A Little Quiet

Peppermint, An Analytical Discussion
This is how my mind works, when I become obsessed with something I think about why, so here’s the break down of why I think I’m so obsessed with peppermint. Speaking of peppermint, which from here on out will be called Food of the Gods (FOG)…ev...
Austin’s House of Fish and Fur
If you hear me complain about money this month it’s my own dang fault! Here’s what happened. You know how you see something you’ve been wanting for a bit but you didn’t get it because the price wasn’t right….by not...
What’s With The Mouse Theme?
There’s no denying it, I’m a huge flirt. Yesterday I went to the pet store to get fish supplies for my two buggers as seen in this drawing here. While I was there a beautiful young woman walked in with a snake around her shoulders. She wa...
Random Friday: Chunky Candy Bar
In October I was able to pick up several bags of left over Halloween chocolate candy disks. Some were dropped in hot coffee, some were dipped in peanut butter and the rest were made into homemade Chunky candy bars first created by the Nestle company....
Blog Catalog Thinks I’m Evil
I wanted to see what my score is on Blog Catalog. To my surprise it was 66.6. Boy, it’s a good thing I’m not superstitious and that I understand what the number 666 means. If I didn’t I might have some serious issues with my curren...
Envirascape Water Fountain
I saved a buck so I could go to Disabled American Veterans, the best second hand store in the world. Guess what I got for one dollar today? I got a brand new Homedics Envirascape water fountain that was still wrapped in the original plastic with the...
Errors
There are errors on the main part of my dot com which may at some point begin to cause issues with this area. I just wanted to send a heads up if it does. At this time the art area is down....
A Little Step
I refused to have another day like Friday and Saturday so I took to my sketch diary and mocked my lack of artistic inspiration. Here’s one piece from the series. This is me sitting in my undies at the table waiting for some ray of inspiration t...
PJ’s with Flair
Sock Monkey house slippers and plaid Joe Boxer PJ’s. If you’re gonna lounge you might as well do it with flair. I got the slippers (and the PJ bottoms) at Disabled American Veteran’s Thrift Store for a buck each. I’ve had th...
Weird Day
. shots by Fife Junior The necklace is something I purchased for myself this month. It’s a tiny little sunflower. It’s been a weird day. My therapy session was weird too. I feel rather …. well, weird....
Fire and Books
It’s nasty cold right now and still raining which means it’s a fireplace and book kind of day. I’m going to put some soup in the crockpot, toss on my favorite snuggle sweater and hop in the Lazy-Boy. The dog will be at my feet, the ...
How Low Can I Go?
My self esteem is at an all time low. Having a date doesn’t help that either. I’m so nervous I can’t see straight. After I asked her out (yeah, I actually did that. I never do that) I all but ran out of the store and hid. I nearly t...
Gratitude Monday: The Good Stuff
There’s good stuff and here it is: I’m thankful for Gus’ soft ears and wagging tail. I believe the addition of a wagging happy tail is a blessing all on its own. He’s happy with the most simple things. He’s always willing to ...
I’m Bringing Sexy Back
For a long time I’ve said I don’t have an issue with being a girl with meat on her bones … that is until someone wants me to take my clothes off. That’s when I think to myself, oh man this isn’t good. They’re going to be grossed out. I ha...
Gunk
It’s Random Memory Friday ladies and gents. So here goes……. I can’t remember the last time I woke up without a bunch of gunk in my sinuses or remember the last time I blew my nose without seeing excess nicotine. I know I just ...
Your Fears Erased
I ran across this photograph today and was immediately taken by it. The concept is without a doubt powerful and provocative so I thought I’d use it in an entry. Some of the words and phrases that appear several times are: failure, no hope, dyi...
Cessation Diary
I’m still out here. Today is day 6 of not smoking. My brain felt fried the first two days. It was fried but I wasn’t anxious like yesterday and today. In order to deal with it I kept my hands busy and doodled. I am not paperless. I didn&#...
Site Difficulties
I apologize for the inconvenience but the website is experiencing difficulties. I hope to have them fixed and resume blogging very soon. Thank You, Faith...
I Am, I Can
Dr. D says I have been more reactive to the Fife’s lately. I agreed. They seem to really get under my skin in a huge way. They get to me so much so that I have to remind myself of a few things: I don’t have to show them how to set better bounda...
There’s Never A Good Time
Therapy thoughts and review for 9/9/09 Yesterday morning I talked to Dr. D on the phone then went to see my psychiatrist. I usually don’t work well with women providers but it seems this one will work out fine. I’ve had one other female p...
Oh Ma Lord My Prayers Have Been Answered
In about a week this house will go digital with Wi Fi as well as dish TV. I’m about to get ESPN y’all. I may not be heard from for days, perhaps weeks depending on what the season is. Golf, tennis and soccer season may mean this blog sits...
Fearless
Colbie Caillat – Fearless This girl’s voice blows me away. Lyrics are here: Fearless If that’s the way you love You’ve got to learn so much If that’s the way you say goodbye And this is how it ends And I’m alrig...
In Fertile Soil
As a child we moved almost every year, sometimes twice each year. By the time I finished high school I’d been to 14 different schools. We moved a lot! Mostly we moved to avoid social services but there were other reasons too, many of which I don’...
Preparations
I’ve been preparing myself for an eventual move. I don’t know when I’ll be able to move but I am at least making plans so that I can move without too many difficulties. Dr. D asked me today if I’m actively seeking other housin...
Morning Mishaps
Yesterday morning I got up and prepared myself for therapy. I had coffee, fed the critters and jumped in the shower. Just as I was headed out the door I thought to myself, oh my gosh I only shaved one underarm. I check and yup, only one underarm. I w...
Therapy Fears and Thoughts
Dr. D, I fear I’ll walk into therapy, take what feels like forever to sit down and you’ll roll your eyes and sigh, “Here we go again.” I worry you’ll think I’m harping on being in pain. I worry you’ll tire of...
Don’t Really Know
I don’t know that there’s a theme to this entry, it’s just a collection of thoughts. I’m happy my therapist will be back on Monday. I haven’t called the babysitter therapist he left for me and more than likely won’...
Someone To Watch Over Me
Dr. D will be on vacation for a week. Usually I don’t have issues when my therapist leaves but I’m not in the best possible space so he got me a baby sitter while he’s gone. I was invited to come in to see the babysitter but I told ...
Lights Out
Yesterday Indiana got 3.8 inches of rain. It rained all day long. There were downed trees, power lines, and flooding everywhere. The lightening was incredible, so much so that Fife Junior moved from the garage into the second bedroom upstairs. That m...
