I am frightened for all the people in the path of this storm....

What's on my mind....

How things are happening for the shelter kids since the feng shui has been started... and enhanced. Kids are coming in with jobs, finding housing, and even having success with medical needs.

And I haven't even gotten the four directional animals on the walls yet... or smudged. :)

Just think what successes will take place when I get those things done... :cheer:

Work *sigh* and everything under the sun!

a dark and cold room, a light sheet for a blanket.... maybe some bad b rated movie.... and some company to hold and sleep with.

Being in Hys nice warm bed with the A.C. on....Watching a good movie....And snuggling....Hoping and praying I can visit Hym soon.......

Wondering what I'm doing wrong at work, promotion-wise. I'd be more obsessed about it, but the rest of the managers from the Program That Went Boom are in a worse spot than me. I still have a "leadership" position and 3 of the others are collecting unemployment. The other two are working solely as reps again.

I try to tell myself that it's clearly not me; it's like the PTWB kind of contaminated all of us, and I came out the best out of the 6 of us. But still, I'm tired of applying for equivalent positions and having them come to nothing.

Thinking about how I *really* don't want to go to jury duty this morning and how trivial and lame that thought is compared to the below.

Thinking about all the people, especially Planeteers, affected by the storms yesterday and last night. Hoping all are ok. Sadden by the pictures I have seen, especially those of parents waiting for a child's name to be called that never was.......

No doubt the tornado. The one was an F4. They are eerie. An aspect of spring and summer that i am not so fond of.The search and rescue have found over 100 people. I hope that they can get to them and find more. So sad.:vigil:
I wonder if it was an F5. Hope for no more.

I watched the news this morning...the terrible devastation in Oklahoma is definitely on my mind...the many souls lost...fearing for the well-being of BFP family in the area...prayers are being sent your way...just wish I could do more...

:praying:

what is on my mind?

human nature

friendship integrity

forgiveness

community

What is on my mind?

Well, I am wondering how many shoes should I take for a month away, 8 pairs or more?
And don't even get me started about how many handbags I want to take.

Also I am starting to get stressed out about seeing my loveable but insane family.
Cause in their eyes I will always be the baby of the family. Just lovely being the youngest!

Today I'm thinking about how loving this community is. I appreciate the words of kindness and support from my post above, especially in the light of all dreadful stuff that's happened this week. I've got it good compared to our Oklahoma peeps, both here and at work. Sending prayers and good thoughts to all of those in the path of the storm system as it moves eastward.

What is on my mind ........
 

I am wondering if I will be able to spend tonight alone with company, enjoying quality time after having a little bit of fairy fun.

cant sleep
 

No Leaf Clover

And it feels right this time
On this crash course we're in the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
Beauty fills his head with wonder, boy....

Says it feels right this time
Turn around, found new high lights
Good day to be alive Sir
Good day to be alive, he said.....

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just the freight train coming your way

Don't it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Suck up for that quick reward boy
Suck up for that quick reward they said.....

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just the freight train coming your way......
It's coming your way
It's coming your way......
Here comes

Yeah, Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way.... Yeah...

I am finding it hard to even put to words what is on My mind right now. Words fail Me completely. To sum it up, I feel sad and have a heavy heart today.

You know what's on my mind? Thigh gap and pigeon toe.

I've never had a gap between my thighs. I've seen people, have friends, had lovers, who have gaps between their thighs and I never thought anything of it. I figured that's just how they are made. I've gone my whole 34 years and never knew my lack of thigh gapage was a problem until recently. Apparently, I am "supposed" to have a gap between my thighs!! And if Pintrest is any indication, every other woman out there besides myself is doing "thigh gap" exercises. "Get thigh gap with these 3easy steps" "want thigh gap? Try this!!" "Hey, your thighs are fat, do this exercise and get the gap"
Screw that. I'm perfect just the way I am. And if I'm exercising, its to get the health, not the gap.

And another thing, what's with the pigeon toe? Why do girls pose and point their toes inward? I don't get it. I just don't get it. I see it on Facebook, pintrest, instagram, everywhere. Locked knees, toes in, heels out. Does this have something to do with thigh gap??

When did change stop being recognized as money?

I had a H2O jug full of change, it was so heavy, I was unable to move it. I've been spending the change as I go. This morning, I stopped at the service counter of the grocery store I was going to shop at. I attempted to *sell* them some change.

