My shrink used to say that the reality of thing I fear –in my case the reality of being ill–is not as scary as the fantasy that I have worked up over it. She is absolutely right. I guess that is true for all phobias. For instance, I went to see my bud today. The reality [...]

My friend had his brain tumor out on Tuesday. He’s in pretty rough shape according to his girlfriend. He has to have chemo now which I do not think they knew going into this. He’s very sick from the anesthesia. I feel really horrible for him. Really horrible. This sounds like a horrific recovery. I had [...]

Enough with your laziness….get posting people!!! I swear, with only ONE exception (and she lives in MI) no one is posting frequently enough and I’m going to have to break up with you all. I just can’t tolerate this one sided relationship anymore. It isn’t fair. I wanted a partnership…. a nurturing partnership and my [...]

So K’s youngest sister let us know she is pregnant yesterday….which is wonderful and totally cool. Then later in the day, I checked the family’s web site and she had posted how they had been going through fertility treatments for 4 years and how it had been very difficult, financially, emotionally etc. They quit treatments. [...]

I have to apologize…the correct name is not the “Tiptoes Technique” … it is officially “The Barishnykov”……as confirmed by the creator of the aforemented technique. I stand corrected.
Eh, it’s Monday. So many unsettled thoughts in my head the last few days. I’m worried for a whole bunch of folks and it seems there is bad [...]

What’s the deal? Who is the candidate and who is the spouse??? I am sick to death of this and really, y’all have made it quite clear that it is a package deal and ya know what? Been there done that and not interested in another round.

I took this shot with my new Canon Powershot A720IS from the kitchen window. I’ve been feeding the birds in our yard for about 6 months and it is only the past 2 weeks that the squirrels have been motivated enough to figure out how to get onto the feeders…I guess freezing temps and no abundance of food [...]

Indeed, another week has come and gone. They’re going faster and faster, they are.
I’m headed out this mornging to drop off Auggie at camp as he is busting at the seams to stir up some fun and excitement–more than I am inclined to provide. Then I will continue onto clients house to meet the guy who [...]

The most important development in my life since yesterday morning is the really sad news that my sister’s birthmother is dying. Anytime now really. Sis is quite broken up about it as you might imagine. I’m sure there is a tangle of feelings for her. Her birthmother is an absolutely lovely woman who has had [...]

It’s all getting a bit depressing…the impending recession, gas prices, Heath Ledger, the ugliness of the bickering between the Democratic candidates (not in that order, mind you). Is it me or is the country in a funk? Perhaps I am projecting.
I’m going into the city today for more wallpaper, tassels, and drapery lining fabric. It costs [...]
