Oh, tragus piercing, how I miss thee?
I took the tongue out willingly a couple years back and never regretted it, but I would love to have the tragus back in there. Maybe one day.

 Right you are!
 Tea is probably better for it than coffee!
 Ha! But it's like an addiction, this diary thing...
 A massage will definitely do me some good. I wish I didn't have to wait a few days to get one.
 My nose piercing gave me nothing but grief. I took it out after 10 months. Allan's sister wanted to do her tragus, so we went together. Pretty soon we're going to go do the other side. I don't think I could ever pierce my tongue, but if I had a lovely flat tummy I'd do my belly button in a heartbeat! :-)

This evening Allan and I met a cyber-acquaintance. We didn't meet her on Flickr, but on a website that is important to both of us. A. is a new participant at this website, and she's jumped right in and joined the "family." It was wonderful to meet her. I do believe we'll meet up again.
Those are her arms and her coffee. I put the 50mm lens on my D50. I haven't used it much since we got it.

It has been raining for three days. The stress I have alluded to is compounded by the weather. I didn't sign up for this!
About the stress: I have decided to start writing about it on my blog. I learned a couple of things over the weekend, things which turned on my lightbulb, if you will.
Writing it down, exploring it, will take a while, especially if I keep feeling like this. Today was one of those days where you just want to stay in bed. I didn't, but I didn't do everything I'd planned to, either.
This afternoon, I said to Allan, "Let's go to Walgreen's or something and get some nice fluorescent light on our faces." We browsed the aisles, just enjoying the bright lights, when I saw some Elmer's Shimmering Shapes Glaze. I checked it out, returned it to the shelf, and walked away. Five seconds later I decided to buy the stuff. I have an ongoing scrapbook project for my kids (and I really need to start it) and this stuff will be a cool thing to use.
I felt great when we left the store. I do believe the artificial lights at Walgreen's made a difference in my attitude!
_________________________________________
Il pleut depuis trois jours. Le stress dont j'ai fait allusion est amplifié par le temps. Je ne l'ai pas demandé, tout ça!
A propos du stress, j'ai décidé d'en parler dans mon blog. J'ai appris deux-trois choses ce week-end, ce qui a fait un déclic chez moi.
Tout écrire, tout explorer, va prendre du temps, surtout si je continue à me sentir comme ça. Aujourd'hui, c'était l'une de ces journées où tu n'as qu'une envie: rester au pieu. Je ne l'ai pas fait, mais je n'ai pas fait tout ce que je voulais, non plus.
Cet après-midi, j'ai dit à Allan, "Allez, on va chez Walgreen's ou chais pas où pour prendre des bons rayons fluos?" Nous avons trâiné dans les rayons (faires des rayons sous les rayons, ha!), nous prenions plaisir à être dans un endroit clair, et puis j'ai vu ce truc de chez Elmer's Glue. (Quand j'étais gamine, Elmer's faisaient de la colle blanche, point. Maintenant ils font des produits géniaux, du genre colle qui brille...). J'ai regardé ce "glaçage" brillant, puis je l'ai remis. Je suis partie. Cinq secondes plus tard, j'ai décidé d'acheter ce truc. Je fais un scrapbook pour chacun de mes enfants (d'ailleurs, ce serait bien de m'y mettre), et cette colle (ou glaçage) sera super.
Je me sentais bien quand on a quitté Walgreen's. Je crois bien que les lumières artificielles ont fait toute la différence dans mon attitude!

buying something sparkly is a good mood lifter.
fir a few years I wanted to make photo albums of pictures for my nieces and nephews (3 of each) filled with pictures taken before they were born. It wiil require a long visit to my parents and my uncle (he has the really old family pictures). Unfortunately the screen on my laptop died and I have to hook it up to a monitor. grrr. I guess I will have to postpone the books for another year (when I can afford a new laptop).

I am just LOVING this picture!
I'm not quit sure whst the item is, this glaze... but it looks fun!! I know the feeling of just wanting to get out and heading for Walgreen's!!!
During my first extended visit to stay with my fiancé (a three month vacation!) he wasn't working at first, so he we didn't have much money to go out a lot... when we were bored and wanted somehting to do, I'd ask him to take me to Wal-Mart just to look around!!! I was (and still am today) fascinated by those HUGE aisles and never ending items of those immense shelves...
His friends still make fun of me for it, but I just laugh!
anyways, I LOVE that picture... did I mentoin that already???

