Apologies Upfront

I'm going to re-upload my Quest for Purpose vids.

I know some people will have already seen them before so I apologise for throwing old stuff up on the Ark.

However, with the demise of my LV channel all my vlogs were lost forever and the QFP series is one I'd like to continue with.

So apologies upfront : )

My friend, Debra is here!

I'm so excited to welcome my friend, Debra Antoniak (also the name of her channel)!

Back in November I did a post on the evils of immigration and referenced a friend whose husband had recently been deported to Poland because INS didn't believe they were a legitimate couple. Her life has been very difficult ever since.

I hope she finds the Ark to be a bright spot, and I hope you'll hop over to her page to welcome her!

Update on Deception On His Mind by Elizabeth George

Damn this book is good! I'm currently on page 274. There just aren't enough free hours in the day to read this novel. Yes, it's still slow reading but it's much better now. I don't want to put it down. Sometimes on my break at work one of my co-workers will come and ask if I'm planning on coming back to work today. Oops.

Taxes are done!

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever wanted to put a made-up occupation on their Federal Tax Form? I was thinking of putting Commander of the Fifth Planet in Ark Galaxy but then I thought that might get me in trouble. I don't want Syd to get ticked at me. : ) Seriously, I wonder if they pay any attention to that line.

So the taxes are done. I'll be getting back $1130 from the two. Not bad for less than ten minutes of work. As soon as MrPoe gets his W-2, I'll be figuring his as well. One… Continue

Your Song

I opened the audio file you sent me thinking I knew what to expect. After all, you did send me an email before that telling me you were about to send a recording of a song you did and that you wanted my honest opinion about whether you sucked or not. You mentioned all those rejects from American Idol who maybe didn’t have someone to tell them the truth and so, that’s what you wanted- my honest opinion. Sisterly sugar-coats suspended (as if they ever really existed), I was fully prepared to be… Continue

Should I do my taxes or just go to bed?

So I got my W-2 from work tonight. I'm wondering if I should take the 10 minutes to do them or just go to bed? If I don't do them tonight I'll have to do them tomorrow. I need to get them in before the wonderful state of California starts issuing IOUs.

Hmm....

In which Omega wonders where this post is going

Yeah.....not a good week or so.

On top of the irritations of work (WHY DO STUPID PEOPLE INSIST ON MAKING LIFE DIFFICULT?!?!) and winter (START YOU GODDAMN CAR!!!!!!), tragedy befell the Omega household when my dog Lou got caught behind a UPS truck backing up. I wish I could say he never knew what hit him. Unfortunately, that was not the case as only his back end was crushed...

Took him to the vet. News was of course not good. Crushed pelvis, internal injuries, shock, etc.… Continue

Kids Get All The Cool Stuff

I just got the Pottery Barn Kids catalog in the mail. I'm not sure why I got it, because I don't have any kids, but I am feeling very jealous right now. In this months catalog they have these really cool sheets with The Cat In The Hat on them, BUT THEY ONLY COME IN TWIN SIZE! Why doesn't anyone sell sheets in king or queen size that have fun stuff on them. I for one would buy them. Target does the same thing. They sell these awesome sheets with Buzz Lightyear or Star Wars on them, but only in… Continue

Too soon?

I bookmarked 'Whitehouse.gov' in my browser yesterday. Wondering if it's too soon to start writing to our new leader with requests. In particular, a LOT more money for stem-cell research, which I believe he promised during his campaign. No time like the present..

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands...

If you haven't already seen it, I posted a discussion on the forums for jokes, funny stories and funny pictures.. please feel free to check it out and after a good chuckle, maybe you can add to it.

Today, I am happy... I didn't want to be, in fact, last night I was working on a great big pity party for myself, but today I woke up and decided that I would be happy instead.

I can't even tell you why I was feeling sorry for… Continue

The Flu and A Little Sick Beagle

On Sunday I came home from work after a couple hours with the flu. I actually began coming down with it on Saturday although I refused to admit it was the flu. I wanted to believe it was the pizza I ate. You know, too much cheese or something.

So I went to work on Sunday and after running to the bathroom five times in about two hours, I decided it was time to go home. Upon arrival, my Beagle Lucy, immediately glued herself to me. She hopped up into bed and warmed my feet. Then when I… Continue

What a day

Now I believe things happen for a reason. Even the fact that at 5:20 am on my way to work I get a flat. Making it to the local gas station, I call home. ( I do not have a cell ) My hero (hubbie,sweetheart, soul mate) shows up two hours later after work before the tow truck. Tire switched to the donut and follows me to the tire store, to purchase a new tire. The old one is trashed. Finally getting home I call work again, telling them I wont be in. As I sit in my warm livingroom, Bun doing her… Continue

Today I Fly the Flag with Pride

For the first time in eight years I fly the American flag from my balcony with pride. Today we welcome a new President and a new era of hope for our country's future. I feel hope. I feel excitement for the possibility of what this country can accomplish. With the economic crisis comes the opportunity for great change, and I for one am ready to embrace that change. Three cheers for President Barack H. Obama.!

That's my cousin's band. They're worth a listen. My cousin and I don't talk much anymore, but I'm the first to admit that the boy makes great musical decisions. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I hear laughter in the rain....

well, it seems I have blogged everyday since I started to blog here, so although I don't have anything in particular I feel the need to get off my chest, a lot has been going on in my life these last few days. Something very unexpected... I feel better.

I have laughed more in the last few days then I have ever laughed in my life and it was more cathartic then crying ever was. The act of being able to look at my life and actually laugh at myself and my idiocy at times... I am NOT… Continue

Sewn With Dreams -- a poem

Sewn With Dreams

Yards of lace

Dozens of sequins and beads

Fabric, white

Crisp as snow;

Time yellowed.

Fragile beadwork

Created by loving hands.

Trained, talented

Dream makers.

Only a dress;

A beautiful dress

Designed with care.

Stolen sleeve from one,

Neckline from another.

Semi-cathedral train

Trailing after

Sharing visions

Of a precious bond.

Symbol of love;

Two… Continue

The Art of Procrastination

If there is one thing I am good at,* it is procrastinating. I will write more about this tomorrow.

* I'm not good at grammar,** so I don't know if this comma is used correctly.

** I don't know if this one is used correctly either.

January 2009

I've been a bit busy. There's so much I want to do, but there never seems enough time or money to do it! Ah well, I am here writing away.

Speaking of writing, I have been working on a collection of poems again. It all started last April during a writers' group that met on Saturday mornings for free-writing sessions. I wrote about a girl who walked into a Mississippi town, fell asleep on the bench near the courthouse, and then woke to find townspeople all around her. She asked for… Continue

fifty five freakish fish frightened frida.

If you get more than 30 I strongly recommend some counseling!

If you get more than 20 you're a lil weird but not much.

If you get 10-20 then you are normal

If you get 10 or less you're fearless.

People who don't have any are full of crap!
