This is the time of year that everything slows down for me. My father and I have been birthday buddies since I was born. Every year we looked forward to September. We are the only members of our family that didn't have Spring birthdays~I can remember always feeling so special that it was just the two of us. My birthday is on the 20th and his exactly one week later on the 27th.  Usually, we would share a big chocolate cake and tease the one whose birthday ended up being on a weekday. In about eleven days it will be 3 years since my father lost his battle with Cancer. I shouldn't really call it a battle! He was diagnosed in August and he died in October~ that's hardly enough time to put up much of a fight!! He never even made it to his first Chemo treatment. It has been a long and hard three years. Not only losing my birthday buddy, but losing my protector.....my strength....my comforter....my Superman....my Daddy.  I know that I am so blessed to have had him in my life for as long as I did~BUT I just wanna be selfish here and say I wish he could have stayed longer. He was the most AWESOME man ever! He gave everything that he had to provide for us.  He served our country for the first half of his life and raised our family for the second half.  He had the most infectious laugh, and great personality.  He would do anything in his power to help anyone in need! One of my favorite memories is riding down the road in his work truck singing silly songs about nothing at all. It seems simple but it was such a blessing and so much fun.  He used to make me so mad~ but as soon as he told me NOT to smile.. I couldn't help it!! The biggest smile would overcome my face, and we would just laugh so much!! Thank you so much Daddy~ for loving me and supporting me with everything you had!! You will always be close to my heart!! I love you!!

Alabama~ New Orleans & Detox

     I just got back from an amazing trip with my good friend Jenny~ First to Alabama then to New Orleans. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to stop at my brother's house on the way to visit for a couple of hours (wish my niece Maddie would have been there). My brother & sister-in-law were as funny as ever. I don't get to see them very often at all so the time was much needed! My niece~ the wonderful Tails~ was being her normal silly, loveable self & Maddie was missing in action. Man, I miss those girls! Now on to New Orleans~~      Bourbon Street was the typical "strip" that you can locate in every town. Bourbon street was a smaller scale Vegas and a bigger 6th street from my childhood. The smell was unique, and the art galleries that smelled like horse stalls was an unexpected twist to my walk in the French Quarter. I know it seems like this is going to be filled but nothing but negatives, but it's not. The buildings were ab...

Black Swan

  I went to see Black Swan with a good friend expecting to be blown away by Natalie Portman's performance AND I was. She did an amazing job! I totally believe that she has lost her mind! Lol! The movie is movie theatre worthy and I even think it's worth the late night price. I must warn you that it is somewhat fast, so if you have a difficult time keeping up with reality vs delusions you might want to sit this one out. Also, (obviously) there is alot of ballet~ so again if this isn't your thing you'll want to pass.  The only thing I didn't care for was the three scenes that added nothing to the plot but were strategically placed anyways. Apparently Hollywood canNOT make a movie without throwing some dirty scenes in. To be honest I was sitting there feeling mildly awkward while watching one of the scenes thinking...."Is this really happening?". I won't spill the beans on the rest of the movie just in case you would like to judge for yourself! Overall, f...

Hello...It's me

Well here we are again. Ramblings of the unimportant. My therapist would say that my first step should be to stop the negative self talk, but what would I say then? I am on a journey of healing. After nearing 45 years of various trauma, I'm afraid that it's going to be quite a long journey. My only prayer is that God allows me enough time to work through it before I am called home. I would hate to leave this life in as a disappointing way as I've managed to live it thus far. This is basically going to be my journal to healing. I need an outlet so I decided to dust off this log in and actually use it to get it all out of my head. Here we go.
