  • Hum Drimagery

    Miss Bonnie Pants wants us to all try a little harder and blog more often to keep us connected here on xanga.

    A number of us are all palled up on facebook, but that is a different kind of net working. I tell you, though, I sometimes laugh my self silly reading all the updates and comments each day.

    Life is boring and satisfying over here at casa de queenie these days. Boring meaning nothing crazy is afoot.

    Oh yes, the occasional martini get togethers, music here and there. Life is simple.

    I work at the Gallery Cafe and I am cleaning houses.

    I make it up the hill at least weekly to kiss on my grand daughter and visit my daughter. She is a wonderful mommy and Juniper is a beautiful joy.

    I have plans and goals. My kids are doing well. I am personally making changes in my world. Slow, baby step changes.

    I am blessed with truly great friendships in my life. I am respecting those good people and finally trimming those people who I cannot regard or trust as friends. I tend to tolerate quite a bit of mess in friendships. Sometimes it is best to say no.

    So, how about pictures of our Juniper and the family? YAY!

    Out to dinner with my daughter and her girlfriends in Placerville. Little Junebug is having a girl night!

    Joc’s friend Brianna took these fab pics of Miss Thing. Look at that second picture, Bri titles this “interrupting reading my blanket book” Awesome!

    I love our beautiful family! Thank you Bri for these fabulous photos.

    I have reconnected with a friend from high school. We moved to San Francisco together back in the way bitchin’ eighties.

    She brought a photo album over of us in the day. I scanned a bunch of pics in and I will share those with you.

    I maybe should’ve done a blog on these photos but, geeze, lets strike while the iron is hot…in other words, I am blogging now. Let’s go for it.

    These are taken back in 1981, I am pretty sure, or maybe 1980.

    Laura and her brother Bruce had an apartment in downtown Sacramento that we called the No Wave Motel.

    There was a punk club in Sac called the China Wagon. We would go to shows and end up bringing musicians back to the No Wave for the night.

    All kinds of hijinx would ensue.

    These photos are of myself and my first husband, Bill. He managed cool punk bands. We knew each other all of two weeks before we tied the knot in Carson City Nevada. The photo of Laura and Carrie above in leopard print, they were our best man and maid of honor. We all moved to San Francisco shortly after.

    Trust me, I have had fun my entire life.

    ps: The hs friend I mentioned (from above photos) has invited me to Reno this weekend to see Cyndi Lauper. Do you think we have any leopard print we could squeeze into?

  • Yeah for fun!  Life is way to short to do otherwise.  Love the photos 

  • clearly you have had fun your entire life and you’ll have a lot more. culling the bad apples from time to time is a good idea. takes a strong woman to do that. also takes a srong woman to realize when a man is just not right. the pictures are wonderful… new and old and your Junebug is growing more beautiful by the day.

  • @mamahen00 - Kate, she takes my breath away! xxoo

  • You have your priorities on straight. None of us needs rotten apples in our lives when there’s a whole fresh fruit salad just waiting to be enjoyed.
    Love on your darling little grandbeauty as often as you can!
    Great golden oldie photos!

  • The 1980′s was such a strange decade. The hair and the fashions, it’ll always be the Molly Ringwald decade for me. Reno is an exciting town. (especially if Cyndi Lauper is there)

  • My, what fun photos!!!  All of them!  Most excellent, thanks for sharing!

  • I think you must have come out of the womb partying!! I imagine you’ll leave this world that way too!!

    Love the pics from the past. You got your 80s hair…cut like David Cassidy…lol..

    Didn’t your mama tell you to never pick up musicians? Geeeezzz….you’re supposed to pick up financiers!

    Widde Juniper is getting big! Love the carseat pics! She looks sooooo serious in the one…”oh yeah? who are YOU lookin’ at?” lol

  • Soooo Breakfast Club .   Love that your life is full of hum-drimagery this was great.   

    Your life sounds pretty wonderful, the kids, the good friends.  When it is like that it becomes so much easier to let go- and to see the people in our life that just don’t fit in sosweetly.  Nice reading your life this way…  damn about the angry stalking ex, people can get into such stupid choices when their ego gets a dint. xg

  • These are so COOL! I remember those daze!  this gives me an idea to scan old pix…  but it will take a lot of time so i’ll do it at some future unknown point.

    Wow, what a strange time the 80′s were.

  • @Orlando - It did not take that long but I had a project already organized in Carrie’s photo album. I had a dream with you in it this morning. But I do not remember the details, only that your sister (a much younger and brunette Darlene) was there for a moment.

  • The first photos of You,Jocelyn and Junniper are amazing . Those pictures are precious . All of you are beautiful .
    The Bri’s photos are good too .

    Thanks, Cassi,  to browse your album with us from the years 80 ‘ s . It is always moving
     Whatever the times and circumstances you always look like a mine of joy .
    I am glad you are reposting on Xanga .
    Love

    Michel

  • Love the old pictures! I agree with boring being a good thing. Sometimes exciting gets out of hand.

  • wow!  you have always been a hot-tay, Cass.  whose butt is that in the life saver?

    love the photos of your family – they are wonderful.  been missing you around here.

    j.

  • @ofunlo - thanks John. Some things have made me a scardy cat but I am back in black now. xo
