For all intensive purposes

Speaking of getting things wrong, I sometimes change lanes without checking. I wish that I wouldn't do it, but I forget, then I do, then I think of how quickly my day could have just been tossed down the shitter. I feel thankful for a few moments then inevitably am enraged by many other drivers.
I broke a lid tonight. The edge of a tortilla chip bag caught on it, then it fell to the floor and cracked. Now I have that dish with no lid. Should I throw it out?
It seems worse to hold onto it, with all the memories I have of how complete it used to be.
And for your information, it is FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES if you should ever wonder, and to escape being corrected in public, like me, or by me now.
your friend, kch

It's an easy one.... cause when I look at the times between blogging, and think of how much I could say because my life is so riveting, mile a minute adventure, i get tired,then think...I'll do it in a few minutes. Plus i am such a bad typist it makes me seem illiterate, and I don't like proofreading. I obviously need a secretary, in addition to the rest of the housing staff i have yet to hire. Any way this is an easy one.

I did it! me too

looooooceeeee, i'm hooome!

I love her, too.
Who doesn't love Lucy? But nobody wants to BE her really, do they? I mean, Desi was hot in reality, and she was a comic genius, but for me, I actually don't have a TV audience. It's just me and my boss on our first work with together today, as I haplessly drop my cell phone in the snow, then not notice, and walk away, then he picks it up. I fall as we are walking to Starbucks together, he tries to help me up, but he can't 'cause I am also stepping on my full lenght coat. I leave my brief case at one of the accounts, with my BRAND NEW COMPANY bought laptop in it, then have to go back to retrieve it, when I notice, 1 1/2hours later. At the last account I put on my top coat, and begin walk away without my very expensive blazer. A TRUE STORY FROM TODAY.
all my love. KCH

That's we they call us rugged

`okay yeah, the land of the rugged north american marmovich is fraught with potential hazards and spills all over. No telling where.I have so many.... so many.
There was the time I tried to give my self a quick pedicure in the sink at our old apartment. I fell over for absolutely no reason at all.
After a moment of directionless teetering,
I ended up heading toward the bathtub- back first, arms spinning.
I caught my ass on the shower curtain and ended up hanging inches above the bathtub, ever so slowly ripping the curtain and its rod out of the wall, millimeter by millimeter, second by second.
My body was suspended in the air on the curtain and I couldn't get any leverage to pull my self up-
Finally I was close enough to the bottom of the tub to get my hand to touch the ceramic bottom of the tub, and hoisted. By this time, I had ripped the curtain rod fixture out of the wall. I walked out of the bathroom confused, exclaiming, "the important thing is that I'm OKAY."
All this happened in the span of about 30 seconds of me being alone with myself. xoxoxo

well its been awhile

but you know never late than better!
Today I have a wee bit of a hangover, I was celebrating last night.
A friends birthday- and MY NEW JOB!!!!!
Yesterday there was a rabid (rapid)squirrel in my house. It charged at me, as I innocently sat at the computer doing my work. I chased it with a brooom, but it began to hide in the closet. I left the door open so it could flee. In the interim, I heard more chittering and whining out in the yard as the neighbors dogs attacked yet another squirrel outside. It climbed up a tree. I beat it out of the tree with a broom so the dogs could get it, but they were too slow.

They are creepy gutter snipes. They walk around our gutters like they are lording over the yard. I'm sick of it. Dammit! I'm not sure how the one in here freed himself or how it got in, which is unnerving. But my cats were more than interested in removing it by any means, so i don't think it will be back.
The cats and I had a talk this morning about the return of the squirrel and what is expected of them. They are receptive to motivational speaking, so I feel confident they can be trusted. Ozzy is a bit compromised because he has no teeth or claws. He is more stuffed animal than feral, but I know he'll do fine. If the creepy gray rodent avec tail returns, we will make mincemeat of him!

Ciao Ciao Bella

Vorrei parla Italiano con tu, ma mon italiano e gros.
Get it? It's my in.
Tomorrow i am going to Milan,then to the countryside, and this is what I will say over and over to every Italian, and they might like me for trying, but no no doubt they will find me a bit stupid. It's hard, in another language. Like if I can remember the noun, I get really proud. In my native tongue it is not really a big deal for a 35(?!!)year old to remember the word for ....ashtray, for instance
so when i am beaming proud- holding my new shoes, and loudly calling them "SHOES!SHOES!"someome is going to smirk. This is gonna happen. I tell you. Even though I'm gonna try not to be a dumb American . Euros are just so much more cultured, reserved, mysterious. I'll appear like a Labrador, I know, but I am after all a midwesterner. We wanna be nice! We wanna please. I've been working all the time, as a matter of fact on that note, an Im escited to stare at the Italian mountainside vineyards, and feel glamorous, relaxed and one with nature ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Sometimes, selling wine is a REALLY great job.Back on the 26.xoxoxoxo kch

Back to the Box

xo to you and you and you. i think about you all the time, I really do.I's just so infuriating to write it down you know. This is why I would conciously lose the lock to the diary and then just be like oh have to throw it out. This is out ad infinitum. So many thingies have gone on, I think this is part of the problem. too much life, less time to write about it. My goodnass, Maynan's wedding- geez o pete was nothing less than joyous- just got my kickass pixtures back today.... wonder how Hawaii was. If only all life could be like vacation. i went on vacations right after Mombis wedding.4 days of the beach, the gators, the sandfleas, the noseeums( they'll kick your ass), and 3 high schools friends. we waxed nostalgic. we ate lots of grouper and we read 20 magazines. Yep, if only all life was like vacations....Now I'm back. Why so stressed out? It's only wine, for the love of god. I talk in my sleep now. i told Glenn I knew Reiki in my sleep, that the wall looked like a leopard and his face looked like a peacock. dreams do kinda kick ass. Miss y'all. xoxoox kch
oh yeah, have done some good shopping though....xoxoxoxoox andso on and son andso on
