What is on your mind

[Mr Nice Guy]

I really really really don't want want to go to work tomorrow. Sucks!

[sylvie]

A phone conversation with a gal pal of mine tonight -

She really is one of my most wonderful friends...i work with her & went to school with her back in Elementary School days.. She called to tell me, that if i lose another 20 lbs, shes taking me out shopping and i'm losing the baggy clothes.. i told her of my green pants burning ceremony that Mtn is having when i bring them to Oregon with me, they're His fave pants of mine....
:|

i'm still so self conscious about my body - but she is one determined girl and ahh her positive spirit and encouragement was lovely, really. It was nice to catch up with her OTHER than work related things.. Her crush, our children, my upcoming trip to Oregon & she loves my happiness these days.. All of my friends love my happiness, and they sooo can't wait to meet Him..

girl gabbing is SUCH fun, :awww:

[Sassy]

Sagittarius: Yesterday's uncertainty gives way to a new wave of confidence today that is bolstered by your friends. Instead of struggling to justify your choices now, all you need to do is show up and others seem to approve. The positive feedback may seem puzzling at first, but don't waste energy wondering what's going on. Instead, be grateful for your support network and focus on your plans for the future.

[Skittlesluver]

Looking forward to a wonderful evening with a friend and a special person who has made this week more pleasant :candle:

Awww man, I just heard Whitney Houston died. They didn't say why yet and broke over Charlie Brown to say she has died at 48 years old. How truly sad. She had such a beautiful voice and she could act too. I was so rooting for her comeback, she was so talented. Sadness, but I pray she is in a better happier place, perhaps singing with the angels and at peace. Long sigh.....

This is on my mind….

Last week I got a message on a dating site I have a profile on; I was intent to send the standard reply of: “Thank you for your interest. I’ve just started dating someone and seeing how it goes. I wish you every success, etc, etc.” ….Only, the message is from a woman I went to school with; she was always hetero, or so everyone believed.

She asked if we could chat, as she’s lost some friends since the break up of her relationship a year ago and finds Cornwall a little isolating. Whilst I understand how she feels and I'm happy chatting and reminiscing on old times, etc,….intuitively something isn’t right; I can’t say what. I know in time I’ll find out, so, I’m keeping all contact with her strictly to the dating site. I have explained that I’m dating and it’s still early days.

The messages sor far have been about school....who married who.... where they live....what they've done and a little about her life sincing leaving school.

I’ve asked for advice on how to handle this from my English cousin, K and some close friends, as it’s not one I’ve encountered before. The general opinions are to continue chatting with her on the site, that way should she turn negative, the site Customer Services can deal with it and read any messages.

Just thinking about what needs to be done today, thinking about the things I need to get because instead of a Hamster.. my daughter has convinced me to get her two guinea pigs.. am i insane? :praying:

[JustLovelyJenn]

My mind is quite a scary place to navigate lately... with roadblocks, detours, deadly cliffs and winding roads... broken bridges and dangerous hazards... the effects of some disastrous storm waging inside my head.

It has been my chore these last few weeks to try and make my way through it a bit... find the core of the storm... and stop any further destruction...

I have sought the help of others, made lists, and implemented changes in my life... things are getting better again, but the challenge seems vast some days...

I know that others say that I am doing well, but I suppose I just expect more then that from myself.

[funkyfemme]

My Mama is currently on my mind. I found out yesterday that she's in the hospital and will be for 5-7 days. We are somewhat estranged at the moment but have always been very close so this is especially hard. We swapped a few texts yesterday about whether I need to go home and take care of her. We will make that decision after her week in the hospital. I just feel so alone and very scared for her.

[Dominique]

I'm not positive where I got my *brownie* at. Even back then, it was called a point and shoot. With it's faux, but tasteful, leather wrappings. In between I played with some off brands, like the polaroid and the 110 spy camera, that produced grainy pictures. I did love the instamatic with the four flash *cube*. Hearing Kodak was closing the doors on the Camera productions made me take a look at my collection over the years. Flash devices and 35 mm win by far. I even have a few of the familiar yellow and red film boxes. Unopened. Not sure what I was waiting on. ASA's from 100 to 400, pretty standard. Also a stash of empty film containers. Laughing, a few are tin. There is a time line here. It gives me a new meaning to the words KODAK MOMENT.

As a photographer, I appreciate the old cameras and collect them also. Thanks for this post. Made me think it was time to pull out some of my collection including the old "Brownies" and appreciate the history. I really like the old "vest pocket" cameras.

[nickster]

Classic vest pocket cameras!

What I should have woke up too... *chuckles*

[Sassy]

Sagittarius: Social activities are fun, but you may grow bored with shallow communication today. Fortunately, this is a great day for spiritual renewal and your beliefs can guide you through a complex situation. You could even remember something from your past that deepens your convictions. However, you aren't required to share your inner experience with anyone now; there's no need to explain where your inspiration comes from. Simply aim the arrow of your intentions high without settling for less.

[luv2luvgirls]

I'm in a mood to hide with a good book today and not have to deal with the cold weather or the gray office walls.... If I could pull a book from my shelves today it would have to be something by Carey. I'm hungry for her lyrical writing style and vivid descriptions of beauty and grace.

