The West Memphis 3 might be released today.

I'm not a praying person but I wish with everything I have that Jason, Jessie, and Damien will receive their freedom.

Please Universe, if there is a God, a Buddha, a Baby New Year, a Flying Spaghetti Monster, or one sane judge in podunk Arkansas, PLEASE let the sword of justice work it's swift magic today.

So many things are on my head that my head feels like it's going to explode!

~ Sparx's job is awesome, she's happy, we have our life back - I'm so grateful for this that I just can't stop grinning about it. We came home at the same time last night and made dinner together... ran errands... it was wonderful.

~ Someone beloved is moving away - but (other than the goodbye hug which was definitely one of the best hugs EVER), I'm not sad like I thought I would be because I'm just so damn happy for him. I have this great feeling way down to my toes about it all and it feels like exactly the right thing at exactly the right time which is more than just reassuring, it's peaceful.. it's good. And, now I have an excuse to plan stuff.. always something I'm a big fan of! Mostly I'm just super happy to discover that I'm not at all depressed about it. I thought for sure I'd spend at least a few days sulking - but.. nope. :) Now THAT is a good sign!

~ I won a promo at work which has gotten me a $100 gift card to the place of my choosing... so I asked for Lululemon so I can get my "rolls royce of yoga mats", the Manduka Pro mat. I'm super excited. Hopefully getting the gift card today so I can meet Sparx after work at the mall to pick it up (and made sure our budget will allow me to get a mat-bag and/or carry strap since the Manduka is heavy/bulky and I hope to use it A LOT).

~ I recently scored TWO other yoga mats, one el cheapo at Walmart in the US for only $9 and one gifted by my Unka so now I have a total of three spare yoga mats and one "exercise mat" which can do in a pinch that I can bring with me when I start teaching for drop-in students or to lend people for 'extra cushion' if they need.

~ I'm taking Sparx to go see an Air Supply concert next Friday. I am more excited about this than I could possibly express. Air Supply is <3

One word: Iceland.

Frozen fruit bars DO NOT make good ice packs for elbows.... just sayin

hungry
 

Tomorrow is a dinner party at a friend's home. The theme is 7 deadly sins. I'm taking a fluffy fruit salad to represent sloth. It's pink. It's easy. And most of the ingredients were in my pantry already. But mainly, it's my Ex-spouse's mother's recipe -- one she served at family holidays and Sunday dinners because she knew it was my favorite. My Ex will be at the dinner party. The fluffy fruit salad is a statement. ... One that will go unnoticed. Just as I went unnoticed for years in that relationship. ... *arrrgghhh!* ... ... OK, I guess I'm still mad about a few things ... F#ck. ... Now, where did I put that Thich Nhat Hanh book ...

weekend plans with family, phone and text conversations with her, the fact she makes me laugh like no other.

Feeling like I'm either missing something, or going crazy.

I'm wondering if the fact that my grocery store stopped carrying my favorite ice cubes is worthy of writing them a letter.

One would think that ice tastes the same no matter what size and shape it is.

Today would have been my mom's birthday.. as I miss her dearly. She was my best friend. She accepted me for who I am and loved me unconditionally as well as my girlfriend. I was so blessed to have her in my life. She taught me so much. She will always be in my thoughts and heart.

My daughter, my other best friend, is also on my mind. I hope she is well and safe and happy. I hope she knows I miss her terribly and love her so much. I hope to see her within the next few months.

People near and dear to me and hoping they know how much they mean to me and that I'm blessed to have them in my life.

Friends and BFP members who are going through some concerns and troubles, keep breathing. Step back, relax, and breathe. It does get better.

Went to dinner with my ex tonight. After dinner she was kind enough to help me with my friggin elbow. She did 6 trigger point injections in it for me. They hurt like hell.....but wow, my elbow feels so much better. Should be able to hit the gym tomorrow!

I moved to AR in March to be back closer to my kids. Now my son is moving to CO on Monday. He's moving for work opportunity, but I am sad to see him go. Just feeling kinda down tonite.

(((((((((Pisces)))))))))) I can only imagine how hard it is for you to see him go, if you need a friend I'm here :rrose:

Thank you, Matthew, that really means a lot to me. {{{{Matthew}}}}}
