Watching my daughter graduate high school!!! Im one proud Mama!!!!

Isabeau
 

My kitten, Isabeau. I call her Bobo, had to butch it up :) She's aggravating, into everything, and drives me insane. I need a femme with her disposition.

I just saw this today!!!! I think its utterly amazing! And it very much made me smile.

Conversations with my 18 and 24 year old nieces that reminded me why I suffered all the hate and discrimination I have in the past...do their generation wouldn't have to! My sister has 4 daughters and 3 of them fall some where on the LGBTQ spectrum and none of them had to suffer because of it. Hearing stories like that from anyone makes me smile but to hear it from blood also makes me proud.

The customer is not always right!
 

This made me laugh. I love this woman for so eloquently expressing some of the crap service-industry workers have to put up with on a daily basis.

lol, this video really brought me back to the days when I was waiting tables to support myself. So believe me when I tell you she is simply saying exactly what we all wanted to, but could not.

My Favorite Day
 

That it's Sunday.

I am missing a shoe and a pair of socks. I forgot to pack a change of clothes except for boxers. I had a 70 pound lab jump on my chest around 3 am. Then at 5 am the 3 dogs sounded like cockroaches with their toenails on the tile. My eyes are puffed shut because of massive amounts of salt on the drinks last night.

Nobody ended up falling into the fire pit last night. Nothing was broken and the deck has no signs of the party. I am covered in dog hair. My buddy has puffy eyes like me. We still have beer left. My hair is still ok enough that if I had to go to the store I could.

I am having a great weekend!

Waking up to your voice. *sighs* that is something I could definitely get used to.

Buddy....what kind (or size) of cockroach sounds like dogs running across a wood floor?

Mel, Australian roaches are big! And, I hear in OK ans TX they are big as well.

New Friends
 

an icy cold blueberry hill lager (Sam Adams) after a long day of arduous physical labor..... :)

having time with my brother.... <3

driving home from my work today I passed the new World Trade Center tower 1.
It was so awesome and majestic. I took a pic and sent it to everyone I know. I sent it to friends in NY. For 14 years I lived across from the World Trade Center. I was there for the first bombing, but thank God not the second.

I was humbled by the majestry of the building. Driving through it brought joyful (pre 9/11) and painful (post 9/11) memories.

But I did get a BIG smile because it was sooo awesome, it kind of took my breath away

Seeing a female qualify for American Warrior

14 year old going to an 8th grade dinner dance tomorrow night, older one on crutches is instructing her in making home made wax to wax her legs...sisterly bonding

A phone call during which I fell asleep but I woke up smiling. :)

Seeing my beautiful soon to be high school freshman go off to her 8th grade dinner dance. So proud.

finding out that, even thought it will be crazy, my home will be a halfway house this weekend to three different very dear to my heart families/friends as they pass through town on totally different journeys. Firing up the grill and putting up tents in the back yard.

The smell of honey suckle in June

fireflies and hayfields..... :)

Proud of my daughter for her accomplishment and 8th grade graduation

Talking to my kids on the phone, and knowing they will be home tomorrow evening after a week away!
