 |   I am finding my stride and living life in a world filled with chaos and change. |
  And here's my Simpsonized picture...  and my daughter, Baba. Isn't she cute?  Actually, I need to upload the whole family, just for the heck of it sometime. Then, I'll always have them right here with me.  This journal forced itself into being because I loathe, no, I mean, I love to write. It is a struggle to state what I am thinking inside so a daily blog is just what I need. Not because I want to, I must. My thoughts are begging to be heard before they are lost in the caverns of my mind.  |
| Well, I finally am doing something I feel is of import...I'm learning a new language...German, no less! I'm pretty stoked over doing this and I've been on track no for the past 52 days! My husband realized I'm quite serious about it and now I've added French to the menu!  WEll, guten noch to you! |
Wow! There is A LOT of dust in this area...whew wheeee!  Some of it hit me in the eyes too...so what am I doing here? Not sure, guess cause I saw that I hadn't written here in over 6 years!!! This is horrible, really, I'm supposed to write, this IS a writing site and I haven't written ANYTHING here in so long! So, here's something, it's not really anything but maybe I'll write something more in snippets...cause at least it's something. |
Today's blog prompt asks us about our first crush, and I had to think waaaay back on this one. Hmmm, I think my first crush was a boy in the 6th grade and he was a twin. They're names were the type popular and rhymed on the last syllable. Ronald and Donald. I liked Donald, and tried to gaze at him from my seat on the bus. They both had matching fros that were picked out really well on their heads. I liked Donald's fro the best and he was the nicer of the two. One day, when I felt caught up with my crush, I wanted to express it to him in poetic form. Did I tell him a poem? No, of course not. I wrote him a poem. Now, I didn't have the nerve to walk up to him personally but there was a third family member, whose name I have blanked out entirely, who I approached to handle the dirty deed. He gladly offered to pass on my note to him, but not before reading it and dying in a fit of laughter. No, gentle readers, he did not really die, even though I would have saved my ruined reputation had he left this earth without passing on the note. Long story short, Donald did not share my affection and every time he saw me, he managed to look through me or around me, while the rest of the kids pointed and laughed. So, that's my first crush. I stopped sharing my thoughts with others till I met my husband to be and fortunately, he felt the same. Well, that's all for tonight...stay safe and warm!

Today's blog question was would we read someone's mind if we could, and if so why? If not, why not? My post will be brief, again, due to lack of writing time devoted to my blog...sigh! So, I think I wouldn't read someone's mind because I am not sure I'd like to see what they are thinking. This is based on my personal preference for privacy. I married a private man; we enjoy our space and our privacy. That includes privacy of thought. To be quite honest, writing this blog is difficult for me, at times, because I have to divulge my thoughts and/or intents, and that is hard for me. Back to my reasoning on mind reading, I could not do it because it's the last hidden place, the last secret place from all prying eyes, and nosy ninny's noses. I think our thoughts and feelings are our own and should stay that way. That is just my thinking, of course, and now I say good night.

