2 be Bliss, as I dance along the road to Nirvana...

does anyone remember fritini? it was a dried veggie mix that was out in the 70s or early 80s. we used to add water, form patties and fry them as burgers. we usually ate them with eggs and toast. i still remember the scrumptious taste and i've been trying to find the mix for years with no luck. if anyone knows where i can find fritini, please, lemme know. i need it! :-) thanks y'all. . .

hey y'all. i just got an e-mail from the Client. my part of the Main Project is done. with the exception of a few minor changes (for the graphic design firm), the Client's Client is happy with it all. hallelujah! now i can get back to sleeping, my own writing projects, making jewelry, making baskets, eating! :-) thanks to everyone who sent good wishes, positive energy and prayers my way. i know it all worked cuz my stress level was way lower for the second half of the Main Project, which was the shortest but most intense part of it.

can y'all tell from the title that our church is having a holiday craft bazaar? they're calling for vendors and i'm thinking 'bout selling some stuff. i have a things i made that are just sitting round here wondering why. i already have: 3 (crocheted) dog leashes (that were incomplete; i finished 2 last night) 1 ring 1 bracelet 1 crocheted scarf 3 baskets several pair of earrings (but some need a little work) i plan to make more rings cuz they're the fastest to make. the only thing is coming up with design ideas... i might make a few baskets but i'm not really committed to the idea. i did find some really groovy yarn at the dollar store tho. it would make pretty barrette or pencil holders for the kids. did i mention that the kids will be making ornaments to sell so they can raise money for the youth fund? i'm not sure if all vendors are sposed to donate any of their proceeds to the church or the kids but i plan to. the bazaar is Dec...

hey y'all. did anyone see today's Dr. Phil show? the reason i'm asking is cuz the one we saw did something weird towards the end. the last segment was shown twice on our t.v. i'm not sure if that was a t.v. station glitch, a Dr. Phil Show glitch, or a halloween glitch (as baby bliss claimed). i'm wondering if the show will be exactly the same when it comes on at 8 tonight.

hey y'all! what's been shaking round here?? i feel like i've been gone for a loooooooooooong time. i'm sure y'all have some new and exciting news right? i do. :-) mr. bliss took me to a movie saturday night then treated me to a manicure and pedicure. :-) i got the white-tipped pedicure and it sure is pretty.

hey y'all.  top of the morning and all that good stuff!  i sure did mean to sleep until 10 this morning. but my subconscious mind played a trick on me. or maybe it was something bigger, a Universal conspiracy of sorts cuz i needed to be up early for some (as yet) unknown reason.  any way, i forgot to turn off my daily alarm on my cell phone. and even tho the phone was on vibrate, it woke me up any way.  :-(  but i ain't mad at you God.  i cleaned (most of) the bathroom, addressed a mess of envelopes that need to go out, remembered that baby bliss wants to go to Victoria's Secret to get the new Spice Girls CD, and remembered to make a Very Important reservation for tomorrow morning.  i also had time to think about some home schooling stuff. i don't know if i mentioned this before, but baby bliss loves movies and music. with the same passion i have for reading and writing. so i've come up with a way to bond her favorites with the subjects she likes less...

did y'all hear that? it's my big sigh of relief. the worst is over with the Main Project. we have a 4-day lull before Stage 3 kicks in. today was fairly quiet but i was on edge most of the day, wondering if i'd forgotten to foist off any piece or part of the Main Project to the next person in line. then later, there was Something but it was Something i had no previous knowledge of and so i didn't have to worry about it. (thank you Father-Mother God/Goddess/Universe.) but i did worry. i e-mailed and called, to see if there was something i could do to help. there was nothing. (thank you Divine Energy that lives within us all.) so the ball rolled back to someone else's court and i went back to being jittery bliss. it felt weird not to be getting several e-mails an hour, making back-to-back phone calls, writing drafts between tossing loads of laundry in to wash or dry, helping baby bliss with math while uploading photos to the FTP server... i don'...

