Trying something new

I just downloaded Mozilla. My Internet Explorer kept crashing repeatedly.

I am currently watching The Office on TBS. It's very funny, but it bugs me that there's not any background music. I like Pam and Jim. Steve Carrell is funny as hell. I think I would like to rent Get Smart.

Your Thirst Shall Be Quenched

Your thirst for a post that is! And now for something completely different...

"For behold, I am the Mother of all things and My love is poured out upon the earth."

Charge of the Goddess

So Duamuteffe posted some song lyrics that made me think of the Charge, so I looked it up and read it again. This line never fails to move me. When I read this piece, I understand the concept of seeking comfort from your religion, and I find my comfort here.

I am looking forward to Yule/Christmas this year. My brother and his wife will be joining us for Christmas Eve. I have presents for everyone wrapped and ready to go. We went to Ellicottville to buy presents at Kazoo II for our nephew Aidan. I can't wait for more of my extended adoptive family to have kids so I can buy even more fun toys. I love being an aunt!

Tomorrow is our gift exchange amongst the management team for work. Rather than drawing names, everyone is bringing a gift that anyone might like. I think my choice was a good one, we'll see tomorrow. I also made 5 dozen chocolate chip cookies today, 2-3 dozen of which I will bring in tomorrow as well. I hope they are ok, the first batch seemed like it might be a little undercooked. But our cookie are always soft, so it's hard to tell. I think they turned out okay, despite me forgetting to mix the sugars in with the wet ingredients first. Alton would not be proud of me today.

That's all for now folks, Merry Part and Blessed Be, I will try to get in the swing of posting more again.

Also, picture from my Christmas party for those who don't myspace. I wasn't going to post it, but KGunn tagged me on myspace with it, so since people are going to see it anyway...

Isn't it great

How talking to just one person who thinks you're awesome can make your whole day? I am currently at work, drinking a chai latte from our fancy coffee machine. It is pretty good. I am working til 6 today. I really need to try to shave off a couple pounds this week if I want to get into my dress for our Christmas party on December 6th. Of course, I have also considering just ordering the dress I actually want from Pyramid Collection. What do you think?



And of course I just read not available until December 10th.

I am off to pout and look for another alternative. Maybe if I lay on my stomach, I could get the zipper of the dress I have up with plyers...

Such a sap

I just cried over a web comic.


You need to go thru the archive to get the background. Short version, Lilah and Ethan were engaged, she got pregnant, she lost the baby. They were having a rough time, and her smarmy rich ex came along to try to break them up. Ethan followed them to the airport only to find Lilah had come to her senses and remembered all the reasons she dumped that guy to start with. They traded in the ticket he had bought to follow them, and they flew to Jamaica.

Weddings are great. :-)

Working til 10 today, more WoW this weekend as the drive to level 80 continues.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Damn snow, being all slippery and wet

I had fantastic plans today to see my friends in Erie. I was going to start my Christmas shopping, and have lunch, and it would have been awesome.

I say would have been because there is a Lake Effect Snow Warning for all counties from McKean to Erie. I say would have been, because today, I am listening to my gut when it says, stay at home.

Bless Jeff, he didn't say "Don't go." He said, "Make a good decision."

But I feel crappy because I feel like I am letting people down, and I am worried they will be mad at me.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Music Video

I am currently eating Oreos and browsing YouTube for cool music. Here's something cute and funny, even though Jeff says this can't be my song because I have had more sex than anyone else, not the other way around.

I am sure someone has had more sex than me though.

Aw, Muffin

You Are a Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin

You are smart, sophisticated, and savvy. You love taking risks, and you are the first to know about new trends. You are curious about the world and tend to have many interests. You also are very talented. It sometimes seems like you are good at everything. You are very social and inclusive. You'll be friends with anyone. Even though you're very cultured, you're not a snob.

What Kind of Muffin Are You?

Cool things to hear

I called my mom tonight, after talking to my brother, and in the background I could hear my little sister yelling and carrying on. I asked Mom what had Keeker (Keely) so excited, and Mom said she was singing along with the Rolling Stones. Then I could hear Keely, plain as day shouting "Honky Tonk Woman!" in the background. I have the coolest little sister. :-)

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(Yeah!) It's the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(Yeah!) It's the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

Dream Blogging

I had a odd dream last night that my manager Tom was leaving and no one knew. We found out last minute and Pam was running around planning a going away party. He was sitting at my desk talking to me and I had to hide my reaction when Pam came around with a list for the party and asked my opinion on it.

Terrible headache this morning, I think I need to take some Sudafed and Tylenol. I am hoping I am not getting my annual sinus infection again.

