My fiance, father, and brother-in-law. I don’t remember the conversation they were having but I do know this is one of my favorite family pictures ever. I guess this is what you get when the man to woman ratio in the family is 3 to 5. They are definitely in touch with their feminine sides!…
One of the reasons I enjoy my part-time waitressing gig so much is because I get to talk to strangers all night. For the most part, I truly love hearing about the lives of so many different types of people. It is amazing what you can learn about a person in between serving him tomato…
Me: <<Pick up a card out of the card holder on our table, read it, and put it back>> Isaac: Did that feel weird? Me: Did what feel weird? Isaac: Putting something back where it belongs. He’s lucky he’s cute. And I’m lucky he puts up with my horrible habits.

For a few years now I have been hooked on reading memoirs. Ever since reading “Running With Scissors” in 2009, I have been intrigued by the human’s ability to reflect on his or her past, come to terms with a train wreck of a childhood, and turn it into a comical chain of events that…
My two younger sisters are on their college breaks right now so they are at home with our parents doing normal college kid summer break stuff. Well, I take that back. Normal college kid break stuff is drinking, tanning, and short meaningless relationships with cute surfer boys. My sisters, on the other hand, woke up…
Working in college administration is certainly rewarding and can even be fun sometimes. Sometimes. I am the college Registrar, meaning I am responsible for creating student schedules, handling transcripts, and several other things that would bore you to tears. I am probably one of the least liked people on staff due to my job requirements…
Court, is the light bulb in the dining room out or is the light broken? The light bulb is out, it has been for a few days now. So you’re just waiting for me to fix it? Yes. Just so I’m clear on my duties for the rest of our lives, it is my job…
