[falloutmk]

Changes are on my mind, more steady like a tortise and less like a freight train this time around...

[TheMerryFairy]

What is on my mind,you ask? Winter air, using a budget ledger as a journal for my year long goals, my dissatisfaction with lndor truffles at this moment in time, color schemes, product lines and one person who thinks they will get their hands on creating my vision! (Boy are they sadly mistaken).

[durrrrrrrr]

My teeth hurt and my eyes ache but at least my jeans fit !

A friend of mine and her 2 year old babygirl did not get a visit from Santa as Mom came upon some hard times and did not tell anyone. Thinking that she was doing the best thing she moved in with her Mother and Mother put them out in the street right before Christmas.

Who puts a baby in the street?? My head hurts from this but not as much as my heart hurts. So I put out a call on my Facebook wall and a bunch of friends are going to pay it forward and send gifts from Santa. I told Mom that Santa apparently lost his GPS but I think we can help him out ;)

[TheMerryFairy]

How to have a conversation I KNOW I need to have. The first words out of my mouth will set the tone for the rest of the discussion, or argument and I know I need to be thoughtful. I hope it goes better than I'm expecting.

a loss is on my mind. something i never had, but somehow I lost it.

Planning strategy for Morrowind

[SFvince64]

I have a friend who talks too damn much and he got on my nerves tonight. He's highly opinionated, writes long tomes on Facebook about anything and everything, and he doesn't know when to just let something go. I like to think of myself as a nice guy so I just grin and bear it but sometimes I really want to tell him to shut his fucking pie hole. // end rant

[laruss]

Can I do this again. Why wasn't I given a choice. Understanding and yet not. Now what do I do. Is it fair to be angry. Compassion... this is what has swirled through my mind all night.

i was thinking last night how blessed i am.. i went to bed with a smile.. the house all warm from the wonderfull fire in the place, got under my down comforter atop of a feather bed topper, had my soft flannel jammas on and it was just so cozy, but it made me think of those that are not as blessed as me so i said a prayer for things to get better for everyone that has been struggeling in our broken economy.

I have never experienced this. It may work its way into a thought.

similar thoughts here but I am pinning, I am dominating, I am pushing, shoving and have so many times yet not for some time.

[TheMerryFairy]

What is on my mind? I hope the day brought you happiness. I found myself in the depths of communal love and music today. It was an inspirational event. I couldn't help but wander in my own thoughts at work (between clients). For the first time in awhile I looked forward to going home. I have been anticipating a nice conversation and the same comfort which surrounded me last night.

[VintageFemme]

Van Halen.
David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar? Sammy for me but I know I'm in the minority with that choice. No matter. I've also got Moose Munch on my mind. I ate it all. Now what? And the dream I had this morning right before waking up. I don't usually remember my dreams. It has stayed with me all day and it was not about Van Halen, Sammy Hagar or Moose Munch...

Monkey mind.

[TheMerryFairy]

Endless details and questions that can come up in conversations, hair color/styles, netflix movie selections and what I should wear to bed tonight. It's a bit cold but I might be able to fix that with an extra layer of blankets.

[KCBUTCH]

Hope, journey, endless growth, My gifts shared, WHO I am , where I am going and WHY. Standing, running, walking, breathing, trusting.:blink:

[Soft*Silver]

someone came to me for business advice. Its nice to know that I have something to offer. I remember all too well when I myself felt I had not much to offer anyone, after having been with someone who rolled their eyes everytime I spoke. Never again. I have grown oh so strong and the crippling spirit they left me with has taken me much longer to heal than the physical healing of the accident with the semi truck.

I'm excited for Monday, when I'll begin being a teacher at the correctional facility where I am also a counselor. They are drastically under staffed and needed a teacher 4 hours a day for GED prep class so I jumped on it out of curiosity.

[TheMerryFairy]

Fashion it seems tonight. This could get very interesting.

[Ang]

how wonderful it will be to be back home soon. Travelling back and forth between two cities for work is not so glamourous. The perks do not outweigh the comforts of home.

[clay]

Suffice it to say, mine is very active.....lots and lots of things!!!!...:blink:

[DamonK]

Quite a few things... Some innocent. Some not. Some mischievous as hell!

[MaggieBluIze]

My brain is in over drive tonight ...
Usually that means no sleep ... We will see.

One HUGELY Wonderful topic that is on my brain is
My Beautiful Fairy Princess Aimee will be a 1 year old on the 9th!!!

I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around being a Nana ...
I am so very impressed with what a wonderful Mom the Divine Miss M is ...
And I'm blown away with what a blessing Aimee has been to ALL our lives and in what ways!!!!

My beautiful daughter is a fighter ... A survivor ... A walking testament ...
My amazing grand daughter is a light of joy, purity and happiness!!!!!

My brain feels like :seeingstars: but my :heartbeat: could not be more full of love ...

:praying:We may not always understand it, but life does what it needs to, when it should, for the most part!! :praying:

[Leigh]

Starting a new position within my same company, knowing how flexible they are and that I can move up in the company :)

[Talon]

Just that I *still* cannot find my mobile...Things just are not going very smoothly today...so, I think that I need to stop trying so hard..and just let it be.

