After discussing my weekend plans with my Saturday boss on Saturday afternoon, he looked at me, incredulously, and said, “You’re driving six hours to Washington DC to go to a baby shower? And then turning around and coming home the same day?” “One of the drawbacks of going to college in Virgina is that you [...]

When the working day is done, girls just wanna have fun
Team Underpants scored an amazing victory over Luck of the Irish in last night’s kickball game. It’s a lot more fun to win these games, and I had a great time last night. Because I’m running a 5K race tomorrow morning with my training-for-a-marathon friend, I tried not to push myself too hard during the [...]

I’m sensitive and I’d like to stay that way
I’m still rotating my six winter sweaters because April won’t just go ahead and act like April. It must have been inspired to misbehave by January’s unseasonal warmth. But that’s not the point of this post. The point is that I’ve been wearing these six sweaters in perpetuity, and each one has a specific tee-shirt [...]

Unsupervised, I hit my head
Last night before going to bed I knocked my head on the sharp edge of one of the steep sloping beams in the ceiling of my bedroom. I heard what could almost be called a beautiful reverberation in my skull and then sharp, painful pain on the spot where I knocked it. Because I was [...]

Perchance to dream

Deep in my consciousness, I knew these kinds of things existed, but only because I have a memory from my childhood of joining my mother to pick up her Tupperware containers. That [...]

TGI…
Do you ever have one of those mornings where you are so snuggly warm in your bed that you thank the heavens that it’s Saturday morning and you have nothing to do? Then, in that selfsame morning, you hear your alarm go off and realize that it’s actually Friday? Then realize you didn’t go to [...]

Isn’t that Swell.
Most of the horrible immediate after effects of my wisdom tooth extraction are gone, and I can now open my mouth wide enough to eat most foods. I can even floss again! (sorry for all of you who had to suffer the halitosistic air which was a direct result of my handicapped hygiene.) I still [...]

mmm… mushy
I bought these groceries today. Keeping in mind that applesauce, yogurt & mashed potatoes aren’t pictured, can you guess the theme?

Not so wise
I hate long posts, so if you don’t want to read this one in its entirety, let me sumise: I got my left side wisdom teeth out on Monday morning, and it turns out that I had freakishly large third molars with an extra special third root. In response to the sudden extraction of bone [...]
