What is on your mind

[Little Fish]

Kitty,
Baby, honey, sweetie.....(anything sweet)

What exactly WAS that? It looked like a Whale Shark? The spots and style of jaw structure made me think so but I have no idea what that thing is on the right...

*scratches my head*

L'il hep pls?

[KayCee]

sorry but I have no clue what you're talking about. Perhaps it's a bad link?

[Little Fish]

bwa hahahahaha---
I feel like I just saw a UFO but you were looking the other way!!
*smh* carry on!
:-)

[Deborah]

I'm thinking about how she likes to call me her "desert girl"...I would never have thought that I would like that, because I tend to identify with the PNW a lot...but I do, and I think it is because she instinctively knows, that where I grew up is still with me, no matter where I am living.

Maybe you misunderstood and she is really saying 'dessert girl' because she thinks you're so sweet and should be enjoyed after dinner.....

[ruffryder]

It is a bit warm and I'm getting tired!

Thinking it is about timeee for bed. Zzzzz..

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

The past. The present. The future. How it all seems to be intertwined no matter how many times I attempt to unravel them and take them one at a time. So that I may learn from what lessons I have experienced, enjoy the reality of my present situation, and not worry so much about my future. Did I choose the right school? Am I still motivated enough for the faster pace? Should I take some time off and address all the things that have happened this year. Oh and of course she is on my mind.

What is on my mind...

The beach and wanting to make sand castles with the girls today
Laughter and silliness with my sweetheart and the genral sprout
My brother and the many memories we shared
The shelter and how we (the staff) can make it a brighter more lively and interactive environment for those misplaced souls that come seeking a safe haven
My bed and the little time we will have together today...lol
My walk into work and what a gorgeous day it is outside

[Kenna]

Thinking that I've lost something or been "robbed " of something that I should have never felt/had in the first place. It's hard to put the pieces together when there's pieces missing because they've been taken from you.

I miss my son and am torn up about the place he is in his life. Will he survive, I have no idea. I can only stand by and wait for news.

[rustedrims]

things-THINGS-[B]THINGS [B] are on my mind that i dont want there!

[sylvie]

L.O.V.E <3

i am feeling so loved. Nothing fizzles, nothing feels difficult or forced.
There is never a moment in my day where i wonder if i am loved, thought of or cherished.. Our days get so busy, and We understand that - and *still* remain present for one another each and every day.

The laughter, the making time for one another, the appreciation and acceptance of Our friends and loved ones, and simply the way We fit... Being real <3

Being His, & travelling to be with Him soon once again... SO excited.
To be in His arms where i belong... Being able to see Him from across the room.
Making plans, moving Our lives forward.. & just pure happiness..

< --- smiling girl.

[DMW]

Smiling for sylvie and that i have to do laundry Now.
And a 2x4? what was i...thinking? No, i wasn't.

[Kenna]

Thinking...
how good someone made me feel today... and how good they made me feel about myself...
I remain VERY VERY guarded... but it was nice to feel this way instead of defective and like I can't do anything right... I'm tired of getting the blame and I'm tired of feeling ugly.
Today was a big change...

[girl_dee]

that this health crap needs to be over with because i sure could use some time on the opposite end of Syr's flogger!

[Leigh]

Too much is on my mind, i think i'm going to explode :blink:

[Point~Of~No~Return]

SILENCE ='S DEATH

speak up!

[Nomad]

on my mind is a conversation that moved me to tears, in a good way and a frustrating way, and the memories, good and not so good, that still mean everything to me. also on my mind is the same wish for the whole human race that things didnt have to be so confusing when it comes to the "heart" and that people understood all the things they needed to before anyone got hurt.

[GreeneyedMe]

I am a little agitated tonight...there is someone- not on the planet- who I briefly dated this past winter. She is a cling on and doesn't understand why we can't be together even though I have been nice and gentle and honest in my explanations. Sigh...

Now that I am finally happy and dating again, she seems to feel the need to constantly comment on all of my FB posts. I don't have the heart to be mean and delete her, but I need her to chill out. It's really beginning to drive me a bit nuts.

So what is really on my mind is figuring out how to do this nicely but firmly so I don't hurt her anymore than I already have...and get the message across once and for all...double sigh...

Picking up my new motorcycle this evening...she is all set, and I am feeling quite wicked~ within.

[DamonK]

I hurt. I finally slept for about 20 minutes. I wanna get dressed but it hurts me to. I want my puppies with me. And....that's the extent of my whining.

New friends, amazing conversion, fantastic distraction. And the memories haven't swallowed me today. The princess of yesterday would love that.

[girl_dee]

Crawling into her arms at bedtime, my favorite time of the day

[DamonK]

I slept for 4 hours or so.
I may or may not have passed out from pain into sleep
One leg stopped spasming but still barely supports my weight
Now the other leg is trying to
Even with as bad as pain was today, its less than it was, with the exception of about one hour.


I slept with my puppies on me and around me.
The Bear is bringing me yummy food.
The girl came home and I like that sort of thing.

[Hollylane]

I love words...Big words, little words, pronounceable and unpronounceable words, made up words, and Hollylaneisms...I just love them!

[Leigh]

I can't stop thinking ~ will I, and have I, made all the right life decisions? I guess only time will tell.

[starryeyes]

Today, Lisa (Justin) and I had a connecting flight in Reno before we got to LAX. There was an hour and a half delay. Ugh. Gosh darn the world. How dare they!!!! Don't they know we are tired. We just had a week vacation in Alaska! We are tired and want to get home to our dogs, dammit ugh. Anyways.... **grumble** I walked over to the "sex and the city" slot machine and dropped some cash in for some entertainment....

Finally!!! Our turn to board.... It is southwest afterall, so everyone is elbowing eachother and making sure they are standing in the exact number order. Always fun.

So we get on the plane, and put my purse in the middle seat, hold hands to try to offend people so no one sits in the middle so Lisa can lay down. It doesn't work, dammit, and we get squished.

I look out the window, and notice military men standing near the plane and there is a hearse. Hmm, thats odd. Never have seen that before. The pilot makes an announcement and says he apologizes for the delay, but the airport was temporarily shut down out of respect for Johnny Blunk, a navy veteran who was killed in the Aurora massacre. His plane had just landed and his casket was removed and being taken to his funeral.

Wow, really puts everyhing into perspective.

