I know that if there is an empty bathroom with seven stalls, you should not come and sit in the one right next to me and pee. I do not want a potty buddy.
I know that the community around that boy in Ohio are full of it when they say he was a great kid and there were absolutely no signs that he was going to lose his shit and shoot up the school. Stop being in denial and love and help your kids people! Our country offers no preventive help for families and would rather just throw folks in jail later. Jails make money y'all! Having worked with kids for a while I know there were several that at age 4, I already knew were going to be trouble. It's pretty hard not to see.
I know that I'm happy that a lot of my favorite musical artists are being featured in movies and commercials. Some people are upset by this. I say MAKE YO' MONEY!
I know that even though last night was crappy restaurant night, it was also, "I had a great talk with Rich and get to love him a while longer" night. So that made the food taste better. It really did.
I know that in 13 days I will have been sober three years, and I am in more disbelief than anyone else about this. I have to thank my sponsor, and all my AMAZING friends for being so rad and supportive. God dammit, I just teared up typing that. I'm such a sissy lala. I know that, and it's okay.
I know that YouTube is no longer blocked at work so I can show you things like this brilliant and beautiful cover: Heartbeats that sounds nothing like the original, but I'm madly in love with them both. Original Version.
I know that today I miss my grandmother something fierce.
I know that I need to be way more happy about the happy times, and way less stressed out about the stressful times.
I know that I am going to make the best chicken with chimichurri sauce and roasted brussel sprouts for dinner tonight. Is it 6 pm yet?
I know that I never realized how much of a social butterfly I was, until I realized even though I said I was going to have a mellow March, I already have plans with six different people for this weekend. Why???? I SWEAR next weekend I'm doing nothing. Oh, except seeing my friend Mia who I stayed with in LA (when we ate with Adam Sandler...kind of).
I know that I feel the blues coming on, but I'm going to just ride it out and hope it passes quickly, instead of fighting something in a battle I can't win.
I know that blogging as short a time as I have, has already helped me to get the demons and crazy thoughts out of me and out in to the interwebz, and it is helping. I want to especially thank miss Abby from Abby Has Issues for her continued support and emails that make me feel like I have a friend that I haven't met YET.
I know that I need to stop typing and go get a muffin. What? I want a muffin!
Happy picture of the day: my huge kitchen. Do you know how many radical Risky Business slides you can do in this kitchen? Hella. That's how many.
Did you get your muffin!? lol I would miss my grandmother too.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the bathroom stalls go, why?!?! I HATE when people do that. Then, they get of the stall and wash their hands at the sink right in front of you. I know you can see me squatting through the crack!! LOL
Glad that you had a great talk with your man ;) It's almost 6, so get on those brussell sprouts. Yum! Now I want them too :) haha
I did! A nonfat blueberry one. It was just what I needed. With a soy mocha!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, why? Leave some space ladies! Gross.
It's almost 6 THERE. It's only 2:41here. I'm so ready for chicken milanesa with chimichurri and roasted brussel sprouts with onions and crispy pancetta.
I'm glad we had a good talk too. Hopefully the tides will turn now. We'll see.
Damn girl, three years sober! Congrats early! I had 15 years on Jan. 22! We rock!
ReplyDeleteMy grandma is till alive, but I sure do miss my grandpa Charlie. I loved him soooo much!
I LOVE brussel sprouts. Got some good recipes for them too...:)
(hey, can you take off your word verification? It really sucks these days because it is so darn hard to read and it takes three/four tries!)
15 years is so awesome. I'll get there some day I will! We ARE awesome.
ReplyDeleteI will figure out how to take word verification off and do so as soon as I can. I didn't even know it was on here. I still know nothing of all this blogging stuff. Yay newbies! Haha.
I love brussel sprouts too. I'll have to look on your blog for some of those recipes. Always looking for new ways to make 'em.
There are so many things I want to say about this post, but I'm scared that this comment won't go through. Plus, if it does, it will probably end up being as long as this post.
ReplyDeleteSo I'll try and shut up and say you know a hell of a lot about a hell of a lot of things. And even though it doesn't feel like it at times, SO many people feel the same way. Well, at least I do.
THREE YEARS!!! Unbelievable.
"I need to be way more happy about the happy times, and way less stressed out about the stressful times." Holy crap yes.
I hate when I know I'm slipping back into funkdom, but I also know how to prepare and ride it out. Whether or not I choose to fight it is another story, but because of friendships with people like you, I know I don't have to go it alone.
I know that. So do you. Rock on ;)
You have no idea how happy I am that you can comment now. It seriously made this hell shite of a day at least a little bit better.
