More alt-country coming my way...just ordered some Tift Merritt.  Yay!  Oh, and a political book 'cause I'm convinced I can make myself be a little more interested.  One of my common things the last few years:  deciding what I don't believe in...not getting around to what I do.  So, I'll say "yeah, i don't really like kerry or bush (though i can pick a lesser evil in my mind)," but then I'm slow to say "but, what I really believe in is x, y & z."  So, I wanna be able to do that. The same goes for talking about God/religion/spirtual-stuff. Comments11:17:01 PM

Such a nice eve.  Got in 45 minutes of walking with the dogs...such a lovely fall day for it too.  Then Dal and I had a nice time catching up and talk/talk/talking over sushi and then some dessert in little italy.  It was good to catch-up.  For some reason we always end up running or skipping when we hang out.  heh.  I've been looking up couple-y Halloween ideas tonight.  There's a lot of goofy ideas out there.  The only one I came up with that I ended up not seeing elsewhere is a deer and a hunter.  Heh.  Heh.  What can I say? I am from Arkansas and there's a lot of hunting that takes place there.  I, however, haven't yet killed an animal on purpose.  Oh wait, I've been fishing.  yeah...  So, decision to be made...by Saturday!

Oh, yippee!!!  A walk (hhmm..maybe a jog) with Carole and Miro tonight and then sushi with Dallas.  A perfect way to spend a Monday eve after a busy day at work.  Hhmm...maybe we'll walk around too.  I'm quite in a fall-walking mood.    Comments2:59:29 PM

Who gave you permission to take my breath away? I was just glancing your way And then standing a little too close Hoping You'd give my breath back Comments2:35:02 PM

It's seldom that I spend time thinking about something that I can't bring myself to talk about here.  Or with  most of my friends.  Hhmm...I didn't really realize I was concerned with being judged.  Maybe after a bit more research... Comments2:17:24 PM

Don't just stand there watching me Go ahead and come out to play You'll find that it's not scary It's really lots of fun The slide is sometimes slippery But your shoes will help you stop The swings will only go as high as you decide And they'll get low rather quick On the monkey bars you call the shots No one will make you hang upside down But if you give it a try you may get a head-rush Ang giggle until your sides hurt No one says there won't be pain Mostly, however, it's fun Move from the window And come outside to play Comments7:53:56 AM

My office is a little spooky at 6 AM...there's not only no one in the whole building, but not any of the nearby buildings either.  *yawn* Must have coffee!!! The work stuff is going okay.  I slept decently (okay, a full 8 hours...but I could've totally done 10).  Another week of attempting a healthier lifestyle has begun.  A constant struggle for me...true, true.  So, I had lots of realizations in and out of sleep yesterday and that's where the peace came from.  I was thinking of actively working to change a piece of me and decided against it. Yeah....yeah... Here's a funny piece of information about me:  When I was 15-16, I was in this group called "Pride."  We traveled around the state of Arkansas and performed Drug/Alcohol- Free routines.  We did singing/dancing routines and skits.  Elementary students loved us.  We hosted prom and graduation night activities.  We could wear our uniforms (green or white shirts that had "PRIDE" on them and black pants) the day of performances.  It was fun. It was over 10 years ago, but I just feel like I should explain how being a "good girl" goes way back.  Oh, before that I was almost always the "ambassador" for my classes in elementary school...so when someone new started I'd show them around, give them a group to eat lunch with and such.  So, before singing and dancing, I was still a perfect example of a "good-kid."  [Though, at home, I did have a rough life sometimes...I was a good masker.] So, this part of me is not going to be easily changed and probably I shouldn't try to force it.  Mostly I'd like the adventure and excitement of not being so good, but I think that maybe I'm just being silly.  I am who I am and what happens...happens...within my control. Oh, so I'm here to work. Comments7:02:18 AM