Don't sweat the small stuff and don't take life for granted.

Thats on my mind.

Rest in peace, Johnny.

[Mr Nice Guy]

I want to see my dog in my dreams. Every night I go to bed I hope that she would show herself but she hasn't. I think she's to busy running around in doggie heaven being a dog. I miss her.

[StoneOne]

not sure how this came about, not sure it matters, not sure if I am the only one?
Some of these thoughts may differ a bit from others stories if there is anyone else out there....
I really dont drink much maybe a beer here and there while standing over the grill in the summer or a football game or... but you get the point, now when I was younger look out......
So as I said it hit me, A friend of mine had a Grand Opening for her bar and I have been spending some time there getting to know a few peeps looking for the one's who are drinking coffee as that is what I am drinking knowing I have a adversion to meeting peeps who have had to many drinks to me not a good way to start a friendship or more? In my life I have delt with alcohol ex's falling of their AA, working in the hospital seeing what damage it can do to lifes, Friends who have problems in their life because of drinking and others who think drinking seven days a week is not a problem and people who choose to be with people who "dont have a drinking poblem" and here I get to the reason I am pondering this. It hit me
I go to the bar to meet peeps who REALLY dont have a drinking problem
Ponder That?????:|:blink::confused:

[tazz]

... i miss my Crush... :(

[Nomad]

read some old e-mail. (deep breath) amazing what life brings and what it takes away. lots of gratitude for everyone who's ever been part of my life and lots of love too. no matter what. lots of love.

[BoiJen]

-if my kidney will kick back in n work.
-how much my friend cares about me n has done for me n my boy. I can't show how much I appreciate.
-how much anger I feel toward my friend who didn't care about my health n almost let me die.
-many things about my life going thru my head. Severe emotional state as I sit in the hospital waiting.

[Blade]

The message I heard in church today, and the power, someone speaking in simple language can bless you with.

[Hollylane]

My Gaige asked me to wake her up in an hour, I did that an hour ago...She answered the phone, with a sweet sleepy voice that made my heart swell, and then fell promptly back to sleep...So, I am listening to her sleep, and it is wonderful to feel so close to her, but a huge part of me aches very much to be there next to her again.

Right now, I would give anything to have the ability to be able to look over at her once in awhile, just to watch her peacefully resting. I would run my fingertips through her short hair, and lean over to softly kiss her forehead or cheek, then I would whisper to her "I love you", and know that she couldn't hear it, but it wouldn't matter, because I just truly do love her.

Sweet dreams Baby...:stillheart:

Six months sobriety but not clean time. It's the sobriety one that counts for me; it's the drug that was killing me. If I'd been an AA member this time around it would be cause for a wee celebration, however I'm an NA member and it's clean time that matters not sober time. :sigh:

This huge watermelon I just cut for dinner. I did not think it could be possible to get one sweeter than the one I cut Saturday night.

The only downside is I will be waking up peeing all night. I will deal with that later ... Living in the instant gratification moment .... Chewing down large hunks of this juicy, sweet seedless melon is right where I want to be. :) LOL

Awww bless ya and ta ever so much lovely lady. :formalbow:

Not so sure anyone but me is proud, after all I was 17yrs sober previously, so a measly 6 months is a drop in the proverbial ocean. Such is life.

I said I would treat myself to a kindle for this small achievement but have yet to order it. :cheesy:

[cinderella]

My days are sunnier and more cheery lately - a romantic interest is on the horizon. It's a 'repeat performance', but perhaps it's true what they say about 'the second time around' - now if can just stop being such a curmudgeon, it might work. :hk31:

Massage soooooooooooo bad that she will be more than happy to give but....

You did not lose the 17 years sober. You lost the time you spent using. 6 months is nothing to sneeze at! You do deserve this. Get rid of your guilt whip, you'll feel better. Btw, congratulations on that 6 month chip or medallion.

What's on my mind is parents. Not my parents but parents that I see day to day. I don't have children (and probably won't ever, unless it's one of those immaculate conception kind of things)

I have worked with children of all ages and from all sorts of socioeconomic backgrounds, with all sorts of disabilities and abilities, in the class room and out of the class room. In all of the years that I worked with children, with all of the frustration, and endless kid questions, and hissy fits, and pouting, I NEVER once treated a child the way I see some parents treat their kids.

It makes me angry to see a mom not paying one bit of attention to her kid, and then yelling at the kid to "sit your big ass down" when the girl (about 5years old) acts up for some attention.

It makes me sad to see a little boy looking at his dad with adoration and starting every sentence with "daddy, can we do this?" or daddy, look at that!!" only to have dad treat him like crap even going so far as to put his hand over the kids face to make him stop talking.

I realize that being a parent is hard. Sometimes you need a break. But it just burns me up to see kids treated so bad. By their own parents no less. I hope that should I ever have a child of my own, I show my child everyday how loved and special they are.

Can I just ask you to give your kid a hug today. Or at least let them know how much you love them, no matter how old they are.

[ruffryder]

my girl has been on my mind all day! mmhmmm..

Nekohl,

Isn't that the truth? Forget the DSi, Wii, and toy of the moment. All they really want is your time and attention. I find with my volunteer work construction paper, crayons and lying on the floor eye-to-eye quality time beats any other activity hands down. But better believe these are the same parents that wonder why their kids shut them out in the teen years.....

[Ginger]

The moon is on my mind. It's in the sky like a big pizza pie. It's cool out, so I've been taking runs at night, and the moon follows me.

What is on my mind...

I don't want to say that it's a reoccuring dream but I will say that the place looks familiar in a dream-state of mind. The building, the architecture, the rooms, it's grandure.... all of it was so soooooo familiar. But interestingly enough, a few more rooms were revealed this dream. There was actually several more rooms revealed. The place is like a maze of rooms and hallways and separate living quarters. Like three or more families could live in one massive mansion. This time I got to see the indoor basketball court and the swimming pool that had two smaller pools on each side with the automatic water resistance so it gives the feel and effect that one is swimming against the current but remaining in one spot. I did see a guy in one who was working on his starts for the backstroke. He had a couple of coaches working with him and some girls were watching. I was just passing through but he got out of his training and went to the other small pool to chew out the coaches for the girls. He was saying that he would appreciate it if they would do their job because he's tired of the audience, and he did not say it in a nice way either. I kept on walking...

