i should be sleeping.

I’m sitting on the couch at 12:24 am, wondering why I waste so much time at night, and why I can never force myself to stand up and go to bed. It’s a disease. I could be completely exhausted and still not go to bed until hours later. Yikes.
But the good news is that I [...]

Random update

I am at the close of the hardest week I’ve had here in Athens. I can’t say I’m sorry to see it go. I saw my husband very little, I cried just about daily, and I missed family and friends like you wouldn’t believe. Oh, and I was bored out of my mind babysitting two [...]

Piggly Wiggly

A Piggly Wiggly just had its grand opening down the street from our house. I’m finally going to get to see what a Piggly Wiggly is all about.
Otherwise, life is pretty much the same as always. Job applications, too much TV, and a lot of boredom.

i’m still haunted

We are back from our trip to Nevada. The graduation went well, and we had a fun party with the family.
Meanwhile, a ghost update. The ghost didn’t do much haunting while John was away. Thank goodness. I was scared enough staying by myself for two nights without dealing with strange sounds and ghostly manifestations. I’m [...]

living with a ghost

We have a ghost in our condo. I don’t think I’ve mentioned that fact before.
I survived last night without John. He is in Tucson until tomorrow, so I am on my own until then. I don’t mind being alone, most of the time. I like having time to do whatever I want to. I [...]

my favorite day

It’s my birthday, so I’m going to do a year in review. Some great things have happened this year, and surprisingly, I’ve done some great and interesting things. Sad and hard things have happened as well, but life is like that.

I think I’ve developed as a person this year, and that’s important to me. [...]

it’s a new year

So I’ve had about a million things I wanted to post on here, but something kept me from it. It’s like I got shy or something.
But I guess I’m over that. The new year is upon us, and unlike many people, I love the new year, it is significant to me, and I look at [...]

random thoughts today

I’m on a Bulgarian food roll — I made Pulneni Chushki (stuffed peppers) last night. So delicious, except I forgot the most important part — yogurt. But that’s ok, because they were still tasty, and somewhat healthy.
And we are officially partied out. We went to a party on Friday and two on Saturday. [...]

i don’t know what i was thinking

I have never worn fake nails in my entire life. That’s the premise here.
I’ve also never had great fingernails — they break easily, so I just keep them short. This has never been a big deal to me. I’m a low-key person, and pretty casual. I’ve never cared much that my nails don’t look fabulously [...]

ampersand

I voted yesterday. There were a few tough decisions, and one where I had to vote for ‘the other guy’ aka the Libertarian candidate, simply because the other two choices were unacceptable to me. (I wanted to write in John, but he says he’s too young.) But I voted.
And then I received two separate telephone [...]
