It hurts

it really does. A few entries ago I wrote about how I had mixed feelings about my ex boyfriend. So yesterday, taking advantage of the fact that it was his birthday, I sent him an email. I knew he had read it cause I had asked for a confirmation of reading (ok, I'm a sneaky little shit sometimes). No... Sign in to see full entry.

In praise of messiness....

I have never been a neat freak. Don't get me wrong; I do make the distinction between clean and messiness. Dirt freaks me out completely....but.....in the comfort of my own home, I leave everything misplaced or not where it should be. Call it laziness or whatever you want, but for some odd reason no...

9/11 - the day we dread most

We all have our quotidian routines to tend to: getting up to go to work, sending kids to school, cleaning house, running errands or simply nothing at all. No matter what, though, there is a day where you feel as if you have to stop all and are thrusted back four years. That day is tomorrow,... Sign in to see full entry.