It really was odd to go back into the familiar parts of this place and then to walk through doors or down a hall and discover the new sections. I don't feel as though I am done with this place... I think I will have this dream again... for the fifth or sixth time. I've lost count now. I wonder if this place or something similar really exists? Isn't it curious how our subconscious minds work through our dreams....??

[SleepyButch]

What's on my mind.... Hmmmm.. I hate being in limbo... I'm all moved. Still have some boxes to unpack or put in storage but yet something still doesn't feel right just yet. I try to be patient but sometimes, it's hard.

I'm sure I'll know what is next for me soon... and all will be okay no matter which way my life turns. I'm hoping for some excitement sometime soon.

It's august here... and I think your tired... I've never seen you this tired.... Your acorns and leaves are already falling..your sap is flowing...your geese have started flying south..your squirrels are foraging like you are miscarrying... autumn... the old one's say all this means... a long cold winter is coming.

[GreeneyedMe]

On my mind today....my best friend of 30 years. The one a few of you may have seen in my photo album on my profile. My Joey. My Rock. The one who knows me better than I do. The one who calls me on my shit and kicks my ass when necessary. The one who I keep telling should have been a woman...lol. My Joey.

He had a heart attack last night. I got the call at 1:00am. He is as ok as he can be for now...many tests later, answers are coming slowly. He is alive. Thank you God....

He is afraid, scared, terrified even. I know as I have been there. 3 years ago, I lived through my own attack. He would not let me visit him tonight. He doesn't want me to see him like this. But he visited me. I am upset, but will respect his wishes, then when he is better, I shall firmly kick his ass. Brat that he is....

His husband is the second best friend I have. I have grown to love Terry equally. They are incredible together.

His parents have both passed.
When I left for work this morning, I looked up at the sky and said "Ma, I know you miss him and love him, but please, we aren't done with him here yet...please help him stay with us.....please Ma"

I know that may be selfish. It is selfish. But I am not ready to face this world without him. He is 45. Much too young.

My Rock, My Joey...I love you...continue to heal....heal quickly...we still have much to do....:praying:

Watching the Olympic swimming competition has brought back so many memories of my days as a competitive swimmer...i wasn't anywhere even remotely close to this level but i had teammates who were...two Olympians on our team...my best friend on the 1976 USA team and another on the 1980 British team...i was living in the UK in 1980 & was able to watch the Moscow games and watched him win gold in the 100m breaststroke...knowing how hard we trained...remembering how our team captain carried me to the car & drove me to the doctor when i broke my foot...a scared 17 year old away from home for the first time, they were my family...we kept each other sane (or insane...lol)...that the freshman swimmers still had to pass the PE swimming test even though we were all standing there in our team Speedos...lol :shark:

[Nomad]

i had so much fun last night! i didnt expect to and i really didnt even want to go at first but things were so relaxed and the conversation was so interesting and the event i attended was more amazing than i expected it to be! i wanted it all to last forever! now that it's over i cant stop thinking about how i felt and what was talked about and what happened at each interval that made it feel so good to experience!

i dont know when i forgot how to have fun. i'm thinking i've been a real drag to anyone who hung out with me in the last year or two. or G*d forbid more than that! i should send out letters that said "sorry i was a buzzkill and i hope i didnt negatively impact your life because i was so wrapped up in being this version of myself."

i've gotten really serious in the last 5 years or so. ive forgotten what it's like to have a sense of humor or to relax or to not worry about everything. i dont know how to not jump up to take care of things when people need something or to try to fix whatever isnt going right so that no one has to find a solution themselves or just cope and ride out the storm. i dont mean that in a ego focused way that really means "i'm so much better than you and i have to take care of all of this because i dont trust you to be capable". i'm not interested in being a controlling pseudo martyr who thinks she's got to take care of everything and everyone but maybe i've been acting like it and i dont know it or wont acknowledge it to myself. actually come to think of it maybe i have been acting like that. i honestly dont think that other people arent capable. but i do get caught up in thinking that if i dont do it then it wont get done. :deepthoughts: if i'm doing that kind of thing then it means i've turned into my mother and that's just not ok with me. i think i really do owe some apologies. but how do you apologize for forgetting how to just relax and be yourself?

[RockOn]

I am so dirty from working outside most of the day.

This is what is on my mind ... a shower, clean clothes and ... (bandroll please) ... the FOUR watermelons I will buy at Sam's Club shortly. I am not a total pig. I am taking one to my training instructor tomorrow. He is from Connecticut. Starting another two week training session in the morning. I have it 8:00 a.m. until noon. My supervisor is in the afternoon class. I love skill updates but we only had one week off from last training. For me, too fast ... I need additional time to trick more ideas from the previous session.

my kittycat ran away last night.
i had to work all day and was so worried about him.
He is so scared of the outdoors, and couldn't figure out why or how he got out.
We have raccoons in the backyard, and of course, traffic which worries me.

However, tonight, my furry black furbaby is back home, with many purrs and snuggles and an appetite, indeed. SO happy he is back, and i'm sneezing and stuffy, but happy he's home where he belongs..

My best friend is undergoing lengthy, but in the end, really life-changing and happy major surgery in the morning. I wish I could be there with her. She's been a staple in my world since 1991, and though it will be wonderful when it is done, I am on pins and needles. She's having a major breast reduction/augmentation because she is almost disabled because of her current size. My boss is on alert that I will be leaving ASAP tomorrow. She isn't just my friend, but also the caregiver for my adult daughter.

[lusciouskiwi]

That a lot of us here on bfp are looking for love and even those lucky buggers who are all loved up are hanging out with mates and that's a kind of love ... So why are we so hard on each other? Why do we judge each other for who we love or how we love?

Call me naive but really, is there that much love that we can throw it away like a piece of plastic, not caring what happens?

I'm going to take my slightly grumpy naive self off and make another cup of coffee, maybe a have biscuit too ...

I'm looking for two books to buy for someone special...

Where the Wild Things Are...
and
Picasso, the Green Tree Frog...

But dang!! Picasso has been out of print for a long time,...the online cost starts at $50 and I've seen it as high as $250... WOW, to think my son got his copy YEARS ago at a Toys For Tots event... good thing he cherished that book!

Time to call my best "bookworm" friend...
I can't wait till a certain someone sees that we found an old copy of Where the Wild Things Are... I bet Ms. Bookworm finds it for me!

