My eyes greeted Christmas morning filled with heavy tears, as the once joyous carol rang out from the main room. As my father said last night, “I’m not so much sad, as I am empty and without any type of understanding”.

I was hoping that I could handle my sorrow with grace and dignity; I wanted to be the pillar of strength for my family. He was ( Read more... )

Goodbye, my love.

Well, it’s 12:52am on a Monday morning or Sunday night (however your biological clock runs) - and I feel inspired. Inspired to type - I want to say ‘write’, but I think that writing and typing are emotionally different processes of expression - but we can get to that another time.

Why am I inspired? Well I’m halfway through an incredible new book ( Read more... )

Him or Her?

1. Who eats more? Depends, but usually him.

2. Who said "I love you" first? Me.

3. Who is the morning person? Him! (he runs at 5am!! Yowsers).

4. Who sings better? We avoid that kind of behaviour. It’s not good for anyone.

5. Who’s older? He is … a towering 9 months.

6. Who’s smarter? I’m smart enough not to comment, cause that’s mean.

Hello my friends. LJ says that it's been nearly 3 months since my last posting !! Could it really be!? I have felt slightly out of the loop lately, but that's mostly been self inflicted, so ....

Okie guys - I know it's not Jan 1st yet. But I'm laying out my Goals for 2008, so that I can start working on them now.

1 - Have lost 45lbs in time for Amanda's wedding. (I'm already down 12 lbs... so this is reasonable). Only 33 left to go.

2 - Do a "Try-a-Tri" Triathalon in spring of 2008, with a full "Sprint" Triathalon by early fall of 2008. [ ( Read more... )

... but I've never done it before. The problem with this big decision is that it doesn't seem difficult, which is why after all this time I'm worried.

Sorry for being so cryptic, but out of respect for those involved, I can't just come out and explain it all ... I'll update everyone as time progresses.

But as of right now, I'm not happy and ( Read more... )

I am thinking about planning a trip to Europe for a month... or two.

I'm estimating summer 2009 as a go-time.

Currently I'm big on ... Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Greece, Germany, France, Spain, Portugual.

This is all very conceptual mind you - I do have other priorities, such as debt repayment (well on its way) and breast implants (not kidding).

So ( Read more... )

Well my beautiful friends - I wanted to let you in on a secret.

Curses work!

DNV collapsed in a pile of bricks yesterday - moments before I walked past!!

You heard it hear first - I cursed that God-forsaken rat hole of a bar a million times over. I wished that it would fall to pieces or burn to ashes, and I blamed it for a solid majority of the ( Read more... )