hey y'all. just peeking in to see what's shaking and stirring... i'm 'sposed to be in the shower cuz we gotta take these chaps (my nieces and nephew) back to their momma. how was everyone's weekend? mine was stoooopid busy. working for Client A of course. but it's been good. no complaints except that i didn't have a lot of time to show my kin the sights of our big city. (they live in a reallllllly small town.) it looks like the Main Project is drawing to a heart-pounding close. i'm thankful. we're gonna miss church (2nd sunday in a row) but i know God understands. :o) what are y'all doing today? soon's i'm outta the shower, we're hitting the road. ciao for now.

hey y'all. wow, feels like i've been gone a looooooooooooooong time. time was out of joint for me before but now it's like totally doing it's own thing. it feels good but i know i live in the "real" world and most of the time i have to operate on other people's clocks. but the day is coming where i'll be back to doing my own thing again and it's coming soon. LOL but that's not what i came to talk about. i came to talk about the Weekend. the Dance, y'all. the Dance... it was like nothing i've ever experienced. baby bliss and i took a 2-hour drive north and arrived in another dimension. i can't describe the whole thing cuz i think most of it is so sacred that y'all really have to experience it for yourselves to get it. but the Dance (and i mean the whole event, not just the physical movement) was more than i imagined. the Dance is a tool used to promote peace and healing within the individual and the wider community as well. danc...

hey y'all. whatcha watching at your house? we're looking at "Private Practice" right now. it started out cool. let's see what it gives. "Pushing Daisies" was hilarious. if i can remember to tune in, i'll be watching every wednesday night at 8. okay y'all. i gotta get some work done. TTFN. or is that SLFN?

my grandma has a cell phone y'all. she got it as a birthday present last year. #2 Auntie kinda forced it on her. it's the pre-paid kind and it kinda works for her. except that she keeps forgetting to Top Up when she runs out. so we've had to get her number changed once already cuz they cut her service off when she didn't put any $$ on the phone. she called us about 20 minutes ago to ask me how to turn the ringer volume up on her handset. uh oh. grandma is not at all technically savvy. she only lives around the corner so i asked her if she wanted us to come over cuz that would be faster than trying to tell her on the phone. she said no need for us to be galivanting at night. okay grandma. then she kept me on the phone for 10 minutes, trying to figure out which teeny tiny button was the right one. *sigh* finally baby bliss said she could help so i let her talk to grandma. lawd have mercy. that chile is a tech wiz. she told grandma all the right stuff (at least it sounded...

hey y'all. i'm about to go to bed. i've been getting in some early zee's for a week or two. and i've been getting up early too. it's the work. and the Client. and the whole experience. i believe God is showing me that i can have this but only if it's what i really want. for now i'm in. but once the Main Project ends, i'm taking a fast french fry-grease guzzling bus back to my quiet and peaceful life. i know some people thrive on deadlines and that "get-er-done-now" adrenaline. i am not one of them. years ago... long before baby bliss was born... i was the expert on multi-tasking, priority-juggling, and getting it done before you even realized you needed it. those were the days when i wanted so badly to get the choreography in aerobics class so i could keep in step with the rest of the ladies. today i need sun salutations and downward dog poses coupled with the abdominal work of pilates. that means i ain't afraid of hard work but it has ...

hey y'all. baby bliss and i are escaping to the wilds this weekend. church was phenomenal Sunday. we met Jeanne White Eagle and we've been inspired to attend a dance. if the event is half as cool as she is, we're in for a phenomenal experience. go here Jeanne White Eagle to check out what i'm talking about. the only thing that gives me pause: most people are Camping Out. now y'all know how i feel about camping. if ya don't, read it and pray for me. actually i think we're gonna sleep in the car. perfectly do-able. that's how much i want to share in this experience. i'm thankful the information and opportunity were put on my path. amen.

"don't putcha hand on that glass. that grease might be hot chile." i'll give y'all the details later. i've been editing all day and i'm about to escape from here! :-)
