Hello, My name is Miranda, an easy going person in her 50's who can entertain herself. I am a part-time shift worker (so you will get the house to yourself on some evenings and weekends). I am a homebody and spend most of her time on the computer in the front room and my evenings out dancing, occassionaly staying in and watching Netflix on TV. I like to watch recorded TV shows (like House Rules, The Block, MKR, Master Chef, RPA, Outback ER), QI and comedies. I enjoy going to the movies, country town theatre shows, and going out to dinner. I might occasionally have one glass of wine with a pasta dish or sip on a liqueur while watching TV but I am not comfortable with drinking with regularity or over-indulgence, I tend to be a tea-totaller. I dont smoke but you can (outside). No illicit drug use, illegal activities or relationship dramas and we'll get on just fine. I share the property with one small dog (Kobi) who thinks he owns the joint. This is a quiet, comfortable home-away-from-home (it is not a party house). If this sounds like an environment you would be interested in, send me a message.
Chilled out… respectful of everyone's personal space. Great external living area for entertaining. Furniture has changed from those shown in the photos.

Researchers investigated whether specialist nurse intervention reduced morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure. A randomised controlled trial study design was used. The intervention consisted of specialist nurse home visits in addition to routine care. The aim of the intervention was to educate patients about heart failure and its treatment. The control treatment consisted of routine care alone, with patients managed as usual by the admitting physician and, subsequently, general practitioner. Participants were 165 patients admitted to an acute medical admissions unit with heart failure as a result of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The intervention started before discharge and continued for up to one year.1
The primary endpoint was a composite of death from all causes or first readmission to hospital with worsening heart failure. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves for the length of time after randomisation until occurrence of the primary endpoint were presented for the intervention and control treatment groups (figure⇓). There was a significant difference in survival times between the treatment groups (log rank test P=0.033). The Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimates at 12 months were about 0.59 for intervention and 0.43 for control.
The researchers concluded that specially trained nurses can improve the morbidity and mortality of patients admitted to hospital with chronic heart failure.
Which of the following statements, if any, can be inferred?
a) About 43% of the control group had not experienced the primary endpoint …

Gabriel Cancel had three hits and Meibrys Viloria drove in three runs as the Lexington Legends took a
6-4 win over the Augusta GreenJackets Tuesday in Augusta.
The Legends took the lead with two runs in the top of the first inning. With one out, singles by Angelo Castellano and Kort Peterson put runners at first and second. Castellano went to third after Emmanuel Rivera lined out to center field. Cancel's single scored one run, and Peterson later came home on a wild pitch.
Augusta got one run back in the bottom of the first on singles by Sandro Fabian and Kelvin Beltre and a double by Skyler Ewing.
Peterson started the third inning with a double. He went to third on a single by Cancel and scored on a bunt single by Viloria, giving the Legends a 3-1 lead.
After each team scored a run in the fourth, the Legends added two in the fifth for a 6-2 margin. Peterson was hit by a pitch, and was replaced by Amalani Fukofuka. Rivera lined out, but Cancel singled, moving Fukofuka to second base. A double steal put runners at second and third, and Viloria's double to right field scored two runs.
Augusta countered with two runs in the bottom of the sixth, the first coming on Frandy De La Rosa's fourth home run of the season, but neither team scored again.
Lexington starter Travis Eckert (1-2) was the winning pitcher. He worked five and two-thirds innings and allowed nine hits and four runs. Walker Sheller gave up three hits and no runs in two and one-third innings of relief, and Grant Gavin pitched a scoreless ninth for his third save.
Augusta starter D.J. Myers (1-4) took the loss.
The Legends won three out of four in the series. After an off day, they will open a four-game series in Rome Thursday night. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.

World Communion Sunday! We were all set, our plans were made and everyone was ready to do their part. The five elders were each bringing a different kind of bread and the choir had been practicing a medley of communion songs. We were doing the Words of Institution responsively, using a format I was given by Pastor Tom Smith at Garden City Christian Church in Indianapolis and all those words would be part of the PowerPoint presentation. Everything was coming together.
I suppose I should have realized that a plan never survives the beginning of worship. My first clue that there might be a glitch or two was when one elder forgot to bring his bread. Then the choir director was caught in bad freeway traffic. I forgot to bring out the projector so the person doing the PowerPoint had to rush putting the equipment together and then we realized I had changed a hymn and forgotten to tell her. Another elder was late and brought her bread to the table during our first hymn.
We spent Children's time looking at the communion table and talking about what this meal means. We looked at the different kinds of bread on the table and I talked about a friend's church where they were sharing 9 kinds of bread from around the world. Our almost 8-year-old candidate for baptism asked if she could help give out the bread today so I asked the congregation what they thought. They all said yes. So when it came time for communion I brought Abigail forward to help.
Standing at the table during the Elder's prayer over the elements I suddenly realized no one had remembered to put out the bread plates. The bread was in a basket, but there were no plates for distribution. Time for a quick announcement: "Today Abigail will come to each one of you carrying the basket full of different breads and our deacons will follow her with the cups."
I don't remember the last time everyone paid such close attention to the service of the elements. The entire congregation watched as Abigail walked from person to person. She stood erect, face glowing as she proudly offered the basket so each one could select the kind of bread they wanted.
Every time there is Sunday like that, when things going "wrong" seem to multiply out of control, at the end of the service there is always blessing. This is one World Communion Sunday we will remember for years to come because of blessing we received from Abigail as she served the feast of love.

