‘Stache Strangeness

by Rachel on November 21, 2009

So, there is something that really grosses me out….and it seems to be extremely prevalent here lately….are you ready for it? Wispy moustaches. BLECH! Don’t get me wrong, I am generally a fan of nice neat facial hair. D almost always has a beard/moustache, moustache/goatee combo of some sort. It’s never long and it’s always [...]

A Serious One

by Rachel on October 20, 2009

What do you do when  you REALLY know that something a friend is doing is, well, moronic? Do you talk to them about it? Ignore it and see what happens? Voice it (semi)anonymously on the internet? Said friend doesn’t read my blog, but I still don’t want to air all her personal problems on the [...]

Get A Grip

by Rachel on September 22, 2009

Pet Peeve Numero Uno: When people don’t control their own freaking kids. Let me explain: Yesterday evening,  I went to the store for my usual Monday grocery replenishing.  I didn’t need a whole lot, but decided to go to the local chain of super-cheap grocery stores so that I could stock up and get some [...]

I Did Not Cry. Well, That’s a Lie.

by Rachel on August 3, 2009

Today we dropped my sis off so she can go too boot camp.  I promised her I wouldn’t cry, and I didn’t. In front of her anyway. I was teary and couldn’t talk, only hug her, but I am so proud of myself for not crying! Score one for Rachel! I am not a nice [...]

Thanks, But No Thanks

by Rachel on July 28, 2009

The Crazy

by Rachel on July 26, 2009

Warning: Slight TMI mentioned. Ok more than slight, but it’s not really gross. So, tomorrow is gyno appointment day, and for once, I am actually glad that I am going.  Don’t get me wrong, I never skip on going because I don’t like it, because it is important to go. I feel like I really [...]

Yikes.

by Rachel on July 16, 2009

Today, I decided to take a semi-short (not shorter in distance, but at least you don’t have to hit all the traffic lights in town)  cut through a highly populated subdivision near us.  I do this quite a bit, it is a busy road through this neighborhood.  It is a pretty packed place, the houses [...]
