My Ultra Random Evening

Tonight after work I dropped by the mall, picked up something at the makeup counter of Nordstrom, and ate some greasy Chinese food in the food court.  (We can talk about how that diet is going…later.)  I then headed home…ran quickly from the car to the house (it’s -12 outside folks) and settled in for [...]

An Important Birthday

I bet you can’t guess whose birthday is today.  (December 25th)
I’ll even give you a hint.
It starts with a J.
Bet you thought I was going to say Jesus.
That too…
But I was thinking about my sister…
Jennifer.
Yes.  She was born on Christmas.
AKA…the best Christmas gift my mom has ever gotten.
(Her words not mine.)
Words can’t describe how much [...]

My Family :)

I don’t really know that my family reads my blog.  In fact, I sent my cousin Amy the link to my blog today and thought to myself…I don’t know that my family reads my blog.
(My other cousin Amy DOES read my blog but she doesn’t exactly count as family for the reasons outlined in this [...]

So I Have a Little Problem

Shhhh…Don’t tell my niece and nephew but some of their gifts from Santa are currently camping out at my apartment.  A hamster and a mouse to be specific.  In cages.  In my house.
Ew.
Let’s just say I wasn’t thrilled to  babysit these two particular gifts.  Last year I got to watch over the Wii.  This year [...]

What a Day

***UPDATE – I combined some birthday/Christmas giftcards and purchased a new digital camera.  Thanks Mom!  Thanks Dad! To be specific…I got the Kodak V1073HD.  It has a touch screen rather than buttons.  That might take some getting used to!  So…Project 52 is BACK ON.***
 
Oh Man
I find myself in need of a new camera.  I’ve actually [...]

Keepin’ Me Humble

About once a week I try to do something really idiotic.  Okay…try might not be the right work.  Usually these things come so naturally that there is very little trying involved.
For instance, a few weeks ago after a fresh snowfall I got stuck in the snow…in my driveway.  Yes…I backed into a snow bank and [...]

I Ramble on the Weekends

I’ve done a lot of thinking today.  Mostly…because I’ve given myself time to think. 
I’ve found myself filling up my days recently.  Packing in duties and activities so that other things that I would rather not think about won’t seem so heavy.  In reality, a majority of the reason that I moved to AK had very [...]

A Funny Christmas Card

Project 52

I have a problem with follow-thru.  For instance…I take pictures with my little trusty pink camera…but the pictures usually always stay…on the camera.  I almost never download them off the camera…and I even more rarely “do” anything with them.  (For example…send them to my mom, post them on my blog or Facebook, print them out [...]