So far, it has rained every day this month. We will probably see more rain at some point today.
The weather the past three days.
Being a pluviophile, (a lover of rain for those who don't know) I normally enjoy a good rainy day. Lately, I feel like I've seen enough rain to last a few months. The city where I live has seen flash floods several times within the past two weeks. It will rain heavily, flood the downtown area and leave people stranded, trying to get home for hours, and then the rain will stop and the sun will dry everything up. *shrugs* Once was bad enough. Twice, it's getting old. Three times? We'll see. I'm just glad that my husband and I live on higher ground. We also live in an area where there are several roads we can take to keep us from the flooded areas. I would post pics of the flood, but I'm actually on my laptop, and the pics are on my Kindle, and it's easier to blog from my laptop.
September is usually one of my favourite months, because it's the precursor to Fall. I honestly believe that I suffer from Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. I get depressed and have very little energy, motivation, and drive during the warmer months. The hotter it gets, the less motivated and the more depressed I become, so in September, I start feeling hopeful and energetic again. I can feel myself becoming rejuvenated. September makes me feel like I am waking up and coming out of hibernation, or like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon and spreading its wings for the first time.
This is an F. Scott Fitzgerald quote from The Great Gatsby.
I really can't wait!
I love EVERYTHING about Fall. The colourful leaves, the clear robin's egg blue skies, the warm days, the cold nights, and of course the Fall fashions. I especially love that Fall happens at the end of September, which makes it my second favourite month. October is my favourite month ever.
I'm so not a Summer girl. I'm not comfortable in skimpy clothing or swimwear. I'd take a comfy pair of jeans and a long sleeved tee over shorts and a tee shirt any day. The insects die. The pollinating allergy inducing plants die. The humidity dies. The heat dies. All of the bad things temporarily die, the same way I do during the warm months. (Apparently I thrive when surrounded by death. I'm not sure what that says about me.)
Unfortunately, my second favourite month this year is looking more stressful than fun, because for once in my life, September will be as busy as October normally is for me.
How I feel three days into the month...
I'm still battling insomnia, which isn't fun. When I do sleep, I don't get that wonderful, uninterrupted REM sleep. I feel like I'm running on empty right now.
How I feel every single day...
There are many things that I'm fairly sure contribute to my insomnia.
There's the fact that I am a writer, and inspiration doesn't have a schedule, so I could be drifting off to sleep, and an idea hits me like an Acme anvil in the Road Runner cartoons, and I HAVE TO GET UP and write it down. Sometimes, I end up working, and then I see 5:00 AM on the clock and wonder where the time went. That's just how it is when I'm working. It really doesn't seem like I work thirteen hours per day, but because I enjoy my work, time goes by rather quickly.
There's the fact that I do have a chronic illness which can cause pain or many other symptoms that would interrupt sleep. I can't get comfortable due to pain, or I wake up in pain and have to change positions and it may take me a while to get back to sleep. Thankfully, it has been a long time since pain has kept me up, save for my recent migraine.
I do have an anxiety disorder, several actually. I have OCD, GAD, social anxiety and panic disorder (sort of). OCD is the worst of it. I will climb into bed and realize that my shoes are not properly put away, or that the cats might need food/water, or whatever reason my brain gets locked onto, and I have to go check these things. Panic disorder used to be my biggest problem. I'm so thankful that panic attacks are rare for me these days. They have to be triggered by something. which means there's a reason, Before, I would have panic attacks for absolutely no reason.
I'm releasing a book on October 31st. I think this is the biggest reason for my insomnia. I'm a nervous wreck. It's my first book. It's not my first published work though. I wrote articles for a national church newsletter very briefly. It was called The Cardinal. It has nothing to do with the Catholic church though. When people found out that I wrote for The Cardinal, they automatically assumed that I was Catholic. *shrugs*
My dream is right there within reach. I'm afraid I'm going to fail miserably, and that everyone is going to do the "I Told You So" dance. I have written forty-one books, and the series is bloody good, and if I had a title for any of the forty books in the series, I would release one of them first. Dormiveglia is the one that I am releasing first for a myriad of reasons:
- It's a collection of short stories that showcase my work.
- It's to get my name out there.
- It will hopefully make a little money to devote to the series, hiring professionals, etc.
- It's dedicated to my friend, Aimee Long.
- It's time to put something out there, just like Aimee said the last time I saw her.
I feel like I may have a nervy b before this is over with. I have less than two months to finalize the book, add the finishing touches, edit, re-edit, re-edit some more, obsessively edit for the final ten times, and put it out there. I need to get a cover done for the book so I can create a website. (I'm a writer, not an artist.) I want to have at least one book signing prior to its release. That's the other problem. *sighs* I know that I mentioned this before, but September is going to be as busy as October normally is for me.
That's all I want to do this month...
This weekend...I have no idea how I'm going to make it through. Tomorrow, I have an appointment and then there's a conference at church that begins tomorrow evening. Doug will probably have to work the screens for seven of the eight services, but I don't mind being up there during the conference. It keeps us away from the multitude in the sanctuary. We have one guy who is great about helping out when he can. His job hours are sporadic, where as Doug's hours are set, so Doug can almost always run the evening services on weekdays as needed. So it's basically two people. At the family reunion day at church last Sunday, tables were set up to recruit more help in the media department with the screens and lighting. I'm really hoping we have garnered some serious attention by those who signed up. I need to compose an advertisement to run on the screens, but alas, I'm too busy. (I would say that I burn the candle at both ends, but I honestly feel more like a three wick candle most of the time.)
