I've been reading and keeping up with all of you, I just haven't felt much like writing. Sorry it's been so long- it's been a really hard month (6 months/year). My father died 3 weeks ago. We were not expecting it at all. I mean, we knew he was sick and I think we all figured that this was going to kill him, but had no idea it was going to happen ( Read more... )

meh. life is crazy. we are moving over the next few weeks, my parents are probably moving soon, between work and other nonsense, I have like no time for school, I have been eating like shit, I have not done ANY packing, our new apartment is AMAZING, we are getting new windows too but I don't know when?, our ct landlord is ignoring us so we have to ( Read more... )

Just wanted to post a quick update.

I picked up my sister Friday and took her to Julian's. She liked it very much. We met my mom at the hospital around 1 to see my dad- he was doing a bit better- much more engaging and coherent than Thursday. Wendy and I took Mom to the Olive Garden for a belated birthday dinner (since it was last Saturday and my ( Read more... )

I was without internerd for about a month, but we have it back now. Got rid of our home phone and switched to cable- hurrah! I've been having a marvelous summer so far. Not getting to the beach nearly enough, but I hope to fix that. I went with Desiree last week and the week before- what fun we had!!!!!!! Somehow the hours seem to flyyyy on by when ( Read more... )

This week is/is going to be a good one. Yesterday, I finished painting Rachel's room- I painted it beige. Boring, but practical. For a room we barely use, at least I don't have to deal with it when we move out. I think the only other room I'll repaint is this one (the computer room)- I doubt my landlord or the new tenants will like mustard yellow. ( Read more... )

I'm feeling very restless tonight. I napped earlier today for awhile, and now I'm in that sort of sleepy but not tired fidgety state. Meh. I've been reading a lot lately- I read an entire book over the course of Sunday and Monday- The Liars' Club by Mary Karr. Now I'm reading another of her memoirs, Cherry. I really like her stuff. It's got some ( Read more... )

I know, I know, I always do this. I never update consistently. Well, here's the newest in a long list of "I haven't written in forever"s.

So, life has been sucking ass in many ways.

Not only does my sister have cancer, but my brother and father do too. And they will all have it for the rest of their lives. And there's no telling how long that will ( Read more... )

Well, sort of.... I didn't want to leave Vegas. I liked it a lot. The weather was amazing while we were there. We did a lot of walking. I really enjoyed the trip. For a play by play synopsis,
click me! So, our flight out of Warwick was great- I was terrified because it's been so long since I flew, and it was a teeny 50-seat plane, but it was ( Read more... )
