He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

March 1, 2012

Twenty seven years ago today I was at my grandparents’ house expecting a very important phone call.  (Yes, three year old girls get very important phone calls.)  You see, my mother was at the hospital to have a baby and I had been hoping, praying, pleading and campaigning for a sister for months.  My parents [...]

The Ghosts of Halloween Past, Present and Future

October 31, 2011

When I was thinking about what to blog on today, I realized that I had never fully talked about Halloween.  In part, this is because Halloween has fallen on a weekend for the bulk of this blog’s existence.  But mostly I think it’s because no matter how hard I try, Halloween has never been a [...]

95

September 28, 2011

It is my Nana’s 95th birthday today.  It is also almost five years since she left us.  Although I don’t hurt every single day anymore, I still get caught up at least a couple times a month in thoughts of what she’d say or do in a situation.  On mornings like this, I still cry [...]

Uncharted

September 15, 2011

Last night I made myself stay up past midnight to celebrate the first moments of my thirtieth birthday.  I wasn’t sure what to expect.  But when 12:00 led to 12:01 and 12:02 and the earth didn’t shake and swallow me whole, I was pretty convinced that thirty was going to be everything I expected and [...]

Starting The Recap

December 29, 2010

The year of 2010 is coming to an end…and not a moment too soon.  I can’t say this year has been the worst I’ve ever dealt with, but it surely hasn’t been the best.  Nor has it been overly happy.  But that doesn’t mean there weren’t moments of happiness.   And I hope that, in the [...]

Random Thoughts

September 16, 2010

I had a decent birthday.  It really was due to the fact that I got so many well-wishes here and on Facebook.  It sounds silly, but it’s nice to know so many people care. There are so many shows that I know I should be watching, like “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” and others.  I [...]

My Birthday Wishes

September 15, 2010

So today is my birthday.  I’m officially 29 years of age.  How the time has flown!  I never used to think that, but lately, my twenties seemed to have nearly vanished before my eyes.  And although I generally think I did well over these past 29 years in terms of getting what I want, there [...]

Random Thoughts

March 1, 2010

For once, I’m not doing a “Random Thoughts” post on Tuesday.  I figured I’d do it today so that I couldn’t do it tomorrow.  Some sort of weird blog-esque reverse psychology. Today is Brother’s birthday.  He’s now 25 years of age.  My “little” brother is 25.  He can now rent a car at the lower [...]
