Busy, Busy Busy

Quick post tonight. I am almost shocked at how busy the day was today. I was doing errands all over the place and snapped pictures in the progress. I got the idea to document our last few days here in earnest and I'm trying to get pictures of the people and places who made a big impact on our lives here. I know there will be MANY people not included in the images but they will be forever printed on my heart.

The cats had their health certificates done up tonight and vaccines updated. They fly out this Saturday to stay at my parents house while the husband, girl and I are in our Nomadic state. When we get settled in the new place all the cats need to have their teeth cleaned. Tai-Grr needs to have a completel blood panel done and his heart listened to again. Slight murmur was heard tonight. Roofus needs to have his blood work checked up on as well. I will need to start looking for a job to pay for the Vet bills.

And I'm off! Thanks for stopping by again!

Please accept my apologies for

Please accept my apologies for the lack of proper blog. I was getting back in touch with an old friend, doing chores, and playing DJ at blip.fm

dreams

I awoke from a somewhat strange dream this morning:
I was at a condo with a shared pool, exploring the place because I was just visiting. In the pool was a large black lab and it was using the body of a deceased woman like a play raft. She was wrapped in a white gauze cocoon and in the pale state of rigor mortis. I calmly went back inside to find my host. By the time we returned, which was not very long, the body had been removed and the yard was filled with people socializing. The dog was all dry and working the crowd for finger foods and ice from their cocktails. My host was puzzled and I insisted that I really did see the dog playing with a corpse.

Not sure what to make of that. It was pretty surreal. I'm glad that I jotted it down while eating breakfast with my girl or else I wouldnt' be able to recall most of it now.

As for dreams in the awakened state, I would love to develop and digitize my own film. I miss it. The whole process was enjoyable. I don't think it will be happening for quite a while if at all though. It is too cost prohibitive right now. If I were to go this route, I'd be sacrificing my DSLR for it. I'm not willing to do that right now.

Yes, I decided on a DSLR rather than a fancy point and shoot. It seems as though for the cost of a P+S to get the speed I'd need to capture kids playing, the price of the camera would be about the same as a DSLR. But with the P+S not being able to have interchangable lenses I would be limited in what I could capture.

I'm trying to decide what to do for my farewell get together with the second families I've made while here on Oahu. Since I'm going to try to bring two groups together, a large turn out is anticipated and I'm thinking that a beach park picnic would be best with a BYOFood policy in effect. I can probably supply some drinks and filler food, but don't have the time or money to provide everything for another big party again. We are still killing the left overs from the Promotion Party. Another option would be to hit up a Karaoke place. I know that would exclude lots of my mama friends though.

Thanks for reading, more another time!

nothing to say, really. (1st "BLOG NAKED")

Dry spell. Haven't been abel to bring myslef to blog about the mundane every dya type stuff. It's the same old, same old, complete with typeos and senseless babblings. It would be funny, one day for every blogger to agree to jsut type and then post their blogs with no editing. Typos, mis-spellings, grammatacal errors and all. BLOG NAKED! Whee, that is what I'd call it! It could be the hottest new movement on the web since twitter and flickr (at least those were huge in my life). But I don't know... How many people would really do it? How many people think it would be worth it to do it? I certainly wouldn't hold a business blog to do it. But people who only do personal blogging like I do or maybe someone who does do personal blogging buyt some professional stuff on the side, I'd 'hold' to it. This wouldnt be a permanent thing. Just maybe a once a week tyoe thing. Just for fun and of course tellign people that you really do usually take the effort to edit the blog abnd show them that you are in fact an intelligent person. We all know that our fingers have a mind of their own sometimes. Something like this would help make spell checkers feel so mucgh more lvboed because after an autrocious entry like this you better believe that spell checmk is ever so muych more utilized. So we will see. I will probably think of a set date. Hopefully one with significance to launch the event. Like Secretaries Day? Or I guess that is "Administrative Assistant" these days. Got to love political correctness! Got to run, dinner's done!

sorry...

