A few minutes into my shift at work on New Year’s Eve, some old guy asked me if I was going to get wasted that night. I awkwardly told him no, and what I did do on New Year’s Eve was far better than getting wasted. I never do much for New Year’s Eve, and [...]

Yesterday we decorated the church for Christmas. My brother, one of my sisters, two of my friends, my high school art teacher, and I were assigned to carry the huge, heavy, ceramic manger scene from the basement to the front steps of the church, where we were to set it up. We were all pretty [...]

Not a day after I was lamenting the fact that nothing blog-worthy was going on, did something blog-worthy happen. My family has never been known for the ability to go off on vacation without a hitch. It’s always quite the production. The last minute need to buy a bathing suit, the hotel ‘loosing’ our reservation, [...]

I realize that I haven’t updated this blog in over a week. Not only that, but my past five or so blogs have been about Harry Potter. Why? Because nothing that exciting has happened. Nothing blog-worthy has come about in my life. But, I feel the need to update despite the lack of excitement in [...]

Four years ago today, on Friday the 13th, we brought Benny home. He was two years old then and now he is six. I can’t believe it. Time has flown by. The past four years have been so chaotic and fun with him. I’ll try and take some new pictures when I go home, but [...]

Little Girl- A really fast bunny goes and gives everyone eggs! Pastor- Actually, Easter really doesn’t have anything to do with bunnies. What’s Easter really [...]

For as long as I can remember, it has been a tradition of my family to have bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches on Christmas Eve. I actually don’t like bacon, so I just put cheese on mine. But everyone else eats them. The other day, my mom decided she would make latkes (potato pancakes) for [...]

Mother Nature blessed us with about six inches of snow last Friday. It started snowing in the late morning, although my siblings did have a snow day. They got an anticipatory snow day. I thought it was a good idea. My mom went grocery shopping and was hoping to get back home before the snow [...]

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. We lit the menorah and my mom gave us each a bag of Hanukkah gelt and $1. Today at work one of the customers who went through my line wished me a Happy Hanukkah, which was cool. I didn’t know him so I doubt he knew that I [...]

Last week’s ice storm blessed my siblings with an early release on Thursday and a snow day on Friday. I was thoroughly disappointed that the storm brought us a mere 2 or 3 inches of snow, when forecasters originally called for a foot. Instead we got a quarter inch of ice followed by a pathetic [...]
