I have been in a bit of a funk the past two weeks (wherein “bit” and “funk” are complete understatements and really I should say “I have been contemplating the meaning of life and the space-time continuum with accompanying suicidal notions”), and I apologize for not blogging. I *USED* to be really loyal with this [...]
Man, you ship me off to the States and I just disappear from the blogville for awhile, it appears. For some reason it seems like there’s a lot less time in the days over here and blogging kind of falls off the list of priorities.
So, we’re heading back to Germany on Friday. “Friday?” you ask. [...]
My posts are really sucking lately, and I totally blame NaBloPoMo. It’s all about quantity with those people, not quality.
But I’m pretty sure I’m going to ruin NaBloPoMo this weekend when we go to Poland (not planning on taking my laptop just to update on a Saturday. I know, I suck at dedication.) So, [...]
So over here I talked about the lovely little morning jaunt in the woods today as I decided to use my own two feet for my commute in.
Let’s set the record straight, shall we?
Ever since that damn organ decided it needed to be out of my body (and how), my, um, bowels have not quite [...]
I hate the season of Fall.
Maybe “hate” is too strong of a word - after all, it’s not winter. But I just find it extremely depressing. The leaves dying, the cold air, the shortened days. I want to stretch out every last possible drop of summer. And the advent of fall only means that big, [...]
My sister just e-mailed me to tell me she’s booked her trip to Germany next spring.
My sister and her three boys and her husband.
For a week.
We have one extra bedroom.
We have two extra pillows and exactly 0 extra bed linens.
And there will be three boys. Here.
We don’t have a t.v.
WHAT ON EARTH WILL WE DO?
(I [...]
I can’t possibly imagine how I used to get up, oh, anytime before 8 a.m. any day of the week. These days my alarm goes off at 7:45, and then I get up around 8:15. 8:30 maybe.
Today, my alarm went off at 6:15. A normal time for most people. A normal time for me six [...]
… Waking up with a pot, pan, bowl or bucket next to your bed after an evening that included two bottles of wine.
… Finding out that said pot/pan/bowl/bucket was used because you couldn’t make it to the toilet in time.
… Finding out that two bottles of wine was really three bottles of wine.
… and scary [...]
I’ve gone through over 300 Kleenex since Friday. This tally does not include the random other things I’ve used to blow my nose, such as paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, and even a random piece of paper when I was desperate. That puts my tally up even higher.
But for a number we can quantify, 300. [...]
My beloved hometown, known by many only for it’s various smells (usually not so good smells, unless it’s Cap’n Crunchberry day at the General Mills plant) finds itself underwater as I write this. The place I worked that one summer in high school? Water is now rising to the third story of the five-story building. [...]