“I would that I could have stopped time and preserved that day forever. It was a perfect day. There was the shadow of sorrow, yes. It would always be there. But that was the nature of life. The bright mirror and the dark, reflecting one another. And today there was so much brightness.”
― Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Mercy

Smell her hair ...

[Massive]

I should've gone to bed hours ago, yet I'm still sitting here trying to find something to distract me.

[Laerkin]

That I'm pissy right now.

[spritzerJ]

Many, many things... mostly I am thinking about how vulnerable feels strong more and more often.

And learning about love... more about what it feels like for me. Which is self centered, a bit, to say I suppose. Not how to help others feel it or what love isn't but what it is. Like on the heart's list of what love is.. the what it isn't side is finally filled up and the light shines on the what it is part. And damn if it isn't crystal clear...just what it is..

[GPS]

looking for some real friendship

[1QuirkyKiwi]

I got an PM from fellowess mod on another forum, asking me why I hadn't replied to her earlier email....ummm....ooops! It must have been amongst all the other forum meassges I got that day and didn't see it, soooo, I hit the delete button them as I'd read them on the forums.

What is on my mind now id; how many other emails have I deleted from people and haven't realised because they got 'lost' amongst the other messages....I guess I'll find out when I get an email *nudge* to tell me, lol!

So many things, I may be overwhelmed.

[Countyfem]

So last night I'm back to work after a week off only to find out big changes are round the corner. As they have already sent tons of our work to Manila my coworkers and I wonder how long we will be employed. I feel blessed to have held this job for the last 12 years and two takeovers and had hoped to retire with them..but guess I'll deal with what may come.

[girl_dee]

Take out chinese and a silly movie tonight with my loves and pups....

[Cid]

I was getting dressed this morning and cringing about the 8 pounds that I want/need to lose. Then it hit me that if that's the worst problem that I have, it's not that bad.

A friend of mine called earlier and told me that he may be losing his job. I felt so bad for him and tried to tell him about his options and that he has support. But I guess if I were in his shoes I'd be in a panic too.

So, now I'm counting my blessings and pushing myself to look at what's important. If I have the extra weight it means that I have food in the house and I have a roof over my head. It could be so much worse than a few extra pounds.

[Point~Of~No~Return]

The things that are on my mind

How you have to experience such enormous amounts of pain so you can finally enjoy the good things that happen to you no matter how remotely small they are. You can appreciate and cherish these things or people.

If someone tells you you'll never make it, they tell you this because their fear and their own insecurities and they're scared of being alone and left behind.

If someone tells you you're ugly, it's really not about you it's about how they feel about themselves.

If someone tells you no one will love you or accept you for you, that's really how they feel about themselves and it's their inner issue not yours.

How you should never give up, even if others only want to see you fail. Prove them wrong.

No idea is a stupid idea, that it may take time but do what you can do today and keep on working on what you want to achieve for the future.

That even when you're faced with negativity, do not allow it to bring you down, that's what others want. Remain positive and keep reaching for your dreams and aspirations, you can do it, you just have to keep the faith in yourself.

Surround yourself with positive people. It's easier to fall into the negative and give up than struggle and keep going forward. Only you can prevent yourself from reaching for the stars and making your future the best it can be.

Weed out the acquaintances and keep your real friends by your side. Because those that care will always matter and those that don't will only be a step from walking away, using you, or abusing you.

Never wish harm on anyone. Their Karma will be what they do to you, your Karma will be how you respond.

Always laugh, no matter the amount of pain or the intensity of the situation. Laughter is healing, within your mind, your body, your heart, your soul and your spirit. Be the best for you.

Never compromise your personal safety, security, or anything about yourself for someone else.

[Sassy]

Sagittarius: The Moon's visit to your sign makes it tougher to separate your personal needs from a situation that demands objectivity. You might not even realize that your feelings are coloring your perceptions. But you can tell that interactions with others are complicated by powerful emotions that make calm conversation difficult. Everything seems more stressful now, yet diving into the complexities will get you closer to the truth and teach you something important about yourself in the process.

[SomethingBeautiful]

I'm so fucking flighty today. My mind is racing in circles over the most random things. Currently I'm being distracted by several thoughts at once: Have the flyers arrived? I wonder what I should have to eat? Did I put rainboots on the Easter list? If I did I guess I should remove them. I want chocolate. I hope my babez is feeling better. Maybe chocolate would help? I wonder if there's chocolate on sale this week. And repeat.

[Mr Nice Guy]

I wonder if there's a magic ball that will tell me when I'll meet my soulmate. Hmmm, I wonder? :)

[spritzerJ]

all the moments in between now and forever don't change the right now. that by phone, message or exhausted sigh this is the place to lay it down.

[TimilDeeps]

On my mind is why the hell does my nose feel like I have snorted a pound of pepper.

[Mr Nice Guy]

I need a love charm to wear around my neck. One that will attract Femmes. Can one really be made and does it work? I'm willing to try because it's been 5 years and I think ready to bring in new friends and slow love. I feel the itch.

