Month: January 2003


  • we’re about to head out to Lotta Pinata for dinner.  that’s not what it’s really called; that’s what the girls think it is.  close enough.  I’ve been going there since before I was legal age to drink.  I remember when one of my clique-mates was a bartender there, Tan Dan (it was the 80′s).  it was the hottest pre-funk ticket in town, dollar drinks before 6, and free chips.


    now I just go there for the tamales.


    the man’s building cabinets in the tv/laundry room.  they look pretty durned good.


    I’m being sanctioned for foul language, well, SHAMED, I should say.  if he actually wants me to STOP, he should ask.  in the words of fp:  chuh!


    I went to the futon store for a bean bag chair and a zen clock (you know, the kind that wake you up with a soft bell), but came out with a three foot long basket (with lid) and a chenille/velvet blankie and pillow…oh and a mint/eucalyptus eye pillow.  if the basket had been bigger I might have napped in it…the girls took turns.   instead, I took my blankie and pillows upstairs and dozed while the little people played Coffee Shop.  all I had to do was grunt when they asked me what I wanted and occasionally make some slurping sounds.  I’ve had worse naps.  eventually they get bored and go bother someone else.


    they’re getting a new selection of beanbag chairs in two weeks.  I liked the looks of the clock with the zodiac instead of numbers.  excellent.


  • we had that talk today…with out son…about drugs.
    we said if somebody offers you drugs
    you’d better share.

  • a forward:


    INNER PEACE

    I’m passing this along to you, as I consider you a
    valued friend. This works for me. I think, it will work for
    you. I have found inner peace.
     
    I recently read an article that stated: The best way
    to achieve inner peace is FINISH things you have started.
    So, today I finished two large bags of potato chips, a
    lemon cream pie, a fifth of Amaretto, a small box of
    Godiva chocolate candy, and slapped the living hell
    out of someone I have never liked.
    I feel better already!

    Please pass this along to a friend who is in need of
    inner peace.

  • when I was in high school, I repeatedly got in trouble for refusing to say the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of each day.  I never understood how they thought they could punish me for that.  freaky crazy.


    I won’t pledge allegiance to a flag…I don’t recognize “god”‘s sovereignty over me…I don’t BELIEVE in god…and in ANY case, I don’t pledge allegiance to ANYTHING except my friends and family.  I could, however, get behind a pledge to attempt to treat all others like friends and family, but I don’t see why that should be exclusive only to americans.


    I just felt I needed to explain the poster below.  it seemed to have been misunderstood by a few.


    here’s another one…







  • mAmazon asked if the six year headache was metaphorical.  I WISH.  it’s my damned allergies.  I’m allergic to cats, dogs, trees, grass…lotsa stuff.  in the last six years I have been either pregnant or nursing, so I couldnt’ take anything for it (except for one short stint when I got shots).


    if it gets really bad, I take some sudafed (which I’m not supposed to have, on account of my heart), but generally I just manage.  I meditate and have learned to short circuit the idea of the pain.  it’s still there, but I’ve tricked my mind into not feeling it.


    this works pretty well for me, but consequently, I have a difficult time assessing my own pain.  it’s more of an on/off thing for me, than a spectrum.  okay, maybe big/small/off.


    I can take claritin now, but it doesn’t always work for me.  nothing works all the time.  alternative healing seems to just work better for me (non-physical).


    I have no idea why this type is the wrong color.  bleah.

  • Silence in the Medicate exhibition   I been a sickie.


    at least it waited till the kids were mostly done being sick.  that’s the worst, taking care of others when you’re beating down death’s door yourself.


    I really really hate not being able to breathe out of both nostrils.  I hate blowing my nose every three minutes.  I hate not being able to sleep. 


    I sound like a diseased frog…everyone within earshot is deeply disturbed by my snorkage.  it’s disgusting, even to me.


    I booked a sitter last week, for this week…I decided, HELL, the kids aren’t sick, so it’s not going to make any difference to HER!  I’m getting the hell outa here, even if it means I’m just snorking nosegoblins elsewhere.

  • good lord and butter.  I just got up to go to bed and said goodnight to my computer.  I have officially lost my shit.
