Mi Abuelo
God gave me the two greatest grandfathers. In the world. I miss my dad's father terribly.
I love my mom's father very much, and am so glad I still have him in my life.
I call him Tati.
I honestly don't know how to describe him, but I'm going to try. If no one else cares, …

Self-defeating much?
I'm talking in third person in hopes that it makes self-observation a little easier...
Anne Marie thinks she is a wall. A tall, deep, dug-in wall that can't be taken down. No one can really know what's going on inside. Only when Anne Marie lets down the little drawbridge …

Lost!
This blog post is almost more pointless than the last post, but I couldn't help myself.
Lost is starting up again tonight. I've got the Oceanic 815 cupcakes baked and decorated...
and I'm throwing together some Apollo Candy Bars.
I couldn't be more excited about a season …

I'll meet you at the corner of Ne and Ver
I saw Mall Cop. Kevin James is my hero.
And now I really want a segway.
Try and get this song out of your head. Just try.

We're Cool Like That
Right after Christmas, my parents and I went to D.C. for a couple of days. As soon as we got there, we drove right past the Washington Monument, Capitol Hill and even the White House. Where were we headed?
Ben's Chili Bowl.
What an amazing place. Their chili half-smokes …

Testing Out the New Kitchen
I just moved. Across the street. Hey- don't scoff. Moving is moving. You still have to pack up your stuff, and lift furniture, and feed helpers. Now that I'm back in Wake Forest, and working with a new (although identical) kitchen, I figured it was time I test it out.
I …

Home Sweet... Where?
After a very exhausting two weeks of sickness, and then finals, and then moving, I find myself looking for some comforts of home. They don't really come. I was ready to relax after three all-nighters in a row, stopping only to disassemble all my furniture, pack all …

Not-so-silent Cone of Silence
My first semester of grad school is over. It was exhausting, I can translate (some) NT Greek, tell you where just about any passage is in the gospels (well, I am only really good at Matthew), and outline any passage in the Bible for a sermon (with some success). So... …

All I Want For Christmas
For more reasons than you want to read about, Christmas this year is going to look different (for me). I have next to no money, so buying a bunch of people useless gifts seems... unfitting. I did some Christmas shopping at an amazing Craft & Bake sale, and I've …

I Live in the South
I've let these daily reminders of life in the South slip by, off the radar, unnoticed by this blog.
No longer.
Behold- in my egg carton, right next to Nutrition Facts, is a Bible verse.
Yep. I live in the South. The real South.

Death Warmed Up
For the last four months, I have been amazed that I haven't had a cold. Not even a sniffle. Back home, I would get colds all the time. But since I moved up here, sick people have come up to visit me, friends here have gotten sick, and I haven't been phased. Not even a …

Not as funny as I thought...
Driving around today, I spotted a license plate like this:
The driver was going about 12 mph BELOW the speed limit. After a block or so, I said "If she doesn't speed up, I'm goin' Dew-cho-ca!" My friend didn't really laugh, so I used it another way about 10 seconds …

Majority Wins
And I've gotta say, you chose well. The Thai turkey burgers were pretty great, and I made an Asian slaw and some egg fried rice to go with them. I decided to make baby burgers and stuff them inside Pitettes with peanut sauce. Yum! Thanks. Wish I could have fed all of …
When I Grow Up...
At Frankie's last weekend, my friend came across this "school" notebook. In one of the pages, a kid had started writing up his masterpizzle. What do you think he wants to be when he grows up?
I'm so ill that the doctor couldn't heal me
I'm so bad even the Devil fear me

You decide my dinner
There's this ground turkey in my freezer that I got on sale for $1.29/lb. I was so excited about that steal that I bought 3 lbs. For a single girl, that's like 6 weeks of turkey. I'm down to the last pound. I'm thinking I'll cook the whole package. I have random stuff …

Plenty O' Potatoes!
Almost two weeks ago I got little red potatoes on sale. At the time, it seemed like a great addition to a meal. Maybe steak. Maybe sauteed veggies. But before I knew it, almost two weeks had passed and the potatoes were sprouting little.... ahem... ugly knobs. I had to …

Locks of Love - Video Update
It's been a while since I updated. It is officially cold here, and I'm growing my hair really long to keep me warm. The plan is to cut it off in the Spring when it warms up, so I can donate it to Locks of Love.
annemaroo.com Update! Fall temps, long hair and absentee …

Texting
Texting. It's like a drug. Or maybe a sport. That's a better analogy. It's addictive, but it's also competitive. That's right - there are levels. Some people text IN ALL CAPS. THEY "SAY" THEY'RE NOT YELLING, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. ALL CAPS IS YELLING. Other people use …

The Coolest Mom On The Block
When I have kids, I'm gonna do stuff like this.
They're gonna love it. Geez, I love it. Can I do this for myself?
Thanks to Blissfully Domestic.

What's Wrong With This Picture?
I haven't shared one of my favorite things with you for a while, as I debated whether or not you would like it. It has been long enough.
Readers, meet Cake Wrecks.
You're Welcome.