[sharkchomp]

I've been thinking about how some commercials really get on my nerves. Three come to mind. The first is the El Paso taco shells. When they put the ingredients in the shells they use they annoying sound effects. Really? I've made tacos before and can't remember hearing any noise. I don't know why the sound effects bother me but they do. The second is the damned kit kat commercials. I've broken up a kit kat before. It doesn't make any noise. WTF? Every time I see the commercial I want to change the channel or hit mute. And why would loud crunching noises make me want to buy a kit kat anyway? And the third are those commercials for natural gas where they have some foreign sounding person say "natural gas" at the end of the commercial. Honestly, a foreign accent doesn't do much for me. :eyeroll:

[spike]

I am thrilled that even though she just wants to be friends, I still had a very awesome Valentines dinner and evening with her. She is amazing and even though we will just be friends, she is going to be a friend that I cherish forever. It doesn't hurt either that she thinks I am amazing.

[Heavenleahangel]

I am thrilled that even though she just wants to be friends, I still had a very awesome Valentines dinner and evening with her. She is amazing and even though we will just be friends, she is going to be a friend that I cherish forever. It doesn't hurt either that she thinks I am amazing.

[Sassy]

on my mind ... Sagittarius ...

Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 -- You might believe that your time is running out, which can provoke you to take an unnecessary risk. You may be concerned that anything you do now is too little or too late. Although your fears could be unfounded, consciously moving in the right direction is a smart idea while the Moon is still in your sign. You would be wise to begin your new journey today and build on your current actions over the weeks ahead.

Friday, Feb 17, 2012 -- You might have to stand up to a powerful adversary today because your plan is contrary to the accepted one. Unfortunately, your friends or co-workers may be too quick to take the easy way out of a difficult situation. However, they don't understand how stubborn you can be now as you adhere to your values over convenience. Although your unwavering idealism is admirable, you can take things too far. Don't be so obstinate that you cannot see the goals you already have in common.

[Sassy]

Sagittarius: Saturday, Feb 18, 2012 -- You would like to step off the emotional roller-coaster today, but ending your ride prematurely isn't wise because your life is about to get a lot less difficult. Holding on through all the ups and downs earns you success now as things begin to smooth out. But if you miss all the excitement, just remind yourself that it's only a distraction. Your perseverance goes a long way to bringing you what you want.



.............. o.0 ................ That's interesting. I could stand for life to get less ... flaky? ... To attain some kind of clarity, feel as if I've some successes. Heck, I'd settle for some direction, seeing something stable approaching in my future. ... Somehow I don't think all of that will arrive on my doorstep in the morning. But hey! I'm willing to be open-minded and prepared. If opportunity knocks, I'll greet it in my fuzzy slippers and offer it coffee. *LOL*

Snuggling in for a movie!

[sylvie]

some dear friends & family of mine..
How much i've missed having special people in my life..
Having people to rely on, having them trust in me, conversations, laughs..
Fun memories, those little things that just make you smile..
the support & understanding, and just knowing someone is in your corner, rooting you on..

Today, when i attended the self-esteem Graduation of 9 courageous women, one of the 9 women turned out to be a very dear friend of mine.. Within my addiction, i pushed her away along with many other people in my life - seeing her, catching up and the frigging happiness of just knowing she understood.. After giving my speech, and i sat down, she shared something very powerful with the room about her own Recovery and then she let me know i was sent to her for a reason and it just really feels so good to be this far in my recovery and to be embracing my friendships and family again..

Once i work through this guilt, and find some forgiveness - and once i make amends, the peace of mind will be so welcomed & then i'll be taking huge strides forward on this journey of mine, i just know it... Lots of work ahead.. But, surrounded with people i love & who love me, powerful stuff.♥

My mother and sister have opted out of coming down this weekend for my dress fitting. My sister forgot to inform me of this - I just found out on Facebook when she mentioned extended family coming down to visit them.

I've gotta say, it hurts. Do they really not care, or do they think they're doing me a favor letting me coordinate everything? Who am I going to be able to count on the day of the wedding when I am then busy -getting- married?

There's a lot on my mind lately... a list... and every day I have to prioritize it... today... its sitting a little like this.

1. Clean the damn living room.
2. Have you read your book for lit yet?
3. Two days without kidlets
4. I wonder if his therapist called Seattle Childrens... maybe I should call too.
5. Clean the damn living room... even if you don't want to.
6. More reading... DON'T FORGET...
7. Did you put the batteries in the alarm on to little ones door yet?
8. psst.... Living room still isn't clean
9. V is coming over to have her hair cut tonight.
... yeah... it keeps going...

[sylvie]

something that was read at the Graduation Ceremony yesterday, and i really liked it so thought i would share:

I am Me -
my declaration of self-esteem.

In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me -
everything that comes out of me is authentically mine,
because I alone choose it - I own everything about me - my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions,
whether they be to others or to myself .

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears -
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me - by so doing I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts -
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know -
but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.

However I look and sound, whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me - If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turned out to be unfitting, I can discard that which I feel is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded -
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.

I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive,
and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me -
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me -
I am me &

I AM OKAY

Thinking about our toilet, and more specifically our house. Its a little draining some times. Every time I turn around after fixing something, or resolving something with the house, it feels like there is something else wrong. I'm investing a lot of time into it, and I don't even know if in the long run she will sell it to us.

I'm trying to make it a positive experience, because I am learning home improvement things as I go along, but i have to wonder if it should be this hard? Perhaps I am just used to either living in my parents house, where everything just worked, or living in my own apartments where a regular maintenance crew always made sure everything was good.