I have to keep the car tomorrow for my appointment in the morning and on Friday to take my mnl to the first morning service of the conference. If she didn't want to go, I would probably skip Friday morning so I could have extra time to work on finalizing Dormiveglia. I forced myself to wake up at ten-thirty this morning clinging to fragile hope that I will be clapped out enough to sleep for more than four hours tonight. I'd kill for five hours. Six hours would be divine.
So yeah, I'm exhausted and I'm freaking out.
I'm freaking out a lot...
I keep reminding myself of what Charles Bukowski said:
Because Bukowski says that intelligent people are full of doubts and stupid people are filled with confidence, I must be intelligent. As much doubt as I'm experiencing, I must be super intelligent.
Next month is my Christmas time. I love Fall. I live for that season alone. I can't wait for everything that October has to offer.
Unfortunately, I will barely have time to catch my breath in October.
October is normally busy for me and Doug. We go to two major Fall festivals, mostly pertaining to pumpkins. Then, there's Judgement House, which requires a huge amount of time. There are practices, set building, costumes, fine tuning, room directors having freak outs and meltdowns, and finally dress rehearsal. On the first night, there's usually drama. I won't get into the gory details, but I will say that we just can't seem to have Judgement House without the drama. That's just how it works. One or more people make a big scene and it has to be dealt with by security and/or authority. But again, that's how it works, and Judgement House goes on, and everything works out, and at the end of the week, you're exhausted and half out of it, but if you remember your name, you're still doing better than the ones who only answer to their character names. After playing a character for so long, you start to believe you're that person. (I've played an angel for the last seven years, but I still know for a fact that I'm no angel. *lol*)
This month...oh as if I need more reason to freak out...this month will be busy enough for TWO Octobers.
There is no maybe. I need time.
If only I could add more hours to the day and more days to the week...
I really don't know how I'm going to make it through October. Not only do we have the Fall festivals, which I live for all year long, and Judgement House, I'm releasing a book, and my mother is coming to visit. Please don't get me wrong, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE MY MOTHER! I only see her once every few years. This year, I was privy to see her in July, but I still can't wait to see her again. She lives nine hours away, nine hours. That's too many for me!
Doug and I are talking about moving closer to her in the near future. There's nothing for us here in this wasteland of a state. We would move closer to my brother and sister-in-law, but his job requires relocation, so we probably wouldn't live close to him for very long before he would have to move again. I live too far away from my family. Doug has had the privilege of having his family close by. They all live fifteen minutes away from our house, one aunt in one direction, and an aunt, an uncle, and his mother in the opposite direction.
So back to my mother's visit. My only problem with it is that October is ridiculously busy, but I'm taking full advantage of seeing her. Seeing her is one my top priorities in October, so I have rearranged my schedule. I'm missing book club this month. Doug and I are still going on our trip, but we're cutting some extras out this year. We will be going to the festival only on this trip, instead of gallivanting around the city and hitting the extremely huge, not so enclosed retail shopping compound. We may still go out to dinner at our usual favourite restaurant that does not exist in our city. I don't get people who go out of town and eat at the same restaurants they have at home. I like to try new things to an extent. I admit that I do not mess around with coffee, but if there were other coffee vendors besides Starbucks, I'm willing to try them. (Starbucks has killed all of the other coffee businesses in this area, and probably elsewhere as well.)
Somewhere in the middle of this chaos, I must find time for a book signing. My Saturdays are completely booked, except for the eleventh, so I'm hoping to be able to have a book signing on that Saturday. I'm not sure where. I'm not sure what time. I'm not sure who to call. I'm freaking out!
As for Judgement House, I do want to be a part of it. It's very important to me and to my husband. We may have to skip some practices. This is expected for the most part, as we usually miss one practice in order to take a day trip out of town to the second festival. I may be missing many more practices due to working and my mother's visit. I'm seriously considering going in as an alternate for JH instead of doing the full week. I'm also hoping to have the energy to do anything during JH week.
October 31st, Dormiveglia goes on Amazon. I hope I haven't had a nervy b by then.
Happy Belated Labor Day, by the way, to those who celebrate it.
My Labor Day wasn't extremely exciting. I slept way too late. I did get to see Crystal. She came to town very briefly, so on Labor Day, we met for coffee and talked. I went back to her brother's house to visit with them for about an hour, then I headed home to eat the best hot dogs in the world, because my husband makes them. He grills kosher dogs just for me so I can eat them. (Hot dogs are a huge migraine trigger, so I can only eat the kosher ones.) We sat out on the porch for a little while, and then went inside to watch shows on hulu plus. That's really all we did.
My mother's birthday was August 31st, so here are my favourite pics of me and her. I shared these pics of us on her birthday on the social networking sites that I frequent.
I have some recent pics, but I haven't downloaded them to my lappy yet.
There's nothing else to share. I whinged about how busy I'll be. I gushed about how I can't wait for Fall. I freaked out about publishing my book of short stories. Check, check, and check.
I should get back to work.
True story!
The last picture made me laugh until I cried, so I had to share it. It's true, and that's what makes it funny. I do want to note that I'm not a huge fan of Twilight, but I know enough about it to know why the scene used in this picture is funny. (On Vampires Suck, which I absolutely loved, they did this scene, and when he says, "Say it. Out loud. Say it," she responds with, "You're a Jonas Brother.")
I hope you're less stressed and less exhausted than I am. I must get back to work, although taking the day off and just breathing sounds like a better idea. I'm stressing so much that I may have forced myself to get up early for nothing, because I doubt I'm going to sleep any better tonight...although I did sleep last night. I don't remember seeing anything after three o'clock.
So, until next time, I'll be doing this:
I hope my husband believes this for the next two months:

