Happy Easter!

By me • Mar 23rd, 2008 • Category: holidays, today's blog 365 post

Or, in other words, Happy Zombie Day!

Since we didn’t have any kids to spoil today the boys got a visit from the Easter Bunny instead.
(and in case you were wondering - the Peeps and coffee experiment? a tasteless, but instant, diabetic coma.)



VD Day

By me • Feb 14th, 2008 • Category: being single, cats, heartbreak, holidays, today's blog 365 post

Ah yes, the Black 14th. Single Awareness Day. VD Day. Surprisingly though, it’s just not getting me down this year. I’ve realized that I’m just not ready for a relationship at this point in my life. My life is consumed by school and work at the moment. And while I’m miles better than I was [...]



Happy New Year!

By me • Jan 1st, 2008 • Category: family, holidays

I’ll admit it, I was a complete recluse this holiday season. A total Grinch. If you aren’t related to me, you didn’t see me.* But last night my sister had a New Year’s Eve party and forced my ass to socialize. Since I had been out of practice for almost two weeks I decided to [...]



a not-so-fond farewell

By me • Dec 31st, 2007 • Category: holidays

Dear 2007,
Well, we’ve had quite a time together, haven’t we? And I don’t mean it in a good way either. You’ve been a royal pain in my ass.
Thanks to your arrival I turned 30 this year. And while it was inevitable, doing so has made me think more of my own mortality and place in [...]



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 [...]



happy holidays!

from us to you

because even Hallmark can’t say “Merry Christmas!” more eloquently than a cat being humiliated and forced to wear a Santa hat.



bah humbug

By me • Dec 23rd, 2007 • Category: being single, heartbreak, holidays

Thank you everyone for your congrats - I am tremendously relieved and happy about it. With all that out of the way I was hoping things would calm down and I’d start enjoying the holidays. But something’s just not quite right. This year the Christmas spirit just isn’t quite getting to me. I’ve tried shopping, [...]



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 [...]
