Current status: fulfilled

More than at any other time in my life, I’m living in the right now.
I am happy with things, maybe that’s why.
My new job is excruciatingly busy. I do a lot of work every day. I was just trying to explain to Jeff just how much work I do every day and I couldn’t even [...]

Back to good

As I reflect on the past couple months of my life, it’s weird to think about how quickly things just go back to normal.
We’re drinking coffee this morning from the couch, while Jeff plays video games and I catch up on blogs from my much-too-busy week. There is no way to stay on top of [...]

Day 1

It’s funny how just one day takes me right back to where I left off all those weeks ago the night before I lost my job – a place where life was safe and secure.
I met Jeff in the driveway after work this evening with my dog’s leash in hand. We futzed to throw dinner [...]

Before I met you…

…rocked out at a Widespread Panic, Bob Dylan or a Waterfest show.

…slept with my back to the door, which is a [...]

26

Our parents got along swimmingly, which was probably the most perfect way to bring in 26. I am truly blessed to have so many that love me.
I can’t quite put into words what it meant to me to spend my birthday – a hard birthday, for some reason – surrounded by people I love. By [...]

Birthday week

I celebrated my 22nd birthday just a little more than one month after Jeff and I met.
When I got home from my night shift at the paper he handed me a huge moving size box. It was light, but filled. With Chex Mix. Every kind I could think of.
I thought it was absolutely cute that [...]

Copy cat

I can’t…
Change my own flat tire. Drink coffee without cream and sugar. Exist without coffee. Stay mad at my dog for more than 42 seconds. Resist drinking all the juice out of those lemon shaped things filled with lemon juice. Live without water, Jeff or chapstick.
I can..
Drive a stick shift car. Eat an entire frozen [...]

The last 48 hours

I’ve wished all the appropriate dads in my life a happy day.
I sang “Short Dick Man” out loud. Including the stuttery part. You know, “don’t, don’t, don’t…”
A close friend of ours became a father.
I went to sleep before the sunset after spending the day at the beach.
I got the first sunburn of the year. And [...]

Love, Your beagle, Jack.
