Old News (The Unbearable Lightness Of Blogging)

I'm not sure what reminded me of this, exactly. I guess it was from visiting the zoo over the weekend. At any rate: Several years ago, my brothers and I went on a camping trip with my father (who was then still alive). The first couple days were more or less uneventful. On the third morning,...

Soooo, last night, our entire family stayed up into the wee hours to watch the first Easter mass lead by the new Pope, Benedict? (not sure what number). He's really creepy looking, btw. I'll bet he's the first Pope ever who actually gives small children nightmares. I mean, I'm sure he's a nice guy... Sign in to see full entry.

My friends and I went to the animal sanctuary in New Jersey. Below are some of the "highlights". And yes, I'm aware I suck at photo taking. Though, in my defense, there were a couple of jerks constantly trying to make me mess up. (In fact, at some point, I will post a second set of pics entitled... Sign in to see full entry.

An unfortunate situation arose, however, which ultimately prevented me from posting anything... Sign in to see full entry.

I was still up (watching "The Cosby Show"), however, soon became so focused on covering my ears to avoid... Sign in to see full entry.

Soooo, I'm driving home tonight and as I turn down my street, I'm instantly struck by the intense glare of flashing red lights coupled with the occasional blare of sirens. Two police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance are all lined up outside the house of my closest neighbor, Mrs. Schumacher. Now,... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, there's a new man in my life. It wasn't as if I planned it or anything; I mean, I certainly didn't want it to happen. I simply couldn't resist. It was total "love at first sight". I just hope my boyfriend will understand: PRINCE Species: African Clawed Frog Size: 6 inches Diet: guppies,... Sign in to see full entry.
