I’m asking the question; you’re gonna give me an answer. I’m not gonna spend this whole post talking abuot the poll either.  I’m sure you can all guess how I voted in this.  I said “Stongly Disagre” I’ve long said that I think that George W Bush is the Worst President ever and this country is slowly collasping like flan in a cubbard.  (Thank you Eddie.) Take the poll, and comment if you like.  REALLY have something you want to get off your chest? Login and write a post, FFAF is tomorrow. If you don’t feel like doign that, you can always tell us why you voted the way you did in the comments. Comments are good.

Today while in a Dr’s office waiting for client I picked up an old magazine and thumbed through it. I started to read an article about the death of a little girl and how it saved her mothers life.  I had to stop after I read about she died though; I started to cry.  Lulu was 4 and a bike rack fell on her and literally broke her heart and killed her. I stopped reading because it was too sad. But now I wish I’d read the whole thing.  I’m stuck in the sadness; remebering things like her fingerprints on the rose colored sunglasses that she liked so much. I’m going to have to go back and finish the article next week I think. Otherwise the only memories I will have of that story will be sad ones.

I’m currently listening (online) to the community radio station in my hometown. My father has his own two hour slot now. Tonight is his first show - he’s calling it Highway 71. I think I’m gonna call here in a bit and ASK why he’s calling it that. I have a feeling that there’s something significant. :-)

I’ve confused people with my credit giveaway on the Trivia.  The deal is, you get 10 credits for participating and getting at least one answer correct.  You CAN guess all 10, but not only would that not be fun to anyone else, but you’re still only gonna get 10 credits.

I’m very excited. It turns out my dream of a 10 year HS reunion is actually coming true. :-) Turns out that my classmates really HAVE been planning something - even though I pretty much was shut out of the planning - and it’s going to be held over Labor Day weekend this year.  I can’t wait! At first when I got the email about it I thought they meant Memorial Day, which would have meant I likely couldn’t go. But, hot damn, it’s like 4 months from now. That’s plenty of time, and I’m fuckin’ goin! ;-) And here in a couple weeks - the weekend before my birthday - a group of us are gonna go camping! We’re going for about 3 days and we’re camping in tents on the beach.  Well, technically it’s not the beach, but we can walk to the beach from our plot!  Whoo Hoo we get to surf! ;-) I can’t surf with a board, but this one time I had a damn good time body surfing! :-) It’s the best part - being right on the beach!  Sleepin on the ground for 3 nights, and being outside without AC in May, in Florida, other wise wouldn’t be worth it. It’s already at 90 during the days now, or at least it FEELS that way.  And I’m not just exaggerating. My freckles are SO gonna rock!

I love getting the titles for posts from the music I listen to.  Thanks Papa! ;-) Oh, y eah. I almost forgot. I took on a new Renter today.  His name is Irvine, and he’s in the sky with diamonds. (Just like Lucy!) He’s Four; loves to paint and draw and create images with anything that produces colors, so his mom has helped him make this website.  So, check it out iv’e got the chance. :-)

Every dang day since I put up that screen I thought about what I could be, or should be writing in here.  I’ve decided that running away to hide won’t do me any good. I won’t get my muse back by NOT trying to write anything. Maybe it sucks, maybe it doesn’t; I don’t care anymore. I miss it. I miss blogging and writing and doing things on-line.  I did do some organization before I opened the site back up.  I moved nearly ALL my posts into one category, and better organized the ones that are left.  Currently I’ve got 10 categories, but I know that I will be adding more. I just can’t decide what I want to call them.  I should have thought of THAT before I did THIS, huh? ;-) I think I’ll do some surfing today, look at blogs that I really like, and see how they’ve organized things. If you’ve got suggestions, let me know. I take those. :-)

Things I missed talking to you about since I’ve been gone

The new Dixie Chicks song - “I’m not ready to make nice”. {link} It’s DAMN good! The video is breathtaking.  If you like the Dixie Chicks I’m sure you’ll like this.  A couple years ago these girls got in some hot water over some things that lead singer Natalie Maines said regarding George Bush. (Things that were right on the money as far as I’m concerned.) Fans turned against them, radio stations stopped playing their tunes.  This song; reaction to that hot water. It’s poignant and beautiful.  I’ve listened to it at least 10 times and I still get chills and goose pimples when I listen.

It’s Birthday Season!  Birthday Season, for me, officially opens the month before my birthday.  That was Monday.  Currently there are 26 days and 15 hours until my 28th Birthday.  And why YES that IS a count down on my sidebar. And a link to my wishlist.  I can be shameless about gifts. But what girl DOESN’T love to get things in the mail! ;-) I will be 28 this year; I can’t quite believe it actually.  I can remember my 17th birthday party, AND my 19th, but I don’t quite remember my 18th.  I will have to think about that actually.  Still - I’m excited! ;-) I love my birthday. And it’s LESS than a month away now! ;-)

Happy Four Twenty Day.  I won’t be celebrating on time today, but I certainly plan on celebrating. Oh, you don’t know the significance of 420?  Read this and be schooled. 

Have you come upon my blog via an internets search? Either with Google, or Blingo, or Yahoo!?  Well, I’d really love it if you could see to making a comment on this entry about that search. What were you looking for? And which engine were you using. Yeah - I could look this stuff up via my stats in my control panels; but truth be told they’re so full of referral spam It’s hard for me to spot the good stuff. So; be a sport and comment on this entry with the engine you used and the keywords you were searching for when you his this blog.  Thanks bunch & bunches!
