- when i was 17 years old i got a tattoo; "sure, i want a lizard on my chest for the rest of my life!" at that age i had no concept of "forever".  one day i will be free of it and i can't imagine how clean and renewed i will feel to look at myself in the mirror without it! 

- i've been reading a lot of other folks blogs lately and if i see "musings" to describe one more freaking personal blog, i am going to  puke on my keyboard. "random" is another one and oh yeh, "arbitrary" oops!

- right now i am watching the woman across the street talk to herself very  emphatically....  complete with multiple facial expressions and hand gestures.

- yesterday in a nutshell: drive kid to school, lab for bloodwork, home for threatening phone call, bank, bagel, drive other kid to school, meet with teacher, work, meet with accountant, home to pack, on the road, drive 2.5 hrs, upheaval phone call, return home (2.5 hours), meet with police officer, photo editing, hurt back watching scary movie (startle jump), home in bed peaceful and still, eyes wobbling from physical and emotional exhaustion.

- ms parker loves her winnie the pooh blankie.

- here's my artful contribution for the day: representing the beauty of life and decay in the south. ha

- today in a nutshell: child yelling...."i dont care about you or dad! i hate you! i don't care if i ever see any of you ever again!!" followed by slamming doors. i can't stop the water falling out of my eyes and i don't want to get out of bed. will someone pinch me please?!