Our friend Adam is visiting this weekend. We had a good time last night carving pumpkins and playing Arkham Horror. And this year, our pumpkins didn't get smashed.

I hope everyone else had a fun Samhain/Halloween or whatever you want to call it.

Zombie Dreams

I was going to include an awesome screenshot with this post, but WoW is down. Last night I had a dream we were in Eastern Plaguelands killing Scourge. The people in this house were infected and more and more zombies kept spawning. And I was me and not my character, so Khorium Rifle, no Horsemen's Blade, no super cool goggles. I had a rapier I was slashing at them with, while trying not to get infected.

I've got to get the house cleaned up this morning. We have Adam coming this weekend, and it's Halloween :-) Should be a good time.

Maybe I can take the screen shot later.

Happy Anniversary

Today is Jeff and I's 4th wedding anniversary. It is also our friend Adam's birthday. Tonight we made dinner together and watched TV. He got me a single red rose, with baby's breath. It is very pretty. After dinner I went to Tops to buy us treats. He got a pumpkin roll and I got a pint of Ben and Jerry's. I was thinking of going with World's Best Vanilla, but Tops didn't have it. I tried Dublin Mudslide, which was really good. Irish cream flavoured ice cream, with coffee fudge swirls.

We've started watching some new shows, NCIS and House are now on USA every night. I love House, how could you not love Hugh Laurie? NCIS is great, it has really neat characters. It's a crime drama with a military style twist. Think JAG with autopsies. My favorite character on the show is Abby. She's an adorable goth, who is a scientist and a very smart chick.




Good TV is good.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

More food

Today we went down West Hickory and my mom made steak, crab cakes, texas sheet cake, twice baked potatoes, garlic bread, and salad. The portions were not small.

Missed going to Ellicottville this morning as planned due to oversleeping. I'm excited that Halloween is Friday and Adam will be up next weekend. We can play Arkham Horror and carve pumpkins and it will be great.

I'm feeling tired now, might post more tomorrow, might not.

Making up for lost time, calorically speaking

I felt pretty crappy most of today. I slept like crap last night. I had one of those dreams where your teeth fall out. I realized it was a dream on about tooth number two, but I was too out of sorts to take control of the dream and go elsewhere.

I was nauseous all morning and into the afternoon, so I ate very sparingly.

That is until Jeff went to DQ and came back with a pumpkin pie blizzard and a mint oreo blizzard.

Now I feel nauseous again.

But my tastebuds are happy :-)

I dyed my hair tonight, we'll see how it turns out tomorrow after I wash it. I am fighting a losing battle against gray hairs and also against all the times I dyed it red. Now the red on the ends bleeds back through. But I did buy some new shampoo specifally for dyed hair, so hopefully it will help me keep the new color.

Going to bed at 10 tonight, and taking a Benadryl I want 8 solid hours and no screwed up dreams tonight.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you?"

Getting ready for Samhain

My cool peasant blouse came in the mail via FedEx yesterday. They put in on the front porch where no one goes, so I'm glad it was still there today when I checked the tracking number.

Working tomorrow night again. Tonight I learned that empty stomach + Swedish Fish = SUGAR HIGH. At least I got all my work done. New things are happening everyday with AJ Prindle. It's a very exciting time. Next week we are doing a 1 week training for Orders Only calls for some temps for Smart Smoker and Order Smokes Direct. The class will have 10 people, it should be interesting. 10 women so far.

I've been working more with the Faeries Oracle. Tuesday night I did a trance journey with a faery from one of the cards, the Journeyman, as a guide. We went from my place of power to the beach, walked out into the ocean and then dived deep. The faery gave me a blessing so I could swim well and breath under water. I swam and swam until my arms and legs were tired. Then I found a volcano and the bottom of the ocean. I've been trying to figure out since what it means. Fire hidden in the depths, molten lava cooling and forming a mountain on the ocean floor. I think I am going to look up the goddess Pele, and see where her symbols lead me.

Off to bed soon. Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Post

I went to a very nice dinner for work Saturday in Hamburg. There was steak, and a very tasty apple desert, with ice cream. Good appetizers too, I got to have shrimp cocktail for the first time since NC and I have concluded that I like it. Even though I shouldn't after helping Dad de-vein 5 pounds of the nasty little bastards.

Jeff and I are watching an interesting program on History Channel about body language. The only body language I have ever known to work for sure is that if a woman looks at your mouth, then your eyes, then back at your mouth, you either 1) have something in your teeth or 2) she is thinking about kissing you. Hope it's 2.

