I miss being able to share my thoughts and feelings with a group of strangers who have become friends.

On a scale of 1 to 10 being sucky, this Christmas is a fat five.

My siblings and I have quit getting along since my dad passed and they moved my mom to Salina, Kansas into a nursing home. I told them it was a bad idea to move her near my ( Read more... )

How come my archives only go back to 2007 now? Anyone know? Is it because I don't have a paid account, or are those old posts just gone?

So. What a crappy year was 2011. In May, Greg and I bought a couple of bicycles and pledged to get our lazy butts back in shape. Not two weeks later, I'm being diagnosed with breast cancer and sleep walking through endless imaging appointments. Surgery was at the end of June, a double mastectomy and I spent two drugged weeks on the lazy boy in the ( Read more... )

It was beautiful today. I think it hit the 80's which was record breaking for March. I had a senior shoot late this afternoon and the weather couldn't have been better! I had on a pair of canvas rocket dogs and before the session I took off my socks since it was so hot. BIG MISTAKE. I totally rubbed a blister on my big toe. Bah.

Lots and lots of tornados around tonight. One briefly touched down less than half a mile from our house. I stepped outside to look at the clouds and counted 16 people out mingling and talking in driveways.

So I grabbed a beer and joined them. : )

I am so pissed at Best Buy. We wanted an inexpensive flat screen for the bedroom so went and purchased an off brand model and brought it home and it sounded like bloody hell. So we went back to the store and listened to the display one and it was obvious that ours was defective somehow. So they had an open box Sanyo for 799 and I asked the manager ( Read more... )

Rented a great movie last night.  It was directed by Ben Affleck and the ending will blow your mind. I thought about it all night long.

Our trip to Jamaica this February was awesome as usual. We brought some newbie friends along with us and they definitely have the bug now. Sadly, Greg started getting sick half way through. I knew he wasn't feeling well when he wasn't having his evening cigar on our porch ( Read more... )
