Sorry but it seems the trip really did kick my butt and LAZY is the word of the day for me today. I arrived at my destination about 6PM PST Friday night, tired but happy to be here. I had a...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/590952I arrived at my destination about 6 PM PST last night. I have been meaning to blog but between the trip and a day at the beach, I am wiped out. Tonight, I am getting some rest and hopefully will be energetic enough tomorrow after I walk to Starbucks to blog. Rough life I know but somebody needs...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/589507I jsut want to thank everyone for their kind words and support regarding Pam. I apologize for not getting back sooner but life has been busy. I still really don't care to talk publically about the situation with Pam, but there is a chance that by summer her life could turn around, so I will ask...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/588060I have been up all night and I don't have the energy to go into detail right now. My daughter (step-daughter) is in a highly abusive home and I have zero legal right, the system is failing her terribly. Instead of protecting her they have deemed her a "problem child". PLEASE pray that somehow,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/587392This morning my friend Shannon and I were talking about relationship issues and things that we allow to get in our way of really having the relationships that we want in our lives. I do pretty well with friends, I try to give what I am given, I have gotten good at setting boundaries and I have...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/587042Told you I couldn't stay away. I spent the holiday with my family and to say the least it was bittersweet, knowing that this would likely be the last one for awhile. As I am moving in January. Like a dummy I decided to do my traveling on Christmas Eve and got myself not only caught in a horrible...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/582519I am home!!!!!!!!!!!! I got here last night but was pretty wiped out so I was in bed by 8PM. My cats were happy to see me but oh my I was knocked over by a smell when I walked through the door. I had taken the milk out of the fridge before I left with the intent of dumping out the little that was...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/582320You know, I pride myself on normally understanding male communication. Being the only female on an all male construction crew years ago, I had two choices, learn to understand them or walk around all day saying "huh?" BUT even with that training there are days that I still get that blank stare...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/582153Being a person who lives alone with her 2 cats, I am discovering as much as I love my family, I do love my solitude. Yesterday was one of those days. Dharma and I went to see Madagascar and I totally forgot that it was the day her mother called for the court ordered phone call. It's a very long...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/bel/581971Again, everyone has gone to bed and I am finally alone with the quiet of night. I am well fed but sitting here eating left over deviled eggs and stuffing, because I can. There is something comforting about knowing that even though the kitchen isn't yours, you are welcome to raid it as if it were....
