Feeling much better, I just needed sleep!!!
With my puppy having surgery, I was worried about him and he's doing great but whines at night because I put a cone on him so he won't lick his stitches. Keeps me up but when I do sleep I know he's OK.
Briana sleeps through anything. She got that from her dad. He once slept through a tornado. I got up, grabbed Briana, she was a baby then, and got things in order because I knew it was coming. I had stuff all set to go. Her dad slept right through the damn thing. The house shook and it stormed pretty bad.
We had to go into town a little later on that day and he was like what the hell happened. There was this huge satellite dish in the road, trees pulled up at the roots, and all I could do was look at him and say, "You slept through the storm." Not the first one that he slept through. He also slept through an earthquake, go figure!! He probably slept through most of our marriage. I'm making a funny:P
Hoping it's going to be as nice as the weather man is predicting. Saying it's going to be 61 tomorrow. I can open windows and clean, clean, clean!!! I want to smudge my home on the first. So here's to hoping for great weather!!!
It's Sunday, yippee, lol!! Briana is out with friends. She's on spring break.
It's noon and I'm still in my pajamas. It's a lazy day or I don't really give a shit, haven't decided.
Yoga later on with friends and she wants to do a reading on me...Yoga yes, Reading, I want a past life reading just to see what kind of mambo jumbo I got into..was I as fucked up in another life because this life I'm totally out there and not really sure where I'm headed.
This weekend has been different. I'm not quite myself, can't you tell? I'm usually cheerful and chipper and nothing gets to me but yeah I'm being bitchy and outside of this box, I'm being facetious. Lots going on and well serious in nature but I just laugh it off...
What the hell is up with me????????????
Daughter starts spring break. I actually like the guy she's been hanging out with, he's a good match for her.
Rain in the forecast and it's making my driveway an obstacle course, really need to pave it or have concrete poured, not sure which one I want.
Squirrels are playing under the pine trees and birds have been in the walnut tree. I realize I am boring, lol.
Might go ball gown browsing this weekend. I want something eye catching and head turning, oh wait, I have that necklace, http://www.vampfangs.com/bed-of-blood-roses-necklace/
The necklace was a gift and now for the pleasure of finding a gown to match this necklace for a vampire ball..
Cats and boxes, what gives? I cannot have a box for the life of me. I have a package that I need to send out but I'm getting my friend more stuff and then I'll pack it and ship it but my cats decided they like it as their home, lol.
Also milk rings, I don't have to buy toys, they love milk rings. I get more entertainment watching them play with this milk ring than I do going out, I guess I'm just one sad character, lol
Movie weekend, Bri starts spring break Friday so going to see a few movies this weekend and some other stuff, not sure what but it'll come to me
COMMENTS
Wow, that gives the term 'Box Pussy' a whole new meaning...LOL....Enjoy your movies!
Kopi is currently trying to squeeze into an earring box!
Wow, an earring box, that's crazy!!!!
LOL Lord!!!
I have a puzzle box that one of the cats loves sleeping in.
I had to bring the dog crate up from the basement because our little guy had surgery and just won't leave the other dog alone so we put him in the crate. I took him out this morning and now the cats are lounging in the crate and on top of the crate, crazy cats!!
I don't care!!! Or better yet Who the fuck cares, lol!!!
Woke up in a great mood!! My dog got fixed this morning, picking him up at 5. My other dog is moping because she missed the Dude a lot.
I've been on this site for more years than I care to admit but since it's on my profile, yeah it's a lot, not as many as others but still a lot. With that said, I have made some good friends but what is up with guys hitting on me now, I'm still the same person that signed up years ago, although, I look better, I age well, someone compared me to fine wine, I laughed but OK, I'm not conceited. Just wondering what is up with all the phone numbers in my message box and so on and so forth...stop already!!!
I dislike my loan company. I had one company and they sold it to another and have all my information wrong, legal representation in the works...Let me do their job, it would get done, they're stupid!!!
Daughter has spring break next week and graduates soon, craziness for the next few months with graduation party plans and Easter, I am pagan but celebrate Easter with my family, it's the day after Bri's birthday, fun weekend NOT! LOL!!!
Michigan is a really messed up state, if you're thinking of moving here, DON'T!! The job outlook is scarce!!
Pot holes that can eat cars, great just great!!!
Men I find attractive:
1. Roman Reigns (Joe Anoa'i)
2. Joe Manganiello
3. Clay Matthews
4. Peter Steele (Yes I know he's deceased but still was good looking)
5. Jim Morrison (another deceased but attractive man)
I am invited to an Origami Owl party. I had to ask what that was. I am so out of things. Last week it was a Pampered Chef party, there's one tonight I'm invited to as well, that's just going to be a drunk fest though, not going.
