Why is it so hard sometimes for me to maintain? What I mean by that is… well, for example: I have a large L-shaped desk where I spend the majority of my time. I feel like I am cleaning it up all the time, and yet I also feel like it is always a mess. The same thing goes for my closet and my bathroom. I just cannot seem to get them super clean and then maintain that level of clean for any significant amount of time. G and I recently spent a couple of hours seriously cleaning out our…
I did it again last night. I thought, “Oh, I’ll just read for a few minutes before bed.” And then I stayed up past 4 AM to finish the book. The whole time, I glanced at the clock and knew with a sinking heart that I would be tired and would not get as much work done as normal, but then I would go back to reading and it wouldn’t let me sleep. It was as if it had kidnapped me for a few hours against my will. The book I was reading was “Trading Up” by Candace Bushnell, and…
As you can tell, we didn’t float away this weekend. Thankfully, all we got from Hurricane Hanna was a lot of rain. Instead of the terrible storm I was expecting for the weekend, there were actually some good things that happened. Last year around this time, or maybe even closer to school starting back, G and I went to K-mart in search of cheap notebooks that were advertised on the radio. 10 cents each. That may not be very exciting to most people, but ever since I was little, I have had a secret obsession with school supplies and office…
All of the coastal counties in North Carolina are under Hurricane Watch/Tropical Storm Warning. Hurricane Hanna is supposed to hit the North Carolina overnight tonight, with possible winds here in Raleigh at 50 mph. They said on the news this morning that tornadoes are definitely the biggest threat, which scares me to death. Wind and rain I can handle, but a tornado is just scary. I guess I should go and get a gallon of water and some basic supplies today, just in case we lose power. The bad news is, Hurricane Ike looks like it might be headed this…
Last night I had a dream that I was in New York to meet with a publisher. People were talking to me about how to manage all of this money I had just made, and others were having me look at possible cover art for the book. It was all very exciting until I woke up. I am determined to work extra hard to make that a reality someday soon.
I am so excited that America’s Next Top Model starts tonight! This is the 11th Cycle, and I have seen every single episode of every other Cycle. It’s definitely a guilty pleasure, as it has no intellectual value, but I’m not going to apologize for loving it. Tonight is the 2 hour premiere episode where they introduce 30 or so semi-finalists and then put them through tests and interviews to choose the final 14. Of course, the CW already has the final group of finalists up on their website, along with videos and pictures, so if you want to be…
