A Day In the Life......

Guest Writer today is Ms. Lana Mojo Lola Jo-Jo Sydney Bristow Valentino.

This morning I woke up....and my moms took me outside for chi-chi and boom boom. The elevator is broken again so I had to go down the stairs....I don't mind because it's fun. Then Mama left for work, she said bye to me before she left. So I ran back upstairs to mommy. We waited to see mama dirve away. I like when we do that.

Today is Monday which means I get to do luandry with mommy. I help her carry the basket, well I at least run down to the laundry room to make sure that everything is in order and no one is in there.

After we put the laundry in the washer we get to go back and I play with my best friend... Nemesis....

Sometimes I help her clean the tough spots to reach. She can be annoying but, I like to help out. Sometimes when I'm helping her she bites me. I don't like this.....so I tell mommy and she makes Nemesis leave me alone.

Then I get to go out back onto the balcony and watch the birds....

Sometimes Midnite and Nemesis sit out there with me. We really like the breeze and the sun. Callisto sits inside and watches us. I think she's afraid of me.... but then she come and snuggles with us, when I'm snuggling with mommy....

After we finishes folding laundry, mommy plays a game with me and I get really tired. I run and run and run, and then drink alot of water. It's sometimes really hot outside. So, when we come back upstairs mommy let's me relax wherever I want, so I lay right on her favorite pillow....

She must really love me... lol.

After I take a nice long nap, I help mommy keep the kitties in line. They like to act up and I have to get them back on track.

Then it's time for mama to come home and I can hardly contain myself. We wait outside for her, and then I go running to the stairs and greet my Mama! she's the best I love it when she comes home and pets my head and tells me she loves me. It's the best time of the day!

So, that's my day, I really like it and I really LOVE my moms!

WOOF WOOF!!

Blasts from the past

Wow....I can't believe how many old friends I've found lately. I tried looking on Classmates before but it costs money.... So Myspace to the rescue. I found so many friends old and new. I'm so happy for the chance to reconnect and see how everyone has grown. And yet see how much I haven't....lol...sort of.

I'm still the same goofy kid I always was. I've got a few more issues I'm dealing with, but mostly...I'm still Donna. I would love to spend time with all of the friends that I've found again. I miss hangin out and havin fun.

My new therapist is super nice and seems really willing to work with to help me get better. Nicole Diaz.... she's gonna start actually charting my progress. I'm looking forward to getting into my head and figurin it all out. Try not to get frustrated with myself in the process. Nothing is moving fst enough for me.

Well.. that was a convoluted post...sorry.....

So, this is my old closet door. How creative was I? How cool were my folks to let me do this to my door? And my walls? Some of my friends will remember this door and all the silliness that went with it! Art contributed and pictures.... Some really good memories with this door and so many metaphorical things too.... lol ....Just thought I'd post a blast from my past.

Peace ya'll!

Ok...WHAT THE?!?!?

Ok so I guess my dog is feelin a little insecure. Her and Nemesis (or cranky cat) are like best friends/ worst enemies. Lana cleans her all the time. And chases her and plays with her. Well, last night we were sittin in the room and Lana comes in and proceeds to try and HUMP Nemesis. WTH?!?!?!? I nearly fell off the bed laughing. Aforementioned creatures are both girls and both "fixed"

Anyone know what this is about? I'm assuming it's about social dominance. I was just curious.... Lol...it was soo funny....Nemesis had this look on her face... like, "What the hell do you think you're doin???
lol

Broken already.....

DEATHTRAP STRIKES AGAIN!!!!

Stuck open on the first floor!!!

Well, let's act like we're surprised. I would if I was, but sadly, the inept morons that put this thing together can't even fix it properly. I'm not surprised. Frustrated, yes, angry? Yes....

It's absurd that the elevator was working for 5 days??? Good grief. We'll see who long it takes them to come out and correct the problem this time. It's a WHOLE brand new elevator!!! For heaven's sake!!

