hi again...

its been a year and a half
since i've written on this blog.
i'm not even sure this will post...

and even if it does
i'm not sure anyone is still around to read it.

but just in case, here are a few little things
i've realized in our time away from each other...

1. life is funny. and terrible. and ridiculous. and lovely. and surprising. and i only wish it didn't have to go by so fast.

2. i still love lower case letters

3. Six Feet Under is officially the best show ever. period.

4. guys in general are just way too handsy. (Lay off guys. Seriously.)

5. people who make me laugh are my favorite of favorite people.

6. Apples to Apples is the awesomest game ever (besides the card game Idiot).

7. the average lifespan of a huge bag of baked cheetos in my apartment: 3 days

8. The only thing (and i mean the only thing) i like about chicago in the wintertime are the warm and toasty drinks.

9. i still love jimmy eat world more than just about anything...(and thank God they are coming to town soon!!!!)

10. sometimes all a girl needs is a nice bottle of pinot grigio and a little "Sex and the City" and somehow everything feels better again.

Back in Tennessee

Here is what I have been up to since I arrived:

relaxing, eating too many helpings of Jay Anne's famous cheesy potatoes, purchasing new flip flops, drinking blue moons with fresh orange slices, walking in the grass with no shoes, working out on an actual bow flex (remember those? Yeah, my family still has one), missing my brothers- they are all oversees right now, and of course laughing about the fact that every single time I visit I get some sort of awkward comment from "The Uncle." (This time, a few of us were out at dinner and our granddad said to Kristyn (my youngest sister) and I, "Well you two are just gettin' prettier and prettier every time I see you," to which our Uncle replied, with that little look in his eye as if he were about to lick his lips, "Yeah, we've got two major hotties over here don't we?" Nothing like your Uncle thinking you're a hottie...)

So I'm sitting on the train...

...going downtown, when I look up to see a sign that says: The Meth Addict in your life doesn't think he has a problem. What do you think?

I'll tell you what I think. I think, What the hell kind of train am I on? Who is actually reading this and thinking, "Hmmmm, maybe T-Dog really does do too much meth." Is this add really aimed for the majority of the people on my train, because if so, I want off.

Dear Monday,

I don't appreciate you sneaking up on me like this. I was having a really good weekend, for the most part, and, well you just haven't learned any manners yet, have you? It's not polite to sneak. At least bring me some doughnuts and milk. Something!

I was watching a show on my lap top tonight and since the sound that comes out of it is only loud enough for a mouse to hear, I had in my earphones.

Then about an hour after the show had ended, I realized I still had the earphones in- even though I hadn't been listening to anything...for an hour..I was just checking my email and random things that don't require any listening capability, and yet there I was...with headphones on...like an idiot. And what makes this story even more sad, is that this is the second time I have done this.
