It’s a brand new day. I’m over my pissoffs. Slept a little funky, crazy dreams and what not but feel fine this morning. Fresh coffee. Said hello to all the kitty’s. Took a walk around all the prettys in the garden and said Good Morning! Gave thanks for a brand new day…

Yesterday and it’s annoyances are behind me. Today is full of promise…great clients this afternoon and evening. and tonight…I can’t believe I’m doing this but…

MIDNIGHT MOVIE OF SEX AND THE CITY 2!!!

The garden is growing well…so I thought I’d share some photos.

First bell pepper!

this is the random tomato growing in the middle of the “yard”!!!!

Castor beans at the top of the pic…morning glory grabbing hold…

I think I’ll take a note from the morning glory….just gonna grab hold!

I am annoyed.

Since this afternoon…I’ve been just pissed off and annoyed. and the reasons are stupid…but valid. my feelings are valid and my feelings are that I’m pissed off and annoyed.

I’ve tried to shake it off, but it’s held fast tonight. Throughout my favorite tv shows…

I’m trying to figure out what I’m REALLY annoyed about. Trying to figure out the underlying reason this has stuck with me tonight. I know it’s not because of my initial knee jerk reaction…even though I think that’s valid too.

So.

thought typing it out would help…so far I’m just getting angry. . . so I’ma have a cuppa hot soothing sleepy tea and take myself to the bed.

Another full day yesterday…I chopped more tree stuff down, raked more leaves…planted about eleventy million sunflower and moon flower seeds. I think that in a few months the yard will be at least…full of life.
With the compost that I got from Bonusmom, came some random bits of growth in the garden itself. One of these little bits, a punkin or squash of sorts, I transplanted into some dead space behind my “lil shed” It’s just taken right off. Hmmmm. You know what I think of Moderation…there is an entire pack of jack-o-lantern punkin seeds back there in the ground now! We’ll see! I also got two more hot pepper plants and some lettuce seeds that I put into the garden. a few of my castor bean plants are sprouting…life is coming back.

We had Co-Op dinner last night, big fat salad and cake. I made Chris and Cindy come out and see if those really are tomato plants sprouting up out of the middle of the yard…they thought so too! Crazy, eh? I may try to move them…or I may put a cage around it and let it grow!

Everybody got a big fat drink of the good fertilizer and spray-n-grow stuff too. Grow! Grow! Grow!!!

Kiki went to the doc yesterday. She got a steroid shot for her flea allergy. She’s scratched herself raw around the neck…bless her heart. I know I’ve been remiss with their flea/tick meds. It’s expensive. 50 some bucks a month for all of them! But. Well worth it. I’ll just work more…

It’s a short week, ya’ll. We have Saturday off at the salon for the Memorial Day Weekend. I’m super excited about that. I’m attending a wedding on Saturday night, but working one on Sunday afternoon. Hope to get some nice sunshine on my shoulders, attend the Paseo Arts Fest, and just be generally lazy. We’ll see how it shakes out!

I also—–have no idea what I was going to type here. Got distracted by a Sex and the City movie trailer on tv. I’ll be at the midnight movie tomorrow night watching it! Wheee!

Gert starts her job today. Pseudo Sis 1 has a second interview next week…everything’s coming up..tomato plants!

Huzzuah. Halakaleem. I love you. I love George Clooney!

Worked in the yard all afternoon yesterday. I feel like I raked up eleventy gillion leaves…the hail storm did some work on the trees. So, raked the firtch for what seemed like hours. Little by little I’m making the backyard come to life. I replanted some stuff in my garden, gifted by Bonusmom to make up for what I lost in the storm. Some basil, some cilantro, couple more peppers and tomatos. She gave me a big ole honker right from her garden, which I just put in the dirt. Found the sunniest spot and there she went! I also made a new shade garden of sorts. Moved all of my Hostas from the front that got beat up by the ice…and turns out I had two come up that survived the digging disaster! Once they get revived they’ll look spectacular!

