I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT GOODBYES...

This part of "Already Gone" by Sugarland has been making me cry my face off lately:

The last time I saw him we packed up my things
And he smiled like the first time he told me his name
And we cried with each other
We split the blame for the parts
That we couldn't change

Pictures, dishes and socks
It's our whole life
Down to one box
There he was waving goodbye on the front porch alone

But I was already gone
I was already gone

BLURB

I discovered a site called blurb.com.

I highly suggest that if you are interested in writing a book you check it out.

They allow you to download a free application to create a book and then you upload it, pay for the print and they send you your book in the mail.

I just wrote a book for a very special occasion coming up and after a few minor glitches, that turned out to be my fault, my book is being created as we speak.

TYRA BANKS IS OUT OF HER DAMN MIND

Tyra Banks.

Oh, where to begin...


Sometimes models should just stay models.

I'll let these clips from The Soup speak for themselves:

BIG GIRL BED

I had to beat into submission a big girl bedroom set for Reagan yesterday. It's been a long time coming. She's been sleeping in our bed for a while now and I finally decided that it was time for a change.

I left the house last night and when I got back, Ben had put her to sleep in her bed, and she was still there. After falling out twice and throwing a fit, she finally settled down and slept there until 5AM this morning. Not too bad for the first night.

I think I had a rougher go of it than she did. I missed her goofy little feet kicking me all night. Of course it is an Elmo bedroom set. God forbid I would have tried to introduce anything else. If you're curious to see what it looks like, Click here.

TO MY MARIE

Dear Marie,

We have been friends for many moons now. We have chased bunnies in your backyard, started an Oprah fan club, designed iron on spandex wear and have developed a silent laugh that has been known to cause pant pissage. We lost touch, got back in touch and were able to pick up like no time had passed at all. You know more about me than anyone on the face of the earth and you "get" me, when no one else does. We have a sixth sense about each other's moods and quite possibly have ESPN when it comes to one another.

You may not be my oldest friend, but you are certainly my closest. (Are you tearing up yet you old sap?)

You will be getting married in a few weeks and your life will be over...LOL...

No...seriously. You will be getting married in a few weeks and if I were able to be there I would have said all the things mentioned above.

The greatest thing about a friendship like ours is that no matter where life takes us we will always know where to turn when times are good or when they aren't so good. When you need a laugh, you know I'll be here, and if you need to cry, I'll say something to make it better and if you just need an ear, I won't say anything at all.

I love you hidey. (our nickname for each other)

I can't wait to see you next week. How blessed am I to be able to jump on a plane and be there for you on the day of your bridal shower? How blessed are you to be graced with my presence...HA!

That's all...

I think Aislyn and I had the same stylist back in '83.

DISGUSTED

I am thoroughly disgusted that the state of California passed the ban on gay marriage.

We just elected the first African American President. We've come so far in so many ways as a country. To think that some can't still accept that love had no boundaries is astonishing to me.

BARACKED!

It's official. Barack Obama is the new President of the United States.

I am proud of our country. I am proud to be part of a nation that can come from a point where African Americans weren't able to vote, to a place where we can see past color and elect the right man for the highest position in the land.

John McCain...I saw the old John McCain tonight when he congratulated Obama on the win. I saw a man who is proud of this country and will respect his President, even if it meant losing to him.

We need to come together as a country. The division that an election causes has to be overcome. We are ONE nation, one people and we have a chance to turn all of the current issues holding us back around.

WE NEED TO GET ALONG PEOPLE...

I am proud, I say it again....damn proud!
