The Gypsy on Adventure

Movie Fest

Ah...yesterday Bewitched came out...and so did the First Season of the TV show. I bought it! It was my favorite show as a kid, and I got the first one in Black and White like it was when it first came out. I guess if you wanted you could buy it in color as well! But I like it to authentic...

I have had a great time watching it today! I think I should go see the movie tomorrow!

So proud!

Giggle...today I have received THREE phone calls from my son. HE is VERY excited! All the changes in his life are getting him smiling and happy! I hope he remembers these feelings when things get a little tough...because when life happens and he is scheduled in school and work, and things get thrown out of balance it can make him so unhappy. If he remembers these days it will help him get through it all!

He bought some of his books and one of those jump drives to put his text books on...he is making me smile! I am really proud of him. He is excited about his new job and his school.

His wife is getting ready for the college commitment as well...I am so EXCITED maybe I will have the first TWO college grad's in my family! : ) Whoot!

Quotes

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.
~Henry Ford

Every thought you have contributes to truth or illusion;either it extends truth or it multiplies illusions. Nothing but your own thoughts can hamper your progress.
~the Course in Miracles

Nice Evening!

My bosses are the two guys on the right who we celebrated tonight! We had a GREAT night, the company was fabulous, the dinner was the best! Smoked BBQ salmon and tri-tip! Salads, chocolate fondue, cakes, and tequila freely flowing! I had MANY margarita's and a couple of shots and I called it all good!

The nice thing, everyone but 2 people from our division came! AND the babies made an appearance! We have two new boys, one 1 week old and the other 5 weeks old! Just yummy being able to spend some time with them! Then we had Zach who is 6 months.

I think my bosses LOVED their keepsake books...I put together about 42 or so pages of nothing but photos of the time we have all spent together! Lots of fun filled in those pages and some good memories!

Humf Change...

Gypsy's Daily Cancer Forecast
	Quickie: Keep your cool today. Try to persuade people with your head, not your heart.
	Overview: Your thoughts on things and the ideas of others just aren't on the same plane ~ whether it's work related, about a relationship or just regarding where to have lunch. Choose your battles, and don't let the rest get you down.

Take the status quo and shake it up. Whether it's your work routine or your personal life,  something that is part of your daily routine is feeling as stale and flat as a day-old saltine. It doesn't have to be an enormous change, either ~ at least, not at first, even if what you want is a big metamorphosis. Start off small. Radical change can't happen without first implementing small, regular change anyway.

Ok so I don't do well with change...I am going to do this...I am going to embrace the feelings of panic and enjoy the ride of the waves of change...hell maybe this time I can stand up on the surf board and ride it all the way into the shore.

I know change can be good! I know I must need it if it is happening...it is just difficult when it comes from all directions and I just feel like being a hermit crab and digging in! But I will open my arms and let flow all over me...

I will keep my eyes open to see what changes are doing and witnessing the new birth of another wave coming in and see that it can be beautiful!

Missing her more

If she had lived my grandmother would have been 100 years old tomorrow. I can't believe she has been gone for so long. I REALLY miss her so much...

Some how I will celebrate her life tomorrow... and of course at the party have a shot for her as well!

I wanted to have some art done for this day, but I just couldnt' get it together. It will come though...it is still in my heart waiting to come out. She was a lot of fun...and I want the art to feel whimsical AND fun!

Don't read this ~ its vile or is that bile?!

Have you ever just had one of those days...I have been having them OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and I am getting really tired of it. I am starting to feel trapped by it all...And of course it is stuff I can't put in writing here...GAH...I get frustrated some times that life can suck for no apparent reason...I NEED A FUCKIN VACATION FROM EVERY THING!

I think a lot of it is all the changes going on...I don't do change well...I have been very emotional because of it.  My two managers are rotating out...tomorrow is their going away party after work...I am working on a book for them both, with photos that I have taken over the last 3 years...so far 34 pages...and of course this is making me very emotional. I have had a blast with them since they have been in the division.

Then one of my bosses tells me MORE SHIT is being dumped on me from the other side of the building...FINE bring it on! Apparently they are having issues DOING ANYTHING OVER THERE! And no one has the balls to fire them!

I am tired of a lot of things...including shit about my ex...you know there is a reason they are EX's...LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY damn it! Quit invading my life because YOU have no life! And the life you have is filled with drama! You don't HAVE to tell people YOU are my ex~you idiot~most of them would NOT KNOW! And they REALLY don't care! You just make an ass out of yourself! You miserable person who STILL does not have a job!!! A parasite to the entire Universe! What is your excuse now? Is it still ME...only this time you can't work why? because I left your sorry ass? Don't tell people that if they KNEW me they wouldn't love me, you NEVER knew me! The only thing you knew was how to lock on to my juggler vein and SUCK ME DRY! 

When the people YOU told you were my ex came to me today, their comments about you were "He is an ass! He is a loser! And I can't believe YOU were married to HIM" Of course when you had to belittle me in front of them...why should YOU ever change! I meant it that I would NEVER again see myself through your eyes! Be gone! You are old news! Haunt some one else and quit TELLING people you were married to me! GAH How embarrassing! I can't believe I was married to you for TWENTY years!

There maybe I will feel better now that I threw up!

Quotes

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, learn about them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.
~Denis Waitley

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
~Walter Bagehot

Body Issues

You know, it is ENOUGH that we as women have to deal with our body issues, but when assholes attack you it is just not fair! Heather has just dealt with some one like that at the YMCA that made her cry!

Another woman Jen is dealing with her wounds and bulimic issues. Just as some of my women friends at work are all dealing with hating their bodies. I seriously thought I had found this poem because of my own issues I am having with my body, a few months back I had a waitress treat me like shit because I was what she considered fat...but it goes out wider than that...this poem is for EVERY woman...

We need to embrace ourselves and heal our raging thoughts against our own bodies and love ourselves.

Imagine a Woman
Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.

Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself. A woman who listens to her needs and desires. Who meets them with tenderness and grace.

Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past's influence on the present. A woman who has walked through her past. Who has healed into the present.

Imagine a woman who authors her own life. A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf. Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.

Imagine a woman who names her own gods. A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness. Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.

Imagine a woman in love with her own body. A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is. Who celebrates her body's rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body. A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom. Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.

Imagine a woman who values the women in her life. A woman who sits in circles of women. Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

Imagine yourself as this woman.
