Second Verse, Same As the First

by Rachel on April 8, 2012

I feel like it is all that I write about lately, but I am sick…again. Wednesday I began to feel like I was coming down with a little cold. No big deal, got out and did some yard work, determined not to let it get the best of me. Thursday came and confirmed that I [...]

Racking Up the Points

by Rachel on March 28, 2012

It has been brought to my attention that “Titanic” will be playing in 3D in theaters next week. Obviously, I HAVE to see this. Oh yes,  I could buy the DVD and watch it at home, but it wouldn’t be in 3D, now would it? And, hello, 23 year old Leo was HOT.  And Kate [...]

Girl Gone Mild

by Rachel on March 20, 2012

Today at school we had a pep rally of sorts for the kids, and all I could think about was how different it was from the lame-o pep rallies we had when I was in high school. (Which was not very long ago, even though my kids at school believe it was sometime during the [...]

The Path to Our House

by Rachel on March 19, 2012

I’ve kept pretty quiet about it here on ye olde blog, but D and I had searched for a house FOR MONTHS. We saw dozens of houses that felt like hundreds. We wrote contracts on two that did not work out.  I began to despair that we would never find a house, and that we [...]

The Body Wins Again

by Rachel on March 13, 2012

Dear Body, Remember how, like ONE MONTH ago, we were in bed, shaking and shivering? We also may or may not have thrown up at work and our head may have spun around 360 degrees. (One of those things didn’t happen…figure it out, Indiana Jones.) Well this morning, we woke up, feeling FINE AND DANDY, [...]

I Almost Made Chocolate Butter

by Rachel on February 20, 2012

Yesterday was my Dear Not-Old Pop’s Birthday. Being as how I am the official family birthday cake baker, I decided to whip him up some mocha cupcakes with chocolate whipped cream frosting.  (Before you get too impressed, I totally stole the recipe from Jenn, here) Now, for Christmas, my parents bought me a professional grade [...]

My Priorities May Be Slightly Askew

by Rachel on February 20, 2012

Out of all the accomplishments I’ve er, accomplished in my nearly 24 years (National Honor Society, awards for humorous interpretation, maintaining all my scholarships throughout college, graduating with a good GPA, and so on and so forth); I’m not sure if any made me quite as proud as having one of my memes picked for [...]

Some guy tried to kiss me on my couch tonight. What’s up with that?

No Guilt Here….

by Rachel on February 16, 2012

I may or may not have consumed an unhealthy number of Samoas today….and then I may or may not have hid the box. Then I may have dipped into D’s “secret” Skittle supply once  twice  three times. (Guess it’s not so secret anymore…whoops.) And, for a special added bonus, my breakfast may or may not [...]

Sometimes…

by Rachel on February 11, 2012

Sometimes I consider going back and deleting many of my old posts. Why? Because I started writing this blog when I was 19-20 years old, and I sounded like…well, someone who was 19 or 20 years old. Not that I’m that much older now, but in many ways, completely and totally different. I stumbled across [...]
