Sometimes I don't know what to write, so I just start to type and see what comes out. My backspace bar gets a lot of play during times like this.

I guess I'll write about what's been happening.

My little sister graduated from college a couple weeks ago. I went down to see her graduate, and I bawled my eyes out as she walked down the aisle to her seat, when she went up to get her diploma, and then again when everyone clapped for the graduates. I was full of pride for her, she did a lot of hard work to graduate from the Honors College Magna Cum Laude.

Last weekend we had a graduation party at my parents house. Family members from around the midwest came to congratulate her. I brought my pug Petra, and Bob to the party. It was a really nice day. My family enjoyed Bob's company, and Petra's as well. We stayed all day, and ended up getting home around 10:45.

A few hours after we got home, our new upstairs neighbors got back. Bob corralled them into our house so I could meet them. So far, I like them. Jimmy and Jackie, the young punk couple from the North side of town. They ended up staying till about 3 in the morning.

This week could have been better. I had some relationship issues that needed to be worked out. I think things will be better now, we'll see. If not, I'm done.

I seem to have some health issues as well. I've had acid reflux, the shits, and a period for almost 3 weeks now. I feel crappy, but I don't know what to do about it other then take some tums and stock up on the mega variety packs of tampons. Oh yeah, and eat lots of chocolate.

I went to The Fresh Market yesterday, and had a foodgasm. I wanted to buy everything in the store. I probably would have if I could afford to.

What I bought at The Fresh Market:
A Sourdough Bread, unsliced
A Beef Liver
1/2 lb of Chocolate covered toffee candies
Strawberries

I wanted so much more! That store is amazing. I think I'd shit if we had a Whole Foods. The last grocery store that made me so excited was Fox & Obel in Chicago. That store kicked ass. :)

I could use some gift certificates to The Fresh Market, if anyone wants to feed my fat, that would be the place to do it!

I have also been trying to keep my house relatively clean, because I'm hoping to have some company this weekend. It's not easy to keep the house clean with dog hairs floating around everywhere. It's been a process.

I will update you again when there's something to say.
