Rolling Around In My Head: The Bed Next Door
Rolling Around In My Head: The Bed Next Door: "Shocked. Shocking. Such an innocent picture, a bed neatly made. Such a dark meaning. We entered the palliative care unit for a visit..."

Me and Music
From my mom I got my love of Janis Joplin and The Doors.My dad gave me my love of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.As a teen of the Eighties I love Duran Duran, The Police, and INXS.I have a crush on INXS' new singer.From the nineties I love The Afghan Whigs.Still have a crush on Greg Dulli.The music I love is never cookie cutter.
Me At 40
I did something doctors didn't think I'd do..On April 7 I turned 40.Doctors didn't expect me to make it past 30.Glad I'm still here.I get to meet new people online and see my nephew grow up.Marriage and adoption are still hopes.
My Blog Against Disablism
Today is Blogging Against Disablism Day.As a woman with CP I think this is a good thing.People with disabilities rarely see themselves represented.On top of that we are told to stay in our own little society.There are those like me who want our lives to be as normal as possible.Instead of getting that we hear complaints about people, relationships, and work.We are told to be happy with the way things are when we were made fun of in school and then treated like we don't exist.We are just as human as everyone else but people see the disability before they see the person.We have to see people around us living while we just survive.We're good people once you stop staring and get to know us.
