the one where my creativity runs out but my luck is just beginning

  • we got a fourth market. holy crap. we're blowin' up. see left panel for newest info. we're excited about this cambrian market because it's typically a great one during the summer. and it's a great time slot.
  • got tax return today...almost out of debt. :D
  • watched the farrah fawcett special last week. hadn't really followed her story per se but was very touched by it, to the point of bawling my eyes out. as a cancer survivor, i found it moving and honest. apparently there have been lots of critics saying that she should have addressed a broader health topic. stfu. the cancer i had is very rare (only 8000 new cases a year) and i appreciate someone bringing attention to a 'less popular' cancer (especially one that people are embarrassed to talk about). while i appreciate any and all cancer research, it gets a bit frustrating at times to realize that many (very deadly) cancers are sort of ignored. the 'pink' campaign has been HUGELY successful...but why are there so few others? anyway, loved the documentary. watch it if you get the chance.
  • talked to r/bk this afternoon. he and miss bk broke up over the weekend. i don't know any details (and wouldn't share them here if i did) but i imagine he's hurting quite badly. a part of me is (genuinely) very sad for him because i know just how awful these things can be. another part of me is desperately hoping that is just the thing that needed to happen to bring him closer to the kids again. so let me put this out there to the universe: i want him to find happiness within himself, his children, his relationships. i want him to find balance and peace and success. i want him to become the kick ass dad i believe he's capable of being. if he decides to repartner at some point (i can't imagine he won't), i want him to find someone who loves our kids and wants them around. i want this to be a turning point for him and our family, seperate but joined. let me make it (frusteratingly?) clear: i'm taking no pleasure in his hurt. i feel on some level that i should be, but honestly i'm just sad. his pain can't possibly erase my past hurt.
