Hi there~

Recently, I have been doing lots of things that are forcing my brain to engage.  I joined Twitter.  I joined Face book. I am working with my fabulous friend Christine on our radio show…which will begin in January…January 8th to be exact.  I will share more about that with you later:).  I am learning how to use blog talk radio….how to use our new snazzy camera that can actually put pictures on the computer!  I know…I know…everyone has been doing this for a long time…but, not me! Learning how to do podcasts (which will be on my website soon!), videos (also a new website addition)….and some other things that I can’t remember cuz my brain hurts!

My brain has been super uber engaged.

Something about learning technology that just makes my head…ummm…or brain….feel…hmmmmmm…like it is working really hard!!!!  I can almost hear crunching sounds in my head…sometimes it sounds like ice cracking…whatever this is…my synaptic responses are definitely creating brand spankin’ new pathways.

Now, because these pathways are so brand spankin’ new…the information doesn’t always stick.  After focusing REALLY HARD on learning how to log on to face book and write stuff…I went to bed all proud of myself, looking forward to playing with this again in the morning, only to wake up with my brain wiped clean.  When I say “clean”…I mean…completely clean.  Which means I had to relearn the whole damned thing again!!!!

So after a few weeks (more…)

I woke up this morning with a light feeling inside my belly.  The fella that I voted for is going to be the next President of the United States.  I am thrilled that so many people from different belief systems, from different religions, from different political views…from different histories…came together to elect this man to the highest office in the land.  OVERWHELMINGLY!!!!!

Yay us!  Yay this country!

Now…we have a lot of work to do to clean up all of these messes!

Time to roll up our sleeves~

How are you feeling about the results of this election?

Have a light hearted day~

Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  I love anything that has something to do with witches, goblins and ghosts.  And then to add the Day of the Dead on November 1st and 2nd….so much fun!!!!!  Anything that uses skeletons for decorations…count me in.

My fella and I love skeletons so much that a few years ago we bought a Stanley Mouse painting of a skeleton draped in roses. (more…)

Hi you fabulous readers you!!!!

What a difference a day makes!  I am feeling way better this morning.  I feel back to my perky old self~ with just a smidge of an edge!

So what has changed my state of being?  Anything happen between yesterday and today?

Well, not really…but, I had a dream …

I was visited last night by a bunch of dead people…a little Halloween humor I suppose~  Anyway, the group of dead folks visit me once in a while when I am in a particularly stressed out place in my life.  Last night I was hangin’ out in a dreamscape, hangin’ out by a big ol’ tree (I think it was an oak tree…though the bark was very comfy to lean against…you know how dreams go). (more…)

I am happy to share that even though we might be facing financial disaster, I have been meeting some very very very kind people along this journey.  Yesterday, I called the hospital billing folks to tell them that our insurance has “declined” to pay for the surgery that they had “pre approved” back in April.  Not only had they declined to pay, they have decided to drop me as a customer.  Well, they beat me to the punch.

I told my fella: “No way!  They can’t break up with me first!  I was going to break up with them first!!!!”

I must admit that I have never had an insurance company break up with me…so, my ego is a wee bit injured.

So, back to the story at hand.  I called the billing babe and she was so kind to me.  I told her what was going on.  She sympathized with our story (more…)

Hi everyone~

I know that it has been awhile since I have posted anything here.  I have been writing a variety of posts…and then deleting them.  The delete button is my new favorite key.  I just can’t seem to get enough of it.  Last week, I spent two hours writing about how god created the pyramid scheme…and then felt like the two posts were way too edgy…so I deleted them.  The week before that, it was a tirade on how fucked up and creepy Sarah Palin is, how happy I am for SNL….and then deleted those posts too.  I decided they were way to opiniated.  Then there were the posts discussing this economic situation this country is in….and those posts just seemed cynical.  So…I deleted them.

I try to write about topics that explore this thing called “being alive”…using some humor and lots of irreverence.  And because I have such a variety of folks reading this blog, I try to write from an open minded perspective…in a way that supports a variety of world views.  Hence….my new favorite key…the DELETE button.

I am sorry to say that right now… (more…)
