The whole play writing thing has always been a mystery to me, much like the concept of writing in "chapters". My life has so many threads in it there should be a tapestry somewhere with all the colors and moods tied together in a bow. I am a perpetual follower in a lot of ways, always putting off until tomorrow what would benefit me right now. That is a saving grace in one respect because it forces me to accept my limits and slow the hell down. Happy pills also help with that :) BG will be 29 in the same month that I turn 58, the one time in a girl's life when she's half as old as her mama. I was 29 when I gave birth to her and it seems like centuries ago that she was a little white blonde munchkin. She's a good woman, and I'm proud of how she's taken some mighty big family dysfunction and turn it into a new life for herself. Kudos,babygirl.

A couple of my friends are going to see Michael McDonald in Nashvegas and I'm totally jealous. When I suggested he might need me for a GF, she told me his wife might not like that. See!! They're all either married or gay. Or lazy. Or maybe it's me? Nah, couldn't be because I just ooze humility most of the time. Truly? You can't make this shit up.

I threw out another open house invite to try and drum up the antique junk shop business so we can pay the utility bill. It absolutely blows my mind to think of the $350 summer months prior to the new AC unit where it was discovered that the freakin' vent from the unit to duct was almost shut. I'm thinking about asking for a rebate. That is in addition to about 1000 bucks a year for propane, and we all know how that story rolls. Bless his heart, he's the only one who just listens to me cry and promise that before (or after) I die he will get paid. There's this little item that has gotten tacked onto utility bills in our area called a TVA surcharge. The bill shows a breakdown of what the local company charges you and then TVA adds on about half again to "make up for volcanic ash, etc". Bull.Shit. You people are rolling in money and sticking it to the consumer. How much do you pay in bonuses for your O's? Jesus wouldn't like that.

Music is my friend when nothing else seems to do the trick. Today it's Zac Brown and his band but any other time it might be ELO or Zeppelin. My favorite video lately is of the gas pump karaoke stars from the Leno show. These people are fantastic! She's all shy and stuff at first and then they get it rocking! *dance break*

Peace and love to all ya'll. Oh, and by the way? I know that I spell ya'll wrong according to popular belief but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
