Top Headlines: Sighs: Another Sunny Day and I can’t play
Between a few days I’ve been depressed (hormonal), a stomach virus, my sprained ankle, and my editing: I haven’t gotten many days to enjoy the sun.
The past few days I have enjoyed the small walks to the store. I was excited to see Family Dollar have Pepsi products on sale 88 cents a piece. I have noticed that the weather has been between 60-70’s and barely any clouds in the sky. I just wish I could enjoy that weather a bit more.
Health News
Last Friday (May 11th) I sprained my ankle. I rested all of Saturday and most of Sunday as it was a pain. Sunday, Tom had a horrible stomach virus, but not as bad has his mother. On Monday we got a call from his aunt and Tom hung out with his mother for a few days while she was in and out of the hospital with stomach issues.
Monday and Tuesday night I was fighting stomach issues and I was dealing with a very sore foot. I thought it was better on Monday morning and I over-did it.
I’m finally doing better with my foot. My stomach is acting weird: I keep getting queasy after eating. Tea is the only thing that can settle my stomach.
I tried taking some B12 as I heard it helps digestion, but it gave me nose bleeds. I stopped as I have clotting problems and I don’t need to cause anymore problems with my blood.
Writing and Arts
I currently have four chapters (about 30-40 pages) left of editing “The Whispering Path.” I have to buy a proof for Tom, but this time I want to make sure he gets the credit for taking the picture of my neighbor’s yard. I also want to give my neighbor credit for using her yard. Then I have to get another proof my way of all of the changes I made. Then I get my five free copies: one I give my mom and another one to my neighbor. I am still debating on telling my father’s family about it. (It’s paranormal and they are religious.) Then I will have three copies left.
I want really want to get published by a mainstream publisher, but I need to find a good agent/editor and find away to pay them or do all of the work myself. Next month I think I will post on Amazon.com. . . I need to look into what kind of rights they have and how you get paid. (I basically want to know if I can take my book off amazon, if I get a mainstream publisher.)
I am planning on participating in Camp NaNo (www.campnano.org) in June. (They have two one in June and one in August, but I can’t do August since I have so many other things going on in that month like Tom’s birthday.)
I am what they call rebelling which means I doing something I already started instead of starting a new project. I am using Camp NaNo to finish getting my first vampire novel (1 of 7, possibly 8). I am also working several other short stories that I really want to finish.
Darken Cake (A parable for an ex that I meant to finish in 2007
CSC Book 1 Melzela (My first vampire book)
There are a many short stories I want to finish I will post the list later.
I am not as devoted to Camp NaNo as I am with NaNoWriMo, because it’s summer and if I have friends that want to go out or I get a chance to enjoy the summer, I am taking it. I do hope that I get to 50k. It would be nice, but this is just to motivate me to get my vampire story on the computer.
Local Fun
I have been playing Sims 3 on Xbox 360 and editing my book. I also addicted to my group and a few games in facebook (Words with Friends and Sims Social). I also like an anime game called MyCandylove.com: It’s great except you only get 10-15 action points each day and each action uses two points.
The current shows that I enjoy watching: Big Bang Theory, The Next Food Network Star, Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park, Hercules and Seaquest (on Netflix).
I finally got to watch the anime series called Rosario and the Vampire. I have only wanted to watch it for about two years. It was cute, but I am not sure why it just stopped. I guess the second season it kind of pushed a few of the episodes.
Dear Me
Dear Me
I’m sorry, stupid people are everywhere. You can either do your own thing or become them.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Enjoy every moment you can.
Just a few quick notes; now get back to editing; you have a dealine.

Myself and I

This month’s theme is stupid people.
Can people really be this stupid?
1. Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that I could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.
2. I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.
3. A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."
4. I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."
5. Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.
6. I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
7. My neighbour works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
8. Police in Radnor, PA, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
9. A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency.

Soap Operas
I get to see my mom next week, because Tom wants to fast (food) for about fours days for spiritual purposes. We just got off a bad virus and it really worries me. I just hope he gets spiritual stronger and still stays strong and healthy. (Now I have a few things I need to do tonight: pick up and sweep the living room, clean the kitchen and bathroom and get stuff ready for mom’s. I made him emergency kits with an energy bar, fiber bar and a powerade.)
After dealing with his family, I understand why he needs some solo time and a spiritual cleansing. They con him to go to the hospital with his mother while they stayed. . . I don’t get that if they stayed then why did they need Tom? I have given up on trying to analyze his family.
As for my family my mother’s side has been very predictable. I haven’t seen my father or brothers, because Tom and I were sick.
As for friends, it seems they only want to visit when we are busy and I have noticed when I say we are sick, they will not be around for weeks. So all of the drama I have current has just been in my novels. (I really kind of like it that way.)
Actually I had a bit of drama, our neighbor knocked on our door the other day and she asked for some pepper and butter. I grew up being taught to help others in need, especially if you have extra, so I gave her some ground pepper and butter. She talked to me for about 20 minutes: telling all kinds of things: one that she was “God-fearing” and two she was diabetic. (However Tom has tainted my good deeds with the saying “No good deed goes unpunished.) It was Thursday night she goes banging on our door drunk. She claimed I broke her door: first of all she couldn’t find her key around her neck, secondly she couldn’t see straight enough to get the key in the lock, and thirdly she shouldn’t be drinking if she diabetic as alcohol acts like sugar in the body. I hope to God, she doesn’t come knocking on our door ever. I am not helping someone who causing their own problems.
Spiritual Edge
This is the time for spring cleaning: our home, hearts, body and minds. (With Tom’s spiritual ritual next week and my spiritual cleansing next month for the summer solstice.)
I thought I would give a few cleansing so we can all feel refresh. I believe that it doesn’t matter what religion you are every religion has some kind of way of getting rid of bad things and starting new.
There is a simple ritual I have read about in several places: when you clean you put on positive music and think positive thoughts. I have heard that you wash your windows and doors and simply state: “all drama stay outside of my house and my life.” It works for a while; you usually have to repeat throughout the year to keep it up.
I have heard that Chakra mediations. I have an old blog with chakra mediation: http://rebekah1213.livejournal.com/156602.html
I write down everything: wants, worries, hopes, dreams, things I am grateful for, venting etc and then I destroy it all.
