Damn HARD DRIVES!!!
I swear in the last year (or just barely over) we have spent over $700 in hard drives and about two months out of their measley little 12 month warranties they FAIL!!!
So…right now my 40 gigs of MP3's are now in a lifeless drive. I am D I S G U S T [...]

A candlelight vigil will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, September 30, 2006 for Stand up Together Overcoming hatred Peace in Charles County, or STOP, at the Charles County Courthouse on Charles Street, La Plata, sponsored by the local [...]

I won't be able to blog this weekend - fyi - some database changed are a-happenin'.
I'm realizing I've grown rather blog-adicted.

I saw a sign on running errands one morning for ilovewaldorf.com.
I've been all worked up lately about trying to do my tiny little part to make a better community and I was hopeful when I saw the sign.
I went home and typed it in and submitted a photo (which did show up in the gallery). [...]

The Charles County Arts Alliance is having an art summit.
You may have heard me complain in the past that the CCAA agreed to put 13 pieces of my artwork on display - but "no nudes."
That didn't work for me, so I never did that. I only kicked up a slight fuss about it, but decided [...]

I was cc'd in on a letter to The Delusional Duck by Ms. Abell.
By the way, if you are a Charles County citizen with any interest in what is going on in your county you really need to read the Duck's website.
Here is the important part of her letter:
"I do believe the voting public [...]

What a BEAUtiful day today.
Sunny…breezy…the evening will be mild and the windows will be wide open.
These are perfect camping days.
Perfect camping nights.
Endless stars.
Pressed, close.
The smell of smoke in our hair…on our skin.
The sound of insects and life all around.

I keep having these mini panics when I think about rabies.
I know that the Charles County Health Department SAYS that the Tri-County Animal Shelter SAID that the animal lived and was healthy during the ten day period. But who determined that?
They wouldn't let me look at the animal.
They wouldn't give me details.
I don't know [...]

I just felt like writing something, but have no plan, so here goes.
I love morning sex.
I like the way ice cream tastes when it?s a little melted.
Cds that have been scratched or are otherwise useless look so cool that I hate throwing them away.
I like cuddling with my daughters, even though they aren?t babies anymore.
I [...]

Help my friend Richard raise $2000 towards Cure Autism.
Some of you may know that my step-son Mike was diagnosed with a form of autism years ago.
Mike is now 17 and currently in Basic Training in Illinois for the Navy. He not only is doing well, he is doing very well and I think he [...]

Fourteen Years
Today is my fourteenth wedding anniversary.
That's a long time to be married to somebody.
Robert and I have actually been living together closer to seventeen years.
Kisses, lovemaking, lies, hugs, babies, fights, diapers, long walks, broken promises, swimming in the ocean, sharing dreams and fears.
Being vulnerable in front of each other - and very [...]

You have until 8pm to get your vote in for the primary election!
If you are registered Republican or Democrat you can cast your vote for your party candidate choice.
If you are unaffiliated like me you can only vote in the Board of Education Race.
If you don't know your registration status or what polling place you [...]

Why isn't today a national memorial day?
I watched a documentary about 9/11 on CBS tonight.
As I watched and listened at all of the horror and sadness I kept thinking, “This is victory to somebody. Somebody is overjoyed at this suffering.”
Fundamentalist religions are dangerous - no matter which God they are worshiping.

I don?t know what this feeling in the air is.
The chaos around me perhaps has awakened my senses.
No rest over the summer left me open for this.
Keeping my hands and mind too busy with things and duties.
And this energy, I cannot explain it.
It comes in its time, and leaves me with this sad empty feeling [...]

Tender floating down
Round, round, round
Sounds gently
gently
caressing my heart, my soul
Constellations
and the smell of honeysuckle
The feel of grass on the back of my naked arms
And my breasts, soft
And the sound of your voice
And the hopes inside of you
flowing into me

Just as I was announcing my intent on voting for Ms. Young for school board, she evidently decided to pull out of the race.
It's a loss for the Charles County School System - if you read the minutes and her site, you will see what she stands for. Maybe she wasn't tireless after all [...]

I have had a pretty stressful week, but I wanted to get at least one Charles County School Board blog done today.
There is so much more information to go through than I ever would have guessed.
My first official choice for school board is Margaret Young.
I know, I know - she's so controversial, and not [...]

Sometimes, even if we are in a rut or have a very steady routine, the reigning Queen of the World, Chaos, will make her presence known.
Yesterday after school I took my daughter to pick up her purse where she had left it two days before. Then we went to the local music store to [...]

It's time for my beautiful people choices for this Friday.
My celebrity choice this week is Rita Moreno.
Rita Moreno is well known for her many talents and performances, but I remember her best as Anita in West Side Story and in skits in The Electric Company.
You can see a list of many of the things she's [...]
