Hey, I know this place... I Seee Youuuuuu...

Been a long time since I blogged. Being a Mommy cuts down time on some things. So this will be simple. Been on Facebook a lot- really liking FB as opposed to Myspace. NEVER liked Myspace. Really happy with finding all my old friends and classmates! It's WICKED AWESOME! LOL! (: Been taking care of my son and adapting to being a new mom. Life is simple and good, can't complain. I really want to get back to blogging but we will see how THAT goes!

First Haircut @ 9 Weeks Old!!!???

AMAZING! Yes, He has that much hair!

Your Guilty Musical Pleasure *CRINGE*

What or who would yours be? It has to make you want to cringe if you got caught listening to it by someone else, LOL! I'll give you one general and one specific of mine. 70's Disco and Boy George and Culture Club. Do share! ("Do you really want to hurrrrrt meeee, Do you really want to make me cryyyy...")

NKOTB or Fulfilling My Biological Imperative

"Biological imperatives are the needs of living organisms required to perpetuate their existence: to survive. Included are the following hierarchy of logical imperatives for a living organism: Survival, territorialism, competition, reproduction, quality-of-life-seeking, group-forming."- Wikipedia.

Gotta love science. To me he is a miracle. Period. I never thought I'd be able to have a child. In my younger days I'd thought about it as one does and assumed It'd be easy when the time came to procreate and pass on the love and traditions I was raised on. Years of frustration, pain, anger and sadness passed. Until I was in my doctors asking for a tubal ligation- not knowing I was sitting there pregnant at the time. I had finally given up hope and resigned myself to the fact I'd be childless. Yet, there I was- 10 days later taking a pregnancy test and falling off my chair at the results. (NOTE: 5 days after finding out I was pregnant, I fell off a step and broke my foot. LMAO! Talk about good luck! "Break a leg!") Then full of fear at the thought of repeating past results. One Amnio later and I got the news I had prayed for- No abnormalities and My child was a boy! AMA and diabetic, I managed to keep him and myself safe. Life has a way, yes? And here is mine. My beautiful son made it through the impossible and dangerous and into life. Incredible, amazing, beautiful, awe inspiring. My imperative.

Have you hugged your Karma today?

It seems to me that some people tempt fate more often these days. The "It can't/won't happen to me." statement type people. These persons are then surprised when they are hit by a bus, struck by lightning, bitten by an infected mosquito, taste tested by a shark or dying from the flu. I'm not saying live in fear and toss a block of salt over your shoulder, but perhaps be a bit more cautious instead of tempting fate. Maybe be a tad more alert and proactive: Don't walk on the side of a busy road, stay in out of the rain, squirt yourself with bug spray, don't swim in chum AND for heavens sakes! Get the darn flu shot! Sneeze into your elbow pit! Wash your hands! You know, it's called p-r-e-v-e-n-t-i-o-n! I ask you again- Have you hugged your Karma today?

Well. Time to Hokey. *SIGH*

I've been away for far too long. Just LOOK at all this DUST!

Ok, ok... I know I need to play some catch up here. Bear with me...

First Accumulating Snow of the Season! 2.5 inches!

Oh Deer, what can the matter be?

If you're squeamish? Don't look! Oh well! This is life. Some idiot jacked a doe across from us one Sunday night not too long ago. Got chased off before he could drag her off. Such a sad thing to happen. She was one of a pair of does I had been watching. Beautiful. I called them my girls. Well, DNR and the local police were called. They keep watch now and again in the field. We ended up getting the doe, her life wasn't wasted. In these hard times she'll feed us. I DO NOT like hunting for sport, but I do believe in hunting for food and keeping the herd down- it keeps them healthy and people fed. We've killed off the natural predators, so it's up to us to manage them. *SIGH*

Commercial Break?

Nah, just been busy and had nothing clever to say! Hmmm. Getting together a costume. Yep. Actually going to have a life on Halloween night. A party even. Going to go as a Jester. Just got the fabric for it today as a matter of fact and need a belt, got the bells. I have a jester hat, got some funky false eyelashes, makeup and nail polish. Need to kick the shoe idea around a bit more (ha, ha) and get some leggings/hose/tights/fishnets. Almost did the harlequin thingy, but had the jester already. Here's to hoping it all comes out the way I picture it!

Rocknrolla!!!

I HEART Gerard Butler! And I also loved Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Still need to see Revolver and the others. Guy Ritchie makes cult classics. So this is a bonus for me! I am sooooo using our free tickets to see this!!! Can't WAIT!

Wrap it up, I'll take it.

Jimi Thing
Lately I've been feeling low A remedy is what I'm seeking Take a taste of what's below Come away to something better What I want is what I've not got But what I need is all around me Reaching searching never stop And I'll say...
If you could keep me floating just for a while 'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy If you could keep me floating just for a while I'll get back to you
Take a Jimi Thing Just to keep me swingin' I'd like to show you what's inside I shouldn't care if you don't like it Brother chaos rules all about Sometimes I walk there Sometimes, God knows, I take a bus there I shouldn't care I shouldn't care bereaved as I'm feeling
Day is gone I'm on my back Staring up at the ceiling I take a drink sit back relax Smoke my mind makes me feel Better for a short time What I want is what I've not got What I need is all around me Reaching searching never stop And I'll say
If you could keep me floating just for a while 'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy If you could keep me floating just for a while I'll get back to you

*SIGH* Of course they don't sit in lyric format. But these are the CORRECT lyrics off Dave's page.

The Green Thumb Project

Did some fall cleanup. Pulled out the ratty looking cuke plants and managed to lug 50 lbs. of peat moss to throw down over everything. The advantage of that is it's hiding the beating my flowers took when the menfolk worked on the house siding. My poor garden was mangled! I just wanted to get the moss down and seriously watered before the torrential rains we are going to get for 3 days. Hmmph. Next, later today, I'm going to have to go cover the fish pond with some screens to keep all the leaves and crap out. Wondering if I should buy more fish food or not. It's important to keep them fat so they can make it through winter. So I guess I'll be getting food when I head to Petco today. Sad it's fall in a way. The plants are doing well, still green and pretty. It will be bittersweet to see everything die down for winter. But at least I have a good start for next year. Picked some tomatoes, they are putting out like crazy still. Just puttering around today.

LOVE this movie! 2 thumbs up. Try to catch it on TV or rent it!

My pirate name just happens to be Filthy Jan Drake. (:

I first heard about Talk Like a Pirate Day reading Dave Barry's column (http://www.miamiherald.com/283/story/100129.html). You just gotta love Dave! It's a day to be silly running around spouting ARRR's! and to avast this and that while wearing an eyepatch. Take advantage of it! This day of days was a grassroots effort that spread like wildfire, partly fueled by Dave's article and mostly through the persistence of these salty sea dogs, John Baur and Mark Summers. ARRRRR! Here's how it all started, it's actually a good read: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/about.html
