dark, dark, darker…

August 22, 2008 Leave a Comment

Seems like just yesterday (couldn’t think of anything clever-er) that I was feeling so incredibly mellow, sitting here in the very early summer a.m. – when the sky was that deep-but-bright-saturated-blue. You know, around 4:30-ish? and there’s like 1 bird chirping? Probaby the longest day of summer. Early sunrise and late sunset. Compared to today. 5:15 and it was still dark. I just now noticed there’s no birds chirping? What’s up with that? and it’s 6:45? well that’s weird.

Anyway. Makes me sad. So damn fast and summer is gone. Oh sure, I know that there are plenty of warm days left. But no more early dark blue mornings. But you know what made me quite happy after the sad thoughts? Of course after summer is fall, and then comes winter, and guess who does not have to slosh out in the freezing, 5 feet of snow-blizzard scrape-off-her-car and almost get-in-an-accident-driving-to-work-weather any longer??? *ME* mememememe! yippee. So that helped me to feel better.

FacebookOne more thing. I fell prey to Facebook. Yup, sure did. And it’s all Krishanna’s fault. I really never paid attention to any of those “social networking” dealies, but I gotta tell ya, sure is addicting… at least for me it is. You know how you get in there and see one friend, which leads to 3 more and on and on… had to get out of there.

Ok, gotta go! ah, I hear a couple of birds now, but it really is kind of empty out there…

Fortunate in so many ways

This morning on one of the a.m. talk shows they had a librarian who was describing a program for kids at our library, to encourage reading, to get children interested at an early age and so forth. I thought back to my own childhood, and one of my earliest memories is lying in bed next to my mom while she was reading a paperback, with just the little light reflecting on the pages before I fell asleep.

Jennie is reading a book to Poo-BearI cannot imagine growing up without books. Without reading ALL of the time as an adult (before pc I hate to admit). Reading has made me more knowledgeable about subjects that I would never know about otherwise and that’s just from reading fiction! Reading has made me a good speller, a smarter person and taken me to places out of this world.

How sad not to have a role model to teach a child how much fun it is to read. How tragic not to know that what’s inside a book cover has the ability to absolutely change your life forever. It blows my mind. Thank God for people like that librarian, and anyone like her who cares and has the patience, tolerance, and essentially, a “calling” to do such meaningful work.

Seriously, do you think it would just be easier for me to set up a new site with an updated version of WP? Not just to update WP, but to start *clean* so to speak. I don’t have a problem doing it here, but then I have all of the junk stuck all over the place, folders here, pictures there… heaven only knows what’s what anymore, ya know? Then I could just do the “ok, I’m over here now… change your bookmarks blahblahblah”… or something like that.

ya, that’s what I’m gonna do I think. We’ll see. Besides, I still have a domain name that was inspired by a certain someone a handful of years ago that’s just sittin’ there (yes, along with about 50 others – but I’m better than I used to be, honest), soooo I think I will. Stay tuned.

KittyKitty isn't inhalingOMG. 3 days from now. Are you aware of the significance of that day(s) in history? (of course I know that most of my readers are). Yup, 39, THIRTY-NINE people, years ago was Woodstock.

I’m so excited because once again VH1-classic will air the original movie, Saturday & Sunday. I guess next year for the 40th Anniversary, Warner Home Video is planning the Ultimate Collectors Edition DVD of the event ($$$). Groovy.

Anyway. Peaces n’ Luv. Swimming is starting now.

cooking n’ stuff

December 9, 2007 1 Comment

I’m not really a Rachael Ray fan – at least when I watched her show when it first started. But there’s what I imagine to be her regular cooking show on right now, and I think she’s ok. Pretty normal-ish…

I’m watching a cooking show you ask in wonderment? But of course. Actually, I’ve been snooping around my recipes of old, and checking out some of the Food Channel shows (I’m way out of touch – last time I watched cooking shows, Graham Kerr was one of my favs… is he still alive?). ANYway, I’m feeling rather domestic these days and thinking about cooking and eating healthier. Well, cooking – period. Mainly because as I remain smoke free, I feel the need to DO something to replace a ciggie. Food. And it stinks and I don’t want that to keep happening, ya know? So that’s the poop about cooking.

OH, and you know what else? I am weaning myself off of caffeine. Yes, really! I’ve been told that even though caffeine suppresses your appetite initially, it ultimately increases it later on (but I chose to ignore the message at that time).

Funny thing… when you start to do a few good things for yourself (as opposed to talking about doing it and not), it kind of has a domino effect on other things in your life. Ever notice that? Quit smoking? Feeling healthier? Well, maybe I should eat better… heck, maybe I should even exercise more (ha, more?). But you know what I mean, yes?

One more thing you must go and look at. Yes, another silly cat video, but for some reason, it cracks me up every time I watch it. The person recording the cat wrote a few words on the screen to suggest what the cat is saying, or at least, what it kind of sounds like. This cat says what sounds like “really?” Really. And it has permeated my brain! Seriously. Anytime anyone says “really” in a conversation, I think of the cat’s voice. “Really? Real… Really?” ha. Go see.
Really.
Luv y’all.
xoxo

*see previous post*

 

bye.

 

ok, so I’m silly. Actually, I do feel pretty giddy. I started the Chantix 3 days ago, and whether it’s just timing on my part, everything is going well. By everything, I mean my ‘eating better’ mode. Last week I also decided to get serious about watching what I eat again. Seems like lately – last 4-6 mths actually – I have been addicted to grainy bread and sweets. No, still don’t buy junk food, but it’s EVerywhere at the hospital!

You know how that is – people bring in donuts, candy, cookies… junkjunkjunk! Of course, my co-workers all tie me down and force feed me.

But besides that, I see my future without ciggies – soon. Go me! (Lisa, I have my “quit meter” ready to go up again!)

Hey, did anyone else cry at the end of “Desperate Housewives?” Poor little possum.

All of a sudden I don’t feel like talking anymore.
Nice to see y’all.
xoxo
