On April 19th, 2011, my beloved cousin Timothy passed away. It was extremely sudden and has left all of us feeling confused and heartbroken. My mom called to tell me the news yesterday evening. She started crying as she said “I have bad news.” Immediately I pictured Chester, my…
Writing Discrimination Into Our Consititution [By Rev. Charles Wilson]
Today I read an article regarding Amendment One that I just had to share. Reverend Wilson is such an eloquent writer; I found myself saying “YES YES YES” and nodding in agreement while reading his piece. He beautifully writes what I have always felt, but haven’t found the words to say. I hope those against…
Melodramatic Monday’s
I’m noticing a trend in my Monday’s lately: I develop or at least become aware of certain pet-peeves that I posses. I have a lot of pet-peeves. I’ve made a list before and it seems to only be growing as I spend more and more time in the work world. Monday’s have a way of turning…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Two Subjects
Challenge: Two Subjects. This “theme” is more of a composition challenge. Share a picture with two subjects! A few months ago I photographed my sister-in-law and her family so they could have a non-cheesy Christmas card to send out to loved ones. There is nothing worse than receiving a Christmas card that looks like it could…
You Look Like Someone I Know
If I had a dollar for every time someone told me “you look exactly like someone I know” or “where did you go to school? You look so familiar”, then I would be writing this post from my ocean-front mansion, my pet jaguars licking my toes and my butlers eagerly waiting for their next command.…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Journey
Okay so the weekly photo challenge was posted last Friday, I’m a bit late. It was a busy weekend full of family, food, exercise, and relaxation. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter! Here is a picture from my recent beach trip that says “journey” to me. It just so happens to be four of…
I Think The Hunger Games “Healing Ointment” is Real, and I Think I Have It
Last night I was working at my part-time waitressing job and was nearing the end of my shift. Hands full of glassware, I tip-toed through the busy kitchen and made my way to the dish pit. I have put dirty glasses in the dish rack thousands of times before, but this time was different. As…
My Boy
I’ve been thinking about you a lot today, old friend. I don’t let myself think about you too often, it still makes me sad. I’m scared of driving down the road and seeing a Wheaten Terrier happily trotting alongside his owner. All you Wheaten’s have the same sweet eyes and jovial disposition. I’m not sure…
Little Conversations (beers)
Isaac, have you been drinking a lot of beer while I’ve been at work? No. <<big smile>> You’re lying. The house is clean and it looks like you vacuumed. Yeah, I cleaned! And I sent a ton of important emails and texts AND did some schoolwork. Do you think I could do all of those…
iLove iPhone
It took me awhile to jump onto the iPhone bandwagon. I just got my first iPhone 5 months ago, which is surprising because I am a true and loyal Apple product fan. I didn’t want the iPhone because so many people already had it and raved about it constantly (reasonable logic, right?). It’s like when…
