I'll take creativity over intelligence any day of the year...

I took an old mower, pitched the blown motor, strapped down one of the girl's car seats and some foam and we have an instant, new, wacky riding device. The girls loved it! What could be better?

hey--my post went on the old journal......
invisigirl:
thank you for the support. i'm pretty in tune with how much i can take on right now, and i've been going to a therapist since this started over a year ago. thursday is a court date to finalize the divorce, if everything is in order by then. we're waiting on some info from someone. i was mostly meaning that i need to be physically independent by then--with a job and stuff.

I've been crying all day today. This morning I learned a good friend lost her battle with lung cancer Tuesday night. She was a great person...a rocking mom and a awesome artist and sculptor. She was only in her late 30's which is way too freaking young to be dying...

Please keep her and her family in your thoughts if you read this.

marc, marc, marc,.........does my humor escape you??? haha
(or does your humor escape me? hmmm...) of course i'm aware there are power saws! tongue

cool website. you gotta read my past journal or two to catch up on my weekend....haha.......today i drilled some holes, and painted half of my living room.

my whole body is sore from pushing my car yesterday. waahh!
invisigirl:
haha---bubble wrap--just what i neeeeed!
thanks for all the well-wishes.
i love my car. it's a '99 saab 9-3. black. the good news is, it was a "certified" used car when i bought it last year, so it has a 2-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, so the repair of the ignition thingy was free! (but the oil change and 50k maintenance they talked me into was $140.! haha)

my living room is painted. finally.

Father's Day.

What a glorious excuse to goof off with your kids, take pictures, play in the inflatable pool on a sunny day and skateboard while sucking down a banana shake. All in all a good day.

I don't mind you butting in, but I think evrybody suffers from what you call "emotional scarring," not just people around here. I don't really have much of a story I'm interested in telling. Read my journal from time to time and comment if you see something that strikes your fancy.

eewwwwwww! i can never squish bugs, especially if they're gonna make a crunch sound. *shivers just thinking about it*

Completly wasted the day. I'm not happy with myself about that. My responsiblity and my fault.

On a brighter note... My dad's employer held a retirement party for him at Kart2Kart, an indoor karting track in the area. That was cool. These aren't your run of the mill crappy little karts...these are fast! They have an automatic system for recording all you lap times which...

i'm planning to paint my living room.
i can't seem to get the damn brackets from the old blinds off the wall though....i don't own a wrench tiny enough. that kind of shit really slows a project down, ya know?
so, i guess it's: wrench shopping, then paint the living room.
haha

how 'bout you? cycling again?
invisigirl:
haha-- my pics are so heavily photoshopped it's not funny!
thanks for the compliments.

i can't imagine riding 35 miles--shit, i'm dead after going around the block! haha.....no, really, my body burns calories way too fast--i need to be eating a pizza while i'm pedaling! ha! i crack myself up!

bummer about the palm tree. sounds like a fun weekend though. i didn't start painting as i had planned. i ended up going out and about cuz my sunroof is really huge and i like to drive my car. i think i'm gonna get a wrench from my ex--how come he got all the good tools???

i don't know anyone looking for a roommate, sorry. there are always places available in this town, though. if you're interested in moving this way, just look in the sunday ann arbor news. what about ferndale or royal oak?

I watched two movies this weekend. Evelyn and Adaptation.

Evelyn is the story (Based on real life) of an Irish man in the 1950's, who has his children taken from him and put in what amounts to an orphanage. His wife deserts them at the beginning of the movie, and he is declared to be incapable of providing for his children, by an Irish legal...

i've tried to find neko lyrics on the web, and i gots nothin'. all i've read about deep red bells is that it's about a heinous crime, which i'd gathered. "he led her to his hiding place..." or something like that. eerie.
i don't really look at too many people's pics, unless their journal says "hey, check out my pics"--and then BAM!! CATS!! ugh!
invisigirl:
whoa, you have 4 cats?!? you're like that crazy cat lady who lives down the street. (from everyone--every neighborhood's got a crazy cat lady) only you're the crazy cat guy.

busy day. tired. heading to sleep, so i can wake up tomorrow when i need to. why does waking up have to be so much harder than falling asleep?? lol

This weeks new Favorite Girl Theme: Smoldering eyes.

My legs are aching... I guess riding 43 miles will do that, huh? I'm halfway to my goal of riding 75 miles in a day. Anyone else ride?

More later...

never been to lager house. i rarely go to detroit. last time was st. andrews to see galactic this winter.

i'm like the farmer who doesn't want to be late for the chili cookoff.....
although i'd trade that for the forehead thing any day! haha

i have a degree in graphic design. i've never been a graphic designer, but i'm gonna try and be one now--like 14 years later. i'm into photography, and want to do lots of other stuff, but i'm just focusing on finding some primary employment at the moment.

God/Fate can be so perverse. 15 minutes before I want to go ride my bike and it rains cats and dogs and other large domesticated animals. Arg!!
