KIM( JUST ME)
hubby has decided to go to the "beach" and take ashley and a friend 'till sunday night!!!!! they just left. he begged me to go. NO THANKS. first of all biloxi is not my idea of a "beach" and spending 3 nights in a hotel room with HIM and two giggly 14 year olds is NO FUN FILLED EVENT EITHER!!!!!
SO, I AM "ON MY OWN" FOR THREE precious days. now, what to do? since he is so jealous of my friends( mostly male) i thought now would be the time to "catch up". i left three messages for thre
when i first came back to work in february 2004, after my stroke in 12-03, i sat in front of this very computer in a stupor. i don't know how long i sat here, and remember very little, but i do remember crying. i was alone, in the physical AND emotional sense. i sobbed until my sides ached and my eyes were swollen. i DO remember thinking, how do i turn this thing on? next memory, finally getting online and putting in key words stroke and support. since there are no groups around here for this ty
ok, i knew it wouldn't be easy, this "gym gig". but i had NO IDEA just how hard it would actually be!!!!
i had my fourth visit today. i have started out slowly , like i am supposed to, but you would think after over a YEAR of dancersize and free weights at home i'd be in better shape!!!!! NOT!!!!
you'd THINK i had never been a member of a gym before, not so. I just don't remember it being this TORTUROUS!!!! i thought with it being a cardio care gym that it wouldn't be as har
i did a BRAVE thing for a forty two year old woman to do. i took a LONG HARD LOOK at myself in A FULL LENGHTH MIRROR, DISROBED.
i haven't had the nerve to do that in over ten years. i decided that if i was going to TRY to "get my old body back", then i had to know what exactly i was up against. it was frightening, but i survived. i figured if i could survive a stroke, then i could survive that kind of potential shock too. lol
at first i was scared to look. i figured if my
all of my life i have tried to avoid just saying NO, somehow NO without a backup explantion seemed, well, unfriendly. i have recently changed my views on the subject. i have grown TIRED of repeating myself over and over and over and over to the SAME PEOPLE and being questioned as to WHY i can't do a particular thing that ( whatEVER) IT IS THEY WANT ME TO DO AT THE MOMENT. by not just saying NO, i leave the door open for three things.
1) their talking me ( or should i say wearing me down)
hubby's going out of town AGAIN, ( couldn't be happier) to play black jack on the gulf coast with friends. i have decided i am going to sleep with matt every night while he's gone. he HATES matt. matt is hot. he is a full size body length mat with vibrators and a heating pad all in one with adjustable settings. i love "the mat" so much , i named him, like i do my cars. MATT makes hubby angry. he is even JEALOUS OF INANIMATE OBJECTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
i'll have a FEVER and say "BRIN

IT'S UGLY, CAUSE I'M MAD MAD MAD MAD MAD MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i want a wife to raise my child even though she has none of her own. i want her to take on all of the responsibility of raising my child, being her friend, and not worrying me with any details of "problems", because i am a sorry excuse for a father and taking time with my own child m
this is in reference to my "bony knees" post. it's AMAZING what a week on the couch will do to a husband. NOW, my knees aren't "bony" to him anymore. NOW, they are "shapely". i also have gotten my car gassed up and washed, flowers sent to my office, the kitchen cleaned up( he hasn't EVER cleaned the kitchen) phone calls of endearment, impromtu lunch invitations, and an outpouring of affection and compliments.
is all of this insincere? probably so. i am not that GULLIBLE. BUT I AM VINDI
I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO "MR. SMOOTH TALKER" FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND HE RECENTLY CHOSE TO INFORM ME THAT HE THINKS I HAVE BONY KNEES!!!!!
HE SAID MY "BONY KNEES" GIVE HIM BRUISES IN HIS BACK WHEN WE ARE ASLEEP. I WAS LIVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SAID" WHY HAVE YOU WAITED ALL OF THESE YEARS TO TELL ME YOU HATE MY KNEES!!!!" HE THEN SAYS" I DIDN'T SAY I HATED YOUR KNEES, BUT THEY ARE BONY" NOW I'M WIDE AWAKE AT 3AM LOOKING AT MY BONY KNEES AND GETTING REALLY MAD. I CAN'T LEAVE IT ALONE

6) I LIKE TO MAKE CHEESE TOAST TOPPED WITH ANCHOVIES AS A MIDNIGHT SNAC
LIMERICKS
i have always enjoyed them and could ALWAYS make up funny ones at the drop of a hat, until monstor stroke struck. however, a close friend i have made on this site, does EVERYTHING in his power to help motivate me to "rewire" my thinking, it has helped tremendously. anyway, a few days ago, he, being wittier than myself, extemporaneously blurted out a funny one he had just made up. i laughed until i CRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUDDENLY, one came to my mind , then anoth
PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE
those words have been branded in my mind since my neurologist visit this morning. i was asking him about my memory problems. he said "hon, you have to accept that you have PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE i said"YOU TOLD ME MY BRAIN COULD RECIRCUIT ITSELF IN TIME"!!!!!! he says, " i think it has to a great degree. but with PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE, there are no guarantees. in my 30 years exerience if anything comes back, it's usually within two years".
so i said" so

i have done a complete re-assessment of my personal views on certain beliefs i hold in the last fews month to try to make sense out of them. maybe writing it will jolt my brain.
i believe in pro choice and the death penalty but think that murder is wrong. how can i believe in part but not in whole. where did i get the idea that some forms of murder are acceptable, and some not. how is murder truly defined, i wonder. we have "justifiable homicide", and legal abortion at certain trimest

we do weird stuff to our food and eat weird things. like, we sweeten our tea( not me but everybody else) and then put a sour lemon in it. we put hot sauce on EVERYTHING. we can't have greens ( turnips) without hamhock in it and cornbread with a raw onion. we eat banana sandwiches with peanut butter on it. we like
this blog is dedicated to rod williams, one of our newer members.
rod has caused me many thought provoking moments with his genius commentaries. he has also taken me on SEVERAL "magic carpet rides" with his insight, wit, and original methods of story telling. rod is rod. he doesn't claim to be anything else. rod is REAL.
rod has a hip, flower child kind of existence which must make him and his loved ones live with a sense of freedom that most of us will never experience. rod is
my BAD night rolled right over into a BAD HAIR DAY TODAY!!!!!!! i bought this fancy new cell phone that does EVERYTHING including cable chanel access. JUST got it on saturday. SO, i'm on the phone with a good friend of mine and then BLAM, it cuts off and won't even take a charge. i was LIVID. so, today i am phoneless and keep checking messages from the land line and hear all of these panicky messages because clients can't reach me. it never occurs to them to call my office.
THEN, i had
