hello dahlings! how are you? I miss my friends here, but I am making a good attempt to get out more and have an actual life. I must tell you, I do feel more energized and just generally good. Being positive to be a good person to offer the world is ok. Being positive for yourself feels even better and therefore offers the world an even better you. hmm. We all know that, and I certainly wish I put that into play years ago.
My first paycheck came through with my new raise. I used part of the increase to treat Emily and I to something cool. I bought Em a new dress and a Wiggles video. For myself, I got a David Sedaris book and pierced my nose. I am very happy with that.
A little about my nose piercing... Simple, I have always wanted one since as far as I can remember. When I was a little girl, my mom used to take us to the outdoor markets. I used to be in complete awe of all the beautiful Indian women with gold jewelry and a pierced nose and colorful, flowing saris. gorgeous. I still am in awe. I love to read about religion and culture and listen to music. sometimes I wonder if I secretly wish I was one of those beautiful Indian women. anyway, not that I think I am now, but I have been always very fascinated by the modification and I am thrilled to now have it.
In other news, I have been singing "Tie me kangaroo down, sport" in my head for a week. Em loves when I sing the whole song to her. and bounce around together. Em also now sleeps in a big girl bed. We got a hand me down little tykes bed with a house as the headboard with shutters and a windowsill and everything. Em now calls going to bed "go house." Em can also count to 3. sometimes I cry and get scared that she is growing up too fast for me. my baby is more of a big girl every day. I am so proud of her.
well, here is a poor picture of my piercing and my gigantic tshirt ready for bed:
you can't see it at all. my camera has never been the same since I got disasterously drunk accidentally and dropped it. then kicked and fell on it as I tried to pick it up. and then dropped it again. yeah, I might want to get a new one.
I love you guys and miss talking to you, but getting a life and back to my routine is so important. thank you for leaving me so many sweet comments when I hardly sign on anymore.
love and hugs,

It's been a long time since I've been on the site, and just spent a few minutes catching up on your journals. Hooray for your raise! Not so much so for the new boo-boo. Sorry to hear about your finger. Seems like you have been doing quite of bit of introspection lately, but it seems like things are coming together for you. It's good for both you and Em to get out of the house more and for you to feel more like you! Just don't forget about us! I've missed you and hope to see you soon at an SG event!
Take care of yourself!
Anne
