not the best daughter award

In: Family

I’m pretty much the best daughter on Earth, because I never send any cards to my parents ever, and if I do, they’re never on time. It was absolutely no surprise to me when I noticed on my calendar that Mother’s Day was less than a week away. I, sadly, am not doing anything for [...]

reason for a change

In: Family, Internets

My grandma, bless her lovely soul, is a worrier - a really big worrier. And because of this, I don’t tell her things that she’ll worry about - more specifically right now, I didn’t tell her about my whole without a job thing. The times I’ve had a car accident, there are details that aren’t [...]

happy valentine’s day!

In: Family, Photos

Here’s the thing. As a chronic never-have-a-Valentine type of person, I don’t really go out of my way of celebrating Valentine’s Day. It’s not because I hate it and want to cut my wrists every 14th of February, just so I can feel. It’s because of the following:

fishing for lunch in 1988

I scanned over 100 pictures from various photo albums when I was home over my extended Thanksgiving break and the only thing that I’ve actually done with them is look at them just about every day. While I’m very excited to have copies of a lot of my favorite pictures, I also wouldn’t feel right [...]

my new friend tommy

In: Family

For the first time in my life and quite possibly the last, I braved the post-Thanksgiving, Early Bird, Gotcha Sucker sales. It all started yesterday, during Thanksgiving lunch, when I realized that K-Mart was open on Turkey Day AND had a super deal on a GPS. After stuffing my face, everyone in the house under [...]

good thing they were cheap

In: Family

Today’s the busiest day I’ve had since I was fired my position was eliminated.
I woke up to a missing dog, because he’s found new best friends in his cousin-dogs. The amazing thing is that I woke up before, you know, lunch time, which is what I’ve grown accustomed to doing for the past month. The [...]

how i learned to fish

In: Family, Me

I’m very excited for this weekend. The Crew (and I) are going camping at a place called Brunet Island State Park. I am very excited, but overly excited for one thing in particular - FISHING. Because I wasn’t a blogging nerd from the time I was a wee toddler until about the age of 20, [...]

a nerdy tattoo story

In: Family

When I was in 2nd grade, my maternal grandpa died. I remember a lot of things about him. He lived next door to me and he was a truck driver for Clearfield Cheese, which is now (or maybe always has been) owned by Schreiber Foods. We used to fish all the time and I’m sure [...]

i might like your ideas better

In: Family, Me

Some of you readers from way back will remember this, but for those new to these parts, one of my grandmas passed away in May of 2003. She was absolutely, positively one of my most favorite people in the whole world. In short, we had an incredible relationship and there’s rarely a day that goes [...]
