My good friend Lala had her bridal shower today--it was fun. I got there 3 hours before to decorate the place. I hung handfuls of white gladiolas on the trunk of the two trees on their patio. Wrapped the handrail of the stair case in branches of silk apple blossoms and wisteria. The linens were dark green with white table toppers with lacy edges. There...

that was a pretty interesting analysis of kid with hand grenade. very thoughtful. i liked it! He always reminded me of myself as a kid. except caught unawares, without time to put on my smile for the camera.
I love your male geisha idea, hah ha! too funny!. great mental image of the 30 something ladies oogling the massage therapist. haha!
male strippers, in general, are a weird thing.

TATTOO journey--part 2
April 8 and it's getting to be time to leave to see Jen. Carrie's over to take care of the house, so today i am going solo.
No pain pills, but i did take time to eat a bean burrito and quesadilla in some irrational attempt at diverting blood from my back and into my stomach. I pulled up to her place...

Awesome that you recognized my influence! I was just waiting for someone to ask "Who the hell is Dr. Gonzo?!", but fortunately that never happened. Must be a lot of like-minded people here.
Anyway, you have the eternal problem....too much stuff/too little room!!! Since it's very impractical to get a bigger house (unless you happen to be in money right now), I'm afraid you'll have to get rid off some stuff. Or live in a mess.
I used to be a huge packrat. Jessica smacked some sense into me, though, and I am much more organized now - though still not organized enough. It's hard to keep a neat life when you have a cluttered mind...
And be careful with what you put in the garage! It seems to me that what most people put in the garage never comes back out...eventually they can't even park their car in there! And then you have to drive around with bird poop on your windshield all the time.

Its's Friday...yay! God-damn-mutha-fucking-friday! (i've already apologized for my overuse of the word "yay"-- As i act like it's the last day of school. ) I'm excited because it's a slow ride into the office, paperwork in a comfyish chair and home for the next 3 days--a little time in, if you will.

Let's see ... I appreciate his honesty, perspective, his celebration of imperfection according to popular culture and his general distaste of corporate America.
What do you think of him?

Today Jim and I have been married 2 years--seems puny compared to the 18 years we've been together. So i got a big card from him this morning---he wrote such smooshy things i cried. I'm lucky. (there's a couple pics in my folder if you want to see a wedding pic)
I promised not to make any appointments this weekend so we can be together!...

Awwww! Cute!
I'm going to blame my parents and society at large for the fact that I can't imagine being with anybody for that long.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Amen!
I'm nearly always late, I would SO not cope with someone who is bitching at me when it is not even the time we arranged to meet....
rich people are a pain in the ass.... we had one customer who said "make sure you break that piece of cabinetry up REALLY small....I don't want anyone thinking they can salvage it for free... if they want to give me a hundred for it...so be it"
this in reference to a marble topped kitchen island made of mahogany she was removing to remodel her kitchen...
priveledged, entitlement makes me naseous..
