2/5/09 Dreams I haven’t posted in a long time, so I’m just posting for Amy since she asked what was up. I have a ton that I could post about: New Year’s, resolutions, cleaning, my birthday, weekend outings, new glasses, etc. But my motivation has been zilch. Maybe today’s post will inspire me. I’ve been having vivid odd dreams recently. Very strange. I usually never...

12/1/08 I was so tired this morning and had a hard time getting around. But then when I think that I’ve been on the go since Wednesday, it makes sense. On Wednesday, I worked until 3 pm. I met up with Chris, Sarah, Scott, and Sheila for dinner at Wild Wings. I was proud that I knew to stop at 2 vodka tonics and forgo the third. After dinner, we went back to Chris’s to play poker....

11/2/08 Okay, so all in all, my Halloween party was fun. I think everyone had a good time mostly. And if you want to read the fun parts. Go to my girl Sarah’s blog about it. http://saucybellum.blogspot.com/2008/11/it-will-now-be-referred-to-as-26.html You can see the progression of my drunkness. But I did look pretty cute until my eyes glazed over. Highlights included: lots of food &...

10/6/08 Why are there always dead worms on the sidewalks of my apartment complex? And why does my disgusting dog try to eat these dead worms? I estimate that she’s consumed 20 dead worms in the last week. Gag. Are you ever driving and there’s a car beside you and you think: If this car hit me, I wonder who would come to visit me the most in the hospital? Or do you ever wonder who would...

1/1/08 I bought a new car this weekend. I’d had my Sunfire for 10 years and put 136,000+ miles on it. It was definitely time to say goodbye. I got an ‘08 Nissan Sentra. I’ve never before had a 4 door, automatic locks or windows, a CD player, or cruise control. So I’m pretty excited. My favorite feature is the height adjustable seat. I used to have to sit on a cushion to see...

It was re-released on the big screen for their 20 year anniversary. And I have to say, I had SO much fun!! I joked at dinner that we were going to be the only ones in the theater. But it was sold out!!!...