Some time ago I became a member of Bookmooch. So far I swapped all my books on a German swap site called Tauschticket and was happy with it. I was able to find lots of English books there, sooner or later most of the books on my wishlist turned up. They changed their terms and conditions recently and since then the books on offer have decreased a bit, so I thought I'd have a look what else is out there.
Bookmooch seemed a good choice since most of the books on offer are in English. I put five books up there, all available for international destinations, and, wow, all five books were requested within a couple of days. I was pleased, even though the postage money was quite a bit.
However, now my spirit has been dampened considerably. Really, NONE of the books I am interested in are available at all, let alone for international shipping (and I am NOT looking for possibly offensive or out of the ordinary books).
I know that Judith has found at least one book there (possibly more) that was shipped to her country, the Netherlands, but how successful in "mooching" books are Europeans in general? I am wondering whether Bookmooch is worth the trouble at all.

This little guy is actually the second incarnation of a project I did for my Elements of Art II class (which is a conceptual-experimental / color theory class) I unfortunately forgot to document the first version, but I assure you, this one's a lot better anyway. It's about 6 inches tall and weighs about two or three pounds... (the brain in the back is solid clay).
The original assignment for this was to create a piece that used an entire oil stick in it and conceptually focused on the color of the oil stick. Mine was the sort of turquoise-y color that you can see around the outside of the box, which I associated with two things - nostalgia (it is a sort of retro-y color) and religion (also a sort of virgin-mary blue). So the whole thing was supposed to be a sort of shrine to memory with the oil stick crushed up in the back and trying to look like a brain. I used my awesome photoshop skills to recreate the original so you too can enjoy its charm and beauty.
The second part of the project was then to take another week and expand on the piece (this time, the oil stick did not have to be included if we didn't want to), and I decided to essentially make the brain actually look like a brain (which is funny, because it looks like intestines instead) and add detail, which I think did improve the piece a great deal.

I played it cool, though, like it was no big thing, and after a brief conversation, I jumped in the pool.
Was it my I imagination or did her fingers fly to her iPhone the minute I turned away? A few minutes later, the birthday girl sat down next to her. They whispered for a minute, then our cheeky neighbor called out to me. "Hey, Ms..." she paused because that's not what she calls me.
"Tracey?" I suggested.
"Nuha and Esinam say, 'Hi!'," she finished, naming two other girls who were not present.
""Tell them I hope they're having a good summer," I said, and I flashed a big smile and waved before I swam off to play with the girls, because I'm pretty sure there were pictures, if not video, to go with that text.

The group blog of twelve quiltmakers and textile artists scattered around the world in 7 countries and across four continents. Our aim is to create a small quilt every three months.
The theme is chosen by the members in turn.
Our website: www.12bythedozen.weebly.com
I had an idea, but have just checked the previous colours chosen and I think that mine is too close to one of them. I will have to think of another and will post tomorrow.Jinnie

Today we have been doing spotty dotty printing because it is Children in Need this Friday.
We started with a large white circle (a big spot!).
We selected paint colours in keeping with the Pudsey Bear theme: blue, green, red, yellow and pink.
We used all sorts of things for printing: Carrot pieces, potato pieces, sponges, cotton reels, and bottle lids. You really can use anything that is round, get the kids to help you find things!
You could start with teddy bear shapes instead of circles, you could print onto fabric with fabric paints to make your own Pudsey scarf.
I hope if you're in the UK you're showing your support. Alexandra's school is doing a take a bear to school day, wear spots to school day (like last year) and pennies for Pudsey, and we shall be watching all the antics on Friday night. Are you doing any fund raising? I'd love to hear about it if you are.

Speak The Truth Even If Your Voice Shakes: being a domestic abuse/sexual assult survivor
Thursday, May 29, 2014
Read this article in The Huffington Post. Sixty colleges are being investigated for sexual assault polices, and the number is growing. It in fact grew by five colleges in the last month. That's scary, but that means this is a real problem that is starting to be addressed. I hope Northern Michigan makes its way up there. I really hope.

Kelly Roland To Perform In Nigeria At Darey's Love Like A Movie
The popular Grammy Award winning artiste and former member of the best selling female R N' B group of all time, Destiny's Child, will electrify the stage accompanied by her world famous dancers.
The fashionable songstress, recognized by UK magazine, Glamour, in 2012, as one of the best-dressed women in the world will also be hosting the red carpet/fashion police with Darey and analyzing the style and fashion that will grace the red carpet in this year's edition of LLAM.
LLAM 2, an exciting fusing of world-class music and breathtaking theatrics promises to surpass the incredible excitement provided in Season 1 with an amazing line up of artistes and performances.
Speaking on why Miss Rowland was selected, Darey Art Alade says " Kelly is a great performer and we're delighted to have her on board LLAM Season 2: The Love Roller Coaster! She's an extremely talented artiste, beautiful, sexy, very friendly and humane. She will undoubtedly enjoy her stay in Nigeria and I'm also hoping she will try some pounded yam and efo riro before she leaves!"
"I'm so excited to be a part of this innovative concert! And I'm really looking forward to coming to Nigeria too. I hear LLAM Season 1 was simply magical and I really can't wait to get on stage and give a great show."
"There'll be a little bit of everything and much more at this year's edition of Love like A Movie -music, excitement, amazing acrobatics and lots of jaw dropping surprises. This open air event will host aerial artistes flying from cranes and other spectacular displays not forgetting the suspense that promises to hold our guests spellbound right from the first note," Darey assures.
Other artistes to perform at the second edition of LLAM include D'banj, Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay, Mo 'Eazy, Zaina, Timi Dakolo, Waje, Muna, JJC, Eva and others.
Special guest and international reality show megastar Kim Kardashian co-hosted the red carpet with Darey last year.

