good things

I saw Transformers tonight. It was good.

I bought some Michelob Ultra Tuscan Orange Grapefruit, and it's actually beer with flavoring, not bitch water. It's good.

I'm going to Knoxville next week. That will be good.

Fabulous and Fantastic

So I found some brownie mix at my local Food Lion that is fat free and actually tastes good! It's called No Pudge, and you can make a whole pan or you can mix it in small batches and microwave it for individual brownies. It's really easy too, you just mix it with vanilla fat-free yogurt. I've even started experimenting with different flavorings (apparently they make it in mint, cappuccino, and raspberry in addition to the original but I haven't found them here). The best I've made so far: I mixed in some fresh raspberries I picked at my aunt and uncle's house and I substituted one of those Yoplait whips in chocolate raspberry, and it was out of this world. Go look for it. Now!

Hmm, it won't let me type in the Title box.....how odd....


I'm going to make one of these. What should I do with it when it's done?

I finished my mirror project last night. Today I'll rearrange my living room and get it hung up. Pictures later.

Jefferson Starship was amazing! I'm so glad I got to go. More on that later as well.

we built this city on rock and roll

Even though I don't like cats, I found this strangely amusing.


So here in the land of Lynchburg where north and south are the same thing apparently (Lynchburg Expressway: Hwy 29 South and Hwy 501 North at the same time), the only place in the world where you go two directions at once, I have found some happiness. There are times when I feel like I'm out of touch with the whole world and it can be very lonely, but then I have days like today. I went to my aunt and uncle's house for the 4th of July. It was just the three of us, and my aunt cooked a fantastic dinner. Then she and I sat on the screen porch and painted while Tillie ran around in their huge fenced yard. When it got dark we sat on the front porch and watched fireworks shooting up from between the mountains. It was a really relaxing day. I realized that this year I have spent all the major holidays with them, and it's very comforting to know that they are there. They are really wonderful people.

On the way home, I checked my cell phone and I had a text message from Amanda. She's coming down from DC to see Jefferson Starship with me on Saturday in Charlottesville! I'm so excited! It's gonna be so much fun!

New Pictures


Tillie and I got caught in a rain storm a few weeks ago, just before it started hailing The hail was big and scary and really loud when it bounced off the metal front door. Tillie was pretty upset from the noise and getting drenched, so I got her a towel to dry her off and she wore it around for about 20 minutes.

More new pictures here under apartment and Tillie!
