november 30

I’m sitting here staring at the computer. Wasting time. Feeling like a student who needs to write a paper by 10:00pm and having nothing to write about. When really all I have to do is write some little dippy thing on my BLOG. For no one. Credit for nothing, grade for nothing, just for myself. [...]

blurbs

I just polled the people sitting in the room with me about what I should post for today. I’m doing a blurb from each of them.
Ryan: Just as I said “what should I post about today?” he yelled out the word “GNOME!” Yes, that’s right, gnome. This child’s language is exploding exponentially. For whatever reason, [...]

saturday night

Tagged by Jenny to do this fun little word activity. How DID she know that I am getting desperate for blog material?
I quickly answered all of these in a few minutes before we were heading out the door for a family meal out on the town. The time was 4:42pm, and this represents my state [...]
