If any admin or anybody else remembers the infamous Baths vs Showers essay - one of my first posts - I'd greatly appreciate finding it again. I was browsing through my writing blog but haven't found it... but oh, the MEMORIES.

Also, I was really mean back then lol. What a little sh*t

Ahhh my Wordtrip blog. Do you guys realize I've had this blog since 2003??? I remember I started writing on WT while pregnant with my first son. He's 15 years old now. It's crazy. Writing about my experiences helped me so much throughout the years, and I will always be grateful for it. I love my Soa...

I really need a desk. I am currently sitting on my couch/bed propping my laptop up with blankets and my robe... which by all accounts I should be wearing, as I have the window open. It's 32 degrees out. But if I close the window Mark will say the place smells like marijuana which, okay... yes. But I...

I can't sleep. I need a new couch, first of all. This one's starting to sink in places it didn't before and is really not great for sleeping on anymore. It's starting to groan like an elderly person with a bad back. And I know what you're thinking: why not just use the bed? Well, because Mark is in ...

Well, its 2017 everyone, in case you haven't been waiting impatiently and counting down the days until 2016 expired like I was, and didn't notice. Farewell, non-friendly year. Burn like the chaff you are. 2016 was a trainwreck for just about everyone it seems, but I am a bit hopeful for 2017. One of...

Guess what my new job is?? You'll never guess.... Babysitting!! Yeah, I know. In a twist of fate that clearly demonstrates the gods orchestrating this thing have run out of fresh material, my life is on repeat again. Summer job - babysitter. Just like when I was 12. Wanna know how this happened? Wel...

It's almost May and the shelter is about to close for the season. I'm going to miss so much about working here. For one thing, its pretty great working for someone who knows you personally already. Rebekah and Sarah are sisters and my Executive Director and manager. It is a little weird considering ...

So. Much. Crap. There has actually been sooo much that's happened since I last wrote, I don't even know where to begin. So if this particular entry seems more like an unfiltered stream of consciousness... you're right! Congrats on that, and I hope you'll be able to follow. If it starts to get too Fi...

Thanks Jill!

My blog has been spliced as it is 10+ years old, was actually looking to print it out somehow as it recently occurred to me I have some valuable stuff in there. Any suggestions on the best way to do that would be welcome...

Ohhhh my gods I hate everything, I am so depressed. I'm in New England. Everything feels so, SO wrong. Mark and I have been singing the blues ever since we got back. He said he'd never seen anyone so desperate not to go home as I was on our last day. On the plus side, we are seriously moving back. L...

Ahhh peace and quiet. Well, there is a baby here and a 2 year old very sweetly giggling at every little thing, so RELATIVE peace and quiet. 7 people in a 2 bedroom apartment is not ideal. At any point you may abruptly need to drop whatever you're doing and switch gears. This experience has if nothin...

Just as it was starting to get cooler out - here we are in LA. I started my vacation in 90 degree weather and was not optimistic about how this whole thing was unfolding. First, I was not told - possibly deliberately - that Mark's sister's apartment has no air conditioning. That could've been a deal...

Bad day... bad bad bad bad day. Need to rant. Soooo I get out of work, minding my own business, trying to get home before I fall asleep at the wheel. I hit every red light, every traffic jam, every schoolbus had to stop right then and there. But I just let it go, because at least it killed some time...

In a week I go to LA. This will be the first vacation I think I've had in like, 5 years. I mean a real vacation, with shows, theme restaurants, beaches, and a length of time extending beyond a weekend. A whole week. That's madness. It feels so strange. I am ridiculously overdue. My lack of true vaca...

OMG... why is it so HOT still??? I started my new job - well, transfer. It is quite uneventful. I transferred to 3rd shift as a way to de-stress and get my head together while I adapt to my recent move. It has been a bit of an adjustment. Mark and I have lived together before, so in a lot of ways it...

Okay... first of all, I have to say Charlie, the wordtrip makeover is totally freaking me out. Not to say I don't like it - I don't KNOW yet. Because my body feels like it was struck by lightning upon gazing at the page. :shock: Woah. So, what I did on my summer vacation. First some clarification: w...

Wow, already character list time eh? Well, in the short term, without much expansion, I live with 3 other people. I met Nikki at my old job, where I at least felt we bonded instantly. Of course everything is very different lately. I was also like, madly in love with her the first time I caught sight...

You should be seeing something posted soon in the Writing Blog :wink: The other night I couldn't sleep. It was worse than the usual insomnia, and continues to be a problem. But that night, I was scheduled for a double shift at my new job, and lack of sleep and a schedule like that usually translates...

:oops: Wow, thanks... and actually I think you have inspired me... I even started re-reading some old stuff... its alot of bad writing but there are a few gems. Kind of depressing blog though, and the ending I think would have to be fiction, because I don't have my happy ending yet in real life. 1. ...

I should actually work on that this summer. It has occurred to me that this blog could be a useful template. Although honestly, I rarely re-read what I write in this thing. Its like watching the car crash over, and over, and over... I have to turn away. On THAT note, who wants to hear the story of f...

Well, its been quite the busy couple months. So I quit my job, which was a little sad considering I really liked alot of people there. I tried to stick it out for awhile but then I had to say to myself, Del let's be real. You don't have a ton of expenses, you hate the nature of your job here, and ev...

TWO THINGS: 1. I hate autocorrect. I used to know how to spell. Now I start to type the first 3 letters of a word and forget everything. 2. I can't deal. I have so many thoughts and noises in my head I'm just gonna try to keep it simple here. My top ten has dwindled at work. #1 left so there's hardl...

Today will be the first day of my new classes. Thank gods... I am in need of a distraction. A change of scenery should help with that. I have to psych myself up for this. Because I'm not really sure what the class entails, I don't know where to go for the classroom, I'm afraid I'm gonna be stuck in ...

OMG. So much drama. Sapphic drama. My ex girlfriend is breaking up with me in the morning. Well, later in the morning. Confused? Well, you kinda had to be there. We've been having problems. For a few months actually, steadily getting worse as time went on. It always starts the same way. There's the ...
