Angi - You cracked me up.
Sandi - I am feeling MUCH better, I must say. Yeah, my friend is sucky and I think I'm better off completely alone than with a 1000 friends like her. I'm glad we "broke up" because now I have more time to be with ALL of my friends, not just one.

My sister got some tests back from the Mayo and she has Lupus and acid reflux disease. Lovely. Well, they've got her on new meds and they seem to have a "plan of attack" so, things look kind of hopeful. It was just heart-wrenching to see a 27 year old who has a hard time walking and cries because of the pain. It's a BIG part of why I've decided to take care of my body NOW, not in 30 years..... you only have ONE, ya know?
Hey, I went to a concert tonight at the college (Northland College, it's an environmental liberal arts college here in town, it's funny that there's one in a town of rednecks, I know!


) Anywhoo, I'm way into cultural things out there in this big world and this women's jazz group called "Straight Ahead" was made of 5 African-American ladies and they were AWESOME. I mean, AWESOME. They did Areatha, Bessie, Etta, the whole gang! It was great. The best part is, they were *real* women, if ya catch my drift... and they were all SO confident. It really gave my self esteem a boost. Yay.
Can ya'll believe it's almost OCTOBER????? :O :O
