Ben Frimet, an art teacher at the City of London Academy in Bermondsey, received a 'Thank You Teacher' award live on ITV's Good Morning Britain programme this week.
Ben has worked with students after school to create a giant skeleton of a chicken displayed in the academy's atrium and coordinated the work of art, science and English departments in the cross-curricular Chicken Fest project.
GMB's Matt Johnson interviewed Ben about the giant chicken and his work with the students, staff and Chicken Coop.
Ben was then taken through to the atrium where he received a cheer from students and staff, whilst confetti rained down on him.
"It was very heart-warming and lovely to be given a national accolade for something I enjoy doing," said Ben Frimet.
"It was lovely to celebrate the students' and Chicken Coop's work through this achievement."
Principal Richard Bannister said: "I am delighted that we were able to support Ben in this exciting cross-curricular project at the City of London Academy (Southwark).
"Ben really deserves the Award for all the hard work in planning and working with students outside of the school day on the Chicken Fest launch."
• Last week CoLA hosted a launch event for the new primary academy to open in September 2016 at the former Galleywall Primary School site in Galleywall Road.

Rarely do I visit the "Dark Side" of my mental therapy. Over the weekend I decided to challenge myself and did. I am quite happy with the turn out and I am going to actually enter them in a couple of Dark Side Challenges. I just love how the "Dark Side" sounds.
I am entering the tag in the current PunkYouGirl Challenge and the Left of Center Challenge. Oh I almost forgot! Here is the direct link for the PunkYouGirl Lavish Lace Challenge. Just click here. I entered my card over at the Outlawz and I don't think it was received very well. Oh well, sometimes you have to think outside of the box and I'm still a little upset with them that I never received the prize I won in February. Such is life.
My paper I used on both is from Color Bok. The lace is from a doilie, my images are from Rick St. Dennis and Smeared Ink.
Please let me know you were here. I love reading your comments. Become a follower of my blog, the more the merrier. I can't promise that I will keep my blog updated, because in all honesty I suck at it. Also stop over at Crafting By Designs and join us for a challenge or two.
Sadly it took me two times to realize this, there won't be a third. I just wish people would understand that even though they don't think they are hurting your feelings, they really are.

A rambly, unfocused novel, moving back and forth in time, and nesting times, for no apparent reason. But there is some nice stuff here and there, and some interesting characters. Here is the hero, Jackson, musing on literature.
This attempt at betterment had extended beyond paintings and piano rentals and museum artifacts, he had also been grimly working his way through the world's classics. Fiction had never been Jackson's thing. Facts seemed challenging enough without making stuff up. What he discovered was that the great novels of the world were about three things — death, money, and sex. Occasionally a whale. But poetry had wormed its way in, uninvited. A Toad, can die of Light! Crazy. So that here he was, thinking of his long-dead, long-lost sister, bolstered by a woman who felt a funeral in her brain.
— Kate Atkinson, Started Early, Took My Dog, p. 48

The Conquered Sun Rises
Home Page
The Conquered Sun Rises
A home brewed Exalted campaign using the Fate system. Pulling from the idea that the Exalted reincarnate I've pushed that forward to modern WOD and hypothesized some outcomes. The first is that the Technocracy has had a major impact on the gods and Exalted reducing the Solars from my campaign to mostly ordinary and mundane individuals. Unfortunately, a secondary side effect is that they've weakened the barriers between the Abyss and the real world letting the elder gods directly impact the world. Their death knights have returned and are culling the remaining Solar souls. The Sidereal's have put into play a last valiant attempt to shake the Unconquered Sun out of his stupor, by placing the remaining Solar souls in danger. That is where the campaign starts.

First Weekend: Stadtfest -> AFS camp
So my weekend started off pretty boring. I sat around and tried to figure out how I was going to get myself to Jana's that night when the last bus left at 3 (which was way to early) eventually my hostmom said it would be no problem to drop me off there after we went to the Stadtfest in Würzburg. So after lunch, Inge, Jule, and Elly (my hostmom's sister) left for the stadtfest.
|So many people at the fest
It was really awesome and really big. We met up with the rest of the family and I left to go meet Samantha. After finally finding each other in a city neither of us is really familiar with we walked around a took in the sites. We tried ate some german classics, bratwurst and gebrannt Mandeln. We walked over to the Residenz, an old castle where the new Three Musketeers movie starring Orlando Bloom is being filmed. Unfortunately Orlando Bloom wasn't there but it was still really beautiful.
|the Residenz
After we walked around some more and did a little shopping. I bought a really nice leather jacket (well i'm pretty sure it's fake leather) and a scarf. There were so many people and so many cover bands playing so when we got tired we'd just stop for a little and listen to the bands. At around 6 I met up with Inge and said to goodbye to Samantha. Then we drove to Jana's.
Jana and I talked for a little until her friends came over who were all really nice. Then we walked to another friend of her's, where there were more people. We all played SingStar and it was really fun. Everyone was really nice and talked with me. Finally at around 2:30 everyone left and Jana and I headed back to her house.
We both passed out and had to get up around 8 the next morning.
We took the train to Schweinfort and met with all the other Afsers in the Würzburg area. I was the only American student so it was really cool to meet people from all over the world. We wallked around, doing some siteseeing, which was a little pointless since everything everywhere in Germany is closed on Sundays. After we ate lunch we at sat around and discussed how our first week was and what the rules of AFS were. It was pretty boring aside from getting to talk to other students and the german returnees from the US. Finally at around 5, I left with Inge and Jule. Jule and I were so hungry we stopped at an italian restaurant in Uettingen for dinner (yummm (: ) That's about all I did my first weekend. It was a little busy but pretty fun.

