what an interesting day today turned out to be. got up, had a hissy-fit, bought a book case and spend most of the day moving furniture. ok, wait... can i really just gloss over the hissy-fit? you know i can't. who else would i be having a hissy-fit about but the lovely and multi-talented miss mar. many of you don't know that i'm really not talking to mar do to the inability of her live-in family to treat me in a civilized manner. wow, that was very tacktful, wasn't it? ok, back to the … [Read more...]

saturday morning, my mom and i got up and decided to go garage sale'ing in palo alto. if you are going to go look for good stuff, you should look in a good area, right? so, after a stop for some lovely bagels, mom and i got started... lets talk about this here, just for a second. i'm going to go look for stuff to purchase with the woman whom i promised i would not spend any money for the month of july. does this make sense? anyway, back to the tale... so we get to the first good sale, … [Read more...]

last night, mom and i went down to cuesta park to listen to their summer sounds concert series. The Swing Solution played as mom and i at our picnic dinner. mom made these wonderful sandwiches, cut up a ton of fruit and made coleslaw for the event. it was lovely. it was nice to have someone else make dinner! there were several older couples who danced. i forgot how much i wanted to find a partner to dance with. speed never would dance with me, and jt never could remember the step. it … [Read more...]

first, thank you for your calls! had i known that writing about medical procedures would bring actual phone calls, i would have been writing about such things way before now! anyway. good news is that was nothing on my cervex that looked liked it needed a closer look. i even was ready! i got myself relaxed and said, ok, do it! and there was nothing to take! isn't that cool? the weird news is that i had a polyp next to my cervex. about the size of a large pea. the dr. removed it, of … [Read more...]

i'm a tad worried about my dr's appointment this afternoon. it's not a big deal, really... it's just a test. just a microscope looking at my cervex... not really anything to worry about. then the punch... it's not like i've not had this test before. i have. maybe that's why i'm having such a problem. it hurts. i wish that i had the pain tollerance my mom does. then it wouldn't bother me. but i don't. last time i had this test was when i was still with michael, when i still worked at … [Read more...]

remember before stephen left me for bakersfield? we went to bookbuyers and he gave me his HUGE store credit? they had the devil wears prada. i, of course, put it in my stack of books to purchase with that lovely credit. then came the killer... they wanted twice as much as the price listed to purchase it, simply because it is a new book. needless to say, i can buy a ton of books on henry viii's era with that! so, stephen writes me to tell me that he is almost done reading it, and that he … [Read more...]

i've finally finished the cd for the cd exchange that was SUPPOSED to happen in april. since the master-blaster decided that the next exchange had to be as large as the last one, no one is willing to take it on. isn't that a hoot? he made things so enormous that no one wants to "host" it now. i wanted to host a small one. i'm thinking i'm going to send out an evite for mid september. i don't want to wait longer than that, because then you interfere with christmas. feelers going out today. … [Read more...]

mom talked to mar before she got here and scheduled at "girls day" of whatever mar wanted to do, all day saturday. friday, as you know, we went to deke, and had a quiet evening at home. saturday morning came about, i got up, did my 30 minute walk with daisy and returned home. mom called mar shortly after i got home. she was informed that hootie had guitar lessons at 1:30 pm we were either going to have to have an early lunch, or a late lunch. WAIT, lunch? what happened to a day? what … [Read more...]
