Here a but a few simple words:

moon lines
apple paths
sea music

These little words have struck something so sweet and pure in my thoughts, they reverberate there...waiting...

I wish to do Neruda justice. The love flows from his written words like tears down a happy bride's smiling face (metaphor, lol).

Watch the movie. Pick up the volume...read. Enjoy.

I did.

Peace

I hope your table was full and your spirit also.

I hope you were warm and sheltered.

I hope your worries were put away for the day.

I hope you remembered those who are no longer with you.

I hope your thoughts were on those who have none of these things.

I wish you peace, joy, health and happiness for the holidays.


Goddess bless.

Just plain worried...missed a full day of work (didn't plan that) and that affects everything else (having no insurance, doesn't help).

Other than sick & worried...just plain.

All my worries are piling up, along with the bills and the laundry, but, all I can think of is the clouds...

Each new day brings a beauty with it, that I'm completely unable to sit and enjoy.

Hassles, struggles, worries and sameness engulf me.

Nothing new there!

I'm finding less and less time for me.

I need to finish research papers, study guides and general class stuff.

I need break.

Not a vacation, but a break.

One day with no obligations, or duties, or chores.

Maybe after the holidays?

Maybe...

HITT - Health Information Technology (billing, coding & transcription) and Management, which are both two year programs at my local community college.

This is my sixth semester in my second year and funny...I'm not even into the programs yet. I'm taking all the prerequisites required by the college and the programs.

See, I never went to college right out of high school. I went to work.
Then I met this guy...and we were married 1 1/2 years later (I was 20).

With marriage and work, then children, I just never got around to it.

He (the Ex) always promised though..."next year, babe, next year".

He said that alot about a lot of things, come to think of it.

Anyway...college is a challenge. The homework boggles the mind.
And the physical-ness of it really runs you down.
There are somedays I'm too tired to stand and other days that I can barely remember my name.

Between my children (who are both in High School now) have been great...and the full-time job that I need to exist...sometimes things get lost.

Take my sanity.

Gone.

But, I've found that most college students are quite insane.

Walk any college campus and you'll see what I mean.

Oh...and if you see me...don't worry.

I always talk to myself.






Take care my peeps!

Peace

Autumn is here and I can't tell which way is up...

I'm sorry for not getting onsite sooner, but, college, kids, work and home has taken up every waking moment.

Also, not having internet sucks.

Gotta head to class (in library)...

Take care and I'll check in soon!!

Peace

...happened a long time ago...

...from far too many really loud concerts
...pneumonia at 18
...a perforated eardrum at 20

So I tilt my head a little to the left to hear you...

I only talk on the phone with it plastered to my left ear...

...but, tonight...

I have my son's headphones on and I can hear out my right!!

I have balance, tone, pitch, melody, rhythm!!

Ecstasy!!

I sit here now...smiling...happy, hyper...hearing...

I was SO wrong.

Dumb, random annoyances have plagued me throughout the day!

I poked myself in the eye with my comb. Ya? How? I don't know but I did it.

My oldest kid missed the bus...drove him to school and as I was pulling into my drive, the youngest was walking...he got a ride too...since I was out, I stopped at Dunkin Donuts and got a vanilla chai (yum).

It cooled as I showered...great, right?

Ok...as I'm putting getting my shoes on I trip, smacked my elbow and then broke the heel clear off my work shoe!

Fantastic!

Now I'm getting in the car to get to work, loading in my daily crap and I set the now ready to drink chai on the roof of the car...you guessed it...I forgot it and pulled away and *splosh* all over the wind shield!

I get to work and we're getting our carpets cleaned today.
The smell of the cleaning agent burns my eyes and closed my throat.

As I'm grabbing my purse, I slip on the still wet-ish carpet and fall flat on my ass!

Twisted my knee, squished my ankle and I think even dented the concrete floor!!

It rained during lunch...it washed the chai off my car but I forgot to roll up my window.

My assistant made three MAJOR fuck-ups that I can't fix until tomorrow...along with several little ones and one 'OH MY GODS WHAT DID YOU DO' one!

I bit the inside of my cheek during dinner.






I'm sitting so quietly in the corner...I'm afraid to move or breathe.
I want this negative karma day to be over...


I wanna cry.






I'll go to bed after meditating and clearing my chi.






