Hopes For 2010

by Rachel on December 31, 2009

When I started college in 2006, 2010 seemed SO far away…several lifetimes at least.  D and I had just started dating, and I was beginning my first semester of nursing school. Fast forward to today, December 31, 2009.  D and I have been dating for 3 1/2 years,  and I’m about to graduate with a [...]

Big Kids

by Rachel on December 17, 2009

D and I were watching tv together last night….when a movie trailer came on…D’s eyes get big, he grabs my arm, and says “We have to see that!” Was it the new action movie? No. A new slasher movie? No. A new raunchy comedy? No. It  was “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel”. I’m pretty [...]

Free Woman

by Rachel on December 16, 2009

I am almost 100% finished with my next-to-last semester of college! All I have left to do is to write some short little report thing, turn that in….and then I’ll be done! I can’t believe it, but I only have 1 semester left…it seems like last week that I was a new freshman. Did I [...]

The Best Thing on My Computer…

by Rachel on December 15, 2009

I am about to go to school…D was going to go with me, but he is sick and pitiful, so I will leave him at home with his sickness.  However, I can’t leave him unentertained at home, so I am going to leave him a reminder of the best thing on my computer. He has [...]

Knit, Knit, Knit

by Rachel on December 14, 2009

I’m working on some knitting tonight.  The crafty bug has bit me hard over the last couple of weeks, and I’ve been sooo impatient for a night like tonight where I can just sit down and get to it. Unfortunately, the hat I was working on had to bite the dust….after a week of working [...]

OH HAI, WINTER!

by Rachel on December 11, 2009

Brrr! It’s VERY cold here…..Yesterday it never got much above freezing, if at all, and the windchill hovered somewhere around 18 degrees all day. Then last night it was around 18, and probably felt like single digits…brrr. Poor Mayzie-Jane was cold last night too. She started out on top of the covers…then started shivering pitifully [...]

A Big Thank You

by Rachel on December 11, 2009

Have you noticed how awesome my blog looks lately? I have Mike to thank for that!  I think if you need help with your website stuff, you should beg him to do it, because it will turn out awesome.

Creative D

by Rachel on December 4, 2009

D is cracking me up tonight. He’s singing along with every song that I am listening to….except he is changing the words.  I am trying hard to not laugh but it’s not exactly working out for me. So far he’s treated me with parodies of “Daughter” by Loudon Wainwright, “Imagine” (the Jack Johnson version) and [...]
