Clever Girl

Goddess | March 26, 2009

I want to be so obviously clever that somebody will call me “clever girl.”  It always sounds better with a British accent, too.  So, it would be extra special if somebody British said it to me.
I am bubbling with ideas right now.  Too many to make happen.  It’s frustrating having only this one body and [...]

The Va-Jay-Jay Monologues

Goddess | March 26, 2009

I didn’t get to see any productions of The Vagina Monologues this year.  Usually they are productions playing around Valentines Day and often they are to raise awareness about violence against women.  Also known as V-Day.
I did get to go to Greenbelt Art Center’s production last year.  I never did get around to writing about [...]

If you take the oonb out of moonbeam, you just get meam.

It’s Way It Is

Goddess | March 24, 2009

My grandmother had a biopsy scheduled for today to check a lump in her breast.  She ended up her day with the removal of her left breast.
I’m not sure what I can say to my grandma.  I try to imagine how I would feel.
I’m just going to hope for a solid recovery from surgery - [...]

A Pepto Bismol Nation

Goddess | March 24, 2009

I hate those commercials that show somebody chowing down on a big fat chili dog and then taking some medication to stop the heartburn.  I always yell at the tv, “Well don’t eat the chili dog!!!”  But that isn’t how we operate up in here, is it?  Nope, we’re a nation full of pharmaceuticals that [...]

Gypsy Girl Tea

Goddess | March 23, 2009

It’s been chilly in the mornings.  Sometimes I want coffee.  Sometimes I want tea.  Today it was herbal tea.  I love the tins that the Zhena’s Gypsy Tea comes in.  Even if it’s a tea flavor I probably won’t drink, if it’s in one of these tins, I will buy it.  I am a sucker [...]

Manorbier Castle Looks Cool as Hell

Goddess | March 23, 2009

WEBSITE - Their website sucks a little bit, so you can go HERE to see more photos - which still isn’t a great website, but at least it has some rockin’ photos.

The End of the Birthday Week

Goddess | March 23, 2009

I had a pretty great birthday week I’d say.  I did have to get a CT of my chest and an Echo of my heart, but nobody panicked and sent me to the hospital right away, so how bad could it be?  I’ve been doing great on my dairy-free diet.  Don’t freak out, it isn’t [...]

In Sickness and In Health

Goddess | March 17, 2009

(”Dr. Office Blue” sets off my brown hair I think.)
I am feeling very mortal here recently.  I don’t remember where or who I’ve mentioned it to - it’s likely in this blog somewhere - but I was very sick with a respiratory infection from about the first weekend in November to almost Christmas.  I slept [...]

We Likey

Goddess | March 16, 2009

I found this website today.  There are so many great websites out there loaded with great images and ideas!

I Heart Mariska

Goddess | March 11, 2009

I have always like Law & Order SVU even though it deals with some pretty horrible subject matter. I think Mariska Hargitay is a great actress and for some reason I just always took a shine to her. I don’t generally follow celebrity lives, but on the local news last night they mentioned [...]

The Confusion of God

Goddess | March 10, 2009

I have been known to complain about religion at times.  Particularly Christianity.  Some of it comes from a very angry place because of all of the murder and horror dealt out in the name of God.  But sometimes, it really is just very confusing to me.  Not confusing in the sense that I can’t understand [...]

Counting My Stripy Sock Blessings

Goddess | March 9, 2009

I’ve got two new pairs of stripy socks.  They make me happy.  I know that life is fragile and happiness can be fleeting, so I will enjoy them while I can!

I got these a Kohl’s for $1.99.  They are pretty much ankle socks.  But aren’t they cute?  They say, “My Lucky Socks” on the sides.

Titanic Pain

Goddess | March 9, 2009

I have been sort of down since cracking open the Washington Post magazine yesterday morning on the porch while soaking up the beautiful morning.  An article in there was very upsetting and an image in it has stuck with me.  I know I can’t change anything that has happened but I do try and figure [...]

Sisterhood of the traveling panties?

Goddess | March 8, 2009

This post cracked me up - and it’s something I think most of us could do.  It will give your knickers a lift!
In the blog Through the Eyes of a Quilter she talks about how happy dying her panties makes her.  It made me giggle and inspired me to dye some of my own!  LOL!

Speaking of Birthdays - How About Gluten-Free Fun?

Goddess | March 5, 2009

I forgot to post these photos from Amber’s birthday at the end of January.  The poor girl can’t have gluten and it makes for some pretty ho-hum food at times.  It certainly rules out a lot of normal comfort foods like fresh baked bread and macaroni and cheese.
Over time we’ve learned to cope.  I’ve made [...]

Another Casualty

Goddess | March 2, 2009

Can’t stop…ah…ah..AAAAAHHH-CHOO…sneezing.  I am starting to think I have some allergies of some sort.  It seems a bit odd I’d be sick again so soon after being ill for almost two months at the end of 2008.  I am very very sneezy, which further makes me think it might be allergies.  Benadryl is NOT working.  [...]