We have had this one solved for a long while, but apparently never updated the coords. So Tim, who loves Abbot and Costello, solved it off of the top of his head. Very shortly thereafter we had the green light on where to go. Made it to where we should have been, and looked for roughly 15 minutes, without a find. We will be back another day (preferable one that's warmer) to find this one again.

Although the title I have given this photograph and the lack of color can give this place a negative tint, I actually think that this covered walkway which runs underneath the skytrain line above Rama I Road is actually one of the best things to happen to central Bangkok in recent years. I'm sure the fact that it is shaded, lacks motorbikes and is high enough to get away from the worst of the traffic pollution has encouraged more people to walk at least a short distance. It's not very long but there is another section further along and hopefully there will be more at some stage. I suppose the fact that there is an air-conditioned shopping mall every hundred metres or so helps.

Last Tuesday, the wife and kids went to the Bronx zoo with friends from church. Kids are so funny, just like small adults, really. The kids wanted to finish watching Curious George before we left, even though we were trying to tell them they were going to the Zoo (we didn't let them). They knew they were going to the Zoo but were too into "Monkey George," as Eva calls him.
Then, as I drove them up to H's house, Sam was talking about playing with his train table. H has a cool playroom. Even though the Zoo (Bronx Zoo, mind you) was the big, exciting plan for the day, all Sam could think of was playing at H's house.
You and I are like that. God promises us so much in the end (a lot now, too) but we get exciting about the little things. And little things that even impede or crowd out what's most important. We focus on weak, short-term pleasure when God wants us to enjoy so much more.
One of my favorite quotes by C.S. Lewis is also quoted often by John Piper as he teaches on Christian Hedonism:
"…if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. (C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses [Grand Rapids: Eerdmans,1965], pp. 1-2.)

We wanted to make sure we went to the beach while we were here in Texas! Savannah and Tammy Lee had never been and I wanted them to experience it. It was about an hour and a half drive and it was well worth it.
I loved watching them explore, play in the sand, and jump in the waves. Savannah picked up tons and tons of seashells and was so proud of her finds.
Tammy Lee loved letting the water crash on her toes and was intrigued with all the seaweed.
It was a beautiful day and we are SO happy we went!

so what if i decided to change my business name. i couldn't stand it any more. it didn't 'feel' right. now i feel like the new name has given me a fresh start. i can showcase more artistic photos and they will be more accepted. for some reason, my 'old' name had its own identity with photos and they were very traditional. boring...so not me. but being in a small community, that's what people expect and like...traditional...because it is what is accepted. it's not a knock to my community at all, because i love it...but i am hoping to bring some new and fresh ideas to my photography approach.
so what if we took our monkeys to daycare on my hubby's day off. we have big plans of cleaning and 'getting stuff done' as my hubby says. it's nearly impossible to accomplish any task with them home. they want to help and let's be honest, they aren't really much help. also, a little quiet alone time is nice once in a while. we had many years together without kids and once in a while, we like to be alone...and not just for an evening date. besides, it's dreary out and our monkeys would go bonkers with boredom here at home, so they are having a blast with their friends at daycare today. there i justified it. so what.
so what if i'm going to be the mom that has a huge board of photos at my monkey's high school graduations. and so what if most of the photos are going to be as embarrassing as possible. and so what if my daughter just turned 3 and my son is only starting his first year of school (pre K). i can plan ahead for things that bring me joy...such as embarrassing my kids. ;o)

Cute!!!! I'd totally take mine to daycare too!

Huge rallies planned in Iran
Thu., June 18, 2009
Government expels foreign reporters
TEHRAN, Iran – Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators flooded Tehran Wednesday in the fifth day of protests to demand the annulment of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election, and more nationwide protests appeared to be in store.
Defying a government ban on the demonstrations, Ahmadinejad's main election rival, Mir Hossein Mousavi, called for massive rallies around the country today to mourn the dead in previous days' protests, which a leading Iranian human rights group said numbered 32.
The government continued its crackdown on the opposition, reportedly arresting leading journalists and politicians. It expelled foreign reporters on temporary visas, ordered Tehran-based reporters to stay in their offices and threatened legal action against Iranians who've been filling the information void by e-mailing videos, news reports and pictures abroad.
The regime accused the U.S. of meddling in the crisis by making "interventionist" statements, which the Obama administration promptly denied.
More turmoil appeared likely. Mousavi, who claims he was cheated out of victory by massive vote rigging, urged his supporters to wear black to mourn the results and the dead. In a statement on his Web site, he singled out the eight who were shot dead Monday by members of the Basij, a hard-line volunteer militia that's loyal to Ahmadinejad.
His call for a new protest was in defiance of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who earlier in the week told Mousavi to pursue his election fraud complaint "legally and peacefully" through an investigation by the unelected 12-member Guardian Council.
The election outcome and the subsequent protests have exposed the fiercest power struggle in Iran's highly complex political system since the clergy gained power in the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ousted the late Shah Reza Pahlavi.
"This is the first time (since 1979) that one part of the political establishment is arrayed against another part of the political establishment," said Muhammad Sahimi, a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Southern California and a commentator on Iranian politics.
Deeply conservative clerics who maintain close ties to top bureaucrats and intelligence and security officials who began as foot soldiers of the revolution are seen as lining up behind Ahmadinejad, but their more moderate rivals led by older leaders of the revolution, such as former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, are backing Mousavi.
The longer the power struggle goes on, the greater the chaos in the streets could grow, confounding any predictions as to the eventual outcome, said Trita Parsi, the head of the National Iranian American Council, an advocacy group in Washington.
"A couple of days ago, all this was inconceivable," Parsi said.

