"The Religion of Peace" Can Kiss My Ass

Among the thousands of innocent men, women, and 8 children those evil pigs killed was a beloved priest -- Father Mychal Judge.

So spare me any of the tolerance bullshit.

Here's how WE remember the man who now sits in Heaven,

along side the fire fighters who loved him so much.

Make a Wish

On Friday I had the honor of helping my dear friend toast her birthday at one of our favorite hot spots. As I lingered over a thoroughly yummy glass of wine, I stopped to gaze over the wide assortment of people who had gathered with the same goal in mind . . . to celebrate and give thanks for this magnificient, amazing young woman who brings such joy and comfort to all who are privileged enough to be her friend!

Then a thought occurred to me . . . HOW does she possibly balance all of these people, not to mention her own life challenges and obligations? Her life is so busy, so full . . . and yet she somehow finds time to be there, in such an intimate, soul-baring kind of way for all of us???!!!

And no matter what I throw at her, she handles it with the most perfect balance of grace, humor, and mischievous.

She is the one person who probably knows ALL of my shit (and I do mean ALL OF IT), and she loves me anyway. She makes me feel beautiful and sexy, and like I have lots of worth, even on my ugly days.

She gets me. Thank God.

And I get the gift of her . Thank God.

Here Come the Cousins -- Part Two . . . When Cousins Strike Back!

Once again, this entry is also definitely overdue. But part of the reason is every time I have TRIED to post this, the memory of this night makes me laugh my ass off so hard, I can't even type!

Sure, Emily and Rob's wedding was a great time . . . but best of all were the post-wedding "activities" with Dave and Natalie.

Of course, Dave may not remember it too clearly.

Thanks goodness we have photos to refresh his memory.

Love ya, Dave ;o)

Can't wait until Thanksgiving!
