Okay...so I got out of the shower this morning and noticed the saddest thing ever on the back of my right thigh. I have a cellulite dimple!! aHHH!! I'm only 23 how in the hell is this happening to me? I'm 5`2 and weigh about 125...so i'm not exactly a waif, but i'm definatley not overweight, either, so I have no idea where this is coming from. My roomate says once you hit your early mid twenties funny things start happening like things start to sag and droop. So ladies, I need your help.....

before you read this post, know that two past generations of my family have fought their patriotic hearts out to serve this country and I am thankful for their gratitude and dedication to the armed forces. My fiance comes from a military background as well......his father served during the war with Korea. My friend (and florist for the wedding) Sarah decided to introduce my roomate and myself to her new main squeeze. His name is BJ and he said that he is enlisted in the Marines. As...

As I was exiting school today, I noticed that I had a flat tire...I thought to myself, "No big deal, I can be on the road in 20 minutes." Boy was I wrong.... So I attached the jack to my car and lifted it, and as I went to take the lugnuts off of the wheel, I realized that they had rusted on. Being the petite flower that I am, I was unable to make the lugnuts budge. Many other teachers saw me going at this tire (which I'm sure looked humorous) but not one person offered to help. When i...

A day in my life... The alarm rings at 6 a.m. "Dammit," I curse to myself. "I don't want to go to school." I feel like I'm taken back to the 6th grade begging my mother to let me stay home so I didn't have to deal with the bullshit of getting picked on for being short, fat, full of zits..if you know anything about middle schoolers the list goes on and on, but I am no longer 11. Now I'm 23. I am the one on the other side. Yep. The one instructing the little shits how to be more edumac...

Hey everyone...long time no blog. Anyways, things are going pretty well. We just got back from our honeymoon on the outter banks where the tempurature was 70 degrees every day. Now we're back in NY where the temperature is lucky to be above 20. Actually, I'm back and Hardin just left on a gig with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. He has to play a party for the innoguration (sp?).....hey....even though it's supporting the W, atleast he's making money, right? Anyways, I'm pretty excited be...

It seems like lately a lot of people on here have been in a funk, which is very understandable. I just want to do something that will make everyone smile just for a couple seconds today. I want everyone to think of a list of five positive things about themselves and list one funny story. Here's mine: 1) I'm very generous 2) I am a loyal friend 3) I am nuts around the right people 4) I am smart 5) I am unique Here's my funny story: While I was student teaching I had to do ...

Ok...I must admit. I am in looooove with the reality show America's Next Top Model. It's not cheap or trashy, actually i think Tyra Banks has done a bang up job on this show. 14 finalists are chosen to compete to win a contract with the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency. Like survivor or The Amazing Race (guilty pleasure #2), a contestant is booted off each week based on the performance of each wannabe model. This show really teaches the girls a lot about model ediquette and the world of ...

1) Independence is bitter sweet--5 1/2 years ago when I started college I was so excited to finally be on my own. I remember after I unpacked my Mom's car literally kicking her out of my new dorm room. Two days later I was in tears bawling how I wanted to come home. Eventually you hit that low point and now you have something to work with. Each year the apron string was cut further and further back and now i've been supporting myself for the past three years....I'm practically a grown up...

Most of my life I have been that one in the corner, the abstract thinker, the eccentric, and the last one to get picked on the team. I am shy, backwards and twitchy. Yes my friends, I am awkward. It all started in the fourth grade when my family moved to another school in the district. I was the token new kid that year and for some reason everyone was afraid of me. I was all of 4 foot nothing and a tad on the chubby side, what in the heck was there to be afraid of? It seemed like the ...
