That's irony.

I re-read that me-me, and how I am navigating this insecurity, (and using the word navigating is no accident here) and on a night like tonight I am like, WTF????

Tonight I pretty much parallel parked a 38 ft. sailboat on a dime---in one swing mind you, in front of a bunch of racers done for the evening, (one of them being my instructor ( Read more... )

My daughter wrote this last night. I want to make a joke and say "oy the pre-teen emo angst emerging" but knowing her as I do, and being a parent now, these words made gave me pause, and put myself in a child's shoes just for a moment.

Poem of a 5 year old
I wanted it badly, they said no.
But it was expensive, so I let it go

I'm not sure if anyone will understand this post or why I'm posting it, but I haven't been moved to write much in the past few months, and last night I was.

( Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate---Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it! )

I will say that this year's experience did not have the same intense "impact" that last year's walk had on me, but I think that's only natural. It was the second time around, and I knew what to expect, and what was coming. That's not to say it wasn't emotionally moving, or wonderful. Plus, I got to experience the intense joy through the eyes of ( Read more... )

There once was a girl
who had a little curl
right in the middle of her forehead.
And when she was good,
she was very, very good.
And when she was bad,
She was horrid.I come home to find you on the sofa, bare-chested and in jeans, a sight for sore eyes after a long, sad day. I plop my purse down and curl up next to you. I can't resist nuzzling ( Read more... )

I wanted to take that link out and share it here, because I actually *had* meant to narrow that list down. *sigh* That was stupid to talk about why I f-locked like that not thinking... At least I do stupid shit like that less now. LOL ( Read more... )

This is just for smooshylooshy I wasn't going to do this but I shuffled my ipod on my way home from work and got a really interesting list of tunes, LOL. There's only 10 or so though. I am to post the first line or so of the songs that came on for you to "Name that tune"! Some are really easy.

1) All I can say is that my life is pretty plain.
2) Oh my love ( Read more... )

I am at work and it's finally slow, as is the f-list. LOL Can I lure anyone out of lurkdom with a game? Long, long, ago, in a land called the Clutch, we used to challenge each other's knowledge of song lyrics. I'll start with an easy one. *g*

I've had such a long day; yet, I need to continue since I haven't all that needed to be done today. Sigh. I just needed to get that off my chest. I just read a few irritating work emails that came in tonight, and that just made me cranky. Okay, so I realize this was totally not enlightening a post but it did make me feel a bit better ( Read more... )
