Ex-Factors

Ever wonder whatever happened to those people who ruined your emotional stability for a certain period of time after they dropped you for someone else?  Or, maybe it was visa-versa with you holding the better hand: you dropped their baggage at the curb.  Well, I do.  I wonder from time to time what happened to [...]

Last weekend, my mother and stepfather purchased a brand new SunChaser pontoon boat from a dealership/marina in Lake Wedowee, Alabama.  It is pretty nicely outfitted, too.  So, this weekend, while I am in Georgia visiting them, they decided to take the boat out again, and then return it to Georgia in order to store it [...]

Yesterday, Dave decided to give up watching television.  He felt that the time he spent watching TV wasted away valuable hours in his day.  Those precious hours, which he could use for, I don’t know, staring at the ceiling, ticked away without any good moments to take away; no valuable memories were made.  So, when [...]

Hello, my name is Rachel.  I am a perpetual klutz.
In my family, graceful is not a word often used to describe the women.  Blessed with bowed-knees (Paula) or feet that pronate too much (me), we usually find hips, thighs, knees, and calves riddled with bruises.  Currently, my bruise count is up to three.  One of my [...]

Today, Dave and I ventured to Best Buy armed with almost $200 in gift cards to purchase Guitar Hero II and III for his brand new XBox 360.  Once home, the rest of the day was almost entirely dedicated to playing the game, save walking the dog and few other things.  My hands and arms [...]

As Dave and I drove home from Lowe’s, where I purchased my father’s gift moments ago because my younger brother failed to purchase anything for the members of his family, but could definitely afford another wireless guitar for his PS3, Dave asks me what his parents bought him for Christmas.
“I am not going to tell [...]
