Spoke too soon

No, it’s nothing bad!
With regard to the Illinois trip, I did call that one too soon. Matthew decided he would rather take the weekend to catch up on his sleep after all. Well, he needs it.
So for any of my relatives reading this, we will not be down to visit for [...]

Looking up

It’s not that I spoke too soon, it’s just….well, it just was. So there.
The sun is out! The sun will hopefully be out all day today!. I feel much better.
The Illinois trip is on! Yes, Matthew decided that we are going! Huzzah! (Well, he didn’t exactly decide so much [...]

Downhill

Things are gonna be in a bit of a downhill run this week.
First of all, the weather. We currently have 10+ inches of snow on the ground, although I will say that over this past weekend a good portion of it melted down. Today we’re in for a round of ice. 1/8 [...]

Playing catchup

I am so sorry for basically having abandoned my blog since September! Things have been so busy, what with school and work and all. I apologize.
Just some quick updates:
~Happy Thanksgiving, late! Our dad came to visit, and we had a good time.
~School is going good. I am hopefully getting [...]

Mouse, Inc.?

My sister and I are going into business together.
Yup, we’re taking the plunge and starting our own business. Well, not really our OWN business. We’re going to be selling Lia Sophia jewelry.
We’ve been thinking about it for a while now, ever since my brother’s girlfriend invited us to our first Lia Sophia party. [...]

Woebegone First Thoughts

I’ve been having a hard time sticking with my first thoughts. Any writer will tell you, first thoughts are usually where the good stuff is. But I can’t. I’m censoring myself, I think. Why? I don’t know. I’ve been having a hard time with creative writing this semester. [...]

Brief update

The first week of classes are over and done with. WHEW! Well, it’s going to be fine. Busy, but fine.
I haven’t been feeling well all week. What else is new?
Work is fine. School is fine.
For the moment, things are fine.

Update

Finished The Old Man and the Sea on Saturday. Lovely tragic story. He found just the right words for everything. I’ll have to read it again, though, to get the full effect, since it essentially took me two days to read (Sunday and Saturday), and I could probably read it in one [...]

And so…

…it begins.
I started my journey to becoming an autodidact yesterday, with Ernest Hemingway. I started reading The Old Man and the Sea, on a long-standing recommendation from Pop (my grandfather). It was either Hemingway or Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. Dostoyevsky will be next now. I went out to Half Price [...]

A book meme

Go figure, my first post back would be a meme. Well, I’m feeling lazy. I found this via Green Duckies; she’s got more interesting answers, of course.
This probably isn’t already stuff you didn’t already know. I plan on redoing this one in one year, to see how far my promise to myself [...]
