I may be losing my mind, but it’s time for the annual apartment re-haul. We tried to do this earlier this year, but between my schedule and frigid temperatures, it just didn’t work out. With the combination of a three-day weekend and my mother’s help, I plan to get our apartment finished by Sunday.

Crafty goodness + my Twitter addiction? Alright, I cave. It’s about time I had a contest for the folks that follow my mind-numbing ramblings

By the time it was noon, Saturday was panning out to be to hot to handle. I was stuck inside the house- bored out of my mind. Cue theme music- Addison to the rescue! My sister and her little one headed over to STL for a cool afternoon.

I grew up listening to my dad’s Jackson 5 records, only to move on quickly to the likes of Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. I watched the videos on repeat, learned every dance move, and would take my gigantic boombox in the backyard to rehearse them for all of our neighbors.

Sunday afternoons are best for lounging in the kiddie pool, playing catch with your dad and um… shooting a marshmallow gun at your children? Well, in my family they are.

To fuel my addiction to his writing, this year Chuck Palahniuk brought us Pygmy- a story of the little terrorist who could, but did he?

Finally, I got what I wanted- er needed. Last night I absorbed an entire evening of music.

I discovered today, during a conversation with myself while driving to the office supply store, that I need to cut some things out of my life to make more room for what I actually enjoy doing. Funny, huh?

My husband is from Clinton County, IL- where once a year, folks fill the park in celebration of…well I don’t really know, summer I guess.

She’s two years, five months old. Her hair is shaggy- an exact replica of mine at her age. Blonde and wavy bangs cover her forehead. You know the tune…they walk alike, they talk alike…Except I’m 27 and she’s my little niece, Addison.