[cinnamongrrl]

The upcoming move...the change that it will bring. Positive change :) I also decided to look at schools closer to where we will be living, and found that the local community college has an LPN curriculum :) I am applying Wednesday, and got the nursing school entrance exam study guide in the meantime. I already meet the requirements for the program because of all the classes I have taken previously! (over 80 credits) so really all I have to do is do very well on the TEAS test (entrance exam) but I test well and this should be relatively feasible
This program is also HALF the cost of the one i was considering previously, and their schedule is far better. It LOOKS like I will be going to school 4 days a week INCLUDING clinical! And they have school during the intercession so as to get the program done sooner. (40 weeks) It occurs to me that that is the amount of time that a woman is TYPICALLY pregnant for...lol I'm very excited about this development. And ESPECIALLY happy that I haven't missed the deadline for application...

:hangloose:

[MaggieBluIze]

My sweet daughter is heavy on my mind ...

She has no insurance and is now suffering from
both her eyes having pink eye and
a bad ear infection :blink:

I want to help her ...
I want to fix it all ...

It is so very hard to just sit back and
just be there for her when she needs me.

*sending love and healing to her always*

[TheMerryFairy]

Being nervous. I don't know why, I just am. Lots of changes are coming, or already have. Some big, some small. It's like having a pebble in your shoe. You have to feel the pebble before you can remove it.

I am thinking about work but I am keeping myself distracted with a movie.

[Miss Scarlett]

So many wonderful things...:hk4:

Important meeting tomorrow and how it will play out

[PoeticWitch]

My great idea for art on a game board and hoping a friend who is an awesome tattooist can help me out in that regards.

How happy I am with my life, even when my drama free bubble is occasionally popped.

New friends, old friends, all friends are good friends when you cry for help and they are there by your side.

[TheMerryFairy]

There are many thoughts, I don't know where to begin. I didn't sleep all that well. I haven't been able to sleep more than a couple of hours a night since last week. I am craving a lot of things, including something caffeinated.

I am thinking about friends, creatnig a starting point with my list, little daydreams, work and if I can manage to stand long enough to make something for breakfast.

[DamonK]

What I need

[laruss]

Moving, visiting my dad, swimsuits I sent the grandbabies, new living situation, death, struggle, my art, my storage, puppies, cats, mice, Ellen, travel, friends I haven't called, my girl, other people in my life, coffee, phone chargers, mailboxes, valentines day, birthday parties, school, car insurance, vehicles, road trips, weather, my daughters... I think sometimes I think too much. :blink:

Whether there's a proper migraine brewing.
Decaff tea and coffee options in public venues. Step 3 procrastination. Neem oil. Cypress EO. Recipes for treating thread veins.

Then there's the ongoing thoughts and mullings upon the nature of friendship, trust, recovery and hypocrisy.

Just a quiet day in the life of m'brain cell.

How busy we get with our lives.
How important friends are.

[sylvie]

my 16 yr old daughter.
The difficulty of wrapping my head around what she is doing.
The way she talks down to me, and how that makes me feel. she knows i take things to heart, and tends to play on that. i worry about her daily, i miss her so much. i want her to be safe, to make good choices and i know she has life lessons to learn but that's hard to swallow and sit by and watch. At 16 years old, however, i no longer have a say except when she is willing to listen. i am doing everything in my power to hold her close, i don't want to push her away. And i know one day she will look back and know that her mother is and always was in her corner and find her way back home. Until then, i will worry.

-Thinking of you everyday pickle princess, & love you to the moon and back, even if you don't want to hear it right now.-

[TheMerryFairy]

I wonder what Friday evening will bring, how much cooking I will have to do to satisfy, how many wonderful conversations could present themselves and if I am really prepared for tomorrows opportunity. I guess I can just live in the moment and go with the flow!

Is there a full moon or something tonight?

Two emails received today and their potential meanings
Consequences that could result from both of them... And not all consequences are bad

Is there a full moon or something tonight?

No, no full moon. Today is the 1st quarter.

What is on my mind today is why people become the kinds of friends they are in my life. I have those friends that are so close, they can be counted on for anything, at any time. They don't need to talk to me all the time but I know I can count on them for anything if its needed, whether that is company for a coffee date, last minute babysitting, a much needed extra $20 to fill in a gap, or simply a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. I also know I would do the same for them. These friends really do BECOME family to me. But other friends who I have had and kept over the years did not become that for one reason or another.

Recently I am realizing that much of this is because they do not reflect the qualities I hold closest in my heart. I look for many things in my tightest circle, and the lack of one of those qualities inevitably leads to a much more distant friendship. As I have thought about that this past week or so I have started to think about what those qualities are. I really do look for qualities like generosity, understanding, open-mindedness, honesty, and good communication skills. I have always valued these qualities.

What I am realizing is included in these that I did not see before is thriftiness and economy of life. Not that they have very little, or that they want very little, but that they can make so much FROM very little. I do not have to have the best and most expensive of things to have a happy and full life. I personally have a house full of things that make me very happy. But I spend my money wisely and I meet both my needs and my desires without overextending myself. I choose to make a picnic, instead of eat out. I choose to go to the beach instead of a theme park. I choose to buy a used couch or car, instead of spending more on a new one. I have made a lot of choices to put my family ahead of money. I choose to live on less and to have more.

I guess today I am thinking about how important this quality is to me... and how some people still don't get it.

Thank you for your sincere post. I, like you, value these things in my own life and among those who have become friends and family.