All I know is that it is a bit frustrating, and tomorrow I will be going to Lowe's and buying a toilet handle/lever and hopefully resolving yet another issue.

Sometimes when one takes on a role that involves another, it is necessary to keep communication open and flexible and to know that there is no blame, shame or guilt necessary or involved for things to have a healthy loving outcome.

[Sassy]

Sagittarius: You would be wise to keep your feelings to yourself today as the confusing Pisces New Moon lands in your 4th House of Roots. Your emotions are best left at home now; sharing your private life at work might not be the smartest move. However, don't slip into denial about what's happening. Instead of shutting yourself off from your heart, it's healthier to write in a journal or talk about your personal issues with a trusted friend. .................

[Sassy]

Sagittarius: You want to be sure that you have all your ducks in a row today so you can accomplish your objectives at work. Your frustration could run exceptionally high if you discover that you're not as prepared as you thought you were. However, you could set yourself up for failure if you reach too far now. On the other hand, there's no reason to give up as long as you exercise a bit of common sense when establishing your agenda.

[luv2luvgirls]

I keep having great dreams, so real.. then I wake up and after a minute reality crashes my happy bubble and it stinks.

[sylvie]

Something i read years ago which helped move me forward..
And that same writing, i turned to earlier this week, for some motivation & it helps everytime, so sharing here for all ♥ Everytime i read this, i remember that i am worthy, am living the best life i can and am deserving of all the good things life has to offer... And i walk, with courage.

Live Your Life With Courage

Courage is admitting that you're afraid and facing that fear directly.
It's being strong enough to ask for help and humble enough to accept it.

Courage is standing up for what you believe in without worrying about the opinion of others.
It's following your own heart, living your own life, and settling for nothing less than the best for yourself.

Courage is daring to take a first step, a big leap, or a different path.
It's attempting to do something that no one has done before, and all others thought impossible.

Courage is keeping heart in the face of disappointment, and looking at defeat not as an end but as a new beginning.
It's believing that things will ultimately get better even as they get worse.

Courage is being responsible for your own actions, and admitting your mistakes without placing blame on others.
It's relying not on others for your success, but on your own skills and efforts..

Courage is refusing to quit even when your intimidated by impossibility. It's choosing a goal, sticking with it, and finding solutions to the problems.

Courage is thinking big, aiming high, and shooting far. It's taking a dream and doing anything, risking everything, and stopping at nothing to make it a reality.

A friend posted this letter from her 91 year old grandmother on FB:

Cheery greetings, ___and ___;
Seeing you two April 20-22 is my great pleasure. Navy pants that don’t wrinkle is the shopping goal. Sister bonding with continual laughter as well as good weather is my desire for this happy occasion. I am truly looking forward to having oodles of fun.
P.S. I will help with travel expenses.
Much love…


And I have now settled on what I want to be when I grow up... That freaking happy woman!

What is on my mind huh?

Way too much...
Missing the stuffings out of my girl
Anticipating next weekend and time spent with her
No classes for the next two weeks
Broadway Night at karaoke tonight
Getting two major assignments done during spring break
Baby showers and birthday celebrations that I have been invited to
etc etc etc...

[spritzerJ]

that I am really grateful for an awesome friend and co worker who tells me the truth about coworkers and lets me discover it for myself. I am lucky we work so well together.
my mind is busy trying to relax. I think it shouldn't be this hard but it is. and if bed time doesn't come in 15 minutes the little pink princess will find her crown repossessed.

[kvedd]

That sometimes life doesn't always go as planned and we all make mistakes, some big and some small but it all leads us to exactly where we're supposed to be in life.... :)

[sylvie]

A friend, a co-worker.. & she's not well..
At one time we didn't get along the greatest, workplace drama and my lack of interest in it.. However, when she fell sick, i stepped up - and we've developed a close friendship over this time for which i'm very grateful.. i've never had hard feelings about her, & i am happy she didn't either towards me.

Now, she's been rushed to the hospital two days in a row, with a high blood pressure that they can't seem to get control of.. She has a blockage as well, and will be having surgery.. In the meantime, they've placed a patch on her and doubled her doseage of medication, and its very scary.. We're all frightened at what is going on with her & wish there was more i can do..

So prayers, positive energy & being there for her ..
Her tears & her hugs show me she's scared too - even if she's got her brave face on.. i can't help but worry..

To the one bio-male that stole my heart & with a rare wag of his {rather big} ass which made me smile...
My TehToh, you've given me many happy memories, moments of laughter & Peace.
When I was rock bottom, you'd cheer me up with your wild antics, always being my spoiled baby boy, and you knew it.
Anything I saw that I knew you'd like, I'd grab for u, I'd give anything to have you back as you always were, to spend more time enjoying your company, Mathilda as well, we'll have our moment glance of missing your attentiveness, permanently present curiosity, and silly randomness.
U were handsome when I first saw u, minding your own among many, with a Soul in those itty bitty lil eyes that said our path together was written with u laid your poofed up head on my shoulder. U were cute even when u literally blew off most of your fur, almost all bald {a poodle-ish ferret} and yet equally full of Bravado, even more handsome when the fur returned...with a vengeance, making a Tribble seem Bald in comparison. U never lost spirit, u always pulled thru with ♥, and all u craved were Cuddles and Ferretone, be it from me, Mathilda or Mom, infamously sulking or pacing + glaring when I was rather busy, following my every move, but ever happy to literally jump in my arms, sigh and snuggle with a waggle of your tail. It tears my heart to no longer see u waiting for me after a rough Dialysis. Yet, att the same time, I know you're in a better place, no longer ailing, waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge to play hide & seek, 'wardance' and snuggle again.

