I've made an appointment to see my doctor this morning. I think I'm sliding down the slippery slope of depression.  I'm not sleeping much, and when I do it's not well.  I cry all the time.  I don't want to go anywhere or do anything, I just want to stay home.  I don't want to go to work, I don't want to clean the house, I don't want to watch TV, or read or knit or cook or....I just don't want to do anything. I have panic attacks that are getting harder and ha...

Henry, my weiner dog, has some things to say about the article I published about him this afternoon... jcjcxnujhn ikn uj78u jfn  ujujhnm  vy676 huyyopl;cxnhhddc jmnc vw6yat34r,krfzgkjtghjnb; dfakljdfaJHUDFiokjldfkhdsfak Ahem...I will give this my best shot at translation... im not a yobbo like she said i just like the new green thing with the shiny stuff that she put out for me to play with and she put a nice new blanket under it for me but she yells at me when i go...

Actress Julia Roberts has given birth to twins, according to 'People' magazine. Phinnaeus Walter and Hazel Patricia were born around 3am PST Sunday November 27th, mother and babies are reportedly doing well. Congratulations, Julia and Danny.....! And for the record, I think Phinnaeus is an awesome name.  D and I were talking a couple of days ago about what we'd name our baby if we ever had another one....and Phinnaeus was the choice for a boy!

I have a hooligan of a dog. An absolute yobbo, a rebel against anything and everything human.......a psychotic lunatic of a weiner dog. He has these phases where he just goes....crazy.  Runs a circle from our living room to hallway to kitchen, stumpy little legs pumping, ears swept back, tongue loose and flapping.....running at maximum doggy velocity for no apparent reason. He refuses to heed some things we tell him.  I know he's not stupid, he's learned to sit ...

I had the great misfortune of standing in line behind someone who smelled bad today. This man....was overweight, wearing pants that were so dirty they were shiny (I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about), a shirt that had big yellow stains blooming from under the armpits to halfway down the sides, a long greasy bead that had what I presumed to be bits of food stuck in it, all in various stages of decay, long greasy hair and green teeth.  The stench.....made me almost gag.&nb...

I'm done. Done being and doing a lot of things. Done being the perpetual whipping boy (grl).  Done taking the blame for everything that goes wrong or happens. Done feeling unloved and unwanted.  Done trying.  Done giving while others take.  Done adapting to suit every one else's needs. Done writing.  It's lost it's charm and it's release. Done reading.  Causes too much angst and jealousy. I'm done.  

I'm changing my hair color. I like to mix it up a bit...I had been trying to grow it out, but I simply cannot handle anything but short hair.  It gets to a certain length, then goes all limp and flat.  I try switching shampoos, conditioners, gels, sprays etc...but it doesn't really make much of a difference.  I simply don't have the time or the inclination to blow dry and curl it everyday, so I keep it pretty short...that way I can just towel dry it, run a bit of wax through i...

Thanksgiving, by Jacob.   Being thankful is nice and a good thing to do.  Here are some things I appreciate.  I'm thankful for my family, my friends and a free country. I think my family is great.  My hole family is nice.  My cosens and I play together.  All the people in my family like me. Another thing is I am thankful for my friends.  We all play together.  Everyone is smart.  My friends and I share secrets. I believe in a free count...

*ring.....ring* me: hello? him:  hey.... him:  ....I love you. me: well, I love you too.  What's going on? him: nada, just was thinking about how much i love you so I thought I'd call and tell you.   Need I say more....?  

I haven't heard anything from the chiropractor's office about who they selected for the job yet. I think I'm going to call them this morning, just to see where they are in the decision process. I'm not really sure I want to know......if they didn't select me, I'm going to be a bit upset.  Not upset crying, just upset disappointed. On second thoughts, perhaps I'll just wait.....

There was an accident in the warehouse at work today. We have a resident cat who had delivered her kittens in a corner about 6 weeks ago.  Today two of them had wandered off and were curled up inside a wooden pallette...it got picked up by a fork lift, and the kitties fell out.  The fork lift driver didn't see then, and started stacking palletes on top of them. By the time I got there, they had the pallettes off of them.  One tortoiseshell one had lost a leg and was esvi...

I read about this on MSNBC this morning: Link A Texas woman cuts the arms off of her daughter.  I simply cannot imagine it.  I really don't want to imagine it.  The report says that the department of social services was involved with the family until recently, when they closed the case, saying that they didn't feel the woman was any threat or that the child was in any particular danger. Apparently, they were wrong. I've experienced post partum depression myself.&...

I like Thanksgiving.  We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in England, so the holiday is still somewhat of a novelty to me.  I take the holiday somewhat seriously, and in that spirit I've made a list of the things I'm thankful for. I'm thankful that I'm not alone for this holiday.  I spent last Thanksgiving separated from the ones I love the most, and it was, to be blunt, a sucky holiday.  So, I'm thankful that my husband is home this year (he has to work, but that's okay, we c...

(excerpt taken from: Present Moment, Wonderful Moment   byt Thich Nhat Hanh) 'If you look deeply into the plam of you hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors.  All of them are alive in this moment.  Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people. To be born means that something which did not exist comes into existence. But the day we are 'born' is not our beginning.  It is a day of continuation.  But...
