quick notes:Thank you, Dana! I'm gonna get my A!Some of THE nastiest smells ever on this earth, I had to encounter. 1) Old banana peel in a warm car. UGHHHH make me wanna barf. And the worst part? Mom intentionally left it there for me. After consuming it, she puts it in a trash bag. Then thinks to herself, 'Wait, isn't Mich driving this tomorrow?? Hahahhahahaha!' Yeah, THANKS MOM. 2) Walking

ria Originally uploaded by michy. Dear Ria,Today you'd be 25. Wow...25. I miss you more and more. I sort of celebrated your birthday--we had a cake and candles for the Foundation's 2nd birthday. Kind of hard to believe that it's already been 2 'official' years for the foundation. Of course I'd rather we didn't have the foundation and just have you around, but I guess God needed you

Just as soon as she arrives, she's off again. But this time, only for two months and instead of across the world, she's only across the states. I can't wait for her to come home tho.

School is ok. I have an early morning class and it's been a pain to wake up at 6 again. It's a pain to have late evening classes again too. It's also a pain to have a 6 hour break inbetween classes. Maybe I'll challenge the class and hope they'll be nice and let me get credit for it. Here's to hoping. Had a nitemare again last nite. I hate having them. I haven't had one in a really long

I love it when I'm right--especially when it comes to sports. Hahahhahahaa, b/c then, I don't feel stupid when talking to guys, I can snub it in their faces. My reason for gloating this time? Finding an article that says the same things I've said. But then again, he IS just a journalist. Hahahhahaha! In defense of the flighty Golden Bears - Betting Fool, SF Gate Thursday, January 6, 2005

No, I have not fallen off the face the earth--I'm still here; things just have been really busy and hectic lately. Also been on a huge emotional roller coaster the past month. Been to more funerals and hospitals than I care to for this time of year--any time of the year for that matter. Things have been good and bad. But I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Let's see...since the last time

It's been a tiring week. But at least Grandpa's out of the hospital. ::sigh:: BIG relief. Monterey was relaxing--short, but relaxing. Much needed break. Figured out I screwed myself over w/ school. I'm so stupid. I'll be in longer still. Arhhhhhh... Last nite, spent the evening w/ Christine, Chris, Heather, Wade, John, and Franky in Berkeley. Watched the Cal Stanford Sing off. It was

It's 2:30 and I should be going to sleep, especially since I have to hit the road at 7:30. Why? Because we're going up to Sacramento to visit my grandfather in the hospital, then back down to Monterey for a conference this weekend. Did I mention I hate hospitals? Especially hospitals where Doctors are incompetent? Right now, I'm so upset, I wish I had a punching bag AND a pillow. Punching

Another hole has turned up and while it's not causing the damage that I've had before, it's still somewhat of a problem. So tomorrow morning at 9am, I'm going under the beam. It's going to be a really short procedure and supposed

I am wiped out. A pretty good weekend though. The activities started late Thursday nite when Gary called to say that baby might be coming sooner than expected. I ended up going to watch the kids that nite. They barley made it to the hopsital before Marissa Nicole Hall popped out. 6lbs. 2 oz. 19 1/2 in. 1:06 am.

Please pray! It's official, my cousin Christina is patrolling the open waters. Pray for the ship's safety, etc. Wow, scary thought. Been a busy week--which is good, because it gets my mind off of my eyeball. This may be the last month of "freedom" for me, so it's going to be a packed one. Have lots of stuff going on. Last nite, helped the Hall's move and pack stuff. People didn't

A quick check up was all it was supposed to be. I was a little nervous about going in; I mean, it's been a year and even though everything seems fine, the last time I said everything was fine, I ended up on my left side for a month w/ my head lower then the rest of my body. So I went to my Dr., he checks the right eye first and everything is fine. He takes a little longer with the left eye and

What do you say to someone who has just found out that their mom has spinal cancer and it's inoperable? Somehow, the words, "I'm praying for you" doesn't seem like it's much. Even though I know there's SO much power in prayer. I get on my knees...I get on my knees. There I am before the LORD who changes me, see I don't know how, but there's power, when I'm on my knees..."
