Life always seems the craziest when you're actively trying not to be busy at all. Last summer was rough for us because we had so many people staying with us throughout June, July and August and we vowed that we wouldn't repeat that this year. We made plans to not make plans at all. The problem with that is we either end up doing absolutely nothing at all, thus turning into literal sloths who serve no other purpose than to make the ass prints in our couch bigger. Or things end up appearing so unexpectedly that before we know it, we've blown

For starters, this guy right here graduated college. This is my younger brother, Eric. In the beginning of May, Steve and I got really early one Saturday morning to drive an hour and a half to Myrtle Beach to watch him walk across that podium at Coastal Carolina University and receive his college diploma.

This is why, in the past, I have bought a new pack of underwear instead of washing the dirty ones (in my defense, this was also when I lived in apartment and had to go to the laundromat). This is why I sometimes go at least a week without doing dishes. (I am, apparently, also a slob. But in my defense, I am a packrat and therefore have enough
Read MoreI have a problem. I'm a perfectionist. I'm fickle. I'm impatient. I'm determined. I'm easily overwhelmed. I have a brain that seems to move faster than I can speak. I'm lazy. Lazy enough not to follow through with writing down all of the seemingly amazing things (amazing to me, at least) that my brain throws at me.
