Long time no blog

As I look over my last few weeks' posts, I see that I've only posted emails and quizzes. I've had lots o stuff going on. The last few weeks have brought about some changes in the list of people that I can call "friend". I'm still reeling from the emotional upheaval that comes along with betrayal and grief. B and I have had some challenges but I think we're well on the way to recovery with that. I've had work changes and a nightmarish month end but it seems to hopefully be trying to level out there. Here's hoping that life is trying to actually settle down into a rhythm again!

During all this we did manage to sneak away for a long weekend to Missouri to visit my dad and attend my family reunion for the 4th. We had a lot of fun and I got to be the grill mistress for my *whole* family. It was great getting to show off my new found cooking skills!

As of the 1st we are officially insured again which means that we'll be able to resume our dental stuff and get some long overdue health stuff taken care of. Joy! :)

I've got to try and get to work early (again) this morning so this is brief but I wanted to go ahead and write to let you guys know that I am indeed alive. My birthday quickly approaches, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing for the next few weeks so I can celebrate it properly. Hope everyone has a great day!

A Final Xmas post

Here's one more "Night Before" version that I couldn't help but steal from Da Jules. Y'all enjoy! Twas the night before the party When all through the town, No pigs were stirring, No cops were around. We drank segrams & smoked panama reds, While visions of the munchies danced through our heads. When all of a sudden came a knock at the door... We all yelled "Pigs!" & hit the floor. But what to our red glazed eyes did appear... A pound of columbian with 2 kegs of beer. The man at the door, he gave us a smile So we said, "Come on in man, You should party a while." But we heard him exclaim as he flew through the sky... MARIJUANA TO ALL & TO ALL A GREAT HIGH!!!

RIP Charlie "Butch" Sours, I miss your cranky ass. :'-(

Dear Charlie-Dad, I can't believe I'm writing this letter, I just knew you were going to be an immortal creature. You were always so brave and steadfast and I thought you'd live forever on belligerence alone. I'm so not ready to say good-bye. You seemed tired when you were here at Thanksgiving, but then we started making plans for you to move back to Texas next year and I had false hope that you were going to be around a while longer. What a horrible tease. So much of who I am is because of you, and I'm grateful to still have your voice in my head saying all the grumpy things that you loved to say so often. My fierce loyalty, sticking by my guns on tough topics, and most importantly my ability to love unconditionally all came from you. You were an amazing role model for me, like none I've had before or since, and I sincerely hope I've done you proud on how I'm turning out. I wish I'd recorded your stories, I hate that so many were lost with y

Drawing healthy boundaries

I'm posting this here so you'll never lose it and you'll always be able to go back and reference it. ------------------------- This is farewell, I'm done. I once loved you so dearly, and now I only find irritation and disappointment when I interact with you. I can't listen to any more drunken self-created drama, nor should I have to. My time is far more valuable than the ramblings of someone who either cannot or will not take responsibility for anything in their life. I sincerely hope you get help and find hope and purpose.
