Unfortunately...

How about a little diversion?

I laughted out loud when I read Jenny Harris' blog Alsorts This is what she shared and I just had to try .

Here's how to play... just do a Google search of the phrase "unfortunately, _______" but put your first name in the blank (be sure to enclose it all in quotation marks). The resultant phrases are hilarious if you have a slightly twisted sense of humor and an appreciation for random absurdity.

Unfortunately, Mary has been making some public statements that have hurt her reputation

Unfortunately Mary’s headaches just began

Unfortunately Mary’s fell down before bedtime, but she sure did enjoy it while it lasted.


Unfortunately, Mary’s story doesn’t end there, as even the Reverend Mother could not protect her from cruel abuse at the hands of others

Unfortunately, Mary forgot to cook the pasta shells

Unfortunately, Mary wasn’t too bright so she went to meet her unknown, what she thought friend.

The day of hearts.

This is the poem I wrote on my first Valentine's day alone

To my Enrique on 2/14/2007

The roses have died the violets too.
My heart has been broken through and through.
Promises made that can't be kept
My head is so heavy I haven't slept
You were my love this much is true,
Now I'm lost, alone, and feeling blue
Plans we made to do together
I have to do without you, forever.
Where will I go? Who can I be?
I'm unhappy that there's just me.
The love we shared will live forever
To go on without you I must endeavor

By your wife MaryD.C.

This is a Mask I made a number of years ago. It is large and made of cloth if I was to hold it up in front of me it would cover the top half of my body. Kinda what I feel like now half a person.
I call it" Who are you? wHo? whO? Who?"
I wonder sometimes who I am now. I play so many roles daughter, sister, aunt, friend, but the one role that I wanted most of all is gone. I am no longer a wife. Some days I am OK and I know I am adjusting to a new normal just like I adjusted when I got married. It is so hard and I do not like it not at all!
