Were any of you ever on Livejournal? It was the perfect place to make totally navel-gazy sorts of posts and then your online friend would come and chime in. That’s how I’m feeling tonight.

I started re-watching Queer as Folk in June for Pride - sort of. (Pride made me think of it and I loved the show 18 years ago when I binged all the seasons when ( Read more... )

 Back in December, it hit me that I've been fairly self-destructive most of my life. Within reason, in a sort of suburban way, but still, making decisions that aren't good for me.  Marrying joe was one and I think I knew it at the time.  Hooking up with Sammy's father was 100% pure self destructiveness. But there have been other things...I flirted ( Read more... )

Today I picked out a window air conditioner, hauled it upstairs and installed it myself. Worth every penny and sweat drop to now be in bed and. comfortable. And the smoke from the fire is really thick. It reeks (is that spelled right? I cant remember) like an ashtray outside which just makes my little AC that much sweeter.

About three hours ago, a forest fire started about 15 miles from my house.  It's in the mountains that are on the edge of Colorado Springs.  Supposedly 150 acres burning and the fire started just 3 hours ago.  It's not actually that close to my house, but because it's on a mountain, I can see the flames as well as the smoke ( Read more... )

 I already posted on b.org but Sammy and I are headed to SF Mar 22-27. Joe is taking the other kids to FL and I don't want to stay home. But also I want to see the ocean.

But mostly I would love to meet any SF people in the area who are free.

I don't really frequent parenting boards anymore, but I'd love insight from anyone here...( this post mentions baby poop...feel free to skip )

Sammy was born yesterday at 12:03pm.  I want to write up a longer birth story soon, but the summary version is that after weeks of having "achy" type contractions, they started feeling more like cramps yesterday early in the morning.  Frisco had a good week at school and his reward was a trip to Duncan Donuts.  He was supposed to be with Joe all ( Read more... )
