Staples and other stuff
Taking baby girl to the vet tomorrow to get her staples out.
Had a phone iview today with a bank. Sounds promising :). They told me what to expect for next steps which is always a good sign.
Got a request for my salary requirements from a company I iviewed with last week. I am thinking that it's a very good sign :) yay!!!

9-11
So today is 11 years after the World Trade Centers fell. It has been a sad day for me, sadder than last year for some reason. A lot has changed in 11 years. I remember this day for a lot of reasons.
At the time I lived in LA with my fiancé. He woke me up to watch the news and i remember being on the phone with my sister watching as the second tower fell. I couldn't breath or speak.
Eventually I got dressed and went to work. I remember sitting at my desk and calling my Mother who was crying when she told me my aunt, Sonia Mercedes Puopolo Morales, was in one of the planes. I didn't know that the plane I watched hit the second tower had my aunt in it.
I remember leaving work and going home. I somehow was put in contact with my cousin in LA and I went to his house. His mother was in that plane. We cried and cried and waited for word. Eventually a motor home was rented and stocked to take us back home to be with our families.
I remember i had left my license at my apt in my haste to get to my cousin and called my fiancé to bring it to me so we could leave. He wouldn't. He tried to forbid me from going to my family in our hour of need. What a dick.
He fought me the whole time I was gone. What a dick.
I didn't care, my family was more important than him so of course i went. We had drivers driving round the clock only stopping for gas until we got to Boston. My cousin was going to his family so he dropped me at a rest area and my other cousins picked me up. I haven't seen or spoken to my cousin since he dropped me off.
Every anniversary we remember. We remember different things i am sure but for me, I remember what a positive woman my aunt was. She helped me immensely when I was in college and encouraged me to fulfill my dreams. I don't think I wound be where I am today without her help.
Tonight I think of her. Pray for her. Pray for her children and hope the country heals.
Rest in Peace Titi Sonia, I will never forget.

Getting better and other stuff
Diamond is getting stronger everyday :). So thankful!
I had a job interview last week. I think the job would be interesting and lucrative but I don't know why I feel so nah about it. I need a new job because I'm seriously underpaid and I need to pay my friend back for paying for Diamonds surgery. Sigh.

Online dating
Ok so I'm looking for a bf. I am mid 40s and rarely go out bar hopping, i work for a software conglomerate filled with fugly, hairy geeks so I decided to try online dating.
Now I ask you, what possesses a man--a grown man, to take a picture of his erect junk and text it to someone he does not know and has never met??!? What the hell is WRONG with them?!???!
I have shared these pics with my friends and have contemplated writing a (very short) book about it... Maybe I will

First time blogging
I thought I'd write a blog because I have stuff to say and I always thought I'd be a writer...well that and an attorney and a judge... its all random stuff just whatever comes to me
The past few days have been incredibly stressful. I have a dog named Diamond who I've had for about seven years. I adopted Diamond in Clearwater, Florida when I lived there. Anyway, a few months ago I went on vacation and left Diamond with a friend. When I got back she had a cough. I thought maybe she had inhaled some fur or something because my friend has a German Shephard which according to my brother who has always had German Shephards, they are fur factories. The cough persisted and then one day I was giving her hugs and she coughed a bloody snot on my sweater (I got rid of it after that-the sweater, not the dog). Now that concerned me. I gave it time, a few more months then when it became clear that the cough wasn't going away I brought her to the vet. The vet took xrays which showed a mass on her lungs. They prescribed a bunch of meds but the cough didn't go away. We then sent the xrays to a radiologist who said that it looked like the mass was getting bigger. So I went to a surgeon in SF and she suggested surgery. I asked my friend to come with me, the one who watches Diamond when I go on vacation, because when the doctors say words like "tumor" or "cancer" I don't hear anything else. So my friend was going to be my ears and listen and ask questions I don't think of. She happily agreed.
So the very next day we delivered Diamond to the surgeon who said that she'd walk out of there the next day. I was scared shitless. I need my baby. We call this dog the Million Dollar Dog because over the years she has gone through windows, was allergic to food and grass and air, I had to put her in daycare for an entire year at 100 a week! I've paid for Rekki, a doggie psychologist, cooked her food from scratch, bought her prescription food, I mean she was on sale when i bought her at the humane society but that was the last break I got. Anyways, whenever a doctor says you'll "walk" within any specific time, don't believe it. she was supposed to walk out the next day. did she? no. like 6 days later! but finally I have her home and she's doing well although being a bit of a wuss.
