Him: You just have all the answers, don’t you.
Me: No, not all the answers. But I can Google the rest.

There’s that place on the highway–you know the spot–where the speed limit jumps from 55 to 65. That little stretch is where I sail around the curve towards freedom.
But yesterday that curve didn’t put me ten minutes from home as it usually does. It took me into a sea of brake lights. Traffic stood perfectly still.
Any other day, the delay would have driven me to madness. Yesterday I simply sighed and listened to the radio.
Without you, I didn’t feel the pull that draws me directly home every evening. There was no urgency, no rush to return to a quiet and empty house. I missed you most then, realizing that “home” is not the structure we live in. Home is where you are.

I was asked by a friend today to get the word out about her abducted dog. If you know anyone in the Connecticut area, please pass her words along. Thanks!
Viral Networking – Save my DOGGIE!
Hi,
Pardon the intrusion.
For those of you already ‘on it’ – THANKS!. To those of you just finding out, I was being a good Samaritan yesterday and pulled over to help a guy who was in a car accident last night. Turns out he was drinking and had a prior warrant out and decided to push me out of my car and steal it (with my completely useless Doberman inside).
I am SO not a Facebook/Twitter/teenporn marketing person, in fact, I refuse to have a facebook or any other social page. BUT in this circumstance I am asking for your help.
The State Police still haven’t found my dog or my car, but maybe you can.
Please post on your pages my story and this information:
Car and dog inside last seen in Ellington Connecticut on Route 30 heading South toward Tolland/Vernon at approximately 7pm March 1. License Plate 46C K03. 2004 Black Suzuki Aerio SX with Dobie and a Pitbull stickers on the back. The jerk who stole it was about 250lbs, 5’7” Italian with facial hair and partially balding or short hair, 29- 32 years old. Andre is my black and tan Dobie’s name, and he is super friendly!
Please pass this on to everyone you know to try to find my dog and/or car. And if you see the guy, feel free to throw an egg (but don’t tell him I said to do it). Karma baby!
UPDATE: Andre was found in Hartford earlier today. He is now home safe. The car is still missing.

“That’s the one,” my mother said, wiping tears from her eyes. “That’s the one.”
I had been shedding tears of my own just a few days earlier when I finally confessed a secret horror to my mother – the bridal superstore seamstresses had ruined my wedding gown. When I said the words aloud, the reality finally set in. The way it didn’t lay right anymore. The bunching and the puckering. These issues weren’t figments of my imagination. Oh my God, the alterations people destroyed my dress.
“Just breathe, baby,” my mother told me. “It will all be ok.”
Somehow, in this moment, it was all ok. The stress of a new search, the six week deadline, the lost money faded from my mind as I floated in a white cloud of tulle.
