Sunday night it occured to me that I am suffering from emotional ADD.  As soon as I identify the emptieness that I am feeling and call it something, I'm on to the next feeling.  Just as the tears spring to my eyes as "Some Devil" comes on while I traverse the Thurston Ave bridge, I'm not sad anymore, I'm angry.  And as soon as I am screaming with ( Read more... )

Hannah:  "And then he said, well what about XXY?"  
Me:  "Well, what exactly is XXY?"
Caroline:  "Turner's Syndrome."

Hannah:  "Anyone want a cheesestick?"
Me:  "I think the combination of a milkshake and a cheesestick is so much dairy that I'll actually turn into a cow."
EJ:  *takes cheesestick*  "Moo!"

I love it when one of the weirdest days of my life turns into a great night! 

I can honestly say that this has been the best summer of my adult life.  And just in time too.

Steely Dan Concert:  Was fabulous, much better than last summer's.  Things felt better between Donald and Walter and the smaller venue made everything that much better.

Weirdest series of dreams.  First, Darth Vader (yes, Darth Vader) beat me up, or something and I was lying on the floor of this house all bruised.  He told me to come down to the basement so he could tourture me further, but I fell asleep.  He came up and told me to get downstairs because he wanted to put logs (or like halves of logs) in my wounds ( Read more... )

Possible title for my book:  The Accidental Virgin:  The Tales of a Good Girl Pretending to be a Bad Girl, Pretending to be a Good Girl.

A little long, but I like it.  It was a just before falling asleep discovery.  The good news is Monday after my rant, I got a card (in the shape of a pickle!)  in the mail from none other than Mr. Andy Stud-Pants ( Read more... )

Last night was fun, played board games with Fred and Joe until all hours of the night (okay more like until midnight.)  Today Fred and I went to see Grandma because she had to turn in her license plates and neither of her kids would take her so we volunteered.  We were heading into lunch when Grandma missed the curb and fell.  Luckily, she's okay ( Read more... )

Well, we got lost, again.   Make that 36 years in a row.  Even without Grandpa we still managed to get lost in New Canaan.  I have a feeling he was up there changing the signs just to confuse us and even if he wasn't, I know he was laughing with us.  But when we finally got there, it was a very pleasant visit.  Barbara and Tom were at a wedding and ( Read more... )
