A New Start

I have deleted all the entries up to now and am starting over. I started this blog to confront some grabbos, and I have done that. Now, I have decided that the best way for me to stop the grabbos is to, well, get over it. I have spent my entire life waiting. Waiting for the end, waiting to be recognized as a valued member of my family, waiting to write, waiting to live.

When I wrote about my past, I was able to see it a bit clearer and am seriously dealing with it now.

That is why I deleted my old entries. I might, later on, repost some of them. Maybe even all of them.

So, since this is the first day of the....................well, you know. Another phrase I detest, by the way. It is so over used now that I cannot stand to hear it. I think that when people use phrases like this, they are being lazy. Too lazy to think. Anyway, here we go..............


It is May 31, 2005. The boys and Connie are back in school and at work.....I love them, but I also love my alone time. I have been reading some entries on the writer's board I just joined and will try to comment on them soon. I think though, I will make June 1st, the official start to my comments.

I am still in Michigan and cannot wait to get home. Actually, I can't wait to get started on my summer plans. I was going to volunteer for a dig in Maine, but will not be able to give it the time it needs. So, I am just going to drive to Maine and stop along the way at different sites to hunt for rocks and fossils. I think there is a place in West Virginia where you can look for rubies. I may do that.

Yesterday was Memorial Day and once again I backed out of going to one of the exjw meet-ups. One day I will either go to one or will figure out why I keep backing out. Connie cooked ribs and burgers and the boys had friends over. And, Jackie was here of course. Jackie is short for jackass, the name I have given Connie's husband. If she was going to marry an idiot, she could have married a southern one, so it wouldn't take me two days to get here to help her. He has moved out, but still is here a lot. Oh well.

I am going to keep writing my fiction too. I am finally ready to so this. I know I will get a big dose of 'who do you think you are', but I am going to fight it this time instead of giving in.

Ok, enough for now.........