It is rare to find people who possess many of these qualities in the same ways we do and even more rare to find people who seem to have them all. Lately I have been considering how blessed I am - old friends and new.

This.right.here!
Precisely.
I, too, live within my means....and I may not always get what I want, but I am able to get what I need...and it builds one's self values.... To do so, and with dignity and humbleness, makes one appreciate so much more...just what IS exactly important in life.
Those simplest of things...basic necessities we have to have....the smallest of things are important...and where there is a will..there is a way. I know I am branching off in another direction..but still..makes us so much more humble..so much more appreciative...because we actually DO know what is important in life.
Thank YOU, Jenn....I DO get it, too......:)

Clay, I am with you! I live within my means and I love to browse for a nice bargain gem find. Something to add personality to my space and to allow me to pick up on the sentimental value of what is important in my life.

The small things do matter, and some of the bigger things that have nothing to do with material goods.

I am forever appreciative of what I have been given and the tools I have to change my direction when it is time.

i was brought up from very materialistic parents .. i am the opposite of them .. when my friends and i would go out ,, we took care of those who couldnt afford what were doing .. thats what REAL friends do .. when money takes presidence over friendship ,, thats not friends,,,,

What is on my mind... this morning.

I got a call while at work yesterday but was totally unable to answer it. I just listened to the voicemail this morning. The test results from the ultrasound must be in at my gyno's office.

I guess I should have tried to take the call. Now I have to wait till Monday... ugh! :sigh:

[BoiJen]

things i've realized about the girl in my life that is like deja vu :|

[TheMerryFairy]

A beachhouse, some wine, a little music and those who I'd like to share the experience with.

[DamonK]

Breaking down bricks together

[Random]

This flipping back over to day living is harder than it looks...

I'm stuck in a fall asleep around 7pm and wake up around 3 loop...

My bio-rhythm is all screwed up and when you factor in the cold...

Well my life is do something, lay on the sofa for a couple hours, do something, lay on the sofa for a couple hours...

I'm sick of tv, sick of the computer...

whine, whine, whine...

[DamonK]

Intense eyes that seem to see through me, as they always have

And now I'm going to bed before I get in trouble.

Sex for breakfast-Christina Aguilera asking myself why you sitting here eating a bowl of cereal. (lol) I might need to reconsider this behaving after this song. (lol)

[Sun]

Next week I attend a conference of roughly, 3,500 LGBT activists, allies, advocates, lobbyists, justice workers and those who represent faith communities that are welcoming to all of us.

As I prepare for the work that I am to do at this conference, I am opening up memories of the past year, and the pain that others have shared with me, in the struggle for equality. The struggle, by the way, is getting old. The very fist time that I exchanged information with an LGBT civil rights advocate so that we could work on marriage equality, was 21 years ago. I was so much younger and full of fire for the fight.

Now I see how much the fight has cost us. Sometimes I want to wake up and have this all be over and done with. I do not want to read about another family torn apart, another same sex couple denied rights, benefits, services. And in the worst of the worst case scenario's, I do not want to read about the death of one more partner who trusted that the military, or her company, would do the right thing and release benefits to her partner.

My soul...literally every fiber of my being, is aching for change to come, to see my people treated as equal in the eyes of the law. Will I allow this to define me or my purpose on this earth?

Hell no...because in my world the ultimate source is my higher power. Love. By all of the names that we call our higher power, God, Goddess, Earth Mother, Buddha, Allah, Spirit of Life, The Divine, Maker, the great unknown...I call this love. I have never believed in a punishing God. If there is a source that is greater and all loving then so be it, and let it love each of us equally.

Ahead of me lies a huge and life changing responsibility. I have to deliver the right words to my people, who come to this convention open, vulnerable, hungry for knowledge and community, seeking, teaching, working, and often, hurting. Finding the words that are going to help them on their journey has not been the easiest thing for me, so I step back, and I witness. What I see is pain all around me. What I see is a community of civil rights advocates who are not going to allow a second class citizenship be a reality for any of us.

What I see is hope.

What I see is a pathway of justice burning brightly leading us into the future.

So as the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force convene's next week, in Atlanta, the home town of Dr King, let us remember the messages that he wanted all of us to take with us:

"We can not walk alone" & "Do not sleep through the revolution"

Each one of us can be a contributor to this revolution that is ongoing and being carried out by the few to benefit the many. If you have not written or called a Senator or Representative regarding a piece of legislation or a concern, now is the time.

As the new legislative sessions begin, log on to your state website and get updates, we need all of you to be all in. If you need training to learn how to do this, we can teach you.

We need one another, because we can not walk alone. There will be no marriage equality, or stronger hate crimes legislation, access to adoption for all people, fairness ..if we do not do this work together.

Please, waste no time. Use tomorrow to join the movement.

Thank you

Sun

What's for lunch...

[DamonK]

I'm awake.... I think that's what we consider this.

Currently, I consider it semi conscious and in serious need of coffee.

I have homework to do.

This week is a big one academic wise.

And last night is on my mind.

[Angeltoes]

Thank you for sharing that piece with us. I feel fortunate to have you as an advocate! I'm so excited about this opportunity you have at the NGLTF to get your message out. You ARE going to be an inspiration. :congrats:

[TheMerryFairy]

Friends are on my mind. I am worried about how they are doing. I am sure they are well. I am thinking about getting to know some of them better, long conversations and shared moments.

