Best text messages received:
I want to die
Tonight my son said “top model” I blame you. Oh do you like corn dogs?
Don’t throw up. That will totally blow your cover
He’s here
At least it was dead and not flopping around.
What happened to the black heart? Or you just want the useful part of a boy?
When I was on drugs
Just something different
That’s dirty dude. Really dirty. I like it
Strangest text messages I sent:
So how mad would you be if I wanted to come out tomorrow instead? Will the floor still be naked? I’ll buy you dinner!
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
I know you are laying off the liquor, but linen? Really?
Fuck. I should not have eaten dinner. I may throw up.
You are a lying liar!
Lindsey balded my nephew! You better not be bald!
Lol. I think I’m the only person scared off by the birds. And I’m too weak to steal any of the good shit
Um… because I love hot dogs. They’re better than ponies and kittens.
Chris is so freaking hammered he is threatening to wrestle me after the show.
Text Messages I could have lived without sending/receiving:
Whats that mean
O ok. Well next time I’m in the area well have 2 meet 4 lunch.
Do you remember any thing from last night?
And that’s great. Talk to me about that when I don’t see you for the next month.
I moved out of the apartment last nite
Laugh of the Month: I’m sorry to tell you the story behind this is confidential.
Not proud of: In one weekend I took three compliments in the worst way. When my boss said my smile was amazing I started crying. When Em said I was complex I developed a complex for a few days. And when Chris and Randy tried to thank me I practically stuck my fingers in my ears and shouted “LA LA LA LA.” I’m not generally a big old girl in this way.
Weirdest night: The night we discovered that Shan Shan, Lindsey and I were all… how should I say… well, synced up.
Music: Angels and Airwaves, Taking Back Sunday and Reggie and the Full Effect. You can pretty much assume that these made up 90% of all the playlists in May.
Best Show: Dos to see the boys, how can you not have a good time with these girls?
Song of the Month: Miami – Taking Back Sunday.
You have to, you just have to trust me
Whoever I was then, I can’t ever be again
The faith you found I never felt
The terror held in wedding bells
And comfort in there’s no one else
The truth be told I’m never gonna know
Money shocker: My spending on clothing went up 279% to a grand total of $61.47. Can you tell how much I really hate shopping.
Favorite Random Picture:
I had hoped these targets would distract the children armed with squirt guns enough to keep us all dry. Instead the big kids got drunk and turned on the hose and/or jumped in the spa fully clothed.
Strangest Email Exchange: Yes, we actually speak to each other this way.

Favorite Party buds: Girlies willing to dance with me in public.
I think I like today
I think its good
Its something I cant get my head aroundObsessions: The spa. Yum.If I keep saying things like this someone will have me committed:
I totally had a banana in my purse this morning, and now I can’t find it.Birthdays?
Kristi
Jackson, with his mom Brig
Tate
Last year: We had a house full of people, then our air conditioning broke and we were seconds away from a slap fight in the back yard. Heat makes people bitchy, especially when they are already hating each other. Thank you, thank you that my current roommates aren’t completely insane.
Two years ago: I was still in complete denial that I was leaving “home,” to the point that I hadn’t even begun packing.
Looking forward to: Kevin’s birthday and Digital Summer show in one weekend. Hopefully a few more nights of just relaxing in the backyard.
Coolest unexpected night: Jen and Kev coming to a drinking in the backyard night.
TV: I’ve discovered a certain show comes on when I get home from work before the girls get home. I blame them. I’m (only a little) ashamed.
Crappy Stuff: The hour I spent cooking my ovaries under a heating pad and blankets. I got so hot and miserable pieces of my hair were straight when the kids woke me up. You really don’t want any more information about this.
Violent Much? “First of all, I’m a lady. Second of all I will punch you in the face.”
I said this to Lindsey* when a guy tried to cut in front of me walking out of Texas Roadhouse.
*I know! I actually censored my mouth in public! Except that he probably overheard me. But still! A step in the right direction!
Hair Watch 2006 Status: It’s curly as all hell most days, and for the first time in my life getting caught in my purse strap. Grrr.
Graph: My Aunt Lynda started reading my website. (From work even, she’s gutsy!) Then her and my Mom had a conversation about how depressing my writing can be. Huh. Really? So I divided up every post from September to May, and tried to be impartial.
