On Wednesday night Cousin J and I (and my sister and her friend) went to see Kelly Clarkson.  It was raining and the concert was outdoor.  Luckily it stayed (almost) dry the short hour she took to the stage.  She's got an amazing voice and she can really belt out a tune as well as bring it down soulful and beautiful...but a highlight for me was two ( Read more... )

Today was one of those days that makes you regret the decisions you make.  What an overwhelming and too long day!  There's too much to know, to many lists to check off, too many faces to remember.  I know there are and always will be bad days but man I don't handle them well.  So I nestle into a shit mood and sink so deep that I'm pissed at the ( Read more... )

Cousin J, Shane and I attended Sunday night’s Madonna concert at the infamous venue Madison Square Garden.  Sold out-packed house.  Of course, as I’d heard, the air conditioning was off and the joint was HOT HOT HOT.  J and I were hot as we entered the building and struggled with the crowd to make souvenier purchases.  J got the overpriced shirt ( Read more... )

This weekend went slow...like incredibly slow...like slow motion slow...and you are wrong if you think that's a bad thing.  I live for a long weekend.  I appreciate a long, slow day.  I accomplished much and spent a good deal of money I don't have getting some new tires (with a quickie road trip coming up), but I didn't actually interact with ( Read more... )

Friday was my last day at my job.  I have such wild emotions about the whole thing.  It was an immensely sad day.  I have to say, this job has brought me some absolutely amazing friends. People always say they will keep in touch, and while that may  not have been true for some of them, there are other's there who will be my cherished friends for ( Read more... )

Yesterday I pulled into a gas station and heard a considerable amount of yelling.  One young man was standing by the garage doors at the station screaming at an older man who was at a pump, pumping gas into his car.  The woman accompanying the older man at the pump was standing as a barrier between the two men, even though there was at least 20 ( Read more... )

I want to update...I sit and occassionally think of things that I would like to write about...sometimes they are witty, sometimes serious, sometimes they resemble the cry-baby rants of my recent passed...but when I sit here to actually update...I'm blank.

I'm watching the Tonys...that's not a good thing.

This is my last week of work.  Tomorrow is my ( Read more... )

There is a Christian Center around the corner from my house.  Out  in front they have a sign where they post sometimes serious, sometimes overly religious preaching, sometimes witty, comments for the passers-by.  I have mentioned these on at least one occassion, when after more then two weeks of rain they posted a help-wanted ploy for arc builders ( Read more... )

This morning on Good Morning America there was a psychologist, I believe her to be the woman who frequents Oprah’s show…Dr. Robin Somethingorother.  Anyway, she wrote a book about marriage and the realities of marriage.  Not shockingly she stated that many people look at marriage as a magic fixer; that things they don’t like about a partner will ( Read more... )

Yesterday I received a phone call from my Dad.  He was driving my brother to a soccer game.  He asked me where the field was, as I had once brought my brother to that same field.  He then proceeded to say, “Well that’s not why I called, I was calling to see about the job situation.”  I told him that I gave my notice on Friday and accepted the day ( Read more... )
