Hello Friends. As a pet parent, I love my dogs as if they are my children. Our pets are so close to us, that we often treat them better than we treat ourselves. They provide us comfort, laughs, protection and undiluted love. When they hurt, we hurt along with them and we try to provide as much care as we can when they are in need. I don't know if you remember last year when I asked you for help

since this week started, i have been hidden away behind a desk from just about everything. the only thing not  hidden away is my poor liver. i'm sure if it could talk it would beg me to lay off the sauce. but i'm on a lunch break. so yesterday two of my girl friends and i went out for martinis in the middle of the day. we found a place with five dollar absolut vodka martinis. we sat and tried

sometimes i find myself getting really annoyed at people for no reason. for example, there's this girl, let's call her "tiffany" who i've decided is my nemesis for a couple of reasons. one, she is a little too shallow for me. two, she is a little too loud for me. three, she is a wannabe attention seeker. four, she wears her hair too short so it makes her head look like it's going to explode, and

for some reason this woman at the doc's office asked me when i plan to have children (no idea why she would ask this). i responded: "when i am done being an *idiot." she said "oh don't worry, it will come." but i'm not worried. it was such a weird exchange of words and i was kind of proud of my response. it's very straight to the point, no bull shit, clear. "when i am done being an *idiot."

you compare lovers. it's the natural thing to do. you do it without being conscious of it. you find comfort and relief in the differences in the lines in their faces, the similarities in their voices, their mannerisms. of course: sometimes the similarities re-open wounds that you thought were healed and forgotten, but that hurt just as much as they did in in the first instance of injury. the

So last night i had a great time. i drank a lot of sangria, ate some really good tapas, drank vodka and chambord martinis, watched a drag queen sing a lot of bad karaoke (my favorite was when she sang "what's love got to do with it" tina turner action) and didn't make too much of an ass out of myself. it was sweet. my friend also made me laugh until i almost wet myself when he said something

Summer is headed it's way up though the south. Along with it, hurricane season, poolside weekends, backyard BBQ, and fireworks. Spring break has just ended, and Easter looms over. The Hubfest this weekend, and the French Quarter Fest next month. I've got next mardi gras planned, and Halloween worked out. Work is going good; and spring cleaned my house and lawn. It's almost too good... wonder

  With all of my heart, I know I could love you. But, with all of my soul, I'm driftin away. With all of my mind, I know you could save me from myself And anything else… With all of my strength, I wanna reach out for you. With every breath, I call out your name. With every step, I just wanna turn around and say, “Baby make it okay.” But I'm so afraid that you've forgiven

On Sunday, February, 10, 2013 at 5:30 pm, my hometown of Hattiesburg, MS was directly hit by an F-4 Tornado. It tore a path through the city, affecting the University of Southern Mississippi… many friends and their families lost everything they owned. All within minutes.  It took out 12 homes on my Gram’s street alone. She was lucky to only have minor roof damage, but 200 yards away, neighbors

No, not really, but you never really know people ... That's not the real case these days, but I tell ya, I have known these people for 22 years and sometimes I wonder about them.

As I move through this life, I start to figure out that maturity doesn't mean getting old. It means I know more; am aware of more things and realize the impact my actions have on myself and others. I can honestly say I'm not that different from the kid who grew up in a small town wanting to escape to something that seemed better but hang onto my deeply embedded roots... It's never as
