Wabbits


...."And if you go chasing rabbits..........."
(Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit)

In my little neck of the woods, there are no rabbits. At least none that I've seen. We have an occasional racoon, oppossum, a bird sanctuary, even a zoo. But I haven't come across a rabbit in my path ever, since I've been living here. That is, until last night.

I live on a relatively quiet and dark street. There's only one street light. The kids that play outdoors (yes they actually do that here) are back inside at dark. It's really quiet (and dark).
So when I walk my lil pooch, I'm extra vilgilant because of this. (and also because there's a killer pit bull that gets loose and attacks small dogs and I'm always looking for a good escape route if this ever happens. But that's another story).

So last night I'm walking Snot Spud and off in the distance I see what I imagined was a white plastic bag of garbage tied at the top as they usually are. Then it starts to move. I think, hmm, it's not windy out, so why is that bag of garbage moving? I get a little closer and it it's up in the air now! Whoa! Am I getting flashbacks here? Is my sinus medication making me hallucinate?
Snot dog's ears perk up and off he goes! I didn't have time to retract the leash. I get closer and see that this "garbage bag" has longs ears and is hopping across the street, Snot dog in hot pursuit. Thankfully the leash stops short of Snot Spud getting rabbit kicked in his already smushed in face.

A neighbor of mine is driving down the street at this time and stops her car and gets out.
Says to me: Was that I rabbit I just saw?
Me: yes it certainly was.
Her: I wonder what it's doing here?
Me: Well I know who it may belong to so I'll just ring their bell and let them know their rabbit is on the prowl.

I ring the doorbell. The "kid" answers. I tell him his rabbit is loose. Says he knows. They let him out all the time.
Me: Oh, well he may get hurt, or stolen or sompin.
Kid: Yeah, well you should have seen one day when a big dog tried to kill him!
Me: Well you better bring him inside then.
Kid: Nah that's ok, he runs really fast. Thanks anyway. Shuts door.

(At least he said thank you.)

Moral of the story: Mind my own business???????

Brain Fog Tuesday







There once was a girl from the city
Upon which all others took pity.
She spent her whole day,
sneezing away
But couldn't think up a new blogging ditty.....

So she took medication...
And thought of vacation.....
and came up with a lot of stupidity....

She just couldn't blog
Cause her brain was all fog.....
Turned into a jello liquidity.

So she'll now stop her mewing....
Of dribbleous spewing......
Cause she's getting a little bit giddy.


Peace

AARRGGHH MONDAY!!!!!!!!


How many times and how many ways can I say that I hate Mondays!....AAGGRRHHHHH!!!

Ok I got that out of the way. Now, after spending the weekend with the worst posssible sinus headache and pressure that anyone in the whole wide world could not even come close to having,
here I am, getting ready for work...and it's MONDAY! aarrgghh!

I'm not kidding about that headache. Was so bad that banging my head with a hammer felt better than the ache. Did you ever see that commercial where the people blow their noses and their heads blow up like balloons? Well my head felt like it was going to explode and if it did it would have been quite similiar to the Big Bang and probably create it's own little galaxy, is how bad it was. I took everything under the sun to get rid of it....then took a hot steaming shower for the humidity, then stood over a boiling kettle with my handy Vicks and breathed in the vapors. Drank plenty of water, took a nap, ate something, didn't eat anything...drank some coffee, had some tea....well you get the picture.
And, by the way, the headache had nothing to do with what that picture is all about...hehe.
Just thought it was a great pic!

I get this way every fall..it's the mold spores or something from all the dead leaves lying around.
Even though I love the fall, I'm afraid the Fall doesn't like me. This is when I start wishing for the really cold weather so as to kill off all those damn spores and stuff. And then when the cold arrives and the snow comes with it, I'll have something else to complain (and blog) about. Oh it's a never ending cycle! Helpppppppppppp!

Oh by the way, HAPPY MONDAY! ;-)

Peace

I hope you dance.


