crazy days
i just ate a lunch of spicy qunioa salad, avocado and kale chips. it was disgusting because the salad was 5 days old, slimey and warm (i let it sit in my office all morning instead of putting it in the frig) the avocado was old and i burned the kale chips. i over-salted everything in an attempt to salvage it.
there are not really any groceries at my house right now because between wedding...
: Question: Illegal Immigrants →
Well, I feel differently depending on the day and mostly I don’t mind illegal immigrants, but I think most people that oppose them (Christians or non) are basically opposed because they assume that if immigrants are illegal, it means they are not paying taxes yet reaping the benefits of the taxes…
i would also like a little perspective on this. i feel like craig could give us some bullet...
i know ohio like the back of my hand
in ohio with my family for a quick visit, i’m realizing there are some really awesome things about my family that i wish i could bottle up and bring back to kcmo:
“walking in” on each other isn’t considered rude or embarrassing. it could be in the bathroom or when someone is trying to steal a few alone moments. when someone interrupts what you’re doing, in our family...
just ordered 200 assorted noisemakers from partycheap.com. yesterday i transported a six-foot tall vintage aluminum easel in my little economy car (six-foot things just barely fit if you fold the backseats down and shove it through the trunk. good to know.) excuse me, but i have to go bid on a bulk order of seven-inch tapers on ebay.
wedding planning makes you do the weirdest stuff.
gratuitous lists: the jacks
the wedding is coming up so fast. last time i counted it was 24 days to go. that was seven days ago. i try not to count because it makes me feel like i might not get everything done in time. the entirety of my energy is being put towards these insane wedding tasks, many of which i didn’t even realize were a thing until a few months ago. like creating a “week of” flow chart, a...
i just have to recognize how awesome my sister is. she’s floating around my house, picking up random items and putting them away. she picked up these bagels were sitting on the counter and stuck them in the freezer. i had said i was going to that, but then i got sidetracked. i didn’t even know she heard me say that.
and here i am, sitting on my butt using her computer. even right this...
Watchandrea and lucas’s wedding was amazing.
friday afternoon
coming to you live from my office, rocking out to Maps! how 2003 of me, am i right? but what if i told you i was listening to Maps, on my PANDORA station? wow, way more like 2007 to the max. except, wait. i’m actually listening to maps, on pandora, while i eat GLUTEN FREE CRACKERS.
whats up 2010?
who doesn't?
me: i was listening to the motown station on pandora to get some ideas for our wedding reception music
alan: that's great. i love motown.
one more thing...
about lebron.to put some perspective to the madness.
LB and i are the same age, and we graduated from high school in the same year from private schools that were 20 minutes away from one another. if someone approached me and said:
“you can either stay in a mid-sized market that regularly has below-freezing temperatures, working your butt off every night from october-june in high pressure...
gratuitous lists: lebron edish
reasons i’m sad about lb leaving the cavs:
1) no longer proud to use my conversational trump card, “i saw him play HS ball.” 2) akron goes back to being shorthand for “depressed former manufacturing city” where characters on sitcoms and romantic comedies inexplicably take business trips. 3) watching CAVS games for the last 7 seasons has been serious fun 4) even if LB...
last night, the overnight stock guy at a grocery store in the northland was pretty mad. maybe he just found out that his wife got laid off. maybe he stubbed his toe. maybe he found out that lebron was headed to miami—i don’t know what had him heated. so heated, in fact, that when a big shipment of eggs came in, he saw fit to throw four—four!—boxes from the 18-wheeler onto...
some things i'm pondering
what is my new phone number?
can i eat a whole watermelon today.
should i try to get a little “color” (suntan) or just be “white” for my wedding?
what about spray tans?
why am i so tired all of the time?
not sleeping so well at my new house?
how does one get “better” REM sleep?
why did pix messaging suddenly start working on my phone? (so glad that it...
