Personalizing My Car

I recently purchased a new car and I love it.  There is just something to be said about having a new car, and smelling that new car smell.  It is my first new car, so I am enjoying every minute of it.
But the one thing that I have noticed is all the cars that look [...]

Lunchtime Containers

Whenever I go grocery shopping, I always go and take a look at the food storage units. I use a lot of them, as I try to send reusable containers of yogurt and pudding in my children’s lunches, rather than sending a bunch of prepackaged food. I think it makes no sense to create more [...]

Staining the Deck

Over the weekend, we finally had an opportunity to get some yard work done.  With the snow finally melted (we had some earlier in the week), we were able to do a little weeding.
Thankfully, I must have done a good job weeding last fall before the first snowfall, and it didn’t take very long.  So, [...]

Getting My Brother Help Again

After completing his last stay at a drug rehab facility, my brother was doing very well.  In fact, he lasted just shy of three months before he started having problems again.
Maybe he should have moved to a new town with new faces, but he fell back into his same routines and started using drugs again.
But, [...]

Watching Professionals at Work

I was down in New York last week to help a good friend of mine move.  You see, he needed to expand his business, so he was moving to another office across the city.
I helped him pack up most of the stuff, but it was nice to see that he hired a New York Moving [...]

Where Has My Hair Gone?

Well, as years have gone by, my hair has slowly disappeared.  What used to be thick hair has turned into a thin, sparse head of hair.  I knew that I would face hair loss eventually as both of my parents have little hair left, but I thought I would at least make it to my [...]

Fixing My Nose

A couple of years ago, while playing baseball, I had a little accident.  You see, instead of catching the baseball, it missed my glove and hit me in the nose.
Now, I just feel like my nose is an eyesore.  It never quite healed properly, and people just look at my nose when they are talking [...]

Getting It Done Right

I have been having a rough time getting the last essay of the year done.  I don’t know what it is, but while working on my last philosophy essay, I have just hit a roadblock.  It is as if my brain has had enough and decided to shut off.
So, I headed down to the campus [...]

Easier Than Doing it Myself

I have always been one to find the easiest way to do things.  From using herbicides to weed, to taking showers instead of baths, I always do what is the quickest and the easiest.
When it came to writing essays in college, I found myself with a challenge.  I mean, how does one get their law [...]

Settling Down

I have always been a bit of a drifter. In that, I mean that I was never content to be in one place for very long. When I finished high school, I decided to go backpacking through Europe for a month and I never ended up coming home for over a year. This is how [...]
