Tuesday, June 15, 2004

Well, first I will apologize. If any of you took my last entry as mean spirited, it was not meant that way. If any of you were hurt, pissed off or upset, I am sorry. It was certainly not my intention.

QQ, I meant what I said nicely, even though I used a few four letter words when I said it. I really do like when you guys stop by. I don't mind when you walk through the door unannounced as long as you can deal with me hanging out in my underwear and pajamas occasionally when you do (hmmm wonder if this is why Jessica never comes by?).

Melissa, thanks for being compassionate and making me feel really loved the last couple of days. Just thanks. I love you.

Nicole, I don't always know the right way to talk to you about things. With you, most of the time I am just winging it. But I meant what I said in my email. In this family, when you hurt, we hurt. We are not perfect, we are not classy, but we are always accepting, always concerned and always love you. In your blog you kind of jumped all over everyone and I think you misunderstood my email. No one has said that they agreed with me or disagreed with me. I asked whether or not they felt it was wrong for me to write a blog. They said that writing the blog was not the problem but that I should have talked to you first before I read or commented on yours. So as far as anyone who reads your blog goes, you kind of owe them an apology.

I am going to be a little consumed in something for the next few days, so if I sound kind of edgy to any of you, it is because I am.

Since everyone else lists their favorite quotes and stuff, here is one of mine. I am sure it was said by someone else before Dave said it, but Dave is the only one I have ever heard say it.

"Life is what happens, despite what you plan." - Dave Dupler
