Restoring another that tie (should) bind
I've spent much of 2008 restoring ties that should have never been severed in the first place--and if I'd kept them up, more than likely I wouldn't have made the mistake of marrying Jamie. The first was with my old pals from the high school and college days. The other was my love for Carolina football and basketball ( Read more... ) -
This is what happens when you hold stuff in
There's a reason I haven't opened my big mouth lately--I've been wanting to air my feelings out about my ex a year after the divorce, but in the mood I've been in regarding some of the things I learned about her, I was afraid I'd say something that would get me arrested. I hadn't really been able to talk much about it during the summer of 2007 on ( Read more... ) -
Memories ...
I recently decided to go on my Facebook account after letting it sit fallow for some months, purely on a whim. Well, actually, it was after getting friended from one of my old high school pals. In the last few days, I've probably managed to link up with 15 or so of my old Myers Park and Carolina friends ( Read more... ) -
Maybe I can cross any AofGs off the list
I haven't been to church in over a year--another casualty of Jamie. I had to leave a church I loved because Jamie showed up there one time out of nowhere a few days after Thanksgiving '06. Now, this was while I was still in limbo due to her cowardly attempt to frame me up. Thinking she was trying to booby-trap me into getting packed off to jail ( Read more... ) -
Finally getting down to business
Today I'm relishing my first real weekend in three weeks--and only my second real weekend this month. One of the departments at work was behind (due to a lot of turnover, I think), so we had to work Friday night for three out of the past four weeks. While I like the extra money on my paycheck, this schedule throws my sleep schedule off by a mile ( Read more... ) -
Oprah being slimed
I was just working on another entry--a much longer one--when I came across something one of my friends forwarded to me. Seems that some people are having a hissy-fit over Oprah Winfrey giving a spiritualist's book major play on her book club.
Looking at the hand-wringing comments on a YouTube video slamming her, I find myself wondering, "Um, what ( Read more... ) -
I was married to a sociopath
Just a few months before Jamie and I got married, Scott Peterson was arrested and charged with the grisly murders of his wife and unborn son. The case really hit home for Jamie. Modesto isn't that far from Napa, and Jamie identified pretty strongly with what Sharon Rocha was going through. In light of what I've since learned about what my ex was ( Read more... ) -
Thanks a lot, Verizon
Last night I unplugged my cell phone from its charger, only to have it suddenly go from almost full to totally empty. I tried plugging it back in several times ... same thing happened. I'd been thinking of switching providers for some time, since I'd seen a lot of people on my side of town with AT&T. Believe it or not, there are several parts of ( Read more... ) -
Wow, it's been awhile
I know, it's been some time since I've posted. But unfortunately, I hadn't planned on staying quiet this long ( Read more... ) -
Standing up for Je ...er, free speech
I know, I know, I haven't opened my big mouth in awhile. But believe me, it isn't by choice. As most of you know, I'm going through a divorce. I'm afraid to say anything that my soon-to-be ex could used to try and wring money out of me. Hey, when you're dealing with a woman who wouldn't think anything of telling a 15-year-old girl to lie under ( Read more... )
