a monday

I had a Monday today. I’m pretty lucky because I don’t dread Mondays—I don’t have school or a job I dislike to go to. With just a cup of coffee, Mondays are just like a normal Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Today, however, was another story entirely. Maybe it was because I missed the coffee. I [...]

spring break

So my family (minus Allen and I) left for Orlando this morning. That’s right, for spring break they’ll be at Disneyworld with the rest of the country. Oh yeah, and did I mention it’s a band trip? Ahh chaos. In the meantime, I’m enjoying the deserted town of Knoxville. Target was particularly un-busy. The gym [...]

two reviews

All the girls in my family saw Ice Princess last night, because, well, I’m a sucker for ice skating movies as well as crappy teen and tween movies I can make fun of. And make fun of I did. In the movie, Joan Cusack plays Michelle Trachtenberg’s feminist mom who doesn’t support her desire to [...]

the o.c.

I want to live in the Cohens’ pool house.

cookeville

So Emma is here for the next couple of days. I’ll let her tell you why. My mother and I met halfway between Knoxville and Franklin (Cookeville) to exchange her. Mom left about forty-five minutes late, so I was left to entertain myself in Cookeville for that period of time. Non ideal, but I figured [...]

clean

You know, for someone as absurdly anal as I am, you would never believe the disheveled condition my apartment is in most of the time. I astound myself, actually. I like to say it’s because the only thing that outweighs my anal-ness is my laziness. But, really, isn’t it like that for everyone? Usually one [...]

vacuum

Tonight, I almost died. I was vacuuming, actually using the “cleaning tools” on my vacuum, and somehow the bottom regular vacuuming part sucked up the power cord and chewed it up. The machine made some weird noise, so I turned it off, and I was shocked and then very very very grateful that I didn’t [...]

sixes

I watched six vintage (first season) episodes of Sex and the City today, and I did six loads of laundry. Coincidence? I think not.

He’s Just Not That Into You

So I finally read He’s Just Not That Into You this afternoon. I was at Barnes & Noble today to buy my next book (I finished Life of Pi on Thursday), and I sat down to leaf through what I had picked up, and I ended up reading the whole thing. I was a bit [...]

lower back

Last night I sprained my lower back. I was at the gym, doing weights, working, of course, my back. Thus ended my vigorous fifteen-minute workout, and I hobbled home. I thought I’d sleep it off, but I kept waking up during the night when I shifted positions. At 3.00am, I found some shoes, hobbled out [...]
