who would i be?

babette? no. although i feel as disconjointed as her sometimes.

miss patty? no.

liz, gypsy, lulu? no, no, no.

i'm not a rory or a lane.

would that make me sort of a lorelei, i do have an emily in my life.

elizabeth could be a lane, i think.

every lorelei needs her sookie.

i just read that amy sherman-palladino (sp) wants to do a 2 hour GG reunion movie. just what i've been saying for a month!!!

emily gilmore, mr. wizard & the health dept.

first of all, i want to acknowledge that mr. wizard died this past week. i owe my love of science to him - he was awesome, more so than his canadian youth counterparts.
so i'm still responsible for the convalescing, german emily gilmore. and that's not really her name, just her personality. i haven't seen her since sunday and here's why:
e.g. 'i don't know what i'm going to do. i can't make that trip to north carolina.'
j.t. 'well, i can get that camper i wanted and you can live in it. it would be like your own apartment.'
e.g. 'no!'
j.t. 'then (b.t.) can live in it and you can take her room.'
e.g. 'i can't live with you, the health department wouldn't let me live in those conditions.'

okay, 2 kids and 2 dogs does not make for squalor!!!
i was totally insulted.

another new day

thanks for your comments on my last post. i feel alot better today. especially after i 'laid my burden on the altar' this morning. i love you guys!

a place most miserable

i got home from my trip to my mom's to a home where a man has lived for 5 days and not fed the fish of watered the plants or swept the floor. in addition, he left the following day to go out of town for the rest of the week. this wouldn't be so bad except that i'm am now caring for my grandmother who has had a sudden and rapid decline in her mental facilities. i don't mind caring for her, but she feels she has to keep reminding me how bad she's doing. that's all she talks about.
jesus take the wheel!

poor poor paris... booooo hooooooo! i can barely see through my tears to type this. she didn't do anything to deserve such harsh treatment. i mean drunk driving a couple of times. driving without her license a couple times. violating probation a couple of times. i mean, it's not like she should be treated like all the scum of the earth that is everyone else except platinum members of the celebutante club. (my membership card was lost in the mail) it's not like anyone was in danger. it's not like she broke any laws. i think it's just that everyone is jealous and vindictive of her obvious beauty and well-bred upbringing.

bus driver butt

i drove over 7 hours straight yesterday to visit me mum. we went through 4 movies.
finding nemo
mulan
home on the range
harry potter and the goblet of fire
all i had was a few bites of a bad gas station sandwich and a few cheez-its washed down with a little gatorade.
my bro graduates today and won't be at my sister's wedding, so it's my last chance to see him before college.
my friend wrote a song she wants me to sing and we got together last week so she could sing it for me as a demo.
how many more disconjointed sentences of roughly the same length can i type out before i run out of ideas?
happy june 7 to everyone!

our weird family tree

my sister's getting married next month. on the biggest wedding day of the last quarter century 07/07/07. see if you can follow:
she's marrying a guy whose sister is married to my husband's cousin's half brother.
pretty much, we're going to be related to that family on both sides.
my brother-in-law's sister
joe's cousin's wife
same person.
at least no blood relations.


connect the dots and you get a map of freakin' alabama!

i'm not josie grossie anymore!!!!

but i once was.

in junior high i was sooo josie grossie. i had nothing going for me. bad hair: check. braces: check. glasses: check. baby fat: check. questionable hygiene: check. few friends: double check.

maybe some of you (all 4 of you) reading this have seen never been kissed and thought, things aren't really that bad. people don't really do those things. think again. if you were treated like this yourself, let me know and we can compare notes. if you treated someone like this, shame on you. here is just a sampling:

having the nicknames dead grass (which evolved into), weedwacker - because of my frizzle frazzle hair

every boy in the class tossing little paper wads into my hair because it would stick

having a phone relationship with a boy for weeks only to find out that it was 2 girls in my class prank calling me - and everyone knew

being elected class president, but then the class is convinced by a cool guy that they should impeach me

having a particularly gifted artist render a drawing of me simpson's-style. very unflattering

being allowed to select our own seats in a class based on gpa. i was first, and then no one sat within a 6 foot radius of me by the end of it

being asked (in a mocking way) by a very large mean girl why my teeth were yellow - do you see the irony?

being ambushed by a gang of boys and totally covered in shaving cream. it was supposed to be an initiation for our new youth pastor. we were given cans of gillette and told to get him, but they surrounded me, and i became stay puft. surprisingly not as fun as it sounds

going to a new school (new start, right?) and having the amazon twins shove me in a shower in the locker room. yeah, and the water was on. and cold

high school past with me being neither popular or unpopular - i simply did not exist.

my renaissance came when i went to college (albeit a concentration camp with the barbed wire pointed in) and was blessed with a few of the best friends a girl could have. and in a nonconformist sort of way, we were popular. i was popular! swarms of guys around us like flies on a carcass. granted, i never dated any of them.

but tink did. love you!!

i'm not josie grossie anymore.

triscuits & havarti

that's right. the only thing missing is a fine wine. although, i do not know what exactly makes a fine wine fine, but you know. i wouldn't consider having had any 'fine' wine. just some $5 stuff that made hubby's cheeks turn red. cheap stuff.
i just found out that a guy i went to school with portrayed someone on america's most wanted. hahaha! that's funny. i'm gonna hafta find that.

i have so much going through my mind and yet, so little to say. tink's really nervous about her surgery. i know she'll get through it alright, but the following week will be tough. i hope you have a 24 hr caretaker lined up for that first week.
love you, dear.
