Dolphins are just gay sharks.

Whenever I take medicine with soda, I’m worried the medicine and carbonation will combine and explode in my body. When I get a blemish, the thought that my face is rotting comes to mind. Last night, I tried to throw away my tissue in the dumpster. I threw away my phone accidentally.

Yankeeeee Swap

All of these posts are out of order, but who cares. Before we go to Christmas Eve Mass, the Dorans and my family have a nice dinner and then play White Elephant. It’s like Machiavelli meets… Christmas. This year, Ramsey decided to reenact the 2nd season Christmas episode of The Office. He played Michael. The best […]

First Impressions

So I thought I would share this horrifying story with you. As you know, it’s my last semester and so the last class I needed to take was my Advanced English GE credit. I’m in a class called Writing about the Arts and Humanities. Class started at 10. I went to the gym early in […]

Catholic for one night a year

I’ve mentioned this on here before, but on Christmas Eve, my family and the Dorans (our old neighbors who are basically a part of the fam) go to a Catholic church in Cincinnati to hear my dad play the trumpet and my sister play the violin for the midnight Mass. I love this tradition because […]

Trains, Trains, Trains

One of my family’s Christmas traditions is to go downtown Cincinnati for the afternoon to see Santa and all of the other festivities, including the trains at the Duke Energy building. They’ve been doing this display for nearly a century, and we’ve gone since I can remember. It is one of the most magical parts […]

Tannenbaum

For those of you who came to our place in December, you saw how our home because a Christmas tree forest. We had three Christmas trees in all. The first one was in our living room with white lights and my new cute Target ornaments, bought by our last Wedding gift-card. I kind of was […]

New Year. New Style.

Yes. I got sick of my blog again. So, I came up with a new cheesy tagline, which luckily went along with the new focus of my blog AND it matched the title of my blog–Silver Linings. I’ll still write about everyday things, but everyday I’m going to write about one memory from my past. […]

Procrastinating the Procrastinated

I have a lot of posts I need to catch up on this blog and my other two blogs but I’m so far behind that I don’t know where to begin. When this happens in my journal writing, I usually just give up. I refuse to let this happen. I will get back to blogging […]

Homecoming

My friend Becca Child is coming home TOMORROW from her mission in Macon, Georgia. Her homecoming talk is this Sunday and a few of us are going up to see her! I can’t wait!