 Je l'ai fait exprès, puisque le j'aurais dit comme ça en français. Treize ans dans le pays, je comprends les nuances, et je choisis mes mots. L'utilisation de "pieu" ne t'a pas fait tilter? :-)
Thanks! The glaze is like a clear glue with sparkly things in it. And don't be embarrassed about walking around Wal-Mart like that. I did it myself just the other day!

hey, was by for a visit - looking at the coffee cup photo - it is like everyone is watching them to see what they will do - like it is a coffee cup pit fight - or the coffee cups are like yur kids and you're hoping they will get along and go off and play so you can talk "grown up" talk
like in the photo, coffee is central to my life LOL
coffee makes me happier than the sparkly stuff but to each his own eh

It's my turn to cook dinner. We're having penne with a bit of chopped, cooked bacon, halved grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella (mmm, can't wait until it melts into the hot pasta), and fresh basil. With sea salt and freshly ground pepper, of course.
N.B. I forgot to add the basil. Oops. It was still a tasty meal!
____________________________________________
C'est à moi de faire la cuisine ce soir. Chacun son tour! On mange des pâtes avec des "lardons" -- c'est un peu de bacon, haché et cuit -- des tomates cerise* coupées en deux, de la mozzarelle fraîche (mmm, j'ai hâte que ça fonde dans les pâtes), et du basilic frais. Avec du sel de mer et du poivre fraîchement moulu, bien sûr.
*Aux States on peut maintenant acheter des petites tomates ovales, d'où le nom "grape tomatoes." Elles ressemblent aux raisins. CQFD. C'est un truc que j'ai découvert à mon retour au pays. Tiens, ça fait dix ans que ça existe ici. Who knew?
N.B. J'ai oublié le basilic. Oups. C'était bon quand même!

January 17, 2007
Excerpted from today's blog entry:
The first thing she asked was "How's the Wellbutrin working out?"
I said "It's not. I don't want to take it anymore."
Now, I was hoping that she would just tell me to wean off of it, and basta, end of story, but no. She prescribed another medication. With different side effects. Nausea, anyone?
Why? Because when I told her about what the stress was doing to me, she said "It's related to the depression."
Sigh.
On the other hand, she thought it was a good idea for me to get a massage. Because that bone that sticks out a bit in my lower back? That's no bone. It's a muscle spasm.
________________________________________
Un petit extrait de mon billet d'aujourd'hui (lien ci-dessus):
La première chose qu'elle m'a demandée, c'était "Et le Wellbutrin. Comment ça marche pour vous?"
J'ai dit "Ça ne marche pas. Je ne veux plus en prendre."
J'espérais qu'elle me dirait de me sevrer, puis basta, fin de l'histoire, mais non. Elle m'a proscrit un autre médicament. Avec des effets secondaires différents. Qui veut de la nausée?
Pourquoi? Parce que quand je lui ai dit les effets du stress sur mon corps, elle m'a dit, "C'est lié à votre état dépressif."
(...grand soupir...)
D'un autre côté, elle pensait qu'un massage me ferait du bien. Parce que cet os qui se manifeste dans le creux de mes reins? C'est pas un os. Cest un spasme musculaire.

Hi! I have been browsing our 2007 thread like a mad man, jumping from page to page until I got here!
Wellbutrin...! You must be in the States. They love it there!! After 3 days of taking it I sent it back to my doctor and told him: What not try it for yourself?
Now that I am back on effexor XR, I stopped screaming! Only problem is, it takes 6 weeks to get to your system ;-)

Go with the massage... that's going to feel great. I know what it feels like to have muscle spams that feel like a bone sticking out of your back. God, it hurts.
I hope you find the right balance so that the stress doesn't take over... I know you will.

January 19, 1998.
Dear T.,
They pumped me full of Ocytocine so that you would enter the world more quickly. It wasn't because you were having difficulties, or because I was in danger, or vice versa. Everything was fine; you were just taking your time and the nurses wanted you to be born because they were busy that day in the maternity ward. We found out that one baby had been stillborn that night. It showed; the personnel were sober and taciturn.
Both you and your sister hurt me, in the sense that when I was in labor with you, it wasn't just labor. It was back labor. That REALLY hurts, not that you need to worry about ever feeling it.
The Ocytocine did its magic, as did the epidural. Your father ran out to get a sandwich. He hadn't eaten in more than 12 hours. And at the point where I couldn't wait any longer, he rushed into the room. There you were.
I knew you were a boy. We wanted to find out, whereas we had no idea whether your older sister would be a boy or a girl. We had two names chosen for her. For you, we only needed one name. Also, because I wanted another girl so badly, I wanted to know what you were, so that I could prepare myself. I had a few months to get used to the idea that you were a boy.
That sounds kind of mean, doesn't it? The important thing is a healthy baby, right? I needn't have worried, anyway. You were a healthy baby. And the day after you were born, I held you after I fed you. You looked right into my eyes. I have no idea what you actually saw, but I fell in love with you right there.
Happy Birthday, my sweet boy. You are not here for me to take a photo of, so I took a photo of this. It is one of my favorite pictures of you.
I love you and miss you,
Mom xoxoxo

