Got sick this weekend. Sucks dude. Went to work anyway. Everyone's sick there.

I think my Spanish is getting better. I still pronounce everything like the whitest damn girl from the valley and say "like" too much, but I'm trying.

Next Sunday is my birthday. I don't want anything at all, really, just a few nice meals with my family and my friends. I wouldn't turn down a pretty trinket, but it's a nice feeling to look around and say, "I don't want for anything." I feel very lucky.

Mom was away this weekend visiting Zephyr and Carrie. Henry hasn't started talking yet so they're having a speech therapist come visit with him. No matter. I was bald until I was three and I have quite a lustrous head of hair now. Anything can happen, and anyway, I'm pretty sure Henry is the smartest boy in the world. He is MY nephew, after all.

There's somebody I sometimes miss but I love my freedom more. When there are lonely hours late at night I pick at my guitar or cuddle with Toby until he drools on my arm. During the day I almost never think of it. Anyway, I am beginning to find other distractions.

Look at that guy, shedding on my black dress.

THERE IS ALWAYS MORE WORK AND THERE IS NEVER MORE MONEY.

/bitching about my job

Got my schedule together. Now I just have to start working on getting the time off to perform on the 23rd. Gonna have to start sucking it.
But for now I'm stoked to be attending Julia's bachelorette party on Saturday and seeing Thao play the Casbah on Sunday. This weekend is going to be fucking amazing. Oh, and I'm getting my hair did by Lissa. She just so happens to be the bomb.com. I'm really looking forward to cutting loose and looking foxy. Fuck yeah.

Sometimes I just get home from a long day or whatever and I just look at my cat and he makes me feel like nothing is wrong in the world. Look at that guy. He's just so soft and handsome and he waits up for me because he thinks he can sweet talk a snack out of me. And he can. I am such a fucking cat lady. But it's probably better for me right now if I'm practically a nun and take out all my affection on my cat than if I get tangled up with some drug dealer, kid toucher or man whore as has oft been my wont.
