Has anybody noticed that after a high, a low isn't too far behind? I had a great weekend. I went back to Ohio to visit friends and family over fourth of July. As always, Hardin and I went out to lunch with my Grandpa (Who's 91---just a little tidbit of info), my parents, brother, his fiance, and my neice. It was just nice to have a feeling of family. It was probably the first time in weeks that Hardin and I were able to sit around a table and have a decent meal without having three ...

Okay, maybe this article is not about understanding me, "per se," but I have always been interested in figuring out what exacty lurks behind the lyrics of the song, "Alison," by Elvis Costello. My thoughts are in parenthesis Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl. And with the way you look I understand that you are not impressed. (Elvis unexpectedly runs into Alison, his former love, and she acts aloof, yet meloncoly) But I heard you let that little friend of ...

****WARNING*****This just might be my most superficial post yet....Read at your own risk My trauma is my hair. I am at a loss what to do with it. My hair has been every length from 2 inches all over to down right above my ass. My hair has been dyed just about every single color imaginable as well. I have had black hair, blonde hair, auburn hair, blue hair, pink hair, purple hair, and multi colored streaked hair. It has also been high lighted, low lighted, curly and straight. As o...

After a five year hiatus, and a little persuasion from Dharma, I've decided to pick up my guitar again. Since I couldn't sleep for anything last night (many of you were on here to witness my points whoring article that was posted here late last night, which I have deleted since it started to get outta hand), I decided to get my old Alvarez accoustic out of it's case and tune it. All I can say is OUCH!!!!! Since my callouses have disappeared, I have to build them up. My goal for the en...

Chrissy and I are going to communicate here! This might also bring me over the 10000 points mark!

As I have mentioned I teach elementary music for an at risk school district on Long Island.  My duties involve grades 1-2 and special ed classes in 3 different buildings.  14 periods out of 36 a week end up being a special learning environment.  I teach students from all different scopes.  This includes speech and hearing problems, multiple learning disabilities, emotionally disturbed children, and my personal fave- the autisim spectrum.  Mondays tend to be one hell o...

As I woke up this morning, I had this odd gut sensation that I needed to pluck my eyebrows right then and there. I got up, walked to the bathroom, found the tweezers, and began plucking away. As many women (and some men) know, this is not a pleasurable experience. It was like I couldn't even tell I was sitting there and torturing myself. Maybe I've developed some sort of eyebrow plucking tollerance. Maybe the planets were alligned right then and there so that this would make the process ...

**Inspired by Shovelheat** Okay JU...I want to know. What Christmas is your most memorable Christmas? Last year would have to be mine. Hardin and I spent the day in NYC. We stopped at a bar and had bailey's and hot cocoa. We then went to Ground Zero and over the Brooklyn Bridge. On the way home it started to snow. The second we got home we started to prepare Christmas Dinner. We had steak, mashed potatoes, a salad, and ice cream. It was special because it was our first Chris...
