What would you like to write about today?

I just returned from a long weekend in the city. Had the chance to visit my childhood neighborhoods, my father's childhood neighborhoods, ground zero, and tons more. Stayed at Times Square and walked forever along the city streets. Had a wonderful time...guess that's what the topic of my day would be for sure.

Today is Mother's Day. I went to church and the pastor had a good sermon about appreciating your Mom. I am awaiting the Proverb 31 day when: "Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." My son played soccer. Soccer dose not stop even for Mother's Day.  My mother-in-law and brother-in-law came over. We went out for dinner at my favorite restaurant and came back to our house for dessert. I then went to my girlfriend's to watch Six Feet Under. I am addicted to the show.

This morning? The joys of sleeping in, which is not an option for me today.

I would like to write today in regard to raising children and parents and how they effect our lives by what they do when we are little. Though it is our decision to be what we want when we become of age.

I'd like to write about myself. I'd like to work on the novel I started last year for NaNoWriMo, and incorporate the autobiographical parts of my life these past few months. I want to document things. I want to write another e-mail to my boyfriend and tell him how much I love him. I want  everyone to know who I am and why I'm here.

I've been wondering lately what happened in Talia's life to cause her to be so down on herself and on life in general. Her answers didn't used to sound so angry and disgusted a couple years ago. I feel bad for her and hope she can overcome this 'phase' she's going through.

i would like to write about a certain pump jockey i met filling my gas tank this afternoon. he was fat and someone threatened him because they didn't want to pay. the pump jockey held his own and threatened to call the police. i paid and was gone before the end of that, so i don't know what happened.

well, since you asked, I saw a car accident this morning. Lady a few cars in front of me went round a corner a bit too fast for the conditions, skided into a fence, and the back of the car spun round accross the whole road. She was fine, but shaken, as far as I could see... I didn't get out, cause there were already about 5 people helping her, and I didn't want to crowd her, but I know I'll be worrying about her for the rest of the day now.

also, someone should teach ducks the green cross code. Some ran out in front of my car this morning without looking. Good thing I was going slowly realy!

In general, I'd love to be able to work on my story.. It seems as though my muse has left me, and gone to Jamaica...

I'd like to write about my Mom and Dad. Growing up, before high school, I thought my parents were great. They weren't too strict, but they weren't always nice. Then, in high school and into college, we had our differences. I felt they were trying to keep me down, not being supportive. Now, I realize how wrong I was. They have always been there for me. They have always supported me and guided me. They have helped me more times than I can count and have gone above and beyond what should be expected of parents. Because of them, I am now trying to be as good a parent as they were. I have a lot of work to do, but I have a great model to learn from. Thank you, Mom and Dad. I love you.

Hmmm. Good question. By profession and by habit I like to call  myself a writer. I'll be involved with this script reading thing on the 30th so if anyone's in Toronto and is currious about my stuff, your welcome to drop by. I have a few ideas for new scripts right now and some older stuff I'm working through. But with the long week-end comes the working season -- the season all of us who live in tourist towns equally love and loathe. With having a regular job I never get any writing done. But I will get to see some old friends, go to some  concerts and maybe, just maybe re-unite with a beautiful boy I only see for three months every year.

I am so overextended lately that I feel like I rarely have time to myself. Yesterday was an exception. I spent the afternoon working on my garden. I put together two raised bed frames and got the soil ready for planting. I did a little clean up work in the yard, too. I wish I had more time for that.

My family. The most important people in the world. My husband is wonderful, my kids have all turned into terrific adults, and my grandkids are adorable. What more could I want?

Well, i'd like to write about everything I'm thinking at this moment in time. Here goes: My stomach hurts, I think it's my nerves. I do not want to be at work right now. I really need to get ahold of someone and buy some more weed. I'm totally out. I wish that freakin switchboard would stop ringing. I feel like getting high and going to the park to sit and watch the squirrels play. I don't feel too wonderful today. I had a really cool dream last night. It's noisy in here. I wish there were more vegan restaurants around here. I'm glad I don't smoke cigarettes. They stink and when you get old you sound terrible. I hope Jesus comes before I get sick and old. I really want to get out of this office. I could really go for a cold Cola right now, but they are so full of sugar. I hope I can lose another 15 pounds. I think a great invention would be a noiseless vacuum cleaner. They make so much noise. They scare my cat to death. I hope I get some mail today. I love to get real mail from the USPS. And packages..mysterious packages are so cool. I wish everyone would stop wearing leather. It stinks, it's wrong, it's dead. It smells like someone peed on cedar wood. I wish I was a singer for a local band. That would be fun. I like the people in my city. Most of them anyway. Well, if I keep droning on, no one will read  this. I better stop.
