Yes. I have a car. A citizen stealth mobile like nothing I ever thought about. It does not roar. It is not made of tons of American steel. It is not the beautifully restored Barracuda of my dreams. But it is a fancy car that currently drives like a dream. It purrs....extremely quietly ( Read more... ) -
it's official
weepy, insecure, lonely, crazy Shannon has re-emerged
not to be melodramatic, but I have many, many friends. I am lucky and blessed and grateful.
I have only one boo. Have you met him?? Try this for starters.

whining
OK - this year has been kicking my ass. This is the second round of the death plague cold in 6 months and both my mental state and my paychecks cannot handle it anymore. I was sent home today, rightfully - by my own employees. I'm between insurance companies, since I forced my boss to get me better insurance...so I'm in the grey area between the ( Read more... ) -
Beware!
Tonight my boo took me driving. Yep - you read that right. Driving. Some of you know why that's such a big deal to me and it was scary....but I did not panic. In fact, I didn't even panic when he tricked me out of the designated deserted spot and into the traffic of West Oakland Bart. Nor did I panic when I realized that I could easily rear end ( Read more... ) -
the hallmark holiday

It's true what they say - you can never relive your childhood again. Some of that is good...other times you will suddenly find yourself sitting on the couch at midnight watching the remake of Fame just hoping that it would ever come close to what an Epic show/movie it was when you were young.
(And by the way, as strict as my parents were, apparently ( Read more... ) -
little known facts
One of my best friends is a Catholic soldier in the army from New Jersey who I've never truly met and this marks the only time we've been in the same time zone...however, he's in Seattle. So if you can think of anywhere he should go while hes there or you want to show him around - he's there for the next 2 1/2 days. I'll send you his number if you ( Read more... ) -
perspective
Today I glimpsed what my future could have been. The pretty town in the hills with the mountains of convenience showcased by every single chain store on the planet in row upon row of strip mall...the minivans full of baby on board plaques bracketed by NRA stickers, driven by old women disguised as aging homecoming queens with ponytails and fading ( Read more... )