Not sure about the Origami Owl party. I don't wear much jewelry. I'll keep thinking about it!!
COMMENTS
Instead of asking what it is ask Whoo Whoo hehe
I am not understanding the obsession with owls. Yes, I like them, but they are EVERYWHERE! It is a very interesting trend, I must say.
I thought it had to do with owls, there were only a couple of owl jewelry there. I didn't like the jewelry, I'm not a big jewelry person.
I like owls but I don't go out and buy owl stuff, lol
I'm confident not conceited, there is a very big difference, remember that!!!
Have so much to do this weekend. Prom comes first, got Bri's dress already. Then graduation, have a list of people to invite, thinking on food, will probably have it catered. Now for the venue, well having it here I think since the house and yard is big enough to accommodate or there's a park down the road. Talked with the secretary of the township, there are very few openings but that day is open, will decide this weekend.
Still awaiting test results, no one likes a waiting game but I am patient, that's one of my many good qualities.
Going to the meat market today, going to get some more elk and emu, maybe some buffalo. I'm stocked up on fish but rather have the elk, it's really good.
Beer sticks sound awesome right now!! Going to get two dozen of those babies.
Drew up the garden plans this morning, what will be put where and how many. Going to start those seeds soon, need to buy a couple of flats today while I'm out and some potting soil. I don't have enough. I guess it pays to be a farmer's daughter:-)
Doing a research paper on the Teutonic Knights. Hoping to finish that by Sunday.
Moved my printer/scanner so that I can scan my stories for someone to read. I reread them and laughed but hey I was a kid.
Hoping all that read this entry have a great weekend!!! Blessed Be!!!!!
OOPS, Happy Spring Equinox!!!! May your spring be filled with love, joy, and happiness. It's a time for rebirth and new beginnings:-0)
Name calling is so childish, I'm above and beyond that, I've been called so many things throughout my life, so what's one more thing, lol.
Oh do I have an ego, everyone has an ego and WOW, a woman who shows confidence and independence really pisses some men off, especially those who see a dominant woman as a threat, get used to it, I'm here to stay and I don't play nice with guys like you, you see women as objects and trophies, I'm not an object to be owned or manipulated, call me all the names you want, you're just pissed because I wouldn't PLAY with you!!!!!!!!!!
COMMENTS
Please be confident, and independent. These are prized rare attributes these days. So is a journalist. You are all that, and there is no need to apologize for it!
Waiting for test results really sucks!!! I had multiple tests done and I have to wait a month before I get the results. I am praying for the best. It's all I can do but if things turn out to be different, well I'm a fighter and there is no way I'm going to give in without a fight!!!!
Why do I feel awkward with someone that I shouldn't feel awkward with? It's baffling to me.
I have known this person for a very, very long time and yet I cannot get myself to ask questions that need to be asked or bring up things that need to be addressed. It's driving me insane...maybe I'll just write a letter, I'm good at writing...because talking with this person in a serious manner feels really weird!!
~~News Flash~~
I interrupt the regular VR bickering with this news bulletin
Zoraya Aurora has a sense of humor:P
Sometimes you just have to say fuck it and just laugh about things..
It was confirmed tonight it was Terry Trafford's body in the truck, my heart goes out to his family, friends, and teammates, this blows!! Suicide is not the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Rich Peverly of the Dallas Stars is OK.
As for the Saginaw Spirit player that ended up missing, his vehicle was found at the local WalMart and there is a body inside. His girlfriend was at the scene and the police had to pick her up and place her somewhere, she was crying hysterically. So yeah I think it was the player, Terry Trafford.
My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. He was let go by the team because of breaking rules, I heard he had an illegal substance on him.
I am not liking this week at all, my friend's son and now an OHL player. Both had bright futures but addiction and drug use can happen to anyone in any walk of life...
A friend of mine lost her son over the weekend and words cannot express the sorrow and the pain I feel for her.
I could not imagine losing my daughter, I would be devastated. It's going to be a long week!!!
Prayers and thoughts, candles, incense lit, all I can do is try to be there for her if she needs me
There are two books I am currently reading:
The Paleo Approach: Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body by Sarah Ballantyne, PhD
The other is Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland, it's just a refresher for me.