Things WILL be better tomorrow.





If not...

















Break out the booze! It's Vodka time!

I firmly believe that the Earth is our Mother and that we should respect and honor her.

I also believe in all the "Gods", great and small.

AND I also believe in the One True God.

Now I will get questions like:

"How can you believe in all those other deities and the Christian God?"
"Do you believe in Buddha, Allah and Krishna, too?"
"Do you worship Satan?" (Ha! I always have to laugh at that question.)

The answers are: easily, yes and no.

They are all the same to me. The only difference I have seen in any deity is the way the rituals and observances are practiced (and possibly the zeal of certain individuals).

As to Paganism...it's just an Earth religion. Simple. No sacrifices. No nastiness. NO Satan.


Please feel free to leave your opinion, ask questions, but, be respectful. I may be slammed and quite possibly harassed because of this. (You will be deleted and reported if you do. I won't stand for it)

I care and don't.

Just know this: I will never tell you that you're stupid, ignorant, worthless, "going to Hell", evil, sinful, vile, a devil, a beast, a fiend, heinous, immoral, wicked or wrong, just because you believe in something other than I do.


That's what makes me different.

Not better. Just different.

I'm going to be the fool I am and turn myself inside out.

I really don't care what anyone thinks and yet...I care deeply what everyone thinks! (Yes, it doesn't make sense)

It's very difficult trying to start over being older...I've lived so long a certain way and becoming enabled is tough.
Too many decisions...the whole pickle of knowing good, bad, right, wrong...not in a moral way, in more a life-altering one...it's affecting and effecting my sleep, my needs, my conscious and unconscious.

Do I keep on this path? Am I on a path??

Is my karma stretched too thin?

My chi needs a recharge and no 'filling station' is in sight...

It's been terrible and hectic and stressed and icky.

But, I'm also thinking that the viewer would have notified me...maybe? So that I could write him/her a special poem, that is if they wanted it.

I guess not.

I know my stuff is shit. Sorry.







Sigh

...and...

What else?? Can you die from stress? Well, um ya...duh.

I've decided that I'm going to start using it...like cafeine, nicotine...stress will be my drug.

I get enough of it. It's been thrown, pushed, shoved and slipped to me so often that it's beginning to pile up in corners of my soul.

Instead of imploading (?) I use it. Burn it up, toss it around, knead, bake it and feed to the man.

I will not break. I won't fake it anymore either.

I'll cry if I want to. I'll drink or smoke, be rowdy.
I'll pout even. I'll sulk whenever.
I'll run around in circles.

Psychotically stressed will be my reason for being.

Stress won't like me anymore because I won't be afraid of it.

...and...

I can begin living my life and enjoying it.





Oh shut up woman...get moving, keep moving...
















Pipes to water heater took a dump and I (along with half the nation) is completely broke. Working it out...or more like making it work.

All cleaned up and repaired. Now I owe owe owe ...



Enjoy the spring!

Sitting at my desk, surfing deviantart...listening to my sons and their friends play Halo 3...I honestly don't think they even remember that I'm here (which is to my advantage).

Surprisingly, they just talk some mild smack. Nothing really nasty.

And their laughter is so honest and pure. I forget that they're all going to be 16-ish soon.

Driving cars, getting jobs...dating (shudder).

I think that I'm lucky that they let me see this part of their world. Most parents don't even know what Halo 3 is. I have intimate knowledge (I keep getting killed, but, I try).


Soon I'll have to feed them.


Gods




My kitchen will never be the same.






I have this piece rolling around in my head...I need to expell it and soon.


Ta ta for now...Peace

Wow...I heading closer and closer to it. So, I was thinking about writing a poem especially for the 10,000, but, I'm not sure how to tell who that lucky person would be?

I'm not even sure that person would want one...come to think of it.


Well, I'll keep checking in and I'll keep trying to see how it could be done.


In the meantime, I've studying to do.




And I'm obviously not doing it.








Ya



Gotta study.





Yep







Study




















Sigh, study.

I sang all the time.
I ate and drank when and what I wanted.
I lived and breathed and cried and laughed.

I had no real big worries.
I didn't care what tomorrow brought...as long as the sun came up.
Rain and snow I enjoyed.
Friends were never more than a shout away.

Where did these aches come from?
How did this gray creep in?
And wrinkles! What about those?!

