An Update…Random Edition

My mind has been a mess today…nothing involving enough thought to devote an entire post to, for sure.  But…thoughts none the less.
So…here you go…
*I read online today that we are on the verge of a waffle shortage.  Since I haven’t purchased a box of frozen waffles in years…I doubt this will affect me too much. 
*The [...]

Status Quo

I feel like I’ve reached a time in my existence here where things are…shall we say…normal.
Meaning…I finally see what my life is going to be like in Dallas…and it’s good.
The first two months here were so much about surviving and keeping myself together that little time was spent simply “being”.
That seems to finally be changing.
I [...]

As the world turns…and turns…

After writing my last post…things in my life got even more bizarre.  I won’t bore you with the details…but the important part of the story is that I’m fine. Bruised, sore, and exhausted emotionally and physically…but fine.
And, subsequently, a friend that can still love you after you total her car is someone to cherish.  But [...]

Things I Don’t Like

Sometimes when I’m having blog related writer’s block…I make a simple list of things I’m loving at the moment and post it.  Sometimes I make a list of people…sometimes it’s a list of beauty products…sometimes even a list of restaurants.
I’m not in that kind of mood today.  I’m someone annoyed.  And pensive.  And sneezy.  But [...]

Oh Sweet Goodness

My brother-in-law casually mentioned to me last night that Mt. Redoubt is about to erupt.  Let’s just say that I don’t take everything he says super seriously.  But I decided to do a little research on this one for myself. 
And I found this.
And this.
And even this.
Oh my word.
Let’s just say that the Alaskan welcoming committee [...]

In Case You Were Wondering

My week went from bad to worse this morning.    BUT…I’m still trudging along!

Virtual Model

I’ve been shopping on-line today looking for a new bathing suit.  I found one I really liked at Lands End…but it was a lot more than I wanted to spend.  I kept looking anyway.
And then I noticed that you could try the suits on a “virtual model”. 
So I did.
You put your weight, height, and body [...]

Square Peg Round Hole

Sit back and relax.  I’m going to tell you a little story about a girl.
This girl, we will call her Davita (because that is her name), was house/dog sitting for a friend from work.  Davita loves dogs.  So she was excited to house sit.  She was supposed to start the dog sitting adventure on Monday.
She [...]

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 [...]
