Notes from “A Holiday Story”

→  January 7th, 2009  →  My Daily Life

Click to read “A Holiday Story” In attempts to write about the holidays this year, I found myself baffled by how well things went this year. Karissa and I made Christmas cookies together, hung ornaments on the tree and went to each other’s houses on Christmas Eve and Day to see each other’s families. It [...]

A Holiday Story

A brief note about this story can be found here. –KPM Dear Santa, I am 9. I am helping the Salvation Army. My class gave $80.00! I am on the A-B roll. I only have A’s and S’s! (That is good!) I want glitter because, my brother spilled all of it down the air vent. [...]

The Holiday Spirit

There’s nothing better than the Muppets to put you in the holiday spirit. As an added bonus, this is best winter cartoon in the history of winter cartoons.

A More Perfect Cookie

You know, I was going to write something witty for when Karrisa and I made cookies on Saturday after coming back from Amy’s wedding in Auburn, but I just can’t think of anything right now. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll come up with something later.

My ultimate Christmas list

Things are not looking good in the economy. In fact, they look pretty dismal at the moment, with the recession continuing to deepen and auto makers thinking seriously about taking the black suicide caplet. Sure, President Bush will end up bailing them out, but the U.S. Senate is looked foolish for voting it down. Seriously [...]

Oh Christmas Tree!

This is my first year alone in a real apartment for Christmas, and my mother was kind enough to donate me her artificial tree she was using in her own cottage house in St. Elmo. This year she decided she wanted to go smaller for the house, so she passed it along to me before [...]

“Quick, where’s the closest Banana Republic!”

→  October 10th, 2008  →  My Daily Life

I once said that to a protester outside of Gap while Christmas shopping when I was 12 or 13 in Charleston. The day was rainy and cool, and the world was a much different place where people could afford things like Banana Republic clothing.  But nowadays, it seems more like America is mirroring a third [...]

Taking over the dining room I’ll tell you something that I think every writer will tell you is the God’s honest truth. We can’t do our work unless we have three things: a place for our books, our paper and our butts to sit. Without those three ingredients, the works of people like Mark Twain [...]