Because I never got that blog up and running (still a project for the future, like compiling my poetry and trying to publish it, and reviewing those end-of-summer evaluations our two-hundred staff members filled out, and more), and I actually felt overwhelmed enough to write something, we'll call you my audience.
Sarah forwarded to me a comment by Av Sinenski (sp?), suggesting something that my breakfast-date this morning, an Israeli, found particularly fascinating: less than fifty years after Jim Crow found himself lynched (unceremoniously), there are many African Americans alive today who have just seen something that they literally (and figuratively) thought impossible - if not yesterday, then two years ago, or when the NFL instituted the Rooney Rule, or when Rodney King found himself beaten senseless, or when Strom Thurmond made news for fathering children with a Black woman (he, of course, was 'treading' in the previously tilled-fields of the father of all belief vs. behavior contradictions, Jefferson), or one of the other obvious, blatant moments that demonstrated how the American world sees blacks not as invisible (we reserve that for women, as the feminist movement claims) but as unlikely to be positively visible. Av suggested that, what that 106-year-old Atlanta woman is experiencing right now, having been born into a world where women did not have the vote and where Democrats were the party that would yet give birth to a post-Reconstruction backlash, is likely the best stand-in, for our generation (and our parents generation), for what the Jewish community worldwide (and especially in Israel) must have experienced in 1947, 1948, if not also in 1967.
There is more to this connection, however - at least in my little intellectual-cultural bubble, there is a rebirth of hope.
We have not yet entered a world where contemporary events have effectively entered the world of ritual (we may never), and there are challenges to the observance of even the politicized, conflicting commemorations that exist. But I'd like to suggest that there are now three events in my life with classic historical significance which I will not only never forget, but that reach the "Kennedy assasination" threshold of large chunks of our generation knowing precisely where they were when they first heard (please excuse the definitely grammatically incorrect use of verb tense in the previous sentence). The two obvious ones are tonight's historical step into a new future and that morning I woke up to Besty Chanales informing me that "a plane hit the World Trade Center." The third creates a wonderful bookend, having occured thirteen years ago yesterday; putting 9/11 in a virtual center-point; and having been experienced - by me, at least - as far away from the event itself as Obama's victory last night. (Brief aside: It is a powerful statement of the victory of individualization that we now remember events of global significance not because of the events themselves [which modern communication and post-modern hermeneutics of information problematize profoundly] but on my own individual experience of learning of the event. Since November 22, 1963, where I was when I learned that the world changed is much more important than the fact that the world changed; the alteration of my experience, rooted in the context at which the paradigm shift began to affect me, is essential, while the paradigm shift itself is relegated to a distant second place.)
On November 4, 1995, Yitzhak Rabin was killed. I will call that date an inflection point at which hope began to slow, though it did not began to diminish, perhaps, until 9/11. Yesterday was a double inflection point: hope began to rise, and quickly. (Calculus implications of the previous sentence, if obvious to you, should be appreciated; if not obvious, I'd suggest not worrying about it.)
But there's more.
For though we do not yet (though I believe we will) possess texts that will come to be associated with Obama's rise in the cultural way that we have a rich library to describe Rabin's life, tragedy, and legacy, note the following textual similarities:
Some of Rabin's last words:
תנו לשמש לחזור, מבעד לפרחים,
אל תביטו לאחור, הניחו להולכים,
שעו עיניים בתקווה, לא דרך כוונות, וכו'
Rabin, who must have looked up at Yigal Amir - and at the barrel of the handgun - before or after he was shot, demanded that, in the face of war and violence (the theme of the rally that night was די לאלימות), we insist on hoping; we be audacious (as it were) enough to hope.
The song continues:
אל תגידו יום יבוא, הביאו את היום,
כי לא חלום הוא
Or, in the words and theme of Obama's rally tonight (and oh how I longed to be a Chicago resident), "yes we can," must become "yes we did;" that which was potential must be realized - such is the fuel of hope.
Pessimism is a de facto state for much of the Jewish community. Note my grandmother's question after Lieberman was selected as Vice Presidential candidate: "But is it good for the Jews?" Note the lack of belief in much of Israel for a better future - with either our external neighbors or our internal (Jewish) ones. And so I understand, perhaps, what is so scary about Obama's optimism. But isn't that also the absurdity of the Israelis' (and some Jews, though not as many as we - or Sarah Silverman - might have feared) fear of Obama? He is not (at least not yet) a fear-mongerer or a blamer. He is not motivated by spreading people apart, by inciting one against the other (the prerequisites, as far as I can tell, for genocide). He is a hoper, and he understands its power. The application of the tune we sing to HaTikvah (just as absurdly Polish as charedi outfits) to the end of the last ברכה before קריאת שמע is an actual theological statement about its meaning. A religious tradition that nursed itself for two millennia on the idea of והביאנו לשלום מארבע כנפות הארץ ותוליכינו קוממיות לארצינו is a nation that should better understand hope's underlying power over us, over the world, and over any struggle for survival. (Perhaps the social and security difficulties of the last sixty years have dampened that hope, more than the Crusades, Inquisition, Blood Libels, Pogroms, or Holocaust could.) For me, at least, Obama could not be more in-line with my Judaism - or with Rabin's (not that Rabin would serve as any type of role model to those who do not support Obama); he embodies the central tenet of (my) post-modern Judaism: עוד לא אבדה תקוותנו.
And so, the gargantuan task that faces Obama and his team in the days and weeks to come, the likelihood that he cannot live up to our expectations for him, and the lingering question of even the possibility of fundamentally altering the habits of a ship as old as the United States (not to mention the elevation to נביא בישראל of the writers of the West Wing, and oh how I wish a Josh Lyman had found me and taken me to this higher calling), we shall leave for another day. For today, in the world that exists inside my head, that which was lost thirteen years ago yesterday was redeemed, somehow, last night. And I do mean redeemed - brought back to what it was - for the time being, at least, no more. Hope has returned. And the symbolic exorcism of that old ship's greatest sin includes the assumption of a mantle once held by Lincoln (who began the ראשית צמיחה of that exorcism) and Roosevelt by someone who has dared us to hope. Which is a reminder that, in our darkest moments (and only history will tell us, when we are old and gray, if this is indeed one of them), our ship of a nation has found the best captain to navigate the choppiest of seas. JAR's tongue-in-cheek hope-poem of this summer, placing Obama in the captain's chair from which Booth forcefully removed Lincoln, is an opening foray into the writing of cultural artifacts to represent this new age. At least, I hope it is an opening foray, though less than I hope that it is a new age.
Maybe I'll start that blog now.

When I went to the table, I was a little overwhelmed by the number of children whose forms were lying there waiting for sponsors. I didn't know where to begin, how could I choose just one? As I looked through the forms and photos, I came across a little boy from Zambia that was six years old. He was so cute, and his birthday just happened to be our anniversary. Immediately I knew, this was the one, Egnitious.
I was so excited to begin writing letters, sending e-mails, and praying for this little boy. As soon as I got my packet with contact information I wrote my first letter and began to anxiously await an annual report and a reply to my letter.
This weekend, I received his first annual report. It contained a little more information about Egnitious, his hobbies, chores, etc. There was even a little picture that he drew us of, best I can tell, a barrel. But, the thing that excited me most out of the whole report, was a new picture! In this new picture my little boy actually looks happy, and I was thrilled to have it!
Now, I will continue to pray, continue to write, and continue to love this little Zambian boy. God has truly blessed me with the privilege of supporting him and sharing His love with Egnitious. If it crosses your mind, please join me in praying for protection, provision, and a growing knowledge of the love of Christ for this little boy.

