You would think that at some point, an adult would grow out of nightmares. I mean, aren’t I supposed to be of age to help a child through the night? Or maybe you don’t stop having nightmares until you actually have a child to pass them on to. There’s a scary thought. I certainly don’t want to pass this down to a defenseless child. I hate nightmares. I kept waking up throughout the night, the back of my hair sweaty even though the room was cool. No matter how I positioned my body, I could not get comfortable, and when…

**Update on this is that I received an email from L and he is doing fine. He worked with one of the guys who died, Steve, and says that he was a great person who will be missed.** I read this story on CNN this morning and my heart stopped for a moment. Specifically when I read this part: The embassy official said the American civilians include “a direct hire civilian employee of the Department of State and a Department of Defense civilian employee.” My ex-boyfriend L is an American civilian working at the Embassy there. I am not sure…

So I have been searching around the net, looking for different ways to make money online. I haven’t really found anything amazing, but last week I did find something interesting. MyLot. It’s basically a forum for discussion about anything you can imagine. One person just posts a question or starts a discussion and others from the community respond or give advice. The cool thing about it is that you get paid to post. Okay, so it’s not a million dollar money maker, but you can make a few cents every time you post, which adds up over time. I have…

I have mentioned several times before that G and I have been playing Everquest 2 for a few years. It’s an MMO with its own economy and rules and adventures. I honestly never thought I would be the type of person who would enjoy playing a game online, but the truth is, it’s very addictive. My ex-husband J is the one who first introduced me to Everquest, the original one, which we played for about a year. Then, when Everquest 2 came out almost 4 years ago, I started playing it almost right away. Over the years, I met a…

When I got to Georgia, I went to see my brother D and his new wife, and I found out some exciting news. They are going to have a baby!! She is already seven weeks along now, and I even got to see the ultrasound pictures and the heartbeat of the baby. I am going to be an Aunt! It won’t be my first time as an Aunt because my sister already has a three year old, but it’s still very exciting. I never in a million years thought that my little brother, who is five years younger than me,…

Tomorrow I will be on the road all day again. I am heading back to Georgia to see my Dad for Father’s Day. Also, I am doing a yard sale with my Mom and my new sister-in-law. My big hope for the weekend is to get down to just one storage unit in Georgia. There is just so much crap involved in a divorce. Here I am a full year later and I still have two storage buildings full of shit we collected or were given. I despise even thinking the word “we” about him anymore. I have worked so…
