Just hearing the beginning of this song, makes my heart fill with utter joy. Not sure why. Maybe it reminds me of their shows. Don't matter. I <3 it!

As of next week, I'll have been working at my temp gig for six months.  Six of the longest months imaginable.  Fifty hour work weeks, meetings up the yinyang, car breaking down regularly, parents' health in the toilet, family falling apart... yeah... not a typical year for the Sunbun ( Read more... )

Its so funny... I have ended quite a few poisonous relationships over the past two years of my life, and every single one of those people have insisted that I think everything is all about me.  Initially, the intent of those words worked like a charm.  I was very hurt.  I would obsess over how utterly incorrect that statement was and baffled beyond ( Read more... )

Normally, this show bugs the crap out of me because the star of the show is one of those "look how unrealistically perfect I am" kind of people.  But like always, I find myself wanting to peel layers back to see what's really going on in a situation and have done so with "Semi-Homemade: With Sandra Lee ( Read more... )

It's not just the act of getting married, mind you.  The more I look at the wedding paraphernalia I've amassed over the decades, the more I realize it's more about a certain level of decoration, personalization and artistic details ( Read more... )

Last night was the service award dinner at the company where I've been working for the last five years.  Four days before before they literally hand me my severance, I was awarded a five-year pin with a famous cartoon dog on it, and hugs from the two women directly responsible for my being unemployed as of Friday.  To say that the night was surreal ( Read more... )

Since September 7th, I've been hosting a friend from England that I met through a dating site.  No.  Of course, it's not a man.  I never met a decent man on one of those sites.  I did, however make a few good friends and Michaela appears to be one of them ( Read more... )
