A couple weeks ago, I got a text from one of my roommates asking me if I was cool with him getting a dog. Of course, I'm cool with him getting a dog. As long as I'm not the one that has to be responsible for him. Fine by me. I feel like, most days, … Continue reading The Story of Duchess

Did I Mention I Moved?
Kids, it occurs to me that, since I've come back from my self-imposed blogging hiatus, I have not shared the details of my recent move. Seems like that would be an important topic to blog about, seeing as how I used the move as an excuse to put off my return to blogging. Even though, … Continue reading Did I Mention I Moved?
Ideas
Kids... Sometimes, my heart just isn't in it. I was sitting here. And that's all I was doing. Sitting... My laptop is open. It's on my lap. My hands have been resting on the keyboard. I've been staring at the empty page, thinking about what I want to blog about. And I got nothing. I … Continue reading Ideas
My Three Dream Homes
It might be safe to say that everyone, at some point in their lives, has had a dream home. It's that house that, for whatever reason, stands out in our minds as the perfect combination of walls, floors, ceilings, and roof. For some, it could be an apartment in a bustling city. For others, it … Continue reading My Three Dream Homes

Remember how I talked about my upcoming trip to Istanbul? Well, I'm flying out this Sunday. As … Continue reading Time for a Break
No, I Didn’t Go See Fireworks Tonight
To all of my fellow Americans, happy Independence Day! If fireworks are your thing, I hope you are having a lovely evening watching all those explosions in the sky. Personally, I'm just as content sitting at home reading or watching a movie or obsessing over the Big Brother live feeds. It's not that I actively … Continue reading No, I Didn’t Go See Fireworks Tonight
Hard Hat Convention
Driving home around lunchtime yesterday, I came across a sign letting me know that someone was doing some utility work up the road. It wasn't long before I saw where the work was taking place. Except, at first, I didn't see anyone doing any work. I just saw roughly 15 people in hard hats leaning … Continue reading Hard Hat Convention
Not a Sentimental Bone
A couple months back, I got a call from my mom letting me know that she had come across a couple of boxes full of old keepsakes that clearly belonged to me. Several years ago, I let her know that, as a rule, if I don't know about it, then I won't miss it. But … Continue reading Not a Sentimental Bone
Summertime Jaywalking
During the school year, you just get used to jaywalkers in Blacksburg. That's because, during the school year, there are tons of students who cross streets without looking to see if cars are coming. Drivers are just expected to not hit them, whether they're in a crosswalk or not. Actually, drivers are conditioned to constantly … Continue reading Summertime Jaywalking
