I've been doing some thinking...

I often talk about how unlucky I am in love... about how my "picker" is broken... etc.

This talk puts me into a category of people I can't stand... the eternal victim.

I am not a victim.

I'm the one making the poor choices, I'm the one not standing up for what is important to me, and I'm the one who sticks around... delaying the inevitable because I'm too chicken shit to talk about the issues.

The fact is, without beating myself down, I could save myself a lot of heartache, or whatever, if I would just act like a normal person and when someone says something stupid I just reply back with something like, "Hey asshole, stop being a fucker!"

Then they stop... and I don't hate them. (secretly, of course)

Also, when something's wrong... I don't bitch about it to my poor, poor girlfriends... I need to face it head-on, take the bull by its horns... and get it over with already.

I need to learn to be a little bitchy... get what I want, when I want for a damn change.

Two things...

That made me smile this morning...

1. Fresh cut grass under my feet, right before it rained...

2. Fresh flowers on my kitchen counter...

Someone Give This Gal a Sandwich!!!

Whoever said that bony ankles and elbows were sexy... should be shot.

It's Been a Long Time... Since I Got Poked in the Ass...

Yesteday I went back to the doctor for this silly, silly poison ivy.

Apprently the first round of steroids wasn't enough to keep Lucy out of the devilish weed.

So, now my ass is a little sore... I didn't sleep a wink last night... and I'm going to pray that extra attention to my diet and a few more times at the gym this week, will keep me from gaining an another five pounds (like I did with the first steroid pack).

At this point... I'm at a "whatever it takes" attitude with making the itchy go away.

I think the last shot I got in the bum was in 6th grade... yeah, that's been a while ago now.

James Bond - Like You've Never Seen Him Before...

Its almost lunchtime...

With so much going on right now... both of my Grandparents being in the hospital for potentially serious things... poison ivy on my face (ugh... itch, itch, itch) and other random things to stress over... I'll try to find joy in the little things...

Like my brand new Hello Kitty lunchbox! Isn't it cute!



If only it were nice, warm and sunny outside... I'd be set. Instead, I'll eat here... at my desk.

In other news... I got another really kick ass package from Nana, my secret-no-longer buddy from the Punk Rock Gift Exchange. I am WAY beyond spoiled... and I don't care if SHD says the pattern looks like a watermelon (which it doesn't).



I can't wait to finish what's currently on my needles (at least some of them) to start on this new-super-fantastic felted purse.

Thanks again, Nana!

I can't believe I forgot!!!

So, I've mentioned this Punk Rock Gift Exchange here... and I thanked and posted pics on the PRGE bloger site, but I forgot to post those same pics and thanks here!

How could I?

So, here it is...


Package numero uno... from my Secret PRGE Pal.

I don't have any pics, but I did start on a pair of socks with the great sock yarn you see in the pic... there was a note pad (because all good knitters take notes... at least I do), my WIP - work in progress - is currently residing in the great Betty Boop bag, the body butter... great smells, one at home... one in the car... and one at home, and last and certainly not least... Domiknitrix! I can't wait to start one of the many super cool projects in that book!!!

Thank you bunches, Secret Pal... I love it all!
