where is Braedon???? |
it's getting to be late here and that I should probably get going!
It's been great hanging out here tonight and winding down after a long day! *good night and sweet dreams to all* :moonstars: |
When I find myself down, the world looks one way. When I find hope again, it looks another way. But it hardly ever looks like I am getting even a tenth done of what I should. I really do admire the industrious.

So... I lost my drivers licence about three hours before we were heading out to San Antonio... I was decluttering my purse and couldn't find it any where.. I remembered having it the day before when I went to the bank, but couldn't find it after I cleaned out my car.. Uh Oh... So I had tossed the trash from my car into the dumpster at Micheles work.. Nods.. I went dumpster diving on the way to the airport... No.. DL... Damn.. where did it go... I made it through security on a wing, a prayer and a 20 yr old ID from missouri... So.. The other day I head out to the DMV to replace my DL... Go in.. fill out paper work.. Wow, twenty people ahead of me... I know.. I will run out to the car and grab a book... I get back into the DMV and flip my book around... Out flies my DL... The books in the back seat were orgn on my passanger seat.. The one that I grabbed had been in my purse, but got tossed into the back seat because the book sucked.. (I didn't remember it until I started reading it again..) So.. I blew out my hair and put on full face make up in 87% humitity for nothing... Grin... I still have until 6-12-10 to get a new one... Yea.... |

My heart...
I was thinking how by loving people we change.. for better and for worst.. When I was young, I was teased about my pollyanna view on the world.. My rose colored glasses were perment... It was because I had never been tested... My heart had never really been broken, I had never experenced any real loss.. I had never really loved deeply.. The first time I loved deeply and lost... I had no idea what to do with the pain.. It happened so fast.. Simply, one day my world ended..I tried everything I knew to lessen the pain.. To be able to breath again..To the point of almost re-addicting to ANYTHING that might make it go away... I survived.. but changed.. that first bit of scar tissue on my heart... The second time I loved deeply and lost... It was a slow process that I could see happening, but couldn't change anything... It broke my heart.. That this shiny bright thing couldn't work... I survived... but changed... more scar tissue... The third time I loved deeply and lost... It was out of my control... One min it was there and then it was gone... My second worst fear come true... I thought I might go insane from the pain of it.. The world shifted again... I survived... but changed.... more scar tissue... Changed... that is the thing... You love someone enough to let them in.. That act in itself changes you... Makes you more than you were... It makes the risk of pain worth it... The learning, the lessons, the growth.. I learned so much about myself.. so many life lessons... so much about who I am.. Despite my worn, torn, patchwork heart... I still love.. I still am capable of giving love and receiving it.. I think.. It's different than when I was young and fresh... There are no stars in my eyes...While I still might swoon over words, over romantic gestures, my love is now rooted in reality.. in fact and deed... I now give my love based on respect and trust and friendship... Not because of a hand written book signed with a bloody thumb print.. Not because of words whispered in my ear... It's funny... I used to say that my partner was home, my safe haven from the world.. Now.. I have created a home within myself.. and in doing so, have become someone else's home.. someone else's safe haven from the world.. I like that I can offer someone what once was offered to me... I'm just going to do a better job of making sure it's true... |
I'm reading and watching a video on a dive to uncover Cleopatera's palace. But the oil spill is hampering divers and causing a nightmare for them.
The dispersants aren't working; they are causing the oil to disperse in small droplets which can enter the skins of fish and birds. I don't think I have ever been so pissed about a major fuck up like the oil spill. It's bad enough to see the oil spill from the air. Wait till you see the environment in the deep sea. http://news.yahoo.com/video/business...video=20027082 |
I think I am coming down with a cold.
I just stopped at my favorite bakery and they made me some delicious fresh squeezed OJ. I also picked up some "Pops" vitamin C. I am on fighting cold mode now. :blink: |

it's weird b/c it doesn't seem like this spill is as much of a topic of conversation for people as the Valdez was, and this one is worse...i don't know if the implications are too staggering to get our heads around or what...they are comparing it to a pemex spill that took 9 months to cap i think...or maybe the media isn't covering it as fully or as shrilly as Valdez? is it just that we feel helpless? the govt and BP seem to be each pointing fingers at the other while avoiding the issue of whether or not anybody in the whole world is actually equipped to handle it |
What will I have when I have it?

Sleep Sleep, more sleep and yet that is impossible.
So off the finish the linens and dinner. |
1. My sister's surgery went great. 1 plate, 4 screws...and she is back in one piece again. Now I just pray that her pain is as minimal as possible when the pain blocker wears off! I am glad she will start to heal from here...it is a relief...HUGE relief.
2. It's official, my first quarter of school is over and I have felt very emotional about that all day. I know people get tired of hearing me talk about it, but when it is something that horrified me for 20 years and I was too scared to take that step all these years, it feels pretty fucking fabulous to complete my first quarter with an all "A" report card! Nobody knows what this means to me today...I did it!! 3. Work sucks ass! Gotta pay a certain amount of money by Friday at 5 or they are kickin' us out...that means pops is scrapin' money together any way he can and I will have no paycheck again this week. I am going to start selling off things I do not use any more...I fucking hate Craigslist!! 4. I cannot WAIT to see these smiling faces in Little Rock in 86 days....I need some fuel in my tank...it is runnin' low! And an abundance of hugs wouldn't hurt one bit!! :winky: |
> > Cleopatra's Palace < < is in Egypt....it is flooded by approx. 20' of water ~ polluted water ~ but not from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It was pretty much leveled by an earthquake in the 400's.
Also, there has been quite a bit of coverage on the [heinous] oil spill tragedy here in Austin. The oil has now reached the marshlands of Louisiana and they will never be the same. Unlike the Valdeeze tragedy, there will be much more of a long~term effect on the wildlife and countless jobs will be lost and may never be recreated again. The last I heard, over 20,000 people are working ~ and failing ~ on trying to keep the oil from destroying the coastline of LA......AND......if the oil travels into the current loop, and it travels east and south, the coral reefs of southern Florida risk being destroyed. So is that a big story? I'd say so. And...in the words of President Obama to a cabinet member, "Get the damn hole plugged!". Yeah....it's on my mind. |
