Weekend with Jessica

I invited Jessica to the Ener-Tel Christmas Party a few weeks ago, and she was excited to have been asked. I didn’t realize it was that big of a deal to her, but she made it clear she was happy that I even considered asking her.

The sweetest birthday gift

I believe I am in receipt of the sweetest birthday gift I believe I have ever received! Jessica is a fantastic artist, and for my birthday, she made me a set of pastel drawings — she framed them and everything! On my living room wall is where I have it proudly displayed. There’s nothing better [...]

Cleaned out my fridge (against my will)

Damn refrigerator broke today. Dammit. I knew my Dr. Pepper seemed to not be as cold as usual at lunch today, and I sure hope the accompanying pastrami sandwich doesn’t cause me issues tonight. I opened the freezer door this evening to find meat juice, ice cream, and mushy vegetables all congealing into a thick, [...]

Icing on the cake

I know I’ve already made it public that I’ve been accepted to Angelo State University, but I just had to publish one more remark on the whole thing: today I got a card in the mail from ASU, and when I opened it, a handful of gold and blue stars fell out of it! All [...]

Unhealthy eating

As some of you may already know, my oldest cat, Merlin, is undergoing a once-per-day meal schedule in order to reduce his weight. Every couple of weeks or so, I’ll scoop him up and stand on the scale, then weigh myself alone, and then execute a little math to get his weight. In doing so, [...]

ASU, here I come!

I have been accepted to Angelo State University College of Sciences. I haven’t received a letter (yet) — I just logged into the ASU Student portal and was able to see my application status. Well, this isn’t as big a deal as it may sound — state schools accept damn near anyone. But it’s an [...]
