Not a whole lot happened today. It was another very rainy day, with parts of town flooding, as they do. Hooray, coastal towns! And it's astronomical high tide, so the harbor/downtown gets its sha...

---

I'm finally diving into a book I've been holding onto for a long time: The Fall of Yugoslavia, by Misha Glenny. I zipped through his epic, comprehensive The Balkans and picked this one up immedia...

---

"Dear diary," I said as we finally walked down the stairs to the parking lot, "slash-Penthouse, tonight we were watching How I Met Your Mother. It was the ducky tie episode. I whispered to him th...

---

This warrants its own entry. I can't access the website and when my Discover loan called me (NOW WHAT DO YOU FUCKING WANT), I answered, so the automated voice put me on hold. Fuck you too. But i...

---

Ah, adventures in a new city. And by that, I mean it takes me forever to get anywhere. Part of it is just because I'm readjusting to a city wherein people actually live and there is traffic at al...

---

It's all done. Utilities fully switched, cable installed, everything unpacked but for the things that require better infrastructure (like an opening closet door or organizers), address change sub...

---

So. Here I am. I’m mostly moved in. All my stuff is here, unloaded by a crew of four likely former football players in an hour for $200 (well-spent). My room is almost done; my clothes and bed a...

---

Am (f)unemployed. Moving in progress.

---

Oh, where to start. Let's go thematically, rather than chronologically. exercise I have not been exercising, and barely watching my diet in the loosest sense of the meaning (oh yes that is food...

---

These are not my proudest moments, but they will be recorded for the sake of an honest record. Saturday was spent lethargic on the couch. I ate food. It gurgled. My tonsil ached. I Benadryl'd ov...

---

Today, I handed in my two weeks notice. It was full of emotion, regret and apology and stiff upper lips on behalf of the menfolk (OH GOD OLDER MEN BEING EMOTIONAL HELP CANNOT DEAL) and I'm glad...

---

Three Days Grace's Painkiller is my concert methadone. I want a concert baaad. Fortunately, there's the AFI/Linkin Park/30 Seconds to Mars show next month. ALL. THE. FIRE. Anyway, this entry is ...

---

The last 24 hours have included two lingering sinus headaches that flirted with migraine status, and coincidentally, the revelations that A) I'm getting married in EIGHT MONTHS and B) I'M MOVING ...

---

We successfully rode out a Category 2 hurricane on the Outer Banks, including the damn eye wall. There was a party with booze, themed music, and card games. It was noisy. I prayed a lot and press...

---

So, uh, we're getting hit by a hurricane right now. Category 2, 100 mph. In a beach house on a barrier island. This is not the smartest thing I've ever done, but metrics and local authorities sug...

---

As a quick interim update- I'm here. It took 7.5 hours instead of the predicted 6.5. The last hour came in directionless, signless swampland and we started going a little nuts and road ragey, b...

---

Today was just astoundingly stupid. It started with the three work orders below and didn't get any better. OUR SINK IN THE KITCHEN CAN NOT PASS THE WATER WELL AND IT WILL REMAINING THE WATER IN ...

---

I've been on a Britney Spears kick. I'm not sorry. The cheat day was delicious, gross, and pricier than anticipated, but totally worth it. Unfortunately, not even two Lactaid tablets could save ...

---

I thought this was important to post. Mostly because I think I am in fast food withdrawal. I'm legit fantasizing about french fries and cheeseburgers. Normally I try to analyze cravings to fin...

---

When we were at the beach two weeks ago, I wore my sundress and my bikini and a denim mini skirt flattering enough that a ten-year-old leaned out of his parents' minivan and hollered at me (and A...

---

I am just tired. I'm so tired that I had three different dreams about sleeping last night and ended up calling in 'sick' and sleeping 'til noon. This is after going to bed two hours early. For a ...

---

I need to write about our Florida trip, and the wedding, and... I will get there, just not yet. I need to vent a little first. Aaron's old company keeps begging him to go back to work in Afghani...

---

So... three things. I had a full-blown temper tantrum last night. Sometimes you just need to throw a pillow and cry. I feel a lot better for it. Yoga Meltdown level 2 may kill me, but in all th...

---

So, I am not so good with not knowing/being in control of what's going on. It's mildly distressing. My nightly prayers have turned into a mess of verbal flailing and whimpering. I'm so ready for ...

---

My mom's family is fighting hardcore right now. One of my uncles threatened to literally fight my brother, but I think Joey disarmed him. Probably. Either way, as I informed my aunt tonight when ...
