If you know me even remotely well, you know that I'm a pretty rabid fan of theirs. I've been looking forward to the concert for a while now, and I've been almost ... http://thedirtroad.net/adriene/journal/archives/2008/11/12/im-just-waiting-til-the-shine-wears-off/ I'm not one to write political posts in general (mostly because political discussions usually make my blood boil), but here I am, writing two posts in a row about the election. However, now that, for the most part, the election is over (looks like we're still headed for a Senate ... http://thedirtroad.net/adriene/journal/archives/2008/11/05/some-post-election-thoughts/ It's Election Season, folks! Strap on your body armor and batten down the hatches, because the mud-slinging is at its slimiest! You may remember several months back during Primary Season where I was venting about the sheer volume of phone calls I was receiving from one Mitt Romney. For those of ... http://thedirtroad.net/adriene/journal/archives/2008/10/28/can-we-vote-already/ 1. Cooked four sugar pumpkins and pureed them.

This morning, I finally put the copy of Ratatouille that Netflix shipped to us on JUNE 28 in the mail. JUNE 28 PEOPLE. I freaking paid nearly $32 to rent that movie ($8 a month x nearly four months). It was good, but not worth $32. 2. I recently ... http://thedirtroad.net/adriene/journal/archives/2008/10/24/four-reasons-why-im-lame/ It's probably not a good idea to make tuna salad in a house that also contains a very fat cat if you want to eat your lunch in peace. http://thedirtroad.net/adriene/journal/archives/2008/10/10/good-advice-friday-edition/ Lately, I've been trying to get back in touch with the music world after taking about a year hiatus while getting into the groove of motherhood.

Maybe it's because I've been reading melodramatic teenage novels. Or maybe it's because I've gotten back in touch with a lot of people via Facebook over the past few months, but I've been thinking back on my high school ... http://thedirtroad.net/adriene/journal/archives/2008/09/28/high-school-confidential/ I just did a big purge of my blogroll to weed out inactive blogs, or ones that are no longer there.

What can I say? Stuff happens. Especially when you're running after two nearly-walking twin girls all day. Not too much has been going on in Holland Land lately, although we did recently ... http://thedirtroad.net/adriene/journal/archives/2008/09/27/long-time-no-blog/