[KCBUTCH]

Next week I attend a conference of roughly, 3,500 LGBT activists, allies, advocates, lobbyists, justice workers and those who represent faith communities that are welcoming to all of us.

As I prepare for the work that I am to do at this conference, I am opening up memories of the past year, and the pain that others have shared with me, in the struggle for equality. The struggle, by the way, is getting old. The very fist time that I exchanged information with an LGBT civil rights advocate so that we could work on marriage equality, was 21 years ago. I was so much younger and full of fire for the fight.

Now I see how much the fight has cost us. Sometimes I want to wake up and have this all be over and done with. I do not want to read about another family torn apart, another same sex couple denied rights, benefits, services. And in the worst of the worst case scenario's, I do not want to read about the death of one more partner who trusted that the military, or her company, would do the right thing and release benefits to her partner.

My soul...literally every fiber of my being, is aching for change to come, to see my people treated as equal in the eyes of the law. Will I allow this to define me or my purpose on this earth?

Hell no...because in my world the ultimate source is my higher power. Love. By all of the names that we call our higher power, God, Goddess, Earth Mother, Buddha, Allah, Spirit of Life, The Divine, Maker, the great unknown...I call this love. I have never believed in a punishing God. If there is a source that is greater and all loving then so be it, and let it love each of us equally.

Ahead of me lies a huge and life changing responsibility. I have to deliver the right words to my people, who come to this convention open, vulnerable, hungry for knowledge and community, seeking, teaching, working, and often, hurting. Finding the words that are going to help them on their journey has not been the easiest thing for me, so I step back, and I witness. What I see is pain all around me. What I see is a community of civil rights advocates who are not going to allow a second class citizenship be a reality for any of us.

What I see is hope.

What I see is a pathway of justice burning brightly leading us into the future.

You are such a powerful speaker. That post moved me - I have actual goosebumps. I agree with you. The struggle has cost us far too much but I refuse to give up on hope or love.

The world around is IS changing and although there is a lot of work to be done, we can each contribute to making the world a better and safer place for the LGTBQ community, our allies, all of those who have struggled before and those we stand together with in their time of struggle.

I am in solidarity with you, Sun. Have a wonderful trip and may the memories of your experience lead you further on your path to continue spreading the word of light and love.

Namaste!

Patriarchal customs, rituals and overall oppressive nature. I know that's a heavy thought for a beautiful monday morning, it's there none the less. Work is on my mind. It seems as though I may have knocked on the window of opportunity today. Hopefully I will be able to set my own schedule or find a way to make the next month or two less exhausting. I love what I do - I would just like some time to actually rest before the next week starts.

Work itself should be a good pace until spring break - then it will no doubt pick up.

I am still learning that a good barber is hard to find and even harder to hang onto? I didn't realize this so much until a conversation last night. It seems as though my travelling shop idea may actually be sustainable!

What else is on my mind? Breakfast or brunch, a friend, dreams, a few songs still floating around & all of these projects that I still have on the huge platter I have set out for myself.

[Talon]

Motorcycle season...getting a new spiked leather...buying a new set of cream-colored buckskin chaps, corsetted vest and cowboy boots.

The school work I need to get accomplished.

All the what I so lovingly call "red tape" phone calls I need to make. :cigar2:

How ironic that it is that my bio-family is all of a sudden haunting me with texts for my help and support. :jester:

Friends old and new with the ability to get closer to them.

How hungry I am....

How much I do not like her new work rules that prevent the random texts through out the day but how proud I am of her for following those rules and not getting in trouble. Since I know it is hard on her too. :rrose:

Decisions always more decisions that need to be made.

The pain level I am in and how much I miss the medication that at least made it bearable on some days.

Did I say the school work I need to get accomplished but am avoiding right now :blink:

[bright_arrow]

Reaching out to a friend in need and wishing I could cross the miles to give them the biggest hug in the world (f)

Everything will be alright. I'm here to listen and help in any way I can.

I am watching all the Presidential Inauguration coverage. I am thinking of the President's speech and what the next four years may hold. Today, once again I felt hope. To hear the words Stonewall, Gay and Lesbian spoken from the President's lips before the world, well I have lived to see history being made.

[PinkieLee]

my dad has been home from the hospital a total of 5 days and he's already picking back up his bad habits

the sun is shining bright and almost feels like spring

waiting for test results

a friend's daughter is in labor as we speak :)

a dear friend's mother is in ICU and the prognosis doesn't look so good :(

[Leigh]

Thinking about so many things: my job, the Reunion, loving my Daddy and how perfect we fit together, getting my passport for the Reunion, saving up for the flight and spending money, weight loss, the gym and just life in general phew that's alot :)

[JustLovelyJenn]

Being a parent is whats on my mind.

Its one of the most wonderful and most challenging experiences in my life. I cherish and value my children and their well being above anything else in this world. But there are days that my challenges with my son make me so sad. Its so hard to understand why things are the way they are for him. So hard to come to terms with the facts. That he will never been like other kids. He will always struggle to have friends. He will never quite understand the social constructs of the world around him. He will always fight against the rules...

As a mom its so hard to know I have to have locks and alarms on the doors and cabinets in my house. That I must run my house like a school with unbendable rules and expectations. That sometimes I must do things that make him cry.