OH and guess what? I think..I think I found a random tomato plant coming up…IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YARD. (i use the word yard loosely) I think it is. I’ll let it grow a bit more to be sure, just so I don’t transplant a weed. Prolly some random seed form a cookout last year! Anyways, thought that was pretty cool. Even amidst the nasty, comes some pretty cool surprises.

Also got some organization in the kitchen thanks to the roomie. He cleared out and re-organized the pantry and some of the cabinets! I love it!

Today I’m going to try to squeeze in a workout. Kiki to the vet this afternoon. Southside OKC to check out a grill. Tuttle to pick up co-op bounty…

Talked to my insurance yesterday. June 2nd is my date to get the house inspected. We’ll see what comes of it, eh? It’d be nice to get a little extra…then I could hire someone to put up the guttering. For real this time!

I’m tired. The wedding last night was a hooptie fest…loud booty scratch music and guests who sucked down the freebies then were annoyed when the bar required payment for drinks. Gah. Everybody wants something for nothing. Over it.

However, I had some good facetime with the parental units. Made a little moolah to start the savings all over again…I have tons of stuff to do today and need to do it because tomorrow is working out, Kiki to the vet then another haul out to Tuttle for the co op bounty. so tomorrow is already booked. Gah…trying to find energy. Trying to find energy.
Trying to find energy.

Did the BF Workout again last night. Feels good. More Jabber-Walking. There was lots to discuss as Gert got a JOB!!! I’m not going to spill too many of the details here, as it really is her story to tell, her time to shine. But I’m just soooo proud of her! Lot’s of new beginnings!

So we talked about that, talked about what that will mean for our working out schedule. We’re really up in the air at this point until she gets in there and get’s her schedule. I’m not worried about it a bit. Everything will fall into place. In that vein, I have lots of good feelings for PseudoSis1, who’s got some fabulous opportunities on the verge in her life…feels like it’s the time for things to fall into place.

I sent my escrow payment in the mail this morning! Huzzuah! Halakaleem! I’m happy for that…

along with that payment went my chance to attend BlogHer in NYC this summer with Kizz and Cindy. I had hoped, hoped, had a smidge of a hope that things would fall into place. Even though tickets were sold out, bla bla bla. Well, I got the email yesterday. The waiting list had opened up. I had 72 hours. Well shitthebed. Sorry, I just mailed my ticket to the escrow account. Ohhhhhhhh frack.

I was pretty sad, and still am, but I have a peace about this trip…and my lack of participation in it. I think Cindy is supposed to have this time along in NYC. First trip. Time with Chrome. Hope to hook her up with a meet and greet with Kizz. The two of them, and their cameras? Awesome.

I started shopping around for some new gym shoes. I need some. The ones I have now are hand me downs from my sis. I looked at two places yesterday and while there were good ones at decent prices I didn’t love the way they looked. Of course, gym shoes in a size 10 are rarely nice to look at. And I have this thing…I noticed it during the run of the show this past spring. It’s on my right food, right above my heel. and it’s a big…knot…of sorts. It hurts. I try to stretch it every day…that seems to help. Anyways, I know I need to get that looked at…oy.

Made a big batch of tabouli last night and bought some veggie and chicken kababs for the grill…turns out? that little grill is over it. Dunzo. I thought it was lack of juice, but I refilled the tank two weeks ago. When I was with Ex-Him, we got that grill from his kid’s then boyfriend, now husband. At his apartment complex, the dude next door moved out and left it. It’s little. And cheap. And was free. And has served me well these last 6 or so years. But damn. Another thing broken????

Embrace the Shitstorm!!!

Tonight is dinner with parental units. Mom and Burl are coming in to decorate the graves a week early so I will get to see them tonight, then bang their hair tomorrow, so that will be awesome. I have a bar shift tomorrow night that for once, will be saved not for the escrow account! Ha!!! (shoes? computer? c/card debt? grill? what else?)

