The Light(er) Side of Growing Up

One victory at a time

Way to go California !!!

One more reason for me to head out west :)

Thoughts today

In bullets, because the combination of severe allergies and a migraine caused by Womanly Issues is making me fuzzy and cranky.

• I'm not a regular watcher of the show, but I have been periodically watching ER for the past decade.  Is this sad to anyone else?  Also, are there people out there who have been tuning in every week for the past ten years?  Are the same people who watched George Clooney and Nurse Hathaway have a dramatic love affair watching Uncle Jesse and the slutty nurse have sex in Curtain 4?  Oh, you didn't know Uncle Jesse was on ER now? 

Yes, John Stamos went from being the hip music-playing uncle in Full House to life saving doctor on ER.  He is just that good.  And if every word he said could make you laugh, he'd talk forever.

• My parents went on vacation this week and asked me to keep an eye on things and basically run the household in their absence.  I thought - piece of cake - my brothers are 19 and 16 and big boys who can take care of themselves and who understand that things operate business as usual even without parental supervision.  HA.  HA. HA.  I have never been more wrong in my life.   Let's just say the highlight of my week came when I was woken up at 5 a.m. by our cat who not only wanted to eat but had also shit in the hallway because someone left the door to the basement (where his litter box is) shut. 
• I have gotten several comments in the last month on how thin I look and maybe I've lost some weight?  I continue to laugh at these remarks because, no, I did not lose any weight and perhaps it's all just an optical illusion.  I did lose some weight after the break-up because I just couldn't eat much for a few weeks.  Then all I did was eat.  So it all balanced out.  And actually, the last couple weeks, I have felt like a giant goliath woman.  Yesterday I decided I might even be fraggle-like.  Specifically, this guy:

Thoughts? 

Ok, 3 bullet points is all I could muster up.  I am a useless human being today.

Sometimes it hits you like a brick wall

Sometimes the act of loving someone can be nearly unbearable, because there is so goddamn much to lose.

Could not have said it better.
