Writer's Block: Home sweet hometown
I grew up in what most would call the "hood" of a city. There were sirens and gunfire going off all over the streets. I remember that after nightfall we were not allowed to be in the front room in case a stray bullet came through. And we weren't allowed to look out the window if we heard someone screaming. My father was really brave and ( Read more... ) -
Moving on up!
Life has been rather crazy lately. I have yet to sleep in past nine in the morning even on a weekend *laughs* and that is still something I am trying to adapt to since I am such a night owl. Andrew has learned that his best chances of survival in the mornings right now are for him to always have coffee, sugar and creamer on hand at all times. He ( Read more... ) -
Forwards on text messages
Call me an OCD patient when it comes to this but I really really hate when I get a truckload of forwards on my phone yet that person won't call or anything to say "What's up". Carrie does it a lot and it tends to irritate me and when I tell her to stop sending me shit if she ain't gonna have a conversation with me she knows to check in and give me ( Read more... ) -
Seeing a Star Shine

The second is that I need to fix or ( Read more... ) -
It's my birthday
Today was the first time for Trin to be with me for my birthday. I am not that difficult to please when it comes to times like these and I think I amazed her a bit in that. The Soto's had a bbq for me and Claudia made one of her amazing cakes (chocolate of course). It was covered it whipped cream and strawberries and absolutely divine. I got to ( Read more... ) -
The Mouse arrives
So a week ago Trin arrived in California with her daughter to meet and stay with me. I was anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time. I didn't know what to do with myself. I knew I should have packed but I just couldn't get myself together long enough to pack anything significant. I started to but then had to unpack it to use it on one ( Read more... )
