I woke up to reality

Posted on January 13, 2010 by Shannon

Last night I had a dream that Brad, my ex-boyfriend, was breaking up with me all over again. It was a wretched feeling, and I remember feeling this overwhelming dread that I was going to have to go through it … Continue reading →

Taking my bow

Posted on December 21, 2009 by Shannon

I’ve been reading Kirtsy for awhile now. It’s a good way to see what’s new and interesting on the internet. So a long time ago (I’m not sure how long anymore…), when the editors announced they were creating a book … Continue reading →

This is Part 3 (and the final part) of my little retrospective. Now all my unpublished posts from that time are out there, and I’m so done with it! This one is slightly more upbeat than Part 1 or Part … Continue reading →

Retrospective, Part 2

Posted on January 14, 2009 by Shannon

Retrospective, Part 1

Posted on January 13, 2009 by Shannon

It was almost six months ago that my relationship with Brad ended. I am still amazed at how far I’ve come and how differently I feel now compared to those awful dark months. While I was living it, those six … Continue reading →

It’s been one hell of a year. But in the end, I have to say, a really good year. One glaringly significant event stands out, but looking beyond that I have some pretty good memories from 2008. I visited Minneapolis, … Continue reading →

Just bewildered

Posted on November 25, 2008 by Shannon

Apparently you guys didn’t find my “friend in common” thing very strange. Which, I guess in this small world it’s really not that weird. And really, it’s not so much the coincidence that I find so odd, it’s the way … Continue reading →

Mixed-up match

Cleanliness is next to boringness

Posted on November 14, 2008 by Shannon

I hate cleaning. My mom and two of my sisters are clean freaks—their houses are always spotless. I, however, am from a different school of thought. If it looks relatively decent, it’s clean enough. That means I only occasionally dust … Continue reading →