So here's what I've been wearing in the month of August:
I start with my Bare Minerals Correcting Concealer and use this under my eyes and on any blemishes. I absolutely swear by this stuff. The consistency is creamy and it covers beautifully. As someone who has struggled on and off with acne, this is by far the best covering concealer I've ever found.
I follow up with just a little bit of my Bare Minerals Finishing Powder. I apply the smallest amount of this just over where I put the concealer, to help it last.
Then I apply my all time favorite, the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, all over my face.
Sometimes I do wear blush or bronzer, but it depends. I always like to add my Victorias Secret highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones.
For eyeshadow I've been loving the new Maybelline "the nudes" palette. It has twelve different shades that are all neutral and vary in shimmers or matte finish. I'll usually use some sort of taupe or light brown all over my lids and then a deeper color like a dark brown in the outer corner. I always finish with a little sweep of shimmery white in the inner corners to highlight my eyes. Lastly I take my tiny eyeliner brush and use the matte black shade to line my top lashline. (I don't line the bottom lashline though).
For mascara I use the Maybelline Mega Plush mascara. I don't use the waterproof formula, however I've found that this mascara stays on really well.
I have a lipstick obsession and as a result I'm always wearing different lip products. I wear the plain Maybelline Babylips a lot to keep my lips moisturized. Some of my other favorites for this month have the been the Revlon lipbutters in Peach Parfait and Raspberry Pie, as well as the Covergirl lipgloss in Give Me Guava.
If you're interested in seeing more makeup product review or tutorials let me know! I'm thinking of doing a makeup, hair, and outfit style steal for Taylor Swifts new music video, "Shake It Off". Thoughts?

Christmas cards are starting to arrive more and more each day and I love it. I love saving old cards to see how people and families grow and change from year to year. Christmas cards saved from loved ones no longer with us are some of my most prized possessions.
With the decline in the economy and many cheap alternatives available to printed cards, it somehow makes holding a treasured card from a loved one that much more special.
There's an old Christmas card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet memories dear to me.
Though it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree.
I thrill with every word, every line
I guess I'm always sentimental around this time.
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory of an old Christmas card.

About that Pervert Magician
I got quite a lot of emails suggesting magician Shane Wright to be a Weekly Magic Failure, for having had sex with a twelve-year-old girl. HERE IS THE STORY. I will not do so.
He is not a magic failure... but a human failure. There is a line I need to draw somewhere.
complaints go to Roland Henning

Yes, this goes beyond... However, there is an issue over using one's profession, be it magic or medicine, for example, to exploit people sexually. Taking the example of a doctor in a similar situation, they are not only failing as humans, but also as doctors. Professional ethics should count for something.
On the other hand, this is child abuse, so the magic aspect does, rightly, go out of the window.
What an awful story.

GrowTO Urban Agriculture Action Plan, Toronto
Urban Food Policy Snapshot
By Cameron St. Germain
New York City Food Policy Centre
May 9, 2017
Progress to date
Numerous urban agriculture projects have popped up in Toronto since the GrowTO action plan was adopted. They are located in empty lots, on rooftops, in schoolyards, and on residents' personal property.
Entrepreneurs and community organizers have looked to urban farming opportunities as a means of supporting economic development, the creation of small businesses, and to build up and enhance communities. Many farmers are now exploring ways to grow indoors or in shipping containers using hydroponics, or other systems, in addition to the many programs and businesses growing outside and in public spaces.

A day at Rimrock Lake not too long ago was a wonderful chance to rest together as a family in the middle of the busy summer schedule. I love our trips there because in the middle of the week it is pretty quiet there and our girls can wander along the shoreline gathering sticks and rocks and splashing in the water and getting as dirty as they want. I alternate between laying on the blanket knitting and reading, traipsing along with them, and jumping in the lake to cool off. Many of these pictures were taken by Lyddie and Millie - they begged to have a chance to use my camera and I was a little surprised at how many of their pictures were really lovely.
The sequence of pictures with Rosie and I made me laugh; her expressions are so funny. She's my challenge right now (I think age three is much harder than two in spite of the term "terrible twos"): asserting her independence but not able to do all the things she wants to, trying out new fun thing like lying to avoid getting in trouble, and frequently whining and fussing to get what she wants. I remember this stage with the other girls and having been through it now twice before I can confidently say "this is normal - unpleasant but normal" and with consistent interactions and discipline, it will pass and I'll get back my sunshine girl again, I expect. Whew, I'm tired by the end of the day.

Wear Your Rare
We are a dedicated group of cystinosis families who have teamed together to create 'Wear your Rare' a challenge to all of our friends, neighbors, coworkers and families to wear something extremely rare (the funnier the better) and go outside for 17 minutes. During those 17 minutes snap a picture and post it to our Facebook Page. We are asking all who do participate to donate $17 to the Cystinosis Research Foundation to help fund research for this rare disease and please challenge 17 of your friends to do the same. Why 17 of everything? Cystinosis is linked to a mutation or deletion of chromosome 17, many of the patients must take a variety of at least 17 different medications, pills, and creams to maintain health. Also cystinosis patients must take an eye drop every hour they are awake which often equals 17 doses a day! Thank you for your participation in helping us find better ways to treat cystinosis and ultimately find a cure.
Thank you,
Nicole Manz, Jennifer Bartkowski, Clinton Moore and our children, Keegan, Ethan and Chandler

However, the real deal right here are the small Kwon-Goblin and overly tall Woo Euntak though!

History Trivia
On October 29 1618 English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh was executed for treason under a sentence passed 15 years earlier. He was a known writer, poet, soldier, courtier,spy and explorer who was also largely known for popularising tobacco in England. He fell out of favor with Queen Elizabeth I when his secret marriage to Elizabeth "Bess" Throckmorton was discovered. Because they were wed without the Queen's permission, they were imprisoned in the Tower of London. After being released, they retired to his estate at Sherborne, Dorset.

