The Invisible Woman Chronicles

There's a name that I came across yesterday that I think is a lovely name.  It's the name Grace.  There is something calming and sweet about that name. If I had had a daughter, I would have liked to have given her the name Grace.  See, if you say that out loud, you're made to feel pathetic or sad because you think you missed out on having children.  That just irritates me and just frustrates me.  I'm allowed to share something I had wished for long ago.  I'm allowed to admit my feelings period.  It doesn't mean I'm going to go adopt a baby or cat and call her Grace.  I'm allowed to have those thoughts and I'm so tired of people bashing me down for admitting anything like that regarding kids. Anyway, now that my rant is over.  Yeah, I would have liked to have had a little girl or boy.  I always liked the names Owen or Jason. They bound sound like such calming names just like Grace.   I didn't dream of a perfect life.  I dre...

 Texas.  How could you?  Well I'm not surprised.  I had hope for Jasmine Crockett. I thought maybe it was possible that we could elect a smart black woman to the senate. I hope James Talarico wins but Texas?  You kind of suck.   I do get joy out of John Cornyn to have to do a run off with that creep Ken Paxton. See?  I can find a little joy in the day.  

 I seem to have a case of the loneliness blues.  I have felt kind of meh and just blah the last day or so.  When I went on my walk, I wanted to cry but I didn't.  I'm just tired of being lonely. Yeah, I know there's people I can talk to or reach out to when I need to talk to someone.  I can even talk to work people.  Gasp!  I know.  Not the diva.  Forget that weirdo.  It's not the same as someone that lives nearby. My mom had wondered why I was sad when I found out that Cassie was moving a few years ago.  She asked Did she ever invite you to see her apartment?  I said no.  How many times did you see her a year?  Maybe once if I was lucky.  I guess that wasn't as deep as friendship as I thought.  I know I have a deeper friendship with Corinne even though she lives 4 hours away.  The whole Cassie thing was embarrassing and still embarrassing.  I feel like such an idiot.   I know.  Join...

 I had a day off on Friday so let's see what surprises I have this morning.  I'd rather not.  Somehow I anticipate the diva doing something that will irritate me.  That relationship still stings.  Some would say it's an All About Eve kind of thing.  Well maybe.  I never was a star but she definitely wants to be one by stepping on others.   I am hoping my mom is doing better today. I hate it when she goes down misery lane but I know that's her struggles.  My grandmother was not a nice person.  My mom had told me as a kid that my grandmother was needling me to the point of tears where my step dad intervened and told her that was enough.  She wasn't a warm and fuzzy person.  I knew she thought little of me so that's why I didn't come around.  Why get insulted all the time?  I got tired of the passive aggressive comments growing up.  Blowing up at us as kids affected me.  It just really opened my eyes and d...

You find out the internet is flooding your Threads comment with hateful racist messages because you posted that you hoped Texas voted for Jasmine Crockett.  I don't really pay much attention to followers or comments and honestly that app has kind of cheered me up lately. I look at Andy Cohen's replies and it makes me laugh.  I have posted stuff like that before.  I really try to glance at these apps and don't post much, but holy hell at the racists came for me today.  I did a screen shot and posted the comments of hate that people had put out for me to warn others and of course blocked them.  How am I racist because I showed enthusiasm for a Senate candidate?  I'd like to know the reasoning. I really got a kick out of her and Jared Moskowitz a few years back because they both seemed so whip smart with the wise cracks.  In all the doom and gloom, Jasmine's comments always cheered me up.  It was like someone who can finally break it down and call yo...

 For some reason, I couldn't attach the picture I took of my Where's Tom Tiffany sticker? that I put up outside of Metro Market in Shorewood.  It was actually on the corner by Walgreens but it had Metro Market in the background.  Corinne loved it.  She wants to find more stickers.  I figure that was an area that wouldn't appall people if they saw it.  It would probably generate some laughs.  I got a feeling the one I put up in the West Milwaukee post office got taken down.  Stick to stop signs. I got a few left so we'll see where I can leave my mark. Ok, cool we bombed Iran.  Yeah, that's sarcastic.  Did someone not like Bill Clinton's testimony on Friday?  I don't know what to say anyone about that thing in the White House.  I'm just trying to function amongst the madness.  The cruelty just breaks my heart.  So yeah, I resort to sticking up silly stickers to combat me from going insane from the cruelty. I finally pul...
