Hello everyone ( Read more... )

It was a wonderful few days - an evening with Nicole and Jill followed by a fabulous and relaxing morning at home, a lovely drive down to Roanoke with perfect company, friends, fun, laughter, beautiful food, beautiful people, and beautiful smiles with Annie, Nanda, and Laura, who never fail to take my breath away by their absolute wonderfulness, ( Read more... )

Abbie slept over last night and is still asleep (I don't blame her - we were up until 3am chatting, eating popcorn, and watching movies). It was very nice, very comfortable and wonderful. I love that I still am friends with Abbie and know all about her life and can kind of slip into a self that doesn't need explaining or revealing in any way, but ( Read more... )

After trying to do some pleasure reading and sort of falling asleep with the dog on my lap, I am now alone in my bedroom trying to find something interesting to do. It is Mother's Day, and so my mother is downstairs playing spider solitaire on the computer because she is addicted and figures ( Read more... )

Oh dear. Yesterday I just about exploded out of stress. I have no reason to be stressed, it's just one of those things. I can definately get everything done, but I have this achy feeling in my gut that says I can't, or at least not well, or that teases me and says, "na na na boo boo, you can't do anything well, stupid". Well too bad, gut, I'm ( Read more... )

A quick before bed update:

This is just to say that staying up late isn't so bad if you have someone to stay up with, but I am very glad to be going to bed with most of one of my papers written...mmmmm....goodnight everyone and sweet dreams.

Good morning everyone ( Read more... )
