Please join Linda and I as we host a little soiree n : a party of people assembled in the evening (usually at a private house) , or in this case a private place like the '90s? to say goodbye to our good friend Jen This Saturday the 4th.

We plan on meeting around 9pm upstairs for good times, drinks and laughter....

And why yes.. yes there IS a theme... Cajun.. New Orleans... like... think of it.. and wear what you will... I plan on attending in a cowboy hat and rain boots thank you very much!

I know this is short notice, but Miss Jen hasn't given us much time as she is leaving next week. So... please join us in sending her off with an amazing time and good memories!!

Let either of us know if you are thinking about joining us so we can sorta get a count.... Remember we love her.....

mood: excited
music: Greens Keepers

How little remains of the woman I once was, save the memory of her! But remembering is only a new form of suffering
- Charles Baudelaire, La Fanfarlo

Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something wich you have blundered,
- Cicero

Sometimes it is necessary
To reteach a thing its loveliness.
- Galway Kinnell 'St.Francis and the Sow'

Why is there then
No more to tell? We turned to other things.
I haven't any memory-have you?-
Of ever coming to the place again.
- Robert Frost 'The exposed nest'

"I have done it" says my memory.
"I cannot have done it" says my pride,
refusing to budge. In the end-
my memory yields.
- Friedrich Nietzsche

A liar should have a good memory.
- Quintilian

But what do you keep of me?
The memory of my bones flying up into your hands.
- Anne Sexton 'The Surgeon'

You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three.

Time on my hands

2005-10-27T10:07:00.000-07:00

So my kid has his first ear infection wich has given me ALOT of time to look around my house at all of the stuff I seem to have collected over time. Now anyone who has been over to my house knows about my stuff. I don't collect anyone thing but a wide aray of crap. If it comes from a grage sale, good will, my mom or clearence at Target I don't care. If I think its cool I keep it. With all of the natural and un-naturel disasters going on lately it has really made me think...If I knew somthing was coming and I only had time to pack up a few things what would they be. So here's my sorta list. The camera card. My photo album of my first Prague trip. My pencil drawing of Audrey. D-girls art. my wedding dress (and shoes) the woman over my door and finaly this really cool hand painted glass jar that my friend Carr gave me. Now mind you this is just my stuff and I'm sure I would grab some things for my main squeeze and kid but i just thought I would start the list incase I ever need to go.
What would you keep?

It feels like forever

2005-10-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

I have been away for far to long. I think I miss this. I am working on the show and between that and the family I just fall into bed at night. I will have some more time next week and will dedicate it to writing. For now I hope you all have a good weekend. And Mark thats what you get for paying so much attition to the T.V. when your out with friends. And Theresa if your reading this I love you.

Please....

2005-10-07T13:35:00.000-07:00

If your going to comment sign your name. Thank you.

This really hurts

2005-10-06T20:22:00.000-07:00

Why is it that when you stub your toe or get a paper cut it hurts more than anything else you can remember at the time? I mean really. I just ramed my toe and I think it might fall off. Got a paper cut last week that is still hurting. So stupid.

Something to think about

2005-10-03T19:56:00.000-07:00

15 Things You Probably Never Knew or Thought About

   1. At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would
die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want
to be just like you.

   4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they
don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

   6. You mean the world to someone.

   7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes
from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a
look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

   12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want,
you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner
or later, you will get it.

   13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the
rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much
better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know
that they are great.

A Minute: They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an
hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to
forget them.

Take the time ... to live and love.

So I'm feeling way better

2005-09-22T19:38:00.000-07:00

And its a good thing to going in to the last weekend and having it be three days and all. Well for some of us anyway. Have a new hair do and some new clothes. Looking forward to cavorting with the locals on Sat night after the awards. Dinner on Sunday night woth the gang and then fire pit with Mark and his mob. See you next week.

I'm sorry...I think....

2005-09-19T06:29:00.000-07:00

I had a mental breakdown yesterday. I am truly embarest. Wow it's been a long time since I have had that kind of day. Anyway I want to say thank you to Peggy for trying to babysit me and apologize to anyone who I may have said something inaproporate to. And really to the people I talked their ear off about nothing..... Please pass this along to any affected parties. As I'm sure i don't remember who they are. I'm going to go hide in my hole now for a little while.

