Pirates, pilates and ranting, oh my!!

I am just going to pull up a rocking chair and plant myself by the plant. I think I'll knit a sock while I am sitting here. Coffee dude, jasmine green tea, please? I start my new job today at 4:30 pm. I was nervous but it seems pointless to be worried about working in a place where I willingly spend my free time. And I get a large discount on everything in the store. Hubby had better lock his office! I'll be looking for more space to stash my yarn collection!

there are pirate-songs at the 'musician showcase'-thread in the 'music, art and writing' forum ...

Getting out of the house has put me in a goofy mood! Here is pirate video!

I had the best time at work! My family is in trouble now! They may have to do housework!

I'm cruising down the mall, feeling blue. Thought I'd drop in for a coffee and virtual chocolate- lots of virtual chocolate. I'm glad Pluto and Mescalero are adding a bit of cheer. I've only read back a few pages so I'll sip some coffee and read on...off...back

I have read somewhere about your family history, Blessedmom. I bet it was great fitting the jigsaw together. Your Dad sounds nice.


Sighhh! It can't be the weather because we have opposite seasons.

My dad is a nice man, but very outspoken man. He is an Aspie! He would give the shirt off his back but can explode over the strangest things. I love him dearly. We tend to clash because we are so much alike. I try not to analyze the relationship too much. I take it for what it is.

I'm sorry that you are having a blue day! I honestly don't know what is up with the universe lately. I wrote a post about the effect that all the fighting and negativity on here has been having. But I haven't posted it. It will surely make a few members angry and there is enough of that already. I think it has made us all dismal. I don't know that I like getting so attached to people who can just leave at any minute or who I worry about when I will never see them in person. There are 3 that I am very attached to and now that they are in hiding I feel rather sad myself. Maybe that is what it is. Maybe people are getting too attached to one another.

I am over-analysing again. I am good at that! Well, I think chocolate is a grand idea!! I will have some, too.

I know, Blessed Mom ( you listed your real name once, and I think it was Leslie but I could be SOOO wrong) times have changed. I think it is the seasons, too. It is full on summer here in The States, and maybe that is what happened to Chuck and Postie. I see ZanneMarie around and nannarob. Lau has his own gig as the FAQ guy and it looks like there are so many more fish to fry with spammers and such.

You are correct, though. We get so attached and then *poof* their gone.

I'm here. Drinking my coffee and spinning my spinner in the corner. Dh is playing with my hair. I'm almost done with one Aspie girl's story (the Sociopath is killed in two more chapters) and I am closing out the other in about another month. I'm absorbed. I think, Blessed, that we are not external people, at least I know that I am not. My real life friends are used to me disappearing for months on end. I just go off into my head and don't come back for awhile. Trying to get my energy from external sources, meaning people as well, is always an exercise in futility for me no matter how much I enjoy them. I always end up irritable and unhappy until I simply explode. Then I go to my cave and recover. I think that's a normal Aspie thing to be honest. We probably just getting on each other's nerves by the simple act of having to deal with each other - good or bad.

I see you went to your new job and enjoyed it? That's great! I hope that continues. It's much better when you actually like what you do.

Just stopping in to see how you all are! I'm off to my job right away (I love saying that!!). I hope you all have a day that is filled with things that make you happy!

Zanne, I get the whole cave idea. Hubby is so thrown about my working that he is in his cave. I expect he will be there for at least a week. That isn't a bad thing!

ZanneMarie, I am getting inspired by you talking about your writing. The doctor I have met for over 7 months now has finally sprung it on me that she has not one but two publishers that are interested in assigning an editor to my scribblings. She (the Doctor) has made it a point to tell me that the editor is both female and a diagnosed Aspie, too boot !
I have this way of connecting to THINGS and reading all the vibes in them. I am not like some faith healer, I mean, if I am not connected to the THINGS then I haven't a clue who or what, but I have a beige two drawer filing cabinet that is BURSTING with my 'souviners' just so I can hold them and disgorge all the information, situation etc of each object.

It's not too bad for background and color but has so little to do with the plot. It's like I have a bunch of pictures and have to place them chronologically in order to string the reader along. But it's not fiction, like your Aspie Gurrrl, it's more like, oh. . . anticdotes - like "All Creatures Great and Small" only probably not as dryly witty.

what do you think? can you have a book with no plot, just a good narrative?

musing over WAY too much coffee this morning.

Since Memorial Day is this weekend, I thought it fitting to show where the flag was. Only got two waves from people as they drove by the front yard, where this was taken. Times sure have changed, yes they have. I thought a few people might have came close to a little strange driving as they went by. I found it very relaxing and a good time, until the yelling and screaming started getting through the wonderful valium feeling I had. Marshmellows anyone?

Are you sitting on the flag, darlin'?
Or, did you use it for kindlin'?




Merle

Huummm, no dear, it was on the pole where the fire is.

oh, this is like one of those brain teasers that frustrate the hell out of me! I am lookin, and I am not seeing. Actually it is kind of interesting, because I can be so 'blind' about things, I am going to try a new technique to trying to see what others see and that I cannot.

It's like those Magic Eye photos, isn't it?!?

where the flag is. . or even the pole.

Postie, if you tell me where the freaking flag is, I will send you the URL for the Latin Sayings web page. . ..
