i spent some time with a famous singer (no doubt his song was playing on my radio at the time!!!)  who had three sons. their house was a -mess- as if a party happened to them. for some reason, i kept feeling like it was my responsibility to clean their mess, and there were like rib bones and half-eaten things and piles of plates of stuff and ugh!

~straaaangeness is happening with my phoooooone. doot doot doooooo.~  something is seriously screwed with this phone of ours. oh, well! we'll figure it out.  in the meanwhile, molly sleeps so loud. she is the snoringest tiny dog in the WORLD.  today is trash day, so yknow, that stuff is all outside.  and i'm supposed to be talking to melani for ( Read more... )

kel and i were sprawling on her bed after st. patrick's night dinner - doing the usual talking about sap, sap and more sap, and also other things (read: very little else) this was before the ecclesiastes reading and stuff, when i was doing a lot of thinkingness and sounding off to her and listening to her take on things. but, so, i have been ( Read more... )

been mostly thinking about dan and darlene. i read ecclesiastes overnight and it was a good, good thing that i did so. it happens to be my favorite book in the bible. i still like the jesus stories and the noah stuff and moses memories, it's just that ecclesiastes feels like something that comes straight from my center of my being, on the whole, ( Read more... )

thank you, internet, for hosting the few shows hopper and i watch with any regularity. our cable is turned off as of today - and i am so not complaining since we've used it for free for over a year as we were told it "came with the house." i kind of figured it hadn't, but i didn't do any digging, i just appreciated the time we had with it.  so, ( Read more... )

i can't seem to get started with work today. i poked at a friend's resume, but she's not around to go over it with me - so it is futile to attempt a rewrite. and i have some writing i can do. it's sitting just over there. and i have some classified ads i can be browsing for more work. they're a click away.  and my mood is more like i could get in ( Read more... )

getting out to have fun with suzette and company was fun last night. we had a good time. there were lots of people to visit and meet, and there was singing karaoke and birthday stuff. i think she enjoyed her night, which was the point of it all. today is my cousin's bday, but he's in mass so all i can do is send greetings and wishes. i'm not sure i ( Read more... )

hopper's grade school started us off, and now we celebrate 3.14 each year with πday.  our tradition includes making a chocolate pudding pie (papa jim's favorite pie) and sometimes other pies when we're celebrating with a bunch of other people.  for us, it's just the chocolate one with some cool whip on top - fast and easy to make and set up, and it ( Read more... )

sleepless, sleepless, sleepless and with days full of things to do.  so, i purposely stayed awake today so i could sleep tonight. i took a warm shower, got myself relaxed, was settling into bed and then molly started freaking out in her cage. by the time i got to her, she'd thrown up everywhere. i've since taken her out several times and she doesn' ( Read more... )

not sleeping. i believe that when stress stuff thins out i will be able to sleep and everything. i tried tonight, and with near success three times, but then my mom called. and then she called back asking me to sing to her (she wasn't feeling well) and then hopper came into my room, unable to sleep and wanting to talk about word origins and books ( Read more... )
