we were sitting in the drive-thru of taco johns (because they have the best bean burritos of all [read both] fast food mexican places in town):
“oh, i’m so hot,” sister #4 said. “can’t you turn on the air?”
“no, feel free to roll down that window next to you.”
“what?”
“roll down the window.”
“how?”
“with that little handle right [...]

sister #4 and i were sitting in parentland watching Real Women Have Curves (which you should all see pronto because it’s really damn cute) when this little exchange occurred:
“oh look,” she said, “it’s a Mariucci band.”
“a what?”
“yeah, i was hoping you wouldn’t catch that. i meant to say Mariachi Band but the hockey arena [...]

here’s a little tip, the surest way to get me to do something is to tell me not to do it.
i went and got my hair cut and colored today. i had this beautiful little haircutting nymph. i think she might have been all of 19. i told her i wanted me some red hair. [...]

bonny and kevin seem to think i’m unhappy.
but they’re wrong. i am happy. just because i get down or angry or lonely or scared or sad or stressed out or any number of the 4 million emotions that flit through me, doesn’t mean i’m unhappy.
i’m smart, i can walk, i can talk, i can [...]

i think our little moodswinger is growing up. tonight, instead of allowing myself to fall into a self-pitying funk, i decided to think for a minute or two. of course, i can make no promises that this will become a regular occurance on iwilldare.com. but hey, it’s a start.

After finishing my fettuccini and my �Adaptation,� I was going to sit down to pout. I was going to pout about being lonely and sad. I was going to pout about wanting and aching. And, of course, I was gonna pout about the former-outlaw and how much my heart aches.
But, before my fingers even hit [...]

i called the salon this morning to change my haircut appointment. since sister #2 can’t make it, i’m just gonna go by myself.
“so, do you have a preferred stylist?” the haircutter appointment maker asked.
“i did, but since mary’s not there anymore, i guess not.”
“oh.”
it made me feel a little bit better.

the menu for tonight:
chicken fettuccini alfredo with fresh garlic and red and green peppers
green salad
italian bread
Brownie Turtle Sundae and a viewing of adaptation.
what time will you be here?

sister #2 made me list I Will Dare on BlogShares. she’s currently obsessed with the game. apparently my stock is climbing. apparently i’m supposed to gift her a bunch of shares. i have no idea how to play the game and really have no interest.
“you should issue more shares.”
“um, ok. how many?”
“well, you don’t [...]

I know, I know. I’ve been utterly remiss in promoting this year. But, I feel it is my duty, to remind you that there are only 15 days until my birthday. 15 DAYS!! Don’t panic, there is still plenty of time.

i slept for like six hours in a row last night and was rewarded by a slew of weird dreams.
first, i dreamt that i was arrested for throwing away 100s of pounds of dog poop into someone’s dumpster. i can’t remember why it was so bad, it just was. the cop came to my house [...]

today was a day of loss. today not only did a friend of mine get let go from his job, but we lost a very important member of the iwilldare.com community. ok, well a very important member of my community. she doesn’t even know about iwilldare.com
after answering 394 e-mails today, i dialed up the hairsalon [...]
