Blah.
I can tell today is already going to be the day from hell, and it’s only coming up on 10:30. The obvious indicator of it should have been when the phone started ringing more often for my way too soon to be sister-in-law than for anyone who actually lives here. … Read the rest

The 2006 Santa Clause parade.
As we do every year, a good portion of my family–that being a couple of my aunts, a few cousins, my mom, me, and now my future sister-in-law–took in the traditional Pembroke parade tonight, the first time in a long time they actually held the parade in the evening. Not … Read the rest

It was a loss, but still the best part of the afore mentioned party.
They shouldn’t have lost, but that aside, it was still better than sitting in the kitchen while the women (there were, after all, mostly women there) all talked about things I really didn’t want to hear about. We’re going to ignore the 2 empty net goals at the end of … Read the rest

Essays on blindness, and other random things.
It’s bloody amazing the things a person can find out when they’re not actually doing the work. A friend of mine (that’s how you shall be referred to on here ’til you tell me whether or not I can use your actual name, hun, sorry) was doing an essay for … Read the rest

This family just keeps on growing…
Another sign things are starting to pick up, and in an aweful damn hurry at that. My brother’s fiance, who’s actually currently sitting in our kitchen as I write this, is now… well, rather pregnant. She just found out a couple days ago, apparently. Ironicly, this two weeks after they … Read the rest

That was too easy.
I’ve mentioned before I need furniture for the apartment. There isn’t anyone in my family who isn’t aware of that. I mean, they’ve all seen my stuff. I can fill a bedroom just fine, but… heh, I’ve never had my own place before, so filling the rest of it will … Read the rest

Now that’s progress.
And I should so be in bed by now, but I’m just… well, sleep isn’t happening any time soon. And no, it’s not because of the half empty can of coke sitting to my left. Although I suspect that probably won’t exactly serve to be a sleep aid. So what … Read the rest

I remember.
Ordinarily, I don’t really pay much mind to the whole rememberence day thing. I mean, I know its importance and everything, but I suppose until recently, it just… never really made much of a difference from where I sat. So what’s changed? Well, before, the only people I might possibly … Read the rest

And tomorrow starts another’s trek to soldierdom.
Well, that day has come. My parents will have dropped my brother off by now, and are on their way back home. And this house is going to be an aweful lot quieter for the next week or two. And then, a hell of a lot quieter after that as … Read the rest

The next time I decide to eat that much, shoot me.
We went out for dinner tonight, to sorta cellebrate my Dad’s birthday and the fact my brother will, in 2 days, be starting his basic training (yay!). And, from about the time the meal was finished to, like… now, I swear if I had anything more to eat I’d explode. … Read the rest