The first book I mentioned is very interesting and was recommended by my best friend who also has Hashimotos Thyroiditis. I'm already gluten free or so I thought, hahaha. I have celiac disease another autoimmune disease and upon reading the first chapter in this book and reading up on the forum at the Hashimoto website, I am finding that the other foods I eat are cross-reactive.
What does that mean??? Well, I have eliminated gluten from my diet, I am and have had allergic reactions to wheat, barley, rye, and even hops. I cannot drink beer, I get very, very ill. Never knew why until I was diagnosed with celiac way before it became a popular term. We're talking about the mid 90s here.
Now my body thinks dairy products because of the casein protein found in milk, yogurt, whey protein is gluten and therefore, my body reacts to it in a negative way.
I have been enlightened by this and have determined to give this Paleo diet a try. The Paleo diet is anything that is hunted or grown with some exceptions. I haven't gotten that far in the book but when I do I will post more.
I have whey protein, two tubs of it and I drink a shake each morning when I get up. I often feel sickly towards the afternoon and always thought that was A. My thyroid because I'm sluggish here and there, not all the time but sometimes or B. My blood disease, Alpha Thalassemia creeping in.
What is Alpha Thalassemia? In a nutshell as explained to me, Alpha thalassemia is a blood disorder that reduces the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells throughout the body.
I was diagnosed with this when I was an infant. I had a sister that died from the same condition. Ironically, my brother does not have this nor any other diseases I have mentioned here. He does have psoriasis which is another autoimmune disease.
Alpha is OK. I have dealt with being anemic and I crave bloody steak a lot and yes I have had human blood in a transfusion and by a mate.
So after I get to the diet portion of this book, I will post more in my journal. If I can help anyone that has either Celiac or a thyroid issue, I'll be happy to pass along information in hopes of making someone else feel better.
When I was first diagnosed with Celiac, there was no one I could turn to. No one else in my family has it. I had to learn on my own, it was difficult at times and I would cry and get pissed off but then I said OK, no more, I did finally figure things out and I started feeling better but now I feel like I've been eating gluten again so when finding out about the dairy and other foods being cross-reactive, warning flags went up...this will be an ongoing process and I will be journaling throughout this new journey I am undertaking!!
I guess things could be a lot worse than they are.
Briana didn't get hurt and material things can be replaced. It just sucks about the insurance going up and the ticket because if the judge doesn't like her explanation, she'll have to fork out $150, better yet, I'll have to give over that money...
But I have my baby girl, I have my health, and I have other things that make life meaningful. A car doesn't make life meaningful, it just helps get me to work, and Briana to school...:-)
Feeling a bit better now after a rocky morning. Briana is doing much better, as well.
Going to check out a couple of vehicles to replace this one.
Have a package on its way, some books I ordered, excited to get the one about the Paleo Approach.
Got some new incense and I like it, it's OCEAN, smells really good.
Hopefully, the night will bring peace and relaxation because I am tense, going to work on my chakras when Bri is done with her game. I have Depak Chopra's Leela game that works with the chakras, I love the game, not many do, however.
Briana was in a car accident this morning. She was rear ended in front of neighbor's driveway. However, Briana got the ticket.
It's going to be contested!! If Bri was truly at fault and the ticket is for failure to yield, then she would have been hit in the side not ass packed.
The girl that hit her is a friend of Bri's. Both girls are fine but I seriously think the girl was speeding and texting and wasn't paying attention. Briana said her car was three driveways down.
Let me explain where I live, I live in the country, our driveways, neighbors, etc are not close together so when she says 3 driveways away, that's a clear distance and she was hit not in front of our driveway but down at the neighbors so this is a clue and we have a case that we can definitely win.
The officer says to me, thanks for respecting me, WTF??? As if I would disrespect anyone??? Crazy ass morning, crazy ass small town.
I need a city that is diverse, this country living is good, don't get me wrong, no one bugs me for the most part but it's the small mindedness of some.
The girl called her dad, her dad knows the sheriff, imagine that. I was outside with my daughter too but I don't spend my time in town or around town, I have other things going on and my daughter isn't into sports so that's also something to figure into.
I'm not saying that my daughter isn't totally innocent in this, if indeed the car was closer, well I can't wrap my head around that because she would have been hit in the front or the side but she was hit in the rear and my vehicle is totaled as is the girl's so she was also speeding!!!
It's not a great day but at least Briana is OK if not shaken up. Accidents happen so I am thankful that she wasn't hurt but ticked off at the sheriff for giving the wrong girl the ticket so now I have to go to the courthouse with Briana within the next 14 days and contest this and yeah my insurance will go up regardless:(
COMMENTS
Did they get pictures before the cars were moved?
