Guys, I don't know what it is.  But, whenever I have to wait for something to go through, I get a sinking feeling that something is going to go wrong.  The girls and I have had to deal with so much heaping helpings of nonsense with the divorce, and just survival in Philly, that I think we could all use a new start.  So, everyone keep me in your ( Read more... )

Wow!  It's been a LOOOONG time since I updated my LJ.  So, thought I'd stop by and update and see if any of my friends are still alive over here.

Show some love, peeps.

My life has been essentially turned upside down.

Jen is my best friend.  She's going through a hard time -- and I have been there for her.  We have always been very different and yet so much alike.  Ha -- it's really kind of funny, because lately, I've felt something of a change come over me.  A huge part of this is Jen's example and free spirit.  ( Read more... )

So -- I just re-hired my personal trainer.  No -- I can't afford him.  And, yes, Bally's charges WAAAAY to much.  But, this is the guy who helped me get this far.  Because of him, hopefully, by the Spring, I will be in good enough shape to start training in Aikido ( Read more... )

She's a pretty little black and ( Read more... )

Today...

...is a day we feel and think so many things

...is a day when we all see it happening, again, in our minds and all around us, and feel it, heavy, in our hearts

So, here's a question for all of my fantabulously photographically enabled friends ( Read more... )

Kayla was on the Mugglenet Forum and found this post about someone named Zardi -- I thought it was rotfl worthy -- it's long, so I made a cut for anyone who wants to read it -- I HIGHLY recommend it.

Crop circles are Zardi's way of telling the world that sometimes corn needs to lie down.

The Great Wall of China was originally created to keep Zardi ( Read more... )

Well, I hope everyone who got the chance enjoyed the FMA movie!  Congratulations to all who did.  And, if you did, NO spoilers, please.  I will have to wait until September 26 :(

This week looks like it is going to get very, very busy.  I am picking up overtime, again.  Now that I have lived slightly outside of my means all summer (even I should ( Read more... )
