My party will be the usual Friday night thing with you guys this year.  I'm thinking 7:00, and I guess we'll do the pot luckish thing again, if that works for everyone.

For the love of Pete, if you can't afford to get me a gift, don't get me one.  No one understands more than me right now, trust me.  However, for peeps who need some ideas, here's my ( Read more... )

Just wanted to give a shout out to my girls,

Yesterday I had the honor and privilege of taking a six hour intensive bellydance workshop with three of the greatest dancers in the tribal fusion world (okay, more like the two best and one of the other really good ones).  I got to work with my idol, Rachel Brice, which was the greatest highlight of my dance career thus far.

Last night I dropped a big heavy thing on my toe from about three feet up, and now it's all bruised and swollen, and it hurts like a mofo.  I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to dance on it tonight.  This was about the last thing in the world that I needed.  I was freaking out enough without an injury!   Blah!

So, my grandma spent two weeks in the hospital earlier this month, was out for a week, and is now back in for who knows how long.  I don't get paid when she is in the hospital, so this has been a hardship, to say the least ( Read more... )

My grandmother, who just got out of the hospital last Monday,  went back in today.  She just recovered from a bad fall (miraculously, and for the umpteenth time), and this morning, woke up with pneumonia.  I had to leave the office to go to her house and try to get her out of bed, which I couldn't do.  She couldn't even sit up.  She kept insisting ( Read more... )

In light of a recent and incredibly difficult Fibromyalgia flare up, I thought I would post this to help people understand a little better.  I feel very lonely and isolated going through these things, and don't know how make my family and friends realize my limitations.  I hope this gives a bit of insight.  If you take the time to read it, I am ( Read more... )
