I had my shower this weekend, and it was absolutely the awesome. I’ll post some pictures once I get them up. Tell you what, though. This girl will not want for clothes for quite some time. She is set! I’ve been working on organizing through them, starting with removing the tags and washing them all […]

saved-up quotes
My birthday’s coming up and Steven and I happened upon my present randomly in the mall the other day. It’s totally awesome, though Lydia doesn’t like it much. I’ll let y’all muse on that a few days before I tell you what it is. ____________________________ Yesterday I was in the elevator in the Women’s section […]
a memoriam to my pants
Earlier this evening I was enjoying my its-not-delivery-its-Digorno pizza when Hermione hopped into my lap to see what flavor pizza I had. I figured that was none of her business so I started to nudge her off my lap. Hermione started to slip off my lap despite her best intentions to hold on, then all […]
bad day/good day
Hermione had a horrible day Saturday. She was lounging in the sun when her Mom and Dad came up with The Carriers — there was no escape. Trapped, she pleaded and cried for them to stop the torture — surely her Daddy would heed her cries — but they took her all the way to […]
Crazy R Us
We’re getting closer to the big day — we find out whether it’s a HeTaco or SheTaco on Tuesday afternoon. Excitement! A few weekends ago, it might’ve been last weekend, I went with my mom to Babies R Us and was totally freaked out by all the STUFF there was. STUFF was crammed into every […]
where’s the carrie?
I’ve been the silent one, haven’t I? Suffice to say I’ve been very creatively drained these past few weeks — the whole first trimester-you’re-gonna-be-tired-all-the-time-deal-with-it part of pregnancy. Thankfully it seems to be wearing off. I even only took about 20 pictures the past two months, and y’all know that just isn’t me! You know, I […]
countdown to potter
Oh my God, in less than 24 hours I will be holding the last Harry Potter book in my hand, reading it feverishly to Steven. It will be the last, the culmination, and then we will all know . . . I have a steak dinner bet on the ending . . . So . […]
just another rat
As I left work today my keychain was noticeably lighter, as was my spirit. After submitting my two weeks’ notice of resignation, today is finally here . . . and I am done. Time for a holiday with my friends and then on to greater opportunities. Happiness.
where a kid can be a kid
Saturday Steven and I got together with his family to celebrate his brother Kevin’s birthday. It was a relaxing afternoon of burgers, beer, and wine. As we talked over our meal, we brought up various birthdays of years’ past. Kevin had a birthday party at a McDonald’s once. My sister had one at the Pizza […]
back so soon?
“Hey, Carrie — what’s going on with your website?” Over the past few months, this question would pop up from one of my friends every now and again — the server that was hosting my site seemed to be having more and more problems staying online. I had plans to switch but life always had […]
