The Cherry got Popped....
I bet that got your attention. Ok..here is the scoop. Rob popped a cherry. (not Cherrie) Geeze where is your mind?
I made a chicken dish, after watching on Rachael Ray. It had chicken, and a sauce/relish of celery, onion, white wine, chicken broth and dried cherries. So...when a couple of days later, Rob was microwaving some up, guess what, the cherry popped. I laughed and said...ahhh...another cherry popped.
Ok..so back to the season...retail season. I have purchased quite a few of my gifts. I will let you know, if you are getting something from me, it is either from walmart, avon, victoria secret or possibly homemade. What a selection huh? Well....maybe you will get one of the better ones. I am kinda proud of what I got at Walmart for my office exchange gift. Pretty nifty. Some of may never make it home.
So...while Rob got something for the guys, I got something special for the gals. He needs to get something for his mom, and the two little girls, but then most of our stuff is done, except for maybe Cass and Rob buying a few gifts. I do need to get something for the dogs... I did forget that part.
So admist the cold wet weather, christmas lights..(Yep..we got some outside) and greenbean casserole....and the retail mecca of Christmas, the holiday season is rolling right along. Dogs going to doctors and finding their warm spot inside.
Oh...did I mention that our furnace went out this morning...Yeah. Ok...where is the electric blanket?

DREAMS...?
If you know me, you know I am into weather. This dream does not have anything to do with that...
I had a dream, I was in San Antonio. It started at the corner of Callahan and IH 10. It was bad weather. We were in a Jeep Cherokee. I was in the back seat passenger side. I do not know who the others were; there was a total of 4-5 people in the jeep. We were going south on Callahan and at the light at IH 10. There was a tornado that came up over the building and wiped it out. It then turned down the side road of IH 10 (feeder road), and started bouncing around on the buildings and homes headed towards Wurzbach. We headed down towards Wurzbach behind the tornado, figuring we were safe.
Do you know those air tunnels…that are like invisible, but you see waves of air…like on TV? Well…This tornado bounced right in front of us and we drove through it. It was that invisible tunnel of air when we entered…then the screen (what I saw in my dream) did a spiral on the screen making everything smear together. Then it unsmeared we saw dirt flying in front of us and then we were out of the tornado and everything was back to normal. We went through this a total of 5 times, showing we went through the tornado 5 times.
Then I woke up. I do not know who I was with. I thinking the jeep was dark navy blue. I do not know who was driving. I just know what I went through and where I was. Strange that it be San Antonio, just blocks from where I lived when I went to middle school, before moving on to Boerne.
Anyway…since the most significant is Tornado…here is a brief dream interpretation of Tornados in a dream…
1- tornado - Being overwhelmed by work or circumstances. You are stressed out. If you are overtaken: Things are out of control in your life. If you escape from or avoid it: You are stressed but can handle the situation.
2-Tornado-To see a tornado in your dream, suggests that you are experiencing some extreme emotional outbursts and temper tantrums. Is there a situation or relationship in your life that may be potentially destructive?
To dream that you are in a tornado, signifies that you are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. You will be met with a series of disappointments for the next week or so. Your plans will be filled with complications.
To see several tornadoes in your dream, represent people around you who are prone to violent outbursts and shifting mood swings. It may also symbolize a volatile situation or relationship.
3-An overwhelming and/or destructive situation in the dreamer's life, most likely out of the dreamer's control. A feeling of being taken advantage of or victimized, especially suddenly or in an unpredictable way
4-Tornado-If you dream that you are caught up in a tornado, or see other people in one, or you are in danger from a tornado, then you will find all your well laid business plans come to naught and failure will dog your footsteps until you do something to change your chances of success; more education, better training or so forth.
So...if you have any ideas of what all this means, let me know your thoughts. I know work has been a bit stressful and there has been someone in our lives that has caused some stress and unexpected last minute plan changes. I have been trying to relax, including crochet. (4 scarves now and 3 cup cozy's.--like those cardboard cup holders...those are cup cozys.)

survey says....
E2: The Everything Test 2
There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too!
Version 2 is leaner, meaner, and features a more mature and varied set of questions than the previous test. Enjoy!
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Politics Your political views would best be described as Libertarian, while philosophically you tend to think like a Conservative. | Socioeconomic Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Middle Class. You make more than 85% of those who have taken this test, and 4% more than the U.S. average. |
| You tend to think more like an artist than an engineer. | Location-wise, you would probably be a good fit for the City. |

In the spirt of things....
To share,We had cornish game hens, green bean casserole, stove top, homemade mashed taters wi/cheese and sour cream, punkin pie and cranberry jelly. Went off pretty well. We had someone over, Aki. For those that know...yes, some of us are more generous and understanding than others. Anyway...of course we sat around watched TV, How its Made and Ratatoulie (whatever) and I crocheted. Then we all kinda went our way after the sleet and SNOW...yes...snow in dallas, Irving to be exact. Then I went on to look at the ads in the two local papers. took about 1.5 hours. only found a couple of things I would really like, the rest is just fluff. I guess it is all fluff, isnt it.
Good health, decent health. job, food, car, home. Those are the importants. then friends and family. those are importants too.
some of our friends and family's are not in such good health. one has cancer in her lung, one had her hand busted up in an accident. one is having exploratory to check for cancer, another has a good case of alzheimers. one has high blood pressure.then there are the younger ones with kids. passionate boisterous kids. happy healthy kids.there are acquaintences that are nice to have on your side and are out there for you.there are the friendly 4 footed emo's with fur---cats and dogs. (personally I am a dog person, but hey.)
So in the spirit of things, joy is being able to eat a dinner in a warm place without being in the sleet and snow.having enough to pay your bills and maybe a skein of yarn.
Happiness, Health and Warmth to you all.C