Today I have to take away all of his toys. Clean his room of everything he enjoys, and then allow him to slowly earn back the things he loves. He made enough bad choices in a row to require this extreme punishment and it hurts my heart.

This is what is on my mind right now.

[Breezy]

I am sick. My temp is high. I feel like someone ran over me with a truck. I am wondering who in my area delivers soup.

[JustLovelyJenn]

I am sick. My temp is high. I feel like someone ran over me with a truck. I am wondering who in my area delivers soup.

I hope you feel better soon! I know when I am sick I usually opt for soup delivery from the local Chinese restaurant. My comfort soup is wanton soup. Will be sending lots of positive energy your way!

[clay]

I am sick. My temp is high. I feel like someone ran over me with a truck. I am wondering who in my area delivers soup.

awww {{{{{{{{{{{{bweeeee}}}}}}}}}}}}}.....I am sure, like Jenn said, there is a Chinese place close by you to deliver. The Won Ton is best soup to have...
Drink lots of gatorade, water, and such....I had some kind of crud for 6 weeks, had pneumo with it, so please...take care my friend...feel better soon

[DamonK]

I'm worried.
I have a lot of thoughts roaming around.
I'm absolutely lost.

However, I did just finish a test. 5 more to go.....

I think I'm hungry.
There is a particular someone that I wish were here to talk to me. Especially since she signs. I really don't feel like speaking today.

[TheMerryFairy]

Friends and all of this energy that I magically have today.

[Sun]

I am sick. My temp is high. I feel like someone ran over me with a truck. I am wondering who in my area delivers soup.

((((((((((((((((((((Breezy)))))))))))))))))))))))

It is so unfortunate that I am not close by because I would definitely bring you some soup, but you know that. Let me check around and see who I know in your area. Take extra good care of yourself.

[~ocean]

((((( breezy ))))) soo sry u r sick .

[~ocean]

on my mind is . I have very strong instincts . when will I learn not to defy them.

[DamonK]

Here is how the e-mail exchange went....

Me: I wish you were here. I need to talk to you. I really need someone who signs right now.

A few hours later....

Her: Skype!!!!! Text me!!!! I'll turn it on
Me: Wow.... we are geniuses..... :|

There have been several, several times since we met that we've needed to talk to the other and not thought of Skype until now.

Sometimes, it's funny how the most obvious answer is the one right in front of you.

That seems to be happening a lot to me lately.

[TheMerryFairy]

What is on my mind? My mind is still spinning from all of the informatino that came to me at once last night! It was quite pleasant. I feel like I am moving forward, still floating peacefully (and sometimes intensely).

I still feel like there are thoughts in my mind which will lead me to the answers eventually. I still wish I could get clarity from my meditations. I am still feeling a strong pull to my spirituality and maybe some guidance.

Great work days make me feel really connected to the art world. It's not just a job. It's a way to help boost confidence and make people feel something great about themselves. It inspires me to be more creative in other ways, on other projects & validates my focus.

I am thinking about friends, crushes, great conversations, the importance of wise advice through support and how lucky I am to have people around me who are protective of me in a good way! I appreciate a little over protective ness too, but this is exactly what I need right now.

I am finding great comfort in the company I keep. I have become more open to my gifts and I have learned the strength of my energy.

I have a few errands to run tonight and a coupe of more self care rituals to perform. If you can call it that. I love the guilt free feeling of treating myself.

I really am in the mood to watch a movie tonight. I'd love to get out this weekend or to even be able to meet up with a group of friends, old and new to play cards or board games or even a video game. I don't need to drink to have fun or to be social, but I am still craving that.

I need a haircut. I need to go shopping. I have boxes to pack, things to sell, research to do, lists to make & some considerate thinking to do about the little things.

Things are taking shape. It may still appear to be in the mist but my decisions have allowed the tides to turn. It's a wonderful feeling, liberation.

I am really interested in going to see the movie Beautiful Creatures. I love the name and the trailer looks really good.

I like things like Once upon a time & even Twilight (yeah, yeah)

How awesome it is that Gaige and I have conversations like this one:


Gaige: So, while you're watching the Pro-Bowl, I'll be doing some sewing.

Me: I can keep you informed about the game Baby.

Gaige: I think I'll start with Holly's (the dog) bed, she's old and needs something soft to lay on.

Me: Well, I can't complain about that, without feeling selfish, though I was hoping for my kitchen curtains. Holly's bed is much more important.

Websites, logo design, delicious mediteranean cuisine from earlier an what is on netflix that I can possibly watch tonight.

[TheMerryFairy]

I can't think a whole lot while doing this much eating. The best I can come up with is "This is so good! I want seconds. Should I be having seconds this late? Do I care?" "Maybe I'll skip seconds but have dessert! Dessert is yummy. Wine would go great with dessert and the flavors of my meal!" "Wine might be a bad idea, tonight." Meanwhile I'm just savoring every bite and I look like I am dancing to some weird song in my head.

Compatibility and desire....and how exactly those will play into my next romantic venture....if and when the next occurs. I usually deny myself one or the other, for one reason or another. Not again. I have no plans on "settling". I know what I want. I will settle for no less.

[TheMerryFairy]

Friends, get togethers, coffee/brunch "dates" like I used to have, sharing, laughing and a few little words whispering around in my head that echo through me.

There is a list.....

