    August 19, 2010 by shishnit

    i had a dream about my tiny house last night 

    i was married and lived in it with my husband 

    and he let me build an extra room for my books 

    with a blank wall for a projector screen, so we could watch movies 

    it was lovely

  2. love

    August 14, 2010 by shishnit

    The last few weeks have been miserable in many many ways.  That would explain my absent blog activity.  I’ve had little good to say so I’ve chosen to say nothing. It’s not that anything is all that bad…just that everything that could go wrong seems to have.  Things appear to be turning around so onto something new.

    Facebook…it’s been both miserable, funny and yet so amazing.  One of my sister’s twin daughter’s Rena surprised me with a friend request.  It’s been a few weeks now and I’m getting to know her and her sister now that they are old enough to communicate for themselves from afar.  I haven’t talked to them about the “family situation” but rather I’ve talked to them…for them…..and it’s opened an attic door in my heart…a slow creak…..they are both so lovely….so different and yet both so friendly and happy and that makes my heart soar with happiness. Of course shortly after Rena made that first contact I got a friend request from Leah as well.  Rena is a smartie pants (like me) and Leah likes to….*drum roll please*  READ BOOKS!!! (hmm also like me..lol as if I had to tell you that, but my sister hates to read…so perhaps she got that trait from me?).  This is uber surprising and cute to me since my sister is neither of those things.  My sister is dry and often does not get my witty humour and I often have told her “please forward my email to my funny sister and have her write back”.  I do not have a funny sister. 

    But the fact remains that I have always had two bright and very capable and lovely neices but NOW having an opportunity to know them……well it makes some of the fractures in my heart….well they are healing over with that one action on Rena’s part….and she has no real clue.  I’m just sitting back getting to know them and giggling over their young girl teenage hilarity.  Tomorrow is their birthday, they’re turning 15.  God, I’m so glad you didn’t let me miss it all…..  They are also now facebook friends of Keith’s….which really just almost makes me cry it’s so sweet.  Rena is named after my lovely grandmother for whom I often blog about and for who is doing quite well despite losing her sister recently, my Aunt Julia.

  3. De-friend!

    August 12, 2010 by shishnit

    A few months ago I began this big journey of hunting down every single guy I ever knew or dated etc. mostly on facebook, becasue it’s just one click curosity.  It’s been a somewhat awful journey, like a bad car wreck I cannot look away from.  But I just had to share this:

    So, I contacted this one guy who was never technically a boyfriend but we did go to high school together.  He was the first guy who french kissed me.  I contact him..he accepts my friend request and 4 months go by.  Then one day

    Brian: Can I get your maiden name perhaps?

    Me: yah sure, it’s **********, I contacted you because you were the first boy I ever kissed.  You probably know my sister Tracy too!

    Brian: Yah I kissed her too.
