November 27, 2009

Alternately Titled: How mom saved Thanksgiving and why Ham isn’t the same Under normal circumstances, my Thanksgiving is spent at my Aunt’s house on the shores of Lake Champlain.

Daddy’s Little Girl

June 21, 2009

I don’t really want to divulge a lot into what is often the complicated relationship I have with my father. Lately, I’ve been contemplating the father-daughter dance at the wedding. Dad had a few requests, none of which I felt were really…representative of me/our relationship (though this song might be slightly more lyrically appropriate…I kid, [...]
