Showering in Babies

I don’t normally get invited to many baby showers.  Maybe it’s because most of my friend with kids live far away or maybe because people think I just despise kids.  Let me tell you, I don’t despise kids.  I just have a limit.  Think of it an annoyed meter.  The brattier a child is, the [...]

Overachiever of the year

Last time we talked about school I was taking my one whole Word class.  You know the one I rocked an A in.  So I decided to up things this quarter.  I’m taking one whole photograph class.
I should win an award for student of the year.
I wasn’t going to take any classes this time, but [...]

Being a Butcher Rocks

Last week my father came to visit.  Thankfully Portland survived, but sadly, not all the spiders did.  Nasty things.  Spiders, not Portland.

Dad arrived on Thursday, which was also the same day that one of my favorite authors arrived for a book signing at Powell’s bookstore.
Jim Butcher.

If you have read my blog for a while you [...]

Spider kamikaze

I hate, hate, hate spiders.
I hate them so bad I have almost wrecked when one got in my car and tried to help me drive.  Another time I made Curtis pull over on the side of the road and let me crawl out over the driver’s seat because there was a spider dangling on the [...]

Home Cookin

I managed to whine, plead, cry, and beg this entire week off of work to spend with my father.  Unfortunately, Curtis was not so lucky.  All of Wednesday Emilee and I managed to do none of the things we planned on getting done, and spent most of the day laying around being bums.  So around [...]

Peeping

Its two days later, but I swear I’m still a little hung-over.  Easter was so fun, but I did drink a little too much.  The drink we were making that I was calling “Jesus Juice”, was a recipe we got from the Chambord bottle.  We found the recipe years ago, and after drinking 4 or [...]

Cleaning fun

This week my father is coming to visit.  Even thought I have known for months, I managed to put off all extra cleaning I need to do until the last minute.  So basically I’m now in a panic, and this whole week I’ve been frantically cleaning the spare bedroom.  I sometimes have issues with my [...]

Happy Belated Anniversary

March 17 is Saint Patrick day.  Every year.  It is also my sister’s birthday.  Yep, every year also.  March 17 is also me and Curtis’s unofficial anniversary.  10 years this man has put up with me.  I don’t think anyone knows why.
10 years ago I took my sister out to the bars to celebrate her [...]

Easter plans

Since our house is definitely made up of a non religious group, our holidays are interesting.  We like to celebrate holidays, but of course we leave all mention of religion out.  This time we are going to try melding it.
First we have peep jousting.  Oh yes we are.  What?  You don’t know what peep jousting [...]
