i don't even know what to title this post + some links...

us last weekend, before the world turned completely upside down

personally, this week has probably been one of THE WORST over here.  i've been running on auto-pilot while simultaneously trying to stop my heart from breaking- which has been impossible. if you are the praying kind, we would graciously appreciate your prayers for my family at this time. also, if you are not the praying kind (like us!) any good/warm/well wishes thrown out into the universe would be splendid. it's weird, this whole blogging thing- because i so desperately want to share with you what's been happening, but i can't for the sake of privacy and for my family, who haven't chosen to willingly share every detail of their lives with you over the internet like i have (they don't know what they're missing!). you should know how much i appreciate the community here- you've always been there to uplift me and there are no words to express my gratitude for your friendship. (: it really means a lot. as for our weekend? well, i guess it's superbowl time.. which, of course means.... DRINKING TIME. and with the current state of events, it's going to be a real fucking party over here... and by party, i mean shit-show. i hope your weekend is good, and i promise to not dwell too much in this negative space- i know that can get REAL boring to read, REAL fast. life is just so...kadjnkehijt ivauhhzipgsheoitu;lzkjgeuopri, ya know what i mean?

anyway.. just a few links this week. thanks for understanding (:
