The Gypsy on Adventure

G-boy time!

Ah, its the first time (of many I am sure) that WGB and I took off alone with the G-boy! It was LE day at Gilroy Gardens, so it was PERFECT for him! all those wonderful rides just his size! FUN He wore me out!

I walked over 8,000 steps...when we were leaving he said "Can I go to YOUR  house to relax and watch a movie??" hahahahaha how could I resist???  So after dinner at Applebee's where he freaked out the waiter because he wanted broccoli, we went back to my house to watch The Princess and the Frog and to surprise him with the gifts I bought him at Gilroy Gardens! Hee hee hee what a really fun day!

I love this borrow a boy and get to send him home! LOL I am LOVING this part of my life! We had a great great time...even though we freaked out his mom, because we were having such a great time I didn't check my phone and she was a little paniced! LOL The shoe being on the other foot is HYSTERICAL!

   
 
 
 I love smelly little boys who giggle and act silly with their G-ma's! 

It was a ROUGH day...but its the weekend now! Yipppeeee!  First thing that happens this morning, I park at work go to shut the car door, which I already locked because I don't trust my clicker, and WHAM my keys get stuck in the door and I can't reopen the door!

DOH

I have to call the WGB and he comes to open my door and get my keys! DORK alert all day! I broke the frog that attaches to my purse so I can find them...frog croaked. AND I bent the key to my work! sigh...but then in walked a retired co-worker with a gift of a FROG on a rock! A good luck frog, so one was broken and one was given! Score on the frog scale!

Then running around the corner came JACK! OMG he is getting SO big I didn't recognize him! And look how cute he is! With our friend Wade!

When I got home time for sweat pants and couch...where I am watching scary shows! HEE hEE hEe AND that is exactly how I look watching really scary shows!

Quote from the Universe:
When you can look beneath their behavior that hurt you, Gypsy, and you can see the frightened child - it becomes nearly impossible to be angry and carry a grudge.

And you so can.

Besides, Gypsy, your happiness, abundance, health, and friendships are not dependent on how others behave.

I got this in my email today PERFECT for what I was feeling...SO true! I am grateful that I remain open to what I need to learn and follow through!

Today I got in 3,690 steps...but I have to try to improve! Step it up and I have to start adding weights!  I am still doing my life affirming drawing classes, but today I am frustrated because I cannot view the darn Videos on SuziBlu still! Gah...I wonder if it is my computer! My computer has been painfully slow!

Two funny things happened today, when WGB and I were driving back to my work after lunch we saw the Airship! Way awesome looking over my building!!! www.airshipventures.com/tours-promos.php#s6 Until seeing the price I had wanted to give the WGB a day up in the airship for his birthday...

And on my way home from work I saw this cool car!!! I want a FROG car!!!! I have been wanting a convertable, and this one wouldn't make WGB so nervous! He doesn't want me to get that Miata I want!

Frogs!

I seriously don't know how to feel about this article, I realize they are not going to be killing them to dissect them, but they will be doing other horrible things to them, shudder:

Japanese researchers have succeeded in producing see-through frogs, letting them observe organs, blood vessels and eggs under the skin without performing dissections.

Have to get up today...

Ok so now this morning I feel a bit sluggish...I spent the ENTIRE day in bed yesterday...I ate REALLY bad things like chocolate covered cookies, popcorn with real butter, about 3 cokes, and taco bell for dinner! I just didn't care yesterday...and I felt better with all the junk food in my bed while I cried...watched TV and read my zines...   Well I tried to read the zines...I mainly looked at all the pictures in Alma's new odd ball one and Teesha Moore's issue 6...I couldn't wrap my brain around words yesterday.

We all heal differently!

And thank you to all the women friends who have been thinking of me and sending me good thoughts to heal...I know I just have to FEEL everything and not skip a step and eventually I will be able to work it out...just not today.

Rough time

Today has been a really rough day...off of a really rough week!  I was down to the wire at work to get a NEW logo created and cleaned up so that they could start using it NEXT week! Shit...no pressure!  It is SO hard to be creative...when you are unhappy...I don't want to be where I am at work...I find it nothing but a STRUGGLE...and then no REAL help with concept. This is what I get:

Techy, Modern and Retro! Fresh!

