When I was very young, about 7 or 8, I went to some lame day camp that I think my mom just shuttled me off to as a way to get me out of her hair. I had to ride a school bus home, and there were several. The mere thought of riding in a school bus made me cringe, I was a car kid....

Saturday afternoon, I took my doggie on a walk like always, in the same field and woods that we always go to. He did his business and was happy, and we went home. When I got to my stairs, I noticed a little fuzzy thing on the edge of my sleeve, thought nothing of it, brushed it off and went inside. About two minutes later,...

I loved playing with caterpillers when I was growing up, glad I never rana cross one of those. Good to hear you got better due to your boy being so sweet to you. 
I can't sleep. I watched a documentary that I thought would be good and turned out really boring. That chaps my hide a bit.
I am now watching a show about the last days in the lives of Renoir and Degas, and it is somewhat keeping my attention.
I need to sleep, but don't want to. My plants are falling apart on me, and I...

I haven't said it in awhile, but you and I would be pure hell if we worked together. We would take the fuck over.

what was the documentary about?
I hope the plants spring back to life.
What a fucking bitch, she needs to get a life.

I am still basking in the post Seattle trip glow, and realizing that I need to be there rather than here. When we told people up there we were from Texas, they actually recoiled in horror until we added that we were from Austin, that seemed to be our only saving grace.
I was talking to my mom about my trip, and she said, "Well,...

Home sweet home! I love that you found the "Singles" apartments.
All I have to say about Seattle is that I have never had so much fucking fun in my life. The people are so damn nice, nobody gives a fuck what they look like, and nobody is in a hurry. It really chilled me out and took me down a notch.
I did count an amazingly high number of Subaru station wagons, and found myself...

The pictures look like a great time! Is the 1820 the Singles place?
It all looks so sunny and organic. Oh and...that's the first I've seen of a full Starbucks logo change. I know they did it months ago but have yet to see a new opening with the full new mermaid. Must've been a new location.

My dad got out of the nervous hospital today at 11 a.m. I called him at noon to see how things were going, and he was shitcanned wasted and a total asshole to me. Nice. Good job staying sober for an hour dad. He knows I am flying out tomorrow and said he would watch tv all day to see if my plane crashes. That's...

Some people don't want help. Like you said you have done all that you can.
Hope you have a great time on your trip.

Look forward to hearing about the trip.
I have been getting ready for my Seattle trip little by little, and I am getting really excited. I am looking forward to meeting my boyfriend's parents and just having a damn change of scenery for the first time in 17 years.
Got all my shifts covered at work. My friend Brandon has agreed to come by and feed my cats. They are going to...

I accidentally dozed off on the couch last night. I woke up to my boyfriend standing over me saying "Babe, one of the cats just took a shit in the bathtub and has been scratching at the porcelain for 30 minutes trying to cover it up". Thank god I love my animals.............

poor kitty, I bet he was like what in the fuck is going on here, why will it not go away.
jena:
Yup, never heard of that guy before. Hey, I've had my share of things he talked about- esp (seriously, I don't know if you've ever heard of this) blacks refusing to wait on blacks...it's a surreal thing. But a lot of his commentary is wacky.
I finished Waiter Rant- not as great as I'd hoped. He's not the greatest writer and it wasn't funny enough for me. But of course it's a read any industry person will want to investigate for themselves. The very best part was him asking the cook for a special substitution and the cook responding with "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" Now THAT is something hysterical I can relate to. I remember a particular cook telling me to get the fuck out his kitchen for asking for like, hard boiled egg on a salad.
It's almost 100 degrees out. Hope you're weekend is turning up nice!

I have put about 700 miles on my car in the last few days. I went to see my dad in the "rehab hospital" he is in, and it is actually more like an insane asylum. I really thought I was walking into a scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Luckily my dad is playing the Jack Nicholson character. The people there were...

Glad I'm not insane. And...never forget they want that well done steak in like 10 minutes.
Of course.
Of course.

Way ahead of you-I even read the book (not nearly as good)! I love that movie. What did you like most about it?
Things are beginning to look up. The bf is back from his vacation, and my dad agreed to go to a rehab hospital for about a month, which he so needs to do.
After much urging from many, I finally watched the documentary Dig! the other night, and have a slight obsession with the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

I'm really glad your boy is back.
That is great news about your dad, I'm so glad he is going to do that, I hope they can help to make him better. who is going to take care of his puppy dog?
I don't think I have ever heard of Dig. Did you like it?
Was he surprised when he got back and his place was so clean?
Why are you not a fan of him? what did he do? I'm glad he was nice to you at lunch.
Did you try another store? I don't think I have ever seen a place run out of bubble bath.
You are a smart little devil.

I think my dad is dying. My aunt called me a minute ago and said he had fallen again. Which pisses me off in a way, because he has severe nerve damage in his arms and legs, and won't use a walker. Luckily he was wearing his little beeper thing that connects directly to 911, so an ambulance came quickly. One thing that does worry...

I wish I could hold a waitress job for that long!! You're a rarebird...at least in NY turnovers were just_so_damn_high. It was scary.
It's so scary to think that without a pet, you'd have so much more freedom.
That's my 2 cents.