HAPPY DANCE FRIDAY!!!!!!
I don't know about you but this has been a particularly busy week for me. However I've been given a gift today. A holiday from work! It's more of a reason for happy dancing! Yippeeee!
But let's not forget that the reason I have the day off is for Verteran's Day, which is officially tomorrow, but I've been blessed to work for a company that provides wonderful benefits. Also, since many of us bloggers celebrated "grant us peace" day on our blogs this past week, let's all hope that our troops come home and get a chance to become veterans or better yet, let's hope that, in the near future there won't be any reasons left for one to become a veteran.
Both my Dad and Grampa fought in wars, one in the army, one in the navy. Both of them were very proud to serve their country. If they were still alive today I wonder what they would think of the state of affairs today. Bless both of them.
Peace!
Veterans' Day (formerly Armistice Day) November 11, is the anniversary of the Armistice which was signed in the Forest of Compiegne by the Allies and the Germans in 1918, ending World War I, after four years of conflict. At 5 A.M. on Monday, November 11, 1918 the Germans signed the Armistice, an order was issued for all firing to cease; so the hostilities of the First World War ended. This day began with the laying down of arms, blowing of whistles, impromptu parades, closing of places of business. All over the globe there were many demonstrations; no doubt the world has never before witnessed such rejoicing. In November of 1919, President Woodrow Wilson issued his Armistice Day proclamation. The last paragraph set the tone for future observances:
To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nation.

A Four Letter Word Called Time


Moments......come and go ,
So fast time goes by......
I wish I could stand still...
As it speeds past me.

Or maybe slow time down,
That way I'd not age.
I'd be forever young....
But would I'd want to, I don't know.

Would I still be who I am today
or someone else completely?

Would I still gain wisdom and experience?
or would my essence stay unchanged,
if time stood still.

Time. So fast when thought about but when I don't pay attention to it, time slows and I usually have plenty of time to get where I'm going or do what I'm doing. Isn't that strange? It's true though. On the other hand if I start to think that I'm running out of time it speeds up. So why is it that time goes faster as we get older? Why do we get older faster? Or faster older?

Benjamin Franklin:
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that the stuff life is made of.

C. S. Lewis:
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

Emily Dickinson:
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Mary Parrish:
Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity can be the tick of a clock.

Albert Einstein:
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.”


Mrs. Manley:
No time like the present.

Rumi:
Come out of the circle of time And into the circle of love.

Will Rogers:
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

Take time today!

Grant Us Peace





http://mimiwrites.blogspot.com/2006/10/dona-nobis-pacem-in-blogosphere_12.html

Mimi inspired "Grant Us Peace" Day and suggested all us bloggers post this on our blogs today. A lot of you have and have also posted some really inspirational stories to go along with them.

Mine is simple and always has been...".Peace."...a small but powerful word that I feel inspires smiles everytime I say it...and I say it a lot. Sometimes people look at me like I'm crazy but that's ok. So I'm keeping it simple today too.......

PEACE



Yada, Yada, Yada Read, Sleep

Too busy to even think this week..so...I'm doing some fillers......
enjoy......

Bedtime stories for big kids, (gathered from past emails):

Mary had a little pig,
She kept it fat and plastered;
And when the price of pork went up,
She shot the little bastard.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
Her father shot it dead.
Now it goes to school with her,
Between two hunks of bread.

JACK AND JILL Went up the hill
To have a little fun.
Stupid Jill forgot the pill
And now they have a son.

SIMPLE SIMON met a Pie man going to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the Pie man, "What have you got there?"
Said the Pie man unto Simon,
"Pies, you dumb #$%!"

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one,
And killed the bastard.

HEY DIDDLE, DIDDLE the cat took a piddle,
All over the bedside clock.
The little dog laughed to see such fun.
Then died of electric shock.

GEORGIE PORGY Pudding and Pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
And when the boys came out to play,
He kissed them too 'cause he was gay.

There was a little girl who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good, she was very, very good.
But when she was bad........
She got a fur coat, jewels, a waterfront condo, and a sports car.

Please feel free to make up one of your own...and I'll post them..;-)
Peace

What you didn't know about squirrels

http://www.geocities.com/nickedemis/
www.squirrel.squirrelsinblack.org/squirrel_home.html Speaking of squirrels and thanks to Brat's comment about this link I'll share it with you all .....everything you wanted to know about squirrels.....enjoy!

A walk in the woods


Chilly breezes..
red and orange leaves....
some brown and dying under my feet, crunching.

Bright sunshine...
peeking through the branches
of trees that carry nutty nuggots that "they" eat.

In the woods..
savoring the sights of the season..
getting hit with discarded acorns on my head!

