The Nightmare coming into the Daylight

Good God Almighty

2009-06-04T04:46:55Z

I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel and he has Heather Gramham on the show. She comes out and they start talking about witchcraft. She starts telling that she does "witchcraft", that she and these other people (her friends) make these wishes that come true so now they are doing "witchcraft". She said we were doing this one thing where we were honoring the elements you know earth air wind and fire... I sat that there and thought she is a fucking idiot. Is she so stupid that she doesn't realize that air and wind are the same thing?

Then she said they did a spell to get obama elected. Then they did a spell so one of her friends would get and apartment and the friends dad bought her one. They did a spell to make the wind blow and a storm came up. The more I listened the more it sounded like she watched The Craft too much. Oh and they have books. Wow isn't she smart... Oh and she did spells so she and her boyfriend would have good sex.

So here she is playing around with shit she has no knowledge of.

Viagra for baking

2009-06-02T23:18:36Z

Well I had biscuit failure last night. I'm speaking of American biscuits not British. *sigh* It's depressing when it happens. I'm thinking that maybe I needed to add Viagra to the mix. They didn't rise. Ok, maybe 100th of an inch. Maybe I mixed them too much but normal when you play with something that long it rises not goes flat. Am I losing my touch? Crap!

Tonight there will be hotdogs and french fries. Maybe I can't screw that up. Well I could now that I think about it but I hate when food doesn't come out like it was suppose to. I've only had biscuit failure one other time. Makes a person want to just use the frozen or refridgerated ones. :-(

I'm still pulling weeds along the side of the house. I hate weeds they are a pain in the buttocks.

Yeah

2009-05-31T17:52:30Z

I worked in the yard again today. Weeds are trying to take over spaces they really shouldn't be in. I did too much yesterday and cause me to have pains from the fibroids. I have to work on getting these things to shrink and go away. I would be much happier with life.

I saw two really ugly catepillars where I was working of course. One tried it's best to get on me. It dropped from the house right in front of me. It's lucky I have a no kill policy outside of the house. Okay there are a few exceptions to that rule but I do try to follow it.

We are grilling steaks tonight. Also having a yummy salad. Oh, it would be a good time to grill that fresh corn too. Hmm maybe a nice wine too. Oh the last time I had wine I wound up drinking it on an empty stomach. This led me to getting my ipod and going out to water the grass. That in turn led me to singing along with Janis Joplin and others. After tiring of watering the grass I walked around the house for a while then layed down on the drive way to sing to the sky. The sky enjoys, The Stones, The Beatles, Fleetwoodmac, Janis Joplin, Animals and so forth. It was a need to lay down before I trip over my own feet. I don't know how long I lay there but Joey (my Jack Russell) kept watch over me, when I opened my eyes C was sitting behind me just watching. Wonder if he thought I was in pain instead of singing. lol I had fun anyway. Something I had forgotten was that when you stand up the world moves a little differently. I enjoyed myself.

I look out the back door and see how lush the woods look. It's such a great feeling to have it so close and beautiful. When I look out any of the windows at the back of the house I see trees, lush lovely trees. There are just so many shades of green honestly it can't be duplicated. *sigh*

My thoughts

2009-05-27T23:42:08Z

These are my thoughts. Therefore I don't care what anyone else thinks. So if you don't like it don't read it and don't reply. Simple.

Who gives a crap about Jon and Kate? I mean really. They are making money off of being nother more than her being like an animal and having a litter instead of being like a human. Same thing with the octomom. I refuse to watch any show about these idiots.

This supreme court justice nominee. I personally don't care what her racial makeup is. I do care that people are making a huge deal of it all. When are we going to stop segretating each other by putting a race infront of American? If you are born here then you are an American. That's simple enough to understand. Then I understand the statement she made about the white male but yes it comes across as sexist and racist. Guess what, if a white man had said something similar people would be up in arms. If goes for all those of different races. If you don't want people saying bad things about your race then don't say it about others.

My hopes for the country is that people learn to stop separating themselves by race.

