Last night was a nightmare. No, I didn’t have bad dreams, I mean that it was literally a nightmare of a night. We went to bed around 1:30 and almost the second I laid down, I got a headache. I don’t know how those suckers come on so quickly and without warning some times, but it was a bitch of one and it hurt like hell. G spread some stuff called “Blue Oil” on my head and face. I got it from Aveda and it’s basically peppermint oil and is supposed to help with headaches. Maybe he put too much…

I have been stressing myself out way too much lately. The pressure of the upcoming National conference has been mounting and I’ve got so much still to do in the two weeks left before I leave. But the problem is that the more stressed I allow myself to feel, the less I get done. There has to be a delicate balance here. I really have pushed myself over the past few months and have gotten a lot done, but it’s still not where I wanted or planned to be. The trap I can’t let myself fall into is freaking out…

I honestly can hardly believe it. I know I have said before on this blog that I sometimes don’t understand why celebrity deaths even matter to me, but they do. And this one in particular. I posted this picture also because that is how I remember him most from my childhood. Michael Jackson was a man who shaped the music and dance of an entire generation… and beyond. His movements were liquid – smooth, flowing and so fast and fluid. He was the definition of “cool” and “smooth” to me growing up. My sister and I had the original ‘Thriller’…

I hate not sleeping well. Not that there’s probably anyone who says, man, I love it when I don’t sleep well, but you know what I’m saying. Last night, I just tossed and turned for hours, and when I finally fell asleep, I had nightmares. I don’t remember everything about my bad dreams, but I know that I was trapped in a building that I could get out of with people following me and trying to catch me. It was not a fun night. So how do you recover from a poor night’s sleep? Is there really any good way?…

Okay, so it was their surrogate who had them, technically, but either way the twin girls are here and they are healthy! I can’t wait to see pictures! Born at 3:58 p.m., Marion Loretta Elwell weighed 5 lbs., 11 oz, and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 lbs. People.com reported the above statement. It doesn’t say if the twins will just be called Marion and Tabitha, but I have to say that I love the name Tabitha. I am very happy for them, and I know that SJP is going to be the most fabulous mom to twin girls!!! I rarely…

I haven’t been able to bring myself to read all the details about the crash that killed at least seven people yesterday during rush hour. Maybe this event hits home more because in just 20 days, I’ll actually be in D.C., probably using the Metro myself. How does something like this happen? Aren’t there sensors and things that are supposed to prevent something like this? Two trains on the same track during rush hour. One train was just sitting there, not moving, and the other came up on it. It hit so hard that the compartment of the train was…