Homework
Plans
Tests
I know I said I wanted to mop downstairs. Flood, no.
And a random other things

[jcisbutch]

on my mind is a convo i just had that im not sure i understand....

[sierragirrl]

the "F" word is on my mind right now.
i am so "frustrated" with the skunks under my house
it's really making me want to go out side and start hollering the other "f" word
the landlord not doing really anything about it to take care of it "forever"
rocks to block the hole does not stop them.
you see during the weekend the trap gets closed and moved out of the way so the skunks can move back in and we start all over again on monday.
its sad that all these skunks keep getting put down its not their fault.
FUKIN LANDLORD!
no i dont feel better i just want to go over there with my child in tow to sleep at there house where it doesn't smell....
i better bleed soon or its gonna get REAL UGLY UP IN HERE!

try using moth balls under the house, just don't use too many though, or it will smell like an old lady's home inside your house. Skunks don't like the smell of moth balls. Put a hot wire at the bottom of your home, just high enough to shock them, they won't come back either. It doesn't hurt them enough to do anything but deter them from diggin under your home. just my 2 cents worth....and experience with them.

[Kenna]

is there really such a thing as peace of mind?

[TheMerryFairy]

I really want to watch Sweeney Todd & Edward Scissor hands tonight. Other Tim Burton films are acceptable. I am also thinking about the unexpected change of events that happened today, the smell of this tea, shopping and laying curled up feeling at ease.

My projects are still on my mind, food, friends, etc.

[jcisbutch]

my head shave fundraiser is on my mind....just want all to go well and make alot of money to help...

[dixie]

Have you ever had a day when you just wanted to get away? Not just a mini-break or vacation...away from all that you are? I have those from time to time. Today is one of them. I'd like to step out of myself, out of my life. Just be someone else, or even better, no one...just for a little while. Almost a sort of mental holiday, I would say. Just...a break. No worries, no fears, no longings, no desires. Nothing negative, just neutral. Just for a short time......

I don't have these days much anymore. Once in a long while, in a blue moon. Yet today I'm having one.

Maybe it's just me.

[VintageFemme]

Some really precious moments in time.
A few memories that sparkle & shine like little diamonds of yesterdays.
Dreams that came true even if for just those few moments.

[Gráinne]

Got a call from the hospital, saying my son is back in there with pneumonia. About to go over to the ER :(.

[Lazy Daze]

How much I am missing Him. How I have been gone only 24 hours and I am so home sick it brings tears to my eyes. Thank goodness its only 2 more days and then I will be back Home with Him. Yes, He is now my HOME, Indiana will only be a place where my friends and family live...with Him and our furkids is where my heart is, where I am happy, where my life is lived, where I am loved and love, He is my Home. I love you baby

[Bard]

Told my goose last night that I did not get the permotion and that I am no longer a corporal she cried in my arms it about broke my heart. She knows what it meas and with the changed to my days off and her school I will not be able to see her as much. And I will be having to work overtime to make up for the large pay cut. Today she and I are going to see our horse Skyler to say goodby Sky is going to a new home where I know she will be loved and spoiled it makes it a little less had to take but ...

trying to put "pieces" of this house back together ~ not knowing where to start ~ a child's ?'s I cannot answer ~ breaks my heart ~ his little heart so confused ~ he looks up in my eyes and offers his help ~ and begs me to pick up the phone ~ I take the blame for his missing pieces ~~ I remind him of this weeks sign up for little league :) ~~ a diversion to heal ~

On my mind...

thinking about the frozen-in-time aspect of online communities. Love is documented in all its phases, from discovery to disentangling. Arguments can be revisited, jokes relived.

This is so true...how it grows and changes right before our eyes. On my mind...

Im missing a certain little man. I wish he could go with me today and ride horses. I miss you little man !

What to make for lunch!!! I'm thinking red velvet pancakes...

[KCBUTCH]

the journey and being ok with knowing I am on it although not clear on where it'll take me

how much I love my itunes collection

if you can get dehydrated from crying

how one moment my heart can ache and the next I can be clear and joyful and feel blessed even for the pain

[TheMerryFairy]

A new job offer, daydreams, sorting/packing, a talk I know I NEED to have, conversations I want to have, going dancing, doing things for ME and quietly keeping my attentive eyes focused while I let my energy out to play in a constructive way. I am also thinking it will give me great pleasure to enjoy a home cooked meal all to myself.

[SoulShineFemme]

I'm at a place in my life right now that I never would have foreseen even a year ago. It's so incredibly exciting and new and different. It's not exactly what I hoped or planned but that's ok. I'm not afraid. That's a really, really good thing. I have this deep sense of calm and knowing everything will be alright. :)

[dixie]

I didn't get to go to bingo but I did get to go out to dinner. Sitting in a Greek restaurant, waiting on my food and looking around, I noticed the folks sitting across from me. There were two sets of adults (one set on each side of the table) and two teen girls (sitting side by side). What caught my attention was the two teen girls, roughly around age 14-15. One was dainty, long blonde hair, and dressed in a red floral dress. Beside her, the other girl was taller, dressed in a sweater, dress pants, and dress shoes, with hair buzzed fairly short.

