Got a Dog!
I got a dog today. Well, he’s not home with me yet, but I did go to the pound and adopt him. He’s an old pit mix, a real loveable guy with a rough exterior (cig burns, scars, etc) and a really scary look to him, but he’s the friendliest dog you’ll ever come across. Believe me. Anyway, I’ve just been going crazy looking up food and collars and stuff for the guy. I...

Finding More about Mom
I’m still learning tons more about my mom. Had no idea that she was in the military. Like, none. Crazy, right? I’m totally flipping out. My mind is blown. This woman was amazing, and she’s gone. But I still have memories, at least the memories I’m getting from what I’m learning about her. That’s something, I guess. Ah well, besides that I’ve been doing the...

Finding Friends, Finding Ourselves
Even though it still feels like I’m going through the motions as I do a people serch for my mom’s friends, I can’t help but feel like this process is reconnecting me with my mother. Like by finding people for her, I’m finding out who she is all over again. Kinda funny, huh? Not as funny as this list of Other reasons for 3 AM phone call.

Finding My Mom's Friends
The reality of my mom’s death hasn’t really sunk in. As I mentioned in my last post, she wanted to find someone, er, lots of people from her past so that she could say good-bye to them. So I’ve been doing a people search for them and finding a lot of them. And they’ve sent really heartfelt messages, but it hasn’t resonated with me yet. I’ve just passed them...

People Search for Life
Boredom is a funny thing, isn’t it? Like sometimes I’m so bored that all I want to do is search people online. Other times, I’m so bored of find person that I want to do anything else. It’s funny that being bored can mean two completely opposite things. Someone wrote to me to ask how my mother was doing since we patched things up over the holidays. Well, she’s...

Snoozefest
That’s my life right now, one big fat snoozefest. I just feel restless in my life. I’m bored with job, and I feel like I never see my friends anymore. I feel antsy, but I don’t know about what. Then I get anxiety about feeling restless and want to figure out why I am feeling this way. Maybe I should find people to help like a therapist or a hypnotist! I don’t know what to...

Peace and People Search in the New Year
Now that the holidays are over, everything is back to normal, and I am back on track with my life. My relationship with my mother has never been better. Honestly, being honest was the best thing I could I have done. She’s really been off my case and we’re able to talk on the phone and have normal human being conversations. I have just been working a lot lately. I see my friends on the...

Freedom Finally!
So, last time I posted I said I was going home for Thanksgiving to my controlling mother. When I was there she really just pushed me over the edge. I finally just exploded on her the day after Thanksgiving and got everything off my chest. I told her about how smothered I had felt and how I was an adult and needed to be treated like one. She protested at first, but when I broke down crying, I think...

Talk about controlling.....
I know I have this running theme about control, which I am definitely feeling a lot lately. I am flying back home for Thanksgiving and my mother will not stop calling me! I don’t think she understands the concept that I work and cannot answer the phone, nor talk every five minutes. She’s just stressing out about this dinner like no other. You’d think the Pope was coming to...

I'm in Control
Hey everyone, Becca back with you and back in control of her blog, no more superfluous RSS feeds, just my clear and concise posts! So I have some great people search information for you all today. People search is one of my latest likes. People search and finding people as I mentioned in my last post is so easy to do online with the use of people search engines, that is sites that are essentially...

That was out of control....
Hey everyone. I just spent like… a half hour deleting a bunch of superfluous RSS updates that I wasn’t even remotely prepared to find ruling my Tumblr when I came back today to update. I mean… seriously, I have never experienced RSS like that. Maybe it’s just me, but I was expecting like a little area at the bottom of my blog that was going to renew each day regardless...
