after a no money summer
 

Money is back on the table

The extremely odd dream I had last night. Woke up smh and thinking wtf

this is on my mind..

an almost overwhelming need to re-evaluate and make a drastic change.

My mind is swirling.
- what I can and can't say without getting pounced on.
- perceptions and how different they are for each and every one of us.
- my living situation.
- my work situation.
- my life plans and how best to make them come together.
- MONEY
- my car and how unhappy I am at some of the fixes, or lack there of.
- how happy I am and yet in complete turmoil in my life.
- how freaking hot it is out.
- I'm hungry.
- I think I need more coffee.
- how I wish I was painting today.
- how I need to finish packing.
- and a bunch of other things I can't even get a handle on enough to figure them out to write them down.

Did I mention my mind was swirling.

On my mind is an editor who's really putting me through hoops to get into his journal, a nice juicy one that would open a lot of other doors.

On my mind are thoughts like, "He knows what a coup it is to get in his magazine, and that's why he's being so persnickety," or "This poem must be horrible if he's making so many changes," or "Why didn't X or Y or any other of my poet friends tell me it needed this much work—is everyone just being nice to me???"

And then I take some control over what's on my mind, and calm myself down, and smile at my good fortune.

Excuse me while I dance....

Don't be fooled by your emptiness, There's so much more room for happiness...

Keeping momentum, staying positive, being helpful, maintaining boundaries... at work.

In my relationship... how to navigate the back to school rush with my usual gusto for hym.

Sorry to hear that, Julien!

I hear you
been there done that
be careful

wonder where the what are you grateful for thread is or if it exists?
i am grateful that i have local friends from long long ago...15, 20 years that are here for me and my family. I am lucky guy for that. I like the friendships that are so solid that you can say anything or do anything...or not say anything or not do anything...and show up out of the blue and talk to one another just like we had talked for years. No b.s...just genuine truth and facts. I am lucky that they are here.

I am really sorry I am missing this year's reunion. Had I not opened the shop, I could have come. However, I am looking at the possibility of next year. I do hope everyone who goes has a marvelous time!

Letting go of shoes.

Our king size bed is covered with a HUGE pile of my shoes and there's a tiny pile on the floor that are donations... The donation pile needs to get a LOT bigger but all of my shoes are great--Still, I have to downsize.

Though I am thinking I can do under-bed storage for shoes? We're giving up our larger condo for a house with a yard.

I've been in my (dual!) closets all day and my things aren't getting sorted as quickly as I'd like. Plus, I've been a total FREAK on the phone with Q, multiple hysterical fits about my wardrobe.

Watching hurricane Issac very, very closely. Just want to get through one more hurricane season and hopefully sell all my property on the Gulf Coast.

The G shot? G-spot amplification? I cannot even imagine needing something like that, It might just kill me as I already have and "amplified" g-spot.

And... I didn't know the g-spot is actually the internal larger part the clitoris. But, it makes sense.

And... that a porn star has insured both his hands for 2 million each because he has mastered the 'spiderman' move that can find ANY womans g-spot.

So.... I guess sex is on my mind tonight. I guess I am in a better mood than earlier.

What's on my mind......
 

The same thing that's been on my mind forever....

A few acres of land with a big old house, a pottery studio, chickens, a big garden. It's always been on my mind but usually I can push it away. I work right in the thick of things and most of the time I'm ok with hustle and bustle. But, I think someday I'm just going to break down and be that crazy reclusive lady who lives alone out in the country and only comes to town to sell her pottery, eggs and vegetables.

I'm tired. Sigh.

Anyone out there know what the towing capacity is for a Mazda3?
Neither did I. It's zero.

... Crap. :(

WOW...
 

On my mind ... all the people fearing for their lives and their homes, as Hurricane Isaac assaults Louisiana.

Thinking about Dee, and others on the site, whose loved ones are there.

Thinking about Katrina in 2005, and watching the news at work, our sadness, the homemade "HELP US" sign a family made on their roof.

For so many, no one did help. I hope it's different this time.

On my mind are several things:

That my decisions are mine alone to make regarding any and every aspect of my life, especially my relationships and what I will allow for me.

It seems like everyone and their mother wants a say in how I do things. I don't think it's up to anyone besides me, what I will and won't stand for in any relationship, friendship, etc.. .

Then I remind myself if I cared what they thought it might bother me. But I really don't. Because the truth is that in the end, I live with my choices and any consequences that arise from them.

I'm grateful to the friends and family that "get me".

I'm also praying for my friends and loved ones and everyone for that matter,
in the path of the hurricane. May God protect them all.

Hm..my neighbor's son has always been such a quiet and humble sort of guy during the six years I've known them, until he blew up their garage and four cars last saturday. hmm..

Pumpkin empanadas...

Waiting for the rains from Issac to start. Already having some wind gust. I hope we don't lose power...

What is on your mind?
 

My mom, my dad, my sisters and brothers. "The family" is on my mind. I feel at peace with what is in my heart about what is on my mind.

my family back home. Damn hurricanes!

This mosquito bite sure does itch...Wheres my anti itch cream?