[Kenna]

I will hit the lottery tomorrow ...
I will hit the lottery
I WILL HIT THE LOTTERY ... :praying:
I will hit the powerball..

After I do, Mountain Edge Reality here I come ....
after we process closing .. I'll ship my work laptop and files back to the office, after I change the screen saver to a scrolling, flashing "I quit"... ...

Hitting the lottery will be a nice cure for burnout

My Baby is tossing and turning, and trying to fall asleep. I can see her dogs on the bed reacting to her stirring around, and I want to be there with the fronts of my knees tucked into the backs of hers (spooned), gently running my fingers along her temple, above her ear, and through her short hair, softly putting her to sleep...Funny how a "want" can feel so much like a "need"...

[Tony]

Women, the weather (it's gorgeous today), women, my bike (I need to do some work on her), women, I'm out of beer, women, out of cigarettes, women.

I have a very full life. ;-)

[spritzerJ]

The total genuine joy of patting my ex on the back and giving advice on their new relationship and being honest with her. Awww... friendship, the honest appreciation that you can be kind and squeal inside that that isn't your crazy!

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Hate is on my mind a lot lately. All forms of it but I will admit the hate being shown towards the LGBT community rides for most on my mind lately. It does not help that I have gotten back to reading and passing on to Facebook and Google+ the news articles I read on the subject and there has been a lot of hate crimes against our community recently. Stuff that does not hit the national news media and that in itself pisses me off. It is 2012 and a lesbian or transgender can be attacked in some way and it rarely makes the national news level and when it does you hear that it is under investigation for a possible hate crime. Every time I read that I actually say WTF how is this not a hate crime! Most of it could be prevented by simply educating children and the society at large that you do not have to agree with or even like the persons sexuality but that does not give you the right to attack someone over it. It is also on my mind because when I was a kid I was attacked many times for being butch it was the era but I had hoped our world had improved over the years. I worry about it because I have a niece and a second cousin coming up in this and I need them to be safe to not have to face the hate I did. I just don't get it. Why do people find the way you are different and attack you for it? I wish they could see that what makes me different makes me unique (or anyone for that matter)! For many reasons hate as been on my mind lately. However I have been able to find joy in who I really am at least once during the day and when I close my eyes at night I am proud of how unique I am!

I'm thinking that camping might be a great idea for the weekend

"Sunshine " and

On my mind;

The weather is in the 60's currently; made for a great workout today. Lovin it.

It's time for a major change in my life & I'm highly motivated (and I'm an over analyzer) so I hope I can keep it simple.

I'm wondering who I should call for a date tonight. I feel like dancing. That slow, get lost in each other, the world doesn't exist, dancing.

I'm getting bored with the "words with friends" thing but I know some people depend on me to amuse them & keep them entertained.

(told ya you'd be sorry you asked. Lol).

[opus_day]

that the rain ruined my plans to go camping

Olympics on in the background...Does anyone else despise them or am I the only one?

[Kenna]

I heard this for the first time today...and felt it's beauty and how true the words are for me...
I sent it to someone that has recently become very important to me...
I'm surprised at the feelings I'm starting to develop for her...it's sad that the loss of trust in someone else will affect my interactions with her...
I am certainly glass... but of the colorful Tiffany stained glass variety...

[ruby_woo]

I'm bored and dying to go out, but I have no money this weekend.

Blah.

[Mtn]

Crazy busy day, weird customers that need some anger management, my girl in the building all day helping out, amusing shift drink with the "kids" afterwork, and THEN the beautiful meteor shower view of this HUGE open sky, with my even MORE beautiful girl. Yes indeed, a VERY good ending to the day. Now to cuddle, oh yeah it gets BETTER!

[sylvie]

my time with Daddy.
The super special moments We have each day.
He always makes me feel so important and so loved, even with others around. feeling like i fit in, so much.
- walks and so much to explore, dragonflies dancing around me and making me smile.. holding a froggie and stalking every little creature around this resort and convincing Daddy that they love me!

Morning exercises and a puppy sitting on my chest, excited and trying to lick my face to distract me, snuggles n' love.

Living life with Him, waking up next to Him, His snuggles, His kisses..
Him dressing me up warm and snuggly in his clothes and taking me to watch the meteor showers by the lake, Our laughter.. the stars, the beautiful sky above..
Drinks with the crew, and having them fight over helping me with my ipod, heh..Lots of hugs and acceptance, i'm a happy, happy girl.

Discipline, taking care of Him, doing what is expected of me. Preparing for a party i am hostessing here on the Porch, how everything feels right when We're together... Living at a distance is hard work everyday, We make it work and include real life .. If We can make it 'that' good at a distance, no wonder it feels so wonderful when i'm here in His arms.

He makes me feel like the most special girl in the world, and i am so blessed.

[opus_day]

it's a beautiful day and I'm loving being outside in my lawn chair relaxing

Insomnia...
I need help shutting my mind down and falling into a sound, peaceful sleep.

Got alot to think about and figure out ~ I hate when there is too much on my mind and nowhere for it to go!

[Tommi]

Jello. There is always room for jello. But i don' t have any.

So, I have pudding. But that's not the same.

I spose if there's room for jello, pudding will fit too.

Hmm , does that include the whip cream you see on green jello.

Hmm, how long does it take cool whip to thaw.

Pudding , cool whip, and oh wait

I have ice cream sammiches... Of course there's room for instant food groups....

Packing to move. More packing to move. Oh, did I mention I have to pack because I'm moving??:seeingstars: Now, if I don't quit worrying about moving and get some sleep soon, they will come get me in an :ambulance: and take me to the :hospital-snoopy: where I will drop from exhaustion LOL

[bkisbutchenuff]

Scheduling, recruiting, decorating room, unpacking boxes, an office to staighten up and decorate, students, parents, fundraising, uniforms, concerts, music selections, field trips, etc....
Personal stuff on my mind...too much to write....

[sierragirrl]

Hearing from UC Davis that they will not take me as the list is full.
So now i get to go to San Jose, for many doctors appointments but it will all be worth it in the end..i am not looking forward to those turn around road trips.

Hearing from my cousin that the police called her because our grandmother had fallen down and REFUSED to go to the hospital.

School starts here on the 15th. Sadly there is a fire close to here and the smoke in the morning is nasty, fire is not supposed to be under control till at least the end of the month.


i am wishing everyone has a wonderful monday:hk1:

[jac]

What is on my mind...

