12/16/11--07:03: I was so tired last night driving home, though trying to be happy looking at pretty Christmas lights decorating the houses, that I caught myself stopped at a street light at a major intersection and I realized it was green. sigh... Im glad there were no impatient, ornery people behind me beeping their horns. (chan 1472323)




12/19/11--00:37: sleep. what is sleep? It's peels backwards. Banana peels? apple peels? peeling rubber on a hot summer day? ugh. sleep is ever elusive and it's frustrating when I finally have the time to, but it just won't stay. I've about an hour before I have to be up to drive to pick up someone and take them to the airport. why am I awake? IDK. I only slept 2 and a half hours and even that included one other waking. sigh.

12/19/11--04:28: well, the sun is coming up making the sky bright. I suppose I should try to get a little sleep before the whole neighborhood is awake and noisy, with kids off school, and people revving up their cars. (chan 1472323)




12/19/11--18:06: The Best of Cheese (chan 1472323)

It was the best of times it was the worst of times... No it wasn't. It was the best of Cheese. For those who don't know, Cheese is just one of the characters from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. He belongs to Mac. (hehe Mac and Cheese) The blue guy is just Bloo short for Blooregard Q. Kazoo


12/19/11--20:50: Night Journey (chan 1472323)

The nightwings wrap you up in their folds,

yet cannot protect you from the wind whistlers.

The stars shine a million lightning bug points of light,

guiding your way if you know how to read them.

The air is cold and crisp

It smells good, but hurts your lungs if you inhale too sharply.

A scarf wrapped around your head keeps in the heat

like Gramma's homemade soup warmed your insides.

One foot in front of the other to your destination.

Do you know where you are going?

12/22/11--23:44: to the one who recently left the flock...yea, fine. bye to you too. You aren't the only one with moods and problems. It was nice knowing you while it lasted but I've got enough crap to deal with then to go searching for and begging you back when Im not even sure if it was a personal issue why you dropped me or if it's just that I haven't replied enough or in the way you wanted or whatever lately.. so bye. I know you dont Need me, and vice versa. I used to say it was better to be wanted than needed, so should you WANT to find me again... well, maybe. Im rather good with forgiveness. Though currently Im sure you are scoffing at the idea of needing forgiveness. So go, enjoy your solitude or whatever. may the silence not be deafening, and it Will be quieter without you.

12/24/11--03:33: Good morning. time for a nap such is the fate of those of us up throughout the night. well, it's still dark for a little while. I can hardly believe it's Christmas eve already. Time has flown this year. Enjoy your day people. Don't stress too much over the petty things. Do something fun. (chan 1472323)




12/27/11--05:00: Picture Perfect- trappings of the season (chan 1472323)

 I feel a bit odd with the word 'trappings', bc I definitely don't feel trapped into believing what I do. Perhaps "wrappings of the Season" would've fit as well, but I didn't choose a picture of the lights I so love, or a Christmas tree or the presents that many think of when they think of Christmas. That stuff wraps up, aka decorates, the holiday, and so would fit the theme,  but I chose to go with something more basic, to the core of  how and why I celebrate. I am sorry it is blurry.

On the picture perfect page, Gator wrote:"So starting today through next week select a favorite shot
that best sums of Christmas, Solstice, Hanukkah, Ramadan,
or what ever your particular culture celebrates."

This is my son reaching for a communion wafer. It is definitely symbolic of my religious holiday belief b/c the Bible says that Christ, before breaking of the bread and drinking the wine at the Last Supper with his disciples, said "Do this in remembrance of me". It represents H...


12/31/11--11:57: what do you call a rastafarian who continually jabs his index finger into your side? (chan 1472323)




12/31/11--16:35: neighbors are setting off fireworks. it's still early. (only 6:35), but I've been talking on the Phone to London and i heard thiers as it passed midnight. Now my friend is in the new year while I'm still in 2011. cool. I hear fireworks from 2 years at once. Even better than standing on the border with feet in 2 different states at once but as a kid I remember doing that and thinking it kind of cool. (chan 1472323)




01/01/12--03:36: well I managed about 5 hours sleep. maybe ill sneak in one more before going to work. yep work. while many of you are sleeping in or nursing your hangovers. Happy new Year. (chan 1472323)

01/22/12--21:06: A heavy fog hangs thick in the air, a slight sprinkling of rain. The sky in the NW glows an odd orange for 11pm. The wails of sirens and horns pierce the night. Someone is in danger. God be with them. (chan 1472323)




01/23/12--11:44: sigh. A 15 foot branch crashed down out of a tree in my back yard last night. It broke into 3 pieces upon impact. I am thankful it didn't hit the roof, the shed or the gazeebo, but there IS a tear in the mosquito netting currently around the gazeebo. That saddens me. I'll have to look into how to properly repair it... Can I just sew it with needle and thread perhaps? (chan 1472323)




01/25/12--19:36: I got to hold a teeny tiny baby tonight and dance it to sleep. It finally reached 6#. It was only 4# at birth but first had to stay in ICU. Since I'll probably never have another of my own, moments like this are so sweet. (chan 1472323)

01/27/12--22:21: I dreamt of you (chan 1472323)

Dulce Sky- I dreamt of you Shining bride of angelic smile you seem to float as you come down the stairs I lost you in the crowd In the maze of this place I ran through rooms looking for you I thought I saw your face in a sea of smiles You make my dream so real I still awoke without you I went back to sleep  to find you in my dreams I finally could find you there you were still the same sweet angel face You didn't know what happened Then fell into my arms.