Those damn squirrels!

M word(s)


I bet you thought I forgot about my words....didn't you????? I haven't! Here's my "M" word(s) with a little twist. Instead of making up a story or providing their definitions the following represents what they mean if you dream about them. And coincidently, I just happened to have a dream that contained all these words!!! How weird is that? Here's my dream...please don't judge...it was only a dream ;-)

I was driving on a long road and saw a macaroni and cheese stand in the distance. I pulled into the driveway of the place when, all of a sudden, a rabid dog jumped up onto my car trying to bite it's way into my window! I reached over and pulled my mace can out of the slot machine I always carry with me and sprayed this mad dog as if I were a raving lunatic, then I threw the can at him and killed it. I finally managed to free myself from the dog situation and get in to purchase my mac and cheese. I sat down at the counter, relaxing a bit, reading my Cosmo magazine and realize that there's a piece of macaroni that bears a striking resemblence to the Virgin Mary! Oh my! But as I dig deeper into the bowl, I realize it's really filled with maggots!

Oh and by the way, the mac and cheese stand was owned by the mafia).

Help me interpret my dream please.......


Macadamize
To see or travel on a macadamized road in your dream , denotes a pleasant journey that will prove beneficial and profitable.

Macaroni
To dream that you are eating macaroni, denotes small losses. To see macaroni in large quantities, signifies that need for you to be frugal, economize, and save money.

Mace
To see or use mace in your dream, represents your quest for objectivity over subjectivity. You do not let your emotions rule your actions.

Machinery
To see machinery in your dream, suggests that you are going about your way without much thought. You are making decisions without thinking it through. You need to get out of your boring pattern. Alternatively, it indicates that your self-image or a relationship may be in need of repair.

Mad Dog
To see a mad dog in your dream, denotes that you and your friends will be the verbally assaulted by your lowly rivals..
To dream that you kill a mad dog, signifies that you will overcome the adverse opinions of others and rise to prosperity.

Madness
To dream that you are diagnosed with madness or that you are mad, forewarns of trouble, loss, and overwhelming grief. You may have been behaving in an inappropriate way in your waking life.
To see others suffering from madness, signifies a gloomy end to hopeful prospects.

Madonna
To see the Madonna in your dream, symbolizes the mystical mother and the giver of life and beauty. It also signifies blessings.

Mafia
To dream that you are a member of a mafia, suggests that you are allowing others to manipulate you. Or you are using your power against others.
To dream that you come in contact with the mafia, indicates that you are experiencing some inner conflict and turmoil.

Magazine
To read a magazine in your dream, indicates that you are opened to various new ideas. Consider also the theme and name of the magazine and its symbolism.

Maggot
To see maggots in your dream, represents your anxieties about death. It may also be indicative of some issue or problem that you have been rejecting and it is now "eating away" at you . You need to confront it for it is destroying your sense of harmony and balance.
In particular, to dream that you are stepping on maggots, indicates guilt and impurity. You are trying to repress your immoral thoughts or behavior . On a positive note, it may symbolize your resilience, persistence, and your ability to bounce back from adversity.

Work and Candy, or Not Work and Candy




I've been playing catch up at work all week....to get ready for things to come....(spooky music should be heard here now)....and because of that , well not just that..well, my circuits are overloaded and my brain is fried. So when I'm in this kind of mood I just randomly type and whatever comes out is what goes here! Randomness....stream of conscienceness......too much sugar eaten.....thanks to all those sweet little trick or treaters who stopped tricking and treating at a very early hour only to leave moi with a pumpkin bowl filled with M&M's, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Vanilla Tootsie Rolls (new and oh so good), Hersey Kisses filled with cherry cordial (another new one and ohhh sooooooooooo yummy). I really don't eat a lot of sugar but once I get started I'm like a junkie on herion.....I just couldn't have one piece of candy...I literally tried every kind of candy I had. I was 7 years old again with a great big bag of very very cool candy. Nothing I didn't like and nothing I didn't try. I overdosed. And I felt rotten yesterday morning. Had a sugar hangover and because of this I was not up to my normal efficient, eager beaver working self yesterday. Oh well...can't expect to be perfect all the time ..hahahahahahahahah......I've got to remember to bring that shit to work with me today.
Peace