You know what is so strange is when you realize that everyone is getting older even though you don't want them to. Recently while driving down the road with C I saw my youngest shooting a scene with his dad. As we drove by C said I thought you said the ex has dark hair. My response was yes. C's response he had a lot of grey. I sat there and said well he is, and this is where I stopped to do the math. Wait no he can't be 51. Well damn he IS 51. Which cause me a satisfied snort that the ex was getting older. Then I was sitting there thinking wait, I'm on my way to that too. lol That was about all thought I gave it. Then I got home and was watching a bio on the Rolling Stones. Holy cow! They are getting old! lol Yeah, somewhere in my brain I have put a stop on age, I like it that way. Then yesterday I was speaking with a lady who said her youngest was 24, well mine is 21. Where did time go? Well who really cares?

There is so much that is running through my mind lately. I think I need some time to just be quiet. My mind has been running 90mph. I really do need to start mediating. I feel good so that's not it. It's just too much stuff, my head might explode.

I may add more to this later.

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday

2009-05-20T01:02:27Z

So today we went to see a couple of movies. Star Trek and then Angels and Demons. I really loved Star Trek. It was so much fun and well I just really really liked it. Angels and Demons, it was okay. I think DaVinci Code was better. If I had the following three choices (see it at the theater, watch it on DVD or wait until it hits the movie channels) about Angels and Demons, I'd wait for it to hit the movie channels. In Star Trek I found that Bones was someone that is drool worthy. Such a cutie. Honestly I think they did a great job on it. If a third Dan Brown book is made into a movie I won't waste the money to go see it at the theater. I do have to say this though. I felt that Vatican City was both beautiful and ugly. We went to the Carmike theaters because they had a deal on popcorn and a drink. It's false advertisement. It's a very small bag of popcorn and a 15oz drink even though they claim it's 16oz.

That's all for today. I thought I had more to say but I can't remember what.

What's up with me

2009-05-16T15:18:19Z

So to catch up on life.

My SIL's mother passed away earlier in the week and was buried yesterday. She was buried in the same cemetary that some of my kinfolk are buried in so we went to visit them. Dad made me promise (many years ago) to never forget where his baby sister was buried. So I had to find her grave again. Found his other sister's grave also. They aren't to far apart. We then went to visit dad's final resting place. Personally I hate going there and don't if I can help it. Cemetaries are for dead bodies.

Life goes on.

We've made plans to go see a couple of movies with the boys this coming Tuesday. So I'll get to spend some time with them. I don't see them much anymore. Thinking about moving away because they don't need me to be here for them. It's not like I see them that much anyway. Not even phone calls really. If they want to call they can.

Still life goes on.

My foxglove is blooming and is really pretty. The seeds planted are still small but they are doing fine. We have a tomato on the tomato plant. lol Lots of flowers on the plants so we should have lots of tomatoes.

So, that's what's up with me.

My free speech

2009-04-29T23:20:14Z

It may be safer and more effiecent for me to write here than facebook. Ok, too much wine and I'm feeling extra fine.

Ummm.. So I'm sitting here and Chuck gave me instruction of the pressure cooker. Meaning how longer and all that, probably 2 minutes ago and I am confused on the instruction. Wait..... Okay he said 17 minutes and then turn it down. Damn Did he mean let it rock fast for 17 minutes or let it just cook for 17 minutes. Crap.

He is in the kitchen still so it's oke. If he goes upstairs then I'll worry.

You know what? The news sucks. I don't give a shit about michelle obama, I don't give a shit about the pres. I and really don't give a shit about their kids or dog. How the hell does that get to be such big news. I mean really does it matter what fucking dog they have and how they are getting slong with it? Does that affect the country, not in the fucking least. Dumbasses.

I don't like the pres plain and simple. I'm glad that those of you that do, do. But I don't trust him, he is a fucking politician and they lie, every single one of them. Self serving bastards and bitches. I don't care if he is a democrat or republican, that doesn;t mean shit to me.

Then that stupid fly over NY. That was the most ridicualous waste of government money I've seen in a day. Yeah the rest of the money being spent is bullshit. They need to stop just dumping money into these dumbass companies that need to fail because they don't care about us, the people that buy their products. They fuck us every chance they get and what do we do but freakin smile about it. I don't give a shit that he is half black, yes please let's not forget he is not completely black. My god, I'm so fucking tired of the policital crrect bullshit I can't see straight. It doesn't matter what color a president is and they shouldn't be elected because of their color. They should be fucking elected because of what they will do to help KEEP our country free. We have a constitution that needs to be protected from Democrats and Republicans. Both sides think it's ok to ignore it.

