An aquaintance of both my sister and I posted an attack on my sister for not inviting her to her wedding of last month. It upset us all, and we both replied to her posts with my reply at 1:30 this morning. An hour later I was censored by her removal of my post. Oh […]

The state bird, the state flower, the state tree, the state symbol, the state . . . alcohol?
Well, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. The great state of Alabama now has an official state ‘spirit.’ ‘Spirit’ meaning ‘whiskey.’ Yes, that’s right, folks. The Alabama legislature overrode the governor’s veto this week to name Conecuh Ridge Fine Alabama Whiskey the official state spirit. Pause for dumbfounded speechlessness. Now let me get this […]
Fart Goes The Renton
What is it now, a Tuesday? Yeah, a Tuesday. Let’s see, amusing things presented in an amusing manner . . . I’m stumped. Guess I’ll fall back on the old staple of rambling. I was talking with Steven the other day, and I remarked, “I’m creative. I’m so creative I make no sense . . […]
Road Trip
I miss the smell of diesel fuel at the buttcrack of dawn. This realization came upon me yesterday morning as I was coming into work an hour early for a road trip to Chattanooga, where my boss had his diesel truck running in idle. It was a surprisingly good smell, and memories of band trips […]
A Regret
It’s Christmastime, and the mistletoe is lurking about. A lot of us have fond memories of kisses under the mistletoe. Whether by a friend, a lover, a perfect stranger, or even your cat, you remember that moment. They’re different, they’re special. The kiss that I remember most was, in fact, one that I didn’t give. […]
Last Post For A While; Savor It Slowly
I think this’ll be the last chance I get to write something before the Milestone Weekend commences, so here I am. I have found a sliver of free time in between the music compiation task and laundry. Eureka! Oh, if you could only see Renton right now. He is all stretched out on the Elf […]
You Sure That’s A Cat?
I’ve mentioned it before, but Renton is an odd cat, weird beyond all reason. Where does one start with this cat? He’s just nuts. Last weekend, we discovered a new layer to his nuttiness. Renton (get ready for this one) loves oranges. Oranges! Acidic, oddly-textured, squirt-in-your-eye oranges, and he can’t get enough of them. Cathy, […]
Like A Chicken Caught In Headlights
As I was driving down to Birmingham today, I passed by some interesting roadkill. Not to say that roadkill in and of itself is unusual in Alabama; in fact, first I passed by a roadkilled deer, which is quite the norm. The interesting roadkill I saw was a chicken. Now I don’t know about other […]
Busy
I’m a busy Carrie this week. That’s really all I’ve got right now. No talkie. Just busy. Busy, boring Carrie. Sorry.
Saturday Rambling
GAMEDAY!!! An away game, though, so I shall have to watch it courtesy of ESPN. We’re playing LSU; very important game this year. We’re the underdogs in this one, so that works out good for us. Man, it is going to be some game! But I cannot be at Baton Rouge, and I don’t think […]
