Five years ago, I was dreading a chemistry final. Only a few days left of my freshmen year of college, and I was looking forward to the chemistry-free summer. I wouldn’t have thought it that morning, but by the evening I would be someone’s girlfriend again. Oh, to go visit that Carrie of five years […]

kitty reports, with cheese
Renton and Hermione are slowly getting used to each other. For two nights in a row now, I have been on the couch with one cat, then the other cat comes and gets on my side and falls asleep, only to slide down right beside the other kitty without knowing it. At one point they […]
wednesday musings
Things are slowly beginning to settle into place now. My sister is getting married in just four weeks, her fiancé just got a new job (“So now they don’t have to live at the Jimmy Hale Mission,” Mom says), and Steven will be a college graduate in a little over two months. It’s been a […]
It Followed Me Home
Ooh, I’m a bad, bad Carrie. I haven’t written anything in over a week! I’ve got a good excuse, though; a few good excuses, actually. Steven was in between semesters at Auburn, so I got to experience what it’s like to have your husband with you every evening instead of just weekends. I quite enjoyed […]
Hell No! Hell No! DSL Has Got To Go!
I don’t have cable. I used to about a year ago, but I decided that fifty bucks a month on top of my phone/DSL bill was a shitload of money, and something had to go. Naturally, internet was my top priority, then cable, then the landline phone. Unfortunately, the DSL needs a landline to work, […]
let them eat dinosaur cake!
Last weekend was very amusing; we had a lot of parties. First was my sister’s wedding tea in Columbiana. It went very well, plus they had those tasty little cucumber open-face sandwiches like at my tea, so I was happy. I am partial to cucumbers. We had my birthday dinner on the same night at […]
April 32nd
Just wanted to write something so I can go back later and think, “Woohoo, look, that’s what I wrote on my birthday!” So that’s what I’m doing. And this past weekend was very amusing, but it’s way too damn late for me to use any mental capacity to write it all down. I’ll consult the […]
mmmm, cakey
The clothes are in the washer, Renton has been bathed and is now sulking in a corner . . . it must be Thursday! Thursdays have become chore days around here recently since two out of three Fridays I’m bookin’ it to Auburn or Alabaster for the weekend. I’d rather get stuff done now so […]
salad ratios
Stupid Foodland strikes again; they ruined my salad! I ran by there earlier today to pick up some vittles and they had their fresh chef salads out, which I had tried once before and was pleasantly satisfied. On today’s batch, the composition was much shoddier. First, they forgot my cheese, that good, squishier white cheese […]
Crunchy Thoughts
Well, folks, I finally broke down and got a web domain and server space. I couldn’t do all that I wanted with freebie ad-encrusted web space, so I figured it was worth the eight bucks. Now I can bombard you with pictures, video, and crazy thoughts nonstop and ad-free! Long live the internet, and all […]
