It’s Tuesday. You Know What That Means …

More fun facts … with a theme:  my name!
1.  Allie is short for Allison.  When I was younger, I always hated the name Allison because it was so popular at my high school, and the majority of them were blonde and kind of stupid.  I didn’t want to be associated with that.
2.  I did, however, [...]

And We’re Back.

Fun Fact Tuesday returns to Tuesday!
1.  I’m not a hypochondriac or prone to self-diagnosing diseases, but I often have ridiculous thoughts about my health.  I have a super healthy immune system and rarely (knock on wood) get noticeably, inconveniently sick.  However, two or more consecutive days of headaches?  Weird cramps?  The worst-case scenario sneaks into [...]

The Longest Short Week Ever

Remember on Monday when I was all, “It’s a four day week” and “Things could be worse”?
Things got worse.  I’m sure you ascertained that by me mentioning the crap hit the fan.  The rest of the week has been about dealing with the repercussions of crap hitting the fan in really, seriously, terribly monumental way, [...]

Clearly, Remembering Fun Fact Tuesday Is NOT My Strong Point.

However, dear readers, I have a valid reason for skipping Tuesday.  Some serious crap hit the fan yesterday, and I was feeling a little emo and Pity Party:  Party of Allie, so I decided to spare y’all fun facts that belong on a thirteen-year-old’s MySpace.  You will be happy to know that after aforementioned crap [...]

Back Home

I’m not even going to think about how many hours I spent in the car over my vacation.  The number probably rivals some of my better weekends on the road, which makes me think of work, which is NOT how I plan on spending the last four hours of my time off.  I’m really not [...]

Or Chicago … Well, I Just Don’t Know.

Of all the obscure song lyrics about Chicago, this is the one that kept getting stuck in my head prior to driving up to visit my sister on Friday.  I feel like Will Hoge knows my life and has at least one line to which I can relate at all times.  (This one is from [...]

This Is Just Practice for Travel Season.

I’m in Indiana!  This may be the only time you see the Indiana followed by an exclamation point because … well, it’s Indiana.  It’s a sweet, wholesome place with lots of cornfields and one major city in the whole state, but there is very little about Indiana that could be considered exciting or simply deserving [...]

Uh-Oh.

A few of us are hanging out in our administrative assistants’ office this afternoon.  Christina is talking about how her good friends are having a baby and are worried about not having any friends after their baby is born.  One of our administrative assistants has gone home sick, so it’s just Ashley left.  Ashley is [...]

Because It’s Still Tuesday Where I Live

1.  I just got back from spending time with a good friend/sorority sister.  Spending time with her entailed going to open mic night at one of the bars downtown.  Consequently, I smell like an ashtray and am all sneezy.  The bonds of sisterhood make you do weird things for your sisters … and all because [...]

Monday, Monday.

I’m not really a Monday kind of girl, but today wasn’t so bad.  Any day I get to spend thirty minutes gloating about my upcoming five day weekend (I think at five days, a weekend ceases to be a weekend.) and generally being social is a good day.  In my defense, though, Monday mornings are [...]
