Back to work

Back to work after the long weekend. I am 6 lbs heavier and not a whole lot wiser! Looking forward to another 4 day weekend,, Gee that won't be until NEXT YEAR!!!

Got a little help with my website from my wise and patient girlfriend (well as much as you can help an idiot) .. the time is getting closer to have it done.. gosh I think only a week for so! OH NO!!! Just saying that,, now I am in a total panic!

OH NO!

The Day After

The day after TG is always a traditional shopping day right? Well I glanced at the ads last night, and yeah,, saw a few good deals, but they were basically all from 6am-9am. Nah, not this year! I didn't feel like fighting the crowds, although Jeff and I went to Joanne Fabrics this afternoon to pick up some material for our baby niece (Jeff is planning on making her a baby blanket for Christmas)...(awww how sweet) BUT we left without getting anything. The line for the fabric cutting must have been a mile long, and the checkout line 2 miles long. Definately not worth the $2.00 savings for a 3 hour wait!!!! We'll go another day!

We did however pick up the prime rib for Christmas Dinner! REG price $95.00! We got it for $60.00 (an 9 lb prime rib).

$95.00 for a hunk of meat is insane! (kinda gross when I put it that way)

Tomorrow (speaking of tomorrow,, Lil'Orphan Annie is on TV right now singing the sun will come out tomorrow) I am heading to Centralia, WA to meet up w/my girlfriend. A little Christmas shopping, girl chat, and maybe a movie! It'll be fun!

OOOHHHH new auctions!

Finally got around to listing a few new EBAY AUCTIONS!

Wanna take a PEEK?????

Happy TG!

Well, I sit here stuffed to the brim. The food great, the company even better! I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family hosted by my dear Grandmother. She is 82 and still manages to make THE best stuffing on the planet (not even joking)

I am thankful for so many things....

My family, husband, dogs, friends,, and so much more!

I hope and pray everyone had as wonderful of Holiday as I did!!!

Ready for the Holiday

  I am so ready for a holiday! Tonight after work I came home and fell asleep on the couch for 2 hours (which is something I never do) I am more than ready to have a few days away from work!

The rest of Saturday...

 

After we were done loading/unloading the wood on Saturday we made it home around 1:00.~~The day was still young!~~

We decided to go out to lunch at our favorite reasonably priced restaurant “The Broadway Grill”~~which we found out we are now “regulars” there because they knew us the minute we walked in the door. (I guess that can be either a good thing or a bad thing) After an always-fabulous meal we spent the following few hours browsing the shops up on Capitol Hill, and then proceeded to the University Village where I was able to go to my favorite shop ANTHROPOLOGIE. Even though Jeff isn’t a huge shopper I think he actually had a lot of fun. We didn’t spend much money, but did a lot of window shopping, and got some great home-décor ideas!

A few good people!

    A little help goes a long way! With the help of a few good people we were able to move 2 quards of wood in NO time! A few people chipping in and we were able to provide heat for a family for an entire winter! We were lucky enough to be able to do it without ANY rain! Matter of fact, after the fog subsided it was a beautiful day!!

Where does the talent come from?

When one is extremely talented in the drawing/sketching arena...where does this talent come from? Is it something you are just born with? Is it something that you acquire from the age of 2?  Is it in your genes? IS IT EVEN SOMETHING YOU CAN LEARN?

Ever since I was young I have always LOVED to draw. I have always LOVED paper, crayons, markers, paints, pencils etc etc...only 1 thing... as much as I TRY, I have never been "talented" at it.

~~ oh what it is like to have the life of an illustrator for children's books??? ~~

It just not fair. As hard as I try, and try and try and try,, I am not good at drawing. Do these talented illustrators just have a vision in their mind and are just able to draw it? (one illustrator in particular I LOVE is French Toast Girl) Do they just let the pen go like water flowing from a faucet and voila,, they have an adorable drawing? I just don't get it! I have always wondered. Do they know how envied they are by non-artists???

Maybe the reason I took to collage art is the fact that I don't have to know how to draw.. but really... is collage really an "art"? I mean you're not drawing or painting anything.

SKINNY BOOK

I joined Emmy Tofa's Skinny Book Swap and have actually completed my responsibility plenty of time before the due date!

Oh what a feeling!

I cannot wait to see the completed product!

Bizarre!

Discernment in 2004 and beyond

As we move into the fourth dimension we are experiencing a shift in consciousness. The fourth dimension is more a state of mind than an actual place. When you are living your life with all of your chakras wide open, and all of those around you are experiencing life in the same way, it will be in the fourth dimension.
Discernment applied to different sources of information is becoming of paramount importance.
The many agendas for Planet Earth and its inhabitants come from many sources and some are published in the media. Various extraterrestrial sources are talking about many possible scenarios to take place within the next 5 to 10 years. Some are talking about government DNA and mind control, the New World Order by 2003, annihilation from negative ETs etc. Some are talking about the Ascension (Rapture) of many of us, together with Planet Earth, possibly helped by the positive ETs. All these scenarios are possible, depending on your own reality. The message is to follow your heart, your gut feelings and intuition, not your intellect. Be discerning with the feelings and information you process. Does it resonate with you. Work towards healing the planet and yourself and say no to those who wish to control us. Following the Mayan calendar can help free us from the time and money circle, liberate the mind and open the way to the new age beyond time and money.
