Insert Witty Title Here.
A nice random smattering of ... well, random-ness.

1. This just in: Kobe Bryant Case Dropped. But, shockingly, the civil case filed by his accuser will go forward. Sounds to me like Kobe just needs to throw a $5 million diamond ring at her too ... worked for his "wife", eh?

2. Interesting new show on NBC ... Hawaii. It has one of my favorite stars on it (Eric Balfour, formerly "Gabriel Dimas" on Six Feet Under). Didn't get to watch much of the pilot, as Princess and I were assembling her new toybox. She's *so* helpful ... what should have taken me 15 minutes to do, took nearly an hour.

3. Speaking of Princess: After a little trip to the doctor's this afternoon, it was confirmed that she does indeed have allergies. Yeah, well THERE'S a big surprise ... both R and I swear by Allegra-D during this time of year. Office visit, $10. Zyrtec, $15. Damn, snotty noses are expensive.

4. Speaking of R: He was amused to learn that I was scoping out the new pediatrician for him. She was quite pretty, but had a huge diamond on her left hand. I told him that my pimpin' skills were sorely lacking the past few days, and he thought it was funny that I was trying to hook him up.

5. Soul-baring introspection: I realized this on the way home from my travels this afternoon ... Really, it's funny: R is one of my best friends. I think that I, like Mistress Matisse, married for the companionship and the "calm, orderly love" that society deems as how it "should be". And realistically, I think that's why our marriage failed ... because the "fire" wasn't there. We were comfortable, like roommates. And in all reality, a two-year old marriage should still be at the point to where you can't keep your hands off of each other. I've had a few people ask me if I'd ever marry again, and at the time I said "oh, hell no." But yeah, I would consider it eventually. But the fire, the "chemistry" would have to be there. I have plenty of friends, thankyouverymuch. I guess that spending some time on my own has really made me realize what's important in life (and a mate).

6. I'm pretty tired. Mom just called, and she's feeling pretty bad. It looks like she'll land herself in the hospital tomorrow afternoon. My grandma is in right now, in congestive heart failure (again ... still ... I'm not sure). So everyone and their health issues are really taking a toll on my psyche for right now. I know that sounds really selfish, and I really don't mean it to be that way. It's just that I'm tired of being the "strong" one.

Off to chat up TheBoy on the phone. He certainly makes me smile. Good night.