I have finished reading several books lately, the In The Garden Trilogy by Nora Roberts, Sticky Fingers by Alison Tyler, and I'm working on The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk. All have been very good. :-) Tomorrow I am going to do my bellydance workout in the morning, as Halloween is coming and so is the gypsy blouse for my costume. I've also starting looking at some basic Palmistry information online. I'm thinking about picking up a book on it. If anyone knows any good sites, I would appreciate you sending a link to my email highborn.hunter at gmail.com.

So far, I have learned that my life line and fate lines starting at the same point indicate a self-made individual, one who has made her own choices since the beginning of her life. My heart line indicates that I fall in love easily, and that I easily express my emotions. Hand shape comes into play as well. It's very interesting. Just in briefly checking out Jeff's hand tonight, I could see a lot of differences between the lines on his hand and those on mine.

So this has been a longer post than expected. I want to head to bed soon, I also have to take the Tempo to the garage tomorrow to get a headlight fixed.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Slowly slipping away...

I am back down to updating once a week maybe, will have to try harder. I am working til 9 tonight. Today is Obnoxious Shirt Day at work. Jeff dug me out his ugly old laundry shirt. It is hideous. I have to come up with Team Contest for tomorrow. Tomorrow is Team Jersey day. I will be wearing my Steelers jersey. I was going to buy a Terrible Towel at Wally World today and forgot. I did get my hair trimmed in anticipation of the fancy dinner I am attending for work this weekend. It should be fun. I wish I had a perfect little black dress to wear. I really didn't start worrying about what to wear until this week.

And Duamuteffe referenced Suz's third law in a comment on Teh Kid's blog this week. I don't remember my laws, which were probably about mixing booze and sex. I wish I remembered them, they came from hard experience, so they were probably pretty smart.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

0-2

That is my record for smart vs. stupid today. I didn't turn off the alarm when I got up this morning, I just hit snooze, waking Jeff up 10 minutes later when I was in the shower. Then I locked my keys in the car with it running at Emory Espresso Bar. I could put it down to lack of sleep, but it's probably just me having my head up my ass as usual.

But I had a latte, and I have Swedish fish, and I have good friends in town. How bad could it really be?


Last night we played Ticket to Ride and Bohnanza. I did horribly at both. Couldn't get any good destination tickets for Ticket to Ride, and I usually suck at Bohnanza.

Lacy and Jay brought up a new game called Mare Nostrum which we will check out tonight.

Prindle Training, Week 1

Starts today. Technically, this is Prindle training #2, We already have 12 people trained. I'm not really nervous, just dreading the sheer amount of work and stress that the next two weeks has in store.

Will be talking to Kelli today to see if she can do Wednesday without me. I really want to come to Edinboro. I need to be with people who recharge me and relax me.

Jeff and I had a great weekend. We played World of Warcraft, my draenei paladin complete the quests for her epic paladin mount. We also did some PVP together in Alterac Valley. We cooked nice meals together yesterday. We had a big beautiful roast with carrots and potatoes for supper that I will be eating again for lunch today.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Live this Life

Big and Rich - Life this Live

Met a man on the street last night
Said his name was Jesus
Met a man on the street last night
Thought he was crazy till I watched him heal a blind man
Watched him heal a blind man now I see

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk yes I will walk
With patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Met a girl in a chair with wheels
But no one else would see her
Met a girl in a chair with wheels
Everyone was so afraid
To even look down on her
And she just spread her little wings and flew away yeah

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk yes I will walk
With patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Met a kid on a bridge last night
Contemplating freedom
Met a kid on a bridge last night
And he said
I'm tired of this maddening life
And I'm ready to go meet Jesus
And I said he's a friend of mine
Met him just last night
And it's alright
Yeah it's all right
Yeah

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk yes I will walk
With patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore
Live here anymore

Met a man on the street last night
Said his name was Jesus
Met a man on the street last night

I just re-downloaded Horse of Different Color last night. I forgot about this song. The melody is very haunting, it gets stuck in your head. It's on my myspace page now if you want to check it out.

Blogging up a storm

I think I'm on a pretty good run here folks. Not quite daily, but frequent.

I wanted to share an entertaining thought the other day. I always thought I would love to work as a phone sex operator. Sex is something I know a lot about, and I think it would be great to shape another person's fantasy.

Then I realized an even better job -- being a quality control monitor for a phone sex business. :-)

Do you think phone sex lines have the recording that says "This call may be recorded for quality assurance?"

Harriet is picking me up for work this morning, as we are having problems with the Tempo. I need to call Fairway Ford this AM to try to set up an appointment. Yesterday at work, someone had to come save me from Pizza Napoli. That's what I get for indulging my taco craving.

Gotta be ready to meet Harriet, Merry Part and Blessed Be!
