Slow moving today...after a shitty weekend. But I'm forcing myself to look at the good...I'm tired of being sick, tired of being tired and sooo fucking sick of hearing myself bitch about it.
So, this morning, desperately seeking comic relief...my search was over when our office manager Chris came in. The static electricity at the station has been almost unbearable. Everytime you touch another person,...

Is it possible to not notice the child in the middle of the room throwing a tantrum? If you give them the attention they are seeking, do you validate this type of behavior? If you ignore them, do they eventually stop and move on to something else? Do you try to reason with them? Explain how grown-ups react to similar situations? It's a bizarre phenomenon....

what's wrong honey?! seems to be a rough weekend for everyone. 
call me when you get a chance
call me when you get a chance Back among the land of the living...well, sorta. This morning the alarm was a welcoming beacon, my call to escape the confines of my bedroom and venture out into the real world again. Nothing like a little forced-isolation to make one appreciate the simple pleasures of crazy office politics. I have missed my job.
And according to my boss, my job has missed me. The...

So as you know I often go for stretches without responding to people and then do it all at once in a flood, often with little attempt at keeping things in context. What you probably don't know, as I don't think I have ever mentioned this to anyone, is that I often write out my entries on a notebook that I keep by my desk. Especially if I have missed a lot of journals and/or expect to have a lot to say.
Usually I edit my responses as I go along, scribbling out anything that seems to have become moot because of something in a later journal. Then I write my little preamble and throw it all together into one, usually all too long entry. So why am I telling you this? Because this time I kept things even though they became moot. I made no changes. Everything will be recorded as it first came out. No editing. No attempts to refine or second guess. I want you to know exactly how I initially responded to everything.
The last move that affected me was Being Julia. I don't know how much I can say about how or why without spoiling the movie. I just saw a lot of parallels to my life. Great movie by the way. If you have not seen it you should.
Awww, I am going to miss you.
I think the same may be happening to me soon as well. I just have so much going on and I think I spend too much time here.
Sweetie, I read that and my heart filled. I want you to know that I could never pity you. Not that I don't wish this wasn't happening to you. Of course, I do, and I wish you a speedy recovery. My thoughts will be with you in these coming months. That being said, pity is something I save for those to weak to deal with what life has to offer. For exmple, as I am sure you have noticed I engage in a fair amount of self pity. When I think back and look over your past journals, all I see is a positive attitude, strength, courage and a deep and abundant capacity for joy, life and love.
I admire you more than you will ever know. To think that you, while dealing with all your own issues, have been able to offer me more comfort and support than most of my offline friends and family, well, it just amazes me. You are an incredible woman. I ♥ you.

Ok, it is a little late, but I did wish Catiedid a happy (belated) birthday.
I can barely keep up as it is. If I were stalking people I would never get anything done.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. Even happier to hear you are sticking around. I may still be leaving. At least for a while. I do plan to come back, but in case I don't, I am sending you an email. I would love if you kept in touch.
I am not supposed to have it. Too much natural sugar,, so I only drink it when I am sick. It tastes so good then that I never have anything else with it.
Thanks for helping to make the time I have spent here so great.

now if you mean stalking like the 24 did to the 8 right before the last caution, waiting, waiting, then BAM -- taking him to the cooker. . . then I am all for that kinda stalking! Nice teamwork too from JJ -- Tiny E really was hurt by not having MW around to help -- it was a 2 on 1 deal -- you knew Tony Stewart was going to double cross him sooner or later and you can't blame Busch for going for the win -- but Johnson gave JG the push (and E didn't block) and then on the last restart Busch found out what Earnhardt Sr. knew -- you do not get around the Rainbow Warrior with money on the table down the stretch at teh 500.
Gonna be a fun year especially with Harvick and Stewart already getting into people's heads. You know, people seem to kinda shrug Stewart off -- he's one of the top 5 drivers in the world -- since he is an Indy car and NASCAR god -- but Harvick is a little pissant who has to by crying that Busch is on such a huge upward urve and Harvick is just a novelty act. He's useless considering that he is in a Goodwrench/RCR car.

Sup YO!
You know, I never wanted to be one of those people who make some grand announcement about leaving and then do not. But I fear my rush to judgment might have been more out of haste than anything. This had once been an outlet for an honest reflection of my life, but somewhere along the line, I have felt the need to either not inflict...

Hey guys....
I bid farewell...
My account is going to be expiring soon and right now life's curve balls aren't permitting me to stay.
Thanks for all the love, it's been a hell of a ride.

Aaahhh!!! 
don't leave us...
and i would have taken more than just a picture of the Mark Martin Dealership. there are all sorts of NASCAR things around town. In fact, last night, as Mark and I were drinking a Bud talking about the Daytona, he said to tell you 'hi' and that he's going to kick Jr's ass come race day!!!

If you must go, be well. I will miss you, lovely Josephene.
THANK YOU!! For all the sweet Valentine wishes... I love that SG has become my electronic-glitter-covered-shoebox on the corner of my school desk.

Today the weight of the world seemed to overwhelm me, and upon breaking my favorite scrunchie, I collapsed. The proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back," so to speak, proving once again that I am merely human, who'd-a thunk it?

very, very interesting race. Hendricks figure out how race on the superspeedways during the offseason? Great article on the Ryan Newman/ rusty Wallace feud at nytimes.com in the sports pages. you gotta register but it's free and worth it.
NASCAR, Pedro already in camp, the weather much nicer. I really am liking this action.
Boogity indeed. I had butterflies big time.

I've had a few breakdown like that. Not many, just times when every thing seems overwhelming, and then one thing happens and every thing goes to shit. I didn't take advantage of the nice weather down here, and today it rains; so it goes. I use to love NASCAR, but for some reason I just can't get as excited about it any more. I'll probably watch the Daytona 500, and keep my eye on the season, but my heart lies with Formula 1. If you get a chance, go to the US Grand Prix this summer, and you'll understand what I mean.
Ham Dinger:
Place ham paties on a cooking sheet with whole pinapple rings on top. Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes, then place cheese slieces on top of each, and let melt. Serve on a bun with a side of your choise. Great for watching sporting events on tv.