Talking with my son last night about what I do for the kids at the shelter and realizing, yet again, just how much I miss doing those things for the three of mine. Telling him about how time spent with those kids is supposed to be micro-managed and even though I can't help but keep it genuinely real, there is still that thought in the back of my mind as to how much can be used for billing... bah. :(

A thousand and one things-

Places I want to visit.

Wanting to take classes.

A friend that I usually talk to once day, haven't spoken with in almost a week. I hope he's OK, and just needing time to himself.

Wanting to get out of work today so I can write some things down and sort my brain out.

Thoughts about weight loss, the future, and stuff

I wonder where four or five twenty dollar bills went to in my washing machine when I accidentally washed my wallet today? Maybe I should take it apart?

A friend who hasn't returned my texts since last week after an epic fail of a camping trip where we spent the whole weekend arguing. I miss talking to him.

I think I'm supposed to be a nun..jk.. trying to find my calling..making a career change is tough.

[jac]

making a home, a family, a life together

metaphorically speaking... direction and speed - maybe getting a gps, a map, more gas, new brakes

a realization - profoundly aware of my journey

hmmmm... an observation - when i get lost in thought i don't capitalize

[lusciouskiwi]

Ugh. Don't know where to start - especially because I need to study. But, so pissed off at my ex. I know - once you're an ex, no expectations. But I phoned her last week to come and stay with me for a couple of weeks. My blood pressure was not good (too high) and I was freaking out because the doctor said that the xray showed my heart to be a little enlarged. Not even mildly, just slightly (I think that was supposed to make me feel better), but still ... pretty bloody scary.

I got three different delays from my ex.

Haven't heard from her since last Saturday.

Phoned her today. Gave me another excuse.

I provided the only income for the best part of three years. She worked for one month. During that time I paid for rent, living expenses, made sure she always had cash in her wallet, put up with her bad moods, put up with no sex, put up with little conversation, put up with so much. Anything we did I paid for.

I'm trying really hard not to let it get to me - trying to get the blood pressure down and I need to focus on my studies. But still ...

I'm really :badmood::angry:

[girl_dee]

a wee one who is not well... c'mon universe what ya waiting for? help her out like now..

What's on my mind...

waking up from one of those dreams that you just can't shake. It's pretty bad when you have to force yourself to wake up because the pain feels so real. Scary stuff!

Luckily, I reached out and felt her soft skin next to me, and I knew all was right in my world.

[starryeyes]

I am applying for a new job. It's an actual job where I get paid every 2 weeks and have benefits! I have been a freelancer for the past 2 years, and it has definitely had its ups and downs, but been awesome and I love it. This new job is a supervisory position where I would be faculty at a community college managing a staff of interpreters, scheduling them, monitoring them and helping them improve their interpreting skills. It also a position that I could mostly do from home, only having to go to campus a few times a week. This scares me because I feel like I'm gonna be bored! Right now, I'm zipping all over the city all day going to different assignments. The thought of giving that up to sit at home and schedule kinda stinks. But the pay is OMG and benefits, yay! So, I don't know. I have never been one to be a supervisor. I am way to laid back but it might be a good change. I guess ill have to see what's in the cards!

That's on my mind :-)

[StoneOne]

I am really good when it comes to change but.......

I have made some big changes in my life right now and have more comming and this is a really good thing
I am letting my child fly solo and this has been a long time comming go figure I would feel guilt
I am also not sure about having a femme roommate I have been trying to find that line in helping out and doing all the "Butch" things but need to be careful not to blur the lines and have anything taken the wrong way. I have never lived in this type of arangement and I think I know why......... I have to hold back and I do not like the feeling so I need to change this, I will fly solo too
Time to refill the coffee and ramble on in my mind sooooooo much in there

[Bard]

on my mind today is my mother.. my biological mother who on 16 Aug 1976 died in a car accident in Auburn Ca. She was drunk and she drove off a cliff. I am very torn today She was never close to me but I think it was her way of saving me she knew how screwed up she was now as a mother myself I think I see just how great her sacrifice was I was angry for many years the last thing II ever said to her was "I hate you"....

[Icarus]

Sex is on my mind right now, well its on my mind lately. Its been a long time, and I find that I am really craving a good dirty romp. I even miss talking dirty lol. I never thought a person could 'miss' sex

[jac]

What's on my mind...

The Folk Festival will be in town next weekend, Friday through Sunday. This IS my most favorite event this city offers and I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of it. I've volunteered twice in it and have attended every year. I love music and festivals.

This week is the setup week and the downtown area will be hoppin' with the preparations. Crews will be out errecting the four stages, setting up the bigtop tents, unloading chairs by the gazillions and the porta-potties... hOOOOOly crap!! (no pun intended)... hee hee

Something I completely forgot about is the big riverboat cruise ship that docks on the river. OMG I bet it's there already!! I love that damn thing and how it's lit up at night on the water :) Last year I was hanging at a local pub (the one I walk to for karaoke every now and then) and a couple of guys were sitting at the end of the bar. I walked up beside them to order and we got into a little chat... that last for the next three days off and on. They were crew members of the riverboat. I wonder if they are back in town/at the pub... Maybe I'll walk down there tomorrow evening after work. Not tonight, I'm too tired. Hope I'm not tomorrow :blink:

[morningstar55]

A pondering question ....
...do fish drink water ?....

[sierragirrl]

i was so very blessed when i purchased my lil dog..she is just the most awesome thing i have ever spent money on. have her all bathed up and were heading down the hill to chico to go see the fire fighters that are camped out at the fair grounds. Molli is a lover and i figure she can lift some spirits..

snuggling in bed with Daddi, off i go,, nite nite Planet!

[Soft*Silver]

I think I accidentally discovered the root of my insomnia. I think I am allergic to Vicodine.

I use to take alot of vicodine when I was setting up the store. And I couldnt sleep at all. I was up until 9am and then would sleep only 3 hours until noon.

then the store opened and I wasnt taxing myself physically so i didnt need vicodine. I started sleeping better after the store opened..I attributed this to working.

Then I overdid work and needed A vicodine. I took ONE last night. I was up all night. tossed and turned, itched like a junkie, wide awake and miserable. It was so noticable because all the immunity I had developed, wore off and just ONE made me stay up again until 8am...and I had to get up at 10am.

Damn I am tired...so very tired...

