The Gypsy on Adventure

Bike Ride continued

Here is my Honi, Mr. Prepared Bike man! I love that man! He has every tool you would ever need if you have any problem on the road with your bike! Why you ask? He got stuck about 15 miles out one time with no tools, no spares and had to carry his bike home...he is a boy scout now! He is prepared!

Good thing too, during our stop for lunch he aired up both our back tires...then it wasn't quite so hard to ride after that, seems we were a little low on air!

As you can tell from this pic it is a beautiful day in the Bay Area! Very clear...with a nice breeze! BUT HOT!

What was I thinkin?

Sigh...No don't run screaming the red is not from Rosasia, no its not that I have a sun burn! No oh no! The Gypsy is OVER heated from a 3 1/2 mile bike ride, forgetting I haven't been on my bike in months...forgetting I have but one speed! I do have a cool bike! But she is a cruiser! One speed only! with a cute little basket to carry all of our lunches and drinks!

I survived...I am hot, I am sweety, I am make up less and I don't care its the weekend syndrome, I am heading for the shower after these posts and taking a nap! LOL Shit it's hard to keep up with my sweety who has a 14 speed and the two kids with 10 speeds...with my little putter!!!! I refused to do the 6 miles today...I have to trim my butt down a bit for that! LOL OR at least wait until next weekend!

Addendum to Miss Know it All:
Here is a first fan's, I was WRONG! Doesn't happen often...but the last look in the mirror! IT IS a sun burn...SIGH...double Sigh! Even with sun screen! Sheesh! What is the point! I was still over heated when I took that pic! She grumbles to herself!

Quiz

Take the What High School
Stereotype Are You? quiz.

LMAO...Go figure! I am still a Goth! and I am OLD! LOL Some things never change! Thanx Pixie with a Crash Helmet it was too fun to pass up...

Nice Man!

The photo was taken of us and a white light showed up around us, we believe it is his Mom, stopping in to say hello to us and affirming our lives together.

I have the best friend for a lover...for my birthday EARLY...he bought me a computer armoure that will be delivered on Monday! It is Oak...not just press board...it is so much better than the one I was looking at to get at JC Penny's! And it will fit my HUGE monitor!!!! Wow! Plus he got me the curieo cabinet I liked...so I can have my frogs out finally! Dust free! Giggle I took over his with my Tink stuff!

On the computer armoure, when the doors open up, you unlatch a table that folds down and can be used to spread out and DO ART! He was thinking! It has drawers for my ephemra (some of it anyway, maybe the current projects!), and a file drawer for my actual business stuff and I can give him back his drawer in his file cabinet! And it has a computer slot, and a shelf for the printer! BOTH doors fold down to tables! So I can even use one as my SEWING table!!!! Put my Bernina up there and sew too!

The best is that I can close it ALL up so my cats don't play on my comptuer things anymore! Alien seems to like my printer! That is a no-no since it is new and spensive! Brat!

So I have been CLEANING and organizing all of my shit! ... I have a lot of SHIT and it is spilling everywhere!But I am getting it to be more of a studio now, which has been my goal...so I can actually work my art more convienantly than on the couch!

I just really should get rid of shit I don't need...but like my girl friend Carolyn...how do you get rid of shit you bought!? and like?! and want!? just have no room for! Like I have any right to complain...I am spoiled rotten! I just have to learn to organize it a bit better...and get rid of paper stuff I don't really need, and I know when I do I will think WHY I could have used that in my paper journal!!!!!

I know my friends are saying to themselves...Let it go!

Ah...Art Fix!

Ah...breath of fresh air in my mailbox as I got home ... a very large package was waiting for me! MY zines! Some of them that I have been waiting for were there in a box calling my name! Artitude Zine...all of them but Issue 4 that was out of print...so anyone out there have Issue 4 they want to sell me????

Time to retreat to my Angel bed and low music as I bathe in wonderous, mysterious, and fun art!!!!

Ah...Vacation is good! Zines are good! Art is good! And Martha is going to Prison...

You can get your fix at: www.artitudezine.com

I Made It!

You all should be proud of me! I made it to vacation week and didn't hurt anyone on the way out the door as the vapers of my exit were whooshing behind my stride to the "Frog Mobile!"

I heard my boss saying ... You are coming back right ... there was silence as the door was shut behind me! A wicked laugh escaped my lips as I sauntered away...LOL

This is Cool! Goddess Rosaries!

