I used to love rings. I couldn’t get enough of them. When my mom took me to the mall when I was young, I loved going into the Friendship Station, which was Solano Mall’s equivalent to a Hello Kitty store and I used to always eyeball the rings by the register because those were the…
I am again attempting to get my house settled. It’s still a very slow process. But I’m trying to get on board with this whole house thing. Especially because it’s really the only thing that isn’t way awesome about living in the boot. I love everything else– the people, the food, the daily life. But…
The scene: KK calls Colleen back CL: Hi dude. What are you doing? KK: Um, Adam and I just went over our ballots and discussed all the issues and made our decisions so we’re ready to vote tomorrow. What are you doing? CL: Ripping all my Debbie Gibson CDs to iTunes. Yep, that’s almost as…

KA hit the nail on the head. This is why I heart her: she and I agree on this sorta thing and feel the need to blog about it. And because she scrapbooks. Yes, I verb-ed my hobby: to scrapbook. Halloween Costumes 101 For the record, I’m dressing up as a gangster. Because they wear…
I think it’s safe to say that I have a very strong aversion to my new place. I haven’t really unpacked a lot of things in hopes that I will magically wake up and love my new apartment and want to enjoy the newness that comes with the unpacking. So far, no luck. We all…
