Deep In The Forrest

Short story today, it's Monday, I've been busy. The weekend was okay, went to the Casino mainly to see a band with my friend Glenda, didn't gamble, just ate at Bally's. Saturday night went to see "The Help" with my BFF, Tamra, good movie, I liked it anyway, thought it was a little crowded for my "unibomber" taste. :) Then Sunday went to a sort of Wake for one of the members of our Motorcycle Riding group who passed away this past Thursday, so that was of course a downer, but he was suffering, and I'm glad he's in a better place. Sunday night of course it was True Blood before bed, then a hard nights rest, before waking to yet another week of the grind. No related music video to include today, nothing really comes to me. :) Later on... AJ

Friday, August 14, 2009 @ 4:30 p.m. It's Friday and I can't be glad enough. Earlier I had ideas that I wanted to blog about so maybe I should have waited until later in the evening to sit down to this so I could concentrate and really think more about the points I want to get across. I'm sure I have a cool post in here somewhere. [Pause] Sunday, August 16, 2009 @ 8:00 p.m. Wow, ok I have certainly blog-slacked again, as I started this post Friday and the weekend hit and I just did not stop really until now. I never had enough time since Friday's beginnings to stop and finish it up, so I will just do that dramatic time lapse thingy and you will enjoy it hehe. Ok, so what happened between "Somewhere", the [Pause] and now? Let's see, where do I start? It's not that interesting at all really. Friday when I got off work, I guess first we went to grab something to eat, and Mr. J drank about half a bottle of Gentleman Jack, and we stayed up way too late . I w...

Here I am, working on getting perked up... working on getting back in touch with my writing, blogging and having my head back in the game. It's one of those things, I know anyone might say, blog or don't blog. Who cares? Well, it is one of those things. I love to write, love to blog, it's one of my "therapies" so I would prefer to continue it. Even if I had nobody to read or comment, I would still want to, even though I do love my visitors with a purple passion! ;) First off today, I must share this video that my ol' man (if I am talking biker trash), or 'the ol' ball-n-chain', or if I wanted to be sugary, sickeningly sweet, I could say my 'sugar-pie honey bunches of delicious love muffin excellence', but I know he'd kill me--lol, so I will settle to say "Mr. J" shared with me. Do you remember the ol' Rick Astley "Rick Roll" video that went around the net for so long, where people would share a link with you or y...

I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim...

Oh I seriously do not want to make a post today. I really don't. There's nothing that I feel very moved to talk about, except for feeling "burned out" on everything right now. I need to get away and have a weekend trip sometime soon, I just need to recharge my batteries... I want to. :) I'll just give you a quick run-down of the Cheech and Chong "show". When we were invited to go to this, I felt like we were made to believe that we were going to see the show, as in "free tickets" and going to actually be there. This was not the case. My husband's Mom is a member of the "diamond club" because she does a certain amount of gambling there... so she and Uncle Jorge's wife were supposed to be able to take in 2 guests a piece. First of all they had trouble with this, as the casino hosts said this wasn't the case. They got that straight, but we found out that we weren't going to be "AT" the show, but rather listening...

The full moon has of course been affecting things. Always funky a few days before and after, but all-in-all, still surviving. So that's all that counts really. Was all in "TGIF" mode Friday, and ready to roll when a strange flapping sound happened to my back left tire on the battlemobile. Turned out that I had an Allen wrench in it. That's quite curious. Anyways, it's still up at the shop as they didn't have time Saturday to get to me, and were backed up with several customers. So they will finish up and change oil for me, and I'll pick it up first thing in the morning. That didn't make it very easy to get back down to Mom's as I had planned though, to help her through another sleepless night. I ended up staying home last night because the weather was too cold to go back down on my bike. I went back down today though, but was cutting it close and still froze my ass off. My thighs are still defrosting as we speak. All's well that ends well I sup...

W eekend has been buzzing by, there were things I had planned on doing that I didn't get to take care of such as picking up some things from my Sister's house (sorry Vick! If you are inclined to give me another chance then perhaps this Friday or Saturday? Don't look at me like that, I'll make good I swear!) With the time change, and the days being shorter, I think this last week has really thrown me for a loop... Not to mention the low-energy bit. But I am feeling a bit more perky today. Perhaps it is because I did a good deed. I went to church with my Mother and performed a song for her, basically I wanted to give her a lift because she's seemed so down the last few days. She won't admit it, but I could hear it in her voice. So since she'd been begging me to come play piano and do a special song for so long, I thought it might lift her spirits. It seemed to help. Most everyone realizes that I am not a fan of organized religions, or the way things seem to go...

Lawd-have-mercy it sho is Monday! :) As we all know, there just aren't any good Mondays. Unless, of course, you always have Monday off, or you don't buy into the farce of 'the existence of time', and don't worry with it. I would do that, but I bind myself to a job because I have some things and am unable to let go of the imprisonment of my earthly greed and obsession with material things... I'm not the worst in the world mind you, but I do have some things I don't want to part with, my home (even though it's humble), my motorcycle, and some electronic gadgets. Anyroad, I had an overall o.k. weekend, Friday night we went to the Young Avenue Deli to chill with Rob and Meg. There was NOT a band playing that night, so there was no cover charge. We just snacked and visited for a while. Saturday was not a productive day at all, mostly lazy I guess. I rather enjoyed sleeping in, I slept wayyy late, and then just vegetated a lot it seems. Yesterday (Sunday, D...
