I have today and tomorrow left to do laundry, pack bags, work two days, see Rusted Root, and get about a million other little tiny things done. Ugh. If I manage to finish Jess' gift before I actually get there, it'll be a miracle.

I laid in bed for about 2 hours last night. Unable to sleep. Unable to move. Just waiting. I should have been doing laundry, because now I have nothing to wear to work.

heyjana is going to take Umlaut!!
She has a kitty (who she says can hold his own) and a dog. If for some reason, he just doesn't work out, she has an Aunt that lives in the country with LOTS of land and he can be brought there, as a last resort.
Thank you, Jana. Thank you [...]

I will not feel bad for things that are somehow expected of me that are outside of my control. I will try to help. I will try to console. I will try to be supportive. However, I will not feel bad for things that are somehow expected of me that are outside of my control. [...]

I know this should be a poll, but I'm hoping that by forcing you to leave comments, I'll get more informative and thought-filled responses.
Umlaut has to go. This has been determined. All the no-kill and kill shelters that I have called are not accepting animals. I have called quite a few of them. The SPCA [...]

People always take the time to document the extraordinary. Via photography, journalism, poetry, art, or any other method of expression in use, those things that are extraordinary are documented with care and passion. However, there is very little focus on those mundane aspects of everyday life. I realized this yesterday as I was rummaging through [...]

I should be asleep by now,
but I am mesmerized by you.
I am entranced,
waiting for you to toss
your head to one side
or breath deeper than usual.
With naked chest
and breast and soul,
each rise and fall
offers me peace.
I inhale and
The sweet smell of
the sweat of your sleep
draws me in.
You breathe in,
coaxing the fear and doubt
I have bottled inside
to [...]

I've been playing hair stylist all morning.
Still not happy with it. Too short. Not enough there. It'll fill out in a couple of weeks, maybe I'll like it more then.
I got an email from my baby this morning, and you didn't. Neener.

I called all the Kill Shelters in Dallas. They are either not answering their phones, or are not taking animals. The SPCA was my last option. I called them. The girl that answered said that I needed to call "receiving" at 1:00pm and get instructions from them, but that she wanted me to know that [...]