Georgia's new defence minister Levan Izoria outlined his priorities on Tuesday, at a meeting with top military officials in Tbilisi. Prime Minister Georgi Kvirikashvili, also present, said it is important that the role not be politicized.
Izoria priorities will be securing peace within Georgia, actively participating in NATO's mission in Afghanistan in partnership with the United States, and improving Georgia's self-defence capacity with the help of NATO, he said at the Ministry of Defence.
He also said he wants to pursue "sober policy". "First, [this] implies securing peace and security, and second, deterring threats and risks through sustainable development of our defense capabilities and integration to the Euro-Atlantic structures."
A memorandum on boosting military capacity was signed with the United States earlier this month, with US Secretary of State John Kerry present.
Izoria replaces Tina Khidasheli, who stepped down so she can represent the Republican Party in Georgia's upcoming legislative elections. The party is running separate from its former coalition partners, Georgian Dream. Khidasheli criticised the appointment of Izoria, a former deputy head of the State Security Service.
"It is a wrong message to our partners abroad, as well as internally, when at first Irakli Alasania, a political figure, was replaced by a security official [Mindia Janelidze] as defence minister and then Khidasheli was replaced again by a security [official]… It indicates on a very negative trend," she said.
However, Prime Minister Kvirikashvili reassured journalists that the role would not be politicised. "The MoD should be maximally distanced from any kind of political confrontation and in general political confrontation should be over in the country."
"I'm sure we will be able to implement very important reforms at the Ministry and I think nobody doubts that the agency needs to be reformed and strengthened," he said at the Tuesday meeting.
Georgia's legislative elections will take place on October 8. As well as Izoria replacing Khidasheli, Ketevan Tsikhelashvili has replaced Paata Zakareishvili as State Minister for Reconciliation and Civic Equality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MeMaw2623 from Perfect Mirror Redoing my bathroom and needed a large oval mirror with a black frame. This mirror will work perfectly. Ordered two mirrors, will use the second mirror elsewhere in the house as I like the look. Quality seems to be great, substantial piece, not flimsy at all. Love that Kirkland's packages so well. Have ordered many things, even had a box thrown over my fence by UPS, and nothing broken or bent. Kirkland's is my new "go to" place for quality products at a reasonable price and great customer service.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Giftbuyingmama from Nice mirror! I got this for a wedding gift and the bride to be really liked it. It's pretty big, so we just put a huge bow on it to give it at the shower. It was a fun gift, as she most certainly didn't get a duplicate and it was "different" than the usual "blender/toaster/crockpot/dishes" type gift. It was fun to give a unique gift and I think it was appreciated as new brides are decorating their new homes and it's fun to have something to work with. Yay for Kirklands, love this store!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen76 from This product is great in a foyer I purchased this for our new office. I had one wall in our foyer that was bare and this just made it look awesome - paired it with an entry table and on top of the table, placed a bowl with silver/dark orbs from Kirklands as well. It was easy to hang on the wall and very easy to clean. Looks like a mirror you would purchase anywhere else for hundreds of dollars. Well worth the money and beautiful accent to the room!

Battle for Forai Gate: Turn 3
This is the turn where the Tau proved just how deadly they could be.
Defenders Turn 3
First of all, the Necron Destroyer Lord returned to life, passing his "We'll Be Back!" roll. The Monolith appeared in the City Square, imposing its hulk upon the Terminators. The Seer Counsil moved towards the other unit deeper in the city. The Pylon appeared at the city gates.
The last Gun Drone squadron Deep Striked in to counter the newly arrived Orks. When the Tigershark flew in, a Long Range Ack-Ack Strategic Asset forced it to disenguage. Kroot units outflanked on both sides, attempting to buy more time for us before the Orks reached the walls again. In a sneaky bid, the Necron Lord used Veil of Darkness to jump in with the Gun Drones and attack the Ork front lines, leaving onf the the tunnels undefended.
Of course, one side of the field was rendered moot when in all its glory, the Exuchor destroyed the Ork units on the right side of the table. ...It also hit the Kroot. Both units went to ground to attempt to lessen the damage. The Broadsides unleashed their weapons on the Stompa and managed to breach its last structure point, destroying it. Shadowsun and the Stealth Teams used their deadly Fusion Blasters to destroy the Battlewagon and the Dreadnaught on the left side. The Fire Warriors turned around on the wall to see the Terminators right below them, and after teaming up with the Monolith, destroyed the entire squad. The Seer Council used their Destructors to annihalate the other team.
The Gun Drones and Necrons attempt to deal a fatal blow to Razgob, but their shots cannot breach his mega armour.
Oh sweet blasphemy, the Tau are assaulting. The Kroot on the deep left side of the board engage the Ork Boyz and route them completely, losing only 3 of their numbers.
Farsight charged in and engaged the Gargant, and using the Dawn Blade, pierced its armour and dealt the final blow to it. Wrecked, the Gargant was permanently removed from the board.
Farsight in victory over the massive Ork war machine
The Tau, having personally wrecked 2 Super Heavies, 2 vehicles, 1 Terminator squad and a unit of Boyz, felt pretty good at this point in the battle.
Attackers Turn 3
It is at this point I have realized the Commander Braxton is not on the table. After pondering this question for a minute, I note the Imperial Valkyrie speeding out of the city gate. ...Clever girl....
AHHHH the enemy comes pouring through the undefended tunnel! Orks, Tyranids and...IS THAT HERATIC VARLAK?! Carnifexes begin to Mythic Assault around the city, but due to extraordinary luck, one unit mishaps and kills itself. The Hive Tyrant mishaps as well and is returned to reserves. With both sides out of reserves save for the Orks, the battle has reached the climax.
SURPRISE! Poor Varlak gets AMBUSHed as he enters the city, and all of his unit is destroyed. The strategic assets of the Eldar are continuing to be useful.
The Necron Warriors get a face full of Kill Cannon from the returned Battlewagon, killing nearly the entire unit. Da Vulcha drops its bombs and rockets again, killing one of my Fire Warrior units and damaging the Scorpion. Carnifexes attack our forces within and outside the gate, and one of my Crisis Teams are down. The Kroot become swarmed my Orks and are wiped out entirely.
In the depths of the city, the Orks and Tyranids fire upon the Eldar Jetbikes, dealing tremendous damage.
Snickrot assaults the lost of the Kroot, killing them. Is it me, or does it seem like we are the only ones doing the assaulting? It should really be the other way.
With time in our game day almost up, the next turn will be the decider in the battle. Currently Our forces have control over the Power Node and Forai Gate, whist the Ork mob has control of the Outpost. Neither side has killed any of the special characters (Commander Braxton and Inquisitor Fortez, and Warboss Razgob and Heretic Varlak).

I have decided to follow an experiment...wanna join me? I would love to hear how this effects you too if you decide to do it!!
Today my husband and I discussed it and cable has got to go! It was a good friend at first...keeping you company late nights. Making you laugh, cry, or some times just educate you....but lately cable has begun to be a parasite. It saps the life right from you. Hours that you could spend laughing with, crying with or educating your loved ones around you has been lost. Time that could have been spent outside discovering wonders around you is forever gone. Not to mention the money that you shelled out to for that friend cable is gone. Oh sure you had some great times. Mind numbing times to be exact. Not to mention the influence it has on your children. Teaching them great things like how to be a "mean" girl. Or how to be sneaky and mischievous. Not to mention on the clothing fads that it impresses on them or the MUST have it's right now!! OR I AM GOING TO DIE MOM!!!! Oh the memories that we made together.
So we are saying goodbye to the friend.....errr....parasite...
I am excited about the new adventure to come. The possibilities that are going to come. Time enough to do that scrapbooking that has been plaguing me since my children were born. Really sitting down and listening to what those around me have to say. Or just getting off the couch and taking a walk.
I challenge you to try this with me! I would love to hear how you handle the situation. If you have kids what are their reactions? Have you done things you do not normally do? Has it saved you money?
So are you up for the challenge? Mine starts today. Even though we have not canceled the cable yet...my husband needs to call..I refuse to let that friend walk back into my door.