I have a nice little system worked out here. Instead of rolling the coins, I have them in baggies in the denominations of the rolled coins. This way, merchant can see they are coins, and can count them. At the service desk, I was asking them to exchange twenty dollars in quarters, five dollars in dimes and two dollars in nickels. The teenager working the desk had to call somebody to ask if she could do this. WHAT??? The answer was No, change ain't money:seeingstars:

OK, don't shoot the messenger. Who was that you were speaking with? I want to speak to them. So she calls them and tells them I want to talk to them. After a 5 min. wait another teen age looking person shows up, his shirt was all wrinkled and his tie was loose. Not to mention his pants were on his hips and needed to be pulled up. I asked him if he was the manager. He said yeah. I rolled my eyes and didn't even try to hide it. So I tried to explain, I was going to shop in the store AND i WAS GOING TO USE THE COIN CURRENCY, it's easier if I redeem it at the service desk. Thats our policy he said. We don't take change. HA! I laughed in his face, show me where that is written because change is money. I can pay with all pennies if I want to. He just walked away. Piss poor excuse of a manager.

So, I went to the deli counter and had two types of cheeses sliced. Then to the seafood counter and got shrimp and scallops. Not much, but stuff that would be hard to return to stock if they refused my coins at the register. I also got a bottle of contact lense solution and to the check out I went. I got in the line with an older
woman (close to my own age).

When it came to my turn to check out, I told her ahead of time I was paying by coins. She said *OK* with skepticism in her voice.The order came to $23.27. I gave her the two baggies of quarters and the dimes. She began counting them while I told her about what happened at the service desk. She shook her head and said I'm surprised they didn't text you a message, and I just took your change.......................

The moral of the story, there is no service at that service desk. I'm going to write an old fashioned complaint letter to the store manager. Change ain't money. My gosh, can you at least speak properly. UUUGH!

What is on my mind?

That I am over the moon that all I have to do is pack!
I might not be toooo happy about packing when I am
doing it tomorrow afternoon and I end up in sheer pain.
Or that I wont be able to pack all the shoes and handbags
I want to take.

Hairspray
 

Why does LOGO show this knockoff Hairspray? When I look on the menu guide at it's description it says that it's the one with John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, and Nikki Blonsky but it's not. Not at all. I keep falling for it too and I'm getting a little pissy about it now. This is the third time... I'm over it.

[insert mean pouty look that I'm really good at]

Moving and packing suuuuuucks! I'm keeping myself going by thinking about the $700/month I'll be saving on rent, but man this sucks. I just want to throw everything I own in the garbage and be done with it.

I have so many clothes. How am I going to pack all of these clothes? They're going to take up all that's left of my moving boxes. I guess I have to hit up the UPS store tomorrow for giant boxes.

What to get accomplished today

How to fill the remaining spots on my virtual race and maximize the donations going to charity

How long my cat will make it and how to keep her comfortable/how to know when it's time

When will I race again

How do I re-figure out the eating/exercise formula to lose some weight and get back into shape

On my mind...

I'm about to get on a motorcycle. A little nervous.

Wondering if this will be my dad's last Veteran's Day. He's an old retired pilot.

Gotta get in the shower.

Feline pheromones in a jar. Really?

Nothing too exciting on my mind I guess. Just the usual "drunken monkey" as they say in meditation, going from one thing to the next.

if Your in
 

a ambulance remember to turn off the light bars if your going to
get some in the front seat

Well, now I am pondering why an EMT would get down in the front seat when they have an alternative? And then...who knows.
I forget why I came in here...
I have laundry and catch up to do from this past weekend.
I am grateful for a lot. The spring is so pleasant for starters.

What is on my mind?

That I found out this afternoon that the husband and I are going to get a new kitchen, a new bathroom and new windows! I do love living in social housing in london!

And what is also on my mind is, this time tomorrow I will be on a plane, hopefully sitting next to my handsome husband! And hopefully I wont be in a lot of pain for the whole bloody flight.

It is a gorgeous day outside today. Sunshine, rolling puffy white clouds and a breeze to go along with them. The leaves are green and soaked bright light with the chlorophyll neon yellow. The leaves make a wonderful soft noise ...almost like water rushing along a rock laden riverbed. Grateful that the noise polluters have evacuated the area and all I hear is the cooing of the mourning dove and a disturbed black capped chickadee and...smiling.

Oh, and I love London.

I wish...
 

...we were on the beach in Destin, Florida, right now, for a week.

In my mind shy is not knowing your work and being not so confident..
In my mind it means missing out on a lot of things you might have enjoyed because you couldn't ask for what you wanted..

Yet, on the rare occasion that I turn shy and blushfull, my partner really likes it...

I often wonder why that is.....

My doctor appointment on June 6th it has been a long time coming and still to far away.
