“There was not another soul in the street. I was in agony because I felt I had to...”

This quote was given to me by Haushinka of the Dresden Doll’s forum, in response to my “assignment…” XD She’s awesome.

Janet Fiiiiitch!
I was really sick at work today, and it happened to be the day when I was in big dog camp and all the dogs wanted to jump up and punch me in my queasy little tummy… Then I came home and promptly got rid of my $5 turkey sandwich and scared the bejesus out of my cat… And this is after a weekend where I was so anxious about my boyfriend because of how sick he was. So all in all, I...

No one’s responded to my last blog entry, but that’s ok! I just have to spam more people… XD
I learned how to make tasty chinese foods, so we had a very asian weekend. Yesterday I made pepper steak and beef in lettuce cups, and today I made salad and gong bao chicken. Want the recipe for the Gong Bao chicken? Ok, only I’ll give it to you the way I made it… With very...

While I'm logged in... My newest misguided plan!
If you have a little business (selling jewelry or totes, lets say) or are famous or potentially famous, or even if you’re a reg’lar Plumber (lol) I’d like to feature you on here. You can choose which one to do. There’s no limit to how long or how short it has to or can be. Want to include pictures? Do it (include them as links, please have permission to use them). Please...

&What is Your Dream?
I have a lot of little dreams. I don’t follow most of them, as they DO seem very unlikely… Like my desire to start a punk rock bakery where no one uses tools or measuring devices, just hands… Probably not going to happen on my own steam, especially not with my income. But my art and my writing? I have no doubt in my mind that, in a few years if I continue working at it, I will be...
In one hour and twenty minutes
It will be 2009.
The brain thrives on symbolism. If you think about it, your birthday is just a day in the year. But it comes with feelings that you attribute to it- joy, sadness, confusion, etc. So this holiday is no different. If you’re feeling apprehensive, think of it as a fresh, clean start. A chance to make a change. If you’re feeling joyful, I’ll toast to you.
I drank a...

Some delicious November dessert recipes!
Apple Cranberry Pie, or Apple Pomegranate Pie [could be vegan, if you use a different crust recipe] Crust, makes enough for two pies (9in pie pan): 4 c flour 3/4 tsp salt 1 3/4 c butter, cold, cut into small pieces 1 TB white vinegar 1 egg 1/2 c ice cold water (I used 2/3 c instead) Mix flour and salt. Cut in the butter. It’s fun to use your hands. It should look crumbly when...

&What Makes Shadowboxers Happy? Part II
Here’s the second installment of the Shadowboxer’s happies. Hopefully the thread grows more so I can go crazy with the posting!
it’s a great day in fall.. colorfull trees, sunshine, not too cold..perfekt!
Books. Stacks and stacks of books.
Walking home with my trousers rolled up so they don’t get wet. I don’t know why it made me so happy, but it did ^_^
Books....
&What Makes Shadowboxers Happy?
I’m a member of the Dresden Doll’s forum, the Shadowbox. I put a thread up, and they posted what made THEM happy. So here’s the first installment of Shadowbox happiness.
Kool-aid, squirrels, coffee, vegan ice cream, smiling, my boyfriend, antique and vintage cameras, painting (and accidentally getting paint all over me!), popcorn, Chobits, 30 Rock.
Husband, caramel-shot-coffee,...
PUPPIES!
I work at a boarding and daycamp facility for dogs and cats… And it makes me sooo happy! The big dog daycampers pull me around when I’m trying to lead them to the group playroom, but I love that they’re so excited about playtime!! And all the little dogs that need me to carry them out of their rooms (like the ones that are so light, they go in a smaller room on top of another...

&When did I wake up today?
I love sleeping in. It’s like a mini-vacay! But waking up early and getting stuff done- like the laundry, or unpacking one of my boxes, or cleaning the kitchen- is even better. Then I don’t have to stress out about whether or not I’ll get it done, or if someone else is using the washing machines… And I have the rest of the day to watch TV or draw or just to goof off, and I...
&What Makes YOU Happy?
Finally, I’m going to do what I’ve wanted to do for a while… And post up what other people say! This ‘data’ ( ;) ) is of course collected from &WMU(h)’s facebook group (link at the top of the page! Go join! The group is open to anyone and everyone!).
Things that make me happy… spreadsheets, oreos, the perfect outfit for the day’s weather, good...
&Outside My Window
During the day, I like to sit outside on the porch with my journal. There’s a big puddle in the parking lot that has been there since we moved in, and I thought it was gross at first. But the birds and squirrels here have turned it into something good. The birds take turns, rolling in the dirt and splashing in the puddle. It’s like a spa system! The squirrels chase each other around...
&Now You Can Comment!
Finally learned how to put comments on this.
Use your new power wisely… XD
And here’s another quote for you today.
“It may feel so real inside,
But don’t forget enjoy the ride.”

&WhatDoYou(believe)?
I believe that trains and buses are always late… Unless you’re late too.
I believe that coffee is good, regardless of the temperature.
I believe that cameras help you to see the world in bite-sized pieces.
I believe that Amanda Palmer was killed by the Astronaut on the internet.
I believe that the more people you’re good to, the better your life is.
I believe that Sarah...

Do you feel better?
No matter who you are and what you do, odds are there’s always someone better than you.
But by this logic, there’s always someone worse than you.
Perhaps you never wanted to be floating in the middle of these extremes (I’m sure you want to be at the top!), but the next time the contents of your cabinets suddenly spill and shatter all over your floor… Remember that odds...
