forget the actual spanking...

okay, this is a totally weird way to build "camaraderie" among co-workers, spanking them, having them wear diapers and be fed baby food.... whatEVER.

but the thing that really kills me is the fact that this woman's lawyer, in this msnbc video, is completely... vapid! not to mention the lack of fire for the case itself! good lord. his first 4 or 5 responses are... does he even know what he's supposed to be doing? who picked him out? crikey.

for the record...

and since the question has come up...
this does not refer to me....

(why are my people reading this bunk anyway? stupid charlie and denise crap... who cares?)

s'about time someone figured out a solution!

reminder for those moments of self-pity

the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

muuuusgaaaaaahs!

i think my sister might be the only one who knows what the title of this particular blog entry means, not to mention what it actually sounds like.
so sis, i hope you're reading this, otherwise it was a waste of a memory. :)
anyway, was at the animal shelter today doing some work and since kitten season is in full swing, i had the pleasure of seeing a few litters of newly/recently born kitties. one group of which is pictured here. aren't they adORable? sigh. looking forward to my next fostering opportunity.....

anniversary of smobriety

yes, my lovelies. as of today i have been 100% completely smoke free for 2 years. pretty pleased with myself. there have been plenty of people in my life over the years who never thought i would make it a week let alone 2 whole frickin' years. of course, none of them are you, cause i EXPELLED them from my life of positivity... :)
at any rate, happy to say i haven't had a single puff and even though i do still think of it, do still have the occasional craving.... i am oh-so-glad that my life is no longer run by the demands of nicotine.

that being said... if they figure out a way to smoke that won't kill me.... i'll be first in line for a drag, dammit!

negative energy

you know how sometimes no matter how positive a thinker you are, no matter how strongly you believe in the things you do or say, no matter how truthfully you choose to live your life, sometimes negative energy gets in anyway? it creeps through the barriers, seeps in from the world around you, breaks into your heart little by little.

this was happening to me for a little while, and it's so frustrating to feel what's happening, know in your head that it's a bunch of b.s. that is just rooting around for your achilles' heel, and still not really be able to completely control it.

something about visualized meditation helps me a lot, meaning while in a meditative posture i do deep breathing stuff~in with the light, out with the dark. and i think that, combined with giving myself time to feel the stuff, deal with it, and decide to expel it is what does the trick for me. unfortunately you can't always just plop down in the middle of your life and blow the black energy from your body.

anyway... get to it as soon as possible though, really. the people around you will thank you. :)
