Lemons and Life

By Laurie

So, I turn 30 today. Well, I guess that I already DID turn 30. Okay, sweet. Anyway.. so I planned a little “thing” for myself today. It’s not really exciting, honestly, but I enjoyed it.
First, a little back story…
Thirty years ago, my parents were handed a newborn baby that apparently wasn’t [...]

February Blargh

By Laurie

I altered the theme for http://www.thallos.net ’cause… well.. I hated that banner. Totally redundant for me. So there.
Today is a severe down swing for me. I can’t pinpoint why exactly, but that’s that. Tried to occupy myself so I wouldn’t just go sleep it off and somewhat succeeded. It was [...]

Titles suck

By Laurie

It’s Saturday! Yay.
Bleh.
So, I got my Driver’s License on Monday of this week. Our DMV was closed, we found out, when we drove over.. Way to go Clarksville! Right on! Then we found out Springfield’s DMV was open. We go there instead. Once we found it, yep sure enough [...]

Even I’m skeptical..

By Laurie

However, I can finally say that I’ve confronted one of my worst fears ever.

Yes, I am THAT lame. But damnit - I’ll have my license next weekish. HEEE. Tests taken and passed with flying colors. Now to get ready for a horrid DL photo.

All this running around, well it’s getting me down
Just give me a pain that I’m used to
I don’t need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

Loathing it all

By Laurie

So, I’ve been moody this last week. Yeah, okay, so maybe the fact that all those kids died in VA makes me wonder about the world. Not that it’s worth wondering about, longterm. The world sucks, the asshats in it suck, and they’ll make it suck for everyone else.
Dean’s in California.
I’m here [...]

7 years ago…

By Laurie

I spent 13 hours in labor, albeit wonderfully drugged labor, and all I got was this lousy…
Bratface! :P
Well, the one on the right, anyway. Yay, I survived another birthday!

Scattered

By Laurie

Just random stuffs from the last couple of weeks.
Mom is working on selling her house(the house I grew up in before I moved to TN). Woo… Hoping that goes over well.
I applied for my passport! Yay, I’ll be able to leave the country if I ever wanted to! :P Still hoping to [...]

Habitual Hatred

By Laurie

So, lately, I’m reading Pinker’s new book on human nature and the human mind, The Blank Slate, and of course this gets me into Thinky Mode.
For a long time now I’ve been comfortable with the idea that I just plain hate people. You know, the droves of bodies that float across this world, mindlessly [...]

Not necessarily the news…

By Laurie

Attacked by a mysterious cold, I’ve been hangin’ low and resting a lot, lately. On the upside, my back is doing wonderfully! Since my new diagnosis 3 weeks ago(consisted of the last disc in my back being worn down slightly), my new treatment regiment, and my new desk chair, I feel quite good [...]

Layer Cake

By Laurie

No, not the movie.
It’s 5:45 am, and I can’t sleep. I woke up for whatever reason over an hour ago, and have been tossing since. Sucks.
*stops to apply chapstick, much better*
Maybe it was all the coffee I drank yesterday. So, like always when I can’t sleep, I got to thinking….which leads to [...]

Now, back to reality…

By Laurie

h00t.
It’s been a week now since I’ve had a mind-crushing headache, and I’ve only had a few smaller ones, otherwise. So, I’m back to business! My new goal for 2007: try to spend a whole month without being sick of some sort.
I go in for, supposedly, more X-Rays concerning my back today. [...]

Holidays, happenings, and holes

By Laurie

Christmas holiday is here. :(
That’s pretty much the best way to summarize how I feel about it. ” :( ” Hehe. We’re actually gonna like, send out Christmas cards this year. Shocking, that.
Our trip to Grand Rivers was nice. I had a really great time there. Just when I [...]

Weekend Fun

By Laurie

Egads, we’re getting out of the house?!
h00t!
Dean and I are heading up to Kentucky today to go to Patti’s, for our anniversary(six years, yay!). I’ve always wanted to visit that part of the state, anyway. We managed to get lost on our trip back from Missouri and missed out on the Lakes area. [...]

High Level Hypocrisy

By Laurie

I’m not one of those people who spends hours reading a newspaper, watching the news, or tuning into MSNBC videos. However, I do give The News a good glance or two each day, to stay abreast of certain situations if and when my opinion is ever called up on. It’s nice to be [...]
