I just read that today is the anniversary of Princess Diana’s death. The information brought me back to what I was doing eight years ago today. I was twenty six years old.
I was living in the upper portion of a spilt level house two blocks away from the Warren Stamping plant (Eminem’s old place [...]

My husband made a movie for me this morning.

I’m laying in bed. There seem to be cats everywhere, even though there are only two. Both are laying on my arms, and expanding, making it difficult to type.
I’m back from Chicago and feeling like I’m not sure what I’m feeling. It’s a half headache, slightly stoned, introverted, achy but strangely [...]

I’m flying back to Vegas tonight.

My niece turned four today. We partied like rock stars in the McDonald’s playland. I’m exhausted. My stepdad kept calling Ronald McDonald, Roddie McDowell.
Once again having to watch over and attend to small children leads me to the already explored fact that I’m not ready….good lord, I’m so not ready.

Police sirens should never be used in rock songs. Or at the very least, they should bleep them out like curse words when being played on the radio.
That is all to report from birthday party central.

This letter was written to Murphy the dog by my three year old (four year old tomorrow) niece.
Dear Murphy,
God is making foot prints for Taylor to see. I hope you feel better from your operation. I hope you like flowers. I hope you like computers too. And I hope you like [...]

Tonight we ate dinner with Aunt Jackie and Uncle Ralph. It was slightly painful, but bearable. The only two highlights that I feel like writing about…..
My step dad Bob just recently started walking with a four pronged cane. He shuffles unsteadily and slowly makes his way along. As we walked through the front door of [...]

I went shopping tonight. I bought THE perfect purse. When I was done, I walked out into the dark parking lot and could not find the car. The parking lot was nearly empty, and I was puzzled. I went to the four or five hondas in the sparse parking lot thinking that maybe, somehow I [...]

I am filling my time by selling off the mountains of crap my mother accumulates between the times I come to visit. I suppose garage sales and trash days are better than taking this compultion to Nieman’s. Although, in her defense, I have to say that the house isn’t as bad this time. I [...]

I did not die in a fiery plane crash, or a fiery car crash as of yet.
But…..
my mother is a terrible driver. I have been wearing my seatbelt while sitting in the back seat.
I’m laying in this dusty cluttered bedroom looking into the open closet at the boxes of christmas stuff that I [...]

Ten minutes to boarding the plane and I find out there is free wireless at McCarrin airport. I’m flying into Rockford Ilinois. It’s an hour ouside of Chicago. Rockford is the town that my mother is from and that my grandparents lived the majority of their lives in. It’s 10:30 in the morning. I have [...]

I’m going to Chicago this morning. I’ll be there a week or so.
Anyone want to buy our eurovan?

I just want to say one short thing, and I have to keep it short because I have a very strong opinion on this and related matters and might have a tendency to go off on a tirade.
Cow’s milk and dairy products in general are not good for you. Cow’s milk and dairy products in [...]

All I can say is even after a terrible trouncing yesterday, baseball is still going well. I also really want to tell you about the half of a craps table that “someone” built in our bedroom, but that’s top secret also.
Damn, it’s hard to keep my big mouth shut.

Murphy the dog has lived through her experience. I was expecting her to be traumatized and asleep. She bounded out of the back room of the vet’s office with more gusto than usual. Her eye actually looks better than it did beforehand. At home she slowed down a little. She drank some water ate some [...]

I’ve been meaning to post this but I had to download new drivers for my scanner. This is Andy and I in fourth grade.
Andrew Blair rocks my world!!!!!!!

Murphy the dog is through her surgery and resting. Although she may have to spend the night at the vet’s office. I keep thinking I hear her comming up the stairs and then I remember that she’s not here.
Andy is playing poker. I am sitting next to him on the couch seriously considering cleaning up [...]

We just dropped Murphy the dog off at the vet to have her eye eneuclated (medical verbage for removed). I don’t really want to write about it because it brings up that burning shaky feeling that if I give in to will lead to crying. I haven’t had breakfast yet. There can be no crying [...]