Fuck the politicians.

Gods my mouth is dry and I'm drinking a lot of water. Crap. My head feels like it might want to hurt. Where is my excedrin?

If you don't liek what I write too fucking bad this is MY LJ not yours. I don't piss on your opinions so leave mine the fuck alone. Don't fucking get me started right now. My face is numb from the wine and I'll feel bad if I say anything mean to any of you that I call my friends.

sitting in my nowhere land

2009-04-29T02:14:15Z

Today was pretty uneventful and unproductive. I did nothing but water the new grass. Well besides clean up the kitchen. I watched several movies today. I had never seen Driving Miss Daisy. It's a cute movie.

I've decided that Tuesday are a sucky tv night. It's a shame when you have over 250 channels and there isn't crap on. I really do like History, National Geographic and such channels as those. At least you feel like you've learned something.

Lawn Maintenance & Stuff

2009-04-27T17:18:56Z

Yeah I'm not big into that. So I was out cutting the grass because it was, wait did I say grass? I meant weeds. Anyway I was cutting stuff in the front yard and was getting over heated. I came in and decided I'm a red face. lol My face was really bright red, so now I'm inside cooling off. I still need to weed eat and blow off the driveway but that can wait for a bit. The garage needs to be cleaned out. I think a bomb went off in it when I wasn't looking. The vehicles need washing and cleaned inside. Joey, the dog, needs and bath. Of course being a Jack Russell he loves the water. So I'll probably bathe him outside so he can fight the water hose.

At some point, soonish, I need to repaint the front porch. The painters used the cheapest, and crappiest paint they could find apparently as it's chipping and peeling.

The tomato plants are looking good. The grass I planted seems to be doing well.

Marvin, the cat has been a nut today. I swear sometimes I wonder if he has a secret stash of cat weed I don't know about. He has been streaking around and attcking Joey every chance he gets.

I just thought about something. I've got some flower seeds I need to get into the ground now! I don't think it ever ends.

Yep

2009-04-25T02:03:44Z

Nothing new going on in my world but life is good. I still need to sell a house of three maybe 10. Chuck's good, the boys are good, mom is good, sis and brother are good.

I have found an addiction, well two. I've been having fun with facebook and now pogo. Sheesh!

Yesterday Chuck and I planted 2 more tomato plants. Finally planted a rosebush I've had for two years and a peach tree. Oh and some rosemary.

I've been having interesting dreams.

That's about it for me.

Fun was had by all

2009-04-05T00:26:48Z

My brother called yesterday evening and said S and I want to take you and Chuck out to dinner. I said ok and we went. Then we went for drinks at this bar. We had a great time and I probably drank to much but I could walk and I wasn't slurring my words, so maybe it wasn't too much. lol We got back late (2:30ish) and went straight to bed. Unfortunately my back decided that it was through with being in bed. At 6:00 I woke up and just drifted in and out for about 45 minutes before I said fine I'll get up. Chuck got up around 8:30 wondering why I was up so early. So we ate a little bit of breakfast and then became couch potatoes. We took a nap for about an hour and then up again.

I'm tired but can't get myself to relax enough to have another nap. *sighs*

Updating on Life

2009-03-30T15:49:41Z

I got married this morning! I really did. We went on Friday and got that marriage license and had made up our minds then that we would get married today. So this morning we were off to the court house early. Nice and early. The judge was really a nice guy and it was a good feeling saying I do to Chuck.

So there is my life update.

