So I am reading this book called "Easier Than You Think (because life doesn't have to be so hard)" - its by Richard Carlson, Ph.D... the book is all about the small changes one can make in their life which when added together make huge impacts toward happiness & getting the most out of life. Well, the chapter I read the other night was about *choices*... yes, for you parents out there - this is

Never has it been more apparent than this visual of what a West-Coast girl I am... have always known it, even voiced it... but wow - with all that red against all that white, I feel a bit ashamed.

Three screen names that you have had: hmm1, hmm2 & hmm3Three things you like about yourself: my sense of humor; my laugh; I think I can be kind.Three things you don't like about yourself: sometimes I shout when I don’t mean to; I procrastinate; I’m becoming irresponsible.Three parts of your heritage: 2/3rds Irish; assume a bit of German as my Nana’s maiden name was Heinz; the rest is good ol’ US

Wow... so its been over two months since my last post... crazy. I wish I could say that my lack of blogging was due to the fact that I won the lottery and have been traveling the globe - or that I met someone that essentially made time stop - or that I made peace with my inner-demons so that I no longer needed to vent on-line... but alas, none of those things happened. I just didn't have the urge

So what did I do on my Friday night... rented some videos for the Wee, built a fire and voted!It all started when the video-nazi store was out of Bionicles 2, so instead the Wee went with The Three Little Pigs - we are talkin' old school Disney - but he loves it - actually belly-laughs while watching it! (my use of the word "belly" is ok cause I am referring to a child... for those that don't

... nothing like the"gay 'ol blues"... so nice. Gifted is what I say... as does E. CF plays the part of the "not good" so very well - humble you might even say... but as E describes - he actually has talent. As with all that he does - he excels. What is that like? To be good at everything you try? E is like that as well... as L so eloquently said, "You can f***in play!" Looks like we might have

So tonight I went out with the guy who canceled our original date due to illness... we went to the 'Zana - which was bueno since I love that place. His favorite dinner was also my personal favorite - rotisserie chicken, mashed spuds, sauted green beans & the best darn gravy ever!! "So we had that going for us, which was nice." In all sincerity, from the very beginning it was very comfortable...

... no not me and you, cause we both know that can't happen. I had a date this week - but he canceled cause he got sick - and before we go to the "he blew me off" stage - I do believe that he was truly ill... but the communication since has been "ew" to say the least. I don't like it when I am trying to get to know someone and they keep turning the conversation to the physical. That is what this

So I went out on a breakfast date - a blind breakfast date... I had talked with this guy via e-mail a few different times so we decided to meet. He was nice - he chose a breakfast place with some typical PDX character that served Stumptown Coffee (which was bonus points) - so all was looking good. TILL the discussion turned to the ARSENAL of WEAPONRY he feels the need to have... not a few guns -

So last week the Wee started Kindergarten... it went great. He was so brave and sure of himself. I was so proud. He really has taken to it, which makes it super easy on me. My only issue is with the after school program he is in... kids from k-5th are in it - and I am not so impressed by some of the brats who attend. Probably not fair of me to refer to other children as brats - but seriously a

Had a decent weekend... bridal shower for D was fun - she has nice friends, I definately had to be the one introducing myself first or I would have speant the time mingling with the dog - but no big deal. Highlight of weekend was running into my old friend T at the shower Saturday night - I was hoping she would be there. T and I worked together at a sports store in the local mall in High School -

So here is the deal... I LOVE MY FAMILY. For real, I do... I truly have no idea what my life would be like if I didn't have the relationship & connection that I have with my family. I can even get myself to tear up just thinking about what it would be like if I didn't have them as a constant part of my life. HOWEVER - I truly don't think anyone can piss me off or frustrate me like my family
