Moving...with a baby...in excessively humid 97 degree weather...with hardly any help...is a unique form of torture. The past couple days have been unbelievably stressful & I can't wait until it's over. I've done most of the packing myself because Bruce has been working. He tried to get a day off but couldn't because it was short notice. Plus, ( Read more... )

Oh, the joys & comforts of moving. I was up packing until midnight last night. Managed to get most of the kitchen packed up. Forgot to leave at least one cooking implement. Scrambled eggs are a little tricky to make in an electric wok, but they turned out ok. We took a load of boxes over before Bruce had to go to work & got most of the kitchen ( Read more... )

I'm about to set my car on fire. It's giving me trouble...AGAIN. It won't start. It's not the battery cause everything else is working. I think it's something tied in with the stupid ass backwards fucked up alarm system & the starter. We were going to do laundry this morning. Got the car all loaded up with laundry baskets & baby, then the ( Read more... )

Thinking about him a lot today. I wish there was something I could do...like erect a monument. Instead all I can do is sit around & listen to songs that remind me...

I went to a terribly talented girl yesterday who fixed (as best as it could be) the catastrophy on my head. I've never had a stylist take their time the way she did...even stopping a few times to consult with her mentor/salon owner to get his opinion...& every once in a while going, "oh you poor thing." Nearly 2 hours later, I left with a ( Read more... )

I have an appointment for next Wed. with what is supposed to be a very good stylist. That's the earliest I could get in, so maybe that's a good sign. So I have to live with this trainwreck on my head for another week. I need to go buy some headbands or something. Maybe a giant Carmen Miranda style hat piled high with fruit. Yeah...that'd take ( Read more... )

On Sat. I got perhaps one of the worst haircuts of my entire life. It's unbelievably fucked up. I cried for hours. Then I tried to fix it for hours & I'm not sure if it's better or worse now. Why does this always happen to me? I don't get it. I've been going to the same woman for a few years now & she usually does a decent job, but the last ( Read more... )

Zoe figured out how to roll over onto her stomach all by herself today! She never used to like being on her stomach, but she seems to like it if she's the one putting herself there. And she has the strongest little legs! She can stand up if you hold on to her a bit for balance. Her new favorite thing is her Jumperoo. They should make those ( Read more... )

That fabulous red couch we bought a few weeks ago turned out to be the sofa of Satan. A few hours after they delivered it, we realized that we were turning pink. Small breakdown ensued, because we got it at the clearance center & it's an "all sales are final" kinda place & we're thinking we just blew close to $500 & we'd have to buy another couch ( Read more... )
