I don’t keep in touch with very many people from high school or college, but I do occasionally hear things about old classmates from time to time. In the past couple of days, I heard some terrible news: two former high school classmates passed away recently. One was suffering from bipolar disorder and deliberately jumped [...]
Because I stay up late (11:30pm) and wake up early (5:30am) every day, I usually take a 2 or 3-hour nap during the day to help catch up on my sleep. What happens is I’ll wake up, do some blogging, check emails, and go through my Google feed reader, then log off for a while [...]
I’ve been getting headaches almost daily for the last two weeks. They’re not full-fledged migraines or anything like that, so I don’t think this is anything I should be overly concerned about.

I guess the person who bought [...]
As I mentioned a couple days ago, my husband and I have a dream of building our own home someday. We want to buy a couple acres of land in a warm state, hire an architect to put our ideas down on paper, and then get a contractor to build a house we can settle [...]
After being away from the Internet all weekend, I am still trying to catch up on some of the news stories that broke the last few days. For example, what’s up with illusionist David Copperfield? I read that he had his warehouse raided by the FBI, and that agents confiscated something like $2 million [...]
