Volcanic Sacrifices: technical difficulties

i am so sorry. i have not blogged in, what seems like, forever. but i've been having technical difficulties. both technological & individual.

technological - have you noticed just how much blogger sucks lately? its always got a problem. there is always something wrong. i swear to god, blogger reminds me of my father some days.....always some new ailment, always some new affliction. i wonder if its a hypochondriac like dad is??

sorry dad.

its been so bad, people are fleeing....like rats from a sinking ship. (and on a side note.....guess who's jumping soon??? more on that and the NEW home (and ideas) for 'The New Volcanic Sacrifices'....coming up this week!) speaking of.....have you checked out DC's new digs?? can we all say, "nice"?? lol!!

individual - this has been a mixed emotion week. Saturday was the surprise baby shower for my best friend, tanya (who i'm dropping massive hints about being godmommy about...lol!). she's having a little girl. we're so excited.

well....anywho, i get a call Saturday morning. from my twin, chris. uncle bob passed away. and its so very sad. i only knew him briefly, but he was such a wonderful man. so kind & gentle.

its always sad when beloved family members pass on. but its mixed emotions when they were so sick, there really was no quality of life. and now, we all know that he's not in pain or sick anymore. my heart aches for my twin. she loved him so. and she's already endured so much since jerold passed too.

and to add insult to injury, her grandmother (uncle bob's mom) isn't doing so hot either. she's ready to go to the great beyond now too. so, right now i'm just praying that my twin can make it through the next few weeks. she's an amazing woman, but has an incredible vulnerable side that not many know. and this is going to be so very hard for her. so very hard. i'm thinkin' about ya twin!! xoxoxo!!

yesterday....i had yet another, in another long line of, fight with you know who. it seems like he actually gets off making me miserable. i swear....one of these days i'm going to snap. and you're going to read about some psychotic woman in pico rivera, california....who went beserk & mutilated her ex-husband. i'm not kidding here, folks. he's a looney & he's going to pitch me off the deep end one of these days.....

thank god we're moving soon.

and today.....well.....its the 36th birthday of my beloved henry. well, would have been his 36th birthday. and its just made me unbelievably sad. i miss him more that i realized. we didn't talk all that often since i moved out here, but when we did, it was like time hadn't even passed a moment between us.

and its so very sad. he was so young. and he was my confidant, co-conspirator, party pal....friend. and now he's gone. and today.....wow. i miss him.

on another note, since i've been absent, we had my favorite activity. Thursday thirteen! and i'm so very sorry i didn't visit anyone. i suck....i know.

many, MANY thanks to my friends who came to see me.....
