Just a thought: it’s interesting how family dynamics change with the death of a family matriarch/patriarch.

This is freakin’ sweet!!! I wanna live in shipping containers!

One of the more interesting things I have noticed about maturing is the internal, psychological and emotional changes in myself. I have started to realize my character flaws and how to work around them. I have also started to view my family members as adults rather than authority figures.

This particular issue has brought with it the unsettling realization that there are people in my family who I just do not like. And there are people in my family who I loved as a child who, now that I know them better, I no longer care for!

Does anyone else think this is strange/unsettling?

I just tried the Krispy Kreme Cheerwine doughnut. I do not recommend them!!!

Thanks GoUpstate.com for the picture

The filling actually tastes like Cheerwine, which you would think would be awesome. However, the doughnut is not sweet enough to compete with the filling, and I was left with a weird taste that was something between a Bojangles biscuit and a hot dog (don’t ask).

On a lighter note, Starbucks Via Iced is the shit!

My daughter is here!!! She was born a few days early, but she is healthy and all is fine.

Especially her digestive system!

I don’t know for sure, but I reckon we have gone through 150-200 diapers in her short 2-week life. I don’t know where it all comes from, either! She only weighs 7lbs 4oz.

Pooping aside, I have to say that so far life is awesome with her. I already have trouble remembering what the house was like without her in it.

Since I graduated from college in 2005, I have struggled with not being happy about my work. I have often thought the problem is me. Turns out that might not be all there is to it!