The project GiglioCooking was born because of the passion and the love for a rich and complex land like Italy, which I feel to belong to, with respect and gratitude. I was born on an island and I have learnt the secrets of the restaurant industry since a child, as a helper in the family restaurant and then running one of my own. Just the passion can support the work of a woman entrepreneur in a marvelous, but difficult country like this one. The dedication to the quality of the food and to the Mediterranean culture is the other push, because when we talk about food we do not mean only to feed the body, but the senses, the Soul, the Spirit and intellect as well, besides the sense of familiarity of the people around a table.
From here, the idea to open in Florence a school that would correspond to me, reflecting my personality and my intentions. It has been a difficult and strengthening journey, made in loneliness as I was not disposed to renounce quality for quantity. Also for this it has not been easy to bear the economic commitments and to find collaborators who could be integral part of the school.
Finally, after years of research and selection, I am ready to present a group of "journey companions" I chose not just for their competences, but also for their experience and professional capability conquered "on the field", in the practice of life and, overall, for their human qualities. I consider these qualities the real mean of communication and sharing of the richness that gather people, anywhere on the planet, around a lavish table, symbol of feeding and brotherhood.
The Little School is growing: my thanks to Isabella, Giovanni, Annalisa, Antonella, with the wish that ours would be - even if minimum - a contribution to raising of economy and to the personal and social evolution.

So if you know me you know I LOVE Kanye West. I feel he says/does the things I would do if I had balls. He literally is calling folk like me out...while I'm not your favorite underground rap or music artist, I am someone who is not expressing myself creatively which is a waste of my gifts. I'm no longer willing to do that. I'm ready to live full out regardless of how it is received. Check out Kanye's speech to Rolling Stone writers re:his new album. Turn it up around the 1:08 mark.

text: Most of us use hot tools or at least a blow dryer on our hair everyday, and over time, the heat from them will damage your hair and create dull strands with a lot of dead ends. That's why it's so important to not only use hair products to achieve the look you want, but also for your hair's health. Using a thermal protective product will shield your hair from the damage that comes along with using hot tools. My product of the month is the MELLOW THERMAL PROTECTING SHIELD by Davines (pronounced "daw-vin-ess") because its light formula will leave your hair protected, but you won't notice the product at all. It also is a highly concentrated product, so a little goes a long way and even though it's a little pricey, it will last a long time. You can spray it on damp or dry hair before you blowdry, flat iron, or curl. This specific thermal spray is sold at Salon Bellissima and I highly recommend it!

French Protest strikes & The God-Awful News Coverage of it
The situation in France, where the people are protesting having their retirement pensions extended by two years, fascinates me very much. Not only because it is deeply refreshing to see a people fight to protect their rights rather than taking things with a stiff upper lip or with casual indifference. I'm also fascinated by how intentionally poor a job mainstream news does in covering the strikes in an accurate and objective light.
This morning AP wrote an article entitled "France: Strikes costing up to $560 Million Per Day". It mentions the expense to France after two weeks of strikes and protests to this point. The article mentions things like trash collecting in the streets and the notion that France is a laughingstock or oddity to the rest of the world. This of course is meant to conjure up pictures in the mind of radicals and fringe elements, which are meant to discourage others from considering strikes and open protest as reasonable remedies.
Yet buried at the very bottom of the article is this nugget of truth- "The demonstrations against the retirement reform have brought millions into the streets, and polls have shown that a vast majority of French people support the strikers. Meanwhile, the conservative Sarkozy's popularity is plummeting."
AP's story is 10 paragraphs- it waits until the very end to begrudgingly admit that the French people overwhelmingly Support the current strikes. Even though its affecting transportation, garbage pick up, schools, mail delivery and pretty much every other aspect of normal everyday life for two full weeks-- The French people Support the striking unions because they understand what is at stake. They fought long and hard to have retirement at 60. They understand that if they lose and the age becomes 62, it can easily become 65 or 70 or 75. They also understand all other economic and social safety nets can be taken from them. They will not surrender without a fight; a public pronouncement of their anger and betrayal by their government.
When austerity comes to America.. and it will.. and the retirement age is moved up to 70, and Social Security and Medicare are permanently tampered with, how will we respond as a nation?

I am supposed to be just outside of Washington DC right now, watching the Super Bowl Commercials with the LREDA (Liberal Religious Educators Association) board. Or not watching the Super Bowl Commercials because of the boycott. But, I'm not in DC. Our LREDA Board meeting was called off. Yesterday morning Anne Bancroft, the LREDA president decided that the massive snow storm in the mid-atlantic yesterday made it too dangerous for us all to try to get there.
So, I'm not hanging out with my LREDA peeps. And there will be no visioning discussion and no plan for 2020. At least not until we can reschedule.
But, wait guess what DID happen?!
A Sunday off! A Sunday, and I'm off! No work, on a Sunday!
HOLY SUNDAY Batman, a Sunday off.
I love my job, I love the children and the families I serve and everyone in the congregation. I love when my feet are burning at the end of a Sunday because I was up and down the three flights of stairs a dozen times. I love soup lunch Sundays and the times we have popcorn covering a 20 square feet of floor. I love holding the new babies and playing duplos with the toddlers and leading worship. I love it all.
But a Sunday off is a grand gift.
Guess what I did with my gem, my precious day?
I went to church!
But not my church. I went up to University Unitarian Church, the "high" church in Seattle--at least the high church for UUs. It was the youth Sunday, the week that the youth group puts on the service. Since my oldest son has been going to youth group up there this year, he was a part of the service, and I was going to miss it not only because I work on Sundays but because I had planned to be flying off to DC.
But I got to go to the youth service! And I got to see my son tell the "national" segment of their service about community. He told the story of the Unitarian and Universalist youth and how they joined forces to become LRY, or Liberal Religious Youth, nearly a decade before the official merger of Unitarians and Universalists, and by the way, at the same time that the Unitarian and Universalist Religious Educators joined forces as LREDA.
The youth service was great, lots of readings, a skit, music and of course, dancing with feather boas to "We Are Family" as a postlude. I was certainly spiritually enriched!
Then I went to see my middle son play soccer. We thought that after 11 years of playing soccer that it might be his final game ever, but they won so it looks like they advance in the playoffs and he'll play at least one more game. I may miss his very last game if it happens on a Sunday, but at least I got to see him score a goal in this game.
I'm thankful for the found Sunday and a chance to have a day filled with family and fun. Now we're watching the Super Bowl commercials (a dad from our homeschool school did the commercial with Chevy Chase) and sitting on the couch and just hanging out. It's a good thing, this "day off" thing.
I might just have to try this again, someday...