Unfortunately, I was told no. He wanted my vehicle moved right away because it's a two lane road and it was blocking traffic.
However, the sheriff did tell me he wouldn't have a problem with me contesting the ticket which my daughter did. It's going to court
Wow the majority of the time if one gets hit from the rear, it's the other driver's fault. Even if one slams on breaks, they would say that the other driver may have been following too close therefore failing to be able to respond in time...I would've contested that too. Happy no one was hurt though.
Wow, glad she's okay sorry about the car and dang that sucks with the ticket. You gotta contest it left to stand it will kill your and her insurance rates. There are always someone who knows someone, no matter the size of the town. :(

COMMENTS
ROTFL
He can't spell worth a damn either. :)
I know
ABRUPT MUCH! I'de like to see someone try that in public.
Dabbler, I know, I mean show some respect, they wouldn't be like that in public so why do this on this site or anywhere else on the Internet for that matter
I think I need to go hit the bag for a good hour. I am edgy, I want to bite some 23 year old's head off.
She was attacking me about my being a witch, she says, Prove that you are....Well, my dear, I don't have to prove anything.
She came back with well I know real witches, it's in my blood. Your point????
I am German, born and bred, my mother's family had to trace their genealogy for generations when Hitler was in power. They had to prove they were pure and in the findings well, yeah there's things in my blood line too but I would never ask anyone to prove who or what they are, that's just you being young and dumb and me being the wise old owl...
This person isn't on this site, or maybe she is, if she reads this, hopefully she will think twice before asking others to prove themselves because there are a lot of witches on this site that would not take this lightly
Restless night, had a lengthy conversation and I'll just leave it at that.
Every one of my animals are on the bed with me. It's a lazy day. No work, no projects, today is good!!! I got my work done yesterday for the whole week.
Been asked to meet with a guy my mom knows to discuss the paranormal. He is a film maker. He attends care giver meetings that my mom goes to.
Should be interesting. He's interested in what I have to say on the subject. When I see him, because I attend the big to do things with my mom, he always asks me questions on the paranormal as well as other things. After all, i am well educated and can hold my own with an older crowd, always could.
I finally told Mr. X that I had feelings for him that go beyond the like category. I can't truly say I am in love because for me, those words are spoken in haste too often and if anything, I am not hasty. I know some of you are shaking your head, thinking NO SHIT!!! Hahahahahaha!!!
I like taking my time with things, I know it bores people, I told you I'm quite boring, I am a thrill seeker but a different kind of thrill then sex and fantasy, seriously, try bungy jumping, sky diving, base jumping, these give you the same affects as falling in love, and by the way, I don't like to date guys that have been all over the community, so to speak, it gives me the EEEEEWWWWW factor!!
I prefer a man who isn't hasty and I have met one and I like it. I don't feel obligated, pressured, or pushed into anything. I can be me and he can be himself, it's great!!! Some people should try that for a change, might end up working, who knows!!!
Bri had ACTs today so she got out at 12:30. We went to the thrift store and she found some albums (Vinyl) to add to her collection.
We then went shopping other places. Found a sweater dress marked from $26 to $2 and some wall hangings marked down to $2.25. Got a couple of them for Bri, Sixteen Candles, and Pink Ladies.
Got some bananas, wanted dates but they were all out (WTF) also got cough drops just in case we decide to play RockBand again, lol.
Fell in love with this off white lacey dress but I think I'm too old for it but it would look great on Briana.
I'm wearing my Ghost Busters shirt and yoga pants. I'm comfy today. No makeup on and my hair is in every direction, hahahaha, curly hair, got to love it, a straightener is my friend but I don't straighten my hair everyday.
Dogs are sleeping, cats are playing, chasing each other down the hall and back.
My laundry is done, dishes are done, it's snowing again...blah!!
Snowing again, blizzard conditions.
Bri has ACTs, will be home soon, hope she's OK to drive in this crap, it's really coming down hard today.
Think Andraste is pregnant. It's OK, I have friends that want puppies. This will be her only litter though. Dooley is scheduled to get neutered. Andraste will get fixed afterwards that's for sure. Just haven't been able to get to the vet sooner, unfortunately. Had to save money for this, with the film on hiatus, my funds are limited but I'm OK, bills are getting paid, I am happy about that.
Savannah looks intriguing, Winter Park, Florida does as well since my university is there...
Will this snow ever end??? I know it will but good grief!!!
