Queen of Rambles

Ughhhhhhhh. . . . I have a cold *whine whine whine*. I forgot to stock up on cold medication while I was in the US (darned wedding made me forget about the important things in life) so I have nothing to help me fight off the snot monsters. I don’t even have any […]

I’m all wore out. The pizza party went very well, but man was it hard work. I made the garlic bread sticks and they took a lot of work and no one even ate them. I don’t know why I try to make appetizers when Annica comes over. Her family doesn’t eat them. I […]

It’s snowing out right now. That is all.

Remember back in the good old days of childhood when colors were flavors? I know I’m not alone when I say my favorite flavor was blue. Give my childhood self a blue Popsicle, a blue Icee or some blue frosting and my childhood self would be in heaven. Does anyone even know […]

I hereby declare my independence from the media driven world of beauty and acceptance. I hereby declare that I am who I am and I will never be anything but that. I hereby declare that my body is not the sum total of me. My body is not me at all. I am my brains […]

Man oh man have I been tired today. I stayed up well past midnight reading a book that wasn’t even great (I just wanted to get it over with) and was rudely awakened at 8:30 am by dear Annica. I’m not a morning person. I’m not an early riser. I don’t know how […]

There’s been a distinct chill in the air the past few days, which is sad. Summer is over and it’s not even September. In my home town September is often one of the warmest months of the year.
I’m not too sad though. There’s something cozy about the smell of wood smoke in the air and […]

Tonight has been miraculous. I’ve actually been in a good mood! After a very tearful and bitter weekend it’s nice to be back to my old self. I hope I don’t come off as too unbalanced, but I guess I tend to write more about angsty stuff than good stuff since writing out […]

The wedding yesterday was every bit as boring as I thought it was going to be. I really should follow the old adage “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” but why? I am trying to be positive because I’m tired of my negative attitude about everything […]

One of Mike’s long-time co-workers is getting married and we were invited. It’s actually quite an honor to be invited to this wedding because they are both from here and have tons and tons of relatives and life long friends so there wasn’t a lot of room for co-workers to attend. In fact, only two […]