Uncle Boonmee... (2010) film, but Cemetery has a similar elusive quality infused within every part of it, the kind that makes pinning down what exactly makes it different from other works very hard for me to translate into words.
The plot involves a female volunteer at a makeshift hospital in which a large number of soldiers are being treated for a mysterious sleeping disorder, while outside the facility other soldiers carry out construction work, digging up the beautiful landscape. The temporary ward shares the space it occupies with the living memories of people with a rich but distant history. The watchful camera, slow-paced lifestyle and complete lack of non-diegetic music all contribute to a feeling that something spiritually and culturally profound is unfolding, and to discern it we need only become sensitive to its equivocal splendour.

A Book-Binge Survival Guide
Close your eyes and imagine. Oh wait, you need your eyes to read this–scratch that. Anyway, the holidays have passed. The first of the year has arrived. And there you are with SO MANY bookish gift cards/certificates that you feel giddy and sweaty and excited all at the same time.
Your first reaction is: MUST BUY ALLLLL THE BOOKS!!!!!
Your second reaction is: but then I'll have a huge TBR pile on my floor and it'll give me heart palpitations whenever I look at it because there aren't enough hours in the day to read.
And then you feel depressed.
Well, consider this your lucky day, cause I'm here to help. Now, all you Hannukah revelers may be past help at this point, but you might be able to salvage that last bit of gift money for something special. All you Christmas revelers, though, still have time to prepare, with the help of this friendly survival guide to the BIG BOOK BINGE.
So, once the wrapping paper is cleaned up, the Hallmark cards are set out on your table or stuck to your refrigerator, and all the guests have left, you'll find yourself laden with (hopefully) many gift cards/certificates to your favorite indie bookstores or Barnes & Noble. Here's how to stay sane in the face of those riches and maximize your book-buying experience*:
1. CALM DOWN. Breathe deeply, iiiiiiinnn and ouuuuutttt, a few times. Good. That's good.
I do have a yoga book for this…maybe I should get another?
2. Now, place the cards/certificates in relevant piles (i.e. all the indie bookstore gifts in one pile, the B&N in another; or cards to use now vs. later; etc.).
What's "later"?
3. Go to your MUST READ list (don't look shocked, of course I know you have one) and carefully scan through it to see which books are truly beckoning to you. Compose a new list of those books.
Beckoning, guilt-tripping, threatening, etc.
4. List only the number of books that could be covered by your cards. So, if you have a $25 card, and you like buying new-release hardbacks, understand that you'll only be able to cover one book (or almost cover). Multiple cards, though, or larger amounts will give you more flexibility.
This sounds like it would take up time that I could use browsing books…
5. Rank the books on your subset list in order of MUST-READness.
According to pop culture, physical threats from loved ones, brain–level-up potential, etc.
6. Watch an episode of Game of Thrones. It's like reading, but shorter, and just as epic.
7. Return to your list and make any necessary
changes additions.
8. Stick to this list when you venture forth to book-binge.
9. Understand that you CAN portion these cards out over time. For instance, you might use only one card per month, or only when you are finished with the book you just bought. Whatever works for you.
Not sure how good I'd be at this one. Keep me away from autographed and clearance racks…I don't even look at what I'm buying at that point. Just kidding
, not really.
10. Feel good about your self-control and go crazy with something else.
Self-restraint is a lot easier in a candy store than a book store, for me. One is bad for your waistline, the other is good for your brain. However, both are good for your soul, or so says my mom. 😉
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.
* this list applies to cold hard cash, as well

Hey Jaleh! How goes the move? Thanks for being so damned supportive of my 30 Days Of Foolishness over at my blog. I'm popping you in my blogroll so I don't miss your return! Thanks, Indigo x

Move went very well, thank you both! And happy to have you join me in the dragon's library, Indigo. Your 30-days thing was fun even though I missed parts of it.
I've finally gotten my head moving back into creative mode, so this week I managed some writing. I've also starting planning some crafting projects I will try to work on this week. Also good: I finally picked up a book, a new-to-me one at that. So hopefully, either tonight or tomorrow I'll have a book review to post. I think I can manage ROW80 this Round, wasn't sure I was going to, but I think I'm ready to jump back into the social swing. So my book review may be combined with ROW80 goals. Yay!

LM Glasfiber on the move
The Herald has a story in today's paper about the continuing expansion of the LM Glasfiber factory in Grand Forks. The company's current round of hirings will bring total employment to around 800.
The factory opened in 1998. By last summer, employment stood at about 320. In less than a year, they have grown to over 700 and will now be at 800. They have more than doubled employment within the last year. That is amazing growth. LM Glasfiber has become an integral part of the local economy and they seem to be one of our brightest hopes for continued growth in the future.
I have heard mention that the company has practically run out of room at their current facility. I have also heard talk that a new LM Glasfiber research/development facility might be in the works for Grand Forks. If both of these things are the case, could the company be planning construction of a new factory campus in the near future? The Industrial Park doesn't currently have enough space to accomodate a large new complex. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the city has been talking about expanding the Industrial Park.
In my opinion, the city of Grand Forks should be willing to do just about anything to retain this company and to help it continue its impressive growth.

The reason i love wraps is because you can be as creative as you want, you can use wraps to get in as many veggies as you possibly can in your diet, and they are much lighter than sandwiches as the tortilla is really thin, while still getting the satisfaction of 'bread'
so here's a few ideas for some delicious and healthy wraps that i made:
Chicken and peppers with fresh basil, cayenne pepper and yogurt!
Anari cheese and tomato. (SIMPLE BUT SOOO DELICIOUS!)

