Burgh Baby: The Biggest One Day Contest EVER
I just recently found Burgh Baby's site, and I love it because not only does she tell adorable stories about her daughter, but she lives in Pittsburgh! And I want to (eventually) live there, get a teaching job there... Anyways, Burgh Baby's mom wrote a very touching 9/11 tribute that you can read here. I encourage everyone to read it.
And there's also this:
Burgh Baby: The Biggest One Day Contest EVER
*UPDATE* I won the WearPittsburg shirt!!! I picked this one because I wanted it to be big and comfy and it is! Its a chocolate brown like the description says, not like the gray color the picture shows. But anyways, the staff was super nice and I highly recommend them if you're thinking about buying from them (and you should, who doesn't want a pierogie shirt?!) Thanks WearPittsburg, and thanks to TheBurghBaby.com for hosting the contest!

life
My parents keep fighting. I spend most of my days just waiting for the next bubble to burst, the yelling/fighting/bad moods to commence again. Sometimes I hope it won't happen again; most of the time I know better.
I'm still looking for a job, but I've just about given up hope on getting one actually decent- I think I'm just going to work at wallyworld. At least they're nice, and the pay is better than anything else around here. Its not as bad as the media/whoever makes it sound. At least our wallyworld isn't.
I love 'house italian' dressing so much that now when I eat my old favorite (ranch) it tastes disgusting. Except I hate how italian leaves a weird aftertaste and really bad breath. But Ranch did that too.
I've taken up chewing gum (to counter the bad breath?). I currently love Stride's Sweet Berry, however, it does NOT last very long at all. Don't believe the hype, you will have to chew another piece. And soon, because it doesn't last near as long as other kinds. I'm always tempted to try Extra's flavors, as they sound so yummy, but I was always told it can cause cancer (it says so on the label!) and so I avoid it like the plague even though I'd so very much like to try it.
This post was just to get me typing on here again, as I'm sure you can tell. If you have, thanks for sticking with me. If not, well, I don't blame you. :p

new look!
Well, what do you think? Not everything is done, the only link that actually takes you to content is the blog and email at the moment but that'll be fixed soon. Let me know if you find anything else that needs to be fixed.