The Good, The Bad, but no Ugly

2009-03-27T02:20:28Z

Well the good news is we are getting our marriage license tomorrow. We decided today to go ahead and go for it. We had already decided to get married but we hadn't set a date until today. I'm excited about it. We are shooting for Monday. Hopefully the stars will be aligned for it. ;-)

Then I have this worry and concern that is killing me. My youngest has decided that he wants to be a police officer. Now those who know my family would say well that's great. My dad was a police officer, my ex-husband was a police officer and several cousins were police officers. However that is why it worries me so. It's not that I doubt my youngest's ability to be a great officer but he is a kind and gentle soul. I'm so torn on this. I want to be proud of him and show him support, which I am proud of him and I'm showing support but my heart is hurting. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised that he would choose this as a profession though. He has been working wrecks with his dad for 4 years. My only hope is that he will go on the STEP Unit very quickly.

It seems in my life lately that things come to me like this. I will get good news and then some that weighs heavy on my heart. Or, I get the heavy news and then good. The balance of good and bad, so to speak.

Blame it on Home Depot

2009-03-23T13:55:37Z

It's true. Day before yesterday we went to Home Depot for their 99 cent a bag of mulch and got 20 bags. Saturday was such a busy day that I wasn't able to do any yard work. So Sunday when I got up I decided that I was going to put the mulch out. I had to dig up all the grass in the area I wanted the mulch. I decided to rake the yard in that area too. Then I went and pulled some weeds. They are taking over my yard. I have to get some weed killer. I did take a break and had a sandwich and watched the race but not the end of it. lol This morning I'm sore. My lower back hurts, the back of my legs and my forearms. It was worth it though, the area looks so much better. Now I need to get grass seed and straw. The side yard looks terrible.

I would like to plant a garden on the side of the house. It gets a lot of sun and it's close to water. Of course I would need to figure out how to keep the animals out of it.

Things

2009-03-19T13:47:30Z

It's starting out to be a beautiful morning. Chuck made coffee and it's really good. There is a bit of nip in the air. That nip just seems to be filled with promise. There is just something about pre-spring and spring time that makes all things seem possible.

Yesterday turned out to be a great day. We got two tomato plants planted. I sprayed some weeds (too many to just pull) and some unwanted grass.

I've got a ton of laundry to do today. The sheets need to be changed. Need to clean the floors and spruce up the kitchen. So there is enough to do today yet here I am on the computer. Hold on, going to throw a load of laundry in. That didn't take too long. I need to finish putting things up in the bedroom I do have stuff that needs to go to the basement, and stuff to take up to my ritual room (which I still haven't got set up). I need to clean the carpet in Michael's and the ritual room. At least this is stuff that doesn't have to be done right away.

I need to re-seed the yard. The side and back yard need a lot more grass. I still need a lot of pine straw to put out. There is a lot of things I'd like to do but I just don't want to right now.

Bored and watching TV

2009-03-06T17:25:49Z

Ok, so I'm REALLY bored and I've been watching Maury and Jerry Springer ( I feel dumber for admit that). Now how much of a whore do these girls have to be to not know who the father of their baby is? Stop spreading your legs if you aren't going to use birth control, don't leave it up to the guy! GAWD! Then for those guys that have 10 babies with different mothers, have your freakin nuts cut off! Take a sex education class. Again, women use birth control. I feel sorry for the kids. Poor things having to go through life not knowing who their father is cause their mom is a whore. Yes she is a whore if she can't figure out who the dad is.

Then what is it with the women on Springer showing their boobs? I mean what happened to having some dignity? I couldn't even began to speak on the people that are on the show. I truly hope it's all a set up because I'd hate to think there are folks really that stupid.

I'd say cell phones. Yes I have one and I do use it often. However it's the text messaging that drives me crazy. It's taught people not to spell out words. When they write in emails they are too lazy to type out "for" so they put 4. I'm mean how much trouble is it to learn to spell?

Today was eventful. I fought with my roses and it was a tie. I managed to cut them way back and they managed to shred my hands with their thorns. I cussed them many times and laughed as I had the last word. At least so far I've had the last word. I still have to go back out and cut the other bushes that are close to the roses.

C and I sat outside and shot the bb gun (the famed you'll put your eye out) Red Ryder. It was fun and reminded me how bad my eyesite has gotten. We came in and C fixed dinner, which was lovely.

On the female side of things I've been hurting for the past few days and lo and behold it's back. I wonder how long I can take provera to keep it at bay? I'm feeling cranky but I'm trying not to let it take over my life.
