• Welcome

    Hi, my name is Liesel. Welcome to my blog. I am a twenty-something graduate student and newlywed living in the Midwest. For the first time in my life, I am able to understand and fully feel the effects of a recession including tightened budgets, unemployment, and rampant fear. I come here to vent and deal with the frustration of it all. This is also a chronicle of my life with my husband, Barrett, and the three jerks: our dogs, Molly, Mikey, and Joey. I love feedback so please feel free to leave a comment or send an email.
  • I’m currently reading…

    The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. I gave this book to both my mother and my mother-in-law for Christmas. I know, that means I had not read it yet. But it was on Oprah's Book Club and I'm all about letting Oprah make big decisions for me.

It’s Pouring

Hi guys. I just wanted to write a quick post this morning to let those of you who are checking in daily know that things have been a bit hectic around here since I returned from California. While on vacation, I learned that I was expected to return to my graduate assistantship position this week [...]

The anniversary.

I know, I promised this post days ago. Bad me! A combination of no classes/summer heat has crept in to my brain and caused me to lose all motivation to do anything but plant flowers and lay in the sun. Two things my Macbook does not make friends with. Also, I want to be very [...]

Perspective

I was typing this as a response to Nelia’s commentary on my perspective of Barrett. It became a bit wordy so I am posting it here instead. Her comment was this:
Wow. That was a hell of an answer. I tend to evaluate folks (Hank and myself included) on contributions. I believe, rather stubbornly, that contribution [...]

Ch ch ch Changes.

Hey guys. Just wanted to let ya’ll know that there will be some changes around here in the very near future. Barrett is getting a little tired of my never-ending “after he gets a job” list. So, my insatiable Spring/Summer changing of the season = need to make changes in my environment urge is now [...]
