Goodbye, July
My parents are blasting instrumental Christmas music from the living room so that the whole house can hear. Right now it’s “God rest ye merry gentlemen.”

“They were all raised by the two same amazing parents, in the same amazing borough (Queens!!), however they are all incredibly unique. These profiles are to give one a glimse into the life of a girl growing up with five great guys.”

Hey! I wrote this video based on an article from a while back. Mike Parker did the animation and voices and, in my opinion, did a fantastic job.

November is going to be a good month; I can feel it.
Funny, I JUST watched this on youtube a moment ago because I’m currently in the middle of a Harry Potter movie marathon (the Prisoner of Azkaban is on pause). I actually have only read the first book, so I should probably get on that, especially because the Half Blood Prince...

“There are many different ways of owning little kids.”
-Nio, (in context) talking about the boot camp for Coast Guard he’s running; “kids” referring to the noobs, or newbies, to the Academy. Don’t forget what an E7 is or you’ll be doing wall squats for 15 minutes holding out the book w/ the page turned to the answer using both arms.

Apprently I am the girl who walks into a group interview wearing shorts, a tank top and a bedhead ponytail and walks out w/ a new job. Sick (not in a good way).
In my defense, I didn’t know there was going to be an actual interview. I came in last week, asked if they were hiring, and they told me I could fill out an application Sunday morning at 10. It might have been nice if I was told...

I was just listening to the sunscreen song on the way to work. Turns out, it was originally a column written by journalist Mary Schmich for the Chicago Tribune in June of ‘97. It is probably one of the wittiest and inspiring articles I have read (and been rocking out to-thanks Baz Luhrmann). It is advice I really try to heed. The italisized line inspired me to think I was crazy enough to...

meaghan: oooh that's good. and you know what would make it sound more christian? saying "may THE LORD bless your marriage..."
me: so true