[Kenna]

Maybe I'm wrong in this thinking... Maybe I'm expecting too much from others... but........

When it is stated that the to-go trays are for the leftovers to be put into so that meals can be passed out in the evening to the kids living on the streets, one would think these trays would have a serving of "each" of the various leftovers to offer variety... NOT put all the cole slaw by itself in three containers and all the beans n' rice by itself in another three containers!!

It's not rocket science people!! And NO the bread doesn't sit on top of all of that... It will get soggy!!

OMG would you really eat that crap?? Then why in the hell would you degrade the kids and fix it like that for them???

Grrrrrrrr :angry: I'm pissed!!

Oh and to top it off... I had to redo all thw crap you left behind... which means waste of materials, extra time I wasn't up for today and salvaging as much of the food as possible to make it as presentable as possible. Inconsiderate... why work in a place like a homeless shelter if you can't have compassion?? :sigh:

[Nurse Darlin]

HaD my job interview today. I feel good about it. Thank you all for the good wishes! Now, I just cross my fingers and wait for the news!!

I got very absorbed thinking about another topic here. It is this one:

Would you date someone who believed in God?

I've given it thought on other occasions too when it has been visible on the front page. Hmmm, still don't have the answer yet ...

I think when I see it, I let it work my mind too much.

Oh well, no femme on the horizon ... don't have to answer anything today. :)


Came back and edited:
I think that topic is a trick question. *grin*

[jac]

So much is on my mind... In fact, too much....

Enough that I got myself ready for an evening of overnight. I walked to work only to be asked by the staff on shift, "Who are you filling in for?" I answered, "Well, not exactly sure but I was on the schedule." Needless to say, after looking at the schedule downstairs I was a week early. Handed in the keys and walked back out.

I could have gone to the pub again, which I had stopped in before the supposed shift to say hello to a couple of friends, but I saw one of the kids was in there singing karaoke. I'm not exactly sure what I am supposed to do in that situation but I just didn't feel comfortable having a drink and whoopin' it up with my friends only for the kid to go out running her mouth later...

Now what to do...? I'm wide awake and still got a shit-ton on my mind :blink:

[Leigh]

Sitting here thinking that it amazes me what fate does, and how it works in the most mysterious of ways :D

~ the future, and what it holds for me

~ finding the time to go to the gym, or just going for walks, and getting back to where i am happy with myself

~ thinking about looking for a job once my sister is back at school and i am no longer responsible for watching her 6 times a week during the day

~ planning the future; looking into moving out hopefully sometime next year and really carving out a life for myself

The extremely odd dream I had last night. Woke up smh and thinking wtf

[BoDy*ShOt]

this is on my mind..
an almost overwhelming need to re-evaluate and make a drastic change.

[laruss]

My mind is swirling.
- what I can and can't say without getting pounced on.
- perceptions and how different they are for each and every one of us.
- my living situation.
- my work situation.
- my life plans and how best to make them come together.
- MONEY
- my car and how unhappy I am at some of the fixes, or lack there of.
- how happy I am and yet in complete turmoil in my life.
- how freaking hot it is out.
- I'm hungry.
- I think I need more coffee.
- how I wish I was painting today.
- how I need to finish packing.
- and a bunch of other things I can't even get a handle on enough to figure them out to write them down.

Did I mention my mind was swirling.

[Ginger]

On my mind is an editor who's really putting me through hoops to get into his journal, a nice juicy one that would open a lot of other doors.

On my mind are thoughts like, "He knows what a coup it is to get in his magazine, and that's why he's being so persnickety," or "This poem must be horrible if he's making so many changes," or "Why didn't X or Y or any other of my poet friends tell me it needed this much work—is everyone just being nice to me???"

And then I take some control over what's on my mind, and calm myself down, and smile at my good fortune.

[Blue_Daddy-O]

As I was closing up the store tonight, I learned my nearest competitor's building was on fire. I am pretty sure it will close him up (probably for good) with smoke and water damage. I am not happy about this. :| It will most likely increase the value of my business by thousands but I would much rather that my competitor still be up and running for a multitude of reasons. Soooooo....here Wego!!

i am grateful that i have local friends from long long ago...15, 20 years that are here for me and my family. I am lucky guy for that. I like the friendships that are so solid that you can say anything or do anything...or not say anything or not do anything...and show up out of the blue and talk to one another just like we had talked for years. No b.s...just genuine truth and facts. I am lucky that they are here.

Letting go of shoes.

Our king size bed is covered with a HUGE pile of my shoes and there's a tiny pile on the floor that are donations... The donation pile needs to get a LOT bigger but all of my shoes are great--Still, I have to downsize.

Though I am thinking I can do under-bed storage for shoes? We're giving up our larger condo for a house with a yard.

I've been in my (dual!) closets all day and my things aren't getting sorted as quickly as I'd like. Plus, I've been a total FREAK on the phone with Q, multiple hysterical fits about my wardrobe.

The G shot? G-spot amplification? I cannot even imagine needing something like that, It might just kill me as I already have and "amplified" g-spot.

And... I didn't know the g-spot is actually the internal larger part the clitoris. But, it makes sense.

And... that a porn star has insured both his hands for 2 million each because he has mastered the 'spiderman' move that can find ANY womans g-spot.

So.... I guess sex is on my mind tonight. I guess I am in a better mood than earlier.

The same thing that's been on my mind forever....

A few acres of land with a big old house, a pottery studio, chickens, a big garden. It's always been on my mind but usually I can push it away. I work right in the thick of things and most of the time I'm ok with hustle and bustle. But, I think someday I'm just going to break down and be that crazy reclusive lady who lives alone out in the country and only comes to town to sell her pottery, eggs and vegetables.

I'm tired. Sigh.

i've had much time to dig deep within and explore my path in spirituality, recovery and life. So many changes in this passed year has been completely overwhelming.. i very often stop and take a look around me, and try to make sense of it all. It started with one small change which flourished into so many positive things one after another.. i love how everything comes together though and how i've had this girl buried deep within me, waiting to spring to life. my confidence builds, and my priorities shifted & i feel as though i am finally on such a path of healing and peace. i am so in touch with the most tender parts within, and i am embracing it all... Exploring myself has been such a treat, and i'm loving the girl i'm finally getting to know and allowing to spread her wings and soar.

[InkSlinger]

Should I change out of my bed clothes yet?

