So I mentioned almost two weeks ago (the last time I blogged, actually): my grandpa passed away on February 6th. It's been very difficult to get through it - my grandparents and I have had a very special relationship from Day One. Fortunately, the funeral events are finally over with.

My husband always tells me that I look at the negative side of things. My response is typically "well, what positives can YOU find?!" - but then I invariably go back into the deep caverns of my self-conscious brain and wonder if that's really true.

I like my father, he's kind of cool when he's not getting all preachy on me about how I'm going to hell and need to stop… Continue reading People I Do Not Like In My Community
Of course by "back to reality" I mean that I am a rampant bitch again.