So last night I am wandering around and find this artist! I am now talking to her to commission a piece of art from her...it is my birthday present to myself! I can't wait! You have to see her stuff!

http://www.lunaea.com/shop/rosaries.html

They are Goddess Rosaries. They are beautiful! Awesome...and enchanting! I am talking to Lunaea about a Gypsy and a Frog! With Purple and Blue beads and maybe a few celtic beads as well! Green would be good too! I wish I could afford SEVERAL! I am a greedy pig! LOL I am SO excited about this! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM! Go to her site and check them all out! Wonderful! Every now and then you have to do something for yourself...this is just for me...a guilty pleasure! I should be paying for my tooth being fixed...tough I LOVE THIS and I am getting it! *grin*

Addendum July 17, 2004:
I think I am making her creative head hurt! At least I am true to form, she called me eclectic! Well my taste anyway...the gypsy...the frog...the purples and the blues...with the celtic beads...I am just a jumbled person is all! LOL I hope she doesn't end up saying she wished I never found her site! : ) But to me it all makes sense...I am after all Gypsy Froggie!

One More Day Until Vacation!

Please let me find my happy thought...Please!

Please...Let me hang in there ONE MORE DAY before I actually have a weeks vacation!!!! Its a New Moon week...that is not a good thing...the idiots are already getting to me! In fact, Even my boss has had it, today he came out of his office and told me "IF one more person breathes he is going to go off on them!" LOL I am not the only one! I am glad it is not just me...I was starting to wonder! Its hard to tolerate some people some times!

I had the crazy woman call me again, the one that ALWAYS calls on a full-moon, and the new-moon, and I told her she had the wrong number and hung up before she could finish talking to me, I just did not want to deal with her, today I would have told her TO TAKE HER MEDS! Which is not very kind! She always talks in a whisper, because the people in her building are sending invisible rays into her walls to hear her...and "we" are constantly surveilling her...I just did not have the patience today.

So Please ONE MORE DAY...don't let me get into trouble the DAY before a good vacation! Cause I know by the time I get back I will be able to tolerate them all over again! LOL Just not now!

On the light side all my group (20 including me) took me, my boss and another co-worker to lunch today for our birthdays! That was nice and we laughed and were silly in the resturant and made people stare at us...great fun...one of our retiree's came and sang the Happy Birthday song in a strange and weird way...and everyone in the resturant clapped! *grin* So that was the hi-lite of the day!

We were on a golf course so decided to eat inside the place rather than the patio and deal with birds! This is hysterical! A small black bird came into the building anyway and was flying around the place while we ate! So the guys that didn't want to sit outside because of the birds had to deal with one right ABOVE their heads while they ate! LOL

Having one of THOSE days

Ah backlash from root canal...I hate all forms of medication...I don't do them well...my stomach is still upset with me for taking it. Of course I was in the middle of the procedure when the doc starts to laugh...I'm like grunting what? what? He told me I have an "extra" canal in that tooth! My response OF COURSE I DO!!! Would I be me without being weird and unusual?!

I got up this morning...fuzzy and hurting...took a shower and decided it is JUST NOT worth it...go back to bed and lay low...Yesterday I sent messages to people saying I would be out, saying I was expecting a call and to find out the time this group was coming through for a tour...of course these people can fuck up a wet dream!

They didn't get the time...they sent them to ANOTHER department...who now wants to have the media involved NO NO NO! And they called MY honi at his job asking where I was cause it got all fucked up! So he calls ME at home...where I DON'T WANT TO TALK BECAUSE IT HURTS!!!!

Grrrr...so I call the idiot that told them to go to a different department and TOLD HER TO GET THE TIME THE PEOPLE WILL BE COMING THAT IS ALL...I can't talk anymore...Can you handle that?????!!!!! And got off the phone to scream!!!! I am in truth mode...which is not good because I could get fired for letting loose on the IDIOT!!!! Fuck what is wrong with people? Besides being just plan lazy stupid!...ok who is the stupid one really? I think it's me because I actually work!!!! It doesn't pay to care! How is it they get to me when I am NOT even there?!

They seriously wonder why I ride a broom!!!!!

Back to the Dentist-Sigh

So the Root Canal Dentist office calls me yesterday...Please don't forget to MEDICATE tonight and tomorrow BEFORE you come in! Why? You didn't like me PANICING in your office and scaring the rest of your patients? LOL

So this morning I am a complete idiot ZOMBIE! How did I ever take drugs as a teenager???? Thats right, I had no life and no responsiblity so it didn't matter I was in a foggy STUPER! It was so hard getting up this morning...worse than any hangover! I can't see without it being fuzzy!

So this afternoon instead of being frustrated at my normal job...I get to go to root canal hell! GRRRRR I hope my panic doesn't hit...I hate that feeling! Sigh
