The Gypsy on Adventure

Its my lucky day!

I had decided to buy a cheap new TV today, I found one for $199 it was 29" and LCD. My boyfriend and I rode over to Best Buy, and we looked at many TV's...I was talked into a 32" LED model...for $299...and then he surprised me by buying it for me!!!! SQUEEEEEEEL  So then I was able to buy the Apple TV that I have been wanting! WHOOT Feeling spoiled!  Wow! It is HD as well AND I can see the dark screens when they get darker!!! AND I can watch my Netfix and so enjoying that!!! On a big screen! Whooo hoooie!

Had to clean that area...and dust and vacuum...but hey I have a cool TV...And SuperNatural is playing! :) With Hell Hounds! LOVE this!!!

Then my son texts me...he is getting me the new iPhone 5!!!!! For my birthday! Whooo hooo! So he is ordering it tomorrow! I might even get it this week! I am so excited!!!! MORE memory! All my apps and photos will fit!!!! WOOT!

I am such a lucky geek girl! 

 

Things don't matter people do...but I am enjoying these items!

 

Harumph

Its my last free day before I am sent back to the salt mines of working. I am just not enjoying it anymore. It makes me sad. I had such a passion for my work, and I am now drained of it. So today I keep going back and forth between denial and dread! LOL 

I did not accomplish all that I wanted to on my week vacation, like cleaning my house, but who needs a really clean house? Well me, so I can have people over without shame! ha but I did do my laundry, clean my bathroom, actually threw some things away! go figure! Especially since I really don't use hair spray and some of the goop I bought thinking it would make me beautiful rather than the hag I am turning into! Dreams in the garbage! LOL The loose skin on my neck did NOT firm! LOL

I did spend some time in my garden, I have Crackers in her outside cage, because she has decided to be annoying lately...she is whining as I type because she wants back in! That is no! It is a nice day and you will LOVE the patio damn it! LOL AND stop screaming and getting on my last nerve!

I tried to find the 2nd skein of orange fire yarn I bought and misplaced since I have knit up the 1st skein and want to wear the damn scarf! A reason TO clean my studio! To find things! To finish things! LOL I am still binding the Lucy book, I put two more signatures in, but I get so sad I have to stop. Maybe this will get done! It makes me miss her when I work on this.

I have to get some balance back in my life. Since being on facebook I haven't really been keeping this up and if I don't keep this up why do I have it? I just paid for another year...I better use it! It just seems lately that every thing is speeding up, that there is no time to do all that I want to do, and that time is running out. I don't know why I feel that way, it scares me.  I just feel so mortal lately.  I guess I just have not stopped obsessing about death since Lucy was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. I have not been able to shake the sadness...and some times it just feels like it is coming out of my pours. And I am VERY weepy today. I keep tearing up...I am still so raw feeling. I think I hate hormones! especially when they are out of whack!

The dust and mildew in my bedroom is not helping with my health. I have been working for weeks on my room, to clean it up and make it more healthy. I think I am going to be forced to have help. I may capture WGB's daughter to help me purge the closet and forward clothes on to Good will and be done with the over crowding of clothes! And shoes! It is time to parr down...and get rid of some things...there is just too much still! I was able to clean up enough and open some windows to get some movement going. It was a rough Winter.  Since she is young and not in pain I will have her dust my room...I tried today and had to stop. I did vacuume and get my bed linens in the washer...I was able to clean around the windows and they are open and pulling a breeze through! I feel better about that! I think I may get it all together at some point! Wouldn't THAT be nice! I am starting to wonder if this DEEP sadness I can't seem to shake is depression from the thyroid being whacky...I know the anxiety is, so maybe this sadness is too. I hope these meds start to get balanced! I am tired of feeling this way!

I still cannot make a decision about my phone! I almost bought the Droid X yesterday, but then right when I was going to push the button, WGB said he was reading a post about how ONLY 20% of Droid users would buy another one! Whereas, 70% of iPhone users would buy another iPhone...I keep going back and forth on this! I love me some Apple products...but do I need to pay an average of 12% more for it when I have the iTouch and the iPad?

Ok...off to make some art now...

