I have officially come to the realization that once I move out of this hours, where I share the rent and bills with my roommates, I will not have many of the things that I love about having a priveleged life. Cable, DVR, internet, and possibly my cell phone will go away. This last month without the ‘net and all of you has been miserable. I know I do not NEED it … but it certainly helps keep me a heck of a lot happier.
BABY S IS OFFICIALLY IN REMISSION!
That is the greatest news ever, and I still cry every time I think about it. I cannot even think of a way to elaborate on this, other than to say: THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
We have had a difficult week, with little C being sick earlier in the week, and then lil K being sick too (she’s hardly EVER sick!). Later today (cuz this posts just after midnight), we will learn if Baby S is in remission. I am on pins and needles. I cannot wait for the appointment!! I am going to bed, hopefully to sleep. xoxo
Sending a shout-out to all my friends and family and loved ones and acquaintences who are fighting in the war. I may not agree with the stance we have taken, or continued to take I should say. I may not agree with how we’re handling things. But I think of you daily and I support YOU, because ultimately I know you are there for US. Thank you.
The oddest things come to my mind completely randomly. I was thinking about going to Jamaica, which made me think of the bartenders (who are as fucking fabulous as they come), which made me think, in turn, of my exhusband. At one point in our (brief) marriage, he decided he wanted to be a bartender. We paid hundreds of dollars for a course. Wanna know how often he used it?
Yep, Zilch. Zero. Zip. Zed.
*sigh*
Can I just say … I love American Idol! We tend to record & watch later, but … I really really love this show *L* I am behind you, so i won’t bother with details right now … I just had to throw in my vote for the ENTIRE show. And, Cara joining is a nice touch, I think. We needed a change. WOOT!
I should be packing. I have not made an official decision, and neither has my roommate, but I think we are moving. And i should be preparing for that move. I am sad though, to let this go. It was not always easy being with my roommates, but … I love them. They are my brother and sister, not by blood, but by choice. The children are my nieces and nephews. Despite the stress of having so many of us together, it is still nice coming home to family. Why isn’t life easier?
I seriously need to make a list of all of the movies, cds, and books that I own. I used to have lists. I have no idea where they went. I need to quit collecing duplicates, though!! Movies and books are the worst. I am not buying music with the same frequency I once did … but the other two? I find them at garage sales, flea markets, and elsewhere for such great deals that I have a hard time walkign away. Then, I come home and realize I already read/watched that particular item. DANGIT!!
Oh WOW … last night we say Seven Pounds with Will Smith. I have one friend that watched it a while back, and he came away not seeming at all excited about the movie. I was disappointed, because I was sure I would share his opinion, but I love Will Smith … so i knew I would watch the movie anyway. I am SO VERY GLAD that I did. PHENOMENAL movie … made me cry. I love movies that make me cry. Beautiful, touching, poignant. Watch it - as soon as you can. Go on!!
Milestone! Fifty days blogging, every day. I am proud of me!
Silly, I know. But, I honestly thought I would not even make it to day 31 *L*
I received two beautiful books in the mail yesterday: The Fey and Denver Cereal, both by Claudia Hall Christian. She is someone that I met on Plurk, and she is a wonderful friend. I tried reading her books online, in the serial format for which they were intended, but I could not ever focus enough to do that properly. I am so glad both books are in print, and that i can now read them properly! WOOOT!
I feel like I am missing something … I cannot figure out what, exactly. Other than … well, all of you. These micro-blog posts that I am sending to my email while I wait to get back online so I can post them … simply NOT satisfying. i send them only because I promised myself to participate in Blog 365 in my own way. Too late, I realized i should have been sending my daily good deed rather than random posts. Now I will not remember them. I think maybe I will start that project over when I get back online.
Do you know how much paper companies waste sending out reminder messages to people who do not want them? Three times I have sent back cards saying I do not want to renew. I have received a total of 12 reminder messages anyway. Get over it, people!!! I DO NOT WANT YOU.
Them, not you 
I feel like I am biding my time til I can be online. I miss communicating with hundreds of people. I miss seeing my friends nightly (ok, mostly nightly). I miss the socialization, and the friendships. So. Damn. Much.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Will you (and you … and you … and you …) be my Valentine?
