Christy's couch

For some reason-please don't ask me why-I have this horrible tendency to make people cry. Usually, this happens to strangers. It's a gift I'd just as soon not have, but it follows me around like the black plague! I'm not saying this happens constantly...quite to the contrary, actually. I'm just...

At last, the humidity is FINALLY gone! Thank God. I need a shower, but since we slept in late I'm not ready to go upstairs yet. In a bit. I didn't sleep at all last night. I'm not feeling too badly though. There's more writing to be done today. I hope more of you will catch yourselves up with Ben's... Sign in to see full entry.

Helloooo... Is there anyone out here tonight? Just curious. I'm gettin' kinda lonely!... Sign in to see full entry.

The night before last, I fell asleep feeling Mick's arms around me again. I haven't felt them there for months now. At first it made me happy...but now once more, my heart has been sliced out of me. I used to listen to his chest. Most specifically his heart. There's nothing wrong with it, in fact... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay gang... Here's the re-done bit of Ben's tale...like I said, please don't boo me off the stage until you've re-read it! Three days have passed, and not a sign of life from next door. He’s a bit worried. The person he and Hamish heard moving about in the house…did they come to rob the place blind... Sign in to see full entry.

Before I go any further, I want to take a moment to thank those of you who have been reading Ben's story. Your gracious comments mean a great deal to me, and I will never be able to thank you all enough for your kind words and encouragement. I've been writing stories for most of my life. Even when I...

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Sunday. Yesterday was spent cleaning the house and myself! It needed it, believe me! I just got a call from Belle, and Roommie should be here any minute. I had the strangest dream last night. Becky and I were living together, and somehow we ended... Sign in to see full entry.

Three days have passed, and not a sign of life from next door. He’s a bit worried. The person he and Hamish heard moving about in the house…did they come to rob the place blind and made off before the police could be summonsed? The heat of the past week is gone now, and this morning when he woke,... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning gang... Well, I finallly did manage that shower at around ten o'clock last night. Thank God for cool water and tons of soap!!!! It doesn't seem as muggy or sticky to me today, but there again I don't have the windows open here in the living room. I thought about Uncle Ben all day... Sign in to see full entry.

My Lord in Heaven! Can it get any hotter right now? I think not! I'm going to put Mocha back to bed after fetching him his bedtime snack, than it's off to the shower AT LAST! I haven't managed one in three-COUNT 'EM THREE DAYS and I'm sure I must be ripe as a cole black banana right now! ICK!...... Sign in to see full entry.

I know vickip will be especially pleased to hear this...are you out there, Vicki??!! Ben's story will be returning to its regularly scheduled post here in my blog very soon! I'm going to do a small bit of revising before he returns, but fear not...He IS on his way! Okay vickip...you can start... Sign in to see full entry.

I just stumbled across this poem...I'd actually forgotten writing it! I thought I'd re-post it here for anyone who may have missed it the first time round or who might enjoy reading it again...

I still haven't heard from my friend K, in Australia. Some of you will remember that a few weeks ago, I posted about the fact that I've not heard from him in well over a year and also that he confessed to me twice that he's been suicidal in the past. I did emai him a couple of weeks ago, and I was... Sign in to see full entry.

I have a feeling it's going to be one of those days. I didn't get to sleep until about 1:30 this morning. It was so flipping hot and humid last night I was sticking to myself! So, after cleaning Mocha's pen and feeding him and the cats, I washed the dishes and went upstairs to wash my hair and face.... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, my God...I've had pain before...frequently as most of you know by now...but nothing like this. It started yesterday, and has slowly gotten worse. I have a sinking feeling that I'm going to be living on Advil for the next several days. My little Gestapo are storming through Normandy and Paris... Sign in to see full entry.

Does anyone remember this story??!!... The first scorching flames of hell begin to lap at the foundation of paradise at 6:30 the next morning. It’s a slow, taunting, laughing lap, as if hell knows what this day will bring. Sarah finally drifted off to sleep at about 2:00, after finishing her first... Sign in to see full entry.

I just got off the phone after chatting with Julie about our next dinner date which is set for the second Sunday in August. I can't wait to see her again, and I know Becky feels the same way...but I'm left hurting for her again. The reason is that once more she has called A to let him know when...

His birthday is at the very end of July, and every year it seems to get more painful rather than easier. His birthday, wedding anniversary and the date of his death are always the hardest days of the year for me. I've been thinking of him a lot lately. When Grammy was here visiting, I found out...

I swear, I make friends in the strangest ways sometimes. Quite a while ago, I stated doing business with a lady on ebay who makes incredibly beautiful Eeyore tiles. She does this by cutting pieces of tile and then either painting or pasting (or both) pictures of Eeyore onto them. I've developed... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, I'm pathetic. I know that now beyond a shadow of a doubt. Here's why... I just went online to pick out an e-card for a friend's birthday, and I found one of some kittens meowing to the tune of Happy Birthday.