Click here to check out this week's Pairing Off by Dave Faries of the Dallas Observer.
This time around, as part of his ongoing series that matches wines with unconventional foods - think microwave popcorn and cheap frozen dinners - Faries tackles an American classic, and comes up with a few choice picks to pair with every 5-year-old's lunchbox fave (sorry, Junior, you're stickin' with milk).
He got a little help from yours truly, but I don't know if I would have been so forthcoming if I'd known in advance that he favors chunky over creamy. I mean, chunky? That's just wrong.

i could not resist to formulate a reply on that impulse:
in the vibration of '55 is ma KIN022 destiny-path , dear Lloydiné.
thank you for this tribute to the Electified Eagle's Eyes!
anecdôte: in ma 1st years i was empowered to cherish ma 3rd EYE chakra - without knowing that as by serenditipious interact from the cosmo-noo
what happened ?
a nice uncle was kind of teasing me often by saying : "aha there we have Cornèl Pajor (a famous Hungarian IceScater)". The child reacted "furious" by pronouncing his name with repeating sound and rhythm:
"i am not Cornèl Pajor ~ i am SaceSee SaceSee SaceSee"
Well, later in ma life i learned to "See" that the "a" sound in Sace facilitates the 6th Chakra and the "ëe" sound in See facilitates the 7th Chakra. This was all linked to the idea that i am on sync with the 022 "power" in Solar Wind and with other adventures.

The block of the month block for the 5th month is Road to Dixie. I posted the Civil War Chronicle that went with this block a few days ago. This block is a triangle. I had to attach it to the block from last month and then sew them on the corners of the quilt that I have pieced so far.
I don't have a pic of the pieced quilt so far. I meant to take one several days ago, but I didn't get to it. That pic will be upcoming. I also have the block for month 6 pieced. It is not to be sewn onto the quilt for a month or so yet. They did not sent the instructions for sewing in on yet.
I have pieced a quilt for our first grandchild's wedding and have it quilted also. A pic of that will be coming a few days.

So I have a new favorite site to share when you want to learn a little something.
TED Talks shares videos of talks from the Technology Entertainment and Design (TED) Conferences, held across the world. TED's focus is "ideas worth spreading," and so all of the videos are free online. The speakers come from all disciplines, and their lectures cover a variety of topics. The talks are grouped into a variety of different themes. You can hear from Bono, Bill Clinton, JJ Abrams, or John Wooden, or any number of amazing other people.
The first TED talk that I watched was from Aimee Mullins about her 12 pairs of legs. She offers a really fascinating look at prosthetic legs as art and beauty.
If you have the chance, definitely check it out.

K, remind me again why I wanted a son so badly?
Today he pooped, then peed on me, then peed on me again. In that order.
If he weren't so cute I would be highly offended.
Posted by Jae at 9:48 PM
LOL, it's not that boys are gross, it's that you got really lucky that your daughter never peed on you! LOL! My current baby has only peed on me once in 8 months...and it was last week.
My boys are gross, but they're worth it. Trust me! Just be quick getting those diapers on. :) Or throw a wash cloth over his front if you need to wipe his bum.
Rem is 2 & has yet to pee on me. *knock on wood* BUT when he was newborn I was changing his diaper and he peed right in his eyes...lol!

I'm going to be an Astronaut (Bucket List)
I just applied for a job on the International Space Station. Today was the deadline.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a garbage man. The second thing I wanted to be was an Astronaut. That desire has never left me, but somehow I got sidetracked over the last 37 years and wound up with an Art degree and a job in Software Development. How does that happen?
So anyway I stumbled on an article that NASA was going to being hiring a new class of astronauts. They only recruit every 4-10 years so I felt some serious urgency to do something about it. Sure I'm not REALLY qualified as a pilot or anything, but I have a strong mind for science and am probably the most stubborn son of a bitch you ever met. (according to my wife) I didnt lie or embellish my resume but spent some time writing around some of my defienciencies concerning Relavant Degrees and you know, Experience.
It's funny because the job is actually posted along with all the other Government jobs like tax clerks and Janitors and whatnot. All I had to do was be willing to apply.
You can think that I wont get the call and you might be right. But people told me I couldnt ride a bike accross the US, that I was too fat to run a Marathon, and too Skinny to be a Competitive Eater. I took the process seriously, and I hope to be considered seriously. If I'm told 'No' it wont be by anyone other than NASA. It's a job that I KNOW I could do, and I'd be crazy not to apply. Crazy.
