Please take a gander at my new renter, Jolie of Allrighty Then.

First of all, I love her design. It’s clean, the colors are soothing, and it’s fun. Here’s what she has to say about herself:

I am Jolie. I live in South Louisiana.
I am an admin/paralegal for a small
lawfirm. I’m trying to blog about the
positive things in my life. Allrighty then,
let’s get to it!

She also has a 100 things list.

Go check her out and give her some love!

So this portion of Julie’s entry at a little pregnant made me laugh – okay well snort – this morning.

This morning as I was leaving the hospital’s parking garage I handed my ticket to the man in the booth, who leaned out of his window to speak to me face to face. “What would you say,” he asked, “if your ex-wife called you at 7:15 this morning to ask you to go out to dinner tomorrow night?”

“‘Call back at a decent hour’?” I suggested. (He looked a little frail, so I didn’t tack on the gratuitous “…you faithless whore” that immediately sprang to mind, for fear of giving him a stroke. Although we were right at the hospital…)

He doesn’t know why his ex-wife wants to see him. I asked him if he was going to go. “‘Course I am,” he said, as if the question were patently silly. “What’s she going to do to me that 100,000 North Vietnamese didn’t already try?”

My renter this week is Cat of Living with Multiple Personalities. I was so excited when she bid, as she’s one of my regular reads. In addition – she’s the one who started the tradition sweeping the nation, Click and Comment Monday.

Her blog is a personal journey… She talks about her day to day life and family. But she also talks about her bout with mental issues. She has (um – hello her title) multiple personalities. She talks about that openly – both her struggles, what she’s doing now, and in an educational manner for those of us (me) who don’t understand it, or haven’t been exposed to it.

I appreciate her. I appreciate her efforts of bring the web together. I am just so happy to have her as a renter. Please go visit. Show her some love.

I’m having trouble sitting and writing. All these collabs I belong to are getting the brunt. I normally love to participate, as for me they’re creativity prompts. Right now? Not so much. So – to all the different programs and collabs and blogrolls I belong to? I’m not ignoring you, and I’m slowly starting to get back in the groove after the – what? Shock of grief? Who knows what the proper way to put it is. I was asking what the point is. But I’m slowly starting to see the point for me again, so please, just bear with me a little while longer.
