I don’t want to be overly dramatic here or anything, but the end is nigh. We are pretty much on borrowed time, running down the clock until the planet just… I don’t know… explodes or something. I’m feeling very alarmist this morning, in case you didn’t pick up on my subtle hints. It’s probably because …
Does anyone remember the movie Bio-dome? Staring ninety’s film legends Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin? My cousin and I must have watched that movie a dozen times when it first came out. For those of you that haven’t seen it, I will save you an hour an hour and a half of your life, and …
There it was, the unexpected name in an unexpected place. I had picked up an old notepad from the top of a pile of similarly old notepads. The name was written in my handwriting, but it wasn’t my name. It belonged to an ex. The emotions came seemingly out of nowhere as I stood there …
The tires made thumping sounds as they rode over the reflectors on the street. The noise was constant and soothing. I sat up from my slumped position in the back seat and stretched out my neck. It was dark out and I had no idea how long I had been sleeping. Mommy and daddy were …

I am going to start by apologizing. I am sorry that I am even complaining about this because I know that in the grand scheme of things, there are people that don’t even have the luxury of stressing about this. Last week my husband had his annual benefits meeting. In it they reviewed the upcoming …
It’s very hard to type this with my fists clenched in rage, but I will give it my best. I am trying to do something simple to update the look of my blog, and I am ready to put my fist through the computer screen. Was there some recent massive change to technology that I …
Well friends, I am in danger of not meeting my expectation that I set out only five short posts ago. I blame my husband (because, why wouldn’t I?) and assume absolutely no fault of my own. I am so close to not making a post this week. Seriously though, it’s been a crazy two weeks. …
