Cinnamon. As much as I pride myself on my attention to grammar, spelling and syntax, the word cinnamon frequently slips away from me. I’ll always spell it cinammon for some reason. It drives me nuts, but no matter how many times I write the word, I always have to run a spellcheck [...]
I sit here, munching on Baked! Cheetos.
. . .
There is a God!
I once gave up Cheetos for a year. 2000, to be precise. I think that was the longest year of my life.
It’s been difficult to put together a post for the past few days. I know not of what to speak (well, save Yoda-speak); while plenty of issues cloud my brain, none of them seem worthy of a journal entry. Or, at least, nothing that I’ve put together enough to merit an entry. [...]
I swear that, when I get sick in the future, I will not complain about it as much. I usually don’t complain because usually my colds are piddly little things, trifles. I never miss a step even though I might be sniffling. However, this one caused two missed running days, two hours [...]
A hearty happy birthday to my little brother M. He turns 15 today. Has it really been 15 years since I was jumping up and down, all excited because my kid sibling was about to be born? I remember being sent out to get diapers and baby wipes as my mom was [...]
The cake you usually bake to perfection proceeds to fall apart right before your eyes. You don’t freak out, however, like you’ve done in the past. Instead, you shrug and paste it back together with the help of cream cheese frosting.
I am not myself.
Seriously. Who on my road is so goddamn immature that they have to steal one of my Kerry/Edwards lawn signs overnight? If they’re so politically motivated and want to make a statement, why not try to do it while I’m sitting right next to the damn thing?
Because either they’re wimps or they’re kids. [...]
Dear body:
Hello, body! How are you?
I’m writing this because I feel there’s been a rift between you and me, body dear. I feel as if I might’ve done something to offend you. Namely, telling the world entire that I can tell you what to do.
I understand that you might not be appreciative [...]
First of all, let me say that this crap, Tylenol Nighttime Severe Cold and Flu, does not work. I took it at 9:37pm; by 11:30am, I was wide awake with a raging sore throat. Stick to Nyquil. There’s a reason why it’s the nighttime sniffling, sneezing, aching, stuffy head, fever, sleep better to feel better [...]
I feel a cold coming on – ugh. At least it’s happening now as opposed to later.
So what am I doing? Attacking the damn thing before it gets the best of me. I’m drinking orange juice, sucking on cough drops and telling myself to fight it. I’ve always been weird in [...]