I didn't think much of it at first. Then I noticed that each time the parents were involved in conversation amongst themselves, the taller one would turn to the blonde, wink, and they would both share that "knowing" smile. I'll admit, I'm a nosey person lol Throughout my meal I would occasionally glance over at their table. Most times, the two girls would be holding hands under the table. Then, towards the end of the meal, the taller one became more bold and placed her arm around the shoulder of the blonde. The blonde froze for a moment and looked almost fearful, glancing at the parents. Then, both sets of parents smiled to the girls and (not knowing what was said) the whole table was laughing and cheery. The girls both seeming perfectly at ease then.

This surprises me so much. In my area, where those in our community are so frowned upon/bullied/hated upon, these two sets of parents gathered in a public restaurant so that their teen daughters could have a date night. You could see the support from both sets of parents. You have no idea how very much this warmed my heart. THAT is my idea of a Hallmark moment. <3

on my mind:
I found out last night that my step dad has stage 2 bladder cancer and has to get his bladder removed. They are going to rebuild him another type of bladder out of his bowels but he will have to use the rest room every three or four hrs due to not having the sensation.
My mom found out she has the HPV virus and had to get pieces of her cervix cut and removed.
I wish I could be there for them, I might have to make an emergency trip to Cali in a couple of weeks.
Sighs.

thinking I have strong arms to hold gently those in need of comfort and safety

thinking I have ears to listen for those who need to be heard

Thinking I have understanding and joy and genuine concern

My heart goes out to all my brothers and sisters, friends, crushes, non crushes, all the daddys and girls, every he, she and me's, all the flirters and those who dont care, those taken and those broken.

May your head rest soundly on your pillow tonight, may your dreams be vast and clear, and most of all may you all know that someone is thinking of you and wishing you only the best that the universe can imagine for you

why does the weather app on my phone keep telling me I'm in Cleveland? ... Did I make a trip I don't know about?

[TheMerryFairy]

I am still flying high from my burst of energy earlier. I am so happy today was a wonderful day. I got to go shopping and socialize at a flea market, I cooked a wonderful meal for myself, spent some time with friends and got all of my paperwork done!

Tomorrow is going to be another amazing day. I can feel it. It is on my mind. I'm a little nervous but it's nothing compared to the excitement and freedom my confidence is beaming.

[DamonK]

Random ideas.

[PaPa]

A wonderful horoscope, a great meditation, some pleasant conversation, memorable family time while sharing a meal, homework almost done AND with enjoyable class conversation on the discussion board to boot! I got cuddle time with my pup, a gift from my sister, and have thoughts of a car inspection and oil change tomorrow on a day when the roads are to be bad and I do not have to leave the house (they pick it up) AND I have the day off tomorrow so I get to stay nice and warm inside while the weather is blustery outside. Have I said the most important thing of all yet?!?

I. Am. Blessed.

[KCBUTCH]

The quietness, my mind feels unburdened, my heart feels light
my dog is happily snoring his little heat out
My tummy is full of yummy soup
I am truly blessed. not for anyone thing
But for what I call my life-what an amazing gift
I am thankful for all that has been taken and all that is left behind...
:)
also some friends, crushes, peeps, buddies, etc...

[bright_arrow]

Grateful for friends helping trace ancestry!

[spritzerJ]

That hy is safe on hys travels back. What it means to build our family and the changes to come. That our time together is a blessing even though we are more than ready for it to be everyday.

And about hit the floor laughing...

Funny stuff there!

It may be my new favorite.

I am so tired. I could say I don't sleep good, but at this point I pretty much don't sleep at all. I toss and turn and flop around so bad that pretty much everything on the bed ends up on the floor, including the bottom sheet. Restless shit. I'm TIRED of being TIRED.

[Gemme]

Compatibility and desire....and how exactly those will play into my next romantic venture....if and when the next occurs. I usually deny myself one or the other, for one reason or another. Not again. I have no plans on "settling". I know what I want. I will settle for no less.

is there really such a thing as peace of mind?

Have you ever had a day when you just wanted to get away? Not just a mini-break or vacation...away from all that you are? I have those from time to time. Today is one of them. I'd like to step out of myself, out of my life. Just be someone else, or even better, no one...just for a little while. Almost a sort of mental holiday, I would say. Just...a break. No worries, no fears, no longings, no desires. Nothing negative, just neutral. Just for a short time......

I don't have these days much anymore. Once in a long while, in a blue moon. Yet today I'm having one.

Maybe it's just me.



Om my mind..

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Plans slowly coming together. A little more one day at a time. Cautious excitement building as a result. And dreams.

All of these above quotes have something that strikes a chord for me with recent experiences I've had and/or am going through right now.

I feel that I am on a new road. One free and clear of mental and emotional debris and one that lacks roadblocks and hazards. I believe that the past couple of months especially, though difficult, have shown me what I need to see to move past shadows and darkness and into the proverbial light.

I see truths that were not evident to me previously and, though it's not ideal, I can work with what has been given to me. I'm stronger than I gave myself credit for and I can move beyond these temporary setbacks to gain greater insight into myself as well as those around me.

This too shall pass. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Insert your cliche of preference here.

I'm 'that' sort. The sort to wait for Unique's same shoe. But maybe it doesn't have to fall. Maybe it's fine where it is, wherever that may be. Maybe I don't even need that damn shoe. Maybe barefoot is the way to go.

The past few days have allowed me the chance to step outside of myself. Outside of limitations placed on me, both by others and myself. I dropped into a world of possibilities and I'm hopeful.

