Four years ago today was the worst day of my life. Good thing the 10 years preceding were the best.

Today's experiment: making Starbucks' new instant coffee in a water bottle out of desperation for caffeine.

Results: not terrible; just tasted like coffee that went cold.

I drank about half of that. haha.

Looking goofy with my headband and my swirly glasses and the spoon hanging from my ear.

I told him not to look at the camera (you think people would get used to this madness by now!) so he decided to strike a pose instead. His name is Nathaniel, also known as Sexboy, because he'll never get into my pants :)

This is quite a mean picture on my part. The table kids wanted to see Nancy's headscarf.

Lunch Kids.

Rob's feigned shock at something or another. Allie's slight amusement at something just behind Rob.

I thought I'd show everyone where I live.

Uh, well... This is it.

Plenty of seating in case I want to have guests over.

It's a little hot.

And it's a bitch to turn the lights on.

But over all it's homey enough.

Some more furniture

It's even got a view.

Here are some temporary roommates.

This one just never goes away.

We don't mind Kian.

It's even got internet access.

Paige shows off her nasty-ass collarbone. It's so weird.
