The good news: the crazy itching that I first went to the doctor's for two weeks or so ago isn't (according to the nurse practitioner I "saw") scabies or any other crazy skin disease like I was worried it might be. The bad news: the Prednisone, Zyrtec (and originally Claritin), Zantac and hydrocortisone cream that I've been taking in various combinations and doses since then don't seem to be

This is how my attempt at keeping a blog always goes: 1. Start blog. 2. Post frequently for a couple weeks. 3. Forget about it/lose interest. 4. Find it again and try to revive it. 5. Start again at #2. But since this is mostly for me, I guess that's alright! I love going back to the couple of places I have blog entries from years ago and seeing what was going on in my life at the time,

I learned a new word yesterday (thanks Nielda!) and it's now a) my favorite word to describe my life and b) my favorite word period. trag⋅i⋅com⋅e⋅dy –noun, plural -dies: 1. a dramatic or other literary composition combining elements of both tragedy and comedy.2. an incident, or series of incidents, of mixed tragic and comic character.In other news... according to the Fresno Superior Courthouse,

It's been a crazy couple weeks, I didn't even realize it'd been so long since I updated this but I guess that makes sense since it hasn't really been an interesting kind of crazy, more of a working a bajillion hours a week kind of crazy... The two exciting things that've happened: 1) The paralegal stealthily filed our paperwork on the 14th. She's still not returning calls to either of us but at

So the craziest thing happened this past week... well, it didn't really happen last week, I just realized it last week. I don't really feel like rehashing the whole story of what an absolute, incompetent moron the paralegal we hired to handle our divorce was so I'll just cut to the chase... the paperwork that I went in to sign at the end of June that made the papers/divorce we'd been waiting for

I'm conflicted about the title of this post... on the one hand, I'm really glad that this crazy, stressful, sleep-deprived week is over; on the other hand, I have so much to get done at work that I feel like I could use either a clone or an extra day or two for the next couple weeks just to get everything done! Oh well, que sera sera. Last weekend while Delilah and I were at Ericka's being nerdy

I've been meaning to write this post all week but it's been a crazy week at work AND at home so these pictures will have to suffice for now... this is the newest inhabitant of my apartment and she's pretty much the most adorable, awesome kitten ever. Expect to see lots of pictures in the future... :)

I had a random thought today that felt worth sharing.... For a long time, I always had someone to (presumably, at least) help keep me accountable-- not to any one thing in particular, just to everything... in a big, general sense. I came to rely on that so heavily, even though it's obvious now that the accountability I needed to be held to wasn't always there, that I've just assumed for the last

This weekend was amazing and crazy and bizarre and so many other words... I loved it! I just feel like writing a quick recap so I don't forget about it. :) So Friday night Ericka had heard about what we thought was going to be a cool MJ tribute in the Tower District so around 9 or 930 we headed to where it was supposed to be and it turned out that it was... a restaurant-- and a pretty small one

Whether my life is calm and quiet or crazy stressful and full of drama, there are so many little things that make me happy and trying to remember that and be thankful for those small things has been something I've worked on really hard over the last year or so. I'm going through a calm period right now and sometimes when that happens I just don't know what to do with myself so this morning on my

First things first-- the highlight of my 4th of July this year was that, unlike last year, it didn't leave any permanent scars! I'm so going to post a picture of the aftermath of last year's neighbors' fireworks show (I tripped on the way home from it, it had nothing to do with the fireworks) when I get home.... This year was pretty low key and relaxing, it was just right... Nielda, Ericka and

Today is a big day for me. It's hard to process all the thoughts running rampant in my head and harder still to siphon out only the ones worth sharing and assemble them into words and sentences that form coherent thoughts rather than inane ramblings but I'll try. Six months ago was the day that Greg and I finally took the step of filing paperwork for a "Dissolution of Marriage" (which seems to be

The Thrills had it right...This weekend started just like every other weekend: breakfast with Ericka at The Fresno Breakfast House (yum!) and then spending most of the rest of the day running errands, cleaning and putting together my new bed frame (since I FINALLY got my mattress)! A successful day overall, but what made it even more successful was Ericka's 9 o'clock phone call asking if I wanted

Funniest. Movie. Ever. If you haven't seen it, go! I saw it with Ericka and Billy on Friday night and we literally laughed from start to finish. By the time we left the theater, my stomach hurt from laughing so much. Seriously, no other words will do this movie justice so just go see it if you haven't yet!

So apparently there's been something wrong with posting comments on here, even though all the settings looked like they should allow anyone that wanted to to post. It seems to be (maybe?) related to the template I'm using. It should be fixed for now but I guess maybe I should figure out how to make it allow embedded comments... or find a new summery one! :)

I was trying to resist blogging about this since it's incredibly nerdy of me but I figure if Jenny can blog about fish and Ericka can blog about larynges (how sad is it that I know the plural of larynx?!) then I can blog about my nerdy interests too!So for those of you who haven't heard about it yet, lots of news came out of Apple's WWDC yesterday-- laptops, the new OS coming in September and of

The last week or so has been blissfully uneventful, un-blogworthy and drama-free except for a couple minor things that are hopefully being quelled before they turn into full-blown drama-- we are so too old for this crap now! Even so, it feels like I still have a ton on my mind and I'm realizing that as hard as I try, I don't always handle that particularly well. I guess these things take time to

I feel like I don't have the ability to form the words right now that are going to express how frustrated I am or make me feel any better. Time for some things to change again...

Whaaaaat a weekend! I guess I'll start from the beginning... Friday night Ericka and Billy had an extra ticket to see Ghostland Observatory at The Mezzanine in San Francisco so we all drove up there when Billy got off work. Getting there was an adventure (note to us: take the 5 SOUTH, not North!) and we thought we might miss a little of the show but we made it in plenty of time to check into our

You know... yesterday was the 19th. I'd been dreading it for weeks but it was nowhere near as bad as I anticipated. In fact, I hardly thought of the significance of it all day. That's definitely a sign of some good progress! Oh, and American Idol was complete bullshit last night-- are they kidding me?! First they have to sing a song that we've already heard... then they each sing a song some old

I feel like this song is a pretty good expression of how I feel about my life right now... it's a constant work in progress but I'm happy with how far I've come!

I've been thinking a lot this last week about what I perceive as a lack of balance in my life and what I can do about it. The last year or so, but particularly the last 6 months, has been one of the hardest times of my life that I've ever had to go through. At one point I wished I could go back a couple years and change the way that things played out but I realized about a month ago that I've
