I’m Not an OnStar Customer
24 September 2008A couple of weeks ago I got an email welcoming me to OnStar and congratulating me on the purchase of a new vehicle. Since then I’ve gotten more emails from them like diagnostic reports, order confirmations, etc. The weird thing is that I’m not an OnStar customer and I got my car 3 [...]
Reese
29 August 2008A week ago today I adopted a puppy that I found through Petfinder.com from the animal shelter in Aberdeen. He’s a mini-dachshund/feist mix. He’s gonna be inside so I didn’t want a huge dog. I was having a lot of trouble coming up with a name, so I called him Puppy for days. [...]
Independence Day 2008
7 July 2008I had a relaxing and enjoyable Independence Day weekend. With all that’s been going on it was good to have a weekend with no stress and no traveling. I kept Bailey this weekend and having him around kept me from sitting around all day. I took him walking and took him outside [...]
Ma’dea
28 June 2008My grandmother passed away this past Sunday. We called her Ma’dea. She was 88 years old. Her funeral was Thursday in Bolton, MS.
I lived with my grandparents from the time I was 6 weeks old until I was 14, though I spent weekends and holidays with my mother. My [...]
A Brand New Car
19 June 2008Well, not brand new but new to me. I finally got a new car yesterday.
My mom’s car was stolen recently and when she got it back it was in pretty bad shape. Since I had planned on getting a new car in the near future, I let her have the old car that [...]
Bailey
6 June 2008Bailey is my former roommates’ dog. Yes, he was named after the drink. We got him last September when he was about 2 months old. I always took care of him when everybody else was gone. He is a cool dog and the best dog I’ve ever known. This past [...]
CUTCO Knife Set
18 May 2008I bought a set of CUTCO knives last summer and I’m so glad that I did. I’ve never had good cutlery like this. They are so sharp. I get a little nervous about hurting myself sometimes because of how sharp they are. If I did accidentally cut something off, I’m sure [...]
Good Luck, John
9 May 2008Today, my roommate and friend John is leaving Starkville. He got a new job in Jackson and will be living in Brandon. His first day is on Monday. I’m glad that he’s starting on a career and that he’ll be getting out of Starkville, but I’m going to miss having him around. [...]
Three Months
17 April 2008Bad things seem to happen in 3s.
In early January my roommate John and I were going to check out the sushi place in the recently reopened Student Union on campus. A guy driving the other way turned in front of us and the cars collided. The collision was pretty scary. At one [...]
Tax Day 2008
15 April 2008Today is Tax Day. I started on my return online a couple on months ago. I realized that I was going to owe the IRS for the first time, so of course I’m waited until the last day to pay them. I just finished my return.
I’m going to celebrate Tax Day by [...]
