Someone call Scotty, I need to be beamed down... to North Carolina, that is. My sister needs me, and it hurts like a hot roasting spit in my eye that I can't just BE there for her.

Baby girl, if it were in my power to be there when you just need someone to laugh with, I would. I have total faith in you that you will make things work FOR YOU. By this I mean that you will give all the effort you can, and care to. I know that if this isn't working out for you, you will have the strength to say, "No Mas." and come back and do something else. And if it is, you will be a success at it. Either way, I am now, and will always be 110% team Marissa, and I know that you'll make things work FOR YOU (whatever that may look like) and be happy. In the mean time, I am so sorry to hear that you are lonely. I miss you too, with all my heart. I wish I could make it all better.

If it helps, I've decided to cancel Christmas. What's the point without you here?

Hi kids. I have NO IDEA why I'm here today, as I actually have nothing to say. Hmmmm, must be this nagging sense of blogger commuinity obligation.

soooooooo..... ah...... OH! Happy Father's Day to Wryguy!! AND Happy Quasi-Father's Day to Smithkid and Blix!!

Whew. That took a lot out of me. In case anyone wondered how deep my phobia of sharks runs, we went to see Finding Nemo (you know, the CHILDRENS cartoon) and the scenes with the shark actually made me uncomfortable to watch. Someone call Freud.

Okaaaaaaay, stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Tempst: YOU MEAN YOU STILL WENT TO SLEEP KNOWING THAT THE SECOND LARGEST SPIDER YOU'D EVER SEEN WAS STILL ALIVE AND IN YOUR YARD??? I CAN'T EVEN SLEEP KNOWING IT'S IN CONNETICUT!!too close... too close...

UIM: A little death never killed anybody...

Chynacatt and GClef: try going for long walks. I don't know what that's supposed to do, but everyone tells really pregnant women to do that. Excuse me, I have to go boil some water and rip up some sheets...
