I strive to be a non-judgmental person. Luckily for me, I LOVE being around people, so it helps that I’ve had the privilege of interacting with people from all walks of life. That being said, no one is perfect, and it is impossible not to think a “judgey” thought every now and again. So here [...]

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 [...]

It’s like someone turned on a fire hose outside here today. I wore a rain jacket and wellies to class this morning, but neither were very much use, because it was raining EXTREMELY hard. A friend and I went out for a sushi lunch and were soaked by the time we got inside the restaurant. [...]

So guess what I saw on the way to the grocery store today? Not one, but TWO men that I have previously, in my before D days, kissed. (Well, I guess they were boys when I kissed them, but they’re definitely men now.) I didn’t speak to them or anything, one was picking up a [...]

Today while fooling around on the computer and starting my morning routine, I happened to catch a few minutes of a show called “World’s Strictest Parents”. The premise of the show is for two “out-of-control” (or normal, if you prefer) teenagers are sent to live with a strict family for a week so that they [...]

I like facebook. I think it gives you a chance to connect with people on a nice, non-intrusive level. By that, I mean that it doesn’t replace a phone call or visit from close friends, but a nice way to stay reasonably in touch with those you might have otherwise lost contact with. Oh sure, [...]

Yesterday, we got a letter with our paper from the new newspaper carrier. I am guessing that we got a new carrier because we didn’t tip the old one ever, even after they sent out these letters at Christmas telling us their name and address, basically begging for some tippage. Now I don’t mind tipping [...]

My sincerest apologies to you if you like the following show that I am about to heavily criticize. Have you ever seen the commercials for that show “Army Wives”? Or seen the show? I see the commercials all the time, because I watch Lifetime a lot. I saw the show once, and that was enough [...]

So, I am really proud of my D. I’ve always known he was a very handy guy to have around, but I never stopped to really think about and appreciate how clever he really is. His dad needed some plumbing work done, and was going to call a plumber to do it. “Don’t do that,” [...]

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 [...]
