I suppose it has to take a life-changing event to make me get online and post again, hmm? I'm bummed today b/c I found out last night that a friend has been recently diagnosed w/ breast cancer. She's already set to do a mastectomy this week and soon will be going through chemo. WHAT?!?!

Seven years ago, when my best friend Jess was diagnosed with ( Read more... )

Well, after going back and forth to such extremes with Pedro, I've decided to do the unthinkable. I've made a posting on Craig's List and I'm going to try and find Pedro another home. After just seeing my post from yesterday, you may think that I have just made a simple decision and posted just like that but this has been a heartbreak and stress ( Read more... )

HELP!!! I really need some advice from everyone, especially all you cat-owners, and I hope you may be able to help. Since I last posted, I got a second cat. His name is Don Pedro and he’s a long-haired version of Nadia and is an incredibly sweet cat. HOWEVER, I don’t know what to do now, and I have been going crazy ( Read more... )

Just a quick little note. I've got internet at home now. Whoo-hoo, aren't ya proud of me? At this point, I wonder if anyone still keeps tabs on me. But, it's ok, I'll build up my friendship base again ( Read more... )

Yippee, I'm going to NYC in July! It all started as a "maybe", "if-ish" kinda deal, but I have been talking w/ a couple of my DC friends, Katrina and Julie, about getting together this summer. I miss my girls, and I've come to realize that it's important to do what you can to keep up good friendships. I wish I could meet up with all my DC people ( Read more... )

I know, I know, I have been really bad about blogging. I do miss it, and I swear, I PROMISE, that I'm going to get internet very soon. Soon indeed. I just need to figure out what's cheaper -- DSL or cable. I hate Bellsouth w/ a passion, but I'll likely join up w/ them again. I do have a home phone that I never use. In fact, I have a phone ( Read more... )

In the last few weeks, I've eaten a quail's egg, fallen over in a backwards roll on dog hill and landed on both feet, found my front passenger car window smashed in at dog hill, and have gotten an cat named Nadia. It's been a busy time for me. Yet, I'm still here, standing, and I just wonder if things could get more hectic.

Please don't answer that ( Read more... )

Wow, it has been so long since I've been on LJ that I had to scroll through several pages of friends posting to just get caught up on everyones' lives! Wow, there's lots going on. I still don't have web access at home and I've gotta say, I'm hard pressed to be going and buying up some DSL. I still have issues w/ Bellsouth and ever since that ( Read more... )

Argh. I know, it's been a while and all I can really write here is HI. I'm ALIVE!!! I've been missing all of you and reading your blogs, etc. I don't have email access at work b/c it's pretty much forbidden (although maybe when I get more comfy it'll happen?). I like my new job. It's crazy and busy and technical but I'm learning tons. I'm ( Read more... )

DC was so great!!!  I had such a fun time meeting up with several people -- and at the same time, I was able to really spend time with everyone.  Last year when I came to town, I felt there was no time, and I had not really seen people.  There were several whom I missed.  I think the key difference this time was having my car and having Heidi with ( Read more... )
