Kelli reminded me of how much Kristen would listen to Tori Amos. Here's an unimportant story (very important to me): When Kristen would be riding in the aqua blue Jimmy with me (to dance class, school, etc) and with a copied tape in the tape deck, we would undoubtedly sing along. I would start to sing to a song (which could be anything from NIN to Dixie Chicks), then she would join in. Typically

Some things are just difficult to let go of.Sometimes I know I should be happy when I am not.I should be able to forgive when I have not always been able to.I want to not care or resent, but I do. Frequently.Cryptic. That's all I can give today.

Joe and I are about to go out to eat: Indian food. It is my favorite. With sushi and Mexican food a close 2nd, tie perhaps. He's in the shower, and I'm thinking about how much I like him. It will be a nice night. Just one, major, missing ingredient:I just wish my little Eliza girl was here with us. I wish we could all go out to dinner together (she likes the chicken tika masala). Then, we would

Eliza,I am utterly and totally missing you. I was just about to sit and write you a letter to stick in the mail. Mail is so much more fun than blogs. HOWEVER, I would not have been able to send you this funny video. I cannot believe the person filming isn't cracking up!

My rate of posting has been a little sketchy. I've been an emotional wreck with Eliza being with her mom for an extended amount of time for the first time ever. I've been stressed with school and work, and now we are in Utah for Joe's mom's wedding. I could say mother-in-law, but that is just too formal for any of my in-laws. She's getting married! I will post more about this trip when we are

Speaking of names:I didn't think much about what I would name my children until a few years ago. Until 6/26/2006 or shortly after, really. Something about my sister's death led me to thinking about getting married to Joe, officially, what I would name my children, and what tattoo I would finally get.Joe and I married because we fell in love, because that turned into a more mature lasting love,

My name is important to me, as I assume anyone's name is important to them. Michelle Claire Nielsen: the ENTIRE name is extremely important. My dad chose the name Michelle. Not because of any relative named Michelle, but simply and beautifully because it's French, and he served his mission in France. Isn't that just simple and sweet? My middle name is a bit more interesting. When my parents chose

My Eliza girl isn't here and to borrow from a friend, "I am sooooo upset about it. I am trying to be an adult about it, but I want to lay down and throw a huge fit...and then stand up and stomp my feet while shaking my fists." (Thanks Little Basque Lady). The more minor difficulty is knowing what to do when suddenly presented with time just of your own. I am not sure I want time to call my own...

Kristen and I had an argument the day before she died.It was stupid. Pointless. Over a couch. I cared nothing for the couch.The argument isn't what is bothering me. I cherish the argument, because I hold any memory of her dear. I am frightened, to death, that I can't remember the details of an argument that meant nothing.Things that meant everything included arguments along with laughs and

I've been really shitty about posting anything on my blog lately. Primarily because there just hasn't been much to post, or much that I am willing to divulge on a public blog (regardless of how few people read it).Things to be said:-on the up and up-in love with Joe-still, afraid of where life will take us-still, excited about where we will take life-missing Miss Eliza, my baby girlThings to

If I'm not down, does that mean I'm on my way up? I have not blogged. For that matter, I haven't been doing much of anything. I've been working. I've been completing some school related tasks, but am actually behind in writing my thesis. I am lazy, a total slacker, utterly worthless. I have a scholarship and don't do much of anything of late. I haven't been feeling well, and well, it seems I