I had this great plan to make two awesome blogs today but I don't have any idea what to write about. Life is in a mundane state of limbo. Still. This waiting on our orders is killin' me. There's a storm ripping through the Island right now and while the worst part is on the other side of the Island it is highly likely that we will have power outages as well. Schools are being called off for the day tomorrow and many places of employment are only staffing with crucial personnel. Husband technically doesn't have to go in to work but we are really hoping to get this paper work sorted out!

I figured out why I'm on the pale nail polish kick. The pale colors seem to be soothing. Keeping the nails polished has been nice, the extra layers are helping them grow out some more. The holiday stress put me on a picking and biting binge, although really I didn't have much to 'worry' about. Only did cards this year and very minimal decorating.

Drank some Red Bull this afternoon. It was OK plain but since tomorrow's Friday that calls for a shot of Jaegermeister to be added, which will surely improve the flavor!

I think when we arrive at our final destination I will look into taking English classes. It feels like my writing skills have gone in the toilet and comprehension leaves much to be desired as well.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading!

stay tuned...

Tomorrow will be another two for the click of one blogging day. I kick myself off the internet every night, 11:30pm sharp, and I just ran out of time tonight.
Talk to you more soon!

Play that funky music, white girl!

It is a fun night of tunes blasting from my speakers. I checked out blip.fm and am streaming songs from MySpace Music. I've always loved music and have one song (sometimes two clashing!) going through my head almost all the time. On tonight's play list have been Stabbing Westward, Creed, White Zombie (and Rob Zombie) and Tool. I also checked out Shonen Knife.

This pretending to be DJ thing is fun. I should look into blip.fm further to see if it meets what I'm looking for: A site where I can save unlimited songs into a playlist so when some random song starts going through my head I can search for it and put it on my list. Then I could play immediately and save it for next time it creeps in. Sometimes the only way a song is forced out of my head is to hear it.

Right now I'm needing "Sober" by Tool.

When someone tells you the song going through their head, does it go into your head too? :)

Well, I promised a blog a day and even though the clock has already turned itself ahead, I haven't. So, it looks like two blogs in one day but in theory isn't.

Today I will discuss my essential beauty items. I'm basically a low maintenance type of girl with my products. But there are a few gems out there in the beauty world that I feel deserve recognition. So here are a couple of them, more to come later!

Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat- This topcoat has saved the life of my manicures. I was so close to never painting my nails again as long as I lived because I'd always wake up to sheet marks! Not any more with my beloved Seche! This top coat applies a little differently. You glop on a nice big drop and sort of smooth it around on the nail and let it glide over the color to apply. Wait just a few minutes and BOOM! Shiny and smooth as glass manicure that is hard as rocks. When ever my bottle gets to half I get into panic mode and must get a new one to have on hand. I've never done that with a product before.

Urban Decay Primer Potion- One thing which always used to ruin my day would be when I'd spend a good twenty minutes getting my eye make up /just right/ then look in the mirror a quick two hours later and see it faded and smudged. The UDPP makes the fading and smudging a thing of the past. Pat this pale beige creamy base onto where you'll be applying your eye makeup and your hard work isn't budging! (Well at least from the environmental causes. If you are going to smash your fists into your eyes when you rub at them, then all bets are off.)

I am Happy.

Happy to have knocked out some boxes of old junk for the pre-move preps.
Happy to know that even though today was another day we did not get our moving orders, it is still one day closer to knowing when that day will be.
Happy that my girl is a budding bibliophile and enthusiastic about education.
Happy to be paying it forward.
Happy to have loads of clean clothes, yet have cat fur plastered all over some other clothes.
Happy that the Muses are out there, inspiring so many people to create so many awesome things.
Happy there is Happiness!
Happy to see people I care about in places they love.
Happy that the sun was out today, and that we got out to enjoy it.
Happy to know that maybe some of these things make you happy too...
=)