| Today's blog entry question asked us if we could be any animal in the world, which one would you choose and why, and I had to sit on this one. I like cats A LOT, especially the blue Russian varieties but then I had to walk away from that one. I'd probably not get in a good home, and I don't think the domesticated life suits me. My daughter wanted me to choose a dolphin; she likes them a whole lot too. Oh, she said it's because of their snouts. She thinks they are cute. Cute is a word she uses a whole lot but a lot of things are cute at her age. Then, I thought why not choose a dragon. I know they don't exist any longer, well, they are creatures told in stories but we have to know that there is some basis in reality for these stories and the creatures in them. So, I am going to choose a dragon, a red and black dragon with silver scales. My dragon will keep a blue Russian cat for a pet. So there. Okay, posted something for tonight. Better go to bed. See you tomorrow. The Tale of Coco Adore:  ** Image ID #25234 Unavailable ** |
Today's blog post is about the movie that frightened us the most. It wasn't hard for me to remember the movie once my husband helped me to recall the time I stopped watching horror movies...yep, I no longer watch the genre because of THIS one movie. Well, in all fairness, there was one movie that preceded it that made me not want to watch them, and then, I did one time with my husband on movie night...and that was the last time I saw them! I'm building up to a short retort...the movies were: 13 Ghosts and then, The Hills Have Eyes. The thing that these movies have in common are scenes where a child is killed or threatened in a vulgar way with death or dismemberment...I can NOT abide it...I just can't! I saw 13 Ghosts back in 2003 and I had to stop watching it because of the scene with the child. The Hills Have Eyes I saw back in 2005 one night and it was just disgusting..that's all I can say on it. Oh, and I was frightened all right. So called sane people conjured up this stuff for film...well, I digress. Thanks for reading my blog! The Tale of Coco Adore: ** Image ID #1396102 Unavailable ** |
When I saw the prompt for today...I had to smile a bit. There was a time when I thought I knew the one natural disaster that made me cower, the one that caused me to hide in fear but that was until I visited by this one when we lived in Florida. Yep, anyone who knows Florida probably knows the one I'm about to discuss...briefly. It's almost my sleepy time again and here I am blogging. *mad* I've GOT to do this early in the DAY!!!  Yeah, right! Anyone that READS my blog knows I never post till the moon is high in the sky...ok. Back to the post...So, before we, and I say we, because my husband and son were there at the time this threat of a hurricane came over the Clearwater FL area ( and they NEVER get the hurricane warnings), my greatest fear was of tornadoes. Believe me, I'm not really over them because now I'm out of the threat of a hurricane now since we LEFT Florida not long after the hurricane call, tornadoes can still reach me. But back to the hurricane. It was crazzzy the day when they actually told the town that a cat 3 hurricane was coming up the coast and was in a direct line for Clearwater and we had NO WHERE to GOOOOOO!!!! Oh, my goodness! My mother in law, went to the hospital for shelter and we went back to our 2nd story apt! Oh, it was a brick structure so most of the people there said we would be safe if something came, even though nothing had come through there. We put grey tape, duct tape for those who don't know what grey tape is, on the windows in a cross pattern. Everyone else was doing it so we did too! We took our son to the main bedroom, put the mattress to the door and watched the news...it was amazing what happened. The weather man, and he was a TRUE meteorologist, not these phonies I see most of the time, said he saw a slight shift in the direction of the storm. Oh, I tell you we prayed and watched..and the storm shifted and turned to an easterly direction. The hurricane winds still came up to Clearwater and blew our grill down the breezeway, rattled some windows but we lived. The town it hit was not so fortunate. I left FL with a HUGE appreciation for hurricanes...even though I've never actually been in one. The Tale of Coco Adore:  ** Image ID #25234 Unavailable ** |
Well, today we were given an interesting questions for our blog posting. The question was whether we would choose beauty or attractiveness over intelligence. Hmm... I think that in a different time I might have said I choose beauty for all the fairy tales extolled beauty over everything else. It was the thing that conquered many a mighty man, why even Samson from the Bible was overthrown by a woman's beauty. Or it was something else she did but I'll let you, the tender reader, muse over that one. However, in this time, intelligence is the thing I would choose over beauty because beauty by today's standard can be purchased and with intelligence, extreme intelligence, you just would be beyond what others thought anyway. So, that's my post...quick and dirty. Time to turn in...hopefully, I will post earlier for tomorrow's blog. The Tale of Coco Adore:  The Tale of Coco Adore: ** Image ID #25234 Unavailable ** |
Well, here I am again...and it's too late to post what I might have said today.  Just busy working on school projects for my daughter and watching the weather turn ugly around here. We're getting ice/rain mixture tomorrow and we don't know how to drive in it!  Oh, I'd better go to sleep...I'll write more tomorrow, I think.

| This is an interesting topic because it talks about the five things that I feel I must see and do before it is too late and I had to think on what too late was exactly? Too late because the older I get the less chance I will climb that mountainside? Too late because my eyesight will continue to fail before I see Ireland? I have always wanted to visit Ireland. Not sure where but I am thinking where there are still some abandoned castles and the rolling countryside. So Ireland is definitely on the list of things to do before it is too late. The other thing I must do is have another child before it is too late. Yes, you heard it here. My biological clock is ticking and the grey is showing, and our daughter is getting older. It's my blog and it's what I want to do. Now, this will hamper possibly the traveling but we'll take care of that when the time comes. Three more things...oh, yes. My husband would like to travel the US before it is too late. We would take a RV and just see America. I want to see it too and I'd love to see Mount Rushmore again before it's carved over or something. Rushmore doesn't count on my list. It's part of the US traveling plan.... . Ok, two more to go. Visit the Sistine Chapel to see the beautiful artwork. They don't paint like that much anymore. And lastly, take a trip to New Zealand...this one is inspired by the Lord of the Rings and the Shire. Yes, I am a Tolkien fan and I would love to see this beautiful countryside. (Yes, the countryside again! I have a thing for it. )It's all possible, especially if we plan it. Well, till next time.
