The lovely Maria is no longer with us. An automobile accident removed her from us early Monday morning. There will be a viewing/celebration service to remember her wonderful life and to mark her death. The service will be at Hartselle Heritage Funeral Home, Saturday at 2 or 3, and if anybody wishes to send flowers, their address is 1401 Main Street, East, Hartselle Alabama 35640.

Again, we are all saddened by her loss, and are poorer for her passing. Feel free to post here memories of her, ways she has touched your life and made the world a beeter place.

You overhear a mother complaining about the tanning salon not letting her 11 year old daughter tan.

She's 11! It's not like she's 8!!

friend of redneck woman says, Oh, that's just ridiculous!







Down here in the south they don't care much for black people, but an 11 year old with artificially tanned skin is fab. Go figure.

Me: A 5 day coma sounds so restful right now

Him: But you've already tried that and found it not to your liking.


I'm so close to finishing.
I'm running out of steam

I better not sabatoge myself.

Listen self, just do this work. Go ahead and get it over with and maybe, just maybe, you'll have a day left over and be able to enjoy a little slice of your spring break.


eh.

The interview went AWESOME.

I was informed that there were over 200 applicants for the position (whoa) and they picked the top 14 to interview. That includes me. Awesome. The next stage is picking the top 5 of those 14 to interview again and the entire board will pick the top candidate for the position. There were 6 people interviewing me. It was a little intimidating at first but I actually enjoyed it. The only rough spot was my inexperience with fiscal management but that is something that can be taught and learned.

The schedule is set for the next round of interviews to be held at the end of next month and the hire date is June 1. That would be PERFECT timing. It would give me 2 weeks to unwind from school and then I could start work. Wow.

The Vagina Monologues went very well. We sold out both nights and raised over $5,000 with the play alone.
If you missed it, you missed one of the best things to happen in Huntsville this year. Shame on you.

The cast:


We also had our largest drag show yet. Over 200 people came and we raised almost a thousand dollars. Again, if you missed it, you missed an awesome time. I was all dressed up and ready to get out there and shake my (wo)man parts for charity when I had a seizure. It's lame and I hate my body and my mind for not being able to function properly. At least I didn't have a seizure and pee on myself during the show. As always, Michael is a prince and takes exceptional care of me.

We are considering names for our drag troupe (JJ came up with 'The Rocket City Kings.' Awesome) and taking the show on the road. What do you think?

Also, the interview is this Friday and I've been researching the title. Executive Director.

I think I'll just drop dead of a heart attack if I get it.
Physical preparations should not be overshadowed by mental prep.
The facial cleansing and teeth whitening have begun.



Wish me luck!

The National Symposium on Child Abuse starts tomorrow and I'm excited to be a part of it again this year. A lot of prep goes into it and it draws professionals from around the world. It's an amazing thing. If you're local, consider donating some time (the thing the kids need the most) as a mentor or to NCAC to complete projects and do community outreach. You'll thank you for it. ;)

I could stay in there forever.

I am always in pain.

I. can't. take. it.

I have an interview for an awesome position, next Friday.
Executive Director of a local agency for abused and neglected children.

I'm dissatisfied with the way things are.
The way I feel they will always be.

I feel paralyzed to change them.


I'm confused about what I want.
I'm embarrassed of the things I want.

I need a solution.

The Vagina Monologues

This weekend at the Flying Monkey
Saturday 8:00
Sunday 2:30

Bring the beverage of your choice and enjoy the show!

Come early as we plan to sell-out like last year!

We have a really talented cast this year and I'm excited to narrate.
Come support the cause!

But, fyi, it's not you, it's him I'm afraid of.



Nightmares for weeks:

When does the mask come off?

Also, my health sucks but I'm not going to die any time soon.
Don't worry too much about me.

Someone offered to buy my medicine for me.
People can be good.

I can be good.

Well, Michael forbade me going to school today so I'm sitting here at home, feeling like a loser. I had a seizure last night on the elliptical machine and busted my ass. Although I rested last night he wanted me to sit on my butt today too. I'm lonely, anyone want to come visit? Last night Kali also spotted a dog that looked a lot like Shiva. She cried and cried until M let her out. It wasn't Shiva, of course, and she's sad today.

The zits on my forehead have not gone away. I think I'll take the potato peeler to my forehead and just get rid of the top layer of skin. Yuck. I wouldn't mind so much, but they hurt. Ouch.



Since everyone liked the sneak peek into the house so much (and since I was so generously given a pro flicker account) I thought I would show you the not-so-nice sections of the house. Real people live here and we are not always clean ;)



Ity-bity kitchen. Italian cooks need space and in our next home the kitchen is going to be *HUGE*
Also, please note the wine bottle holder on the upper left, given to us by Chris. Isn't it cute?

Oh, and watching Michael's team win last night wasn't so bad with Tivo.

I guess that's all for now. I'm going to go veg out for half an hour. Hope everyone is having a good day!
