God bless CitiBank. I’ve received a few ‘Early Fraud Detection’ calls in the past few weeks, but they all turned out to be me. (We buy stuff for school, which can sometimes be crazy large amounts from...

Good grief.
So, I caught some sort of bug, which isn’t surprising considering all the sick children I’ve been around lately. Wednesday night I watched t.v. on the couch until I fell asleep, which is actually one...

No good deed goes unpunished.
“Let’s go for a walk,” Lloyd said. “It will be relaxing,” Lloyd said. “We’ll take pictures of the snow for a post,” Lloyd said. So, we did. Bundled up in the super-insulated Eddie Bauer coats of yore...

Lloyd and I went to our third Christmas party in a row tonight. (You can imagine how much Hermit Girl looks forward to those.) While we had a very nice time, the ride home was AWFUL! We had a foggy day...

Spam jokes
Today is my birthday, and I am forty. Say it loud, say it proud - I am forty! I have no intention of any celebration, because – as you all know – I am a hermit and relish my solitude. I look forward to...

On our ride to Lincoln this afternoon, I was driving and Lloyd was reading one of his giant books. Suddenly, he looked out the windshield with a distant, serene and zen-like look on his face. Lauren:...

The worst part of my trip
The fates were against me, and the fates were cruel. The very best part of my trip to San Antonio last weekend? That there exists a place on this Earth known as Jerky World. The worst part of my trip...

Alright, let’s get this out there. This post will be long. You may have noticed that for the past few weeks the posts have been lamer than usual. That’s because when something horrible happens it’s...

And then there were none.
Warning: This post is very, very sad if you are me. So, those dumb robins that I fell in love with? They’re all gone, dangit. I only blame myself for three of their deaths, though. If you remember the...

No greater fear
School was a little odd today. We’ve had some construction going on in the alley the past couple of days which has been super-interesting to watch. I now know what is under a manhole cover in the...

Goodbye, Steve.
Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple computer, has passed away. Lloyd’s asleep as I write this. He doesn’t even know yet, and I can’t bear to wake him with such sad news, so I got his clothes ready for...
