The Gypsy on Adventure

This gives me the fits of the I wants!

Isn't this the damn cutest thing you have seen in a long time???? LUSTING after her!

Note from the Universe:

Sometimes, Gypsy, when there's absolutely no other evidence, you can still know whether someone's telling the truth or not, from all else they've said. That's what I say,

    The Universe

Also, Gypsy, it doesn't hurt to consider your own motivations for wanting to hear what they say, which are not always what they appear to be. Yeah, different subject, same donut.

Merry Ho Ho

What is Christmas?

It is tenderness for the past.

Courage for the present.

Hope for the future.

It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal.

And that every path may lead to peace.

-Agnes M. Pharo

Today was awesome, no drama...no stress...just relaxing, good company, good food, and no expectations! All in all not a bad day!

STILL grateful!

I started to get some text messages from my daughter...calling my biological mother and half sister the C words! Ack...DRAMA! But its not like I haven't warned her not to be around those blood sucking people! and here is a shock...they are hypocrites! Bahahahaha who knew?

I told her to send her brother over and pick up their Christmas gifts so that at least she would have a good morning...so Vernon stopped by and picked up hers and the babies gifts...I KNOW she will at least have a good morning!

There are MANY reasons why I don't associate with the family...egads.

It made me even MORE grateful for the decisions I finally made...that I choose to be happy! That I choose NOT to be around those fucked up people...yeah me!

Grateful!

The big boss let us off EARLY EARLY EARLY I was able to get all of my Christmas shopping done...AND go grocery shopping! Today was awesome! Now I am at home drinking some wine with WGBs dad and step mom...in a VERY clean house! It feels good! Yeah Me!  AND I get to sit and knit because Barb crochets! Yeah me! AND knits dish cloths!

So happy to have them here...I was so stressed out but it all worked out in the end! Yeah for that...no more stress...and just an enjoyable time.

Every thing that HAD to get done DID get done including a pretty kick ass dinner I made!

Wake ME up!!

I LOVE this band...and I SO need to wake up!

They got here EARLY...

WGB was able to at least do the kitchen, the floors, the refrigerator, but man it is still not up to where it should be...DREAD people DREAD!!!  When I looked up they had left Pledge on top of one of my shelves...rolling eyes...Of course I get home we are sitting in the living room talking and what do I smell????? HIS CAT SPRAYED my couch because now it was in HIS area!!!!!! I hope they didn't smell it....

Today I have to get frabreeze and pray that it cuts the fucking smell!!!!!! That is the odds for me! My cat doesn't spray...never been able too...I am pissed off! LOL No pun intended! Great timing on his cats part! I could ring his neck!

GAH

We were not prepared...no food here...so we took them to dinner...since we are not great house keepers I am FEARFUL of the judgment of others...with my back injury I just can't clean like I want to...but I did every thing I could...every thing is in storage that is clutter except my studio area...not perfect but I know it is clean!

Barb was sweet and brought a HUGE basket of home made goodies...she even made the towels!!!

Anxiety

In my monthly newsletter from a knitting warrior, she said these words of wisdom...I am not excited about the holidays I am FREAKING OUT....bad....I hate these holidays and I hate that I am doing some thing so taxing and getting no where fast...so I will take a breathe and keep on keeping on...and hope beyond hope of what I am seeing right now that it will all get done!

Probably no other period of the year is so charged with emotion as the Christmas holidays. Some are caught up in the churn and  hurry of bustle and cheer while others seek only to avoid the whole thing -- too many memories, too many used-to-be's packed under the tree. For some Christmas has no religious significance and maybe no shopping significance, either.

For me with no family living near, I've learned to make my own meaning from the season. It's not about giving or receiving a big glut of presents (though I don't turn any down) or about family dinners where all our old relationship patterns get strewn about the table along with the turkey. Time has a way of putting some things into perspective. These days, I'm happy to have good friends and love which is more
important than anything material. With change the only constant, I've learned to retool my expectations and burn my lights more brightly despite the losses. This is the challenge of being human.

Light, laugh, eat and knit is my holiday mantra. But wherever you are in mind or  being this season, I wish you all the gift of light, light to illuminate the darkness, light to ignite the glow of hope, light to remind you that we are all part of something greater than ourselves no matter what our beliefs. In the end, as in the beginning, our commonalities are more abundant than our differences.

We are one.

Anxiety HIGH....still packing and packing and back aching and aching...and tooth throbbing and throbbing...and the parental units are still coming...sigh...I am FREAKING out...it looks worse than it was when we started....bull dozer...that would solve the issue! Of course all I want to do is sleep...that is the depression talking....
