When my college friend called the other day he mentioned something about a friend of his who liked me and wanted my telephone number, he mumbled a little about him and I agreed he could pass on my number, in truth I wasn’t really thinking at the time. His friend just called my mobile. We chatted for around 10 minutes; he wants to take me out for a meal. Apparently he’s been my secret admirer for
(edit: I just realized, I wrote the first half last night, and saved it to my drafts. Here it is completed! <3)I am a sleepy girl.BUT, I am determined to stay awake and finish a painting! All the while, watching Nip/Tuck. I am borderline obsessed with this show. During the operating scenes, I can’t lie.. I do turn my head, and only listen. Usually blood doesn’t frighten me, but go
I absolutely should not write this, but it’s such a funny story I can’t resist. To protect the dignity of certain people I will try to tell it in a roundabout, yet compelling way.Recently my family helped another family move. To say “thank you” to us, the other family wanted to take us out for pizza. We got to the restaurant (which, fortunately, was empty) and the five adu
Let me pose some questions that hover over my mind as I navigate life, and lead my children and my extended family, and my friends towards the fulfillment of their place on this plane.Freedom, to me, is the empowerment I have in my daily being to exercise absolute control over how I respond to whatever the day throws at me.NO ONE CAN TAKE THIS POWER OF CHOICE FROM ME!I OWN IT!Now I didn’t j
I moved out the San Jose, CA in 2005 to do the Americorps program City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley. There I met Veronica Ruiz, who was at the time working in recruitment for the program. After I graduated from the 10-month program, I met Mark Hennessey. Mark had transferred to San Jose to work in City Year after being a program manager for City Year in Boston, MA. I stayed local and connec
Is the Jehovah Moses speaks of the Heavenly Father of Jesus? “You Have Heard it said”One of Jesus main teachings and actions, something that made Jesus stand out among Teachers was his teaching and demonstration of love not only for friends but also of his enemies. Jesus said in his famous Sermon on the Mount: “You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBO
This weekend Cumbie and I are going to the St. Pete Craft Beer Expo with some friends. We’ve gone the past two years and always had a blast.In honor of our fun plans for tomorrow, I thought I’d post a few beers Cumbie and I have tried recently now that we’ve got plenty of green bottles for our garden border.Kelpie Seaweed Ale. It’s billed as a “rich chocolate aleR
The 1st & oldest friend of mine is my Mom. When initially it was due to a lack of options, later it was simply the comfortable bonding that we shared. And like all BFFs, we had our share of fights & arguments that we survived. Hers is the only advice I take seriously & she is the only one with whom I can share all spicy gossip guilt-free. Each day I try to live up to her ideals &
Apparently I’m starting to make use of my time – bit by bit – to do the things I wanna do and also accomplishing tasks pertaining towards what I want to achieve till the end of the year. The forthcoming things that are happening are things that probably make me think and feel that actually sometimes you can get help anywhere, everywhere, but eventually it boils down to one’
I helped out my friend Shannon and Katie with the Meals on Wheels Poker Run Saturday on the lake. Here is a few photos. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!Shannon, me and Katie Shannon and me.
In life there are many things that make you laugh and smile.Family and friends are usually at the top of the list.Here’s some examples of how much fun you can have when you’re with these people.
That graduation was the most exhausting one I’ve ever attended.1. I went alone, so I had to navigate a part of the city to which I was not accustomed. I also had to park jillions of blocks (5) away and walk for miles (5 blocks) and miles in 16″ platform stilettos (2″ wedges).2. The auditorium bit didn’t open up to us general public freaks for ages and ages (half an hour
“All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go…” Tomorrow I’ll be getting on a plane and flying to Gulfport, Mississippi (by way of Houston), where my friend Dana will pick me up. After spending the night at her house, we’ll be running away to a beach house in Florida for two days of girl time with four other friends. Cocktails and bonfires on the beach, lots of good
Last night was most definitely an eye opening experience. Bull invited me to loiter up at QT with him and wuk. We drove up there at midnight got drinks and snacks and began to talk. Prior that I had been talk to a “Friend” of mine who keep asking me about my problems in life, which always make me mad because she knows what to say to piss me off. About the future, relationships with th
Read time: 90 secondsWe’ve had only a soft-opening this past week.Our business sign is not even up, and the parking lot is still full of construction trucks, painters, and workers. The front of the building is still being painted, patchwork plastered across the front side like it’s some camouflage bunker.But in one month I’ve met more wonderful people than I met in a year, one o
the humidity was so high! everytime any of us went to take a picture we had to wipe the lens and hurry and snap, wipe the lens and hurry and snap.steve: i saw this and thought of you haha! i think i want this next one printed it just makes me feel good.there *sigh* they are finally posted!
A couple of whatevers ago I told you I had an appointment with a community psychiatric nurse. That was this morning. I went, although I almost didn’t, it was scary to turn up and I was nervous (truthfully I always am in unfamiliar surroundings even though I try to hide it).It was a preliminary appointment but I found it difficult just sharing such rudimentary information about myself. Anywa
They knew it was coming. And so did I.Dawn and I were spending much more time at my house rather than her own. Things were getting creepier there; her parents were always edgy and angry about this or that. It was a crap shoot as to whether the power or the phone would be on based on whether or not the bill got paid. The cable was discontinued ages ago because they could no longer afford it.

Apparently the traditional gift for someone’s 9th wedding anniversary is pottery, while the more modern gift is leather. Pottery and leather? Really? Knowing that more than 40-60% of all marriages in the United States end in divorce and that the median length for a marriage is only 11 years, you would think that either pre-paid marriage counseling or an attorney on retainer would be a bette
hi everybody, hope your week is in full swing and that everything is well in your world :)it’s funny when you go through your photos after a trip. this is the first i’ve really seen some of the shots around town. guess i still have my thing for window boxes and wish i had more but they were few and far between.isn’t it your aesthetic obligation to have a flower box if you live
The TreasureQuick transitions over friends’ groups usually have an impact on one’s life, like how a movie has. For 3 hours, a movie entertains us, takes us to another world, imaginary, where we involve ourselves with the characters, and 3 hours of that part of our life is dedicated to it. If it is a bad movie, you don’t pay interest to the things happening in it, and if it is a good one, you che
Okay, so I told a little white lie.Yesterday I told you that Mason’s birthday this year was going to be a “low-key” affair per his request. But, I also told you that I like to make sure the boy has a big deal made out of him for his birthday each year. So, I’ll give you one guess as to what actually transpired for his birthday yesterday. Hint: it wasn’t all that low-
Bravo 3ala Shalabeih, breaking the silence on what sexual harassment does to the souls of women, and of men. As one for whom sexual harassment is a part and parcel of my life in Amman, her words cut through the self-protective armor around my heart and brought out my mama-bear for a younger woman feeling the crush of the imputed shame.I have been shushed and poo-poo’d for talking about the
