feck off u

Mr. McKenna--How many times are you gonna say, "I'm never drinkin' again"? AND MEAN IT?! Alls I can say at this point is DON"T HURT YOURSELF! That's what me supervisor says ta me when I try to push 3 book trucks at the same time or lift heavy furniture over me head. When ya drink and smoke like there's no tomorrow, it's time for a beautiful woman to tuck ya into bed...what a ya expect? BTW..That cover of "Catholic Girls" by Zappa was so funny--lmao! That singer dude was so funny in the middle of the song with his illustrative moves! Ya got that right, Al! Thank you, man.

Michelle--My heartfelt prayers and best desires for your sister's surgery and recovery. Sisters make wonderful friends and allies in this crushing world.

Saturday at the library was another crushing day for me. More tears and retreats to the private office to try to sort me-self out. So much to do when people leave piles of books/media all over the tables and floors. People and books everywhere! It's nice when people give me media and books to put away instead of leaving them on the floor and spread out all over the furniture.

I'm at least 3 or 4 pages behind on posts. AND WHERE IS MARITIME the prince of the Netherlands? He makes me laugh with his Dr. Clogs persona. I hope there is another chapter on the way. It is a fact that Joe and Steve Vai love visiting the Netherlands--I have Steve Vai's DVD of his musical adventure with the METROPOLE orchestra. Great musical collaboration!

Chee101--How is you and your Chris? I guess being a mom is complicated--so much goin' on with your wishes and prayers for your youngin. My younger sister looks to me to be a brilliant mom with her two kids--my nephew and niece. At 4-years-old my niece fell in love with a sweet little boy and had compassion on him when he went through a crisis. She hugged him and planted a kiss on his cheek. Then the crisis was over. He hugged her back. She invited him to her birthday party when she turned 4 and 5. He was fascinated by the bubble machine at the party and wanted to know how it worked. He and his family have since moved to Sacramento. Little Miss Tiffany cried when she found out he had moved away. Gee, amazing how love blooms at such a young age! What a generous niece! Her older brother was interested in girls at a young age as well. Kids are amazing!

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well. I have been busy with work and running. I put in about 1 hour of the elliptical (hill training) after my last post. I ran for 2 hours and 20 minutes yesterday and put in about 18 miles. Now my legs are hurting really bad. Hopefully they will be better tomorrow when I go back to work. I also got to celebrate my niece's birthday and that went really well. She turned 4 years old and was happy with everything.

As for my birthday, well, it was not what I expected. My friends wanted to take me out and I wanted to go to the bar I like to go to (close to downtown), but they didn't want to and we end up going to some other bar that is about a few miles away. To sum it all up, I was not able to get my Mojito, a couple of my friends started arguing and fighting with each other, and I end up driving home two of my other friends home because they were too tired and drunk. I was not happy to what they did for me. The only thing that was good was that I was smart and the others were acting stupid and dumb. They owe me big time!

All right, time to get caught up again!

Zinc Master: How's it going? I am resting my legs for the next few days. I put in quite a bit of running yesterday. Still thinking about Valpo. Not to certain if I will be able to do it or not.

Do the Stu: How's it going? I hope work is getting better for you. I am thinking about getting a second job. I do have a couple places lined up.

SuperSwingDog: Dave, thanks for the e-mail. How are things going with you and the family?

Michelle: Prayers to your sister on her surgery and recovery. How are you and the family holding up?

Ibanezplyr: How's it going? I haven't had a chance to check out your music yet, but hopefully I will get to it soon. How's that foot of yours? My legs are hurting now since running yesterday for 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Igneousiceman & Pip Satriani: How's it going with you guys? Running is coming along well. If I don't run, I do the elliptical in our fitness room, or I do flights of stairs.

Satriella: How's it going with you? Do you have any more posts for us?

Skippygirl: How's it going with you? As for my birthday, I was not able to get my Mojito, but I will soon. My friends owe me one. My birthday was not the best for me, but I tried to keep cool and positive as best I can. Anyway, my next run is coming up in three weeks. Hope my leg pain will stop soon.

Maritime: How's it going with you over there in the Netherlands? By the way, which part of the Netherlands are you from?

JS1200JS1000--I didn't mean to but in. Just wanted to say hi and wish ya well. ;-)

Millie, Chris is fine. He just turned 21 and had a good birthday, I've delivered him home safe and sound, he's gotten all his new stuff set up and organized so he's a happy camper :) I've mentioned it here before, but it was before your time I think...Chris has Aspergers Autism, OCD and anxiety so he has some challenges. We just have to take it a day at a time, and when things get rough, we take it a minute at a time. He lives in a developmental disability foster home about 2 hours away from me, one way....so we talk on the phone every day and I see him at least once a month. And now that he's back in his home again....I miss him. He always leaves behind a hole here in my house when he's gone and I have to let some tears go each time. It never gets any easier...but he's doing okay, and is mostly happy, and that's what's most important to me. At least while he's here there is life in this house. He'll be back in 3 weeks for my birthday weekend. I was going to totally ignore it, but my mom brought it up to him and of course he wants to come home to help celebrate. So I guess that's what we'll do.

Glitz....things are okay, happy birthday, if I forgot to say it this past week. Sorry things didn't turn out the way you'd hoped...sometimes friends can be a pain in the butt eh? You should do something very special next year for your 25th.

Alan....you have about 5 more years on yer current kidneys and liver honey, then yer in trouble. Maybe slow it down just a tetch?? If you do, I'll make u tons of sammitches :) Or even buy you Chinese food next time I see you.

now I got a job at Star Cinema,

wow, drivers license and a job on the same weekend!
