Goodness My Kittens! I've been a busy, busy girl these past few weeks. I've been playing cupid amongst my friends, and they've actually had a bit of luck in love lately. I had a wedding this past weekend where I dared not to sit on the sidelines because I was Shaun-less. I danced in the conga line, gave the best toast in the history of toasts ( Read more... )

Goodness, kittens, Miss Dixi has had one crazy week! Last week (some of you may know) was the Wal-Mart annual Shareholders' Meeting where associates from all across the world come into my world and we throw a huge party, complete with Jimmy Buffett and Jon Bon Jovi! I was super-excited about seeing Jimmy, since he embodies the lifestyle that I'd ( Read more... )

Hello My Dahlings! How I've missed you so! Things have been straight up out of control in the past few weeks! I'm not entirely sure if I've written about this before, but I'm going to write about it anyway. Miss Dixi and her heterosexual life partner (Keyna=roommate)are parting ways. We've been roomies for the past seven years. She's found a ( Read more... )

Cuddling with Shaun this morning, something occurred to me. Life is Bea-utiful! How does it just know exactly what you need at any given time? It'll beat you down like a red-headed step-child, and then hold you in its arms and kiss your bumps and bruises ( Read more... )

Can you believe it! A whole Monday without one drop of drama! Well, unless you count my lunch break. On my lunch break, Keri (roomie) came to Bentonville for lunch, and only having a limited amount of time, we settled on Arby's. About halfway through our lunch we noticed a bunch of policemen in flak jackets and shotguns across the street at the ( Read more... )

There is absolutely nothing signifcant about this day. Nothing is going wrong. Nothing out of the ordinary is going on right now. I have spent the last two days simply hanging out at my house and relaxing. I went shopping,ate sushi and saw Romeo and Juliet at the University Theatre. Romeo was a total hottie! Juliet was adorable, but wasn't ( Read more... )

After a whirlwind past 48 hours, I am back in Northwest Arkansas. I had to make a quick but needed trip out to my mother's childhood home in West Texas. My great Uncle John passed on Thursday morning, and his funeral was Saturday. He was a soft spoken veteran with a great sense of humor. One of the things I'll remember most about him was that ( Read more... )

I debated about posting this entry. I know there is going to be a lot of mixed feelings on the subject and possibly even some defensive Dixi. The truth is I already know how I'm handling the situation. Approval is not needed, but acceptance and understanding is welcome ( Read more... )

Remember the cute guy I went out on a date with last week that actually pursued me, listened, talked to me about his feelings, etc. He will forever be known to me as Car jerk...just another man in this world who will never know the glory of Dixi. Why, you ask? I know, I know, you thought he was a nice guy, too. Well, I get to work on Monday, ( Read more... )

Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, but I've found that it always tends to be a day of stress for me. As I've said before, I miss Shaun like someone on the Atkins diet misses spaghetti on Sundays. It's getting a little easier every week, but sometimes I still find myself praying that he'll take the time out to drop by and acknowledge my ( Read more... )
