Sunday, February 05, 2006. Accidents vs. Sheer Stupidity. I’m back. I’ve been lusting for this moment for the past two months not knowing how hard it would be. I slept for an hour last night. I laid down for an hour and a half, but my first bit of sleep, my mind worked feverishly and my eyes never closed. I got up restructured my paper, had a bowl of Special K, and went back to bed with one blanket and all the lights on. I woke up an hour later wet with sweat and with sore eyes. First, an explanation.

Reflections on my life's journey as a husband, father, educator, and a human. Monday, July 31, 2006. Yesterday, we went to an upstart. In Charlotte. I'd call it a church, but wouldn't that poison your mind with preconception from the start? Well, part of the teaching yesterday was about that very fact. The Church brings with it connotations- and most of the time those are not all that warm and fuzzy. So If those mentioned above are not the enemy, and the enemy is clearly defined. well then? The Book expl...

The girl next door is a superhero. Just a white girl from the suburbs trying to save the world. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Made in the shade. I wish i got to go to hilton head with dominic and mr. yuke. here they are kicking back some cold ones after playing with yegos on the beach. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. The story of a wedding weekend as told through grandmother's snarky comments. Your hair looks like crap! When is going to go back to normal? Other people have to eat too you know. Bring me more champagne!

The girl next door is a superhero. Just a white girl from the suburbs trying to save the world. Thursday, October 26, 2006. I love those silly online survey/games just as much as anyone. but sometimes they sort of freak me out a little. anyone who knows me will be able to pick out exactly what i'm talking about. take a look. Your Superhero Name is The Golden Maximus. Your Superpower is Mind Reading. Your Weakness is Confrontation. Your Weapon is A Fairy Wand. Your Mode of Transportation is A Clown Car.

Thursday, December 22, 2005. I suppose I must be packing to warrant a break from packing. We’ll call this part of my routine, which is as follows: pack two sweaters, go to the kitchen for a glass of water, walk back to my room, throw 3 shoes into a bag, hunt for the fourth, check my email, find the fourth, lose the bag. I want to pack less, but my fashion compassion refuses to yield. The sexy, knee-high boots that hide under my jeans. The little black dress that has only sees my bedroom mirror. I got the...

Thursday, September 29, 2005. This week, I decided to stop being such a pansy. (Not that there's anything wrong with being a pansy. Some of my best friends are pansies! Take notes, avoid eye contact, and look pensive. But if there's one thing I fear more than giving a paper in front of the faculty, it's attempting casual conversation with them. And there was a reception that evening. We walked the perimeter of the house before settling on the front door. (We were stalling? I got to the gym an hour early ...

Monday, June 26, 2006. Saying Goodbye to Neil. My father’s tone remains the same when he’s trying to tell me a joke and when he’s delivering bad news. (And his voice doesn't show sadness - only his pauses.) That’s how he told me about Neil with no forewarning. I had called home on my way out to meet my friend Lauren at Andrew’s downtown. We just got a call from Chuck who was with Neil in. Last weekend. He said Neil. He had the run of the house, and spent many late nights in kitchen talks with the family.

Saturday, May 27, 2006. A Plethora of Updates. I still haven’t learned to budget for the perks of being an unmarried twenty-something-er. Weddings, travel, entertaining, traveling to be entertained, travel attire, wedding gifts, shower gifts, baby gifts, birthday gifts, "just because" giftsbut it’s worth it. The bridesmaid's luncheon, rehearsal, and rehearsal dinner were beautiful. I got a pedicure from a loquacious little pedicurist at the Greek-inspired salon two doors. A few more updates are in order:.
