Memories

They can just pop up, with the sight of the littlest things.

Just like Friday night, I was spending the night with GS, and had put on a mud mask, when, whaddya know? Memory.

Summer 2004,

KY(my cousin,who's expecting), and I had just finished applying mud-masks, and were waiting for them to dry, and had wandered into the living room to see what GS was up too, and were captivated(after scaring her, and Max{the dog in her posts, this was before Maggie} by the sound of slow, romantic music coming from the T.V. She decided we were all going to try to slow dance...3 people...didn't turn out so good, but it was all in good fun. Then, we switched the music to the 70's, and she proceeded to teach us how to dance,...the shimmy. For those of you who do not know what the shimmy is, it's a dance, with movements...like so... and do, remember...we were trying to do this dance at like...8 and 11...so we weren't "developed" and found it very hard. And, if you could have looked into her window you would have seen 3 girls, attempting to "shimmy" with long tee-shirts on, hair pulled back, and green & blue mud on their faces...what a sight. But the memories, will last forever.

Oh,the days...

The days...

Of laughter...
Of music...
Of $30 going to about 12 different things...
Of late nights spent looking at pictures...
Of summer...
THIS summer...
What do you know, it DID turn out to be a good one!

Just like tonight, we were driving home...listening to the Til Tuesday and Depeche Mode cassettes that I bought today when we were junkin'. And earlier tonight, Jaden jamming out to the Beatles' "Let It Be" record I got yesterday. That child...little as she may be, has turned around my whole outlook on infants. Before her, I thought of them as demons...and little pests..but now, spending so much time with her...she is so loved, and she's precious, and beautiful. So, thank you, "Jaden's mom" (Didn't know if you want your name on here), for letting all of us get to know her. Thank you all, for an unforgettable summer! I love y'all!



.....Here's to you!

August

The 3rd day of August....ugh...days closer to returning to prison...
Anyway, I'm being haunted...
By those birds who launched attack on me the first time.
I was ouside.
Just sitting.
And they started calling my name!
I am NOT kidding!
I'm seriously not.
They want revenge on me!
Or, maybe I'm just going insane.
Either way.

Interesting things about August::
1. July was named after Julius Caesar...."July"..."Julius". His nephew, Augustus defeated Cleopatra and Marc Antony, so it was said he should have a month named after him also. Hence, "August"...."Augustus"

And August 3rd::
1. It's the 218th day of the year


2. 8/3/1527---First known letter is sent from North America by John Rut while at St. John's, Newfoundland.


3. 8/3/1673---Robert LaSalle builds the Le Griffon, the first known ship built in America.


4. 8/3/ 1783---Mount Asama erupts in Japan, killing 35,000 people.

A pretty suprise

This is the view COMIC and I saw yesterday evening.

We were sitting on our back-porch swing, watching, after he had just put up the new hummingbird feeders. They're so fast, those little buggers! And small! So very small that you can barely see them! Anyways, here's some facts::::::::

Facts:

Hummingbirds are found only in North America and South America.
Hummingbirds are found as far north as southeastern Alaska and as far south as southern Chile.
South America has the biggest variety of hummingbirds and more than half the species are found there. The country of Ecuador in northwestern South America has the largest number of hummingbirds of any one country with 163 different species.
There are over fifty species of hummingbirds that regularly breed in Mexico.

Hummingbirds range in size from the smallest (the Bee Hummingbird of Cuba that weighs about 2.2 grams) ..... to the largest (the Giant Hummingbird of South America that weighs about 20 grams).

Unlike other birds, a hummingbird can rotate it's wings in a circle. Because of this special hummingbird fact, they are the only bird that can fly both forwards and backwards. They can also fly up, down, sideways, hover in one spot, or fly upside down for short distances.
Normal flight speed for hummingbirds is about 25 miles per hour, but they have been clocked at speeds in excess of fifty miles per hour during their courtship dives.
During normal flight a hummingbirds wings beat about 60-80 times per second. In their courtship dives they might beat up to 200 times per second.

Hummingbirds will feed 5 to eight times every hour for 30 to 60 seconds at a time

Yay!

I adore that song! It's so fun-filled!

Well, I'm off to GS's to spend the night! And have fun(working)! :)

And she thought I was a packrat...

Ashatasha IS the packrat!
COMIC and I were going through the attic of his house yesterday, un-earthing (literally) FORTY-THREE and plus, HEAVY and FULLY loaded boes of stuff. After we'd ALREADY done this before! It's truly amazing that almost two years after divorce, you can STILL find stuff to move. And she calls me a packrat...ha.

Little things in life..are truly cherished

Tons of Memories with my sisters....PRICELESS

When all else fails, tear apart a Password Journal

Usually, I don't mind when I lose things.

Usually, I can replace them.

Unless they're vintage

Because then they're just too expensive.

But this particular piece of jewelry.

I can't find it.

And I need to.

Because I can't replace it.

And I've looked....everywhere.

No sign.

It's the ring that my cousin RC, sent to me in the early 2000's.

And I loved it.

But somewhere in between the moving of two houses, I seem to have misplaced it.

And I have overturned my room, every single piece of it with a desperate hope of finding it.