I made a big decision... now I have to put it into action, and... I have to act fast.

[Sassy]

Wednesday: Sagittarius -- Someone could float into your life today and have you chasing a whimsical idea as if it were the most important thing in the world. It may be a pipedream, but you're sure that you can grab this illusion and create something tangible. Unfortunately, you could waste a lot of energy running down a dream that might not be as good once it's caught. Think twice before you pursue something you might soon regret.

[Leigh]

My mom telling me that my father is buying a laptop for himself that he doesn't need (he already has his own computer) and therefore the new bed we need (due to the one my mom sleeps on falling apart) will not be bought now because of this new purchase ........... unreal, when its something for him money is no object (especially since its something he doesn't need right now) and yet again when its something we actually need (and its for my mom no less) he can't be bothered to buy it.

I *NEED* to get a job, because he obviously can't properly provide for his own family ~ its disgusting and I don't know why I got stuck with him as a father :|

[jac]

All the little nit picky things that need to get done before tomorrow morning... Good thing I've been making a list. Ummmm now where is the list?? :|

[spritzerJ]

red with sparkles
pink and navy blue
lists
the mess
vacuum cleaner bags
how it is so beautiful I was not expecting that.
the spunk to rock this day...

[spritzerJ]

home:
that always welcoming and comfortable place to be. where we feel safe and secure. where we are free to be and explore. the place we bring our vulnerability and watch it be transformed by love.

[spritzerJ]

What part of protection involves trust? This is what I want to know.

I get it...I don't follow the normal pattern, I am me. I don't tell people where I am going or check in or know self defense or have a hard street wise edge. I don't yank hearts around.

How about I be seen for what I have survived. That I've managed to stay a pretty freaking joyful being and let that inspire trust that I can HANDLE it!

That I choose the protection offered not because I am weak but because I am strong and I trust the protection to be there. And that is more than I ever believed possible.

[Soft*Silver]

Sagittarius: Wednesday, Mar 7, 2012 -- Narrowing your scope of operations today enables you to make the most of your limited energy. Thankfully, your willpower is strong now; whatever you believe can actually come true if you're willing to remain vigilant throughout the day. Your first inclination is to say yes when someone asks for a favor, but take a few deep breaths before responding. Think about the consequences of assuming more obligations prior to fulfilling your previous commitments.

[QueenofSmirks]

My homework!

[jac]

What is on my mind...

Hearing her sleep after ear whispers until it was interupted... and that odd dream about rearranging furniture in a living room, which wasn't a familiar space to begin with. It was a slow and methodical process of furniture placement. Hmmmmmm...........

[always2late]

Just sitting her thinking about people and wondering how some can be so cruel to something so innocent and loving. We brought our new rescue home today...and she is the sweetest little girl..but SO afraid. We think she was probably abused by her former owner, because there is no earthly reason that a 7 month old puppy should be this afraid and withdrawn. Even in her fear...she shows no sign of aggression...she just looks at us with these sad eyes. Someone she trusted, who was supposed to love her, broke her little heart. I can't wait to show her that that not all people are the same...and that she has nothing to fear from us. That we will never hurt her, or throw her away just because we got bored or tired of caring for her. That we just want to love her enough to heal that broken heart so she can be the happy dog she is supposed to be.

I am just remembering how nice the full moon looked tonight as I was driving to meet friends for dinner. It wasn't quite dark yet but the moon was up high and Mount Lassen for a backdrop.

Thinking about my Beloved and that huge, compassionate heart of hys. How much i miss hym and trying not to think about not being able to be together this weekend but looking forward to next weekend...

[smouldering]

There is a lot going on in my head but most recently a message on facebook received this morning from a "friend" who likes to play games, the one I have mentioned previously in other threads, the one that throws temper tantrums when you don't drop what you are doing when they "summon" you..
So after unfriending a few of us because we couldn't come to her little party that ended up never happening anyway in the beginning of January she has come crawling back, but the one thing and most important thing that is missing from her little "poor is me" message is an apology.. Mind you, this is the fourth time she has played this little game of "If you don't do what i tell you to do im not your friend anymore" I don't really intend on being friends with this person again, but the problem is, someone else is considering it.. I guess my question is, how many times do you let a person play these mind games, throw these little hissy fits before you say enough is enough? Not to mention the fact this is a person who likes to push buttons just to prove she matters and to cause issues between people. I knew sooner or later she would come crawling back again, i guess i just thought that by now i wouldn't be the only one who notices how lighter, and more peaceful things are when she isn't around with her negativity.. Blah.. just venting out loud..

anyway yup.. thats what is on my mind.

