Charlie, Today you turn ONE YEAR OLD! What?! Just yesterday you were our little baby and now you’re a big kid! It seems as if you’ve just gotten here but at the same time, as if we’ve never known life without you! I’ve been wanting to write something to you on here, especially, to keepContinue reading “Happy birthday, best friend!”

We’re worried about you, Justin Timberlake
Now that my sisters and I are older and all out of the house, it’s harder to get the whole fam-damily together for a vacation. Schedules are all over the place and Sami and Austin are in a different city now and Rachel and Chuckie were and it’s just…life. The last time we were allContinue reading “We’re worried about you, Justin Timberlake”
Grandpa Kardashian and Grandmother Nollner
Sometimes when our immediate family is together, we talk about when my parents become grandparents one day, what they might be called. Growing up, we just called all four grandparents “Grandma” and “Grandpa.” And differentiated with last names when we needed to (mainly Christmas present labels). But now it’s a little different. And my sistersContinue reading “Grandpa Kardashian and Grandmother Nollner”
Dear Lucy
Dear Lucy, I miss my roommate. I’m not talking the ones who lived upstairs and yelled at me sometimes for feeding you too many marshmallows. I miss the roommate that slept at the foot of my bed for over a year and when you weren’t perched there, you were in the doorway of my bedroom,Continue reading “Dear Lucy”
Unforgettable
I remember her singing that song around her house when we were younger. And then when we were older. And it summed her up pretty perfectly, because, you see, my grandma is and was and always will be unforgettable. I’ve been thinking a lot about her recently. The first weekend of this month was theContinue reading “Unforgettable”
Saying goodbye, a little late
In March, some very bad things happened. My grandma, who suffered from Alzheimer’s for years, took a quick turn for the worst and, after missing my grandfather for the past two and a half years, she was finally able to go and find him. The very hour we came home from her funeral, we gotContinue reading “Saying goodbye, a little late”
Celebration Summer
As of right now, I think the parties are over for a little while. At least the major ones. I think… This is why I have a planner. Helps. Well, whenever I remember to write things in it. But they have been pretty much nonstop since early May. I’m not complaining – at all. IContinue reading “Celebration Summer”
They’re bound to be tired of me by now
It’s been a little over a year since I moved back in with the parents…something I should have done after college to save some cash and pay off some bills but I’m stubborn and didn’t so here I am now. For the past year, I’ve taken over the “home theater” in the basement, and I’veContinue reading “They’re bound to be tired of me by now”

My favorite boy turned one on Friday, and he’s too cute for just one pic.
Everything I know I learned from television
Once upon a time – at my previous job – there was talk of sending a reporter to spend the night in jail to write about the experience. It never ended up happening, but I like to think I’d have done just fine if I’d been chosen. (I had a 50/50 chance as there wereContinue reading “Everything I know I learned from television”