A short round up of recent summer events:
1. Sister Dates
Lately, Anna and Katie have been going on many sister outings. Last weekend it was the Koons exhibit at The Whitney followed by a walk in Central Park. Working every other weekend means I miss out on a lot of these dates, but I feel like I vicariously take care of my cultural obligations through their museum-ing. And I get to enjoy the pictures that they send.
2. Out to Eat
One of our favorite activities remains going out to eat. On a recent Tuesday we had the prix fixe at Prince St. Kitchen. What a delightful invention. Without the price fixe, we'd never have dessert at a restaurant!
This Indian restaurant in the East Village is the coziest space in New York City. For those who have always dreamed of dining inside of a Christmas tree, this is your answer. The entire ceiling is densely decorated with low hanging lights so you have to duck your head. It is also about the size of a subway car so don't expect to be able to move much or exit in a timely manner. There is no way this place is compliant with fire code. If the lights weren't enough excitement, twice during the short dinner the lights shut off and the strobe lights, disco ball and Indian techno music turned on while all the waiters started singing 'happy birthday.' The first birthday boy was a tiny fellow who was utterly confused.
Of course the experience is about the ambiance, making the food mostly irrelevant, but the food is actually pretty tasty. They rush it to your table and then they rush it off. When the waiter started clearing the plates away (there's a long line out the door) I had to beg twice to have my dish back. Begrudgingly, he let me have it. Our friend wasn't so lucky—in an instant, she was left with a fork full of food and no plate. But you can't be upset about the service, because it really adds to the whole experience.
We headed to Tribeca this Saturday for brunch at Bubby's. To quench your thirst during the wait, Bubby's kindly provides a pitcher full of pink lemonade. A very sweet touch indeed.
Recently, we have been engaged in a food war with Sean via text. He'll send pictures of what he and Laura have been feasting on in Chicago and we retaliate with close-ups of our culinary adventures. A winner remains TBD at the moment.
Vietnamese sandwiches on a bench in Park Slope.
Chai tea, granola and the Sunday Style section in the Lower East Side.A breakfast burrito in the Lower East Side.
And salty pork ramen on a late Saturday night.
3. Work Outing
Anna got to work from home on Friday and go to a team bonding event in the afternoon. I suppose there's no better way to bond than over wine and fancy cheese in the West Village. Ah, start-ups.
4. Celebrate Brooklyn Concert
5. Central Park Zoo
After sitting on my "To Do" list for about a year, we finally made it to the Children's Petting Zoo in Central Park. After admiring hundreds of pristine white, happy sheep in the fields of Wales and Ireland this summer, this fellow was a little sad. Imagine how many dirty New York City children's hands it took to get his coat this dirty.
Taking a break at the seal tank. The Central Park Zoo is the perfect size. I believe we saw every single monkey, insect and lion.
After all of our hard work feeding and petting the animals, we rested on the lawn in Central Park.
6. Upstate New York
A quick one-day respite in the Adirondacks.
7. 16-Hour Shifts
Not pictured cause, ya know, HIPPA.

I asked myself: Is there such a thing as being over-therapized? Because if there is, I think I'm doing just that.
I've been seeing my therapist for a couple years now and I feel like I've made progress. And then Mr. Darcy moved in and we found ourselves in a bit of an emotional shitstorm so we decided that couples counseling would be a good idea. And it was! It is! We really like our therapist and feel like we're moving in a good direction. We're learning a lot about how we operate both individually and as a couple and because of that, our relationship definitely feels more solid, more joyous, more connected.
I've continued going to my individual therapist while we've gone to couple's counseling. An important thing to note is that Mr. Darcy and I had only a handful of sessions jointly and then we have been going every other week individually- that's how our counselor works and it works for us. Except for me that means I am going to two therapists for what is seemingly individual counseling. I suppose I was okay with it when one was for me and the other was for us, me and Mr. Darcy as a unit. Now it just feels like A LOT of therapy.
Add to that fact that my therapists have very different approaches and maybe you can see why I am struggling. As I've mentioned, my individual therapist has me lie on a couch while she sits in a chair behind me. I joke that I feel like I am in a Woody Allen film. But it's useful and her reasoning for suggesting it was valid- I DO tend to "perform" and have trouble really getting in touch with my emotions when I have an audience (she being the audience of one). Conversely, our couple's counselor has us speak directly to her while looking her in the eye. We're talking 45 minutes of intense eye contact. It's part of her method and it's a startling contrast to my other therapy experience. I see validity in both approaches and feel like I benefit from both but doing both at the same time feels like too much. I'm in therapy so much that I hardly have time to process any of it or put it into practice, I'm jumping from one session to the next.
Deep breath.
So I made the decision to take a break from my individual therapist for a month while I go weekly to the couple's counselor. When I decide to do something, I do it. I'm not a very wishy-washy person. But that doesn't mean that I wasn't feeling like a girl about to tell her boyfriend she needed to "take a break" from the relationship. Ugh. I felt like a cliché. An anxious cliché. Except she is my therapist, not my boyfriend. But it smacked a bit of "it's not you, it's me" which made me very uncomfortable.
But still, I did it. I walked into my session and basically brought it up in the first 10 minutes. And then we spent the next 40 minutes dissecting the deeper reasons why I felt like I needed to do this. It was. . . uncomfortable. I did not enjoy it. At times I felt like I was being asked to justify my choice and that snowballed into over-explaining (it's a bad habit of mine). I walked out of there feeling like I did something wrong knowing full well that was all my stuff about worthiness, acceptance and people pleasing rearing up.
I'm trying to take away that I at least followed through with a decision I felt was right for ME and did it with sincerity, directness and kindness. I could have just wimped out and left her a half-assed voicemail but I didn't.
Being a grown up is hard sometimes.

Why is hospice care important?
The end of life does not have to be experienced solely as a time of pain, fear, loneliness, and anxiety. Hospice promotes the broad principle of palliative care and focuses on quality of life, thereby turning the end of life into an important time of living. Being in the home with family members gives patients comfort and security, and relieves feelings of isolation. By allowing patients to live life fully and make their own decisions, hospice provides them dignity and respect. Unlike other methods of health care, hospice also focuses on the well-being of the patient's family and offers support as it is needed. In addition, family members play an important role in making decisions about the patient's care. They may also be involved in the direct care of their loved one. Hospice provides a great deal of support to help families through the process of loss and grief. Hospice can also prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. Experienced professionals can predict many of the physical and psyc
Far too many people fear and experience death as a time of pain, anxiety and loneliness. Hospice alleviates fear and pain with comfort, knowledge and caring. Hospice focuses on quality of life, thereby turning the end of life into an important time of living, closure, and even growth. Hospice also helps people attain their wishes for the end of their lives. For example, when interviewed, 75% of people say they want to die at home. Fifty percent of hospice patients are able to fulfill this wish, but only 25% of non-hospice patients end their days in their place of choice. Additionally, only 9% of hospice patients died in a hospital, while 75% of those without hospice care died in an institutional setting, with 15% in the emergency room and 35% in acute care. Hospice care is so important because each of us has the right to die pain-free and with dignity, and our families should receive the necessary support to allow us to do so. No one should ever have to die alone, scared, and in pain.