Nothing...

And it was the most beautiful ring for a 7 year old child, A Pink Rhinestone Angel with a delicate little golden halo and band.

I really don't know what it is about this ring, but...it's like magic.

Ever since it hasn't been on my finger, I haven't had good luck.

Let's all hope it can be found!

one flew over the cuckoo's nest

That's apparently exactly what I did this morning.

And now I hate birds.

Of any kind.

I was just walking along the driveway, listening to some music, and basically doing nothing. I started seeing two birds flying, and thought nothing of it, that they were just passing overhead, and continued walking. Until, I saw something out of the corner of my eye just inches from me. It was the bird, wait, no, TWO birds. Flying at my head like it was some game. I ran, full speed down the road as the winged creatures continued to dive bomb me, still playing their game. And play they did, all the way to Ashatasha's house.

And now I think I'm mentally scarred and scared for life.

AND now know exactly how these people feel

and the spree continues...

Gah, again with the food.

Popcorn.....Peanut Butter and Honey bowls....ice cream....chocolate bars...basically anything that I can get my hands on without having to go too far into the dark dungeon of terror that I like to call the living room. Yeah, I'm definitly all up for some food right now!


Soon I'm gonna turn into a...only God knows what.


Ah how I love going to GenerationSwap's house!


The sweet smell of food cooking and sound of cracking Pepsi's open.


And of course, my grandmother...http://myaimlessinfatuation.blogspot.com/


Lately, and for quite a few months now, I've been feeling like getting in touch with family that I haven't comminucated with in a decade probably...and boy, does it feel good, just to know that they are still doing okay.


And smelling the refreshing smell of honeysuckle has affected me too.


I just need to take a break.


Enjoy these little things.


Step away from the holds of technology, and just ride, to nowhere really, just away.


Too bad I don't have a car.


But what about you guys?


I want to know about you.

so very sorry.

Yes...it has been awhile since I actually POSTED.

So very sorry for that.

But here are the updates:::

2. I'm having to read two books, AND do reports on them.

3. Burn cds.

Sigh...shall I continue?

Here goes the rest of my summer.

Dang.

Just for Fun....

I took the "handwriting personality" quiz on gURL.com
		my handwriting personality is... sensitive scripter Your handwriting reveals you as a thoughtful, intellectual type who avoids fake people and places where there's lots of noise and crowds. You're probably the one people go to when they're feeling super sad. Read more... What does your handwriting reveal about you?

Ahem, odd, isn't it?

oh, joy!

After resting from 3am-8am yesterday, we had a fun filled swim party at one of the Church families houses, for 6 hours. And guess what? I still got no sun. But it was entirely and unbelievably fun! And our plans for the 4th of July are, "staying home and cleaning" OH....joy. What are all of your plans?

Tricky

Tomorrow is going to be good. Today was. But Tomorrow will be better. Because of one reason. well, two.

1/ It's Tuesday
2/ Tomorrow's post....is dedicated to a very amazing actor/actress.


Let's see if ya can guess......

ouch

Is everyone just going to report all around "The King of Pop is dead...and we don't know why"




HELLOOOOOOOOWWWWW,,,,, newsFLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FARRAH FAWCETT DIED TOO!!!!

But, still, both deaths were pretty said. And yes, it did seem like some joke when we heard that he died, but he wasn't the only one.

and as too the "Ouch"-------------
I broke my toenail off down into the quick, so therefore, it hasn't been the best day. Sorry for causing you to squirm in your seats.

To two souls...May they rest in peace.

Firstly....Most of you may know that we lost two amazing celebrities today. The beautiful Farrah Fawcett, and well...the great musician, Michael Jackson...

Farrah Leni Fawcett

She was born in Corpus Christi, Texas on Feb/2/1947.

And, her first big movie role was Myra Breckenridge in 1970.

In 2006, she was diagnosed with Cancer, and went through a long battle, until her death today at 9:28 am at St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica, California in the ICU. Her ex-husband Ryan O' Neil and longtime friend Alana Stewart were at her bedside vigil.

Michael Joseph Jackson

Okay, I know more about him, because I listened to his music.

He was born in 1958, 29th, August in Gary, Indiana

He had 9 brothers and sisters, in which he was in the Jackson 5 with:::: Marlon, Tito, Jermaine, Jackie, and himself. He was also siblings with Janet, Maurine and Latoya, and brothers with Randy. He suffered some really screwed up abuse from his father, mentally and physically. And, the Jackson 5 had some really great hits, as well as he. He was found under cardiac arrest in his home in Homely Hills in LA this afternoon, as fans screamed out "save him!", he was carried to the hospital, where they tried to revive him, but could not.

His Best::::::::

Thriller, Beat It, Dirty Diana, and Man in the Mirror

Jackson 5's Best:::::::::

ABC, Ben, and Rockin' Robin

Although he had his "very strange deals" he made some truly great music, by no doubt.

Both souls will truly great in completley different ways, and will both be treasured.

Happy Father's Day to all.......................................................................

Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day
sermon in 1909.
Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state.
After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. President Richard Nixon signed the law which finally made it permanent in 1972