Saving Butch

2005-09-13T07:15:00.000-07:00

I am posting today to save my friend Butch from the self imposed insanity that is his day job. I would love to be able to say that I had no idea of his misery but I do. I put myself through most of high school and several trade schools temping full time. ( didn't have the bod to work the pole) However I enjoied the power that comes from only being in the same spot for a short time, I will now share some of the pluses of this kind of job. Parking. Free parking downtown and being able to assign it to various accounts and being gone when it came time to figuire it out. FOOD. being in charge of ordering the food for lunches is big. Being poor and hungry most of the time it was a god send. Being able to order from wherever I wanted and the ooppsss!!! ordering for to many people. Wraping up All the leftovers and storing them under my desk. TICKETS. almost all large companys have season passes or box tickets to all the large venues. Being able to go to concerts and sporting events for free cause I knew no one else was using them. great. COFFEE. coffee and snacks that are brought in for big meetings that most of the time never take place.another score on the freebies.. Ok so I am done dispencing my knowledge today but if you can't figure out a way to come out on top while punishing the people that have hired you I don't know what else to say. Hope this helps. And people if you have any ideas to help him along in his day feel free to post.

My cousin Lisa said somthing that made me giggle. I mentioned her several weeks ago She said she was glad to have gotten E-ink. Funny.

And by the way Mark....Your not funny....sorry

2005-09-01T12:57:00.000-07:00

I am wondering when my life bacame this. Yes I know we have been here before with me but sometimes it really hits home. I was just in the grocery store and was excited that my favorite cereal was on sale 2 boxes for $4. I remember a time when Raman noodles used to do the same thing. Now I look at things and wonder if I should stock up. Than I was just hoping that 10 would last most of the month.
I sit here now and watch my son shovel in turkey and mandarin oranges wehn not two summers ago I would have been on a bike tour of the downtown bars with Dirty D. Living on diet pills and cesar salad from Pizza Luce. Now I hope my kid takes a nap so I can shower.
Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining I kinda like it here most of the time it's just when you look back it all seems to have gone soooo fast. Being 30 dosen't suck ...it just sucks not to be 25 anymore.
My kid is done eating so I'm off to find a snappy shirt for this weekend. Something that says I think most of you are a huge waste of my time. But in a way that doesn't make the dorks cry.

Strange Bed Fellows

2005-09-01T12:55:00.000-07:00

I have nothing to say about this it just sounded like a good title.

2005-09-01T08:51:00.000-07:00

Does it seem odd to anyone but me that when the sunami hit we had 24 hour coverage and now that almost the same thing has happened in the states we only hear about it during news time?

2005-08-30T11:25:00.000-07:00

I gues it's time I start writing again. I have been in a funk. MY marrage and I were not getting along. Thank god I have a husband that has known me for long enough not to get to worried. This happens to me every fest season. Just in the past I have been with people I did not care enough about to put in the work so I was able to drop them without to much fuss. This time is different. I have signed papers that say this is my life now and I have a baby and a dog to prove it. ( not to mention a huge rock!!!)
My new job at the faire is so much more stress and work than anthing I have ever done before. I think it's really working out though. Other preformers seem to really dig having one of our own on staff. Makes them feel less used. Knowing I'm going to really tell them what's going on.
Don't get to spend much time with any of my other friends out there but This weekend I'm spending both nights on sight.

Had a sit down with a woman who has been the bain of my summer's for a long time. I know this sounds strange to some of you but I was scared of her. I mean who would not be for thoes of you who know her. Well anyway got that straightened put. So all the better for both of us.

On another note. I am very saddened and dissapointed in all of my readers....Not one single gift was sent to me after I practicly handed you a list. I mean gosh what's a girl have to do to get some stuff????????
Ok I'm going to take advantage of my son's nap time to do some writing on my book. I think I'll write a couple of the first pages in here so you can give me feedback. Except for you Mark. And by the way I don't think my husband will kill you but just to be on the safe side you should lay low. Even I don't have that much power. By the way...YOUR FIRED!

Hope all is well in your world.