Blurry vision, creaky bones, poor digestion and a tired soul.

When did I get old?

How much older am I going to get?

Please...I want to sing all the time again.
I want to dance whenever!
Let me have my cake and french fries...I'll have salad tomorrow.
A few drinks...a few puffs.
Nothing extreme.
I know the sun will come up tomorrow.

And friends...ARE YOU THERE??







I may be old but I'm not grown up.
I wish to stay young.

So...I will.

I try to be 'me' only to be shot down.

"I don't want to tell you what to do, or who to see, or where to go..."

...but don't and *WHAM* the door is slammed shut and the letter is being drafted. (a letter, not a phone and not in person)

Three plus years of friendship flushed because I wanted to do something and did it.

You couldn't join, didn't want to...so I can't either. Is that fair? Is that right? Decent? Selfish? Probably all that and more.

"I don't want to fight."

So, you'll just walk away as I sit and wonder what the hell I really did that was so wrong.

And the major thing running through my little brain is "I would be with you all the time if I could."


I'll miss you, if this is what you want, I won't argue.
I'll cry and I won't sleep for weeks...but I won't argue.

My love always, my friendship forever.

Peace

...because that's how my brain is currently processing information.



Everyday things are squished, mashed, and percolate throughout and all my brain can think of is the pain in the back. Right, middle. It radiates. It spawns. It pulses. Deeply oozing violet welling up and out from the kidney.

I concentrate on the pain and it's purple. Don't ask me my name during. I see purple. I feel purple. Everything is purple.

When I come back...I focus on my forehead, my lips, my knees, fingers. Normal color returns. I stagger and know where I am...

...until it's purple again.

It's a waiting game.

I could medicate. Not feel anything. Sleep, sleep, s l e e p. . .

I can't seem to do that.

I guess I'd rather be aware. Have the pain. Cognizant and alive.





Purple again.


I'm going to lie down. Breathe and drink water.

Wait until the wave...and thank the Gods that I feel it.









Peace

1) I wish I could write more (and better) than I do.

2) I cannot stand parking garages and elevators. They make me feel helpless, that's the only word I have to describe it, and I begin to hyperventilate.

3) Sex is my greatest pleasure/vice/obsession followed closely by coffee. I get more coffee.

4) My sons are my single-most greatest accomplishment(s).

5) I miss my father so much and he was such a bastard, but, I really miss him.

6) Sometimes, very late at night, I walk around my house and cry for no reason.

7) I'm easily itimidated by anyone in authority. I lose my identity every time, bowing to their will.

8) I apologise profusely to the point of anger (on my part) then feel sick to my stomach for the rest of the day.

9) I have OCD (managable), ADD (slight) and insomnia (chronic). I also suffer from mild to severe panic attacks on a daily basis.

10) I have acquaintances. Lots of them. Friends? Nah, not really. Maybe 1 or 2. Maybe. 1.

11) I used to be skinny. Now I wear my fat like a suit of armor.

12) French fries don't give me pleasure anymore like they used to when I was younger or even just a few years ago. They used to be my favorite food; now, not so much. They just don't taste the same. Most food is like that for me now. (I wonder why I'm still so fat?)

13) Is my favorite number. Green & purple are my favorite colors. Wow! That's some deep stuff right there.

14) I'm in college and I don't see the point. I don't think it's going to help me in any way. Everyone (in my family) says "Just wait till you graduate...how much money you'll make!" BULLSHIT! I'm too old for it to do any good, and I don't want to quit cause it will be just one more thing I've failed at.

15) Nobody talks to me when I'm out in public but I smile at everyone though.

16) I worry about small things and big things and every things. I can't distinguish between them, so, I worry about it all.

17) I'm looking for approval, validation or recognition. For what, I don't know.

18) I miss having a man in my bed at night. The general comfort of not being alone. Cats just don't cut it. Either does an extra blanket, BUT, just because I miss it, doesn't mean I'm looking for it! (I have someone...he just can't be there...)

19) The 10th Annual Dirty Show was this weekend and I didn't go again this year. I also missed the Witches Ball, too. I plan every year and never seem to make it.

20) Speaking of plans...I make lots of plans; to go, to do, to see...never quite do it though.

21) I'm lonely.

