Metalsgirl: kicked to the curb, vol. 2
http://metalsgirl.blogspot.com/2015/02/kicked-to-curb-vol-2.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. Kicked to the curb, vol. 2. This was the second time I landed in NYC in the weeks following Christmas. No matter where you go in the city, uptown, downtown, east, west, Brooklyn, Manhattan, on every street there are the carcass's of people's Christmas trees. I am utterly fascinated by it. This is the second time I've tried to do a little photo tribute. And I love it. It makes me sad and happy. Even though it's a sad kind of beauty,. November 26, 2015 at 9:36 PM. I know it's ove...

Metalsgirl: no one wants to be Eeyore's BFF.
http://metalsgirl.blogspot.com/2014/08/no-one-wants-to-be-eeyores-bff.html
Sunday, August 31, 2014. No one wants to be Eeyore's BFF. I've been reading and reading and reading all of the wonderful posts about Robin Williams over the days since his death and the outpouring of love is truly amazing. I'm so glad that, from what I've seen, people are being respectful and kind. And the fact that this has opened up more of a dialog about mental health issues might be the one silver lining. I feel terrible for folks new to the mental health issues family (welcome! I've read countless p...

Metalsgirl: life is not for sissys. sometimes I'm a sissy.
http://metalsgirl.blogspot.com/2014/09/when-does-it-get-easier-i-find-that-i.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Life is not for sissys. sometimes Im a sissy. When does it get easier? I find that I pray a lot these days. I'm not really an organized religion person (aside from my sophomore year in high school when I became uber involved with the youth group of my local church but I'm pretty sure it was 99.9% about a boy). But now I'm praying for another reason. I'm begging for relief. My life is hard right now. Watching anyone you love get old is hard. Watching your animals get old, n...

Metalsgirl: my sweet boy.
http://metalsgirl.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-sweet-boy.html
Monday, October 3, 2011. We lost Preacher early on Thursday September 22nd. It was fairly sudden. Tom and I were with him, just the two of us. He took the hard decision out of our hands.something I will be forever grateful for and in awe of. As difficult as it was, and it was excruciating, I was able to hold my baby and feel the last beat of his heart. I've had a hard time making sense of everything. I want to be angry, but how can I be? Our first Christmas. I had no intention of being in this photo ...

Metalsgirl: January 2015
http://metalsgirl.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2015. A dingo and a pig. It's been coming. Seven turned 17 in October, Pasqual would have been 16 in January. These two stayed with me, with us, probably as long as they could. Ultimately we made the decision for them, which was the hardest, hardest part. And I say "probably" because I have that little voice in my head that says "did I do it too soon? I really just cannot fully understand that it came to this. I can't explain it, but the world doesn't feel right without her here....

Monday, August 5, 2013. It's my birthday and I've got a goodie for you! I've decided that it's time for a little class participation again. It's been ages since I've done any kind of give away. I've been doing all this new work and I just want to share it. I'm super anxious to get it out there into the world. I decided that my birthday is the the very best occasion for me to give You. Has been going. I have several new pieces that I will post to the etsy shop. A vintage fiesta cup and saucer, an itsy bit...

Mon Amy: The Tour of Infamous Brentwood Celebrity Deaths
http://amyturman.blogspot.com/2012/02/tour-of-infamous-brentwood-celebrity.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. The Tour of Infamous Brentwood Celebrity Deaths. One week ago I went on a run to Pressed Juicery. On a whim, trust me I'm not a runner. And decided to check out the famous houses that are within blocks of where I live. Now by "infamous houses," I mean residences where infamous deaths occurred. I'm not kidding - two infamous murder-suicides happened within a few blocks of where I live, and, of course, I had to check it out on my run. Posted by Amy Turman. Tiger Hugs (and other ...