Anyway, there ya go....HAppy Valentine's DAY!!!

Anyone have ANY ideas? Suggestions? Home Remedies?
I'm open to ANYTHING!
Pillow over my face?


Sleeping while standing?


Mouth full of feathers?

Thanks!

It's Official!! The Deathtrap is Operable!!!

It's amazing! It's a miracle!! I did a dance with the head of maintenance. It was ridiculous....and actually quite funny. Me and Victor the head guy doin a dance out front. It was funny.

I'm stunned into speechlessness.......

HOORAY!! HOORAY!!!

Peace ya'll!

I don't want to Jinx it....

There may be an end in sight. I was doin laundry and I saw the elevator guys out there with who I think was the county inspector. I saw a light come on. A door open....and some movement.

The deathtrap may be resurrected!!

Hallelujah! I'll let you know for sure...

Peace Ya'll!

Ice, Cars, and Sisters....OH MY!!

Well, my mom called me tonight to let me know that my sister and step-sister were in a car accident. For those of you who have been around, my step sister was in a TERRIBLE accident just before Christmas. Mom said that tonight they were going to bring my pop some food at work when they hit an icy patch and slid off the road into a ditch and hit a tree. My sisters door was smashed in and she hurt her neck and her hip. The ambulance was on it's way when my mom called me.

I just really want my mom to have some peace. I can't even begin to tell you what all she has been dealing with.

So much all at once and all the time. I wish they lived closer, then maybe I could help her somehow. As it is, they are in Arkansas...and I'm in SOUTH Florida...so......it makes it really hard to help.

Just sendin prayers their way that nothing is broken or out of place. My step sister broke lots of bones in Dec. So.......

I'll know more tomorrow.

Thanks....peace!

Later that day....

The view this afternoon from my 4th floor loo window. oooh if I zoom out all the way the screen looks less and less like a jail cell. yippee!!

Today was a tough day. Had a bad panic attack this morning. Keep tryin to work through it. I just wish I could figure out WHY they happen so I can make them S T O P!!! UGH!!

I'm feel better. I LOVE the new blogs I've been reading. They make me smile. I guess I did too much yesterday rearranging everyting by myself and not getting any sleep. Oy to the Vey! Loopy girl that I am. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my nice Florida weather...lol. I wish it was snowing...like it is at my mom's!

Peace ya'll!!

View from my Loo 2

The moon was HUGE and beautiful this morning. I tried to get it with my digital camera, but it's just so sad. I wanted to share the view from my loo. Sometimes it's beautiful out there. Sometimes it just looks like jail.

I think I've created a new project for myself...muahahaahah!! Maybe I'll post another one later today.

Peace ya'll!

Hi ya'll!!

What a day today. I actually had some N R G and decided to rearrange our room. ALL BY MYSELF. I think that may have a been a little silly on my part. Cuz, now I'm exhausted. We are expecting our bed hopefully tomorrow or Friday. What a relief that will be.

My brain sure is stuck on empty today. I just wanted to say hi and I hope all is well with ya'll!

Peace!
Frannie

Sunday Sunday...

Man, I've been reading a few new blogs lately. Some of them are really interesting. And some, like mine are "fluff". I wonder if people read these because they find other peoples opinions interesting, or just are curious about life in general. I've always been curious about other people's lives. How they live, what they do, who they love.

I've always considered myself a "people" person. All until this whole panic crap started. It's hard to be a people person when your social network consists of your partner, your puppy and your cats. lol.

I've got to have a sense of humor don't I? This is just so silly already. I can't take some days. It's frustrating and upsetting. So what do I do? I take a deep breath and look at the good things in my life. I plant a new seed in the window box and see what grows. ya know? Well, I'm gonna put a couple of new links up to some blogs that I think are fun.

Enjoy! And Thanks for checkin in!

Peace ya'll!!

Bad ME!! !