Sure THAT clears everything up for me! GAH pull my friggen hair out...then this bit about shooting stars and fonts that look like they are moving...I try...I hate everything...I finally go back to the Techy, Modern and Retro and do my own damn thing...he wants it different and I tell him to HIRE A GRAPHIC DESIGNER! I am a fucking secretary that is unhappy!!!! You will be lucky to get anything DESCENT out of me!

Finally he see's my concept and today I cleaned it up and fixed it...including letterhead when my NEW boss says THAT IS NOT WHAT I AGREED THAT YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR...HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME UP WITH EVERYTHING...

What the fuck? Has she never worked with him before???? Oh do what you want for christ sake! They can't afford for ME to do these things...I said good luck affording a  REAL GRAPHIC DESIGNER! I rolled my eyes and left for the day!

I did this while answering the counter, answering the damn phones, dealing with promotionals and the people interviewing them, the chaos of the bullshit going on...the other flyers for new childrens programs, doing the normal everyday bullshit of the job, but hey...you can't afford me doing that!  I give up...it is just not worth me putting it out there...I have to learn to let them fall on their ass and look like shit! Why should I care if they don't look their best? I am a sick girl!

Of course punching holes in my fatbook pages I screwed up several of them and I have to reprint now and most likly will have to mail on Saturday! Gah...

I haven't been sleeping and when I have I have nightmares of death...apparently I am still grapling with my thoughts of an afterlife or I wouldn't be stressing out this badly!  I don't know if I am aftraid of dying or just afraid of what I will find out when I cross over!

One of my co-workers who just retired was diagnosed with breast cancer, the first surgery wasn't enough, so now she is going back in for a masectomy and radiation and chemo now! Sigh...another gal is retiring this month AND her cancer is back for the second time. Sigh... Dana Reeves dying of Lung Cancer, Linda S dying of cancer...I am just beside myself lately and I can't sleep!

Tomorrow is my darn MRI...Gah...I hope I will be able to lay there the entire time...without being in so much pain!

With all this stuff I have really started to miss my son. So I have to go see him soon!

The best thing that happened to me today, a really friendly Stranger-Friend, Vicci sent me a RAK, out of the blue...a wonderful fun and green frog to hang from a plant!!!! So I left the charming critter at work so he could cheer me up while I am there!  I was so excited to find out that her middle name is Carmen! How funny is that! : ) Truly charming!

Is it a Frog or a Horse?

Frog or Horse?
What do you see?
Just a little something to mess with your mind . ..

Coveting!

I SO want this!!!!!   Check out this site: http://www.noginsox.com/services.html

The Screaming Frog! Giggle*snort!

This grown-up tadpole has a personality - the Screamin' Frog animates (People this frog ANIMATES!!!!) as you move through the wind; his tongue flapping and his feet furiously flopping! He's typically at home in a warm, shallow body of water, but attached to the top of your helmet, this amphibian's convinced he's an endangered species! (Designed to fit bicycle-style helmets).

I don't wear a helmet...but damn I would if I could get my hands on this one!!!! I am still snorting!!!

Friends...Frogs...Zines!!!!

Clapping hands!

I received a box from Ireland!!!!! A FROG! AND a zine from Anne! Fun! I have something to read tonight... and to gaze at and dream of Ireland!

Louis the Frog!!!!!

Today started out pretty rough...I couldn't find something to wear...although my outfit rocked today when I finally put it all together! My black long skirt, brown turtle neck with my butterfly netskie necklace, with my short brown leather jacket and pointy witch boots! Running through the house late...didn't get all my make up on...finished at work later...every thing I touched turned to ca-ca...but then an act of kindness struck!

I got to my desk AND A PLUSH GREEN ADORABLE FROG WAS SITTING ON MY DESK! No note...and when I picked it up it was heavy! Batteries!!!! what does it do? I thought I needed to put batteries in when Moon and I were doing that Oz came by and said those are new batteries! I said how do you turn him on! he said LOOK AT THE STICKER PRESS HERE! DUH!  HE LEFT THE FROG!!!!  AND IT MOVES AND SINGS WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE BY LOUIS ARMSTRONG!!!!  It sounds and MOVES just like Louis!!!! His little lip even quivers as he sings! Too fun! Tomorrow I bringing my special green hankie that Lana gave me and I attaching it to his front leg!!!! It made my whole day worth being there!!!!  Just look!
