The beagle people
D and I walked the boys last night. There’s a house, pink and boxy, where a beagle lived. The parents, a husky man with a quick smile and a woman with a delicate frame, marveled at our boys. Their beagle didn’t like other dogs, lease of all ours. But I remember those chocolate eyes within [...]
Tofurkey Day through Monday
The weekend was too short. I am sure that many people feel that way, but my Sunday felt too colored by blue. D and I tried to combat that by going to the Aloma Cinema and Grill (not a bad place to see a movie!) for a little Casino Royale action. Frankie mentioned the uneven [...]
The Letter and other stories
On Friday a letter arrived. My birthdaughter’s script decorated the pink envelope. Strange. I hadn’t heard from her in months. The letter’s contents disturbed me. She’ turning 13 in January and struggling through adolescent stresses. Friends and boyfriends. Parents who seem to be working against her. It’s not uncommon for her to rail against her [...]
Battlecrack and the best class
Last night I muddled through another grammar class. It’s been hell and I feel like I’m not getting it. We were writing sentence examples on the board. Dr. Laws asked me to write one of my examples. There were comments on my handwriting. Well, they were compliments. I informed the class that my handwriting masked [...]
Punkin Carving Gathering
When: Saturday, October 28th – 9:00ish ****I had to fix the date **** Why: Carving pumpkins and drinking Shipyard Pumpkin ale What to bring: One punkin, a chair (we are out of lawn chairs) D and I are going to supply happy vegetarian snacks (Sorry Anne, no hot dogs this time! some shipyard ale, cutting [...]
Recap
I am not hiding anything on this blog. I fill the pixels with TMI, emotive responses and concerns. I remind my dear readers of my mantra “If you come, you read, but I don’t justify.” Oops – I wrote a whole part about something very embarrassing that happened to me, but I deleted it. Some [...]
Meebome
If you look on the left side of my page –pointing all flight attendant-like– you will see the updated meebome widget-thingy. They updated it so that you can now choose the colors and the size. Now it blends rather than distracts. Oh, and if you choose to IM me through this – please rename the [...]
The smoofie gone wrong
So, I’m out of bananas. Not a catastrophic thing, but very annoying. I didn’t really have enough for the afternoon smoothie, so I used a mosty rip unfrozen one. That didn’t have the same effect and made the smoothie watery. Fuck. And I had a back-up plan for the morning smoothie, but I still don’t [...]
Back out of balance
I’m taking it in stride, the emotional, scholarly and physical challenges that have been cropping up. I don’t trust anything right now. School is fucking with my head (I ran out of money from the Stafford loan and have to borrow additional monies outside of school) and the continue limbo with my grade really makes [...]
Family Extension, Expectation
I started this some months ago, but I finished it today…obviously it was meant to be bisected by time and experience. What is it worth? This bind comes from an accidental consequence. Then, for a lifetime, we are family. But what does that bond allow? And is walking away from yet another family member wise? [...]
I have a Pebl and it’s not a stone
I don’t know why, but when I said that last night, I amused the hell out of myself. D and I got phones and a new cell provider last night. He opted for the smooth and spacy Razr, and I got the Pebl. The round, smooth shape got me. That, and I could get the [...]
Tali tried to steal my man…kinda
I had this seriously twisted dream that Tali made D break up with me so that they could date. She ordered me out of my own home (it was some strange apartment that I’ve never lived in during the waking world) and then they went off to take a shower. David hung a note on [...]
I’m going to drive a U-haul and other stories
My birthday bash is going to be delayed in order to help out a friend in need. We are going to get together at Babbo’s for dinner on August 5th. Then we are going to the booby-bar. Now, if you plan on going, let me know a little early as we are going to have [...]
Luis and the new blanket
I met Luis in 1997.I felt his eyes on me as I shelved the History section in Borders. The conversation began easily. The immediate attraction lead to a quick roll in the sack. He liked my ass and my long, long hair. I loved his eyes and his wicked, mischievous smile. We smoked pot, and [...]
Blast from the Past and Metroblogging
A long time ago in a South Florida, far far away, I went by the name “Q”. I was a regular in a few select chatrooms on AOL via accounts that were….uhm… borrowed. Throughout those years I met a lot of amazing people, did a lot of drugs, and laughed hard enough to make me [...]
The conversation that won’t happen
How do you feel about your family? Not just sections of them, but all of them. Do they make you feel loved? Are they there for you? Do they celebrate your accomplishments? Are you in love with the idea of family more than the people themselves? Do they live up to your expectations? Do they [...]
1001 Posts for you and you and you
After thought and consideration, I’ve decided that this site needs some honesty. I started blogging to find my own voice and I swim in the darker corners of myself in order to understand my own inner workings. If that elucidates a response from strangers and the known participants in my life – then that’s just [...]
My head is full of cotton
I am sick. I brought back some mutant bug from Colorado and I feel like dried poop. The trip brought to light some of the less than wonderful aspects of my family, but it felt good to see them. I think more than anything I realize that we are not the unit we used to [...]
The day before tomorrow
Finally spoke with Alexis last night. It doesn’t matter what kind of a mood I am in (I was in a great mood because I got an A on my midterm in N. Ren), she makes me happier. My sister is gleeful. That’s really the only way I can describe it. She’s gleefully stubborn. When [...]
The Last Semester
My insider got a copy (a working copy) of the fall schedule. I am going to take Edititng Essentials and Geosphere. I would love to take Bioshphere but it’s a Monday/Wednesday class and my Editing class is on that Wednesday. The Geosphere will be Tuesday/Thursday. I don’t know what the last class will be, but [...]