[Sassy]

Anyone out there know what the towing capacity is for a Mazda3?
Neither did I. It's zero.

... Crap. :(

[Blue_Daddy-O]

Sure are lots of BFers on tonight! The most I think I've ever seen!

[Ginger]

On my mind ... all the people fearing for their lives and their homes, as Hurricane Isaac assaults Louisiana.

Thinking about Dee, and others on the site, whose loved ones are there.

Thinking about Katrina in 2005, and watching the news at work, our sadness, the homemade "HELP US" sign a family made on their roof.

For so many, no one did help. I hope it's different this time.

[clay]

Just as so many of us here tonight, I have that Hurricane on my mind!!! The news links I have been able to see online...the people are just pitiful! Deja Vu...all over again!
This storm is a Cat 1...but the issue is...time it hit....the water amount to be dumped (like 20 inches) and the possibility of a 6 to 12 ft. storm surge. And in the dark of the night, no one can see a tornado or water spout...I have lived a couple of those...it is Hell!
So, the folks affected tonight and in the next couple of days, as this could linger in the area 24 to 48 hours...
Abd dee's family...everyone in the area....my heart just breaks...I am saddened tonight.....(w)

[Canela]

On my mind are several things:

That my decisions are mine alone to make regarding any and every aspect of my life, especially my relationships and what I will allow for me.

It seems like everyone and their mother wants a say in how I do things. I don't think it's up to anyone besides me, what I will and won't stand for in any relationship, friendship, etc.. .

Then I remind myself if I cared what they thought it might bother me. But I really don't. Because the truth is that in the end, I live with my choices and any consequences that arise from them.

I'm grateful to the friends and family that "get me".

I'm also praying for my friends and loved ones and everyone for that matter,
in the path of the hurricane. May God protect them all.

[Glenn]

Hm..my neighbor's son has always been such a quiet and humble sort of guy during the six years I've known them, until he blew up their garage and four cars last saturday. hmm..

Pumpkin empanadas...

Waiting for the rains from Issac to start. Already having some wind gust. I hope we don't lose power...

[Hollylane]

3 weeks...omd...3 weeks...

[Hollylane]

The same thing that's been on my mind forever....

A few acres of land with a big old house, a pottery studio, chickens, a big garden. It's always been on my mind but usually I can push it away. I work right in the thick of things and most of the time I'm ok with hustle and bustle. But, I think someday I'm just going to break down and be that crazy reclusive lady who lives alone out in the country and only comes to town to sell her pottery, eggs and vegetables.

I'm tired. Sigh.

I was that lady, minus the crazy and the pottery, throw in goat milk and some duck eggs...and I quite enjoyed it...I don't think that would make you crazy if it is your dream...It wasn't all that reclusive when I take into consideration all the friendships that I quickly developed with like minded folks who lived out in the country by choice or by inheritance...There were lots of cooking parties, canning parties, hay bailing parties, singing and instrument playing, and plenty of time sitting around porches...It was wonderful.

[Greyson]

My mom, my dad, my sisters and brothers. "The family" is on my mind. I feel at peace with what is in my heart about what is on my mind.

[girl_dee]

my family back home. Damn hurricanes!

[AnnRkey]

This mosquito bite sure does itch...Wheres my anti itch cream?

[Kenna]

why haven't I finished cleaning my house?

[Leigh]

Thinking about the gym tomorrow, and getting into a new routine starting next week :)

[Prudence]

Too much. I want to learn to stop thinking without falling asleep.

[*Anya*]

Too much. I want to learn to stop thinking without falling asleep.

Too much. I want to learn to fall asleep without thinking so much.

[Sun]

Love. Endings.

Beginnings.

Coffee.

My friends who are there for me to listen.

More coffee.

Work. Fire and knives. Back to the grind ; )

Lastly..what a beautiful day.

Gratitude.

[Canela]

Pumpkin empanadas...

On my way to the panaderia now. Yay!

[StoneOne]

The future and what waits for me
The road that brought me here
All the love I feel and all the love that is sent my way
What I have learned and what I still have to learn
Everything happens for a reason
I do not have all the answers and how happy I am to realize this

[girl_dee]

That the world seems to move on while others are still in distress.

[MsTinkerbelly]

I live in a very suburban neighboorhood, but lately we have had to extra careful and carry a big stick because we have at least 2 coyotes wandering through the area!

Kasey was confronted by two of them when she was walking our small dog a few evening ago, and thank goodness she had her stick and knew to yell and make herself to appear big and mean.

Come to find out the city of Long Beach brought the coyotes to the airport nearby to keep down the population of critters! :blink:

[Nerdboi]

This has probably already been said or thought about.

It seems that since life is so short you want to use your time wisely but how can you use your time wisely if you don't know how to use your time wisely. It's all subjective I guess.

Dealing with drama from a high school friend, and learning that I'm much stronger than I give myself credit for :)

I have stood by the same tree I always stand by to wait for the bus and within the past three days I have had to watch two funneral processions pass me by. Not sure what this means but it's kinda starting to creep me out a bit.

[spritzerJ]

Maybe you are meant to see it to feel grateful to be watching and alive right now. Maybe you saw them to remind you how precious you are to your family. Now go to the doctor and begin getting right on annual wellness activities.

[Hollylane]

My suitcases arrived! That was stupendously speedy delivery! Now I can't stop packing and unpacking the bags in the part of my brain that keeps the lists...

During Hurricane Katrina 250,000 Dogs and Cats were left behind. The cruelty of selfish human beings! And I'm talking able bodied people not the elderly and disabled. If I couldn't get out I would not leave without my beloveds! I would be on a rooftop with my Dogs and I guess my girl too, since she said she would stay behind with me. If I had enough time to get out and even if I didn't have a car or money, my ass would be walking north with my Dogs and sleep on the side of the road if we had to. How can people think of only themselves and not the suffering of other living beings. Instead they are left alone in death traps to potentially die or to just die a suffering death. Makes me terribly angry!

Earlier tonight we went for a walk to the place where we shared our very first kiss almost 13 years ago. Over the years I would drive by the river look down and remember it. Sometimes she lived in the state sometimes she didn't. I lived all over but always called that place home. But Everytime I drove by that spot I would think of her. Always. I never thought I would see the day when we would be there again. But there we were, so I took her hand as we walked back to the car, she smiled at me as I opened the car door for her like I always do, but before she got in I kissed her. In the same spot we did, 13 long years ago. It's amazing how so much can change, but our feelings have always been the same. She was my best friend than and she's still my best friend today. That was the best walk I've had in a very very long time.

