Facebook, Blogs, & No Time

February 20, 2009 at 10:19 pm · Filed under Dead Dad, Institutionalize Me Now

I joined Facebook.  Yep.  And I’ve neglected these blogs.  Yep.  Are the two related?  I think most likely.

Anyway, that’s not what I’m here to say.  Just a few thoughts to leave you with as I am not sure when I’ll be back.  I never do!

1.  My dad’s 55th birthday is tomorrow.  Only, he’s been dead for 3½.  Still … I plan to celebrate.  And cry.  Honor his legacy by making sure you are a registered organ donor.

2.  I rearranged furniture in my living room!  Remember what it looked like back in September-ish? 

Living Conditions

It now looks like this:

Rearranged

3.  In order to acheive such a look, I first had to do this:

Unexplained Wires of Technology

 

 

 

Man, oh man … this is SO not the same thing as untangling necklace chains.  I plan to simplify our lives my life by cancelling our DishNetwork … after this season of Lost is completed, that is.  (Chad made me promise.  Big baby.)  I can not STAND that mass of wires that is most likely an enormous fire hazzard!  Enough already! 

 

 

 

4.  We leave for Guatemala in 13 weeks.  Umm … what?!

Must Read

February 20, 2009 at 12:59 pm · Filed under Good Reads, Medicine

Friends, you MUST read this latest book I plowed through yesterday.

It’s called Still Alice by Lisa Genova and it is BRILLIANT. (The Short & Sweet of it is: The main character is diagnosed at age 50 with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease and you journey with her.)

I cannot say enough about this book. Please, please check it out from you library and spend some time with it. I whole-heartedly agree with author Julia Fox Garrison as she writes, “It will inform you. It will scare you. It will change you. You owe it to you and your loved ones to read this book.”

Now GO! Check it out from the library.

PS –>  If you do actually go and read this book, drop me a comment and we can discuss or something.  I’d love to hear others’ thoughts.
