2000 Infiniti Q45 for sale

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:30:36 GMT

Hey Homies,

The time has come, the walrus said, to speak of many things; of having extra cars around, bushconomies, and strings.

I am selling my 2000 Ifiniti Q45 v8 lux sedan. Super nice ride, low miles (93k), all the fancy power everything, black leather interior, champagne exterior, good tires, already invested a fortune upgrading the ignition coils (a common problem with infiniti engines), was kept garaged up until the past six months, etc, etc. it is in great condition and drives like butter melting on a pancake.

here are the specs: http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2000-infiniti-q45.htm

the jokers at carmax are selling this car for just under 11k, but i would rather sell it to one of you fine people for less. kelly blue book says the retail is more like 9000, which we all know is crap.

make me an offer for $7000 and it is yours?

let me know if you are interested because it is going on ebay in a few days!

haha thanks!

afternoon naps will be the death of me

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:54:50 GMT

taking a nap in the afternoon, no matter how desperately important it seems at the time, is always a bad idea. i have figured that 45 minutes of fitful sleep between the hours of 3:00pm and 6:00pm will almost always without doubt prevent sleep at a reasonable hour that evening and into the following day.

that being said, i'd given into said nap and am still awake.

last night, adrina had a project to complete which entailed a time line of her life. now, i am far from the scrapbooking, stay-at-home soccer mom who keeps notebooks filled with accomplishments of tooth loss and haircuts, so completing an account of the past eight years was difficult, to say the least. if not for the haphazard documentation on livejournal and flickr, it would have been at a total loss. we managed to document 24 major events.

i flipped through the past eight years of my life and was stricken with how often i remarked on misery and stress. i think back on how profound my sadness and deep my self-resentment and cannot fathom how i managed to maintain this relentless optimism and hope. my god, i worked so hard. so hard. i gave so much of myself for so long, thinking that nothing was as important as what you payed into the greater good; i was so naively sanguine about people and humanity. still today, i close my eyes and hope that i was not wrong - that what i did really mattered - that who i was really was something. these days, i close my eyes and open my hands and feel not potential but absence. i fought so hard for who i thought i was and i've lost that. the sense of self and place now feels completely foreign.

i don't know who i am anymore.

i do know one thing for sure. my darling baby girl has a mother. no amount of pride in accomplishment can replace who i am to her and what she means to me. i could not be to her what i am today if i had not left that life behind.

i don't know where to go from here.

i don't know where to go from here.

Exhibit on blindness lets you see ... nothing

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:18:22 GMT

who wants to go see this with me? i am gonna take adrina.

http://www.atlanticstation.com/press_ajc-exhibit-on-blindness.php

If you were blind, could you navigate your way around a busy city street or distinguish between a $1 bill and a $50 bill if you were trying to buy a beer at a bar?

These are some of the challenges visitors will face at a 20,000-square-foot interactive exhibition coming to Atlantic Station this summer.

Premier Exhibitions, the Atlanta-based company that brought the "Bodies" and "Titanic" shows to the city, is opening "Dialog in the Dark" in late August to give visitors a sense of what it's like to be blind.

For one hour, you'll go through a market, take a boat ride, visit a park and get caught in the middle of a busy street scene with nothing more than a guide and a cane.

Long Overdue Adrina Birthday Post

Wed, 11 Jul 2007 11:53:14 GMT

Intended to be posted on April 12th, 2007.

My darling, my Rose, my baby; Adrina. You are seven years old, no longer the baby I cradled in my arms; no longer with the clenched fists and scrunched angry nose, toothless mouth screaming, frustrated at our mutual inability to communicate. I remember holding you to my chest, both of us sobbing; mine, of exhaustion and fear; yours, exploratory and declarative in a language I could not yet understand; and I recall the calm release when I rocked us both to sleep. I was so frightened by you, this inarticulate helpless creature that I knew nothing about yet felt more deeply connected to than I did my own limbs. I don’t know if I can express how profoundly my commitment to your well-being took root of my soul, how anything and everything came second to you, my sweetest flower, Adrina Rose.

That first year, you didn’t sleep through the night once. So closely we were intertwined, you sleeping in my arms each night so that with only slightest effort could I pull you to my breast, quieting and calming your wakeful nature - so similar to my own. I was determined to give to you of this body, imperfect and often tense, for a full year following your birth. Somehow we pulled through, despite the difficulty of transitioning from working at home to suited corporate daily toil, the trials brought through my own inexperience and impatience, the teething, the fingernails, the exhaustion, and my own frequent and inexplicable sadness. On your first birthday, you had cake. I celebrated by drinking my first beer in almost two years. That night, you slept, but I did not. I awoke frightened by your stillness, in disbelief of your slumber, and woke you to calm my fears. It was then that this seed planted; that you were a babe no longer, nor my angry angel rubbing sleepy eyes at four A.M.

Although I felt as though I had just begun to understand being a mother to this baby, it struck me that I would have to learn to be a mother to this child, my child, ever evolving and challenging, my Adrina Rose. As much as I am yours, life often proves it remarkably difficult for me to grasp that I am someone’s mommy – especially someone as incredible and joyous as you. And while sometimes still, I see seven years of our life together as inconceivable as when I first learned of your impending arrival, what was life before you has faded like dim stars on the horizon of the rising summer sun. You have illuminated the shadows, bringing this dark night into the startling brilliance of your indomitable light. I could never have seen the grassy meadow without your effulgent life; my debt to you is everlasting.

I am terrified of failure, of failing you. An honest representation of the year embodies much of what I most feared, becoming less than you deserved. The year was possibly one of the most difficult of my life. Unquestionably, it was the year that I have labored most rigorously, committing unconscionably long hours to my career, refusing to “fail” despite the seemingly obvious limitations of my one imperfect self. Over the summer, there were days I did not even hear your voice, leaving for work before you woke and returning after you had gone to sleep. I do not know why I thought I could take on such great responsibilities and emerge triumphant and unscathed; I imagine it was in part because my sheer determination and work ethic had seen me through so many challenges, and I was unwilling to believe that I could be less than what was expected, regardless of how unreasonable those expectations might have been. I was so determined to prove people wrong that I undermined myself, proving that worth is not achieved through being a statistical anomaly, but by being of value to those I love.

It was heartbreaking to admit that I had failed you, heartbreaking to fix the situation. As it was when my body embraced you, I felt no choice in matter. You came first, so I abandoned the career which had given me such pride and accomplishment, joining instead an effort more worthy of my work. Beyond the situational catalyst, transitioning to nonprofit work had long been a goal, and the opportunity presented through my love for you would have been unlikely in other circumstance. Being your mommy, the five letters holding keys to a greater world, is a more incredible experience than anything I could have imagined. I give you your world and you, my darling, give me mine. I love you more than words exist, my Adrina Rose.

i am having lots of fun at mary's house. mary is teaching me all about proper etiquette. for instance; i have learned that biting the hand that feeds you is rude. also, i have learned that dust bunnies are not delicious. you will be happy to know that the kitties have been most kind. i had no idea that rolling around in their food bowl might offend, yet they handled themselves with utmost grace, and i never for a moment felt ashamed. i am fortunate to have such a hospitable environment in which to grow my social skills.

love,

pika

p.s. please send treats

p.p.s. i have pooped everywhere
