The day’s auspicious beginnings – walk Loca and see B with Taylor – she’s telling me about something innocent, a discussion amongst friends, but I’m hearing something else – the underlying messages that are being sent are registering on my face till B asks, “You okay?” Yes, I say, a little teary. Good god, stop the madness I think, so I walk good and long through the park, and go good and long through my…
Mom had a cigarette burn in the corner of her eye. I asked her what up with that and she said she was trying out Chinese torture.
City Park was a buzz with kids and parents and SNOW – yes that’s right – they brought the snow machine out when it was something like 78 degrees outside and humid and made snow for the kids on Christmas. Odd, huh?
I wrote much earlier about the hand shaking phenomenon – that there are those lovers in your life who make your hand shake and those are the ones you have to watch out for because they got you – whatever that is, they got it. So my friend gets a dozen roses and a box of chocolates sent to her and her hand is shaking as she takes out the card because she thinks it…
G and E came over and we had a PJ party. G brought Fatty Patty who we dressed up and put the antlers on and put her in the window as our Christmas decoration. We had all the Ab Fabs that I had bought for a friend as a Christmas present but never gave her. We ate chocolate and drank champagne and danced on the stools.

The song got to me – kind of unsuspecting. I was going along and then boom, out of the blue, the lyrics that have been in my head are coming from you. So I went to sleep that night, and at 3AM I woke on my right side, holding you, smelling you, I could feel your hair in my face, but at 3AM in my grogginess I realized it was a pillow I was holding…
I remember I am a work in progress, growing, changing and becoming more every day. That is my affirmation this morning – this pic is Christmas Eve morning – the sun coming up again outside my window.
I’m going offline to figure out how to be disconnected. Last night Gul said I look like a flame in my red dress with my red hair. Flame on!
You got me on this one…….I made a CD for you but it had too many love songs and we are disengaged – but I put this song on and took it off about a dozen times – complete coincidence you offered it up today? – sometimes things are just too close for comfort – I have no comfort – leave me be!….I’m disengaging – my skin is crawling – you’re skin is crawling –…