22) I just got my internet service back after several months and I realize I coulda-kinda lived without it because I've been sitting on this computer since 4pm and I've done nothing but that.

23) This might be universal (doubt it); sometimes I feel like I'm the most dumb, most stupid, most ignorant wretch on the face of the planet and I don't know how I've survivied being that way.

24) I'd rather dance than eat or breathe.

25) No one will dance with me.

26) I don't sleep when my kids go with their father for the weekend.
Or on vacation with him. I just don't.

27) Sometimes I have no peripheral vision. I'm blind to the very left and right of me. I'm really scared while driving.

28) I'm not enjoying my life. I'm not having fun...I don't really remember what that is.

Really.


"Wicked Procrastination Smith"

My parents really had a hell of a sense of humor!!



Anyahoo...things are looking up and down and a bit sideways!

I'm taking everything in stride and learning how to breathe better.

In and out.

It works.

Try it.


So, here's the scoop:

Still in college...made the Dean's List for the Fall 2008 semester.
Paying my bills, working hard.
Kids are doing, just like kids do (making me crazy to boot!).

Everything normal.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful spiritual holiday and a grand New Year!

Until next time, Peace.








ps My last name really is Smith.

~*~

I'm having a crisis. Just a small one.
It's happening to many.
Financial issues, you know...money.

I'll deal with it, like I always do.
I'll struggle, worry, cry and finally accept.

Because of said crisis...my visits here will be sporadic.
(whenever I can get to the public library)

In the meantime, have a Happy Christmas.
A Merry New Year!

Peace, deviants.

When I got older and was married, it became even more so...the fighting would begin and would only stop when the relatives pulled into the driveway. I had to deal with both families (who didn't really get along well) for many years. Nothing thankful there.

The past two years, my children were with their father and I was alone (I did spend it with my parents and family) without them. I couldn't see anything to be truly thankful for then.

This year, I'm looking past that.

So my kids are with their father...so what! At least their father is wanting and willing to have them. Many fathers could care less.

So I'm alone on Thursday. Big Deal! I have them all year round. We're close and we love each other.
I'll be with my mother, my step-father, my sisters and their better halfs...I don't have to cook! and I can leave when I'm ready to. That's something to be thankful for! lol

I'm healthy...could be more so...
I have a few friends that I can truly call Friends.
I have a decent place to live and there's food in the pantry and fridge.
I have a vehicle that runs and doesn't guzzle gas, that's good too!
I am working (ick but ok)!
And I'm pursueing my college education.
What more could I ask for?

Sure, I could want to be thinner and richer and go more places and do more things...everyone kinda wants that.

But, right now...this very minutes as I'm typing this...I'm thankful for these little luxuries:

I'm thankful for the love I feel when I see my kids making that mess in the living room right after I spent an hour cleaning it...I'm thankful for the pestering my sisters are giving about coming to dinner...I'm thankful for the friendships I've made and kept over the years...I'm thankful for the bumps, bruises, aches and pains because it means I'm able to get up and fall down...I'm thankful for the bills that I pay, cause I've paid them.

And mostly, I'm thankful for being smart enough to know this and intelligent enough to be able to put it into words.

Enjoy your life. Be at peace.

And happy Thanksgiving.

http://waymorewickedwitch.deviantart.com/journal/21642840/ Mon, 24 Nov 2008 06:43:00 PST

to do exactly that...live my dream(s)!

I'm trying, really I am.

http://waymorewickedwitch.deviantart.com/journal/21565492/ Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:27:12 PST I think that's why I've been feeling so icky and tired. I've unconsciously curled up like I used to...and I think I know why (several reasons why). I'd like to talk to you about it, but, I can't. I'd like to bring it out into the open, instead of letting it fester and ferment. I feel so stupid about it too. I want to talk to my mother about it too. She never has the time. Forget about talking to my sisters. They just wouldn't understand. I think you would. I think.

So...I'm trying to shake it.

I'm trying to put on the "happy face".
I'm wanting to smile for true.

I'm wanting lots of things...it's an amazingly long list and most of it isn't tangible items either. Like safety. Like kindness and tranquility.

Like Peace.


I want these simple things. I also want to be able to pay my bills without fear of shut-off notices. I want health care. I want security. I want a better job. I want less stress.

Shake it off, honey.

Put it in a bubble and blow it away...except it's a lead bubble and all the blowing in the world won't make that sucker move.







Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Say hello to the family for me.


Peace

I handed in my paper (it's crap though).

I'm waiting on the results from the ITCS exam.

So, that's finished for now. (until the next exams & papers!)

You'd think I'd be able to breathe and relax but...

I was bothered at work today. I had to call the police and have the crazed lunatic taken away just so I could leave the building (he was outside, I was in). People are just so scary lately. I know it's bad out there...hell...I'm one or two steps away from a breakdown myself. But, come on! I didn't do anything to even provoke it. That's the scary part. I was closed. I always close at that time. It's time to close. EEK

Anyway, I'm fine, but, freaked out.

I shook all the way home.

I'm over it.



Breathing...

Ya a nice cuppa will do me good.











Just keep breathing...

These papers really bite.

My friend wants to know what the problem is...why do I think I have these blocks when I write all the %$&*@# time!

I just don't like being told when, where, and how I have to write.

This is my freedom, my outlet, my muse!

And this teacher is sucking the creativity right out of me...grammar and sintax rules be damned!

Oh, and I might just be a tad stubborn...and a little bit more of a procrastinator than the norm, but, still it bites.

Well back to the grindstone...pencil to paper and all that.
















somebody save me

http://waymorewickedwitch.deviantart.com/journal/20845486/ Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:12:20 PDT
Oh sure...I can write in my journal...I do that as much as I can, when I can, but, a paper!!

1,000 words...three paragraphs (more or less) with a strong topic sentence. Ok ya right!


My grammar is fine. My sentence structure could use some help but no idea!!

I've a good grasp of vocabulary...if I don't know how to spell it, first thing I grab is the dictionary and the Thesaurus is my friend!

This truly sucks! I can't get around it...
I've tried to brainstorm. I've tried meditating. I've tried standing on my head!

I think I should step away from it. Wait until tomorrow...start fresh.




Ya...that's it. Start fresh.














I should grab a glass of tea...put my feet up, relax.








Maybe one more try....











Peace

So far today:

Went to work.
Did two loads of laundry.
Dusted & vacuumed.
Pulled out over-grown tomato plants and weeded garden.
Made dinner and did the dishes.

Alot accomplished in a short time. *shrug*

I feel like I didn't do anything and I still have a long list.

I think I will sit down...grab a drink of something cool and decide what to do next.

~*~

I've thought about it.

I think I'm going to watch some TV, maybe an old movie, maybe go rent one.

Popcorn is called for.

And cool drink...with a KICK!




No more house stuff today.



Everybody relax...it's Saturday night!

http://waymorewickedwitch.deviantart.com/journal/20548263/ Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:36:26 PDT
And I realized...I'm lucky.

No matter how bleak, how sad, how emotinally crippled I feel, I know that I am not truly alone.
I know I have someone to talk to.
Children to hug me and that love me.
Parents that offer support even if it's from far away.
Sisters, both by blood and in spirit, that will stand beside me if and when I call.

I am lucky.

I'm broke, but, lucky.





All this philosopy so early...no sleep is a great stimulant.


And a pot of coffee, doesn't hurt!





So my Peace I give you. Take it.



I have more.





Peace and good morning.

Yes...I did not sleep last night.

Yes...I have too much going on inside.

Yes...I will sleep tonight.

At first it seemed as if I was going to be...then I corrected the situation and it's not as bad as I first thought.

Good thing, right?

Ya, whatever.








School has started for all of us here, Jr. High, Sr. High and college.

Homework and crabby attitudes abound.





So...I'm still here.


Quiet and serene and studying...








Coffee, please.

Enjoying my sweet, hot coffee and the soft light creeping up over the horizon.

Smells like fresh cut grass and summer rain (stormed last night, all night).



No plans for today...just going with the flow...



~*~



I encourage you to enjoy the heat, the light, the breeze, the smells of the fleeting summer.


~*~




Classes start on Wednesday and a week later for my kids.

Received a promotion and raise at work...(not excited, not really), means more responsibility and more anxiety, but, could use the money, who couldn't??

I'll see how it goes...it surely can't get any worse than being a pawn, a dupe, a nothing, a cog in the corporate wheel forever turning??




Wow...too deep for me without getting another cup of coffee!!


Anyone for a fresh pot?

