Life has gone into overdrive. I’m loving it, but seriously…I’ve done so much in the last week! Let’s rewind, shall we?

Peeps in the Microwave!

April 4, 2010

Muahahaha. Peeps in the Microwave! My brother and I get such a kick out of this!
We used Katrina’s idea (in previous post’s comments) of putting toothpicks in the peeps so they can go to war with each other! Ours didn’t turn out perfect but it was still hilarious! Then we popped a third peep in [...]

The Amazing People in My Life

April 4, 2010

Last night I met up with two of my best friends from high school, Abby and Callyn. Abby moved to Atlanta last summer and was here visiting her family, and I hadn’t seen Callyn in awhile either.

Liquid Diet

March 26, 2010

Is it strange to only crave liquids when you’re stressed and grieving? The only thing I’ve wanted in the last week and a half is the Cherry Chocolate Bomb Shake, water, seltzer water and juice. I’ve had this every single morning:

Don’t worry, I am eating solid food but it feels more obligatory than anything right [...]

Full Circle

March 24, 2010

I thought this was interesting and wanted to share with you:
Ashley was just here to give me a hug and talk before I took her to the airport this afternoon. I actually begged to take her because I needed the distraction and need to practice leaving and coming back to a Harvey-less apartment. That action, [...]
