For and Against

Categorized Under: Me me me. 23 Commented

Over the past couple of months, I’ve had an incredibly hard time putting into words how I felt. Well - maybe it had less to do with the words and everything to do with that “Publish” button - the one button that would spin my post into the blogosphere, never to be gotten back. [...]

Sweaty Stupid

Categorized Under: The way I roll 6 Commented

Yesterday, I had the brightest idea EVER.  I decided that I would get Lorelei and myself out of the house and go for a walk up and down the neighboring street.  The very idea of getting some easy cardio in via walking and the fresh air excited me - as well as the chance to [...]

A Mental Move.

Categorized Under: Random 11 Commented

I’ve been thinking a lot about packing our things up and moving. I’d prefer Ptown as it’s where I grew up, but seeing as how that’d be a little more of a drive for Steven, that’s probably not going to happen. The other option is CollegeTown. Regardless, the nagging desire to have [...]

I asked Miss to start a list, so I will too.  Out of fairness ;)  Besides, she says my Amazon list with 99% L’s stuff just doesn’t cut it.  I hope you’ll all do this (and be sure to tell me!  ESPECIALLY if you are doing the bloggy swap!)  Anyways, the idea is to post [...]
