I am going to miss being in Erie. Yesterday was my last full day and I knew it’s time for me to leave. I didn’t want to stay because this isn’t my home and I feel that in my soul, but I am going to miss my family. My dad who’s just a few blocks [...]

It was a long week. No, actually it was the same length as all the other weeks. It was just not an interesting week–at least not in any good ways.
Gabrielle comes back tomorrow. It’s about time.

I was writing the blog post about how everything’s changing and I realized something that would never fit into that post so I’m giving it its very own post.
In many ways I think my growing up experience is closer to the small town feel than it is to the suburban feel. I always assumed [...]

Well, the Chili Cook-Off went about like I expected. Adiel and I served up our chilis for our panel of judges. The panel was Josh, Lily, Malachi, Evangeline and Dad. Without knowing who’s was who’s they sampled each contestant. And came to the agreement that the chilis were very different and both very good.
I think [...]

Adiel and I were talking chili the other day. I don’t remember how the conversation started, but I know it had something to do with the proper bean to make a good chili. She started talking about how good her chili was. I started talking about how good my chili is. She insisted on her [...]

So, let’s see if I can come up with some good symptoms this time. I’m starting to run out of time to have any interesting symptoms; Gabrielle’s coming back next week.
This week I ordered liquid vitamins (the really good expensive whole foods kind, but I found a good deal, plus got a [...]

Because as a knitter and a storyteller I thought this was interesting, it reminded of the synesthesia crossover, and mostly because synesthesia is fun to say:
As I always do when I am designing things, I started with a story idea. I know that sounds a bit odd, but I am a storyteller, and I tell [...]

I went for a walk the other day. I walked down to the new elementary school and tried to find my favorite creek. It wasn’t there.
The new elementary school is built right where the old school used to stand. They tore down a rather ratty looking building and built a bigger, better version. They [...]

I forgot to write this post yesterday. It seems a bit silly anyway at the moment, but hey, at least it’s making me write blog posts. See, Gabrielle being gone has not been as big a deal as I thought it might be. Sure I miss her sometimes, but I rarely actually think, “Hey, [...]

I have been very nostalgic of late. It’s almost embarrassing. I’ll be driving along with Adiel and we’ll pass something that’s different from when I lived here and I’ll start gushing about what used to be there. I’ll do this about places I didn’t even like.
“Do you remember that junky old drive-in theater that [...]