Well, I've been focused on my other project... paint365.blogspot.com But I thought I might update ya'll on what's going on here. The deathtrap is STILL broken and I have been getting the runaround still from the office about when, where, who and all the flotsum and jetsum of BULLSHIT!!!

So, I have decided that I will call all day everyday and annoy them until the elevator is fixed. Soemthings got to give this is INSANE!! What if something happens to someone on the fourth floor? Are the paramedics gonna really run upstairs with a gurney?? I mean this is a serious risk. I think I'll remind the office. MUAHAHAHAH!! I think they'll just get annoyed with all the calling...what do you think?

Peace ya'll!

DeathTrap Update

Well, I can hardly believe it, but they are workin on the elevator for the second day in a row! I don't want to say, that it could be working soon...because as you all know it's been WELL over a year! BUT they are working on it~!

Supposedly, it will be "done" soon. I don't want to hold my breath...but it sure would be a nice Christmas present.

It's been insane around here without that elevator luggin presents up and down the stairs...and all the groceries....

I'm beginning to lose hope that it will ever be fixed!

Merry Christmas to all and to all....a Gnight!

PEACE!

** OH Christmas Tree **

Where the heck have I been? Crazy....visiting craytown and trying to escape! I can't believe it's December. Where did the year go? Passed me right by! Babies and parties and craziness!

Well hopefully all of you will have a Safe and Happy Holiday. Let's try to be a little nicer, a little more thoughtful, and alot less stressed this year huh?

Merry Christmas Ya'll!

Peace on Earth....Good will toward everyone!

R.I.P. Scraggely Opossum

Taking Katrina to work this morning we stopped for breakfast. Lana was so excited about her bacon. Me and Trink were both achy...too much stress in the house right now. Drivin along in our loaner car, (cuz our car had a total engine meltdown apparently). I turned down the nice quiet street heading to her office...

"donna watch out!!"

"OH MY GOD!!!" screech! Swerve! Crunch crunch....

"I killed him...I killed him!!"

"Donna it's ok...accidents happen. Stupid thing ran into the street..."

I'm in hysterics...I just killed an animal. Sure we joke about roadkill all the time. But I have NEVER been a part of creating it. Ya know? It's traumatising. Suddenly, I felt bad for it's family. Maybe he was just trying to get to work ya know? Minding his business. He didn't look up. I don't think he really knew what hit him. I felt it tho. I took his little life from him. And I feel really bad. What do you do in situations like this? I mean a card isn't really appropriate.

I have to say, I don't ever want to experience anything like that again.

So, little fuzzy, creepy looking thing, I am sorry for what happened today. I didn't mean to hurt you. We are all God's creatures even though we may not always understand each other.

I hope your family wasn't around....

Peace ya'll!!

......five years later.....

I remember sitting at my desk in Fort Lauderdale... and hearing the people around me talking about New York. Hearing something about a plane and buildings. The information was slow in coming....as if no one really new what was going on...

I remember my heart flying into my throat. I remember thinking, the world is going to end. Is this World War 3? Where are they going to attack us next? Then I thought about my sister. She was supposed to fly the next day. To come own here. I called my family in Arkansas. Pop what's going on?

I'm watching the news now...is everyone ok?

Yes, sweetie we're ok, don't worry. i'll keep watching the news and let you know what's going on.

I could hear him trying to tell my grandmother, what had happened. She didn't understand what she was seeing, she thought it was a movie. I remember going downstairs with Cindy to the Progressive lounge and watching the TV to see what happened. Everything was still....so quiet. People were trying to call New York and get in touch with loved ones.

The office stood still trying to make sense of what happened....I got a ride home from my friend. I sat in front of the TV dumbfounded, wondering how something like this could happen. We heard rumors that buses and trains were under attack. Then the 2nd plane hit and it became real that someone was attacking us. Everything that day changed.

Five years later and still we are fighting and not winning, dying and not living....where does it end? When will it end?

Fighting for PEACE really is like screwing for virginity....

PEACE Ya'll! May God Bless the families that have lost so much!