Michigan State Fair, Renaissance Festival, Rockin On The Riverfront Concert, Armada Fair, Woodward Dream Cruise...so much to do...so little time!!


And this is my last Saturday off until December.


I have classes during the week, Saturday has become a workday!



Kids and school, classes and me...the Fall starts with a bang!



I've got to now think about Autumn garden clean-up and winterizings! ack!






But until then...what to do, where to go!!




And will there be drinkies!?!








I hope so.


I hope so.

I've been here about three years...heading into my fourth.

It's my home away from home, the site I return to (daily).


Just wanted to wish a happiest of days!

Here's to Eighty more!!

It is.

This is the last full day of my vacation...and I'm ready.

It hasn't been very fun or exciting, not even that relaxing.

I actually do wish it to be over.


~*~



I received my print from Perry a few days ago...wow! What a lovely piece...the puter does NOT do it justice!

Thanks again Perry!




~*~



Getting for the everyday to return...college for me, school for the kids, work and the normality that is life.


Deep breathe...and begin...


~*~







Summer is almost over and I've nothing to show for it besides a fading burn.



~*~




Time for a drink...iced tea will really hit the spot.



~*~


Minor random thoughts...and I discovered "stamps"...ye Gods!

I've always heard no rest for Wicked! LOL


Today is the first day of my vacation and I'm having a fantastic time.

I mowed and edged my lawn, did dishes, a load of laundry and won a VIP package to a classic rock concert downtown!! Whoop!


My luck is changing...if only, if only, if only...


I love Detroit! It really is a great city, so much to see and do...even when you're flat broke!

Free concerts! Art shows! Craft fairs! Flea markets! $5 concerts, too!

If you're bored...you're not looking!!

Soon the Renaissance Festival and State Fair will be going on (look for the discounts)!

And don't forget the State Parks...wonderful beaches...


Can you tell I feel good?

I do.

I will.

Until...August 7...



Yeppers, boys & girls...that's when I go back to work!!



Until...have a drinkie...put your feet up and
remember the sunscreen!








And don't worry about the mosquitos...they're not worried about you.






Peace

I fed the beasts...sat back, counted my fingers and marvelled at the show.

Going to pamper myself today...nails, hair...get laundry caught up...well, that's not really a pampering item, but it's needed.

Had my one cup of coffee. I'm trying to cut back.

I don't think it's going to work!


Later I'll be taking the testerone group to the movies...pity me. LOL


Another average morning in an average household on an average Sunday.




Be good.

I'm extremely aggitated that I have to edit my words and actions because of a few assho...oops...intellectually challenged individuals.

No...I will not give examples or name names.

(They might be on this site...then again maybe another.)

Those challenged idiots will not get the satisfaction of seeing their names in print.

I will not point them out for them to get that 15 minutes of "fame".

They are undeserving and shallow and in doing so will only prove their point (on the top of their heads)...to themselves anyway. Ignoring them is so much more satisfying.


Suffice it to say. Shame on them.

Their pointless bigotry.
Their shameless idiocy.
Their moronic "PC-ness".


Time to go home silly children.



Time to let the Grown Ups run things.









Let me know when you find some.

Ya, that's pretty much it...I'm in one of those situations.

Every other weekend they go...and I sit and wait.

It's only been a year, but, I still despise it.

They were gone from July 4 until yesterday...long time...that's probably why I was sad. I'm sure it was the reason. I missed them.




Although...

Now that they're home...my food is gone, my quiet is gone, my sanity is in question...

But I wouldn't trade it for anything!!






Here's to next weekend...lol







I'm going to sit in the sun...read, write, sip some sun tea and relax...








You do it too!













Go on...scoot!


Don't make me tell you twice.

Trying my hardest to be content...I don't try for happy anymore.

And I think that's the whole problem, trying too hard to be...

I want things to be like my daydreams, even my daydreams want to be like my daydreams.

(shit, now I'm not making any sense)

Then the dreaded word slips from my between my teeth...WHATEVER!

and I shake my head, roll my eyes, shrug my shoulders and move on...




Sad...at least it's feeling something...









I have a migraine.



A lovely combination...sadness & pain...

I, on the other hand, look worn.

Tired, dirty, old and worn.


Who cares?!?

My grass is happy, my flowers are happy...

Weeds are bummed...


All in all...a good hours work.









I need a shower, a meal and a few drinks...











