Well, again I am feeling like a chicken with its head cut off. I am having special company over on Friday that could alter the course of my life - and that is in no way being overstated. So I am finishing painting the kitchen - its a cool lime wash with sepia and maize, decorating the house for Christmas, working 35-40 hours a week, trying to take care of the house, trying to paint and prepare an upstairs bedroom, trying to clean, and trying to stay sane. There are a lot of "tryings" in there. Plus, I am window painting local businesses for the holidays and trying to get more involved in a church group and trying to take a college class. Anything that keeps me busy...I geuss that way I know I'm still alive. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

This Week's Word:

Although cling peach, static cling and Kingon (Star Trek) frist came to mind. I started to think of when my son was a toddler and would cling onto my pant leg, then I thought of how, at least back then, he was such a mamma's boy.
 
We would do everything together. It was a magical time...until he found out I was a girl and girls are definately NOT cool. Then, with my warped sense of humor I thought of all those poor girlfrieds whose boyfrieds were still their mamma's boy...voila a magazine exclusively for them!

Illustration Friday Entry #2 - The Knighting

What's more regal than canned lima beans is below.
This is my second entry. It shows my feline, Crystal, knighting our neighborhod stray, Bob, while the other stray, Orangie, look on. Crystal is ALWAYS regal - even when she falls... (it was on purpose, of course, she was just practising how to)

Human Limitations
Re: the last post. People are only human and have all the defects that implies; however, our own thinking magnifies and illuminates these imperfections, sometimes morphing them into imagined slights and disappointments. People don't always intend to hurt. At times actions cause pain without that intent. At times people intend to cause malice, but it does not. It is all how we perceive the world.
