I hate it when I have a really good day, but end up going to bed feeling sad.

What happened to change your mood?
Note to self: do not vow to be more responsible financially and then go to the damn record store. (Peter Himmelman, John Dee Graham, Carter Family, Americana compilation, Joe Strummer) So much for THAT paycheck........
Oh, and I'm going to see Etta James on Wednesday. Etta is a goddess, and I am so damned looking forward to her show.
And then on Saturday, Chris Whitley...

Youre seeing Etta James!!! Man, I am so jealous. I saw her at the House of Blues in Hollywood a couple years ago and that was one fantastic show.

They tore my old restaurant down. Don't know who "they" are, but today there is nothing left but rubble and a bulldozer.
Once upon a time, I was a kickass chef. I still am, I guess. Just in a holding pattern. The only part of the restaurant biz I don't miss is the 70 hour, 6 day work week. I loved the adrenaline of Friday...

here's to you Canyon Cafe!
i know what a wierd feeling that can be.
there was a movie theater i worked at in college for four years. it's where i met my ex-husband.
i was devastated when it was smashed. i had to go take a brick from the rubble and save it.
i'm silly that way.

My mother died 8 years ago today. We had a complicated relationship, as do most mothers and daughters, I guess. I never truly believed she loved me until about a week before she died. I had just driven to Corpus from Austin, I was dog tired, and I just went and laid down on the bed with her. We looked at each other for about...

is it wrong to say that was touching?
your mom died with all of her loved ones around. i think we would all like to go that way.
i am glad that you finally saw the love in her eyes, that you had been missing all of your life.
here's to your mom

Brand recognition.
Do you choose the product you choose(coke/pepsi, bud light/miller light) based on your own taste, or based on which product markets most effectively to you as an individual?
Although if you drink either Miller Lite or Bud Lite, I won't respect your opinion.

Everything I buy is based on a combo of taste and value. Like to me, all lemon lime soda tastes the same so if im wanting to get some, I'll get whichever is cheapest.
Every now and then, late at night, I surf around the net trying to track down old friends....

Happy Birthday Miss Eartha
Nine days of nothing but self indulgence can be a great thing. Nine days of family can be hell. I had a great time, saw Mayan temples in the Belize rainforest, drove a mini speedboat and snorkeled(I love that word, snorkel) in Cancun, at cheap lobster and fresh mangos in Roatan, and visited Cozumel in a torrential rainstorm. My bar tab, ouch. But, for the...

Draw a line from where you are now to where you want to be, and figure out the steps between two points.
Today, my doctor told me why my left hand is partially numb and I am taking vicodin to combat the insane searing pain in my left arm. I officially have a "ratty neck bone".
I am going to start an all girl punkabilly band; we will be called the Ratty Neck Bones. Failing that, a bbq shack deep in the piney woods, called-you guessed it-Ratty...

Vacation, all I ever wanted......
After months of anticipation, the vaca is just around the corner. OK, starts in Houston, actually. I'm going on a cruise. To Mexico. With my family.
It's hard not to be excited about any activity that involves wretched excess, so I confess: I am excited. I am excited that I can spend 8 days away from the hellhole that is...

My horrorscope for the day gone by:The poet Rumi talked about how where there is a shipwreck, there is also the hope for buried treasure. What's going on in your life that may look a little bit like a mess on the surface, but actually contains hidden riches? It may not be obvious at first-the best and most important things in life rarely are--but it...

every time a few months go by and i think i'm over you, you show up again. not your fault that you make me crazy and miserable, it's like the song says "excuse me while i break my own heart tonight". pathetic, i'd willingly give you my heart to break, if there was a ghost of a chance you wanted it for even a moment...
