The Life and Times of a Part Time Dreamer....

Yesterday I was denied the privilege of spending sometime here in Cyber Space do to the unexpected scheduling of my work. I spent a grand total of ten hours in their with no place to rest my hind quarters for what seemed an eternity. Google Images My toes were the first to protest this outrage and, like a certain supervisor I have who seems to sour everyones mood when he is around, my toes began to spread their unhappiness amongst the other joints in the area. Thus, every joint all the way up to my knees began to complain loudly. But unlike that certain supervisor who got out of my hair around 2pm, my joints would continue to whine until I removed them from service at 10pm. Also around 8pm I began to get kinda loopy from boredom and exhaustion. And with nobody in the store and only the occasional Drive-Thru order, singing, dancing, and getting rather creative with how the few orders were bagged/handed out seemed a reasonable way to try and liven up the last two grueling hou...

What a lazy Saturday this is. Pancakes at ten and then a moment in the computer chair to contemplate what to announce to the world today.Perhaps I use this as an excuse to remain in my pajamas for a little while longer this morning. I've been feeling sentimental lately. My mother is putting together a slide show for my grandparents 50th anniversary so this sappy easy listening music has been blowing through our home that has my mother making claims about her brain turning to mush, as she arranges the images to this music. I actually have been enjoying it, makes me feel all mushy and romantic inside. Makes me want to go out dancing, swirl around the floor in a beautiful skirt and bare feet. google images It must be the silly little girl in me who feels like dressing up and being admired. To wear things far to big or too fine for me. I can't say how many times I've wished I were a fine lady dressed endlessly with ribbons, curls, and pearls. But then I could never wear...

"The heart is tender, the heart is a song the heart is warm, the heart is strong the heart feels, the heart aches the heart flys, the heart breaks then it heals, and continues to beat and will always, with out defeat I've discovered something in my journey through the ridiculousness of teenage life. Feelings can effect the body almost more than the mind. Especially when those feelings deal with the heart. There is almost no middle ground when dealing with those kinds of feelings. They are always extremes. You can feel as though you could fly to the moon and never come down again. Or you can feel like the bottom of someones shoe who just took a walk through a cow pie. Whats more those feelings are brand new and incredibly...no... insanely strong. How do you stand against a tidal wave when all you have is a bucket? I mean really. How do you manage to take those wonderful and incredibly good feeling emotions without wondering how you will live with the crushing disap...

There I was just chilling downstairs trying to decided what to attach to my blog. I had been thinking about fairies and forests, things of that nature. I thought I might write a story that involved these things. Thus I began searching the Internet for inspiration. BUT! Instead of finding inspiration for writing I became increasingly drawn to the idea of drawing my own picture! Before this moment of artistic inspiration evaporated I raced to print some model pictures and quickly grabbed my pencil to begin what I could now see in my head as the most beautiful Fairy Ball that have ever been held under the light of the Full Moon. Covered in graphite and surrounded by papers with pictures of ballet dancers and flowers is how my mother found me when she went to answer the door. Thus buried in my creative attitude I didn't realized what was happen at my front door until my mother plopped a rather heavy cardboard box at my feet. It took my brain a moment to register just what was ...

When I woke up Monday morning to my mother saying " Are you coming with me or what?" the last thing I expected to accomplish in the next three hours was to be committed to a rescue mission or pop a garden into existence where there wasn't even a hint of one before Never the less, once she had managed to get me up to go run with her she proceeded to brief me on our mission for the morning. She had been feeling sorry for a lonely Daisey that had made it's home in the middle of a vacant lot at the back of our neighborhood. It had no one to love it so we took into our heads to bring it home. After we ran home and chugged a gallon of water ( well, at least I did. Mom was too ninja for that), we proceeded with our plan. I threw the shovel in the back of the car and Mom grabbed a box and we were set on a mission. I couldn't help but giggle to myself as Mom hummed the mission impossible theme while we drove through our still sleeping neighborhood. Once the Daisey had be...

I often find it hard to resist a photo booth in the mall. They seem to catch the perfect "Moment of Truth" in everybody as we press our faces up to a camera designed to make us pull the most ridiculous faces. Cameras tend to bring out who we really are ( or who we think we want to be), whether it's a secret agent or drama queen the camera WILL TELL. Photo booths are a place to show just how much you can get into each others space and how comfortable you are with that whole situation . The pictures that result sometimes our "good side" but mostly seem to catch just the right angle to make you wonder "is that something in my nose?" or " are my ears really shaped that way?" And finally every teen, pre -teen, and -yes- even adults will make it there purpose to see just how many bodies will fit inside one of these machines. And as they all get stuck the camera will record every moment of their stupidity........ Cameras see things clearer ...

I've rarely felt that I am entitled to or deserve a break. Especially when I have to condone one for my self. Often it's taken my mother telling me to go back to bed when I'm incredibly grouchy, or my finally falling apart into tiny pieces all over the floor to finally get the message to my conscience that it's OK to take a break. So I guess you could call today oddity. I've designated this day as my day for me. a breath of fresh air a pause in my crazy life I'm spending it doing me best to unwind myself from all my " go and do." My inner brain is still running ninety miles an hour trying to figure out what it is I've forgotten or what else needs to be done. It won't shut up. The funny thing is is that I'm sure there is something I'm supposed to be doing but I can't remember and I'm pretty sure it can wait a day while I enjoy myself. a good movie, a treat, my sketch book, and maybe reading a while will hopefully allow things to ...
