I have been gone almost two weeks, and I am still alive…
The past two weeks have involved a myriad of things, like a mess at LAX (including one of my suitcases being deemed ‘abandoned’ and therefore a security risk), lots of poopy diapers, screaming children, flat tires, massive sleep deprivation along with a serious case […]

Today it hit 100F/39C and in our house? It was 96F/38C. Why, you ask? Because the antique in the back room said ‘Adios’ and went to the giant junk heap in the sky. I have never been so miserable in my life, I swear. Even last summer was better than […]

I am a bit overwhelmed right now, trying to stay on top of everything and preparing to be gone for two months. While kicking off a couple of large projects at work. And I am leaving in one week. Yeeeesh. I am flying through New Zealand on the trip to the […]

Today, I got up today and asked myself what the date was. January 8. Eight is my favorite number. It is a comforting shape to me, curves and all, and can be interpreted as the symbol of infinity. If you want to be silly, it also can be interpreted as […]

Tonight the Wookie and I went to see Blood Diamond - I had wanted to see it but most of all it was done to get out of the burning inferno of helfire that is our house.
It was very interesting - Constant action. Two and a half hours and I never looked at my […]

I can’t sleep.  It’s soooo hot.  Like every part of my body is sweaty, and not in a good way!
My poor herb garden is drooping.  The cats haven’t moved since 8AM.  I haven’t bothered to do my hair or put on makeup.  You would just see a mudslide on my face.
The only good news is […]

At the risk of stumbling in front of millions, or in my case, maybe two people, I want to throw out to the universe that my main goal for 2007 is Painting. Setting up a serious business selling fine art paintings. That I paint.  I love to paint.  It is an experience like no […]

I am going back to the States for a work project for 7.5 weeks!!! Leaving in a week and a half. It freaked me out a bit because I had resigned myself to the fact that I wasn’t going to see my family and friends for the next 6 months to a year. […]

My big Brutus, Becker, asleep on the table in my office. His is a big, big cat. Definitely a ladie’s man.

And his accomplice, Monty. Monty is a very sensitive, prissy cat. I keep telling the Wookie that he is our gay son. Doesn’t that look just say “I vant to […]

And as I woke up today, I remembered one completely wonderful item that I forgot to mention yesterday about the inspection - the possibility of ducted Air Conditioning in my future!
Why? Because the Wookie had woken up early and put on the large, antiquated AC unit in the back of the house. My […]
