Happy Friday!

"they"  are predicting 40+inches of snow this weekend
whoever "they" are.   *insert rolling eye face here*

I'm coming down with a cold, so I have made an executive decision to hit the couch and stay there until Monday.

So, have a nice weekend everyone.... see you on the flip side.

Tempest Fugiting.... and some ramblings

So time really does fly... I guess when you spend two weeks reconnecting with someone from your past....meeting a new friend...finding yourself....rediscovering your spirit.... laughing....crying....realizing.... and finally letting go of things that no longer serve you.    Doctors appointments, lawyer meetings, therapy, medication changes (again).... shoes on both feet.... learning how to walk again....

I've spent so much time trying to FIND something, searching, looking, waiting, wondering, wandering and the whole time it was right here just waiting for me to realize ?   I dont know.... I'm still wondering  but not searching.   All of the peices are finally falling into place, I am feeling whole, re-born, re-discovered.

A near death experience and life altering injuries, permanent disability etc.  Really had to back up and regroup.  THIS is my reality now.  THIS is how the rest of my life is going to be.  Deal with it.   The only other option is to roll over and give up.   NOT GONNA HAPPEN.  Not me, I've worked to hard to get where I am, I'm not stopping now.

Thanks for listening to the rambling.... just needed to get this out of my head.  Was going to save it in a draft but then I would chicken out and never publish it.  So, thanks for reading if you managed to get this far.

PS.  I'm not happy that I can't find the spell check button.  so forgive the spelling issues.  thanks

I collected all the books I've started recently and put them in a pile behind me. I've looked at them several million times and thought about taking a picture and making a blog post. So, I did. So tell me, what are you reading now?   Here is my list!

Happy Birthday Gramma!!

85 years ago my grandmother was born

I am so glad!

Happy Birthday Grandma I love you more than words can say!!

Time Flies eh?

Or as my grandmother says Tempest is Fugiting all over the place. I got an unexpected (but welcome) call from my cousin yesterday. She had free passes to see The Lovely Bones. I had read the book some time ago (written by Alice Sebold) and have been wanting to see the movie. Being on a limited budget a free movie day sounded good to me!! I highly recommend seeing the movie, it was very very well done.... and THEN after, read the book. If you read first, watch later, you will be left with lots of (hey wait, that wasn't in the book). Happens all the time. Either way it was a very well done movie, the cinematography was excellent and the "in between" reminded me of What Dreams May Come (with Robin Williams).

I'm still contemplating writing a post about my piercing(s) experience. For now, I will leave you with a picture...

See the little heart in the inside of my ear? That's the newest ear piercing. Called a Daith piercing. So yea, that's it for now. Happy hump day all!!

Happy Monday

All my days seem to run together lately... a lot is going on in my world. Some I can talk about, some I can't, and some I just plain don't want to. *sigh* I had a house guest all week and really enjoyed having someone here in the house with me. Now, I am trying VERY hard not to notice how quiet it is here when there is no one around but me and the pups. Music is on...journal is out...lists are made (want to do, not need to do)

So far today I've danced (as well as my broken body is able), listened to music ( I am so grateful my hearing is intact) and I have spent the remainder of my amazon gift card from Christmas on a new book and a movie. I will not get either until the end of January, as Super Shipper Savings will group the two together and the movie (Saw 6) doesn't come out until the 26Th of the month. It will give me something to look forward to, and an unexpected surprise in the mail, as I will have forgotten by then that I ordered them.

I have so much I want to do and in the end I just end up sitting and doing nothing. I'm not sure what that is about or why exactly, but hopefully writing it down will help get it out of my brain and somewhere else so it all stops swirling around. So I guess for now, that's it. Hope you all have a great week.