[Scuba]

Time wears her not; she doth his chariot guide;
Mortality below her orb is placed.
--Raleigh

The full-orbed moon with unchanged ray
Mounts up the eastern sky,
Not doomed to these short nights for aye,
But shining steadily.

She does not wane, but my fortune,
Which her rays do not bless,
My wayward path declineth soon,
But she shines not the less.

And if she faintly glimmers here,
And paled is her light,
Yet alway in her proper sphere
She's mistress of the night.

~~Henry David Thoreau~~

I just woke up from a horrible nightmare ... The kind that makes you sweat.

[Mrs Arcstriker]

I just woke up from a horrible nightmare ... The kind that makes you sweat.

Those are the worst! Take a deep breath, surround yourself with positive thoughts, and know that this is only the crap that your head churns out right before you hit REM sleep. This happens to me every time that Arc is on the night shift, and what I do to get over it is to find something comforting and familiar and embrace it...Remind yourself that this is a nightmare and you are stronger than it...If you need to, use my mantra...Nothing I cannot see and touch can hurt me...

[BoiJen]

-wondering if another kidney is coming. this is not right, but i'm thankful for what i get. :vigil:

[bkisbutchenuff]

Way too much on my mind...but clearing my mind for the long weekend...TGIF!

[RockOn]

Thank you for your suggestions and supportive, kind words.

I have not had a banger like this one in so long that I cannot remember. At least it did not escalate to the point of me thrashing around and yelling ... my dogs were calmly sleeping when I awakened.

I may be wrong but I do not think people who are inexperienced in night terrors can grasp how frightening they can be. From your comments, I see you are quite familiar because you can predict what will bring one on and ... very important - how to comfort yourself.
I am 100% okay this morning. Eating spicy food for dinner late night and going to bed immediately afterwards is a definite trigger for me. Not the case last night - I had watermelon for dinner.

Anyway, all good this morning. :) Again, I appreciate you taking time to provide your comments.

[Kenna]

lots of fun stuff *sarcastically*
taking car to have engine torn apart... praying they put all the pieces back and ready Saturday
and really fun stuff *weekend plans*
hearing back from landlords in distant town, I might be able to keep the farm if this works out!

[sylvie]

The safe, protected feeling i have when i am with Daddy, always.
He even protects me from my own self because i really can be my own worst enemy and critic at times. His constant support and love and endlessly being present in Our relationship, which always makes me feel so loved.

His rules, obeying them. Being His, proudly and how it feels to be the girl on His arm. my online time management, needing His permission and now the ease in time management as specified by Him (something i am extremely grateful for today). Taking care of Our home, helping Him and the others at the restaurant, meeting His expectations in things He wants of me, hearing the words goodgirl ..His voice of reason, His calm and patience, His excitement and laughter..Our moon..Our snuggle time & being showered with His kisses to wake me up this morning...

i feel very grateful to be here with Him, and anxiously awaiting this next year to move here with Him...i find reasons to love, cherish, respect and admire Him more and more every day and definitely counting my blessings..

"G" is on my mind and obviously the letter of the day. My mind is consumed with guns. There are about 20 or 30 long guns at the auction tonight. And a grill I'd like to have. So see "G" is on my mind today.

[RockOn]

Using my cell ...

I have managed ...


to post 2 of the exact same photos in the gallery.

I did this once last year too.

So far, I cannot remove it. I cannot see an "Edit Photo" dropdown that takes me to the delete photo checkbox indicating "Careful! When it is gone, it is gone"

:(

A case of user error (me) and maybe limitations of this cell. Arghhhh! And unable to use workstation at work. It would give me a RESTRICTED error. These errors are logged and the links get sent to the big chief. Maybe by Thanksgiving, I will finally notice that "get rid of photos" checkbox.

Maybe moving back to the US in a couple of years? I was happier chatting with random people in Seattle this past weekend than I have been in Vancouver in a long time. Not a friendly city.

[Leigh]

My workout this morning ~ it was a good one :)

[Ms. Meander]

I am thinking about my son more than usual today. I miss him. A lot. He lives nearby but ---- he's 20. I'm told this is normal, that he'll come back around. I'm sure that's part of it but I am afraid there is more to it. We have a complicated history. While I'm always reaching out to heal our wounds, he just does not want to be reached right now. Our interactions are always loving and kind just very, very, sparse these days. I am reduced to stalking him on FB -- thank god he lets me! I will continue to be here loving him whether he knows it or not, whether he cares or not - and when he's ready I will still be here. Always.

[StrongButch]

A lovely weekend with my new g-f!

[Miss Scarlett]

What a difference a year makes...

It was one year ago today that i was getting ready to move from Charlotte to a small town...i was uncertain whether or not i would really be happy but my friends lived here and my new apartment was wonderful and full of promise...

It's been an interesting year to say the least...full of gains and losses...

Also one year ago today i lost 20% of my income when my boss cut my hours at work because of a slow down in business...

Some friendships faded but were quickly replaced by new ones...

my eyes were opened to some things, i learned some truths and despite this i'm still standing and very happy...i've forgiven those that tried to hurt me, restructured my budget, worked very hard to rechannel and learn from the negative things as well as the hurt and pain which led to a deep strengthening of myself and healing of mind, soul and spirit...i am thankful for it all because i am a better and happier person.

Living in a small town has been a learning experience for me...people are so friendly and kind...everyone is your neighbor, willing to lend a hand...they truly care about each other...

Business has picked up significantly but not my hours and i'm not sure i want them to because i truly love my 3 day weekends...though my budget would love an increase in salary...

By far the most wonderful thing to happen was meeting my Beloved...a number of years ago i had vowed to never again give that special part of my heart to anyone but hy never gave up on the possibility of us and for that i am forever grateful...Hy completes me...hy is my heart and soul...the smile on my face, the spring in my staggered steps, the sparkle in my eyes and the beautiful song in my heart...i cannot and do not want to imagine my life without hym...i cherish hym...

Yes, it's been quite a year indeed and each new day is better than the one before...

[Blade]

I stood in the kitchen a bit ago and ordered everything to return to it's rightful place and clean by the time I come back......I'ma go back in there and see what happened.
