Lasting Effects
I spent 20 minutes on the phone with my mom last night. I can't help but sigh and wonder what I did in a past life to warrant the relationship I have with my mother. There's love there, yes, but it's bound by frustration, confusion and hurt. Is that every parent-child relationship, I wonder? Which of course makes me wonder how badly I will conflict ( Read more... ) -
The Quickening

There's something happenin' here...
The news has seemed fairly dull as of late, little did I know that it was really leading up to some crazy shit going on in the world. I'm struggling to remember to ask questions, such as "what is the slant? Who is the interested party writing this? Can I trust the source? Research the facts..." and so on.
But with news about Hopeful Presidential ( Read more... ) -
Oh, look, the next drama
This morning, the OB was talking about putting me on insulin because I have been steadily gaining weight and my blood pressure is worsening. My diet is making me sick and emotionally distraught. I feel worse than I've felt in over a year, emotionally, and I know it's more than just crazy pregnancy hormones ( Read more... ) -
Crisis Averted
My folks have deemed it prudent to let the topic of religion and politics outside of our relationship. A heap big sigh of tentative relief has been had by all.
I'm battling high blood sugar and I'm trying to cut out as many extra-curricular activities as possible. Walking is back on the agenda for the health of tic tac, myself and so I don't blow up ( Read more... ) -
On the road to Ugly
Have you ever seen a train wreck unfold before your eyes? I mean that in the emotional sense. Well, a couple of days ago my mother called and said, "Now, S-..." That's how all terrible conversations start. There are clue words like "Now..., Listen..., I love you..." Okay, maybe not the last, but that can certainly lead to some dangerous waters...

Earth Day 2012
Well, Gosh, let's get caught up.
The Earth Day event on the Blueberry Farm happened, in which 10 folk showed up and spent 4 hours pulling up gardening sheets, flipping them over and piling mulch on top in order to kill the vegetation and prevent competition with the blueberries. I'd call that a success. I don't know what the city would call it, ( Read more... ) -
latest and greatest
I'm a little stunned that we're bringing the 2nd week of April to a close (and, of course, it's Friday the 13th!). I have been busy, but not super busy. Perhaps it would be more fair to say that my head's been a blur. Of course I'm juggling multiple projects, including my staples - school, the BBF, volunteering and social responsibilities and I've ( Read more... ) -
The Great Purging
Accomplishments:
1. I have finally paid off all outstanding old debt. I have minimal new debt (a new car and education, so large ticket, but only two).
2. I have rented a storage unit to keep stuff best left off-site.
3. I am going through the great purge in between procrastinating on homework, BBF meeting planning and being with my mate.
4. Got ( Read more... ) -
Talking to Strangers
I find myself talking to strangers while in line for groceries, walking along the BPA trail, riding the bus....you get the drift. Typically I open with "Hello! Do you like to garden?" this is generally followed by a puzzled look and an honest answer. The answer has been, generally, yes, to which I invite the lot to the next CAT meeting. I'm hoping ( Read more... )
