I miss you so much I wish you were dead
This might be one of those things that you had to be there to appreciate but we enjoyed ourselves.

Wanted - Dead or Alive - one HOT Cowboy
I am actually going to vote this year. ALOT! If you love me you'll vote for him too! :-)
Rash-a-rific
Digging on American Idol choices this year...if they would only stop drawing it out for hours I might make it through the season without being bored - that and if my bald cowboy hat wearing stud stays in for the duration. Please remember these are 866 numbers and not 800 numbers. Remember folks - no more voting fiascoes like last year!
Got the notification yesterday regarding my 15 year high school reunion. Can't wait! Nothing beats August in the midwest (90 plus heat and humidity) and buckets o beer....oh and port -a- potties!!
K-love ~my soul sister ~ is coming back to Boston tomorrow for the weekend. We seriously haven't had a conversation in the past week or so without screaming at each other out of sheer excitement. And as I told her tonight when she said COMPLETELY inappropriate and hysterical....I skip right over laughter and go directly to barking or some such primal "laugh".
Mom and Dad are fishing and grinning in Florida - the fish are biting and I'm sure they are having fun riding around in the golf cart. There is something so totally relaxing about cruising around in that cart.
If you have a chance check out the books by Laurie Notaro - she's funny as sh*t and if you email her she'll write you back. Bonus.
A shout out to my BF Snooky! Love ya!!
I've been disappointed in my Dunkin Donuts coffee lately - I haven't had a perfect cup in days - I hope they get it right tomorrow. I had Taco Bell last weekend for the first time since I moved - it was simply the best bean burrito EVER!!!! Had some good retail therapy today - a new ring, new turtleneck - on sale - and a pair of jeans that are a size smaller than I currently wear ~ so pretty good day. Peace, love, and chocolate...

It's like a Hallmark card....but not
I'’ve been reading like a fiend lately. I finished three books in the past week, each one better than the next (well actually the middle one was my least favorite - –still great though - but you get the idea).
- The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
- Eleven Minutes also by Paulo Coelho
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky ~ which I literally just finished two minutes ago
They made me think ~
Life, the Universe, God, or whatever you choose to call it, really does give you what you need ~ often hidden in everyday things. Like the strength to embrace those who try your patience and your will at every turn, or the realization that things have an end and even though at the time you can't imagine going on after that realization - you have a second realization that you can go on and you're stronger and wiser for having made it through - and even better is the peace that comes with knowing you wouldn't change a single moment of it.
Sharing funny stories and laughing your ass off over morning bagles, or afternoon walks and hallway talks about life with an unlikely new friend - or an old friend saying just the right thing - and the excitement shared of what the summer will bring with a new friend who felt like an old friend almost from the first moment. It's the chance to be 13 again for a few hours on a Saturday morning at a run down roller rink. It's the Jing, the thumbs up, the Tuesday visits from an infectiously "crazy"guy who visibly adores life, but who whistles a tiny bit too much, the unexpected card in the mail, the perfect song on the radio while driving on the perfect day, and Big Ben, fireworks, and fire engines on New Years Eve.
Finally it is the ability to wrap your mind and heart around the overwhelming gratitude you have for all these people who helped Life, the Universe, God give you what you needed - most of you probably have no idea of the "small" things you have done to fill my heart. If you are reading this (provided you aren't some random web-surfer) you can rest assured that I have a story about you and your kindness, your gentleness, your humor, your patience, or your strength. You can also be certain that I thank you for sharing it with me - sometimes it was obvious and apparent immediately -and other times it was hidden in the everyday things - but it never went unnoticed. I'll pass it on.

Quotes
And another that Teddy said when he was in 8th grade. "The finish line is just the beginning of a whole new race."
I know I don't do it justice.
