shopping trip

By me • Dec 26th, 2007 • Category: family, holidays

My sister and brother-in-law’s wedding (long complicated story, I’ll tell you later) is going to be next December 27th. So, being the deal loving family that we are, my sisters, mother, and I spent the afternoon perusing the half off Christmas aisles of various stores, comparing poinsettias and candles, debating table center pieces, and picking [...]



sshhhh…

By me • Dec 21st, 2007 • Category: family, holidays

Don’t tell anyone but I am currently blogging from a top-secret undisclosed location in Grand Rapids. I’m home with my family until Christmas, and while they are wonderful, funny, amazing people, they are driving me absolutely batshit crazy. I needed to get out and have some alone time or I would crack. And it would [...]



totally pulling this one out of my ass

It’s late, I just got off an 8 hour shift at the library, and I have to be back in at 9 a.m. for another one so please excuse the brevity. Tonight’s post is nothing more than some captions I made up to go along with some pictures I stole off Nana’s camera of [...]

Listen lady, I don’t know who you are, but we can do this the easy way or we can do this the the hard way.

And I’m tired. I worked today and then drove across the state in the freezing rain for almost fours hours (the trip only takes a little over two under normal conditions, but with traffic and weather it was “speed up, no wait, slow down, holy shit ride the break” pain in the ass. However [...]

So Sara, you’ve recently turned 30, quit a full time job with benefits, uprooted yourself and three cats to move to Detroit to go back to grad school, and only recently have you become employed after a 2 1/2 month search for a job. Now what?
I’m going to Disneyland!

It’s the Swedish version of Disneyland, and [...]

This morning I to get up at the butt crack of dawn to go to a staff meeting for my new job.
Wait, let me say that again.

the creation of a narcissist

By me • Oct 23rd, 2007 • Category: family

Don’t have much for you today - school, job hunting, and a general feeling of loss have sapped what creative energy I had today. So instead I bring you Amelia’s latest PhotoBooth session. She now knows how to start it and take her own pictures (and demands to do so every time she sees my [...]
