My ex used to call them Hellmark Holidays

exactly- as if the REAL holidays are not enough sometimes ...people have to feel lousy about another so called "occasion" which is just for making money.  For some people these sorts of things are like the eternal prom night without a date. When I was a junior in HS I had to import a guy from a private school because no one asked me. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. you see?


Thank heavens I missed the senior ball because I was incarcerated in a home for unwed mothers. hahahah sorry. what doesn't destroy us makes us giggle years later. shalom.

Yeah, we don't do those holidays either. I think I've seen that photo before... you have good hair.

I don't do them either.  But it was sweet that the younger M came over for a short while yesterday, and brought over a bouquet of his roses that he is growing.  He's become quite a rosarian, with 41 species now.  And they are mostly old roses and wild ones.  Anyway, it was sweet, and I was touched.  The older M is going with B this morning to UCSF for another procedure where they put a camera down your throat to see what is causing more sleep apnea.   They left at 5:30 and B had given me a really bad yukky cold and crud, which I am living with today, while having 3 people working here.  Love you...I'll be in touch as soon as I can get on top of a few things.
