I’ve Been Diagnosed With Somniloquy

For as long as I can remember, I have laughed in my sleep. I'm not talking about just smiling or chuckling; I'm talking about laughing out loud. I'm talking about laughing out so loud that I wake myself up, wondering where the sound is coming from. And then I realize that it is just my laughter. And whatever was making me laugh in my dream is no longer funny when I wake up. When I used to sleep in the same room with my mom, she'd jolt me awake in the middle of my sleep-laughter.

Oh, The Randomness

In my almost seven years of blogging, every now and then, I have one of those days where I have nothing interesting to tell you. Well, I do have some things I could blog about, but my brain isn't here right now. So I will give you 10 random ish. 1. You know those mouth sores you get when you're Vitamin C deficient? Well, I have one right now, and it hurts badly. 2. I've been redoing my price list for advertising on the blog, and it's been keeping me awake till 3am. I'm still not done. Read More

About 1 1/2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts (I used tenderloins which I cut into little pieces). 2. 1 medium red bell pepper (I used two: red and yellow). 3. 1 medium onion, Read More

This past Saturday, I went to the shooting range with Igwe, Kay, and Kay's younger brother, Chris. He (Chris) just came from Nigeria last week. Anyway, we had been planning this event for a while, and finally, after the show on Saturday, we went off to Continental Arms to go shoot some targets. That's Igwe, Kay, and Kay's brother, Chris, heading into Continental Arms Before we even left the house, Igwe kept talking about how he was going to do this and do that, how he was going to beat Read More

Feeling Grateful

It has been almost seven years since I started blogging. When I started blogging, it was just for fun, a place I could come and tell a story. And when people started reading and actually commenting, that was a new kind of high for me. Prior to that, my biggest high was Peak milk. Since then, my blog has gone through several transformations: from the look of the blog, to the content, to the name of the name of the blog, and even to the blogging client. The biggest change I ever made was going Read More
