Allie and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

First of all, I am probably just being overdramatic.  Maybe today wasn’t the worst day, but it was a far cry from the best day of my life.
I got to work in time for our staff meeting, the one that had to reconvene this morning.  Part Two of the Neverending Staff Meeting went for almost [...]

I May Be Turning Into My Father.

Here’s why:
1.  I got up at seven on Saturday … without an alarm.  This is typical Daddy behavior.  He wakes up early and watches HGTV.  I didn’t even turn on my TV yesterday, but if I would have, I can assure you the only thing on TV would have been HGTV or terrifying infomercials about [...]

I Hope This Doesn’t Reflect Badly on My Character

I bought a dining table and chairs today.  This exciting for many reasons, most of which involve me having a place to eat that isn’t the floor or my couch.
I realize that buying a table and chairs is not a big feat.  It’s not a milestone in my life by any means.  It’s just something [...]

Fun Fact Tuesday, Week Five

Because you care.
1.  Grammar-related pet peeves aside, one of my biggest pet peeves is when people have insanely detailed or overly personal Facebook or MySpace statuses.  I honestly don’t care if you’re holed up in the library, studying your life away for your gender studies final, hating college, and unable to wait for this weekend [...]

The Good with the Bad

Sometimes you get an unforeseen amount of snow in a weekend and do nothing besides run to Wal-Mart for beans to make white chili, make the previously mentioned white chili, and watch Golden Girls on Hallmark for a few hours.  You go to bed at a reasonable hour and keep your little fingers crossed that [...]

So Much for Spring

One of my best friends and her husband came to Jackson last night to celebrate his birthday.  It was great seeing them again — How is it that I’ve managed to make and retain close friendships with people who don’t live in Jackson?  Why can’t I have a best friend who lives, like, down the [...]
