It NEVER stops being funny. I laugh every single time, no matter how hard I try not to. I love this girl.

I check this blog everyday and was surprised to see this pic of my sister's cat Allie and dog Jackie. I sent it in awhile ago and had forgotten.


Click for cuteness!

You're right, Ryan Adams. I do. Thanks for the reminder.

I've had this problem since I left my hometown and moved downstate over 8 years ago: making friends. Not even attending college provided me with lasting friendships. Yes, there were people I hung out with. We had great times, did lots of things...but where are they now? They just kind of faded away as we all graduated at separate times, despite any efforts made to stay in touch.

I currently find myself with plenty...

Just in case anybody needed a reminder of how important it is, here is a visual from yesterday.

Me, before the Michigan game:

Pretty obvious that I wore a hat, sunglasses, and a necklace, eh?

Not only is it painful, but...

Our shed from Tuff Shed came today!!!!!!!! My dad and Ernie worked so hard to prepare the site for the shed. I am so excited. It will be awesome to have a place to store things like the lawn mower and the generator. It will free up space in the house.

We had an absolutely gorgeous sunrise this morning. Pictures I take never seem to truly capture how stunning they are. I had to at least step out onto the front porch and make an attempt anyway though.

My guitar teacher calls me Karen. I was too shy to correct him when he first made the mistake. He has called me Karen for weeks. I should have corrected him right away, but it's too late now. I'm shy at the stupidest times, and I feel like an idiot.

My parents visited last weekend. Dad helped Ernie work in the yard and prepare a spot for our shed, which is arriving Thursday. Ernie had a co-worker help him dig holes for fence posts and put them in. They are actually finishing that up...

My newest doll:



She gets to chill in the computer room for awhile before she joins the others downstairs on the table. I took some new pics of the table, since it's been awhile.

Ernie and I will soon have a fenced in back yard and a shed. I don't think people fully realize how major this is. We have no garage, no outside storage of any kind right now. Do you know where that means things like our generator and lawn mower stay? *turns around and looks behind me* Yeah...they are in the computer room. Yikes. At least we have the basement for things like shovels and stuff, but having a shed is going to be a dream. Also, a fenced in yard will mean just opening the door and letting...

I usually do the cooking, except on Sunday mornings. Either Ernie makes a big breakfast, or we go out to the diner. For a change of pace, I offered to make pancakes. Although I have eaten many pancakes, I've never made them myself, not even from a mix. I had found a recipe that sounded good though, so I gave it a whirl. I had sort of a rocky and slightly messy start, but Ernie helped me get into the swing of things, and the pancakes got better as I went along. They were really good! I still...

I just clicked onto this from MSN's homepage. I feel like giving my two cents.

It appears that Jasper is getting along well with Simon. After being together for 8 days, I discovered that they had laid eggs! They are currently eating the eggs...which is funny, as they are being so protective of them and chasing off the other fish that dare come near them. I guess if anybody is going to eat their babies, it's them.

I really wasn't expecting my fish to breed, and I really don't think I have the time to get involved in raising baby fish...but...

Here is Simon!



I think he is a gold angel. Here is the story of how he ended up with me:

I went to the fish store Wednesday night. After Jerry died suddenly on Monday morning, Jasper was behaving in a way that made it obvious he was lonely, so I wanted to get him a new friend. I was planning on getting another marble angel, like Jasper. Unfortunately, all of the marble angels...

As the title says, my angelfish Jerry died. It was completely out of the blue, he looked fine and had been acting perfectly normal.

Once I got downstairs this morning, I took the dogs out and turned on the aquarium light. Jerry and Jasper (the other angelfish) immediately zoomed up to the top, knowing that they were about to be fed. They ate like pigs and then continued cruising around the tank together, same as always.

I made and packed Ernie's lunch and then sat...
