Last night, I met S on the footbridge and we went for a nice long run in preparation for the cemetery run on Sunday. Makes a big difference to run at night with a big guy running next to you. I didn’t think about my safety at all. I remember trying to explain to TL a while back why I wouldn’t take his bike route through City Park – because it positioned me in an…
1) Took a stress test and the technicians were marveling at how good of shape I am in (always a good sign). 2) Eddie Jordan resigned – hip hip hooray! 3) There is one and half more days to the end of hurricane season! Yeah!
H, my down the hall neighbor from when I lived at the Can Company, the guy who used to proposition me on a regular basis in the elevator, knocked on my door today at around 1:30 this afternoon. He said he had seen me on the front porch on Saturday and my face looked so horrible that he had to come by and check on me because he didn’t know what had happened. I told…
From one of my friends I was speaking with last night about accepting who you were before and who you might be changing into now: Today I will take it easy. I will accept that I’ve made mistakes in the past. I will also accept that I did the best I could. Maybe I wish I had made different decisions or handled things differently. But wishes don’t change the past. I can only begin making…
My pumpkins are getting drenched right now but up until today the weather has been outstandingly beautiful – even the waning moon last night was fat as a tick and bright.
I came back from dropping off Jake – and stopped to say hi and goodnight to some friends on the way. They were in the middle of talking about how to know when you are changing your past behavior that didn’t suit you to going overboard in the other direction – the pendulum swinging too far to the other side – and I asked, well how do you know when you’re in the middle. I…
Typical Monday – too much to do on the to do list to ever think you’ll accomplish any of it. Then a deep breath and picked up Jake this afternoon from school and I was trying to tell him about all the stuff we had to do – get Halloween candy, scrape the barnacles off the canoe, get gas, carve jack-o-lanterns. He said “Halloween candy?” and then became monomaniacal about the idea. Finally, I was…
Here is the progress on the peel – and a photo journal or expose. First, for six weeks prior to having the peel I used prescription strength TriLuma (an acne cream) and my skin care routine became glycolic wash, TriLuma and moisturizer at night and then glycolic wash and daytime moisturizer in the morning and every two weeks a visit to my dermotologist – Elizabeth Dimitri – and she applied for longer periods each time…
I told one of my party revelers from this weekend that I felt like Britney Spears on Saturday morning but by Sunday morn, I felt like her mama. I just got a text from one of my attendees “damn girl, you throw one fuck of a party” – now you know, we do know how to behave here in the South, but sometimes, every once in a Blue Moon or in this case a BIG…
If there is any sight more beautiful than the bayou glistening under the light from my window – I would like to know it.
