Diamonds

Yes, diamonds are beautiful. This pic was from a postcard that I found somewhere in Nashville. Anyway, on the back it says 'Happy Anniversary'. I thought it quite sweet and it made me smile.

I'm old

Yes, I'm old. Really old. I had a birthday last week and I hate being in my 30's. I would love to go back to my 20's. Those were the days!

I ended up having an interview the morning of my birthday - big mistake! Had to get up early, drive 25 miles, have a horrible interview etc. Really messed up my day. But it was my mistake - I really thought I was going to hear back from a different job that I thought I had in the bag, but they keep putting me off with a decision. Ugh. So, I said I would go to the interview on my birthday never intending to keep it...and then I actually had to go on it b/c the other hasn't decided yet. Ugh. I hope I get a job soon.

How can they do that?

My Fourth of July sucked. I LOVE this holiday so much - it is my 3rd favorite holiday of the year, and it sucked. Not just a little bit but a lot.

The day started out well, with a much needed 4.25 mile run at the gym. Then, off to get some free cake downtown to celebrate America's birthday. Had a nap. Then was ready to go see the fireworks. We stopped by and picked up a friend and then we were off.

The second we got there and settled, it started to rain. Luckily, we brought umbrellas just in case. But it rained and rained and rained. We sat in the rain with our chairs and umbrellas for 2.5 hours listening to a good band. 10:45pm rolls around and it is still pouring rain. I just want to see the fireworks. They annouce something and we couldn't quite hear it, but we heard them say 'Go home.' So, a mass exodus occured and we started walking the 2 miles home.

We got about half way home and we heard people in the street say that they are going to do the fireworks at 11:30pm. I couldn't believe it! We walked buy a bar with the tv on and sure enough they were broadcasting the fireworks. By the time we got home, they were over.

I AM SO MAD! How can they do that? All the die-hard fans that just wanted to see the fireworks, were told to go home and they weren't even home by the time the fireworks started.

Like I said, what an awful Fourth of July.

It's official...

I'm unemployed. Well, not exactly. I got laid off from my job and my last day is next week sometime. My job went to India. Ugh. I like the people of India. I liked the 2 weeks that I visited there in 1999. But, I don't like them stealing my job.

So, the next logical question is....should I be a stay at home mom or find another job?


I'm not a kid person. I am not naturally drawn to children. I don't speak their language. I'm not a silly person - which is what my son likes.

So, maybe I should go back to work and earn some money for the fam.

Decisions....Decisions....

Happy Birthday Cassidy!

Yes, today would have been Cassidy's 15th birthday. I guess I'm the only one who remembers when her birthday is.



This is my beloved Cassidy. I miss her so. What a wonderful and loyal cat.
She slept on my bed every night in high school. At times, she was my only friend - at least the only friend who understood me. She would lick away the tears that fell so freely.

I MISS and LOVE you CASSIDY!

Why Oh Why?

I am so sad. Very sad. My heart is ripping apart.

My cat that I grew up with was put to sleep yesterday. I think she was unjustly put to sleep - so that my father can get rid of her. He says she was sick and not eating for the past 2 weeks. He never took her to the vet in the past 2 weeks to see what he could do for her. He never even told me she was sick. I'm not really happy with my father right now.

Actually, this euthanasia of my beloved cat has got me so angry with my father. Among the other things he has done to me over the past 9 months this is the cherry topper.

Honestly, the only reason I'm still talking to him is to get some furniture from his house in a week. After that, I think I will put a big distance b/w him and myself. He is really not my father anymore - he has change (i.e. 180 degrees) in the past 9 months that I hardly recognize him as the loving father that helped rear me.

Sorry to sound so depressed, but I'm very sad. I lost my Cassidy.
