Finding Jessica

trying to reach that essential plateau of hopeless wonderment associated with achieving the ultimate inspiration...

I've really got no idea, is the answer to that question. All I know is I'm stuck with one foot out of a cycle of not-quite-middle class money with upper class language, in a country I don't want to live in in an age I'm not always sure I'm right for. What happened to ball gowns and divorce being unimaginable...? Being married from 16 to 60 (if the other person lives that long) to the same person...unheard of these days.

Well anyways, I just had a wonderful thought. Last weekend was Easter, and while I did not make it to Church of the Holy Cross, I did make it to a dog park with my little Marco and Herman, to West Raleigh to the weekend flea market off Blue Ridge, and to have a wonderful day of happyness and fun with my honey. I don't think I told him what a great day I had...before he had to leave me for work of course. What can I say? We've all got to work without those handy trust funds.

Well, give me two years. You won't recognize my life. You might recognize me though. :-)

I've organized up my Amazon.com wish list! :-) Permanent URL (I think) below...happy shopping (for me!) hehehe

I've got it separated into books, movies, REALLY REALLY WANT (i.e. take a hint Herman, lol), computer ideas in case anyone is feeling riich (Marco peed on mine), and stuff for the house (for whenever I switch things up). Oh, and the standard wish list, which is where I put anything I don't want to forget and certainly don't mind owning (i.e. go ahead and buy it if you wish!).

Happy hunting...I'm a complex individual

Side note: some of the books are Kindle editions and I will get them almost instantly (electronic only, no shipping)...I'm not sure if you can change that feature if its a gift and time it, but they're still great (and less expensive) gifts! I LOVE my Kindle, thank you hunny! :-)

This is Kayla, younger daughter of my friend Tonya from work. We spent a fund Saturday afternoon at the museum with her two little girls at teh Animal Grossology Exhibit. How cute they are!

This is India, the older of the 2 daughters. What an intelligent little jokester!

Thought this would be a nasty post, didn't ya? Haha.

Well, it has been SO LONG since I've written, crazy stuff has happened. Somehow, I have a new boyfirend, in the distinct physique of an old one (i.e. same), a new car (WHOOOOOO!!!) not a new place though hopefully I will have reason to by march 2012...(when my lease is up again.

Mommy of course is happily married to Donald, and I need to get a move on finishing my dern degree so that I can help them more...where's that lottery ticket when you need it???

SO far as the car, THANK YOU SO MUCH Uncle Melvin (my Daddy's uncle, my great-uncle) for helping me finally get a new car after a YEAR of hoping my friends and co-workers wouldn't throw in the towel and tell me to fend for myself out in North Raleigh.

I am truly apprecated at my current job I've had since September 2010 in downtown Raleigh...and I miss my friends that once worked there with me (thatnks to me) but am gld they are moving toward their respective paths...Adell better finish school now or I'm gonna cut her toe off. The big one.

And I can honestly say that while I have seen nothing less than I expected, my friend that was recently married, Marlena, is in my thoughts almost every day, but she has to choose to live her life her own way and with the people she truly loves...and if that means being without others, then it does. I won't go too far into a friend-family drama, because my feelings on the matter have been made quite clear to HER, so...purgatory in place of loss is a despondent decision.

Lighter note! My boys, Marco and Magic, are getting so fat! Magic feels like he's finally breeched 10 lbs, and who knows what my little abonimable snoman weighs. I need to bathe them...thouroughly.

Segen is a new addition to the Chaplin residence, and I think I'm doing alright so far with a roommate again, after a wonderful (though lonely without a car) year alone. I think I can I think I can I think I can...lol

Okay, done rambling for now, nothing interesting to say really. THOUGH, for all my Chaplin side family I hear may be reading this out there, you know you can click "folow", right? Then I'll know who you are!

Until later,
