In which I happily accept hand-me-downs

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

There was girl that lived one block over from me in high school. She was a year younger, but way more mature then I was. Or rather more mature looking. If you know what I mean. (And I think you do.)
She came from a family of a million kids. They had a kid in every [...]

In which I’m jealous

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

In no particular order.
I’m jealous of girls with fancy shoes and better hair. I’m jealous of girls who don’t have to wash their hair everyday or shave their legs. I’m jealous of people with designer jeans. I’m jealous of stay at home moms. I’m jealous of people with better jobs then I have. I’m [...]

One night last week The King and [...]

I haven’t been feeling so good lately. It’s probably a combination of a few different things. You know, things like returning home from our month long vacation, work stress, marriage stress, upcoming holiday stress, church responsibilities, my upcoming (fourth!) colonoscopy, Babboo’s new school…..blah, blah, blah…..
