Here goes...

I have now officially joined the world of blogging. My sister will think I'm totally weird when I tell her. Now I just need to think of something to say...

Oh, and my name? It rhymes with "smiley", if that helps.

A few weeks ago I felt the need to drive nearly 6 hours to Washington Depot, CT and see the town that inspired Gilmore Girls' "Stars Hollow". Of course I had to request off work, wait 3 weeks for those scheduled days to arrive, and hope that I still felt adventurous. It seemed to work out nicely since Utah didn't happen and with this weekend's events, I needed a break from life right about now anyway. I chose a hotel in the Danbury/Bethel area of Connecticut which is only 20+ miles from my dream destination, but once I got there, my desire to see "Stars Hollow" waned and I didn't feel like driving an extra 40 minutes out of my way. I figure, you see one New England town, you've seen them all. I'm sure that's an incorrect assumption; I'll have to adjust my worldview for next time. I did, however, enjoy these two days of scheduled spontaneity. In honor of at least one favorite TV show, I spent a "scrantastic" 20 mi...

The Pizza Roll Rebellion...

I'm 27 years old. You'd think I have the ability to make decisions on my own. So, at 10:30 the other night, I was hungry. I decided I wanted pizza rolls. Not the healthiest choice, I realize, but it was my choice nonetheless. My mom said no. My dad said no. I tried to obey. I washed my face and decided I was still hungry. I walked past my parents' room and said I was going to have pizza rolls. My dad said my name rather loudly and told me not to. I did anyway. I've never really been the rebellious type, but apparently this was a moment that called for action. Let me sabotage my body if I want to, dang it! I'll be the one facing the consequences, i.e. needing a significantly larger size the next time I buy clothing. But it's my choice, right? I'm not necessarily proud of my miniature rebellion - I don't like to be disobedient - but I feel as though there ought to come a time in one's life when parents can no longer tell you what to do. I don't app...

Look at the baby!

Surprise event of the weekend: My newest niece was born Saturday morning at 5:41, and guess when she was due - November 5th. Just in case you're confused or a little out of touch, Saturday was not November 5th. It was, in fact, October 17th, meaning she was in such a hurry to reach the world that she came three weeks early! Crazy kid. Needless to say, she's tiny. 4 pounds, 11 ounces kind of tiny. But, she is absolutely beautiful and has one heck of a big sister: "Psy'renee Alayna Dennis" - I'm pretty sure her name is bigger than she is. Paris holding her baby sister's hand. Tender. Paris told Psy (pronounced 'sigh', as in psychology, psychotic, psychiatrist, etc): "It's going to be alright." I almost cried, it was that adorable. Paris holding her sister for the first time... ...and Paris being distracted by a Barbie commercial on the TV above her. Paris found an awesome hiding place for her solo game of hide-and-seek. Lo...
