Just saw an article this morning in Vogue..."How do you know when it's Over?" And a second title was, "How to win him Back."
Ladies, first of all, it's over when you say it is. And second of all, if you have to "win" him back, you don't want him back...MOVE ON!
I'm sorry, but there isn't much I can stand about a woman chasing after a bad relationship. If it was a good one, it wouldn't be over. Now, I'm not talking about a long-standing marriage that seems to have taken a right turn for a bit. I'm specifically referring to the young relationships of a non-legal standing. (Boyfriend & Girlfriend).
This is the pre-marriage screening phase of a relationship. Obviously it didn't workout, so move on and up! You try on more than one piece of clothing or shoes before you settle on the perfect item don't you? Well, why on earth would you spend more time time selecting a temporary garment than you would a permanent mate? SAMPLE!
Love is a recipe and it takes time to cultivate and adjust. You try several different ones before you find your personal comfort food, so don't be dissuaded by having to throw out a bad batch every now and again. There's more ingredients out there! You're not a bad cook and you can do this, you just need to find your inspiration, so keep looking, don't suffer with a bad meal when a five star is out there waiting for you to discover it.

He observed her as she walked across the café with a sense of urgency while frequently looking behind herself. It wasn’t her behavior that got his attention, as much as it was, her eyes.
Black as cauldrons and as vast as space that seem to go on forever, not vacant, but mysterious with a hint of fear.
He was bored anyway, and she was hella hotness on a spoon, he became transfixed on her every move. Soon she notices her shadow. After she finishes her task, she turns curtly on her heels to come face-to-face with him. She gives him a penetrating look that exposes his deviant behavior.
She asks demandingly, “May I help you with something?”
With a mild smirk on his face he replies, “I don’t know, can you?”
Her eyes narrow as she purses her lips while she looks him up and down assessing the level of (reaction/response) she’s going to give him. Just before she replies, she notices…

The state of the Economy...Well mine at least.
My life is rapidly turning into a typical country song cliche. I'm broke, unemployed, my house is getting absorbed by the city for a freeway expansion and now my husband was informed that the college he works for is closing down and they don't have any money to offer severance packages. Oops, sorry; was their sentimentality. (Yea me!)
What to do what to do...Well, it got me thinking and then inspiration struck! So I started doing the one thing I can do with little to no resources or investment, I started to write something. No not a letter to the editor or the Governor; both viable ideas, but frivolous effort at best. No this is something much more revenue based and timely, tell me what you think...
Drawing my inspiration from the culmination between the Facebook founders recent bio flick and the higher-ups versus the little people in the college cut-back's, I decided to draw from life and create a tale of struggle. Something I titled, "Nex Gen Overlords: It's Ruled by Design." It's an exaggeration of "1984" meets modern day conspiracy theory with a dash of hedonistic capitalism for good measure.
The tale opens twenty years in the future and looks back to our present time. Basically it narrates the eventual decay of society on a global scale as we submit to the technology that we have all become so dependent upon. This creates a new generation of global leaders, a select few that have the knowledge to design, create and operate the worlds technologies. These collective few include an antagonist and protagonist character, the dark versus the light of course. The bulk of the masses are either devolved into drones or worshipers. The collective evolves into a futuristic demigod for the cult followers. And all of this is played out in a tangible environment that my fellow conspiracy theorists can really get their teeth into.
So what do you think? Send me your feed back. Love to show you some excerpts.
How does this relate to my personal economics? Well, this I can sell by chapter to several magazines who have already shown interest on spec. Eventually I see this entire story from beginning to end in novel form already, so we'll have to wait and see (hope-hope). In the meantime, it certainly has taken my mind off the rest of my woes.

