Now off to enjoy began dinner and wine with a friend visitng from Tucson! I love my desert peeps!
Dec 30th
Okay, meeting over. Was just planning for the main event, which is tmrw. Change is inevitable and I think it’s going to be pretty smooth.
Dec 30th
Okay, going to my next meeting for real this time. See y’all in a couple hours.
Dec 30th
speaking of funding, I have a meeting to go to… And I’m anxious about it. No audience is so unforgiving as your own peers…
Dec 30th
But the big picture is tougher to architect while keeping the numbers we need onboard. One way or another, we are under-funded!
Dec 30th
Stopping in between meetings to clear my head. T - 12 days to moving onto my new place. Until then dark bars near my office will do.
Dec 30th
in theory breaking the big picture down onto small tasks is more doable. But it also diminished very necessarymomemtum and enthusiasm…
Dec 30th
finally heading home to sf.
Dec 29th
For the love of Maude! Is Palin seriously still harping on this “domestic terrorist” bullshit? There’s lots to criticize Obama for, move on!
Dec 28th
Okay I was productive, now off to hotel. Then tomorrow back to SF!!!!!
Dec 28th
Now I’m watching “The Crippendales” I’ll let you guess what it’s about.
Dec 28th
Watching a bunch of short films about sex and disability. The “Devotees” are my favorite!
Dec 28th
Waiting to check in and devising plan to get at least one of the cute bellboys into my room.

“After all, for the first time in my lifetime we have a husband and wife entering...”

…Where does a hot pushy girl who i s not sadistic find such a being in San Francisco?
Dec 28th
The most r4ecent one was a slovenly piece of shit that was preoccupied with manipulating me. It’s not healthy.
Dec 28th
I mean really, why seek out a woman to be your Mistress and then be a complete failure in service to Her? What’s the fucking point?
Dec 28th
Alright tweeple, I need to go be productive. Which means do homework. Thanks for distracting me for a bit!!!
Dec 28th
After only two days the nephew is saying my name. He also pushes mom away and reaches out for me when I enter the room. She doesn’t mind.
Dec 27th
Now that I’ve been reminded that it is impossible to have even a false sense of privacy in this house, I’m ready to head to a hotel.

Did you know that i am an Olympic Champion? (At least a friend in Tucson thinks so!) Thanks for the card, that was sweet ;-)
Dec 27th
Watching my mom spy on my brother’s phone call and remembering why I hated living with her. Here’s to being an adult and moving the fuck out
Dec 27th
Tuens out she was actilally spying on me and is now trying to justify it. This holiday visit is so over.
Dec 27th
And again, despite all odds, the patents come through as the coolest fucking ppl ok earth. Despite having a completely unusual daughter.
Dec 27th
these are by far my favorite people on the world. My mom just facilitated a round of white elephant with 30 ppl, half are drunk.
Dec 27th
My bro inlaw has been teasing my mom all nite and it’s fucking hilarious! If I didn’t know better I’d think he has a crush on her!
Dec 27th
I learned tonite that there are streets in Placer Co. Named after both my grandma and grandpa’s families. Let that hick flag fly!!!
Dec 27th
At mom’s official day after dinner. My nieces and nephews grow too fast! Bro in law brought me some sticky goodness from norcal! W00t!
Dec 27th
Yes mom, I became a vegetarian with the single goal of making your life more difficult. Merry fucking Xmas!
Dec 27th
Auntie duty today! Convinced sister in law to let me have him while she works. We’re dancing to Gotan Project. Next off to play with cousin.
Dec 26th
Wow that is always weird. Glad I went. I don’t want to be buried in one of these places. Scatter my ashes in a field of wildflowers.
Dec 26th
My mom and uncle were discussing which plots are remaining closest to my grandparents. Ick! I don’t want to start planning for that!
Dec 26th
Left the kid with grandpa and while mom uncle and me go to cemetary. Catching up on family gossip on the way.
Dec 26th
I will NOT be foiled by this monstrosity of a carseat!
Dec 26th
For Xmas my brother bought himself- I mean his son- a remote control dinosaur. Are you seeing a pattern here?
Dec 26th
Screw them! Of course when I was a teenager I was not good at childcare. But I’m am adult now people! And I’m damn good at this!
Dec 26th
Today I made breakfast, fed and dressed a child, cleaned and transported him. All the while family making snarky comments about my ability.
Dec 26th
If they try to make me pay stage fees for those two shifts that I missed 7 years ago I will tell them to go fuck themseselves.
Dec 26th
“where’s your other half? Oh no! I thought you’d be together forever.” um, I did too, until be became a junkie dirtbag POC… Xmas sucks!
Dec 26th
The real kicker is that they all assume that he dumped me. The truhth is too embarassing to tell them…
Dec 26th
But honestly, dumping him was a supreme act of self-preservation, no matter how much it hurts. But lying to both our families is easier.
Dec 26th
Fortunately there were lots of good veggie options at aunt’s house. Uncle: “but you can eat lobster right?”
Dec 26th
I showed up late. Aunt “let’s wait til she sits to say grace.” Mom: “no just start, she’s not into religion anyway.” Awesome!!!
Dec 26th
Dad’s cheering me up: “I have tmrw off and you and I are playing black jack at the new Indian Casino. We’ll split whatever we win”
Dec 26th
Listening to stories of cousin teaching condom use to HS biology students despite Bush doctrine past 4 yrs. She’s a rock star!
Dec 26th
Now at my brother’s house with his cool-ass wife and adorable almost-2-years-old son. Life is good. The rest is bullocks.
Dec 26th
My bro got his pic taken with MC Hammer when he came to my dad’s store…
Dec 26th
…Hammer is apparently an incredibly nice guy and he LOVES that people still treat him like a celeb.
Dec 26th
Showing my fam video footage from Dec 17. Bro’s wife is totally into it because as I said she’s cool as fuck.