Cracking up with my grandson over the phone... I mean seriously what two year old tells you his version of Jack and the Beanstalk and gives sound affects along the way? LOL... mine does!! I love that kid :)

[WolfyOne]

I am one proud aunt :)

Today I read on my youngest nieces FB, she got an acceptance letter and will be going to college. This is really big because 4 years ago, all she wanted to do was go to HS and stopped going 3 months after she started in IL. She called me and asked if her and her mom could move to OK, just so she could go back to HS. She told me the HS she left grade school for was too big and all the kids there either wanted you to join a gang, do drugs or have sex. All she wanted was an education. Anyhow, my ex and I found a nice little rental for her and her mom, but after a while her mom didn't like small town living. Met a really old BF online, visited him in NC and the next thing we all know, she's moving and wanting my niece to go, too. My niece took a stand, got a guardian and took her mom to court, so she could continue school where she was at. After all, it took her that 1st school year to make friends and adjust to small town living. The girls in that small town were not quick to let an outsider in. As frustrated as my niece was, not having friends, she continued on. Her 2nd year in HS, she finally got a BF and was able to make friends through that relationship. He was an honor roll student and because of him, she got better grades than she normally got. Fast forward a couple years and she graduates HS in May. This has been such a good experience for her. At a young age, she has already had life lessons that some adults still don't get. She has worked a PT job, gone to HS half a day and a college the other half a day through a program at her HS...........................did I mention I was beaming :)

[Rook]

I think I realized I have a serious pet peeve that grates my nerve beyond belief....
If I tell you my birth name....
And you're NOT Deaf....
Or stupid {or the guessing you're not some simpleton twit, anyways}...
You're standing in front of me...
How is it possible to fuck up the pronouncing of the name, I just vocally told the person, they cant ask to repeat it once, so they can catch whatever it is they couldn't grasp.....???
I didnt spell it on a piece of paper,
I spoke it,
I didn't sign the name with my fuggin' hands,
u fuckin heard me, u can't even " parrot " what I just said????
No, just happily butcher the name as if I said it like that, and then giggle and ask for help 4 times, this to me puts the person well within "Dumb Fuck & Asshole".....
And then people have the gall to ask why I'm changing my name legally.."oh it's a beautiful name"
so beautiful people happily {and in my opinion willfully} fuck up the way it's spoken.....
It's not a German name, it's not hawaian, polynesian, japanese or Polish w/o vowels...
There's no gutteral phlegm-inducing sound to it....sheesh.
And the i goes before the motherfuckin' X (some people actually pronounce the X before the i.....wtf?)....
Spell it right, too...

Oh....

What's on my mind...

Wanting to give thanks and appreciation for those that were once in a relationship with me. I chose to be with each and every one of them for the person that they were. They gave to me what they could and although it didn't work out for us respectively, it was what was meant to be at the time.

What's on my mind is feeling the love of someone special... Someone who is touching my heart and soul on a level no other has ever been able to reach. I give thanks daily for having her in my life and I know this love is exactly as it should be in my life. I pray and thank the heavens above for all that we have, all that we are dreaming to have and all that will exist for us.

Yeh, gratitude is what's on my mind... :praying:

How much I miss my horse today. I know it is because I dreamed about him last night, paid his board bill today, and my "old man" (my 37 yr old horse) passed away a year ago today....September can't come soon enough, but its for the best, Florida heat is going to be hard enough for him to adjust to, let alone Florida SUMMER heat... so for now he is in good hands with a very good friend.

[girl_dee]

[Miss_J]

getting my house in order is turning out to be a bigger project than I had thought. I've moved three people out, waiting for the 4th to vacate at the end of the month, redone floors, painted, purged 6 years worth of crap and hopefully I can have a decent garage sale out of it.

*sigh* heeelp

[jac]

What is on my mind is...

me not always being there for those that need me when they need me. Sometimes really and truly thinking how freakin' cool it would be if I had super human powers to be in all places at all times for all those I love and care for. Sometimes thinking that if there was just more time in the day to accomplish all that needs to be accomplished. Sometimes just wanting to turn my back and walk away quietly... Sometimes.

[Wryly]

how fragile everything is.
Last night one of my nieces died in a car accident.
She was only a couple years younger than me but sometimes she just seemed more together than I ever hoped to be, you know?
She was funny. She was fierce. She will be missed.

[Mr Nice Guy]

Well I had a thought and then entered forum and forgot it. I'll be back.

[Wryly]

First of all - thank you to all who've PMed me. It means so very much knowing that y'all have me and my family in your prayers.

Last week I was going thru some boxes I had stored at my sister's place. Several small boxes of photos. I put them aside thinking I'd scan them when I had the time.
Today, despite everything, I decided I had the time. Photos of my mom, brothers, sisters, cousins, in-laws, nieces, nephews, weddings, graduations, and all sorts of family events - little and big.
there was a rather large envelope of pictures from a family wedding - - in August of 2000 one of my nieces got married. It was the niece that passed away this weekend.
I've scanned several dozen pictures - I'm going to burn them to a disc and store them in a fire-proof safe. I'll give the originals to family.
Still a lot of pics to go thru yet.

[jac]

What is on my mind...

The incompetence of some professionals... The lack of integrity, responsibility and just the overall way so many just don't get that they are there to serve those that come to them for help. Have they forgotten why they became professionals? Did they never have a clue to begin with? Do they really think it's easy to ask for help? Are they immune to this sort of treatment themselves? I just want people to start owning up to their place in this life. Wake up people... We're all in this together.

