Take the quiz: "WHAT RELIGION BESTS SUITS YOU?"
New Aged/Wiccan
An it harm none, do as ye will. You are a bit of a fluff bunny. You wouldn't harm a fly without a reason. Actually, you might demonstrate to SAVE the flies from government abuse! Than again, you're probably busy working in your garden, using a psychic talent, being a Vegetarian or trying to save the Rainforests. Either way, you're sincere.
I love being able to adlib once in awhile.. (*wink wink*) |

Lousy night.
The wind is absolutely howling and this always makes me restless and grmpy. What a rough night... slept only a couple of hours so far, with a muscle spasm playing tug of war with my neck and shoulder, I couldn't even toss and turn as usual.
I give up. Now my stomach is giving me fits and to top it off I ate two cupcakes that I shouldn't have after dinner. Egads.. I'm making myself nuts this night/morning!
Okay, okay.. calm down. Just going to wander downstairs and fix a cup of coco. Ahhhh... that'll chase the heartburn the other direction I'm sure. Not.
Antacids, a pain reliever and a little something to help me get to sleep. I hate taking anything at this hour cause I always feel a little whipped the next day. But if I don't get at least a few more hours sleep I'll be toast in the morning.
I know what part of the problem is. Working these 6 days a week have been kicking my ever-growing arse. This old grey mare just ain't what she used to be.
Ah, here comes the stormy blue daylight. How do the trees keep from breaking under this awful wind?
I see a neighbor has left his/her light on all night too. Well, at least I'm not alone on this insomniac driven night.
Damn, now I can't find the remote control. Figures. How can hubby sleep so soundly with all this wind??!
This is a perfect time to just pull a pillow over my head and lose myself to a vacation fantasy.
Oh, there's the remote. In the middle of the floor. Great, this'll be pretty. Arrrgh!
Enough. I'm whined enough, thanks for listening, it really helps.
So do ear plugs.. |

| Michael Jackson. A few thoughts |

I just heard on the news that testimony from previous allegations of 'bad acts' by Mr. Jackson are going to be allowed by the judge in his case.
Now THAT is big news and it does not bode well for Mr. Jackson's defense.
Why? Because prosecution in this case will be able to show the jury a history of behavior by Mr. Jackson that will corroborate this testimony. Even though I'm sure defense will bring up how those previous boys won't be testifying and allude that the reason is because it never happened, and Mr. J just paid millions because he didn't want the bad press or a trial. Whatever.. but trust me on this, the previous alleged victims that he paid off don't have to testify in this case to prove the prosecution's point.
The point is? The point is pedophiles, like other criminals, find an M.O. or modus operandi, a mode of operation that works for them. This M.O. will often be repeated on each victim, with improvements and some adjustments along the way, but basically will be the same. So, by example, if getting kids to drink 'Jesus Juice' 10 years ago worked then, and he's still using that same hook now, then common sense will argue to the jury that this is an M.O. that Mr. J uses to groom victims.
Groom? Yeah, when pedophiles 'groom' victims, they are trying to slowly get the kid adjusted to various levels of abuse so that the abuse can be taken further and further. Say starting off with dirty jokes, to dirty cartoons, to dirty photos, to dirty movies... you get it.
Now that these prior bad acts are going to be allowed, expect the news coverage to explode. They love all the gory details because it sells air time. Ah well. I admit that while there is little to surprise me that would come out of the court itself, I am interested in how the public is going to react to this and what defense is going to try and do to keep Mr. J out of prison.
Child molesters are predators. They actively seek out victims and exploit the innocence of a child that can cause life long suffering. Check out the stats for yourself, but children who are victimized tend to have more problems related to substance abuse and self esteem issues than those raised in non-abusive environments.
I have a neighbor who proudly describes himself as a 'Wacko Jacko Fan' and I'm going to avoid as much discussion with him about this case as possible. I know he'll be crushed as a sincere fan of Mr. Jackson if there is a guilty verdict.
We shall see, we shall see. |

Hubby is having a birthday today.
Now he's as old as I am. A fact that he loves to remind me of. Until August, then as he likes to tell me, I shall again be the elder. Men.
Hubby called me out last night to enjoy the fullness of the moon. He longed for the brightness of the stars as we used to see them years ago before moving into the city. He gets ansy this time of year. Eager for spring to unfold and the days to get longer. Hubby misses the sun.
We'll have a small family bar-b-cue later on today. Cake and smiles will abound. We both ache for some private time.
Tomorrow he's blasting out of town, heading back to his childhood stomping grounds to visit his elder brother and relax. No place for ladies.. I will gladly remain home.
I miss my dad.
Having a bout of depression. Bugger stuff, I tell ya. *shakes head* It'll pass. |

Rick's 45th birthday is Saturday. We're having a small family bar-b-cue so he can break in his new grill.
Why is it I work so hard when he does the bar-b-cueing? *scratches head* Ah well, with 4 daughters, I suppose I can leave most of the kitchen to them with confidence. Me and the dog will be in charge of the camera.
Becca found out some of the side effects of steroids. Doc put her on them to help with her allergies and they caused her to gain weight and get moody.
Speaking of steroids... catch the pro baseball players on the news for the hearing about steroid usage. Some of those guys looked pretty uncomfortable sitting up there. Talk about a hot seat! Whoa..
Steroids change peoples personality.. I've seen it happen to people I care about. They are really bad news.
Is it Friday yet? I want 2 days OFF in a row! I'm fighting a sore throat and know if I can just get some down-time all will right it'self soon.
Gotta go.. my beads are calling me! |

I had a bright idea to make another wrap skirt with the wrong material. Dang it.
Now that I'm done with it, I don't think I like it at all and hope I'll like the
pillows I make out of the skirt a lot better.
Alone, the material is very nice.. but it's just too heavy for the skirt. What was I thinking?
*sighs* Maybe if I wash it a hundred times...?
I'm trying another style of candle charms.. elastic instead of wire. I think I might like it once I stop snapping my fingers with the darn stuff. Maybe I'm just tired, but if I drop anymore beads tonight I'm gonna kick something.
Enjoyed the Equinox in the sun for a little while. On my knees up to my elbows in my flower-bed pulling weeds and cleaning things up a bit. I lit joss sticks and set them outside while I worked and gave thanks that I was able to enjoy the day.
An older couple stopped by and we chatted a little about my garden. I don't hear well sometimes and I missed much of what the lady said, but I got the idea. They seemed like very nice people.
A new neighbor came over and said hi to hubby who introduced me. Nice enough young man.. very ummm.. chatty. Left, then returned later with a doggie treat for Winston. Gotta like a guy who sucks up to the dog. Nice touch..
My dad has me worried. He's just not as spunky as he usually is. Tires very quickly. I miss him and want to get back to see him. Hopefully soon.
g'nite.. |