2005-08-10T20:56:00.000-07:00

I have finally gone off the deep end. I have taken this new found glory in myself to a new shopping level. My husbaqnd says I must stop in order to still afford food for my baby.......No not really but it sounds wy better than I have gone online crazy. I found this web site for us "large and in charge" girls and I am hooked. www.torrid.com If you go to thier clearence and pick that you would like to see things by price ohhhhh myyyyyyy gooooooood! What a way to go. some stuff is only .01 that's right only a penny. If any of you feel the need to prove just how much you love me I will be accepting packages from Torrid delivered to my door any time. In shirts I am a size 0 sometimes a 1 if I'm having a fat day. Skip the pants. I mean it's hard enough for you skinny types to find the right pair imagine what a little junk in the trunk does for you. In shoes I am a size 8 and I love the pink beeded belt. Well now that you know how to buy my affection I'll move on.......Let me just stress to you that GIFTS ARE GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have been working in the office all of the last two weeks and let me tell you...I can't on the grounds that I may say something about someone who reads this post. ( no not you Mark) I have enough choice words for you...later.

I love my over worked husband for letting me take this time for myself. Not all women are so lucky.

Teresa, My dear cousin. We had a family lunch at her house on Mon. Wow it made me feel like the poor relation you know the one who's home is up on 4 wheels. Or well was up on four wheels before that storm came now one side is held up by thoes big cement bricks. I jest... She could not have put on a more lovely lunch if Martha Stewart herself came over to help out. Thank you very much. Except I do have to say I made the main course and a mean chicken salad it was. "how do you spell moron 'Y O U' " funny!!!!

I am going to bed now. Contrary to what my mind says. I have started to watch the first season of Alias and I am hooked. Real cliff hangers. I only have two episodes to go and I can't wait....

You could all be sick of my life by now. I am reading other blogs and they are not so much stories of the person's life but just stuff. Let me know wich way to go here. If I'm boring you I can and will move on to stories.

How was this Mark? Enough for you???? Only time for one more post before faire...Then we will see what I have to say Monday!

Good Night all. Have a good tommorow.

Shit that was cheesy!!!!

2005-08-04T20:50:00.000-07:00

I am hot and tired. Yippeeee. This is just the start of many long weekends to come and I couldnt be more excited. Yes it's true someone has rolled away the rock and the people I call friends have slithered, crawled, shuffled and yes some even walked out upright. The time is here again. I have been at this for 15 years and I still love it. The drama, the love, the hate, the laughing and the crying. I have made my best friends and my worst enemies out there. I have had the greatest love and the best kiss. The biggest costume and the first one that bled when it rained. I have been a washing wench and a princess. But I have always been me! I love this place and I love what it has helped me become.
I have to admit that this year when I was helping with the audition process I was guilty of being a vet snob. Two young (14 +15) blond girls from Edina came in to audition. and I thought yeah right like they are going to work out. Well guess what they did and they work thier ass's off. Then I thought about it. I was a 15 year old girl from Minnetonka when Rali Gilchrist brought me out for my first year and look at me now. So more power to the both of them.
I have a change this year I will be helping with staff stuff and I like it. I've met alot of people I should have known before and love some of the staff.
An updat if you read my last post. I went shopping. Yes I found some great clothes. Did you know they alow fat girls to be sexy and sluty now? No more mumu's and poly pants with elastic wastes. I have colors and shirts with fun stuff printed on them and I even had an ice cream cone while shopping and could still fit into it all. I love this. I may be rounder but I'm still the shit! Ok I may have gone to far there but it felt good to say.
I'm going to bed now. My son is with his grandma tonight so I'm going to sleep in. I miss him! Now that he has all of this personality it's harder to leave him. He waved bye to me today from my mom's van. I could have cried. I feel for all of my friends that have to leave them everyday to work. I am so sorry. My cousin Theresa has the same gig as me and we love it. She has a son also.Speaking of it her sister Lisa had a little boy on Jack's 1st birthday. Yeah for her. Ok I'm really going to bed now I'm starting to babble and when you have to type it out it's way more obvious.

P.S. Mark where were you tonight?????????? To good for us???????