Like dixie, I won't settle. Not this time. Big girl panties are fully engaged and ready for pulling, should the need arise. But I don't think so. I think we'll be fine. This feels fine. This feels good.

I don't want to follow old patterns and behaviors and don't feel as if I am. At least not internally. So, what's different? What makes THIS situation different than previous ones? Me? Them? Both?

I can breathe. Fear is minimized. Obstacles dealt with openly and honestly. Maybes and what ifs have made their way into the recesses of my crotchety old brain. Could bes and why nots have followed.

For the first time in a while, I feel free. Freedom is the greatest gift one can give to another and I feel very rich right now.

Today is my Momma's Birthday. She would have been 91. She has been gone from this world for almost 20 years come this March. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I have never gotten over it.

Another step taken.

[jac]

The many deep and loving conversations my Spritz and I had this past weekend about our future life together.

Knowing that some things have to be properly timed. I really want to start the Braille course but appreciating that this will have to wait till fall. Preparing for and settling into our family life ii of top priority.

Talking to current and past landlords for further options.

How desperately I want to sleep. Maybe a cat nap is in order.

[TheMerryFairy]

What is on my mind ? Sleep, this new job, little projects I have been working on, special little gifts and the energy that I feel from floating.

[MissItalianDiva]

Everything...very long day and now I can't sleep when I really should be. Time to count some sheep I suppose

[WingsOnFire]

wondering if this cold is trying to kill me. Thankfully I am on prednisone and antibiotics. Too bad I can't take my cough medicine with codiene at work. Well I could but then I would fall asleep. Not good. Lol.

Conversations that were necessary, painful, heartfelt, truthful. Did I mention painful? Honesty is always the best policy. Always. Even when painful.

Other thoughts running through my head.

The 2800 claims I should have done by Thursday but won't.

Hoping they really are getting me help to work those claims.

Friendships I have let go silent out of fear of rejection.

Coworkers who have been so kind to me lately, one of which has become a good friend.

How much I missed my pups and was so glad to see them.

[dixie]

I have such a weird issue. I think I've finally started "tasting" foods. I smoked a hella lot for about 15 years (close to 2 packs a day OR more). Also, I drank NOTHING but Pepsi. So...for the last few weeks I have had no cigs, no soda of any kind, have been eating healthy foods, and am on vitamins and meds (for Type 2 diabetes and was also on Chantix and blood pressure meds but off of those 2 now).

Here is the issue.....I've always loved spicy and bold foods. Now, even bland foods are seeming to be "too much". I freakin love tacos and spicy chili. I literally can not eat either. Not only are these spicy/bold foods bothering my taste buds, but most all foods that I eat do not taste "right" to me.

I can't figure out what the heck is causing it! Is it the lack of smoking and acidic soda? Is it the meds? Or did my taste buds just choose an odd time to do a complete change??

What's up with that???? LOL

[jac]

Crap that just churns my butter...

And the shit of it all is that it's not even me and the issues I use to have with the whole thing anymore but now it's more a matter of concern and sympathy for someone who has been casted a part but not yet ready to make a debute in this play we call "life."

Yeh, I'm sure the person exists, just not added into the grand scheme of things at this time. So, I contemplate the idea of, can one really feel sorry for another they have not even met and possibly never will meet but wonders what lies ahead for them?

Yeh I'm tired and needing my sleep before my midnight shift... Here's where I would be referred to as "cryptic." :sigh: Peace to you unknown soul... You have my best wishes waiting for you when you enter stage left. :praying:

You taste buds will adjust

[starryeyes]

Co-interpreters taking advantage of my professionalism. They know I am always early, so they take the opportunity to be 10-15 late, walk in and disrupt the professor who is in the process of lecturing. This happens often, and it really fucking pisses me off. What is so hard about showing up in time! The worst part is the interpreter offender is a femme friend, so she knows I won't call her out to the agency who hires us. I am going to have to bring it up to her, because it is really bugging me. I made a commitment to honor my "inner goddess" and start pleasing myself, instead of pleasing other people. This is one of those times I need to speak out.

You've got multiple whammies, possibly.

Smoking and deadening the taste buds with high sugar drinks (I'm a Coke fiend myself) definitely caused foods to taste different and now that that is gone, you will certainly have an adjustment period.

Also, you are in your early 30s. Between 30-40, folks usually find their taste buds changing.

Then you've got some meds that may or may not be affecting flavors as well. Chances are, your system is hyper sensitive right now. I'd stick with the milder stuff until your taste buds adjust a bit and then work your way up. You just may not be into as spicy stuff as you were before. It could be fun, if you think about it. Kind of like a foodie adventure.

I tried Chantix years ago, and it sometimes made food flavors, smells and sounds "too much", like dixie said...Even after I stopped taking it, it took quite some time for those side effects to abate.

Another gay teen suicide. This 15 year old boy hung himself in a school yard. The article says he was taken off life support, but other news outlets are reports he passed away several hours ago.

This is really still happening!? How much longer does this have to happen?? In my own work, I witness kids calling eachother faggot and gay, and nothing is done, other than a glare or a talking to from me, the subsitute interpreter who doesn't know them and will probably never see them again.

It is disgusting that this is everyday verbage that is part of everyday dialog. Where are the teachers? Noon duties? Administration? I don't even know what to say other than let's not forget Jadin and figure out a way to stop this.

[DamonK]

1. School.
2. A friend that's like a mom to me.