Long day

If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me. -- Ann Landers

I was the ONLY one at work today in my office! Pout...It was a LONG BORING day and I cranked the music and answered a whole 7 calls! WITH the 5 lines coming in! BORING!

And here are the results of my sketching today and adding the watercolor...I am happy my garden is doing well, AND the seeds I planted from my friend Loretta is baring flowers now! How pretty!  And look at my beautiful salad I had tonight! So fresh! Happy Friday every one!

 

"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring." -- Oscar Wilde

Today, not so good, steps 1,840. I wasn't feeling too good, my legs are still swollen damn it...It was the LONGEST most BORING day at work! Really hard to get through! Thank gawd for my iPod! Off to watch Ghost Whisperer...I have to say I am LOVING my new make-up!

Hope and changes

It was good enough to run off to the beach...but I was stuck at work! What a beautiful day of 72 degrees... California Winter is CRAZY this year.

"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." -- H. Jackson Brown

Grumpy...

Sore throat AGAIN...damn it! I am down right grumpy now! I guess I will call the doc and make an appt tomorrow... rolling eyes!

On the couch...between sleeping and watching the View...now Hellboy...trying to catch up with some things, did a little knitting on my shrug...but mainly just damn grumpy on the couch with my iTouch...trying to figure it all out!

My grandmother called me today, to wish me a Merry Christmas, she heard from Margaret that I have been sick all month and got a little worried. She sounded good! My dad and her went to Margarets for Christmas...finally they put their big panties on and did it for grandma since it is most likely the last year she will be able to. She turns 90 on the 31st and all of us know the time is coming sooner than later. It was great talking to her...in fact, she said on her birthday she is calling her last sibling who is alive, Stella, and make up. They haven't talked in 15 years or more...

But NO PRESSURE! snort

Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are! -Chinese proverb

...pout...

I am still feeling like crap but the WGB made me get up take a shower and move around. I was starving so we went to lunch at Sizzler and then since I was up I figured we would go to Best Buy for a case for my iTouch, I am afraid of scratching it in my purse. I found one that has a cover to the front and bought that one! FINALLY they had the photo key chains I originally wanted! I picked some up!

But the WGB couldn't find what he was looking for so we went to the Apple store...and I walked across the street to Borders. I found a mole skin and a journal I wanted, and a healthy back book for $3 which he charged me full price until I figured it out...and he had to put the rest of the money back on my card!

A little cheer

Well my son stopped by for the holiday...we watched movies...super hero day...Batman the Dark Knight, Hancock, My Super Ex Girlfriend...we both took a short nap. We had a nice time even though I am STILL sick! Gah... Still having a learning curve with the iTouch!

We cooked a roast in the slow cooker...YUM...and then he left...I am always sad when he leaves. I sent his sisters gifts with him. That is one thing my kid LOVES to eat! And I am glad he has a sense of humor! Super Vernon in the Santa Hat! AND Fatty boy was SO happy to have HIS boy home, he kept looking at me and looking at him, not knowing where to lay! I told him lay on the boy, he is hardly ever home and I am always here...I swear he looked at me and then jumped on him and was content on the boy! LOL You cannot tell me they don't understand!

Merry Ho-Ho-Ho

Well, my son wanted to come over today, but when I woke up this morning I had a REALLY hard time trying to breathe, all the goop stuck in my throat and chest...I asked him to come tomorrow...he has enough family to find time to see some of them...and maybe tomorrow I will even be able to cook. My daughter text messaged me a Merry Christmas. I sent one back.

Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. -Benjamin Franklin

It was drama free...and quiet...sat around watching movies and recovering on the couch...for the WGB that means Bond, James Bond! For me, vampire movies...and a little Cary Grant...It was a day learning new computers, iTouches, and digital photo frames! AND I am personally HAPPY this holiday season is coming to an end! Whew!

 

Exploration...

I wanted to go on a walk...I figured around our area...and the WGB figured we would continue our walk and exploration along the Bay. I didn't even KNOW about this park...and neither did he and I was grateful there was a bathroom! It was a seriously beautiful day! I wore the wrong shoes for pebbles flying in them and sweater and levi shirt was too much! Who knew it would be so nice on the Bay!