This weekend it’s going to be sunny! 80’s! Beautiful! I’m going to re-plant my garden. Re-work some of my plants. Hope for the best back there that it will dry out…lord but it’s muddy back there. gah.

Ok kids. I’m refilling my coffee and gearing up for a day! Happy Friday ya’ll.

Yesterday marked the beginning of Operation Best Friend Workout. We met in the middle…about 15/20 minutes drive for us from either way and jumped in. The gym is one that many of our mutual friends go to, and it’s nice. Unassuming. No meat market vibe. Small enough but pleanty of equipment. PseudoSis2 got us week passes to try it but I think we’re both ready to join. We just did about 45 minutes of cardio, but ya know what? It was more than we did the day/week/month before so we felt good. Jabber-walking. Mouths flapping, getting caught up on life…we’re at a deficit and just gobbling up time with each other. It’s a good thing…we both want to live long long lives, full of experiences and travel to fun places. NOLA. Italy. Wine Country. And we don’t want to do it fat and unhealthy with bad skin.

DO OVER.

My garden sustained muy damago from Sunday’s hail storm. LAWD, but we are under seige by roofing companies in The Villiage…I have a STACK of cupons and flyers and door knob hanging thingys…sheesh. Anywoo, Bonusmom brought me some new babies. New peppers. New tomato and one GINORMOUS tomato that she dug out of her own garden to bring to me. Please, God, please let me help it to live and produce!

DO OVER.

Today’s weather? Stormy. Rainy. I’ve moved the plants to safety. But this afternoon, around 4pm things are allegedly going to get bad again. Storms. Hail. Tornados possible.

sigh.

DO OVER…hoping for an easy ride though.

I’m off to get ready. I have class this morning and trying to wait for my pants to dry…otherwise it’s a last minute costume change for me. Hope you Normals are enjoying a fabulous Hump Day. Almost over, for ya! It’s kind of moved fast, eh? yes.

Huzzuah and Halakaleem and I love George Clooney.

Misti, in the time that it takes you to read this short Note, you could have planted a new image in your mind (anything you like, ideally with an emotional charge); I could have reacted (realigning planets, people, and the sort), and the floodgates would’ve begun trembling violently as we’d have been drawn infinitely closer to manifesting the vision you’d chosen.

Fortunately, there’s still time.

Hot dog,
The Universe

Todays NFTU is pretty spot on, eh?

I’m focusing on the new week. I’ve put some love back into this house with deep cleaning, and rearranging my bedroom and hanging up clothes and filing all the papers in the office and lighting some beautiful candles over the weekend. (ps everyone needs to go the bath and bodyworks and buy the margarita and the blue sea breeze candle and burn them at the same time. holy mental vacay batman!)

I am fat.

I just am. All of the everything with money and work and the house…emotional eating. And we all know how it affects every single part of my psyche. But I am making plans…Gert and I are working on a way to just meet in the middle and start working out together. Yes its a little bit of a drive, but we need to do this. Long, healthy lives to enjoy each other and laugh…that’s the goal. Like any addict, admitting it is the first step. SO I tell you. I am fat. and feel worthless and disgusting. But I’m going to change that. and it will be ok.

I’ve done well with the $ thing…I’m ready to pay off my escrow account and bring it up to date. That’s a load off. Just in time to deal with the deductible for my house insurance…that hail storm? Well. The insurance adjuster is coming to look at the roof and see what kind of damage it did. It’ll be later in the week as there are so many others in much worse shape than I…but we’ll see.

I’m manifesting clients this week! Lots of hair to bang! And some fun and laughter! And hopefully I can make some people feel really good about their hair and about themselves this week. That’s the most important part.

Ok kids…I’ma get some coffee and have a little bit of quiet time before I start this day. I hope yours is beautiful. Hail free!
