It is right down the street from my current one, which is good because I love my neighborhood, it is three bedrooms (one for us, one for his kids to share, one for my closet..let’s be real here), has a yard, and the rent is way, way reasonable.
I’ve already emailed them.
What I am saying is…I…

A moment in time...
It was almost 10 years ago when life as we all knew it, took a turn. 10 years. How has it already been that long? They say you’ll never forget where you were when that September 11th morning went terribly wrong. It’s true… I was in San Diego getting ready to go to my morning classes. I remember feeling so sad and so scared of what was going to happen next. In the last 10 years, I...

The assholes on the internet bitching about the Royal Wedding coverage in the wake of so much devastating news lately, and how it is not a real news story and “why does anyone care” and blah de blah blah blah.

Ok so....
Let me start this off by saying… I LOVE MY JOB. Anyone that knows me knows that to be a fact. HOW.EV.ER… I work one day a week. Mondays. That’s it. Sometimes there’s an occasional Thursday or Friday thrown in the mix but it’s rare. That being said… I have worked all but 2 days in the last 10 days. This wouldn’t typically be a problem, EXCEPT… we...

Flat tires at 1am when I’m driving home from work all alone are so fucking far from awesome. Ugh. Thank God for the police officer who waited with me until help came. Finally home safe and sound.
Oy
I’m now 16 weeks pregnant and by the look of things… I appear as though I’m 24. This is awesome right now but my concern comes when I visualize what i might look like when I’m 30 weeks. File under: fucking terrifying.

My dad has developed something in the last day where he can’t remember words for things. He is acting right now like a stroke victim who has to search for what he is trying to say, though he seems aware of everything around him.
Today, my mom went in and asked him “do you know who I am?” “Yes,” he told his wife of almost 41 years. “Who am I?” she prodded.
“You are my sweet baby,”...

Dan: I'm drunk right now.
Me: WHAT??!?!?!??! You drink?!?!?
Him: Yeah, that happens when I actually go on a date.
Me: YOU WENT ON A DATE?!?!?!??!!
Him: Yes.
Me: So, you went on a date... and got drunk????
Him: Yes.
Me: Whoa.
Him: Yeah, I told the girl that I'm SUPER busy so I really can't date her. She's great and totally agreed.
Me: So let me get this straight... you went on a DATE to tell the girl you can't DATE her and she agreed?
Him: Yes.
Me: Hmm...
Him: And I plan on telling her that again tomorrow night... on our next date.
Deep thoughts at 1am...
* My kitten has definite moods. When he’s happy, there is lots of meowing. When he’s annoyed, he grinds his teeth. When he’s mad, he bites my feet. And people blame all the mood swings on women?

The opposition to the overruling offends me worse than just about anything I’ve ever seen or heard. How angry and violent people will get…how out of their way they are willing to go to strip another human being of their rights. With the celebration of the gay couples I know who are so unbelievably happy that their love will now be fully recognized by the law-in the joy and beauty of that-it’s...
Maybe you had to be there...
Me (Sitting next to shannon on my couch when she leans over and opens the front door): What are you doing?

Shan: Earth

True story Tuesday
My best friend and I have this fun little game called “I’ll give you a dollar”. You’ve all played it. It’s where you dare someone to do something with an imaginary dollar…a dare which they never do anyway. Well we decided years ago, to “make” a dollar (i.e. we took a dollar bill and defaced it with markers) and we pass it back and forth after the one...
Monday's Random Fact
I love you too.
mandigray:
I can’t help but feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t have a best friend who understands them, despite all their differences. Who laughs at the stupid stuff with them, and whose heart breaks along with them at the important ones. Who shares their history, their stories, their memories. Who believes in them and trusts them with their life.
I don’t know where I would...

Here are my favorite quotes from the White House Correspondents Dinner:
“…though I am glad that the only person whose ratings fell more than mine last year is here tonight - great to see you, Jay (Leno). I’m also glad that I’m speaking first, because we’ve all seen what happens when somebody takes the time slot after Leno’s.”

Wow... weird →
I’m actually shocked that some of the things on this list are vegan. Let’s just not confuse this to mean that these things are actually good for you! ha.
The "Vegan" thing...
I just re-read a post I wrote about a month ago that stated that I am not willing and don’t want to be a hardcore Vegan. Let’s just go ahead and file that under: I’m a moron.
I, like most, thought being vegan was weird. I thought it was something I could never do, and as I mentioned, never wanted to do.
Allow me to be clear this time. I am 100% vegan (a decision I made...

Weight
I have come to realize something….
When someone hasn’t seen me for awhile (even just a couple weeks), the first thing they say almost every single time is “OMG you lost so much weight!!! You’re TOO skinny!” Ok. No. Not possible. If I kept losing weight like everyone seems to think, I’d weigh 13 lbs by now. It’s just silly. And by the way, I’ve...
Ok so I realize...
That I’ve been a horrible blogger and it’s for a few reasons. The first being that I really just didn’t feel like anything I had to say was that interesting. Second, I was unclear with myself and with my relationship just how detailed I should be about my life. And third, well, to be completely honest… I was lazy.
But I’m making a few life changes. Obviously my...