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. For 232 years we have protected and defended this country from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Here are a few thoughts as I look back over the years.
While most people sat at home in their easy chair, we lived in dirty holes and behind sandbags. Our transportation wasn't a BMW or VW. It was tanks, planes and helicopters. Our work wasn't in an office that had a cleaning crew, air conditioning and worrying whether making a decision would cost us our jobs. Our work was closing with the enemy and destroying his effectiveness, often at the expense of our own lives.
While many people were home demonstrating against this country and its commitment, we were demonstrating to the world that this greatest nation on Earth was willing to fight for the freedoms that most of its citizens took for granted and most of the rest of the world didn't have. While most Americans watched TV, we watched tracers criss-crossing.
There's no such thing as an ex-Marine. As the years go by we may be older and less slim but we are still Marines. There is not a one of us that, if our country called once more, would not go. Remember - In the Marine Corps, we run toward the sound of shooting - not away from it.
The next time you see a Marine, thank him for his willingness to place himself or herself in harm's way so that you can be safe.
SEMPER FI and GOD BLESS THE MARINES!!
Rob (Master Sergeant, USMC)

Thanksgiving...or Thanks Giving or Thankful or Thank Full?
Hello folks, it is that time again...no not the female time thing. The Thanksgiving time. Early?? No. Everyday is thanksgiving day. You woke up didnt you? You have a roof over your head? food in your belly? Most of us have a car.
There are other things too. Like small goals for your day. I had 2 today. one was getting my insurance/cafeteria plan. done. the other to get my lists out to my vendors. done.
I had a bigger one that I was stuck on. Maddie. What to do. Irving passed a law that would essentially mean we had a couple of options. A-Move. B-ask the landlord(we rent) if we can make changes to the existing fence, (most would really freak out at that idea.) or c-quit my job to stay home with the dog. (is she really a dog or an emo with fur??) or d-euthanize her. You see Maddie was the next door neighbors dog. They had gotten stuck in New Mexico and Maddie was out of food, so she jumped the fence. (AKA--JUMPER). The pound eventually picked her up. We got her from the pound for our neighbors one hour before her euthanization time. We brought her home, told the neighbors...we got maddie for you. We were told by the lady that it was his dog and they had broken up. I asked her for his or if would call and she flat out refused. So now we have had Maddie, our person with fur since the first Friday in January.
We tend to treat our dogs as our friends and family. They are spoiled. Scamp sleeps with us or my daughter. Maddie comes in everynight, gets fresh food and water twice a day. she did have a 30 foot cable until the Irving City Council decided that any dog tied up with out it's owner staring at it in front of the dog, was an irresponsible dog owner. You will be fined 2000.00/day if you are not in front of your dog.
So...we hemmed and hawed. (Yes...like in who moved the cheese book.) We kept to ourselves pretty much, almost afraid to discuss it and come to a conclusion. I cried at work Friday after the vote. I did not want to give up Maddie. I felt that the city I had lived in for 10 years had really let me down.
After my husband told our landlord that we had been on TV (irving cable) and also the Dallas Morning News (2nd page November 2nd), he explained he had two choices now due to the city...move and keep Cass and I, or stay, put maddie down and really pisse off Cass and I. We had been renting from her for about 10 years. I think I was late one time. Anyway we are in a nice little rental home. Been here about 1.5 years. It was built in 1955.
I get this call this week from Rob. The owner is coming by with his helper and they are going to look at the back yard. The wonderful soul built up the fence about 3 feet all around the back yard...THE WHOLE YARD. It is about 7 feet tall now. I do not think she can get out. So..there I am most Thankful this week. I see it as an HP thing. (not hewlett packard folks!)
So there are many things to be thankful for, small and large. Maddie is safe now, but is our back yard safe from Maddie? We shall see.
Thanks for reading this far.

the 10 little ladies
Good evening. It started out yesterday to be a nice evening out with my husband and daughter. We were all starving. We had a couple of errands to run so we stopped for dinner at Steak and Shake. Ya know the one at 635/McArthur? at 645-745 pm. WERE YOU THERE?
Anyway....as the story goes....we were perusing our menu's when the table of 10 women age range of 23-70, with a very young lady of 10 years old. I can tell you one their names was Cathy.
So...I am sitting with a Vietnam Marine, a outspoken college student and we are listening, of course for our enjoyment, to the "ladies" speak about how they protested the war in college (the vietnam war.) How they thought they were so "cute" protesting. Then one says...after all that crap of protesting, she actually married one of "them" a US SERVICE MEMBER that came home from Vietnam, crying. She said she listened to his "sob story" and actually cried with him for a short time. She said...I wonder why I was so stupid to listen to him...and the conversation lead to other things, such as those poor folks that get their hand me downs at the local church, and how it was so horrible to have to go pick up the clothes the consignment shop that did not sell...and on and on.
At this point, I am facing the "ladies", I use the term loosely by now. I am sure I am glowering at them. I did real well and did not mouth off. We even left at the same time, they going to take in a movie this evening. I wanted to say something, you know the Marine was still sitting there. The response was....I fought that war so they would have the freedom of speech. Sad isnt it?
It made me regret they were US citizens.....the 10 little ladies.

Thoughts
So...I seemed to have generated some flurries. At work, it appears that things are rushing around, people getting....hmmmmm, I guess stirring up the ants. My writer's group, I seemed to have upset someone's carrot cart...and of course the ever loving teenager angist.
So...If I have encited some "passion" in your way....Good, I hope.
Take care....
