I had an interesting convo with my dad last night before I went to sleep. It went like this: Daddy: Here is the phone, Kiki… I’m going to sleep. Me: Okay daddy, rest well. See you tomorrow, God willing Daddy: Aren’t you going to sleep soon? Me: Me? I can’t sleep really anymore. Daddy: What … Read More
Oh yeah… it’s Easter. It’s such a shame I put it that way. But that’s really how it was for me this morning. An after thought. I have to find out if I’ll ever be “religious” again. I’m tremendously spiritual, but not to the point where I feel obligated to spending 3 hours walking in … Read More
I felt pretty at peace and leisurely this weekend. Even thought I worked pretty hard. Saturday, I worked on my chapter’s directory for a little while then my baby came up with his Cousin Jessica (scroll to the flower girls) who is just one of the most precious little girls I know.

And how with marriage, there is no turning back without SERIOUS repercussion. She was explaining to me the clauses in the contract with the reception hall and … Read More
I’ve never been a fanatic for anyone. I’ve never been a fan; or at least, not a habitually screaming one. I used to listen to Marvin Gaye’s recording of the Star Spangled Banner and other live cuts he’d do and hear these women screaming their heads off and think… what the hell was wrong with … Read More