 No, I'm not quite that anal-retentive! Our board has ridges to keep the tiles in place, and it even sits on a lazy Susan so that you can turn the board. I love it!
No, I plan to win next time. We're tied. It's my turn to win. ;-)
Thanks! I'll let you all know next time I win. ;-)
 It's a "deluxe" board. It even turns, so you can read the board easily. Well worth the extra money!
Thank you. As I've said, the board has ridges so the tiles don't move around. It's great!

It's been very hard for me to write blog entries lately. Part of this is due to stress. And one of the stressors in my life is this situation, which I just managed to blog about today. If you don't care to read the blog entry I linked, that's okay. I'll explain that I'm dealing with an important situation, yet there are many unknown variables right now. It's doing my head in.

Et l'un des facteurs qui me stresse c'est cette situation (billet en anglais); Ce n'est qu'aujourd'hui que j'ai réussi à en parler: Si vous ne voulez pas lire le billet, c'est pas grave. Je m'explique: on devait signer (avec mon ex) l'acte authentique de notre maison. La date a été changée, et j'ai dû annuler mon billet d'avion. On n'a pas de nouvelle date, mais ça va certainement coïncider avec les vacances de février des gamins...ce qui veut dire qu'il a fallu annuler le projet qu'on avait pour les vacances. Ne rien savoir (puisque bien sûr, le notaire ne peut rien me dire) me prend la tête. Bref. Voilà.

I'm sorry to hear your plans fell through and that you had to make new ones.
I'm sure it will all be worth it once you're there. You'll get to see your kids again and just enjoy your time in France...
I know what it's like when things just take forever! Unfortunately not all of Europe is as efficient as it should be... things here too take way much longer than they should. Sometimes I wonder how we (Italy) ever became part of the EU!! Don't think we always deserve it!
On a lighter note, you probably don't know that I was racking my brain trying to find the link you posted a while back about the Dooce effect.
As stupid as I was, I didn't save the link and seeing as I had read about it in your blog a while back, I had completely forgotten it was you who had posted about it and what the effect was called!
After four days and not much help, I decided to go through every single diary until I found it! You can imagine my surprise when I came to yours and found that it was you who had introduced me to it!
I read your diary every day... and yet I didn't think to come to yours first!
Silly me!!
Off to try the Dooce effect now!!

Sorry to hear about the bad stuff. Just think about the kirs that await your delayed France-visit...
On another, less serious note, Scrabble is AWESOME! I have even managed to win in FRENCH before! YAY!

Glad you finally found what you were looking for!
Me too. I should know more by next week.
Yes, I'm slogging through. Trudge, trudge.
I LOVE Scrabble in French, too! Something about all the different terminaisons and conjugaisons... ;-)

Allan's sister and I had our traguses (tragi?) pierced today. If I'd been less shy, I'd have asked to take a closeup of the piercer's gloves and forearms. Damn.
Anyway, we did the other ear three months ago.

Ah, the life of the under-employed freelance writer. I didn't take a shower until after 4 p.m. today. And even now, I'm lounging in my pajamas. You know, getting ready to write a blog entry or something.
The thing is, I still lack the motivation to blog. Some days I just feel like I can't do anything; I can't summon the energy, mental or physical, that I need.
Tomorrow will be different. We actually have to be somewhere at a certain time. I think that will set the tone for the day.

Pas envie de brancher le clavier AZERTY, ni d'ecrire en francais. Oh, merde, mais je voulais utiliser la phrase "pigiste sous-employee". Donc, la voila. C'est moi. Et aujourd'hui je n'ai rien foutu.

I just read your blog entry and it's a shame to hear about this, hope things work out in the better way for you and your kids. And after seeing you piercing photos I want to re-do the ones I lost in the past years
And good luck in your morning appointment

The reflection of your reflection in the camera lens just rocks! Well done.

Thanks. Things should be settled by next week.
As I told you, as soon as I saw the preview of the photo, I thought "There it is! There's my photo!" :-)

oh wow, I hadn't noticed that untill you pinted it out... the reflection is awesome AliThinks!!!
So brave of you to get your "thingy" pierced... always wondered what it was called! Did it hurt more than a normal ear piercing??
