The Return of the Unsent Letter

The most passive-aggressive form of communication makes a valiant return to my blog.  Ready?  Go.
Dear Unnamed Male Friend,
I don’t know if you know this, but I really think Facebook chat is the creepiest thing ever to happen to social networking.  If I wanted the world to know how much time I spend on Facebook (Um, [...]

I Remembered Today Is Tuesday.

Considering we’re coming off a long weekend, I think remembering that today is, in fact, Tuesday is quite a feat.  Here are your fun facts:
1.  I love bodies of water.  I think that accounts for my fascination with Memphis, Louisville, etc.  If there’s a river running through it, an ocean nearby, or a lake in [...]

Okay, Seriously?

I don’t watch  American Idol.  I watched the whole second season — the Clay/Ruben season — because it was still kind of new and different.  Also, I’m pretty sure that was, what, 2002?  I was sixteen.  Watching American Idol was cool.  Now, I don’t watch that much TV, period, and when I do, it’s probably [...]

Oh, We’re Halfway There …

A little Bon Jovi, anyone?  Let’s celebrate drunken karaoke style.  For the next twenty-four minutes, it’s my half birthday.  I am officially halfway to twenty-three, and I can’t wait!
I’m not usually one to celebrate ridiculous things like half birthdays, but so far, twenty-two has provided very few reasons to celebrate.  Crappy things have happened this [...]

Fun Fact Tuesday … with a Twist!

Instead of three facts about yours truly, I’m giving y’all three new bands I have discovered in the past week.
1.  Lauderdale:  Like Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, they’re from Northern Alabama, which just so happens to be my favorite part of the state.  (I had no idea Muscle Shoals was such a hot bed [...]

Lunch Time

I try to avoid eating out at lunch.  The majority of the restaurants in Jackson are grouped together, and trying to get anywhere near that area of town from eleven to one on a weekday is insane.  However, I woke up this morning and realized I had two more free sandwich coupons for Chik-fil-A (the [...]

Good Things

Lately, my mind has been consumed with a lot of what ifs with one main what if:  What if I have to move?  Considering how limited my options are in Jackson, it’s looking more and more like that what if will turn into “Oh, God, I have to move.”  It’s hard enough to think about [...]

It’s Back!

Fun Fact Tuesday:
1.  I watched the latest season of America’s Next Top Model this weekend.  I’m pretty mad at myself for getting sucked into it, but I’m even more mad that I now feel I have some sort of personal stake in this season.  I need to know who wins!  I may actually break my [...]

You Never Planned on the Bombs in the Sand

All right, it’s time to come clean.  I am a firm believer in honesty, and even though this is my blog and subsequently the story of my life, I don’t think it’s fair to edit my story to make it pretty.  Life isn’t pretty, life isn’t simple; life is complicated and messy, and what comes [...]

Three Hundred and One.

I must be some sort of visionary.  I knew the next three hundred posts wouldn’t be without bad things happening — That’s what I told y’all! — but I wasn’t expecting bad things to happen so … quickly.
Sometimes life sucks, gets better, and continues on its merry little way.  Then there are days like yesterday [...]
