Some Kind of Monster
Well I deleted my NING Divination network tonight. All it took was 3 clicks and a password. Sigh. I've been listening and watching loud Metallica tonight. I've got their collected videos, really cool! I recommend Metallica The Videos 1989 - 2004. Indy was really cuddly tonight, she sat on me three times. Still haven't done my homework. Not much to say about that. It was Memorial Day yesterday. To celebrate my family barked at each other and ate fried chicken and potato salad. Dear old Dad would be proud. That's sarcasm for you. I'm a peace lover at heart. I guess I'll just leave it at that. This isn't a political blog. My politics are all over the map anyway. I'm pursuing my own spiritual path, but my politics is positively heretical. I don't fit into any camp there. A half-breed, half Conservative, half Liberal. I'm used to it though. I even vote sometimes. I haven't been doing so hot lately, but today was better. Like I told my cat, "If today's flavor doesn't suit you, just wait til tomorrow. Hopefully you'll get something you like better." All for now! bye

Another Day in Paradise
I'm tired, cranky, and my head hurts. Another day in paradise! I just took a shower. I'm working on designing some new Dutch Embroidery bookmarks, coffee themed. I already picked out the colors of thread and paper. I'm going to cut the paper out first, instead of embroidering first. That should make things easier. I have a bunch of homework to do too. I'm waiting for my hair to dry, then I'm going to drive to the PO and the quilt shop to pick up more DMC floss. That's for another project. Mom is coming over for bulgogi burgers tonight. I don't think my brother is coming over, hockey playoffs. In May! I had a really frustrating day yesterday, doing research. I think I took two naps. My tummy was upset too. Isn't it great when you feel better, but not that better? Rar! Dinosaur noises. All for now! bye

Zombieland
I didn't do a whole lot today. Didn't feel good and no energy. Made chili dogs for dinner, my brother came over and we watched Zombieland. Entertaining, but unrealistic, even for a zombie movie. I did some embroidery on a tote bag, a drum kit. Didn't finish it though. About 11pm I got a surge of energy, Moon in Scorpio?, anyway I started organizing and planning. It doesn't matter if my planning doesn't work out quite the way I envision, it makes me feel better. A certain friend is being more unreliable than usual. Amazing! I'm probably going to be pretty busy tomorrow if I have any energy at all. This is the last week for Runes 4. I also have a paper due for Ancient Rites, on Friday. I need to write the next proposal for Prehistory. Why aren't I tired? It's almost 12:30am. Well, I'm a little tired, but not enough to go to bed. Big sigh! bye

Classic Coral Creme
I'm painting my nails and not doing my homework. I've had two naps today. I think I'm burned out on all the extra stuff I've been doing, emotionally. I feel bad, but I think I'll have to turn in my work tomorrow. We'll see. Why do they call this nail polish a creme when it has all these sparkles in it? I've been baking. I made a lemon cake that is not as lemony as I thought it would be. Gonna bake some more tomorrow. I went swimming today, not laps or anything, just splashing around and then sitting in the hot tub. I love that hot tub! Not much else going on. I drove my car down to the jetty yesterday and played with the lights and the wipers and things. I even went through the roundabout. Easy peasy lemon squeasy! Star did not come out this weekend. Don't know if I'll see her on Saturday or Sunday or not. Big sigh... I finished another embroidery project the other day. I'll be sending off my goddess figurines. Won't that be something to get in the mail? Hee hee! bye

Charming Rose Creme
I took a long nap after dinner so I'm up. Waiting for brownies to cool off enough to eat. Made spaghetti sauce last night and had the family over for dinner. I'm doing pretty good this morning. Waiting on insurance for the car. I plan to go swimming much more than I have been. Kind of stressed out lately. Lots of changes afoot. Not sure how I feel about that. Need to pay bills and get the mail today too. Got a manicure today, but just changed the polish. Light blue is OK, but... Painted my toes too. I hope I can see U2 this summer, but that's unlikely. Sigh. I have a lot to be grateful for. I know that much. Meandering blog today. :) bye

OMG
Well, I've had a busy week. I finished my goddess sculptures and poem for Prehistory and turned that in. Yay! I did a paper for Ancient Rites and am still working on Runes 4. I am doing publicity for a lady. Mostly research, looking up addresses on the internet. I think I am hired for the summer to do baking, decorating cookies and possibly barista(ing). I need to get some good shoes! That just occurred to me. I also need to get a car. I haven't driven in a long time. I'm going a little crazy right now. This is a lot of stress for me. And I haven't even started yet. OMG. What have I gotten myself into? All for now! bye