Thoughts of my Memere tonight.. Hating that she is so sick and hating that i live so far from her and that i've no way to see her anytime soon.. my father went to see her on Sunday, and said she is doing as good as she can be, but she struggles with breathing and needs the oxygen increased when she walks a few feet.. Tonight i've been sending her much positive energy, and praying that she doesn't suffer ... i respect her decision to not accept treatment especially at her age.. So right now, sending all my energy, and keeping her in all of my prayers and contacting her in any way i can is important for me to keep as close to her as i can.. And i am very much focusing on my memories with her and the dear soul she is, keeping her close in my heart and loving her with all i am.. i know Pepere is watching over her, very closely and holding her hand through this..

Sagittarius: This is a big day for you with the Moon still in your optimistic sign, lifting your spirits above the mundane circumstances of your life. Your key planet Jupiter is positively aligned with sensual Venus and energetic Mars, encouraging you to turn your heart's desires into tangible action. Thankfully, expressing your emotions can move you closer to someone you really like. Although love is favored now, don't become so sure of yourself that you miss the obvious signals right in front of your face.

[Mr Nice Guy]

That I'm starting to miss having a girlfriend even more today because of falling and hurting myself. Just two bruised knees but it would be nice to have one care and want to mend me. Instead I did it and you know what that means. Also the spring makes me miss a gf too. I'm having a weak moment. But I'm ok. :)

All my letters that I wrote when I applied for scholarships are somewhere lost in the abyss of the deadness of the book... the pro... Somewhere in the midst of that fine, dead piece of equipment exists the words that I am seeking. I'm sure someday I will eventually retrieve them but for now... right now... I need to see them, read them and get some much needed information off of them. Yeh, what's on my mind is frustration... For sure. :sigh:

[StoneOne]

you feel it............

A wonderfully long day @ Disneyland tomorrow! Excited

[RNgirl]

The song "just a kiss" and how relevant it is right now.

How I am glad this night at work has been slow.

How I am sooooo looking forward to spending time away with my guy!!! So lucky to have someone as special as hym to have walked into my life!

Draft for the O-line. Please?

Five years ago today, at this very hour, i was getting ready to go to my Mom's funeral...

Trying to wrap my brain around the fact that it's been 5 years already...

Remembering how the judges, out of respect for Mom, either postponed their sessions that morning or excused the attorneys on their dockets who were coming to the funeral...

Thinking about the different things people said to me over the last 5 years when i was trying to express my grief or seemed off in another world lost in thoughts of Mom. Thinking about how earlier this year it hit me early and hit me hard...

A suggestion to those who have hurting friends...Don't slam your hand down on a table and yell "snap out of it" - it's just not that easy and makes me want to tell them "When it's YOUR mother come tell me how it feels."

This pain is real...it's cold and hollow. In time you kind of get used to it but it never really goes away.

If someone wants to talk about their pain please let them...please just listen. If you don't want to listen or if it makes you uncomfortable please be honest with them and tell them.

And ask them if they are OK...

Sometimes the 3 most important words to someone are "How are you?"

My BFF's been really blue lately. I'm worried about her mental health. But I'm so overworked, stressed out and overwhelmed w/my own work and home drama, I don't have the time to check in on her like I want to. Thankfully some mutual friends are also helping keep an eye on her this go 'round. Worried, worried, worried. But hoping, hoping, hoping it'll all be ok ... eventually.

This has been one incredible weekend...so much to see & do that it has flown by...The thought of being away from Clay for another week shouldn't be that painful since our most recent time apart was 2 weeks...but it is...This is going to be one very long "just over 4 days!"

Yesterday we went with Countyfemme & a friend of Clay's to the St Patrick's Day Parade down in Savannah. We met up with diamondrose & her g/f....they're some truly awesome folks!!!

It was huge!!! We got there just after 6:30a.m. & didn't leave until after 4! The parade was amazing!!! Very colourful... lots of military, the Bud Clydesdales (omg those are some big horses!), Irish societies, dancers, bagpipe bands, police groups, firefighter groups... Clay asked me what my fav thing about the parade was...so much to choose from but like hym mine was the pair of firetrucks painted pink for breast cancer and the firefighters' pink gear & tshirts. Something else really struck home for me and that was the Relay for Life team marching in the parade. All i could think about when they passed by was what an incredible battle my Clay has fought and how i pray hy won't have to again. But should the Universe decide otherwise i will remain steadfastly by hys side...as i told hym last week...for better or for worse...period!

So in a few hours Countyfemme & i will be hitting the road back to NC & i don't want to go...i want to stay here on the island with Clay...sitting on the veranda sipping sweet tea...stealing kisses from each other...listening to the Ravens...watching to moss gently sway in the trees...watching the sun set and the stars rise...taking a drive out to watch our dolphins...and just living a quiet happy life together...

Clay, my beloved SSBP...you are the safekeeper of my heart and soul...the kindest, most loving person i know...i love you Baby and am now & forever your SFCT...r

Sagittarius: Your nervous energy provokes you to spontaneously express yourself before you fully develop an idea. You might begin talking with a specific thought in mind, only to shift direction in the middle of a sentence. Although this extemporaneous communication style often works well for you, it's challenging today to just let your words flow naturally without holding anything back. Stop trying so hard to say the right thing. You may be pleasantly surprised where your free association leads you.