Many cultures and religions have their own wedding traditions. Some couples let doves go after they say their vows, while others jump over a broom. The traditions seem countless. You may want to incorporate one of these traditions into your own wedding ceremony, or maybe come up with one of your own. This article will give you some ideas for different wedding traditions.
When sending out your wedding invitations, remember that it is your day, so avoid any person or combination of people that will ruin it in any way for you. It may be an insult to someone not to be invited, but if having them at your wedding will cause even the slightest of issues for you or your future spouse, it is really in your best interest to keep them off your guest list.
When you are planning your rehearsal dinner, make sure that it is very intimate, as you will only want to invite members of your family and close friends. This will make things very personal so that you can make toasts that appeal to the people who made a huge impact in your life.
Wedding bands are a vital part of the wedding, as they help to signify the joining of two parties. Make sure that on the days leading up to the wedding and on the wedding itself to have someone who you can count on keep track of your wedding bands to ensure security.
In case you loved this post and you wish to receive much more information relating to
cheap all inclusive las vegas weddings
please visit the site. To document your wedding day the best that you can, make sure that you have a large guest book. This will allow people to write what they are feeling and jot down some of the memories that they had with you. This can be a memorable keepsake for the rest of your life.
When taking photos at a wedding things can get hectic. Have a family member help the photographer out by getting all the family together when it's time to have group shots. It's a lot easier to call people by name in the case that they're not doing what they're supposed to be.
When planning your wedding, try picking out a theme for your big day. When you have a wedding theme, you will be focused on what you need for that theme. It can make your wedding decisions a bit easier since you know what theme you are going with. Having a theme can also make your wedding more memorable.
Noon is the best time for a reception. Your bar tab will be significantly less as people drink less in daylight. By having a lunch reception, the costs for food will also normally be less expensive. This could allow you to put the money saved towards other services required for your wedding.
For men who are about to get married, it is just as important that you wear a nice tuxedo as it is that the bride wear a beautiful dress. Men just assume that all the attention is on their bride, but the groom has all eyes on him as well.
If you want to save money on your destination wedding, have your honeymoon in the same location! You can usually get a great deal on the hotel for a longer stay, and you'll only have to do research on the place that you've selected for your wedding. This will also give you more time to relax as you won't be scurrying to the airport to get on your plane.
Speak to your family and friends in regards to services for your wedding. You never know when you might have an overlooked relative who handles music or cooking. You may also find that your friends have connections to service professionals who can offer you a discounted price due to the referral.
The truth of matter, as you will eventually find out, is that there is no such thing as perfection. However, that doesn't mean you won't want your wedding to be as close to perfect as possible. Striving for perfection is all about tying up those loose ends. Let this article assist you in streamlining the wedding process.

Twenty-six. Working on a Sunday. Freelancing! Not running, due to an injury from going too hard too fast, because I am ever the idealist, not realistic about what is good for me in a given moment. Twenty-six, and my idealism is still at the root of problems I cause for myself: taking on too much, torturing myself with a fantasy world, shouldering the guilt in the disconnect from what I think I should be doing compared with what I'm actually doing.
But I hope my tone is not too cynical, because I have found deep comfort in growing older, being older. I enjoy how the good things in the past still trickle in to bless the present. I appreciate how even in the torrential changes, some things still stay the same. I am thankful for how each year is filled with new experiences, which enrich my capacity to empathize with and understand others. Life is baby steps. You have to celebrate each little bit of falling forward.
So twenty-five was good. I went to Vietnam. I graduated law school. I saw my best friends get married. I passed one state bar. I went to South Africa, and finally, FINALLY, London. I even made some new friends!
And twenty-six will be hard, but it will be good. I will learn how to be a professional in my field. I will learn how not to be a workaholic. I will learn how to do adult things like buy my own health insurance and plan for retirement and maybe even move out of my parents' house.
I will keep learning how to put others before myself and how to take up my cross daily to follow my Savior.
Growth takes time. But the years on earth go by so quickly, whereas perfection is for eternity.

Well here we are at week 18, 2 more weeks and we'll be half way done. I can't believe how fast time is flying. In case you haven't heard we are having a girl, Grace Victoria!
What's happening with Gracie this week:
"Your child is nearly half a foot long and nearing a half pound. Their skin is now covered in a waxy substance known as vernix and their external genitals are now developed enough to be seen from an ultrasound."
What's happening with me this week:
Yup, still getting sick, in fact between 6am and9am I got sick 6 times, it was not a good morning. Other than the throwing up, I'm feeling pretty good and I'm loving being pregnant.
Our doctor's appointment went well last week, we heard Gracie's heartbeat for the first time, and boy was it fast! My uterus is right at my belly button and I'm still down as far as weight goes. My doctor isn't concerned, so neither am I. I'm just hoping I won't suddenly gain 10 pounds over night.
Well, we started on the nursery this weekend. Here are a few pictures of our progress.

Silly ManCat
ollie...."See biped! I can touch my nose wif my tongue!"
biped...."I decided dat today would be Silly Monday cuz on Design Star last night there was a silly boy child. (Daisy quit reading till you've watched da program)."
biped...."Da designers had to decorate kids bedrooms and one of them drew a 5 year old boy. When asked what color he wanted his room painted the little boy said, "spagetti". We're disapointed in da silly judges again. One of them criticized da designer for painting da room the color that the client wanted. And den da silly Vern Yip criticized da neat recycled head board."
heesh...."I wonder what Mr. Yip would say about da biped's "floral" arrangement that's made wif a broken drive shaft (part of a car) that has an old thisle and stalk of dried okra in it."

Today I am a host for the Blog Tour of Jadeite's Journey by Lucinda Stein, coordinated by YA Bound Book Tours.
Jadeite's Journey
by Lucinda Stein
Genre: YA Scifi
Release date: January 24th 2017
Inkspell Publishing
When romance turns deadly…
Jadeite's perfect world comes crashing down on her. In the futuristic world of United Society, her only problem has been how to act around the cute boy on the air shuttle. But Jadeite's world changes when she comes across a man who looks alarmingly like her father. Clones were declared illegal years ago. When she sees her father, a robotic engineer, headed to the Dark Edge of United Society, she follows him and uncovers her father's secret life.
Jadeite shadows her father past the boundary of United Society and into a primitive world of canyons and high deserts. She learns her father is a Ridge Runner passing between the two worlds. Even more alarming, she discovers her younger brother, Malachite, is sick and requires medicine only available from over the Ridge. After her father is arrested, Jadeite takes his place in order to save her brother's life.
But her world turns even more precarious after she breaks up with her obsessive boyfriend, Mattie. Jadeite soon learns his threats are more than words, and she finds her life is in jeopardy.
With a landscape reminiscent of Joss Weadon's Firefly and a utopian society similar to The Giver by Lois Lowry, Jadeite's Journey is a Sci-Fi adventure where one girl races to help her family. This book was a mixture of high school hijinks, family connections and political plot points. The main character of Jadeite is a teenage girl who is brave and loyal to her family and is caught up in a volatile relationship with Mattie, who is a politician's son with much sway and a horrible personality. I did not like his character from the very beginning and it was obvious that he was going to be an antagonist in this book. Sci-Fi elements such as cloning, and robotics were interesting to read about. Especially when combined with a dystopian world disguised as utopian. The family relationships was an element of the book that was a link back to present day and a connection for the reader to relate to Jadeite's character. Overall, this was an epic book with a plot that kept up the action.
A school librarian for over twenty years, Stein now writes fulltime. Sanctuary: Family, Friends, & Strangers was a 2015 Colorado Book Award finalist. Three Threads Woven, was a 2010 WILLA Finalist. Her story, Sulfur Springs, won First Place in the 2011 LAURA Short Fiction competition. Her stories have appeared in Pooled Ink, The South Dakota Review, Fine Lines, and Women Writing the West online.
When not writing, she hikes desert canyons and alpine trails. She loves anything vintage, her shelter-rescued dog, Opie, and, most of all, her husband, Rob.

