My sister called me this morning. My grandfather has cancer, stage four, has possibly around six months to live.
He's the only grandfather I have ever known. My other grandfather died when my dad was 4.
He's well over 80, so I suppose it's the way of things. But stil...

I went to Nikki's web page today and read her journal entries for the first time in a really, really long time. I read through them from SG and Deadjournal.com.
I have been avoiding it for so long. It hurt to read. Nikki always seems to be wanting apologies from me, for things I've either already apologized for several times or that I don't need...

I did the craziest thing ever! On Friday, I took my camera with me to Lake Calhoun and took photos of myself and the lake front along the way, downloaded them onto my computer and made a web page of all of the pictures along with text as though I was writing to a certain someone, like we took an afternoon to enjoy the lake...

Christ! Teaching is one hell of a motherfucker! So, I had my first class on Tuesday and I frankly think I blew it. I hope my natural charm and self-deprecating humor won them over. I seemed to keep most of their attention throughout the hour and a half. Twenty students. Only one or two of the guys in the class were staring off into the...

I luv talking to you too. 
Let's talk again.....
Let's talk again.....Yesterday was fantastic! It was my first 8 hour day since August 18th. I went from campus to campus, upgraded Macs and got info on things I needed to do for class today. I'm totally pumped to teach! Woo hoo!
I met some cool people and one of them, a woman named "Tara" was very funny. People were really nice, including students. I watched someone...

I have started a relationship with Penelope Cruz. She is my interim girlfriend. Last night I was watching "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" and there were all these things that Penelope Cruz's father said that were, to me, some of the wisest things I've heard.

In my experience, love has been just another four letter word.
those were some good quotes tho.

There's nothing quite like watching someone lie right to your face. Like, you both know exactly what the truth is. You confront the person and they tell you their story. You tell them you know it's not true, but they still hold to their story. I cannot imagine a more horrible thing to do to someone you love than to lie to them like that....

thanks for your supportive words. I am not however a single mom, although my income reflects otherwise. anyone who is, definately is a superhero, I have no idea how they do it.
here's my take on your journal...I used to think it's okay to omit parts of stories to make it less painful to tell someone what they don't want to hear. let alone lying, I don't agree with doing either ever again after getting burned very seriously. the truth always hurts less and is appreciated more. Why lie to someone if you don't like games?

Oh that just downright blows man. Sounds like you had a fucked up weekend. I hope you feel better soon, babe. *hug*
I have an inexplicable feeling of sadness this evening. I feel a harrowing apprehension to teaching and a feeling of fright about working against the tremendous bureaucracy of MSB with all the stiffs who teach business and such.
That begs the question: what would I be happy with? My old job. I really, really miss working with my bosses and coworkers at Power On. And,...

Every day is a gift, thats why its called the present.
I know I am the queen of cliches but I only say the ones that I feel are true. Maybe it's time to get back to the simple things in life. I think when you try to force yourself to do stuff it doesnt happen. It's when you sit back and just love and enjoy life that everything happens. It will all work out in the end, in the meantime sit back and enjoy the ride!

I spent all day yesterday running errands and painting my upstairs hallway. My lovely mother came over and brought six gallons of water from her well in Big Lake - the best water on Earth - so that I would have something better to drink than the dirty-tasting crap that comes out of the tap.

Jesus. I have so much to say in regards to that . But I cannot. I will not. I only resort to clumsily blurting in your journal when I am tipsy, or overly nostalgic. That shit is clearly defined in the rule book of "you know what" as "you not allowed"
Anyways....you sure do type til' the cows come home. That has to feel pretty good.

Went to the Mill City Museum today. That was very cool. I actually got away with wandering around, all over the place without paying somehow. I didn't even know I had to pay until I started talking to this nice woman who was an expert on the Washburn A Mill. I absolutely LOVE the ruins of the mills on the St. Anthony Falls river-front.

Museums are fun! I wish there was more towns around me with museums. But theres not. And I think the museum here hasnt changed their display since I was in grade 7. That sucks.
Glad you're doing better

I talked to my sister tonight. She's been invited to join the South St. Paul City Council. It kind of all came to be because one member had the hots for her. My sister kicks ass.
My Aunt Mickey came over tonight. She bought us some coffee (Chai Tea for me). I gave her the tour of my house. She loves it. It was nice...

Take the time to be with him, I wish I had had that opportunity.
I lost my favorite Aunt to Cancer. She wouldnt let any of us see her near the end. I wish I had been able to do that as well.
I hope you will be okay. And if you need to talk you know where to find me.
