When I was in Boston, my camera broke. It wasn’t a total surprise- the camera was over 5 years old, and it’s been on at least a half dozen domestic and a half dozen international adventures. It’s held up quite well, but probably earned its retirement. I limped through the Boston trip using my mother’s [...]
Is it possible to be TOTALLY OUT OF ENERGY? ‘Cuz that’s how I feel!
Okay, so I guess I’m technically not “totally” out of energy. I know there are lots of people who have a much worse lot than I. But I am tired right down to the bone.
We returned from Boston last Saturday, and since [...]
I am not a fan of rechargeable batteries.
To be honest, that is not a popular position in our current economy. It seems like almost every battery powered electronic “toy” has rechargeable batteries, from Ipods to digital cameras. That is why I personally wish that every “rechargeable” battery met the standard of traditional alkaline batteries (AA, [...]
I went swimming again this morning. I almost didn’t go- you know, the whole “I don’t wanna get out of bed” routine- but I’m glad I did. It felt nice to be in the pool, even though I did not push myself very hard. (Plus, I forgot how good my hair feels when I wash [...]
-the past two days have been kinda crazy. My mom is helping me to strip the wallpaper in my room, then we will repaint the whole thing. It will look so nice. We have already gotten the wallpaper off of two walls- which is very good when you consider that we have not removed any [...]
*edit* I found this in my drafts folder. I wrote it a couple of days ago… guess I forget to post it! How weird!
I have oodles of photos from our weekend visit to Nebraska to post and write about. I was kind of waiting on the photos from my mother’s camera too, but I haven’t [...]
Summer is supposed to be a relaxing time. But I guess not for me!
I am redecorating my room this summer. It is LONG overdue… the last time the room was decorated, I was a baby. I’m excited about it- it will be nice to see some of my old furniture go and to buy new [...]
Most of you know that I am a member of the nation’s overeducated and underemployed/underinsured. It’s been at least a year and a half since I’ve had health insurance, but I’m thinking about getting health insurance again. It would definitely be a personal expense but I really suspect it could pay off in the long [...]
Oops. Forgot to mention on here that tomorrow is my birthday. I will be twenty six years old. My parents are taking me out to La Fuente, which is by far my FAVORITE restaurant.
They want to get me a birthday gift, but honestly I can’t think of ANYTHING that I need that costs less than [...]
I awoke this morning and discovered nearly $200 worth of writing opportunities in my inbox.
Suffice it to say, I am VERY pleased by this. I must admit that I’m very nervous as well, though.
I keep rolling it around in my head. Let’s say I was able to make a steady $100 per week by writing. [...]
