My neighbor is reporting dead birds, dead dolphins and more is yet to come from this oil spill mess. My other neighbor doesn’t want to talk about it, her two sons work for BP and one said that, “You know what it is like to get up every morning and work for the most hated company in the world?” Meanwhile reports say the top kill effort might be working. What a mess!
I met on Monday the woman who introduced me to the attorney who led us to Tin. She has four children now, one adopted via the same attorney. We shared our stories and of course, sentimental fool that I am, I welped up right away. Where would my life be had my friend and colleague not taken a proactive stance to force me to talk to her friend who had successfully adopted? The long crazy…
I dreamed last night that a friend was lurking in my shed and when I went in there to see why Loca had been locked in the shed, I found a newborn baby covered in amniotic fluid. A baby girl. She had blonde hair and she was so tiny, she almost reminded me of my little Miracle baby niece when she was born. I quickly got a towel and wrapped her in it and called…
I’m staying at The Alex on 45th Street and in the elevator is a green light that says when it is lit, help is on the way. I just want a green light in my office or bedroom at home that says the same thing. I could just flip a switch and the green light would act like a placebo fooling me into believing that help is on the way.
So last time I was in New York it was the skinny head bands worn low on the forehead and the enamel bracelets – this time it is FitFlops – everybody is wearing them and they are reported to help you lose weight and stay fit. Good grief! Flip Flops are the worst shoes any woman or man could wear – they have no arch support and they give you hammer toes.
Sometime this afternoon, I had had enough of everything and so I changed into some comfortable shoes and went out to explore New York on this fine spring day. I stumbled across a Clark’s shoe store and went in and bought Tin some new sandals as he is already outgrowing the ones he just started wearing only two months ago. Then I stumbled across a theater that had Please Bring playing and so I turned…
With the cluster fuck going on in the Gulf over BP’s irresponsible handling of an oil leak gush of proportions that most of us might never know the repercussions in sum, I bring you several thoughts on the subject: A) Thoughts by Rachel – very unfortunate accident and then reaction by BP in a crisis. They say when the going gets tough, the tough get going, but BP has proven to be a poor communicator,…
I love Wonder Woman – first of all I like her outfit and so when I was doing my behavior modification treatment to overcome anxiety and panic disorder, the coach told me to think of someone I’d like to be and embody for a moment how that person would react to the same issue. So when I felt like I couldn’t drive on a freeway, or a bridge, or other areas that I had become…
Since T injured her knee and I’m on the road, she’s been taking the dogs to the new dog park in City Park. And they LOVE it. Loca gets over there and digs to China and once she has dug sufficiently, she then lies herself down in the cool earth. Heidi chases the ball like there is no tomorrow. Both dogs come home tired, spent, and happy as clams. What a great idea to have…
The other day I dreamed that Tin was talking and sure enough when T and I were reading his nighttime story, we turned to the page with the sheep and he said very clearly and distinctly, Baa Baa. Why farm animal sounds tickle us, I don’t know, but I definitely see a huge progression in his understanding. It seems like weeks ago he was struggling to understand just what we were telling him and now…
