Bra Diving?

Carrie's Brandon Phillips doll, bra diving down my shirt. Yes, we are weird......

Bored and Irritable

Goofy day. Carrie and I are discussing YoVille, the Holy Spirit, and the Nuremberg trials- not necessarily in any sane order. It's a boring day. Goat Boy is taking me to the grocery later today. My roadrunner email is acting up, and it's pissing me off royally. Wanting to go hide from today. I'm so bored and irritable.....

Love in the Spring

My love and I at the house tour.

Haunted House

I went with Carrie and her mom yesterday to a historical homes show in the German Village. My favorite one was where we stopped and talked to the owners about possible paranormal activity in the house. The top photo shows Carrie in front of the house. The second and third ones are bedrooms in the house. The fourth one is a portrait of an ancestor of one of the owners. The fifth one is a staircase in the house. The sixth one is a piano, reputed to be played by a ghost called "Andrew." The last two photos are of one of the house's owners in her historical finery.

A Rant and A Photo

Another quiet night in the realm of Ricki....am angry with a friend of mine b/c she creates drama, and have decided it is not in my best interest to speak with her in the near future. She has become an entirely negative person, and I attract enough negativity on my own. So, I am artfully dodging her zillions of calls. She's blowing up my phone out of spite, and I will not tolerate such nastiness in my life, if I can help it.

Took a photo of myself today that is interesting, but I have no real use for it. I will include it here.

Happy Mother's Day!

I spent a fairly quiet week at Carrie's house, so that's why the absence of blogs. Went bar hopping with Marty last night, and today I'm visiting my grandmother in honor of Mother's Day. I wish my own mother would hurry up and get here, because I have a million chores to do when I get home. I need to do laundry, dishes, clean the living room....the fun never ends. Right now, though, I'm just texting with Carrie and drinking club soda. I see a cigarette in my immediate future....oh, my life is exciting!

To Marty, if he ever finds this blog

Into The Night

I feel so sick and weak today, enough to ask myself what the point of all this is. Shall I continue to fight with all I have, to face a lifetime like this? I can't justify the battle, the struggle to survive, if bare survival is all I can muster up. I am falling apart. I feel like I used to: like Evita in the end of the musical. "Oh, what I'd give for a hundred years, but the physical interferes every day more, O My Creator. What is the good of the strongest heart in a body's that's falling apart? A serious flaw- I hope you know that..." I want to go to my bed and not rise from it again. Whatever it takes, I don't want to face this. I feel like a coward. I've not enough guts to either end it all, or accept it and be brave. I deny the inevitable, chasing the good days. What happens when all my good days are used up? I want to fade into the night, blend with the darkness until I am hidden from the evil that has invaded my physical form. One night, I will.

My Political Rant

My message to Congressional Republicans: put up or shut up. They criticize everything President Obama says, then gum up our legislative branch with their nut job right wing causes. Enough is enough! Under Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II, nothing was done to overturn Roe vs Wade, but people like my mother vote Republican to prove how "pro-life" they are. What about the life that's already on this planet? Jesus of Nazareth never actually condemned abortion or homosexuality, but those are the only two issues that mater to most Republicans. To deny LGBT (and other groups) rights, Republicans threw out an entire bill on domestic violence recently. The Democratic Party isn't perfect, but the GOP is so far off base, it isn't funny.

Angel de mi guardia

Tried to sketch my guardian angel....perhaps if you could blend the two sketches, it would be right......

Frizzled, Frazzled, and Fried.....

Today was Nonna's visitation, funeral, and burial. I went to the visitation this morning, then ran errands in the heat this afternoon. I am exhausted! Doing laundry right now....tomorrow is full, with getting blood work done and more errands. I will be glad for the weekend. I feel like I might fall over, just sitting here. And my brain is totally fried. I would fall apart, but I haven't even got the energy. Just plodding on like a little mule, lol. And trying to go to bed early tonight.......
