random ramblings

okay, the heart thingy got a little out of control today but everything's fine now. sure is scary when it happens and i hate feeling that way, it seems to take a lot out of me and i'm tired for a long time.

no big whup.

the weather is AWESOME today... sun is shining, got the windows open... it's 63. took donna to a job interview, and she did very well. she says this way my job will consist of getting her to HER job... and that's okay. i know it's taken more time to get her where she needs to be, but i dont believe in pushing your kids so hard the damage is not healable. after what she went through, i sure can afford patience. patience i was never granted, so i'm happy to be able to break that part of the cycle.

(i know ya'll dont have a clue what i'm talking about but i do, and it feels good to articulate even a tiny bit of it.)

i happened to catch a piece of maury povich on tv in between crisises (crisisis? crisis'??) and holy shit, people are so dumb. when your SO or spouse or best friend says to you.... let's go on maury povich i have something to tell you, guess what? IT'S NOT GOOD NEWS, PEOPLE!!! don't go!!! invariably someone you trust is giving the goods to someone else you trust (or to someone REALLY nasty) or there are potential offspring involved... you know, 37 DNA tests to see who the father really is. ( after 37, i think they chalk it up to an immaculate conception.) it is just unreal to me how out of control some people's genitals are... and how willing they are to advertise that fact on national tv. ugh.

****

there was a good exercise on Starting Over, though... one of the women had to make a list of the 20 reasons why she thinks the man she's dating is The One. if you can't up with 20, maybe you should move on. i think that's an excellent exercise for couples at all stages should do from time to time... to remind themselves why they're together and what they mean to each other. it should be a monthly thing, and if i'm ever in the Wedded Bliss state again (although i think i'd rather swallow a doorknob... it has GOT to be less painful) i believe i would make that a part of the regular curriculum, along with monthly dates where you go out of the house and fuck like bunnies somewhere.

there's a lot of things i would do different if i ever got ma... uh... marr.... ugh... well, you know, again.
sometimes, you make such ignorant decisions when you are young. that's why most the time (cept for the heart thingy) i'm glad i'm the age i am. inside i still feel 19 (and i suspect almost everyone does) but at least there are times when i feel a whole lot smarter than i did at that age.

patience is the key.

****

i'm really tired so that's all for today, friends and neighbors.

: )
