today i have been basically the content editor for the provost. i've been finding images, finding text, basically being paul's gopher. what a drag. i slept in this morning, but that didn't help the headache. darn. i was hoping that a bit of extra sleep was going to make all the difference in the world. NOT. daisy must be sensing that something is wrong. she has snuggled next to me, at my waist for the past two nights. normally that means that she wants to go outside and she does it … [Read more...]

today the last old style volkswagen bug rolled off the assembly line in mexico. why is it a sad day, you might ask... sabrina, my 1961 vw convertable bug, sits in the garage, as lovely as she was the day she was purchased. the bug was, and still is, an excellent car. even though they were only being built for central and south american markets, it is a sad day. bye bye old bug. … [Read more...]

i have decided that it is time to start blocking people. i'm really feeling censored, and i'm tired of that noise. if you could once see this, and now you can't... HA! wait! those people can't read this! so on to what is going on... so, the new boy is starting to bug me. it's one of those situtations where, yes, he is nice. yes, he could be a good father/provider. yes, he likes me. BUT, he doesn't put the toilet seat down. he doesn't help clean up or make dinner. he has this weird … [Read more...]

today is mars first day home from hawaii (not that she told me she was leaving, but whatever)... first thing when i walk into work this morning, i get a call from mom. guess what she says. i'm thinking hmm, i don't really care. but then, she said that mar got a taste of her own medicine. what? well get this. appparently mar (tire man and the boys) went on vacation with kelly, gary and baby logan. they get all the way to hawaii, and kelly and gary think it is much more exciting to see the … [Read more...]

as if i'm not having a shitty enough weekend, i woke up saturday morning with this small irritation at the corner of my mouth. by sunday morning, it's a huge white head, which is throbbing! i get up and look in the mirror. OH MY GOD! it's like a little mt. saint helen's on my face. i tried to do the wrong thing and pop it. but it didn't pop. damn. so all day long, its been bugging me. it is all i can do not to touch it. on top of the zit, i've had a headache since friday morning. i've … [Read more...]

so, my mother, the most pain tollerant person i know is coming home. it has just become too much for her. those of you who know me, know i'm a planner. i planned for this to happen earlier, than october. i knew she wasn't going to hold out that long. but next week? i'm just not prepared. i wanted to move furniture around... i wanted to paint... andrea was going to come and help me with the kitchen. i wanted the house to look really good for when she came home. that's not going to … [Read more...]

last night, just before 8, i hear a knocking at the front door. i'm thinking, well maybe it is carol, coming over to talk about daisy. maybe it is rob and deb, and they had the baby. maybe it is norm complaining about the fact i haven't brought my trash can up yet. hmm. nope. i look around the corner to see a slight black man, graying hair, pearing a off of my porch at the street. i call to the the new boy (over to watch big brother), who is sitting on the couch: "i don't know who it … [Read more...]

i just wanted to take a minute here and tell you that i think my blog was much more fun to read when i was talking about boys. the new boy has been reading my blog on a every 4 hour basis... i know, i did block him (aren't static ip's a wonderful thing), but then i got frownie faces about it. should i really care if the new boy reads what i write? no i shouldn't... but i do. i'm not looking to hurt feelings here, or to give anyone who is dating me some greater insight... i'm just going to … [Read more...]
