Meetings

In the last 36 hours I have been to 5 hours worth of meetings. That is a much higher than average amount of meetings for me. And you want to know the thing that I have learned from all of these meetings? Nothing. That’s right. None of the issues that I went into the meetings [...]

Several Facts About Now

I haven’t done this in a while, but I’m going to give you a list of things that are going on right now. I don’t feel like going in depth about any one particular thing, but instead I’d like to touch the surface of a few things. – I go to California tomorrow. I’m visiting [...]

Tests Completed

So for everyone who was wondering, I passed all of my roller skating tests, which means that I am able to compete at Regionals, so that is exciting news. The tests went well, and it was fun to be judged and have a sense of validation of all of the work that I have been [...]

Happy New Year

Greetings all, and Happy New Year, almost. What is there to say about a year like 2009? If you’ve been following my letters, you know that for the first few years I tried to be as ridiculous as possible, mocking what seems to be the traditional end of year letter where people whine and moan [...]

Merry Boxing Day

I hope that everyone out there had a lovely Christmas. I certainly did. I got lots of lovely presents, and spent the whole day hanging out with my family and eating way too much food. So that seems like a pretty good day. This year, as opposed to previous years, I am writing a New [...]

Movies Make Me Nervous

I might be the only person in the world who suffers from this affliction, but movies make me horribly, horribly nervous and uneasy. It is so bad that I rarely watch movies because I know that most likely, it is going to be an unpleasant experience. And now, if you didn’t already, you probably think [...]

Randomness

- I’m going to South Carolina this weekend with Kelly for Matt’s wedding. We are both really looking forward to it. We are going to Louisville, Charleston, and Atlanta on an extended weekend road trip. And going to the South Carolina state fair. – Two weeks after I get back from that I’m going to [...]

Roller Skating Update

So I’ve kind of become a little obsessed with this whole roller skating thing. Kelly and I are taking two classes a week, and I’m thinking about going even more. Most importantly, it is actually good exercise, and I hadn’t really been getting any of that. With my condition, exercise is definitely something that I [...]

I’m Twisted

Now let me preface this by saying that I wouldn’t ever actually do this. Now, that having been said, I was at Schnucks today getting some food for lunch, and there was a sign up that said there was a mobile diabetes testing van coming by tomorrow to check blood sugar to determine if you [...]

Life

I know that I haven’t been posting on here. And I know I’ve made posts saying that. But honestly, lately, this hasn’t been the thing that is foremost on my mind lately. Now, I will say, I am doing much, much better than I was a month ago. I have to give a lot of [...]

Sorry

I haven’t been posting much lately. I know. I’ve been having some really pretty serious issues, and am doing my damnedest to hold it together. I’m just barely managing, so I haven’t thought to write on here. Once I get better, we’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming.

Dixie Celebration

As many of you know, this weekend was July 4th weekend. And what is the most American thing to do to celebrate our independence? Why shooting off fireworks, of course. Drunkenness can be included, if you so wish, but that greatly increases the chances of getting blown up by said fireworks. So being good American’s, [...]

Roller Skating Lessons

Kelly gets these ideas in her head. I’m not sure how it happens. Sometimes it involves horses. Sometimes dogs. And sometimes it involves taking roller skating lessons. Earlier this week she IMed me and asked me if I wanted to take roller skating lessons out at Rollercade in South County. And since I’m a sucker, [...]

Quitting That

I deactivated that “daily twitter” thing. It was pointless, and I apologize for bombarding you with all of that crap, which I’m pretty sure all of you already read elsewhere.
