What the FUCK is wrong with me? A nun posted an encouraging post on my husband's Facebook status and I felt jealousy. A nun!!! I had to go check her page to make sure she really was a nun.I feel so insecure in our relationship. I want so much to feel intimate and connected with him. I want our conversations to be free and easy, spontaneous instead of guarded. It's like we've knitted so much

Last night was really bad. You were so angry, really really angry. I just let you stew in the hopes you'd work through whatever you were upset about. You went and took a long nap and seemed okay when you came back down. You even leaned over and kissed me. I thought that was nice. Then you watched the WVU-Clemson game and used the laptop as well as IMing whoever was on Facebook chat. Suddenly, you

I am so tired of trying to please you. This has been the stupidest thing I've ever done, is to try and please somebody else. I know better, too. I feel as though I bend over backwards, constantly, trying to please you, and you don't acknowledge it (or see it). You decide what will be on TV, how loud it will be, when you will change it in mid-show or song -- never mind who else is watching or

I am a small, small person. Almost a year ago, we (read: my husband) loaned a friend of ours (read: mostly his and mine only by default despite my efforts to expand the relationship) over $1500. She promised she would repay us by the end of the year. Well, the end of the year is here and not a cent has been repaid. She has "no money." Where is she now? At the beach. On vacation.

You can't seem to share things with me. I don't mean food, etc., I mean experiences. You send me links to the music you're listening to, and I stop and listen to them and reply to you what I think. So I send you links. You ignore my links and continue listening to your songs and sending more links. What's with that?!?The one thing that upsets me most is we don't seem to connect. I am desperate to

I sometimes wonder how much pain one person can survive. I guess it's way more than I realize. Or want to.I can't even go into details; I'm just too drained. Why does Love have to hurt so much?!?

I am so incredibly lonely. I hate the distance between us. I try repeatedly to connect with you, and my efforts fall flat. Repeatedly. You always ask for examples, and I can never think of one. So I'll write one down and maybe I will remember it when you ask.Yesterday, I found that BBC video about Christ and Buddhism. It was so fascinating to me, and I wanted to share it with you. Eventually, you

Since nobody reads this blog anyway, I decided today to use it to vent my frustrations. Who knows? Maybe someday it'll be amusing to look back on from prison after I've been convicted of murder. J/KMr. Chandler spent the entire day watching episode after episode of "Band of Brothers." Now, I'm not picky; I can handle a few hours of mindnumbing, uninteresting television shows.

A dear friend of mine, Joy Lackey, recently announced her first novel's debut: "The Ghosts On Buffalo Creek." Joy's novel won first place in West Virginia Writers Competition. It's a bargain, folks -- $12.26 includes the book, S/H, and sales tax. Please honor Joy and those who died at Buffalo Creek as well as those who survive.

I discovered Haunted Memories portraits after clicking a link at The Horror Channel’s web site. I’m a huge fan of ancestral photographs and collect old portraits that I pick up for pennies at yard sales and at thrift stores. I’m the family’s official Keeper of the Photographs, so the first time I found Eddie Allen’s Haunted Memories site, I cruised around for over an hour.Haunted Memories

Here's something just for fun in honor of St. Patrick's Day. ~~CCA year ago I discovered a rotten banana in the cat food container. The children threw up their hands. “We don’t know how it got there, Mom.” My husband scratched his head. “Sure beats me.” The cats lack opposable thumbs so I knew they were innocent. At the time I figured the banana was due to gorillas in our midst, planning to take

Every action, reaction and non-action that has taken place, is taking place, or ever will take place. Time exists only as a concept devised by mankind, to serve mankind. It’s a tool much like a yardstick, created to help us
