Freshly painted deck! Old deck. But new bbq! old deck. Sad. grey. splintery, old deck. New Deck! Pretty! Painted! Lovely! This weekend, we had a bbq for my roommate Angelina. She is leaving for Iraq again this month. She’ll be gone for 6 months. Everyone was able to relax and enjoy the newly painted deck!!Continue reading “Painting the Deck”

I was so happy to see her. She bounced into the admissions office and said, “I’m in your Ethics class!” I immediately noticed her smile. She was just radiant. Still too skinny, but radiant. When I finally started class, she was up front and center, eagerly answering questions and participating. Just one quarter ago, sheContinue reading “Tears of Joy”

The new quarter has begun! I arrived home safely at 12:30am and immediately began working on classes! I fell into bed at about 3am. Remind me never to go on vacation, put on a concert, finish up a quarter-full of classes, and start a new quarter-full all in the same weekend. Now that I canContinue reading “Out of the mouths of babes”

Tonight we did the show. I think my dad and Matt were both petrified. I don’t know why I wasn’t. I guess I was kind of in this “Meh!” mode. I figured, it would either be great–or it wouldn’t. But I was going to have fun. Suh there. The whole place was packed. It wasContinue reading “Extreme Cabaret!”

These are my favorite little boys. I was there at their parent’s wedding. I fed little Peyton with the little straw on the pinky because his mama was too sick too nurse.

Dad was at the computer looking up lyrics, I was compiling playlists on itunes, and Matt was just trying not to be overwhelmed. He’s a little afraid that vocally he can’t handle this thing–but he’ll be great! We started singing through theContinue reading “Songs for the Concert”

Perhaps I set myself up for the joy, but just stepping off the plane–I could feel the friendly Iowa warmth surround me. I began chatting with the girl next to me on our way to the baggage claim. At the rental counter, I was talking to the guy about which car to rent–and he gaveContinue reading “Friendly Iowa”

David Shore is a genius. Last night’s episode of House was incredible. I love this show. I was shocked. It was the kind of shock that leaves the viewer entirely satisfied with the twists and turns of the story. Brilliant!! I had to catch my breath. Genius!! David Shore is my idol.

I have spent the day inside the house. I went out to get the mail, but that was it. Today I finished the take home final for the World Cultures class. I am relieved that I will never have to do that again. Except that I will because I need to reassess what chapters IContinue reading “Preparation Overload”