Now...somebody help inside...

I have to wear heels (well, honestly, not heels...but dressy-type shoes) for work...and I'm a barefoot girl!

Flip-flops if I have too!

Oh, the pain, the pain...



I know...maybe a little drinkie will help?!?

Doesn't alcohol help for things like that?!?

I could soak my feet in it...

Rum & Coke footbath anyone?

Gin & Tonic?

I know...Whiskey!!





It might not help...but it sure couldn't hurt!!

~*~

My mood should be SARCASTIC!! ]]> *waymorewickedwitch http://waymorewickedwitch.deviantart.com/journal/19233215/ http://waymorewickedwitch.deviantart.com/journal/19233215/ Sun, 06 Jul 2008 10:24:53 PDT
It's just...


Lunch.





OOO the drama!

OOO the suspense!

eeuuuwww the wallet...



I've already accomplished so much this morning...I think I shall nap than partake in edibles.

Followed by more work...

No, let's finish the work, then eat...then nappage.

Yeah, yeah...that is an excellent decision.



Oh I'm good.




Enjoy your Sunday.







Seems I will after all.










Hhmmm...I'm thinking Margharitas...




Do I have any salt?

Last night I watched TV...couldn't sleep and there was two great old flicks on (TCM, love it)...ah, "Yankee Doodle Dandy" with James Cagney and "On The Town" with Gene Kelly...they weren't on until 2:00am & 4:00am respectively, so, I watched and went to bed about 6:00am.

During my sleep, I had the most marvelous and provocative dreams...aaahhhh....

I danced and sang and oh-la-la (giggle)!!

Incredibily real.

Most fulfilling.





aaaahhhh What dreams...





I just wish my waking moments were as splendid and REAL as those dreams were...

But doesn't everyone wish that??










Time for some coffee and a little nosh...







I'm smiling this morning/afternoon!!

Was incredibly trapped...I stupidily relied on someone else to drive me (only had gas prices on my mind) and had to wait for them to be ready to go. That always sucks.

Now I sit here...in front of my puter, old movie on in the background and the sound of cheapo fireworks outside.



Am I bored?? You bet.






Some Independence...






I suppose I could pour a drink and go outside...







then again...











I think I'd rather be bored.

Summer is here and almost over at the same time.

I've taken some pics...yes, me, that I'm going to post today (took them on Sunday).

Don't laugh.


Really, don't.



I'd like some honest comments, if you feel like it.




I'm much better at words than 'sights'.










I ponder, I think, I wonder...

]]> *waymorewickedwitch http://waymorewickedwitch.deviantart.com/journal/19106142/ http://waymorewickedwitch.deviantart.com/journal/19106142/ Sun, 29 Jun 2008 09:01:55 PDT
Whether financial, physical or emotional.

Everything has a price.

We either choose to pay it or not.

Of course, sometimes, we pay and regret.
Other times, we don't and still regret.


This is a highly pessimitic look on life that I hold so deep. No amount of considerable dialogue can sway me to this point.


I always thought of myself as an optimist...ha, I know better now. Underlying my open smile and free laugh is a deep brooding darkness, that's quick to jump and attack poor, unexpecting brightness.




Everything has a price...and we live our lives accordingly.






Pay now, pay later...but we all pay in the end.








Now, it's that a bright thought for a summer Sunday morning??

Full blown out larygnitis.

I squeak. I croak. I bleat. I honk. I basically am making barnyard animal noises instead of human speech and it's funny.

I'm laughing. Kinda.

My throat is swollen, nothing contagious and I've been sleeping for days.

It's not mono.
It's not strep.
It's not tonsils.

It's sinuses.

Sinuses from HELL.





I need tylenol.






And an exorcism.

I'm so scared of being rejected, that I'm doing it first (does that make sense??)...


I've caught myself (just today) being really sarcastic and rather rude to someone I love dearly out of plain old fear.


My heart is just racing right now as I try to put this into (semi-)intelligent words.

My fingers are tripping over themselves as I type...

Was this (relationships) that hard back when I was younger??



I don't have too many friends...I could never do what they wanted, when they wanted...I was a fat little bird in a plain old cage. Never allowed out...always looking through the window at the sun and stars. So, they stopped asking me.




This really is harder than I remember...






It will get easier, right?






Right?






Right?
