Okay. I’m done. *sigh* *sniffle* *sigh* The best in the series for sure. Order of Phoenix is still my least favorite so far. Whiny Harry just wasn’t becoming. It seems Kuri finished as well. Haven’t heard from Demi-Boss or Mazing Amy just yet. I’m sure they are not far behind. Email me if you’d like to discuss. 🙂...

Harry Potter arrived about 2 hours ago. I had one break so far. This is my second. At some point I’ll have to make dinner so I might as well take a breather now before I get in too deep. Will still avoid all internet and email contacts until I finish…hopefully maybe tomorrow morning. I’m a slow reader so sue me. ‘Mazing Amy is doing the same thing right now I am sure. 🙂...

Sugar #1 My cousin May and her partner Eva win the gold medal in the women’s doubles competition at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. And then May went on and win a bronze in mixed double. Go, May! Sugar #2 While searching for pictures and stories about May’s victory last night, I came across an AP photo credited to Nicky, the conquering UCI grad and May’s little brother. How about that?!

And I’m not even going to sit at the couch. Na-ah. No, sir. Not me. The couch/love seat has a similar power to our bed, at least on me because I can still sleep on it, believe it or not.

They trap you in with their soothing and super comfortable embrace, and suck all energy and sap your will to do anything else on your feet out of you. They would keep you...

Whoever said that bad things always happen in three is a fucking liar. Before I left for Thailand, we had a string of deaths in our circle. Big Erik’s uncle. Nhien’s aunt. Shane’s uncle. Justin’s mom. When I was home, my mom was rushed back to the hospital (where she still is). Around the corner from her room was my friend Maylanie’s mom. (I think she may still be there too.) A few days after I returned to the US, I received news that another schoolmate Pam, my grade school best friend, lost her father. And just now, Lily told...

It’s almost a week since I got back. And I still feel a little off. I can’t blame it all on jet lag, although it does affect me quite a bit. But something else in my head–or heart–is broken from this trip and it seems to change everything. I don’t think the OakMonster you know is here any more. I know this. But I can’t seem to go back to where I was. Everything changed the moment I stepped into the same room as my mother. And with every bit of news that come after that furthers my descend into...
