Orrrr...

Maybe she's a freak.

I'm thinking it's #2.

It now reads: Mon - red, Tues - blue, Wed - blue, Thurs - green.

Go figure...

That is weird. Wonder why she would do that? Unless she likes the way you dress and the color of your tops. Is she a wacky person in general?

Can't sleep tonight. Going to the pain doc tomorrow with my daughter driving me. We have some serious things to discuss and I am nervous. Her son recently posted on FB that he is suicidal; he came out to me in Feb. Lots of mommy love and support for her tomorrow. Luckily he is now in counseling and on anti-depressants. He is 16.

No, she's not wacky at all which is why I am puzzled. It certainly cannot be a dress code issue. We have no formal dress code - it's a law office so business attire is the norm. I don't wear provocative clothing at work. In fact this past Monday the cashier at my favourite Chinese restaurant paid me a compliment on my clothes telling me I "always look beautiful."

I'd expect something like this from my previous employer, aka "She Who Knows No Boundaries."

I wish my Mom was alive so I could talk to her about this. My Dad is useless for this stuff and I just don't want to discuss it with my stepmother.

(((((katsarecool))))) Hope your pain has eased this morning and that you got some sleep. Sending you healing and peace - for your daughter and her son as well.

She's definitely not a freak - that would be my previous employer. My birthday was a month ago and she gave me a generous gift certificate to my favourite shop in Concord. Have no clue what this is all about. I have a limited business wardrobe largely because of habit. Back about 130 lbs ago there was very little I could find in my size. Guess I need to do a little shopping and add a few more pieces...times like this a girl really needs her Mom.

Miss Scarlett · 10-30-2010, 07:57 AM

Thinking about yesterday...

It was the annual "Candy Crawl" in downtown Concord. (From 3-5 the merchants hand out candy to trick or treaters.) It was a blast! We dressed the dog as a clown - with hat and ruffled collar...he looked soooooo adorable and, once again, was the most photographed dog of the day. I was sportin' my purple Carol Channing wig, rhinestone cat glasses and tiger print top. (Why am I always dressed like this when introduced to Judges?) Since my boss was wearing an "I Voted" sticker we declared her costume to be "Early Voter"...seriously scary!

This year we handed out 10 huge bags of candy - you know the ginormous ones they sell at Sam's. The kids in their costumes were fabulous. There were some incredible homemade costumes and entire families in costume too. There were also pets in costume...mostly dogs. My personal favourite was Ollie the Ferret who was dressed in a little red devil cape.

We're one of the popular stops along the crawl for 3 reasons: awesome candy, the dog and my boss - she adores kids of all ages as well as the event and it shows.

I hurt from head to toe this morning. Standing for 2 hours makes my back howl but it was so worth it.

Soft*Silver · 10-30-2010, 05:37 PM

today during our walk, my old girl fell. Her back legs gave out on her. She sat there, suprised, confused...then anxiety hit. I knelt down beside her. Smiled into those cloudy eyes that search for me every time her head raises up. I calmly told her it was alright, she just needed a rest. My hands never stopped soothing her. She was then satisfied, always reassured by my voice, my touch. When we tried again, she was able to lift. And up she came, pensive at first. I am glad she cannot clearly see my face. I have done this before. We are so close to the end. My last girl like her made it to Thanksgiving. I hold out with her, not wanting to let her go until she is ready. I actually have been waiting for this...for her frail body to catch up to her frail mind. When she signals me that Now she is ready, we will go together and say good bye. But for this day, she indicated she wanted a bit more walk, slower. So we slowed it way down. I will never forget this fall day, the rustling of the leaves across the road. The grey of the clouds and the spattering of halloween on yards as I and my black and white took one of the few walks we have left.

Tomorrow she will hand out candy with me. She loves loves loves children and I am so grateful she has this holiday left for her. When she is snoring in our house, next to me, she will remember how they smelled, their laughter, how their tiny hands touched her.

no better life could we have had, than the one we shared together...

Just_G · 10-30-2010, 06:49 PM

It has been one of those days...didn't start out great, but someone sent me a HUGE smile in the mail and it made the rest of the day go better.

I am reading a great book, and I am sure hoping that by the time I get done with it, I can somehow make some good changes and start doing what is best for me....not anyone else. I am sitting at home tonight because I made plans with someone that I knew would end up standing me up. Why do I do such things? I could have been at a halloween party with some really fun people but chose to wait...yet again....to spend time with someone that only makes me their option.

I will learn one of these days. I will.

Life is too short and beautiful to focus on the petty, the hatred, the quarrelsome and irksome.
I am, I love and I will embrace that joy, compassion and wisdom which is.

May I suggest just "accidently" dropping it in the toilet? Is easier to explain and usually absolves you from replacement costs.

wondering if management will get the humor in my collecting my paycheck next thursday and giving them a pink page with my resignation typed on it. i like the idea of letting them go as my employer. heh

That relationships may happen over night, but good ones take a hella lot of work, time and effort...

To get the rewards of a strong, fufilling and meaningful relationship, it takes blood sweat and tears.

Relationships are like coffee...

You can have instant... It's Hot Easy and Fast.... It's also weak, nasty and just doesn't satisfy..

or

You can have a Breve made with fresh roasted/fresh ground beans..

A lot of work, but oh so satisfying...

Arwen · 10-31-2010, 09:19 AM

Language. Some people get it and others don't. It's a precision instrument to me. I prefer to act as if language is a luxury and a privilege. My only annoyance when people play fast and loose with words is when they do not honor the roots of language.

Without those who taught us how to do it right, we would never have found the freedom to do it wrong.

Think of what e.e. cummings might have done with words if he didn't have the freedom of knowing where the boundaries were so that he could cross them.
