We've missed a year of tropical storms, mosquitoes, palmetto bugs, opossums (sort of...they have them in OR too), shitty drivers, rising crime, and bazillion dollar electric bills from running the AC. And on many fronts, a year of ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2286 D and I are going to spend the 4th, on the river with a bajillion other folks. I love blues. I wanted to go to a Blues bar when I was in Chicago a few years ago, but never had the chance. But the blues found me in Portland, and ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2285 I need to know by the end of today. I spoke with the lady from Spirit Cruises.

We would all have to call in with our credit cards to reserve seats and the price would go up because of ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2284 He dealt with Valentine pissing in the house, in my Chrome bag, in the sink. And I thanked him profusely for giving the cat his meds. Val uses his claws, and tore the hell out of D's arm. D vacuumed before I got home, and is generally an all around ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2282 Heading home tomorrow.... and I am happy about it. But it's been a great residency.

Lauderdale, and had both the boys I was dating ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2280 So, I've not had the opportunity to get on the internets at school as I had planned. The wireless system isn't the best and since I wiped the Mac, I need to get my laptop all shiny with the network. I hate IT. So, I haven't done a thing to ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2279 Flight leaves at 10. I will meet my schoolmates around 11 tomorrow morning. I just realized how much I've missed them.

We found Trebol, I ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2275 I finally got home around 11 last night. Our flight arrived in Seattle at 6, and then my angelic husband drove up to Tacoma to pick me up. Alexis wasn't in any shape to drive. It felt lovely to sleep in my own home, to actually sleep, not just to ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2273 I'm still here. Freezing, tired, unloved by my airline (we won't get off the ground until 9:30am), and in dire need of a good shower and some understanding. And btw, don't try to skeep on the floor - it just doesn't work. I should have known we were in trouble ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2271 Lex and I are sitting in Charlotte's Airport, unsure as to when we are leaving. Due to inclement weather @ JFK, they have grounded all inbound flights for an additional hour and a half. This very well could effect our connection, because we only had a half hour layover @ ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2270 Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there... I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow... I am the diamond glints on snow... I am the sunlight on ripened grain... I am the gentle autumn rain. When you waken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of gentle ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2268 He had one of “those” laughs that made you want to laugh too. It was an undertow of joy, and no matter how grumpy I was, he still made me smile. http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2267 Grannie's best friend, breast cancer took you. Your ashes scattered in the Keys, my grandparents will follow you. I loved your scarves when you went through chemo, and miss your smile http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2266 The Bad (get it out of the way so there's plenty of room for the good: My Grannie will be gone soon. My mother is dealing with the death of her mother, a divorce, and uncertain work future and carrying the weight of dealing with an entire family's load of issues. My Budokan ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2265 Lex and I fly out of Seattle on Saturday night. We get home on Wednesday. They are taking her off the respirator on Friday night.

The good thing is ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2263 Lex - because there is no one else in the world I would rather go through this with.

I'm still going to be your partner extroidairre, or how ever you spell that ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2262 Slacker, I know you read this on occasion. Don’t let your head get big, but you were my best boss ever. If only my current employer could take lessons from you. http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2261 You've become what I never expected - wife & mother, but you were with me through the same journey, sans baby, so I should have known. Thanks for keeping in touch.. http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2260 I think Summer forgot to come to the upper NW, because the high was 56 yesterday. I'm not bitching, it's just wierd to think that the East Coast is boiling in 100 degree weather and I am as cool as a cucumber, with happy sweaters and thick socks. Today's blessing - ... http://www.moodymeow.com/archives/2259
