I don’t really have much to say these days. Things are kind of blah around our house, as Brett still doesn’t have a job. He’s had some interviews lately but nothing has panned out. Every rejection feels like another twist of the knife in our hearts. Neither of us understands why this is so hard. [...]
I know I’ve mentioned before how much I love Lord of the Rings. But seriously, people. I don’t think I’ve emphasized it enough. I love this story. We just finished watching the movies again about five minutes ago. (Brett’s now watching American Chopper, which is just too crass and petty to watch after watching such [...]
With the chaos of last Friday, I didn’t get a chance to post my last two posts in the favorites category. (I also need to post about my weekend last weekend, and about how it got a TON better after I posted, but maybe in a little while.) So, here we go. My favorite sound [...]
Brett was fired from his job today. The exact words weren’t the now archetypal “You’re fired,” but instead, the extremely unprofessional and abusive, “Get the fuck out of my office and don’t come back.” My heart is breaking for him. He wants to work and to help support us and to provide for me so [...]
I just got home from a very long day…I will give you my favorite sound tomorrow!
Ok, I mean this in a (mostly) innocent way, if you get my drift. But my absolutely favorite touch is snuggling with my husband, Brett. Before we were dating (back in the days before I had a boyfriend) (yes, Brett is the first — and only — guy I’ve ever been with) … anyway, before [...]
I have many, many favorite tastes, for I like food — a lot. Indian food, Thai food, Italian food, anything potato-related…mmm. Count. Me. In. Food? Is gooood. But I have to say that I think my favorite taste in the world is a genuine French pain au chocolat. In France, these tasty, buttery, slightly salty [...]
My favorite smell is definitely lilacs. I never thought much of lilacs before my 18th birthday. That year, however, my now-husband Brett gave me my first birthday present from him: a bouquet of lilacs from his mom’s lilac bush, the bush that still grows right outside his childhood bedroom window. No guy had never given [...]
I was able to spend a few wonderful hours with my good friend Bree on Saturday. While we were hanging out (which was always fun, especially when guacamole, sock monkeys, and Yahtzee Turbo are involved), she happened to mention that she was going to be taking this week to talk about her favorite things on [...]
Dear Upstairs Neighbors (incarnation number three since we moved in the first of June, counting the grumpy old people and the really really loud people with three kids), I’m sick. And your techno-Gordito’s-music (translation: [disclaimer: in no way do I mean this to be racist] loud, bass-driven Latin-style music, seemingly with a techno twist) is [...]