What are they thinking?
Have you ever hurt yourself and let out an audible little "ouch" or something only to have a family member from another room respond back with, "don't hurt yourself." As opposed to what, "try harder next time" or something to that affect? I mean really...what are they thinking!
This just gets me going at my house if someone makes that mistake with me after one of my own little oopsies. Then the lecture begins; 'So you are implying that the alternative is that I was trying to hurt myself and that I'm so prone to this behavior that you need to remind me that this shouldn't be my objective.' This is only level one of the lecture, because the recipient of said lecture almost always responds with a, "well, no." Which opens the door to level two.
Level two then goes on to point out the facts that somehow eluded the well-wisher which include, but are not limited to the following: I'm an adult, this is not the first time I've performed this task, If you had fixed it in the first place..., of course I wasn't TRYING to hurt myself--are you implying that I'm incompetent? and so on. Level two is usually accompanied by a louder version than level one as well.
The solution is simple; upon hearing someones mishap, respond rather with a question like, "do you need help" or " can I get you anything." Now you are part of the solution and not the problem.
Happy Holidays y'all!

Did you Trick or Treat?
Well, this season came too quickly this year. Seems that it's happening like that more and more each year now. Funny how that was NEVER the case when we were kids! Remember counting the days until your birthday or Christmas? And time seemed to reverse if you were watching the clock trying to get out of school. Suddenly it seems to just fly by and all I hear are friends, co-workers and peers all asking for more of it because there just never seems to be enough to get everything done in a single day.
Huh, a single day...Why do we want to do so much in so little? My kids think I'm crazy when they hear me mumble something similar to that request 'for more time' every now and again. They just cock their heads and furrow their bows in a quizzical nature. What happened to getting our work day done and then debating how much rippin' and runnin' we could do before we HAD to go to work all over again the next morning? And why aren't sleep-in-Sunday's still in effect? I remember at one point in my life, they were mandatory!
Well Fall fell and Hallows Eve has past. Hearken the call of Tom turkey and get out your best pie recipes because in just three weekends, Thanksgiving will have descended on us and without waring, Christmas will all to soon follow, as it always does. (So much for getting in a few winks of shuteye.) Seems there is always some pressing 'emergency' with more family oriented events so close together. Fair thee well weary readers, fair thee well.

Is it Christmas Yet?
With the cool nip of fall in the morning air, a sudden urge to create takes over my being and I find my days turning into flights of fancy driven by compulsion.
Between fits of binge cooking for a week in advance, then spring cleaning on a weekly basis for some reason, I'm also feeling the deadline of Christmas fastly approaching, so I'm forced to address my mountain of sewing tasks that I have all but forgotten during those long & lazy warm summer months.
With eight children, and now three of them with significant others and my first grandchild on the way, my normally daunting tasks have exploded this year into herculean proportions! So it's off to sew, but I have a few other interests to occupy my down time such as: cabinetry, candle making and jewelry crafts, so idle hands will not be an issue this year! (Pray for me).
Cabinetry you ask, well, new grand child needs dressers, and the kids like their furnishing in the Log Cabin motif, so how much wood can this old woodchuck chuck? A four drawer and a three drawer chest of drawers worth, that's how much! In my living room no less. Did I mention it was getting colder, so the non heated detached garage is just out of the question.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that 10K bug? Well, turns out I've signed up for two more 5K events and I'm going to do two half marathons in 2011. I have two certain friends to thank for this new found self imposed bench marking, and you know who you are!
See you in the funny papers~

Here's What's Cookin!
Weather is about to change and I have seized the opportunity to dust-off the ole crock pot. A petite rump roast, that I dry aged for three days in a savory rub, went in and I covered that with petite red potatoes, carrots, yellow onion coarsely chopped and celery. (Someone went to the farm this week). Had some leftover purple pole beans that I threw in for good measure and poured in an organic low-sodium beef broth and seasoned with a blend of magic herbs & spices then called it good! It smells divine throughout the house right now. (She says as her stomach growls in anticipation).
Yet another child's birthday tomorrow and I should be cleaning house, but I finished a great book last night and I'm clamoring for more, so I've opted to go to the library instead. (Shame on me, I know). Well, I'll make the cheesecake tonight, sew some communion cloths for the church and make the beds. If I have any times left, I'll vacuum and clean the toilet. That should be semi-productive enough for one fine fall crisp day. I've already completed two loads of laundry,washed the dishes, cleaned the counter tops and wrapped the presents. Sounds like something, but we all know it was piddly.
