My Friend Amy

I have spent a lot of time the past few days preparing for visitors.  I bought a bed for my guest room…I bought groceries (which is something I RARELY do)…I cleaned…and then last night I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep.
My friend (and cousin) Amy is going to be landing (via airplane) late tonight.  [...]

I Heart Anchorage

A few days (maybe weeks) ago I made a list of things that I really miss about Texas.  Well…in interest of giving Anchorage equal time…I’ve decided to make a list of the things about this really unique place that I really love. 
The people here are so friendly.  And in the most genuine way.
There are mountains.  [...]

Fellow Wildcats…

I think we hit ACU at the wrong time…SERIOUSLY. : )

***Update***
My college roommate blogged about this and recommended reading the comments under this story.  Excellent suggestion…
One of the comments mentioned something that I had been thinking about…is ACU providing the service to these phones?  Or…do the students (or their parents) have to sign a contract [...]

Tap Dancing Elephants

I have never lived on the first floor.  In every apartment that I’ve lived “post-Abilene” I’ve lived on the top floor.  I’ve never particularly cared for the thought of people living above me…although I don’t really know why. 
I live on the first floor of my current apartment complex.  I know that someone lives above me because [...]

Stressing

I have been stressing out a bit this week about something kind of random.  (Would I be me if I didn’t stress about something random?)
I have been worried about the weather.  THE WEATHER.  The snow is melting…and it is making me sad.
You might be thinking…you live in ALASKA…isn’t the snow melting and it’s subsequent sign [...]

Things I Miss…February Edition.

Okay…So here’s the truth.  I really like Alaska.  There are many things that I LOVE about it. : )  But that isn’t what this post is about.  This post is entirely dedicated to the things (some of them a little random) that I miss.

Writer’s Strike…the End is Near

During this period in the history of television that will be known as “the writer’s strike” I’ve taken to watching some pretty…odd television.  For instance…I’ve become addicted to One Tree Hill.  (I can believe I’m admitting that.)  I would have balked at watching such a blatantly ridiculous angst ridden soap opera a few months ago…but [...]

It’s a hillbilly…

This is my first attempt at putting a picture on my blog.  Not sure why I decided to start with this one…but here you go.  : )
