Awkward: My habit of over-sharing stories from my life that don't make sense to people who were not there. I was having a pretty serious attack of this habit last night. Sorry to all my victims. Being in a room with two people who have very distinct personalities who are having an argument and not … Continue reading a&a – round two

Awkward & Awesome Thursday
It was brought to my attention by Becca Barclay that there is a day called "Awkward and Awesome Thursday." Started over at The DayBook, it's essentially a post highlighting both the awkward and awesome moments that happened to you during the week. Awkward...: When I was home alone, and I burnt my hand while making … Continue reading Awkward & Awesome Thursday
One Year and a New Car
I know, I know. Many of you are wishing that the title was "One Year and a Baby on the Way" (ah hem, Katie Krouchick, Sarah Doyle, Elise Kulik) but we did get a new car! And that's exciting. Not nearly as exciting or loveable as a baby. But still exciting, right? This new (used) little gem … Continue reading One Year and a New Car
Wow! Ashlie Actually Put Up a Post!
I’ve been meaning to write an update for a while. A combination of laziness and actually having a life have prevented me from doing so. To my few dedicated followers, my apologies. I’ll do my best to make this a semi-entertaining update for you. Since my last real update, I’ve finished school (for the semester), … Continue reading Wow! Ashlie Actually Put Up a Post!
Apologies
Hello Readers and Procrastinators (Yes, I am talking to you Kait Radigan), I have been wanting to write a post on Oregon/Georgia/Samuel's baptism/seeing my rockstar (engineering nerd) husband...but I started work at Saint Michael's and JUST signed up for an online class - Anthropology 171. Essentially I am, as they say, getting an "intellectual butt … Continue reading Apologies
Um, Remember That One Time I Said I Don’t Know How to Pump Gas?
On April 20th I wrote post in which I informed my readers that I had only used half a tank of gas since Josh left, and that I was hoping that the second half would last me until Josh got home....because I don't know how to pump gas. It's illegal to pump your own gas … Continue reading Um, Remember That One Time I Said I Don’t Know How to Pump Gas?
Surprise!
I'm going to Oregon again. Yep. I have the best family ever. They're flying me home for two weeks after finals are done because 1. Josh isn't home and 2. I don't start work until June 1st. So, in preparation of my (once again) journey to the homeland, I've been reading up one some "You … Continue reading Surprise!
I Should Be Writing An Essay
But writing a blog post is so much more fun. So, like I've said, I'm camping out at Becca's for the duration of Josh's training. Which is awesome for multiple reasons. 1. It's normal to have gin and tonics at 10 PM on a Thursday with a friend. It's concerning if you're by yourself, in … Continue reading I Should Be Writing An Essay
Because I Miss You
That's my husband. He would probably prefer this picture: But I like the first one.
I realize…
that all of a sudden it's mid April and I have neglected any sort of writing for fun. Probably because my brain has been sucked dry by the exciting literature and essays I've been hanging out with for the last 8 months. I decided to do a 7 quick takes in order to try and … Continue reading I realize…