Talked with a friend this morning. She lives in Montreal. She has a thyroid problem like I do. She's very active into sports like I used to be. She has energy issues too. In Montreal she found a clinic that works with autoimmune diseases and they're doing a full workup on her. I am thankful she is getting help and she has passed some information onto me.
She was the first one to tell me about Hashimoto hypothyroidism. If it wasn't for my dearest friend, I'd still be at square one. My doctor found that I have a goiter and because of this, I no longer sing. I am on medication and some days are great and others are shit. I do get tired from time to time.
Now onto my diet, I cut out gluten foods a very, very long time ago before celiac disease was a common thing. When I was diagnosed, I was still young. I am allergic to wheat, barley, rye, and hops, no beer drinking for me. Sadly, I used to like beer but would be very sick after drinking it, go figure. They have gluten free beer, it tastes like shit!!
Thankfully, I can still drink wine, vodka, rum, and Southern Comfort:-P
Back to the diet and what my friend and I discussed. She has been reading up on things since her case is extreme, she was bleeding out of her ears, she was critical and they worked fast to get her back to "normal" the Paleo diet was suggested. Primitive man ate what they could hunt or find growing, nothing processed, they didn't have that back then. So this is what I am going to try to see if it helps me and my friend is doing it too. Having a thyroid issue/autoimmune disease fucking sucks!! I already have celiac disease and the goiter so my body is trying to get back to when it was healthy.
I exercise so that's a plus. Doing this Paleo diet won't be much of a drastic change since I don't eat processed food other than drinking a glass of milk or eating yogurt but the Paleo diet suggests not having dairy. I don't have my book yet but when I do, I will add things to my journal.
My purpose in life is to help people and if I can make a difference in a person's life, I'll be content!!!
If anyone reading this has questions, message me, I can give you some information. There is a great hashimoto site, hashimotos411.com
On this site is great information!!!! Good Luck and Blessed Be!!
~~ZA~~
Who texts people at 6 AM??? I wasn't even awake yet but of course, the light saber going off woke me, actually thought I was in the movie at first, hahahaaha.
It was a nice message though, a very good morning to you too but I wasn't awake yet!!! I had a few good morning texts already:-P I love my friends and the special someone that creeped into my life and makes me feel wonderful!!
Now that I am fully awake, I need to get my butt in gear!!!
Had more snow but the roads cleared up enough during the afternoon that Bri and I went shopping.
Bought her a couple of books, got me a book, and then got some groceries.
Went into a store called $5 Below to see what they had, Bri got a phone case and I got a Yoga mat, my old mat has seen its better days. In this store they have a OuiJa board rip off called Wee-Ji. We laughed, the things people come up with.
Now that I'm home I'm whipped. Going to crash soon!!
Oscars are on but recording it for Bri. She's got ACTs this week.
Life is great, I know I complain about the weather because well, snow sucks after the first month.
Registration for school is in a couple more months and I am excited to finish this degree and move on to the next adventure.
I am also very pleased with Mr. X. I am happy we are taking our time getting to know each other and we talk every day. He's a great guy and he fits my personality really well, he's not like me in many ways but we share similar interests and that's very cool.
Briana has swollen tonsils and was put on a steroid. Hopefully, this will help her heal. I have also sent healing energy her way.
Now if I could only get the nuisance friend I have to stop annoying me with mega texts every 5 minutes asking me about spells and rituals. I don't know how many times I can answer the same question over and over without losing my temper. The Goddess help me get through this situation. I am laughing because one spell does not make a witch, hahaha. She has a lot to learn, sad but true. It's really sad, she's 6 years younger than me but acts like she's 12, ugh!!!
I do care for her, she is a friend so I try to help her the best I can but even Mr. X says I'm too nice, it's true I am. But I don't like treating people like shit, there's too many out there that do and thankfully none of them are my friends on here or in the real world, have no need for it!!
Blessed Be!!
Forever Dixie: A Field Guide to Southern Cemeteries and Their Residents
I love cemeteries. This is a pretty good book. It gives GPS coordinates of where the cemeteries are.
Last night while out and about, I came across a cemetery in the middle of a subdivision. It was oddly placed with park benches. It was a small cemetery. It was closed but I will check it out when weather permits.
As far as the book goes, if you love cemeteries and want to go venturing into some, it's very cool, tells the history and some of the residents and gives coordinates.
COMMENTS
Sounds great. Elvira and I love visiting cemeteries on our road trips.
I like visiting cemeteries as well and that is why I checked out the book:-)
Sounds great...I need to check it out
RD, Please do!!!
