Dramatic Much?
To clear thing up before I start this blog post: I did not SERIOUSLY think I had cancer. Just that niggling part of your brain that reads too much WebMD and watches too much House. I had some serious pain and bloating in my abdomen. I am now thinking it's stress. If I internalise too much, stress turns physical and mental. This is why I have a blog (or several). That quote on my side bar is no joke, "This words I write, keep me from total madness"
Yesterday was Veterans Day. Most of my family are Vets--if I could I would give them all hugs. My grandfather, my father, my step fa ther, my mother, and my two brothers (are they vets if they are still active duty?) Without their and all that went before them and worked with them: our country would not enjoy the freedom or prosperity it has today (times might be tough, but it could always be worse).
One of my favourite writers, Laurell K Hamilton, has her own personal blog. I love it. As a writer myself (writer's block not with standing), her blog encourages me. Today, her post was just spot on and just reaffirmed, that I really want to go to St. Louis and meet her. After the emotional firestorm that was this weekend: it's what I needed to hear. It's also good to know that I am not alone.
Because, I've been hiding from my blog (no more I assure you), I haven't been able to tell funny kid stories. On the Micci front: currently he's obsessed with two things (well he's actually obsesses with many things, Bakugan being one of them, but this story is not about toys) setting his room A/C at 60 degrees (Fahrenheit!!!) and stealing and hiding my bras. The A/C thing was sort of understandable a few months ago. Now? It's just nuts! And it was NEVER okay--it's expensive. I tried to explain this to Micci. A/C at 60 means HIGH CPS bill. High CPS bill means NO Christmas presents. Smart arse responded with, that's okay Santa can still bring me presents. Oh yeah! Well, Santa doesn't give presents to energy hogs!! Sigh. Bhat! And my bras...we have been dealing with this for MONTHS!! He was good over the summer, but a few days ago he's started back up. I keep my bras hanging on my closet door (easily accessible) and when they are missing? All I need to do is yell into the house, "Micci, bring me my bras!!!! Being the observant Birdy, I always notice this when I am half naked, just from the shower. I am trying to break him of this, not because I don't want him to have bras, I just don't want him to have MINE. I told him when we are at the Dollar Store next he can buy his own. Shrug. I think he just wants something of mine. That or he enjoys me yelling at him.
I mentioned, I think, that I cleaned up my bedroom. No pictures of the actual bedroom part yet, because while it is clean, it's just ugly. No nice bed spread set, ugly, bedside tables. No pictures...I need to decorate. I really want to break out my sewing machine after the holiday. But, I do have pictures of my book shelves and CD storage.
Yeah, I need more book shelves. That tall one on the left, is stacked two deep and two tall with paper backs. And ya know what, I still feel that I don't have enough books.
This is where I keep my CDs...I have no idea how many I have, but I must have at least a hundred--maybe even two hundred. If you could zoom, you would be shocked at the spectrum of my music tastes. The only thing I don't have: Death Metal. (Jamey has the country--his paltry collection joined mine when we married). I love music. I wish life was like movies and we had a soundtrack to keep us company...at the very least it would give us a heads up when life goes on it's ups and downs. I am still listening to a lot of Mika. But lately (because I can get to my CD collection), I have been listening to whatever takes my fancy. A bit of U2, a little Sinatra, a dash of Enya, a smidge of Bach.
If ya go to my knitting blog, I took pictures of my yarn stash. If y'all are into that. Grin.
Yes, I agree. I do need a better organisation system for my books and Cds.
