Final Thoughts About The Rebuild Your Life Project

I chatted with a friend who lives overseas via skype tonight. She made me smile and laugh as she recounted stories of love, frustration and lust in French. I tried to explain the ramifications of completing a project like the one I am completing and she encouraged me by saying that she thinks I am trying to process everything and then once I gain some sense of normalcy, I'll come up with a plan to make this project be a benefit to me. Ok. ~cracking knuckles~ Right now, in all honesty I feel...

They Touch A Lot

They kiss a lot. They play a lot. They touch a lot. They take care of each other. Yesterday my housemate came out in the backyard while I was there and she and I started talking. She was a little frustrated about her job and then she told other stories of frustrating work situations.

REBUILD: All I Need

My son's 11th birthday was 2 days ago. I got to spend it with him and his brother. They came over to my house and we went to Denny's and had dessert and then walked over to the movies to see The Smurfs. We came back home and cuddled until we all fell asleep.
