Good afternoon, my friends... Lovelyladymonk has asked me to fill in for her this afternoon. She's well, just a bit stiff today. She will try to return to you later. The weather here is dismal today. Today, we are finally having some "decent" snowfall. Thus the reason for her stiffness. Sadly, her... Sign in to see full entry.

A few days ago, I got the most wonderful news from my friend... Djeda (Paul) can drive!!!!! I know this must seem like a pretty silly thing to get so revved up about, but for the longest time, I wasn't sure if he could or even knew how to drive. He's been in America since he was a fairly young man,... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is my son's birthday. Every time I tell him I remember it, he always seems so surprised!! He's so adorable!! He's thirty three years old today, but I'll bet he doesn't look one bit his age. He's not very tall, and from what I can remember, he has a very boyish face. No matter how old he gets,... Sign in to see full entry.

Here it is yet again, my friends...The newest beginning of Nikolai's story. Please enjoy and let me know what you all think!! MOURNING DOVE PART ONE NIGHTMARES From the bathroom, he can hear the train whizzing past the bedroom. Despite the heavy chill in the air, he left the window open this morning...

Yesterday, Roommie and I decided to have our cable package down graded...at least for the time being. Does it bother me? Not in the least. I don't watch all that much television to begin with, so as far as I'm concerned, it isn't that big a loss. The reason for our decision is that we need to pay... Sign in to see full entry.

I've finally done it!! I've just started my third draft of Nikolai's story. Actually, this is the one I meant to write to begin with, but it never ended up coming out the way I intended. Nor did the second draft, I'm sorry to say. Please wish me well. I'll post bits of it here whenever I can. Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning, gang... Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday already!! Where the heck has the week gone???? Ah, life....Some days it seems to move faster than other days. Last night, I had a night from hell. I slept, but I kept waking up because my bedroom was so hot and also my back just refuses to... Sign in to see full entry.

I should have seen this coming.... My back has done fairly well for the last few days. In fact, it didn't hurt at all over the Christmas holiday. Now, however, the Nazis are back with a vengence. I feel as if my back is being torn to bloody shreds by an ice pick. God, please let someone rip out my... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's another one of my favourite memories of Mick. I got to thinking about it due to the fact that we've had so little snow this year. When our friendship was still fairly new, Mick had told me that at the end of his time here in the states, he was going to take a job at a ski resort somewhere in... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie just made a quick trip to her sister's house, but she'll be back later on tonight. Whilst I'm alone I'm cleaning the coffee pot and listening to Garrison Keillor. He's absolutely hysterical!!!! I need to dash off and check my bank account and then do a bit of online shopping!!!! Being bored... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, it's the day after Christmas, and I've decided to change the wallpaper and screensaver on the computer. I've re-installed the M&M's wonderland screensaver and wallpaper. In the spring, I'll change them again, of course. For now, I'll gaze upon my favourite candy characters once more. Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning gang, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!!!! Mine was extremely quiet. I was too exhausted to celebrate this year. We kept the tree lights on from morning until last night and ate a good dinner. We meant to watch a few Christmas shows on DVD, but we were both just too tired to... Sign in to see full entry.

Merry Christmas to you all, my friends!! I won't be here tomorrow, so I'll say it now. I hope all your Christmas wishes and dreams come true and that the new year will be equally as bright. We had Christmas with my mum and uncle a day early, but I'll tell you all about that when I come back on... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday, I got a nice surprise from a friend of mine. I'm a huge fan of Garrison's Keillor's tales from Lake Wobegon. Knowing that no one else would think to buy it for me for Christmas or my birthday, he sent me the CD. At this very moment, I'm burning them into my windows media player. I...

At least, it's a foggy Friday here inside my head. I need to sort some things out, so I think I'll hit the shower. Mum bought me a bath gift set for my birthday, so I think I'll use some of it to relax myself. Have a fantastic Friday, gang. I'll be back later on. Sign in to see full entry.

One last desperate dash of online shopping has completely exhausted your poor fellow lovelyladymonk!!!! Thankfully, I'm FINALLY finished!!!! However, now I am off to bed. See you all tomorrow. Sleep well and sweet and peaceful dreams to you all. Sign in to see full entry.

Why, oh why didn't I start sending out Christmas cards last month like I'd planned???? Why? Because November ended up being such a crummy month for me, that's why!!!! Now, I've got no energy to even attempt to write them out!!!! I did buy one to send to Mick and Nathan Aaron and another to send to... Sign in to see full entry.

This post actually is my thoughts about two people. The first one is my friend Kif. Last time I heard from him, he was in Kyoto, Japan looking for a job as an English teacher. That was in April. It's now nearing the end of December, and I've not heard from him since. I had asked him to send me his... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally, at long last, I feel like working on some of my stories again. I don't know which to work on first, but it will most likely be Nikolai's story since the deadline for that novel competion is fast approaching. I also want to work on LENA'S and the other girls' stories as well. As far as the... Sign in to see full entry.

Well my friends, it's shower time for this lovelyladymonk. As today is my birthday, I'm going to use the gingerbread spice shower gel Roommie bought for me a couple of days ago!!!! Couldn't you all just gobble me up???? Sign in to see full entry.
