The hazards of sobreity

Coming up Oct. 1st, I'll have been clean and sober for two years.   At first it was really hard passing up the sleezy bars and liquor stores. I really missed going to meet dangerous characters in dangerous allies to buy weed.   Being drunk and stoned was for a while.. liberating. I do something stupid my friends would laugh it off. I was really drunk at the time was like a get out of trouble free card. Sorry I screwed your boyfriend at the party. I was so drunk I can barely remember it.

a bit of the old soul-searching

So I've been doing too much sitting around thinking and not enough working today, and we all know that's not good on several levels. I think I've sort of figured out the biggest part of this general "the world sucks" attitude I've had going for a while, although that doesn't necessarily mean I know what to do about it. The biggest thing, I guess, is being alone, although it's not about the particular person at all, more that I really only had one person who completely understood me, and now I do

We have babies!

Well, Marina surprised me--though maybe not really. I was talking to my mom yesterday and telling her I thought Marina might be close to having kittens since she seemed to be getting milk.   So last night when Pretty Girl decided to try to dig her way through the door to my computer room, I let her in. She is also pregnant and the last time she had kittens she completely surprised me--didn't even know she was pregnant. So just because she doesn't look big, doesn't mean she isn't ready to

Mood: Excited!

Ive started writing again.   Ive had a nasty little dry spell where I couldnt get anything to come out. Ive got part of my fall anthology post done, and a tiny bit of Love never dies. Maybe In the next few days I'll actually finish a chapter! That'd be great   Fingers crossed I might have something to post early next week, I'm not sure which story yet, but we'll see     I need to say a huge thanks to Kevin (AFF) for not only reading my stories but for the awesome reviews he left last

ARGGHH!

Well, it's only Wednesday and I feel like I've been here for about a month. This is not due to me becoming used to the place quickly, but to the unbelievable, massive, ridiculous amounts of work I've had to do. I don't think I did as much homework in 4 years of college as I've done this week. Just hours and hours a day, every day, and even then I feel unprepared most of the time. I think I've studied for something like 6 or 7 hours today. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking about quitti

Planetary Follies

Astronomers lean toward eight planets August 22, 2006 Stephen Battersby, Prague NewScientist.com Source Link   Finally, astronomers could be homing in on a definition of the word planet. After a day of public bickering in Prague, followed by negotiations behind closed doors, the latest draft resolution was greeted with a broadly friendly reception. If accepted on Thursday, it would be bad news for Pluto, which would no longer be a full-fledged planet.   The crucial change in "draft

More Ramblings

Again I don't have any exciting or earth shattering events to share but I just felt like blogging this morning. I sat here and couldn't really even come up with anything to say, but I'm usually that way then once I get typing I go on and on, so I figured I'd try that! Soooo let's see.   I bought one of those Bissel green machine carpet cleaners last week. We don't reallly have a lot of carpet in our place but we do have two big area rugs that are far too big to just throw in the washer. An

I'm Selling Myself

So my boss is always talking about how our clients don't buy the product first, they buy us first. It's been a slow week. I guess I just need to get out there and "sell myself".   I guess I shouldn't complain though, I've pretty much been taking it easy. It's hard to get back into the habit of working. Especially when I don't have to (I'm an independent, self-employed agent of the company, so unless I do something actively wrong - I. E. damaging to the company - I won't get fired and can

Raccoons On a Space Shuttle

Technical service call...

My DSL went down today.     So I called my ISP worked my way through the menus untill I got to the technical help section. I pressed the keys and got the message I was in a queue. Now remember I'm queuing for connection support...   I get this message... - We may be able to help you on our website, visit www.....etc. What?!? Umm If I could get the bloody website, I wouldnt be calling! So yeh that pissed me off, then I waited another 35 minutes for my call to be answered.   The good part

Everyone

Everyone's got this part inside of them that is so beyond beautiful if you could only see it. It's like if you truly knew the person, any person, in all their glory you'd be so dazzled, so awe-struck, that you'd never want to let them go, never want to look away, even for a second.

Taking a step back

My thought of the day............. At least I can be who I am here on my blog.     I've had a really rough last few days. I'm not going to lie about it. I found out that a problem that I thought was over and done with is still around, and it's been bugging me. So I took today and just spent it thinking about things. Schools about to start and I really don't want to have the same hard time I had last year when I was up until 2 in the morning doing my homework, so I decided to finally give in

I'm back!

So. It's been a while, but it wasn't voluntary, trust me! I haven't had internet, exactly, since I've been here (Sunday). I've been waiting all week for someone to come set me up. Then I found this cable jack under my bed and yay! Except I've got the monitor on a chair, the mouse on my laundry hamper, and the keyboard on my lap, because the cable thing was on the other side of the room from the desk. So between the monitor being at a weird angle and the fact that I'm mildy tipsy, sorry if my spe

What's good for the Gander - Busted.

I was Driving along in my old heap with Mick next to me, and there's a cute guy walking along the pavement, and I'm about to look - then realise it could be a bad move - so I don't, BUT he's caught me.   Beetroot isn't adequate. There isn't a definition for the colour I went.   It suddenly struck me that complete fidelity in a relationship is hugely important. I knew it, but not until that very second did I equate it with my own relationship.   We've had a lot of conversations since that f

Water in my glass; air in my pipes

So they finally processed my insurance license and issued it Monday. Thus I've actually been working this week. Well sort of. I'm off to a rather slow start, but I hear that's typical. Still a bit of a downer though. Still I shan't give up! (nor shall I quit using archaic grammer)   Mostly this week I've been struggling to get on some type of schedule that makes more sense. I guess I'm a little bit closer, but I'm just fighting my natural inclinations to stay up until the early morning

one hundred minus one equals 99

Okay so on the agenda for this 99th blog...   One cute as hell story!   One request from me to my friends.   Kevin - Bardeara's nickname.   Benny taught me something new!   ... and stuff   So this blog begins one day driving down the freeway for the ninety-millionth time today with my son in the back seat and he says to me, "I love you Mom." So I reply, "I love you too!" To which he replies, "I love you three," and before you know it I am saying, "I love you one hundred!" So, the n
