I am sure that was NOT the end. There was at least one GODDAMMIT! after that.
June brings good things to life
I only have 10 minutes while my root dye sets in--I'm trying to do things like my own roots to save money since this move. Although we'll be RICH soon, because we're saving so much living here together, at first I have laid out what the official money people call a shitload of cash. I also waite...
Do you have an acupuncture therapist for animals in the area? My Zoe's oncologist does it. Works wonders. Great news.
And terribly cute kitchen, Joob.
By the way, I've posted TWICE from my phone yesterday and they never showed up here.
The kitchen's done! We're gonna leave it exactly like this forever. It's sort of a hoarder look. At work. Have to go. Tell more later.
Go home, Lily! Quit being such a boob.
Possible Lily sighting!
Yesterday, one of the readers of this stupid blog wrote me. She's an animal communicator, and wondered if I had any blue-gray houses that were two stories tall in my neighborhood. There's really only one two-story house in my neighborhood, because all of these houses were built in 1950 and they'...
Oh, honey. Latex is water based. You will be fine.
And GODDAMMIT. I wanted to see the fireflies. We've had quite a lot this year, but none that lit up the joint.
June blogs from her phone again. In unrelated news, it sucks.
Well, Ned and I finished our many painful tasks this weekend. I painted the concrete floor, which I will take a picture of, calm down, as soon as I can. It's night now and the pictures won't turn out with this lack-of-flashbulb cell phone. Could I have a more first-world problem? I am still bl...
The Eiffel Tower
Okay, so that night, Nay and I got out into the city and went to see the Eiffel Tower , er Empire State Building. I do not know why I called that building that, but every time I opened my... Continue reading

Things I'm Doing on My Summer Vacation
Week before last, my friend, Nay Nay, whom I have not seen in like, ten years (!) texted me to see if I were up for a girls weekend in NYC. And I said, "YES!" Her stepson nad his pretty... Continue reading

OOhhhh! New house! And as a suggestion NOT advice... Since you have four bedrooms, why not make one a dressing room/giant closet like we did? We still have a guest bedroom where the cat lived and an office for the birds to live in. I mean the hamster lives there too.
Wait. What was I saying? Oh, yeah. Spare bedroom as a closet. It made me love my husband more.
Eye of the Iris
Yesterday I was in the kitchen at work when my phone rang. It was the property manager for that house. "June, I talked to the owner. He's willing to go down on the price AND the pet deposit." You can imagine the pet deposit he wants. My voice stayed calm while I talked to the property manager, b...
Baby raccoons!
So Hud came home late today for lunch and found two week old baby raccoon cubs napping in the driveway. As you do. Afraid they would get run over by a car, we scooped them into a box and brought... Continue reading

You're as cold as ice
The novelty of snow is gone. In the South, it doesn't snow much, then when it does, everyone panics in a gleeful way, and everything is shut down, and people cancel plans because it MIGHT COULD snow. They also say "might could." This is my seventh winter here, and I don't think it's snowed more ...
Just got back...
From the River House in Gatlinberg for Thanksgiving. One of my favorite places on the planet. And it snowed! Continue reading

Before and After
Before the ceremony, Hud and I checked in to the gorgeous Romeo and Julliet Suite at the Peabody. And they brought us strawberries and champagne! Hud took me to lunch at Rizzo's downtown. It was divine. Blackened catfish eggs benedict.... Continue reading

Thanks, twelve. We DO need a drama break. I'm stressing so much my hair is breaking and falling out.
The crazy thing is that we've met some of the people who lived here and ALL of them talk about this house the same way.
Aida, Aida Velveeta. But that's just her stage name...
I had a recurring dream before I found Aida. I phoned all of my friends and told them about my new kitten. "Her name's Aida. Aida Velveeta, but that's just her stage name..." I had searched for my cat for weeks. On a trip to Knoxville to have my wedding dress fitted. She wasn't there...

Brave New World
The only reason I've been so silent is that my life is living me right now. I have no control of it. It's as if I've been pushed into a swollen, raging stream and all I can do is try... Continue reading

Thanks for the well wishes, everybody. They are a salve to my broken soul. Terra is home, but not for the right reasons. They could not do the ablation. His heart is damaged from the arrhythmia. Hopefully, it will correct itself. They also found clots in his upper chambers, so doing the procedure may have made him stroke. They sent him home with meds to correct both problems.
I am being strong for him, but inside I am dying.
I interrupt this break to tell you the following crucial story. No, I'm not done breaking. Breaking is lovely, in fact.
This morning, I left for work, and I was looking snappy. I may or may not have forced Ned and some other friends to watch The Way We Were last night, and Barbra Streisand's red-and-black outfit inspired me. So today I slapped on my black-and-white peplum top that kind of looks like I'm wearing ...
Oh, and I went camping once in my twenties. My then husband woke me up sweeping his hand across my body frantically. I was covered in wolf spiders, who were biting me. He had awakened to my moaning at the bites. he said he could feel actual bodies, they were so big.
And them it rained and we had to get out of there fast. The couple we were with were ahead of me. I was half asleep and covered in bites so it took me a minute to realize that in his haste, my friend, Joe, had put his underwear on OUTSIDE of his jeans. Heeeee.

Something scarier than wolf spiders. The meds did not work. Ablation this morning barring clots in the upper atria. Yay.
Help Hud.

Thanks, everybody! The good wishes seem to be working. Terra has arrhythmia flutter, which is supposed to be better than afib. Treating with meds for now. We both are exhausted, but a little relieved by what his docs are telling us.
Thanks. Really. Thanks.
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (Sadly, this is not the first time I have titled a post that)
Thanks, everyone, for your concern about Ned. I'm glad everyone likes him as much as I do. Okay, maybe you don't like him as much as I do, but thanks for caring about him. He is a good egg. I have another Purple Clover post up, this time about God and Julie Andrews, as you do, and also I want to...
Hey ya'll.
I usually post support, not ask for it, but my sweet Terra is in the hospital suffering from arrhythmia. I am scared.
Pray for him. Cross your fingers. Something. Please.

Happy Birthday to You
Happy birthday, Evie! You've been gone two years and ten days now. I've missed you every single minute. I read some of our old letters today. The ones so long that we made up commercial breaks and drew cartoons in.... Continue reading

Poison ivy. That's next. Care to roll in it? Heeee.
Bamboozled
Sigh. There is a stand of vivacious bamboo, Chinese bamboo, that is hard to grow here in Memphis. It THRIVES in the space to the north of the living room where some fool planted it years ago. The fact that it is Chinese bamboo is important because it is what the pandas at the Memphis Zoo want ...