Spring Break is officially over, back to school tomorrow - but that means summer break is right around the corner :)

I get my Harley back out of storage next week!

9 days til our 9th Anniversary!!! WOOT! And we have a fun weekend in Minneapolis planned to celebrate it!

Our trip to Vegas with some awesome friends is only 2mos away!

And... we decided to make a trip to Texas in August and bring my older sisters back home with us for a week <3

LIFE IS GREAT!

[PinkieLee]

What's on my mind....

100% chance of rain tomorrow. I am soooo over all the rainy, gloomy weather. Momma needs some sunshine! Well, at least the bright spot is that I don't have to water all my flowers :)

[1QuirkyKiwi]

My cousin's Ex keeps texting me in the hopes that I can get him to change his mind on them breaking up recently. I've told her numerous times that is not for me to do; she needs to speak to him herself.

I'm about ready to lose my patience with her! What she has to understand is that; my cousin and I live separate lives, even though we share a house.

My cousin is about to call her and deal with it. I hope he does!

[clay]

how wondrous my world is....:hangloose:

[Lazy Daze]

That I love my life, I love OUR life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world.

That I am worried about my sister. She struggles with depression and is in a really bad spot right now. I have to keep reminding myself that SHE had control over her actions that put her where she is right now.... but she IS my sister, and I still worry.

Trying to decide what to make for dinner. I know it will be chicken, just don't know what kind! maybe chocolate covered chicken??? yeah... chocolate fixes everything :eatinghersheybar:

That I need to get my ass up and clean this house! :byebye:

[smouldering]

The weather is getting nice and warm now, which hopefully means more houses will be coming up for rent, i am sooo ready to be out of here!!:praying:

Sagittarius: Although you may still struggle with exercising self-restraint, it should be easier today to find a healthy balance between work and play. Your personal life is looking good, but don't just assume that everything will turn out fine on its own. Your view of the world might be a bit distorted now because you're looking at things through rose-colored glasses. Having a positive attitude is empowering, but blind optimism could lead you astray.

[Leigh]

On my mind is this fiasco with the gym I'm a part of, knowing that next weekend my uncle and his fiancee will have moved to Edmonton and just how life is starting to move at a faster pace than I am used to

[justkim]

How uncaring people are... how do people sleep at night knowing that they drove right by a little old man, obviously in distress, and not stop! JERKS! I am so glad that it wasn't something life threatening and only a bungee cord that had wrapped around the back axle of his three wheeled bike... causing it to not move... I got it unstuck and he was on his way... mumbling thank you's and bless you's...

i love your world Honey...and the very best part of it (and mine) is YOU!

Thinking about the coming weekend...watching dolphins with Clay, checking out the natural wonders on his island, laughing, blowing bubbles and just spending quiet time together...

[1QuirkyKiwi]

Work stuff. I'm feeling a little uncomortable and slightly overwhelmed by this case. Whenever I get these feelings, I know I'm in for a bumpy ride and the relatives will expect me to perform the impossible! That I can't do. Miracles take a wee bit longer, though and I can just about pull them off, lol!

The cold rain is like ice water! I could really use a hot steamy bowl of chicken noodle soup right now !

[ReDo]

I love my job just can't stand the team I am working with. I have never worked with such cold and unwelcoming people so it's a big change for me. Lets just say yesterday our shift started at 11:30 am by noon they had 3 of us newbies in tears.... yup I was one of them. (I don't cry often)

So today is my day to toughen up let it roll off my back and just hold out until June when I can put in for another shift.

So the great thing about today....

its another chance for an amazing day.

My roomie, sister, friend, mother of my goddaughter, is having a huge manic issue over moving out. I know she is doing it, she knows she is doing it.. when I call her on it she blows up yells at me and storms off, because I'm always so critical and I never praise her for the things she does accomplish... ok... you have been moving out for a month and a half.. it took you all morning to EMPTY A SMALL CLOSET ! Mind you its the SAME small closet that is attached to MY small closet where on the other side I am TRYINGTOSLEEPYOUINCONSIDERATEASS!

(blink blink) Its my day off, you kept me up all night because you "had" to roller blade for exercise for 4 hours in the middle of the night while the baby was sleeping and you didnt have your key, oh and lets not forget the entire baby daddy drama of the day as well that makes you feel like he is going to snatch and dash with her.

Seriously dude? I mean SERIOUSLY???
(breathe... growl)

I am at a complete and utter loss... I had such nice plans for my day off and I was going to just let her be to do her stuff and take the muffin with me. Now I just wanna sock her in the mouth and stuff her in the "almost" empty closet and lock the damn door until she gets some phuckin sense! auughhh!!!!

I was not being critical.. I was trying to explain to her that I know and understand how difficult this is for her but she needs to stop dragging her feet and get on with it, its not just about her.

I think I need an intervention before I seriously shove my foot up her damn ass!

This Thursday is my last day in my family's business....while I am excited to start a new job with better pay, benefits, and a very bright future, it is hard to imagine the end of the 4th generation working in this business.

Granted, I will still do alter jobs for them....and charge them big bucks for it, as I am the only person in a 6 state area that does what I do!

I just hate leaving my 68 year old dad to fend for himself...I will worry about him.