I am grateful for the things I take for granted every day.
I am grateful for knowing I take them for granted.
I am grateful in knowing I take so many people for granted every day.
I am grateful in knowing I will never fully appreciate what I have in life.
I am grateful I know I have pushed my agenda on others every day to get my way.
I am grateful in knowing I have not considered the troubles I cause others every day.
I am grateful for knowing that I will never be fully present to what really matters in this life and this moment.
I am grateful in knowing that somehow I make my life and my views and opinions significant and sometimes that hurts others.
I am grateful in knowing how insignificant I really am.
I am grateful in knowing there is no way to account for all of the things I should be grateful for.
I am grateful that these things I am grateful for are no longer hidden from my view.

Happiness! What about it?
What is "Happiness"? First, let's look at the original meaning of happiness.
Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
Looking at this definition, I can see that in my life well... Happiness was lacking for most of my life. It seems the most I remember about happiness is that I always wanted more of it and there never seemed to be enough. I thought people are supposed to be happy, so I should be happy. The next part of the thought and feeling process for was the belief that something must be wrong because I was not happy. All of this energy focused on being happy or unhappy is exhausting, dark, and painful at times
Those sometimes dark days when you don't really have the desire to talk or be around anyone and the world seems so unfair that you are just sad and you don't know why. Is it just me that has felt this? The worst part of it all is the pressure and the universal assumption that I need and deserve to be happy. The gray area of happiness and unhappiness and the wanting to be happy. Then focus on the resignation and surrender that at that moment, I am not in fact happy at all. So what should I be doing to be happy?
How often do you experience being happy? Is it all the time? How long does it last?
If you are not experiencing being happy, then what state are you in and what and where is your attention at? Are you focusing on what you don't have i.e relationship,boyfriend, girlfriend,, car, or money thus making you unhappy? Or is your attention on what it is in your life that makes you unhappy i.e divorce, abuse, missing the mortgage payment, money for food?Maybe it is both? There are so many things to focus on here, and that is what you are doing. Focusing on what you do have which is "sadness" or discontent and your interpretation of what has caused this i.e why does he or she not love me, why is this happening too me? The questions of why am I feeling this way, and focusing on what you don't have which is happiness in this moment. This puts you in another state of mind, which is wanting or what we will call point B. You are in point A "sad" and wanting to be at point C "happy" what is now more pain and suffering is being in point B "wanting" which adds more suffering and sadness on top of the two states you are already in: The state of where you are point A "sad" where you are not point C "happy" and where you are "wanting" Point B. Some might argue that the fourth dimension to your suffering (as pointed out earlier) is the" Oh no, something is wrong with all of this. What is there to fix?". All of this is driven by our beliefs which then takes our thoughts and emotional state upside-down. Sadly, this is the point of our focus, and it is extreme.
This is something I will go into later. For now, this is just me playing around with some insights I have had about my self. So far, I have discussed where I am, where I am not, where I want to be, and that something is wrong with this (or me). This is because I am in a painful place to be unhappy or sad, and the wanting to be other than those feelings can drive anyone mad, or worse… It can push them to the point of despair, or even ending one's life.
I was talking with someone the other day who was going through a very hard time with a few things in her life, I wanted to say something that would console her and, suddenly the old cliche hit me. I have heard it so many times in my life, and I almost blurted it out loud: "This too shall pass". Later that same day, I met with a friend who shared some very exciting news about a job promotion that made him very happy. Again, it hit me: "This too shall pass".
Whether it is your finances, car, job, nice suits, poverty, happiness, sadness, youth, or old age, family, or friends... this too shall pass. This is acknowledging the impermanence of life. Once there is acceptance with this notion, you can learn to let go of those feelings you are focusing on. Things become easier when you say, nothing stays the same, and notice that even the simple things change, like the seasons, such as the leaves on the trees, mountains and life itself. This is the path of least resistance. There isn't any resistance for what there is or to the discomfort that this space holds.
The misconception that what you have makes you happy will, for the time being, make you comfortable. Cars, a nice home, money in the bank, a boat, etc… These will certainly give you some comfort and a sense of security. However, all of this happiness and comfort is temporary. Happiness seems to come from the external sources, whereas joy is something cultivated with in. I get out of my head and ask the question. "What is happening right now in this moment? Have I had food, shelter or water in this moment without looking at my wants "?""I usually notice that I have all I need for this very moment.
This is the state of being in gratitude I am okay because this is without wanting, and wanting has drama attached to it based on what I have and do not have. The is a huge story behind why I do and don't, and I am no longer held captive by my feelings or thoughts.
There is so much that I want to control, and there is an illusion that I can control circumstances in my life. "This too shall pass."
I love this saying!
Sometimes I go
about in pity for
and all the while
a great wind is bearing me
across the sky

Who is it in my head?
Who is in my head? This isn't a question regarding "insanity", but more of perception. Even further... who am I? Who is making the decisions in my life? I would like to think it's me, but I don't really think it is. All of the influences in my life that that have lead me to my life's perceptions were being formed by others. How do I know which religion fits me best? How do I know which political party to go with? How do I really know if the system is out to fuck us or not? Are people lying to me? I don't trust the government. I don't trust anyone. There is no god. This could also be a belief as simple as "I don't trust________" and you fill in the blank. All of these have been thoughts at one time or another for me. I think that those that have influence over me throughout my life are in fact partially responsible for my core beliefs, opinions, and judgements. I have written about this a few times before and wanted to look at this a little deeper. If I could see things stripped of all judgements and opinions what would I see? And would things in "life" still occur the same way they do now?
Without some of these beliefs, would I be as motivated in areas such as love or money? In both I perceive good and bad "judgement". My personal judgement of good and bad may be skewed as well.
Things that are good, or the things in life I identify as bad are moments in my life that are extreme in both ends of the spectrum. Or they are occurrences that left an impression. These impressions helped sculpt my behaviors that now are identified as good or bad to either protect (or sometimes anesthetize) the result of my interpretations of these beliefs. For me, these opposite extremes of belief have led me to many purposes in my life as well as many heart breaks. Beliefs about loneliness, love, and war, are all my interpretations of words based on beliefs that I have inherited either through community or self. Is any of this between my ears real? Were they manifested in or outside of my mind? They have been essential for my survival as well as the cause for my demise on many occasions.
So, who is in my head? I am a sum total of all of the influences in my life all the way back to the beginning. Those whom I have trusted listened to, and have invited into my life. It makes me wonder if there really is one original thought or idea... I tend to think that all I have in this existence is simply borrowed from the universe.
All of the messages in the spiritual realm have the same message just regurgitated or reworded. They all points to the same direction: looking inward understanding One's self and the interpretation of self.
So again, I ask, "Who am I?" I realize some of these limiting beliefs are the opportunity to collapse them through realization, acknowledgement, and exposing them for what they are. Then I can identify, where they come from.
"I respect your faith but doubt will give you an education" ~Wilson Misner
Doubting whether these beliefs are true takes long periods of self-examination. There is a process I use that we can go into later. However, let me leave you with this. Imagine playing a game of tennis. As you hit the ball coming toward you with all of your effort, it skips off the top of the net into your opponents area. Then he loads his backhand and hits the ball with tremendous force back to you. Now, what is your experience of the ball or the racquet? Can you be the ball as it is being hit, or the racquet as it strikes the ball? Can you experience pain, sadness, or rejection being hit away to somewhere else?
What beliefs were made up about the ball, racquet, or the game (win or lose)?
Who told you this action was even tennis? First, there had to be a shape of a ball then someone had to name it, and so on.. Sometimes our beliefs are playing a game of hide and seek; they are hidden. By exposing them, there is a way to leave them powerless that will lead to a new understanding of your self. This place of no interpretation or empty space can take something called catastrophe to something that just happened, as well as something like happiness from an occurrence. This provides a space for new interpretation.
These beliefs in my own life have lead to some very extreme and painful places, however they have also lead to some very beautiful ones.
Buddhism for me is doubting and questioning everything beliefs, life and even Buddhism itself. Not knowing that I have a choice in my beliefs is the most painful place for me, it's life on autopilot and I'm along for the ride.

Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance.[1] The term comes from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek: δρᾶμα, drama), which is derived from the verb meaning "to do" or "to act".
Exploring drama in my personal life, I have found that I have a very intimate relationship with drama. Drama to me could be anything from depression can't make the bills or my boss is an ass hole anything I have a complaint about including myself is drama. Doesn't matter if it is good or bad in my life I don't see that I like it because I hold on to it and won't let it go. It's a form of addiction for me. I own it as if it were a part of me. Which is sadly not true. Only the emotions and how I relate to them seem to be real.
. One thing I notice about drama is that it shares in the most incurable of all diseases in all of us which is the human condition. Drama is can lead us to a swinging pendulum of emotion from one moment to the next it can be a very subtle dialog or complaint we have with ourselves to an extreme reaction with circumstances beyond our control, or even complaints about others. I notice these complaints in my self whether it is with my self or defending my position in an argument or that conversation we are having with and about someone else when they are not even there. The feelings and emotions we have when events happen that we seen to have justified with a comment like "this just isn't fair" or why is this happening to me? Drama seems to be emotions based on circumstance and how we relate to them based on "beliefs" which will be a topic I will write about later. In short drama is one bipolar bitch sometimes. Most of life is spent avoiding this drama, as it usually has such a negative connotation.
Have you ever looked at the other side of drama, the upside or the romance of life and drama? In examining this personal love affair with my drama I have noticed a few things about her. She has swooned me through the best times of life and carried me through the worst times, adding so many rich and vibrant colors and even texture and depth. This drama I call my life is who I am, it is the very the substance of my existence. Whether it be economic drama, recession, depression- we all have a secret love affair with our drama. It identifies my life. It has forged my soul, my character, my desire to make a difference, as well as created pause for self inquiry. My hopes, dreams, and desires all cast from the fires of my drama. I live my life for my drama and those struggling moments where I choose to live, where I could have chosen to die. Let's celebrate the richness that you have brought me that allows me to show compassion to all those who have had a bitter falling out with their drama, not realizing just how important she is.
I think there can be a choice in drama it doesn't have to be debilitating There can be a different relationship with drama where you don't have to get buried or stuck in the mire again.
The question that is still unanswered is are you making a conscious choice and using the emotions created by this drama or are you simply along for the ride This is mostly where drama and the emotions get uncomfortable in our lives.
A useful exercise that I use regularly as a way to discover the drama in my life is a simple one.
As you go throughout your day notice the subtle language or judgments you make about yourself and others. More specifically with the self. The dialog that happens when you make a mistake at work how do you speak about yourself thoughts or words like "you are so stupid why did you do that". How do you speak to yourself about yourself and others. Notice the argument with a loved one or out in public and someone else makes a mistake that affects your life. This is a way to uncover the hiding places that cause drama. As you notice these thoughts also notice the emotions or feelings that come with them. This next part is a little harder,try not to interpret or judge them as good bad right or wrong try to observe them.
This is the Buddhism in drama.

Here are the changes from last week.
Probability of Republicans holding the Senate outright: 53.8%, up from 43.8%
Probability of a 50-50 split: 29.2%, down from 30.7%
Probability of the Democrats taking the Senate back: 18.0%, down from 25.5%
My algorithm currently is set up to follow ten close races. As of this week, there are only four I consider truly close and the Republicans are playing defense in all of them.
Probable Republican pick-up: Harry Reid is retiring and Republican Joe Heck has held a consistent slim lead in the polls for months now in the race to replace Reid.
Very likely Republican losses: Russ Feingold in Wisconsin and Tammy Duckworth in Illinois are strong favorites to gain two seats for the Democrats. This would mean a net gain of one for the Democrats and the GOP would still have 53 senators.
Very likely holds for both parties: There's currently very little drama in Missouri or Florida for the Republican incumbents and even less drama in Colorado for the Democratic incumbent.
The four close races:
Indiana: Very little polling here and the most recent poll has Evan Bayh with a very slender one point lead, down from four in September and seven in August. My system now puts him as a 61% to 39% favorite, down from 85% to 15% just last month.
Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and North Carolina: Many senate races have been polled only sporadically, but that is not true in these three states. In all three cases, there have been recent polls in favor of the Republican incumbents and others in favor of the Democratic challengers. Both Pennsylvania and North Carolina are flat-footed ties in my system and Kelly Ayotte's advantage in New Hampshire is about 51% to 49%. All three of these states are now in the Leaning Clinton camp. So far, the coattails on Hillary's pantsuits have been literally and figuratively very short.
Back tomorrow with news on the presidential race. Spoiler alert: all the competent aggregators agree on the general trend, though there is disagreement on the current odds.

A sweet couple from our church got married this weekend, so we made the drive to Ponca City to celebrate the fun occasion. Unfortunately, Kev had to work so I tagged along with some of our good friends. It was a fun trip even though it was short and sweet.
Ann and Omar's first dance as a married couple
Our sweet friends
Anna and Andrea-so thankful for you girls!
Also, I am now to the monumental halfway point of the pregnancy! I'd like to say the time has passed quickly, but it actually feels like I have been pregnant forever! I am excited to see my belly growing, but it definitely makes it difficult to find clothes to wear. It was an adventure to find a dress I felt cute in (key phrase) to wear to the wedding. I actually settled on a dress I bought at a garage sale last year for $1 that I had never worn before...I knew there was a reason I kept it. I'm so excited our sweet baby girl is growing!!
P.S. We tried to change locations today for the picture to get a clearer picture, but apparently we have no free walls that have good lighting in our house. Guess we'll have to settle for blurry pictures!
