A Good Sister, A Good Friend

2007-02-16

I don't open up to people easily. I have a major lack of self confidence when it comes to that. It's especially not easy for me to trust women. Which explains why after living in the south for almost five years, I have yet to develop any friendships down here. But I have six sisters. One of which I am still pretty close with despite her being up in Indiana. Today is her birthday and I sent her a little spa basket thing. She called this morning to thank me for it and to chat. We hadn't talked in quite awhile, but we had started to exchange letters again (something we used to do a lot when we were kids). She's actually my half sister. We share a father, but she grew up living with her mother and stepfather. Anyway, it was great to talk to her again. It reminded me that I'm not alone and that there is some support out there for me. I've e-mailed her a copy of the manuscript and she's going to read it and let me know what she thinks.

Fight

2007-02-15

It occurred to me that I should be hurt that my husband has not asked to read the manuscript I've been working on, and last night I told him that I felt we were wrong for each other because he's not the kind of person to love me as much as I need to be loved.  Maybe I'm needy.  But in my past relationships, boyfriends who really cared about me and loved me always asked to read the things that I wrote.  So we got into this long conversation about our politcal and religious differences.  At the end of the evening, we sort of made up.  I don't know where I'd go or what I'd do if we split up anyway.  I haven't been writing much lately.  I've been thinking about the storyline quite a bit, just not putting anything down.  Maybe that's what I should be doing now instead of blogging.... Hmm.

Lost Returns! Woo-hoo!

You gotta love that show, man.  Tonight it's back!  Yeah!  I'm supposed to go to lunch today with my mother-in-law at Olive Garden.  The baby is on my lap right now and making it hard for me to type.  So I'll end here and post more later.  Have a great day, everybody!

Cold in Indiana, Not Here!

2007-02-06

I talked to my Mom this morning after I fed the baby his cereal and applesauce.  All the schools up there in northern Indiana are closed because the buses won't start due to the below 0-degree temps.  Man, I'm glad I'm in Texas.  We'll have a high of 70 degrees today.  Wink

New Story - Will I Finish It?

2007-02-05

I just started writing fiction again.  Hopefully I will actually finish this story and not abandon it in the middle of the first chapter like I have dozens of others in my lifetime.

Poor Doggie and GO COLTS!

2007-02-05

I don't know if she got stung by a bee or what.  Imagine that.  Bees in February.  Weird. Anyway, her jaws were so swollen that I called my husband and asked him to come take her to the vet for me.  It's a few hours later and she's much better.  We don't know if it was a bee or a snake or fire ants or what.  But I'm glad she's better.

 

THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS KICKED ASS LAST NIGHT!  WOO-HOO!  Go Horse!

Writing Again

2007-02-05

Not quite sure what to write right now.  But I already had a few comments, so I thought I'd post something.  I like dogs.  My dog goes outside with me frequently while I smoke.  Earlier I noticed that her muzzle had swelled up like she had a baseball in her mouth.  The baby is kind of upset so I have to go.  Back soon.  

Here's hoping it's better than Myspace

2007-02-05

Okay.  I'm starting a new blog.  Not sure why.  I guess I was just curious about this.  We'll see.  More later.  Kiss
