A holiday malady

Posted on December 27, 2007 by Shannon

Most people say they can’t button their pants after the holidays. I had the opposite problem this year. The bulk of our Christmas Marathon ran from Saturday through Tuesday, and exactly from Saturday to Tuesday my stomach was having problems, … Continue reading →

A risqué Christmas list

Posted on December 21, 2007 by Shannon

On my wishlist, I have a few books and magazines that are related to feminism. Well holy hell you’d think that was some kind of dirty word! First my dad, who isn’t usually like this, said “Full Frontal Feminism? Bust … Continue reading →

Posted on December 17, 2007 by Shannon

Last year during the holidays, we had numerous parties to attend and much driving back and forth to do between our two hometowns. This year it’s looking much the same, only I don’t get nearly as much time off work, … Continue reading →

Posted on December 16, 2007 by Shannon

Awhile ago, back when I was in danger of being jobless and homeless, I thought about starting an Etsy shop to try to sell some of my crafts, namely my custom hand-stitched embroidery. Soon after I added some items, I … Continue reading →

Still chuggin’ along

Posted on December 13, 2007 by Shannon

Last night I went to my last class this semester. I turned in my big ol’ research paper, sat through some chatter, and was home in time for America’s Next Top Model. That was the first time I’ve watched the airing on … Continue reading →

Happy day recap

Posted on December 12, 2007 by Shannon

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget to show off my present from Brad. I had to get the pictures off my camera first, and sometimes I put that off for weeks! So here it is: Need a closer look? It’s a picture … Continue reading →

Doctuh, Doctuh!

Posted on December 10, 2007 by Shannon

Friday I had my doctor appointment. I didn’t find out anything useful about my headaches because “headaches can be caused by so many different things” and it’s hard to even know what’s causing them or how to make them stop. She … Continue reading →

Grammar lesson

Posted on December 9, 2007 by Shannon

In Wednesday’s class, our professor had to give a little lesson on English grammar. She actually had to teach people, in preparation for writing our final papers, how to properly use apostrophes. As in, it’s not 1970′s, it’s 1970s. Not … Continue reading →

Yep it’s my birthday. So far I’ve watched two episodes of Gilmore Girls, sat around in my pajamas, and opened a really cool present from Brad (pictures coming soon). We’re getting ready to head out to one of my favorite … Continue reading →

I still have the mal in my tête

Posted on December 6, 2007 by Shannon

I never thought of the funny story, so I guess that’s a lost opportunity. But I feel like complaining today anyway because I’m getting a little concerned about something. For the last two weeks, I’ve basically had a headache every … Continue reading →

Running out the door

Posted on December 5, 2007 by Shannon

Oh no! I had this whole funny story I was planning to write about today, and now that I’m writing I can’t remember what it was. Plus I’m getting ready to run home to change clothes and swallow some dinner, … Continue reading →

Putting it to rest

Posted on December 3, 2007 by Shannon

Before it becomes irrelevant, here’s how I felt about nablopomo this year: It felt different than last year. I guess I think nablopomo has gotten so much bigger this time around that it actually feels less social. Last year I found so … Continue reading →

A little much

Posted on November 30, 2007 by Shannon

I have all these thoughts about NaBloPoMo that I’m trying to write, and I figured this, the last day, would be a good time to finish writing those thoughts and share them. But today is just too crazy. Soon I have to … Continue reading →

Which are you today?

Posted on November 29, 2007 by Shannon

Allow me to demonstrate, using anecdotes from my lunch at Quiznos, the difference between nice people who make the world a better place and assholes who make me want to hurt them. I encountered two very different people at lunch today. … Continue reading →
