Only in Shawnee . . .
So, tonight, my BFF Hillary and I went for dinner at Old Shawnee Pizza. It looked to be a normal dinner where we could sit and chat about life, but as most things go in my life, this is not how it played out. A comedian/magician approached our table, as we were waiting on our meal and introduced himself as the in-house entertainment. And so the show began… For about 15 minutes, we were...
Twilight. . . eh.
I have now read 2/4 of the Twilight books. I felt obligated to read these, as everyone and their mother (literally, as my mother is actually now inheriting my copies to read) is checking these out. I made the mistake of seeing the movie version of Twilight before actually reading the book, so the first book was hardly a page-turner for me, as I knew exactly how things were going to end up. I...

Dear Target,
I love your holiday stock. I REALLY love it. However, I do not understand your zeal to kick off selling for one holiday when the upcoming one hasn’t even happened. In other words, Target, WHY THE HECK DO YOU HAVE YOUR VALENTINE’S DAY MERCHANDISE OUT?? Seriously. You have all of your Christmas merch left. Take a breather, Target. It’s okay to just enjoy the holiday...

Me: Turns out we do have an intercom system. A redneck intercom system. I googled it to see if that was an actual term, and it is: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=redneck-intercom. Maybe we could go "high tech" and add some tin cans with string.
Nick: OMG! That is awesome! Should we use regular campbells soup cans or campbells chunky?
Me: Campbell's Chunky is pretty classy. I don't know if we're ready for that kind of upgrade. I think we should go with the regular soup first. I hear mastering these systems is pretty tricky.
Nick: OK. Fishing line or regular string?
Me: Hmmm. . . fishing. More durable.
Adventures of Fish Me
Since Fish Me #1’s untimely death, Fish Me #2 has been going strong. Today, however, Fish Me #2 looked preggers. I am unaware who Fish Me’s baby daddy is, and we will likely have to go on Fish Maury to figure this out.
I did some research when I got home from work tonight because I did not fully believe that Fish Me was knocked up. According to a reliable source my google research, I...

I just can't quit you.
Dear Denver,
I’m in love with you. I’m totally and completely head over heels for you. For the past five days, I have spent quality hours with you. I have seen you with snow, I have seen you with sun, I have walked your streets with a lemon rose tea in my hand like I’m all sophisticated and such, and I have adored all this time we were able to spend together. I had to...