2005-07-28T14:56:00.000-07:00

I'm going shopping!!!!! I have been inspired! I have now realized that I am not going to lose all the weight that I wanted to before the faire starts and thats just fine. I have never in my life doughted who I am or how I look. I think I'm cute. Not in the way that makes us hate other girls that love the way they look just in the way that I don't question what other people are going to think of me cause I really don't care. I figure if you think you look good you do! That being said I'm going out to Hoochie it up. I'm quite a bit plumper than I have been in the past and I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm going backless and braless and colored and shiny and tight. Ok well not tight I may have gotten carried away there. But you get my point. I am no longer going to hide behind long t-shirts stretch jeans and overalls that are just to darn big! I am back and I'm coming out screaming. Look out world I have found striped knee socks made for plus size women and I'm wearing them. Short skirt and all!!!!!!!! I have a new hair cut. (thank you Peggy) new clothes (thank you Michael) and a new attitude (thank you Prozac) If any of you want to join me on my new adventure no matter your size your welcome to it. I'm starting now. My new motto: Yeah for cleavage, my butt looks fantastic and shoes always come in my size.

2005-07-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

You know how some things your friends say stick in your head for a long time. Some times it's just a comment sometimes it's just a saying. When I was about 14 my cousins friend Tom looked over at me in Mc Donalds and said " did you know you have hair on your hands? I've never seen that on a girl before" I was so horrifed that I shaved my hands for the next few years. Now don't get me wrong it's not like I'm Sasquach or something in fact you can't even see it just like every other person out there but it affected my life.
My friend Flower says "Right On" and so do I. It will always remind me of a different time.
My new friend Adena says " wicked awsome"
And a girl I don't introduced me to "Diesel" now D, Nixie and I try to use when ever we can.
In the end we all have things to say. Some good some bad. How strange that we never seem to forget the bad and don't use the good often enough.

2005-07-21T20:58:00.000-07:00

I'MMMMMMM BACKKKKKKKK
Ok so I have been gone for a while. Nothing to say or really to much to say and no way to say it. You know I hate that my friends who created thier own blog after me have cooler looking blogs and they seem so much more interesting than me. Ok thats all for tonight but I will be back tommorow. Never you fear.

2005-07-07T07:56:00.000-07:00

Wow, London. This world is so crazy. I have friends over there. No cell phone service right now. Can't get ahold of anyone. To think one of my closest friends was there not two weeks ago. My brain is to full right now.

2005-07-05T19:43:00.000-07:00

Flower,
I love you more than most.
I miss you more then any.

Wow I had no idea that even a parade is compitition for suburban mom's. That's right folks I have truly experienced the reality of momhood. Linda and I took our bambinos to the Richfield 4th parade and imagine my embarasment at not having trained my one year old how to run out into the street elbow his way throught 5 ten year olds to grab the megar candy that was thrown at us. Now mind you my son can barley crawl let alone karate chop his way through the crowd. So we came home almost candy less.
I did get some dirty looks after I yelled at a couple of big kids for picking up candy that was clearly ours. I mean it was already in my hand of gosh sakes.
But all in all it was a good time.
I am sick again. My mom came over and picked up my son and my hubby left for work. Oh how I wish I could jump and run through a field. Instead I will call my doctor once again. Clean my bathroom and take a nap. Ahhhhh the joy!!!!
Hope the short week treats you all well and, thanks to my friend Mike P. for noticing my blog...... If I was any more computer lit. I would put up a link to his site. he is just to cute sometimes.

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning.
Happy 4th of July. Here I sit waiting for my all to exciting Weight Watchers cup cakes to get done baking so I may have a treat when Linda and I take the kids to the parade in Richfield.
When did I become what I used to make fun of? I however do not drive a minivan. I drive a Mercedes. My saving grace. And my child is still to young for soccer. Good news though he did finally learn to crawl yesterday. Yes thats right only one week before his 1st birthday.
Well I'm off to sweat and burn in this fine summer day.
Happy fireworks and jello salads to everyone.

Ok lets start with an image. Me, bed head, riding my Vespa for 20 min with out a helmet before I find my self at Carribou. Welcome to Sunday morning coffee slingers. After I ordered I used the rest room to wash my hands and when I looked in the mirror I screamed a little. Yep, and then I went out and put another dollar in the tip jar just for having him take my order with a straight face. As I rode home I could only giggle to myself how much living in the 'burbs has changed me.
