Irony
Shows I was not allowed to watch as a child: You Can’t do that On Television (They said, “shut up” and I wasn’t allowed to say that.) Married…with Children (Um…well, duh.) The Simpsons (Bart Simpson was a bad role model.)…
This quote made me smile.
From Ryan’s blog, by Ryan: “I kind of wish that there was a spot on the ballot that merely says ‘abstain.’ I register my presence as a part of the process, but I cannot in good conscience vote for either…
No, I don’t think this is ok.
Look at what Jamie Pressly (My Name is Earl) wore to her 30th birthday party.That lovely man is her husband.This is not ok.She looks like an In Living Color fly girl.He looks like an idiot. Disappointing. **OH wait. I just…
Sad, sad news.
My iPhone update.
As it turns out, life can be hard. It can be cruel. Living in paradise has it’s cons.So what if I have the beach 2 seconds away?So what if it’s always sunny and never rains here?So what if life is…

Just looking on gap.com for the ‘ole niece (see below) and look at how cute this onesie is. 🙂 I love that it’s part of the Gap’s red campaign. Hee hee. Cute. Available here. $15.

Ah, yet another work phrase.
Quick little apple survey
Where do you stand with apple/macs? (Check all that apply) I own/work on a mac computer. I would love to HAVE a mac computer. I have no plans to ever go mac. I own an iPod. I own an iPhone….
Heaven
I love the sound of wine chimes. The effortless melodies make me happy. (My sister bought us one and it hangs in our courtyard and I heard it while I was laying in bed last night. Lovely.)I have learned, though,…
![When I was a kid, my Mom would sometimes go to the grocery store at night while my baby sister and I were "supposed" to be sleeping. Baby sister slept, I stood by the window and watched for her headlights to turn back into the driveway, my stomach a gnarled mess while I waited.
The entire time she was gone I would create ill-fated stories in my mind that would ultimately leave her injured, kidnapped, or left for dead... I think these stories got worse after my Dad died. "What if I lose my one parent?"
I would stand there and worry.
And she always came back.
In one piece.
Over time, after therapy when I was younger, I realized that worrying doesn't shape anything... worrying doesn't CHANGE the outcome... but, it's real.
Telling someone not to worry is about as effective as telling someone not to cry when they're in the midst of full-sobbing or it's like asking someone WHERE they lost the thing that they lost.
"I can't find my keys."
"Where did you lose them."
[silence]
"Um, if I knew where I lost them, then..."

This time that we're living through right now is BIG and heavy and for the love of ALL THINGS HOLY it keeps on going.
I remember watching The Sound of Music when I was a kid and wondering when in the WORLD it would end. We're STUCK in the Sound of Music.
Schools opened, then closed.
Masks on, then off.
Life started, and stopped.
We've missed get-togethers and holidays.
Weddings and births.
We are as disconnected as ever.
Our worrying and concern and fear and anxiety is there... and it's real.
I see you.
I know this time is hard.
I'm not going to tell you to stop feeling the feelings, I just want you to know that I'm feeling them, too. (And therapy is helping.)
Get yourself a therapist.
Talk about all of this.
As I told one of my girls this week, “It’s ok not to be strong all the time.”
With love,
