Remember Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Do you think Atheneum is looking for a sequel about a twenty-something miss who had a crappy Wednesday? That’s how I’d pitch it to the publisher. Very evocative, no? No? Welp, now you know…

Today: And the award goes to…
Yesterday, the lovely Jessica of Dairy Free Betty was kind enough to pass along a Beautiful Blogger award. Her instructions were to share the love with seven other ladies, and share seven things you might not care to know about me. Let’s get the boring…

Today: Get ready to be merry.
Sometimes music tells it so much better than just regular ol’ words. And if those words are my words, music (even the kind played by a seven-year old on a plastic recorder) would probably always tell it better. So when I sat down to type…

After a hectic week, I was looking forward to sleeping in a bit (7 maybe?) yesterday, but unfortunately we found ourselves scrambling to get to the vet as soon as it opened. Our little monster was having stomach… issues (I promise to spare you the…

Today: Poor boys.
This is not a good week for the man and male dog in my life. Nick left Monday morning for a week-long business trip in Omaha, and if the Omaha part wasn’t bad enough, he landed in Nebraska with a fever of 103. He’s now…

Today: Make it formal.
Tonight is Nick’s fraternity formal. It’s sort of like a high school dance, but half of the people (ourselves included) are old. Considering last year’s formal started with undergraduate boys performing some sort of choreographed dance and ended with a certain significant other needing to…
