Happy 1999 everyone!

It's a new year - let's make it a good one.

New Years Resolutions:

1. Drink more water, drink less soda.

2. Walk up the stairs at work instead of taking the elevator.

3. Try to be more understanding and tolerant of others (except, of course, Oatmeal Boy).

4. Never mention Oatmeal Boy's name again (I predict this will be the first one to be broken....).



And what might yours be?

the first thing that happened to me on the first morning of the new year is that the Pathetic Vicodin Hound peed on my foot.

I have consulted the Torah, I Ching, Farmer's Almanac, and Martha Stewart's Living, but have been unable to find any reference to such an event or its meaning.

Therefore I am presuming it to be a very good omen. May you all have dog pee on your foot today, and good fortune all year.

resolving.

+ no more obsessing over TMBG. this is getting horrible. I wake up, put in a TMBG CD, listen for hours, get out another and repeat. for the first time in a few days, I have something else in. this is ridiclous.

+ stop worrying that the boyf is cheating on me. because he's not at all. stop dreaming that he is. especially dreaming. that's horridly vivid.

+ kiss her... so she knows.

+ make sure not to let crazy people get me on ICQ like I usually do.

+ do not watch "A Very Brady Christmas" this year. not more than once, that is.

* let people know what I'm REALLY thinking.

Had some milk with irish cream syrup in it, then some cottage cheese and bread. I will live.

I resolve to live through 1999.

No resolutions/

no great desires to be pursued.
No elaborate schemes or glittering dreams/
just reading & writing
/good friends &
good food.
To remain scott-free of debt & illusions/
to continue the search for Love
& Truth.
To ponder on heaven & things unseen/
be a little more trusting &
a little less mean
towards folks whose opinions make my blood boil
/& to know that the job at which I toil to keep a humble roof overhead/is not
who I am/nor what I'm destined to be.
And to remain
always
a die-hard fan

I'm also thinking about my brother Mike who was arrested here at my house last night and taken into custody where he will live for the next 21 days until he gets permission to go home to NY with my Mom. Whatta shame because Mike is such a great kid.

I'm going to make stupid mistakes and trivialize them. I'm going to stay up late every night and abuse my body.

I'll eat when I have time, money, and desire all simultaniously and only then.

I'll substitute chemicals for necessary maintainence such as fuel and rest. I will avoid being healthy.

I will refuse to be bored and maybe sometimes I'll cry.

I'm going to offend people and not apologize. I mean it this time.

Going fuckin' crazy...
My brother got arrested because my asshole husband and his asshole friend bought my 15 year old brother a big ass bottle of Vodka and thought it was really funny to see him all trashed. Then he freaked and beat the shit out of my husband so hubby called the police and they took my brother to JDC for 21 days...he was supposed to be flying back to NY tonight but now that aint gonna happen. I went and visited my brother yesterday and he remembers nothing about it. He also try to cut my 87 year old neighbor with a carpet knife. So of course he was arrested for 2 felonies. I feel really bad for him because he didnt know what the hell he was doing and he feels like total shit now. And to top it all off, chances are that my Mom will have to fly here to deal with all this because she is his legal guardian. So not only am I running my ass off to see my brother who is an hour and a half away from me, I also work full time and the last thing I need is Mom here...unbeleivable.

Anyway, about those plans for my trip to NY Jimbabe...I'm gonna fly outta St.Pete Airport on a non-stop flight to Newark, NJ...I got the ticket for $128 round trip so I couldnt pass it up. That means I wont be able have that layover in DC like I wanted. So much for us hittin' the meat bars huh?!?!

goodbye beloved bliss.

drinking Glenfiddich, which was one of my presents.

This is what Michael Castleman says about St. John's wort:

"In combination with certain foods and drugs, MAO inhibitors may cause dangerously increased blood pressure (hypertensive crisis). Symptoms include headache, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, and clammy skin. In recommended amouts, St. John's Wort is not as powerful as as pharmaceutical MAO-inhibitors. Nonetheless, those using the herb should follow certain precautions. While using St. John's Wort, do not take amphetamines, narcotics, the amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine, diet pills, asthma inhalants, nasal decongestants, or cold or hay fever medications. In addition, don't drink beer, wine, or coffee, or eat salami, yogurt, chocolate, fava beans, or smoked or pickled items."

Scotch is better, in reality.

I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with a client trying to use surf imagery to sell rum in the midwest. She wanted to know if the headlines that we wrote would have street cred with surfers. I asked her how many surfers there were in Illinois.
Sarah, you'd be surprised how much of a drug virgin I actually am, though it may not sound like it. I tried a half an e on new year's eve for the first time. Fun, though it was not some sort of mind blowing experience like some people describe it.
I must admit, I do worry about throwing away the few useful synapses I was born with. Though I just can't buy into the "drugs are evil" mentality that people shove down kids throats. I'll stop discussing this now before someone (myself included) gets the funny idea to pull out a soapbox.

As for the St. Johns Wort, I've tried it and I still think it could do with a better name.

Just getting home from work...had a great night at work tonight...lots of fun people.

Had a pretty weird thing happen at work last friday...this guy and this girl come into the bar and they just sat there kinda staring at me so I just ignored them. So then I hear this guy yell out "I'd know those blue eyes anywhere" so of course I walk over to get a closer look and it turned out to be my friend Two and his God awful swamp creature toothless thing of a fiance. I about shit. I really dislike unannounced visitors so I wasnt really into seeing them but because I'm basically not a rude person, I went out with them for a few hours. Naturally it was a fuckin' night from hell after Miss Swamp thing saw Two grab my ass as we were getting out of the car. That was my excuse to go home so I guess it was a good thing. The ass grab did nothing for me except turn my stomach a little but at least it got me home. Life with Danette is never boring.

My daughter turns 8 years old on the 15th of this month. She's such a nice little girl. So sweet and caring. Best thing I ever did, for sure.

I'm taking the trip on the last weekend in February Jimbabe!!
