Here are the words you never want to hear when you answer the phone, "Your lab results are back and the Dr. would like you to come in. He needs to talk to you." Yep, looks like I'm about to be scolded for my health.
I'm guessing it's my cholesterol, which was high a year ago, or my lipids, also high a year ago, or...

I hope that all turns out well. Congrats on the healthy eating. Very impressive. And it is making me hungry for a chicken sandwich and pasta salad. MMMM
This makes me absolutely giddy. I'm like a little schoolgirl watching this damn thing. It's time to reveal a few things about Tanner, the man. I am an absolute nut for musical theater. I've seen Les Mis, Miss Saigon, Phantom, Joseph, JC Superstar and the list goes on and on. I got this love of musical theater from my mother who always had a musical...

Yes, I've been absent. I've been lurking, but I've just not had much to say, and I still don't actually, but I felt that I should say something. I worked 47 damn hours last week at a job that literally is making me sick. Well, the stress of the job coupled with the 25 pounds I've gained seemingly overnight are combining to make me ill,...

I have cut soda out of my diet(which, considering I drank 8 to 12 a day, is kind of huge for me) but I'm having a problem staying away from fattening foods.
DUDE! that is AWESOME! i am really impressed! you have done a great thing for yourself.
my suggestion for staying away from the fatty foods sounds like i stole it from a women's magazine (which i probably subconciously did) but it works for me: fill up on healthy foods! ta-da!
i always have one piece of fresh fruit (apple, banana, or blueberries), one granola bar, and one yogurt at work to turn to in the event that i get hungry. grilled meat is not all that bad. the merc has those tasty salmon fillets in the back, at their deli. anything fried or creamy is what will really get you. including ranch dressing. always use fat free dressing, or as close as you can get to it, because 2 tablespoons of regular salad dressing have half your daily recommended allowance of fat. ewwww! i also recommend popping your own popcorn in olive oil and then just sprinkling salt on it. the olive oil makes it taste good, and you end up not needing the butter.
you can do it! the trick is to keep eating, just eat healthy.
I hate today.
As a warning, what I am about to write is not going to be funny, it's not going to be glib, it's not even going to be political for once. It's going to be sincere, it's going to be honest, and it's going to be quite possibly depressing. I hope that some of it is uplifting though also. I can't promise anything...

Umm is this thing on? *taps mic gingerly* I am not sure where we are. Are how you feel about me...but um can we start over? I think that you are good person just dealing with a lot and perhaps I over reacted... Friends? *extends hand*
Btw I love Seabiscuit. One of my fav movies and books. You can't beat yourself up for the things that you have no control over. Your mom knew that you loved her. She always knew that. Parents always know. Because they love you and no matter what you say or don't say you are godlike in their eyes.

I've just finished reading What's the Matter with Kansas? like literally 2 minutes ago I read the last words. I'm still digesting the book, obviously, but I am reminded of an exchange between myself and one of my dear friends about a year or so ago. I had noticed that she was not being very talkative so I pressed her on what was wrong. The...

I have returned from my voyage to Western KS virtually unscathed. I escaped with only 2 arguments and 1 night of drunken debauchery. More on all 3 in a moment. First, I want to say thank you to Sophie and cklarock for the comments and for being rad as they get. I've not met either in person, but I can definitely say that there isn't...

"Well, 'reason' is a trap set by the liberal media in order to advance the homosexual agenda."

Welcome back honey! oh and um nice hair....I remember the days when I had that cut - made the pillow so very cold
Ahhh, Thursday. It's 8PM and I've already worked at my shitty ass job for 8 hours, had a nice $1.75 schooner at Louise's(and yes, I will continued to pimp out Louise's until I make it so it's always packed and my social anxiety makes me run out before I even walk in), and cleaned out my car. The latter is a necessity because I'm going...

tanner! this is a rad entry. you look lovely with shorn locks.
1) your grandmother sounds like a badass human being. old ladies cussing make me giddy.
2) at least they love you. and just think, time spent with the young ones is encouraging thoughts outside of the box. on some level.
3) have you read this? cklarock 5.11.05 it is what it is.
4) six hour drives BITE! arrrgh. i feel for you. how often do you go back? travel time for me to get back to my family is approximately the same, although 3.5 hours are spent in a plane, and the remainer is in a car.
5) this morning when i saw your post in cklarock's journal, i cursed you. because i imagined that if you are supposed to be at work at 8 like i am, you were going to be on time, and i was not. you win!

Wow, your family sounds tough to be around. Mine are in Lyons, which is smack in the middle of the state, and in my seven-year absence from their affairs and opinions, I've really grown fond of them. 
Have you considered just not going? You could tell them the drive is just too long, you're too busy at work, or that you have to drive the getaway car while your new black boyfriend sticks up a liquor store?

So, it's Tuesday. That means that after work today I went and had myself a schooner of Widmer Wheat at my favorite dive bar, Louise's Downtown. You can't be $3.75 micro-schooners on Tuesdays and $1.75 domestic schooners on Thursdays. But that's enough of the shameless plugs. Well, almost. I also need to pimp out Henry T's who this week are having 2 for 1 burgers...

oh no no no my sweet! you don't sound pathetic. you sound like me in my every other post!
i so FEEL you on the thing about louise's. the schooners are so cheap and delicious but the crowd is so intimidating. which is just hysterical because i never associate lawrence with anything intimidating, but it's true! so many cool kids go to thursday nights at louise's. i've tried it twice and my social anxiety actually walked me right out the door after five minutes one of those times. the other time i went really early and somehow avoided the crowd.
i would offer to accompany you, but tonight's my knitting night. right down the street from where you'll be, i'll be at aimee's coffee shop. i'd invite you, but it's an all girls thing. sometimes there's three of us and sometimes there's eight, but generally we turn into cackling hens. it's my one girl-night a week.
i hope you have an excellent time. you're awesome, don't forget it.

Hello to the few who actually read this(which does seem to be more people than I thought). After giving a brief rundown of the perks of my job last time, I feel like maybe I didn't explain the reason that I am still doing a job that very much is against my political beliefs. Now, granted, I'm not trying to justify myself, I am a...

So, I'm back. I'm sure that nobody noticed I was gone, well, except for Bright but that's only because I annoy her places other than here But I'm back and better than ever, or some other tired worn out cliche.
Since we last spoke I've been laid off, rehired at a $2/hour raise, signed a new lease for the fall with a new roommate of...

they want you!
it feels so good when a corporate job actually does something nice for you.
welcome back to the site! i actually did miss you!
Fast Food Nation is perfectly described by the phrase "fabulously disturbing."
i need to read What's The Matter With Kansas, but i'm having a hard time starting it, because i just barely got to this state, and i'm in the process of falling in love with it. maybe i'll wait until winter. heh.
