The Nuts Are Running The Squirrel House

Yes, 27 years ago today I entered the world, unclothed and small.  Today, I indulge only in occasional nudity, and I am much bigger.  It seems I have come a long way.  My best friend Rachel threw me a party yesterday - my close friends and even my parents (who are also my close friends) were there.  […]

I am back in Michigan.  Our vacation went fine; other than a cancellation of a flight and subsequent re-routing, there were no travel problems.
But now, the promised pictures.  This vacation was the first time I got to meet my Aunt Lily and baby cousin Anna.  My Uncle Gary got married in Georgia (the country, not […]

I’m in Maine right now on vacation with my family.  I haven’t had access to high-speed Internet until today, that’s why I haven’t posted for the past few days.
So, to catch you up…
We left for Maine Tuesday morning from the Traverse City, MI airport.  The night before, however, I was running errands, and rear-ended a […]

This post will ultimately be about cultural myths, but I must give you some background information.

Seeing as I am getting a tattoo on my foot this Thursday at 6:30 (finally got an appointment - yay!), I figured it was only fair that I give my feet some face time (er…foot time?) on my blog.  I sat down with my feet today and had a heart-to-heart (er…heart to toe?).
