Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.

Is anyone else impressed that I remembered?  I am.
1.  I’m officially unemployed.  I’m no longer laid off but still working.  I don’t know how people stand to be at home all day.  As ridiculous as my former employer was (and continues to be), I loved being at work and being with my coworkers and having [...]

Best Text Ever? Maybe.

My little sister in my sorority, Ashley, is doing an internship in Washington, DC this summer.  She and I text and call each other frequently to share stories and weird things that have happened to us.  A couple of hours ago, I received this text message from my wonderful little, who, like her big, has [...]

As Promised, Something for Mama

I promised on Father’s Day that I’d write a little something for my mama, so let’s talk about my mama.
As much as I am like my daddy, who is a wonderful, hilarious, supportive father, I’m also a lot like my mama.  Her family is all Italian-American, and, like so many of our relatives, she is [...]

It’s That Time Again.

1.  I may or may not have a big decision to make soon.  The reason I say “may or may not” is because there may not be a decision to make; it may just be something that happens.  I’ve been stressing out about it for a few days, and even though nothing has happened yet, [...]

Daddy’s Little Girl

First off, I completely forgot to write something for my mama on Mother’s Day, but never fear:  It’ll be done this week.  I’ve got plenty of time and ideas to give my wonderful mama a big ol’ blog shout out.
Moving on, I’m sure y’all are aware that today is Father’s Day.  I’m sure y’all are [...]

Better Late Than Never!

Happy Fun Fact Saturday!  I didn’t actually forget that it was Tuesday this week, but this week has been insane, and I haven’t actually been in my apartment for more than ten hours (total) since Tuesday afternoon.  Because this week’s set is so late, I’m gonna go ahead and give you two extra fun facts.  [...]

Good Things: A List

Everything was going so wonderfully, and then the inevitable happened:  Something bad happened, and I was once again thrown into some unpretty crying and being angry.  It’s amazing how big of a hit your self-esteem can take in a few minutes.  The important thing to remember through all of the ugly business that happened is [...]

I Remembered!

Fun Fact Tuesday is here, and so are your three fun facts about yours truly:
1.  I’m always, always cold.  Even though it’s eighty-something degrees and mega humid in Jackson, I had to turn off my air conditioning because seventy-five degrees inside was just too cold.  In my defense, I had just been air conditioned to [...]

Help Wanted/Needed

Hypothetically speaking, let’s say you’re unemployed.  Let’s say you have quite a few interviews coming up in the next two weeks — all strong prospects — with a few more in the tube.  Let’s say you’re offered an interview somewhere, and they’re kinda flaky about the whole thing, and you don’t feel right about it.  [...]

Ben Harper Is a Genius.

I think this is an absolutely beautiful and perfect philosophy on life:
“You can’t just say ‘I love you;’
You have to live ‘I love you.’”
- Ben Harper, “Heart of Matters”
Just a little food for thought :).
