I absolutely loathe Mother's Day, for many reasons.  I don't want to say it on Facebook, but I need to say it somewhere.  How sad that something so miserable is what finally brought me back to LiveJournal.  FUCK YOU, MOTHER'S DAY.

Sometimes I sort of play around with the idea of starting a blog, and then I think, "Why in the world would I do that?".
I don't have much of interest to say, in the first place, but let's be realistic...it would end up being just one more thing that I intended to maintain and then forgot about, and then remembered now and then just often enough to ( Read more... )

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to come back to Live Journal in 2010.  I had thought there would be time enough for both LJ and Facebook, but as it turned out, FB used up all my social networking time.  I think part of that was because it was a year of SO MANY reconnections, and there aren't too many people from my past or present left that I ( Read more... )

Please to be enjoying these album covers.  I found them greatly amusing:

It won't stop raining here.  People have died in the floods.  Trees are falling.  Canopies over gas station pumps are collapsing under the weight of the water.  Trailer homes, buses and cars are being swept into rivers and streams like ( Read more... )

Over the past year or two, I feel like I have become a very different person than I was the other 37-38 years.  I am not sure yet if this is a good or bad thing.  The other day I let a woman have it in the bakery of our grocery store, and while she deserved it, today I wonder if I went too far?  Did I go far enough?  Should I have always let every ( Read more... )

My 51 year old co-worker, who, much to my chagrine, enjoyed speaking EXTENSIVELY about politics during the months leading up to, and after the election, who voiced many strong opinions about this and that, just asked me this (a direct quote):

"Is Obama a Republican?"

"No."

"So does that mean that McCain [the one she voted for, btw] was a Republican?"

Just received an email from a friend about her 40th birthday party that had been scheduled for June 20th.   Was not expecting her to say it had been cancelled because she just found out she has breast cancer, and will be having a double mastectomy on June 16th ( Read more... )

On Sunday I told him, "Don't eat all the cheese, it will make you constipated ( Read more... )

Been busy, busy, busy lately, but not in only bad ways, which is so refreshing.  We went to Savannah for a glorious wedding thrown by a family with big bucks, and it sort of blew my mind in the best possible way.  I want more of Savannah ASAP, with a fat side order of Tybee Island, which turned out to be only another 20 minutes away, so we popped ( Read more... )

You never really realize just how many beads are on a necklace until you are trying to pick them all up off the floor.

This was once my mother's necklace, and I'm sure she only paid a few dollars for it sometime inthe '80s or '90s - it wasn't heirloom quality  or particularly special - but I'm kicking myself anyway for snapping the thread.  I don' ( Read more... )
