Age Gap

For those of you who read this blog, you might not know that I have two little sisters. 

As I type this, one is sixteen years old and the other is thirteen. I am *cough cough* thirty-five this year; which means there is a bit of an age gap. 

I've tried not to let it be to much of a problem and my sisters don't really tease me about it much, but there are times when it's tough. For example, when the older of the two was nine years old, she didn't think I was cool anymore. Up until that point, she thought I was pure awesome. Then one day she thought I was goofball. Well I am, but she was embarrassed of her goofball big sis and that kind of stung a little. 

 

Bringing Harmony to your Habitat: Starting from Scratch

Here is a recount of my experience with the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa AL on April 27, 2011. I posted this on Facebook so that my family and friends would know what happened.

The day before the tornado (sometime in the early am) a water pipe in the apartment above ours burst and flooded two and a half rooms in our apartment. I had to do a lot of rearranging to make room for the fans and dehumidifiers. A third room had a tiny bit of water under a small table, so I moved the table into the living room to get it out of the workers way.

The day of the tornado I was in the computer room typing away on a story when my mother called and told me about a tornado in Tuscaloosa. I got off the phone and called Steven, who was on campus, to get more information. Steven, thinking it was somewhere else, told me that we should be all right.
