5 meaningless sentances

I still don't think the fact that I am moving half way across the country in 5 days has fully sunk in. When asked if i am excited about the move I just shrug my shoulders and make this face that expresses excitement and sheer terror. I am totally game for this move...I just can't seem to get my mind around it. I can't get my mind around anything. Complete thoughts are totally escaping me. If you want to have a conversation that makes no sense and goes nowhere...well then I am your girl.

Merry Christmas

All you have to do is believe... DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, 'If you see it in THE SUN it's so'. Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? VIRGINIA O'HANLON 115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET. VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

11 days and counting...

So because I am lazy I have so much still to do before I leave on January second. This week is going to suck. I am taking my truck in to have the clutch looked at tomorrow morning. The throw-out bearing has been whining for months. So instead of getting it taken care of months ago I waited until the week of Christmas. I don't know what I am going to do with out a vehicle this week. (stupid on my part...but still sucks) I still have to pack up the little that I still have here but laziness is too crippling right now. (again stupid and sucky) I am supposed to meet Liza for drinks tomorrow. (that does not suck) I only have to work three days this and next week which is good...but it is also the end of month/year...so the short weeks makes what I have to get done by the end of the year impossible. (that sucks) Boyfriend is coming home on Christmas day. (WOOHOO) I have yet to buy even on Christmas present. (Major Suck) I am pretty much not in the mood for Christmas at all this year. I just want these holidays and the next 11 days to go by as quickly as possible. This move has been drawn out to long and I am just ready to get up to Seattle and get the ball rolling there.

sick

I have been sick for going on two weeks now. I am tired of it.

Patterns

Two of what I think are the coolest patterns found on animals. I would have also included a leopard...but that lazy cat was hiding inside.

So this monkey says to me...

Drove down to Colorado Springs on Friday night because Boyfriend was there doing things that I can't talk about (all legal). Pretty much had the day to myself yesterday so I decided to go to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Going to the Zoo by yourself is no fun and people look at you like you are creepy. I still managed to have a good time even though it was cold and windy as hell. I took a bunch of pictures that I will be posting over the next couple of days. Every time I would walk by this little guy I would say "Hey" and he would always reply "Who". These are my favorite shots from the day...he really knew how to work the light...

an IM conversation with my X while hopped up on cold medicine

Mike: how's the sinus infection? Melinda: I am thinking that I may have the flu instead, I am have symptoms not associated with a sinus infection Mike: lol you don't know what you have unless the TV tells you...hypochondriac! Melinda: lol…yeah Melinda: I have been really nauseaous Melinda: UI have no appetite... Mike: ooo, that'll be fun for Boyfriend Melinda: so I don't know if I am nauspous from not eating or if I am just nauseous Mike: gotcha Melinda: or maybe i a nauseous from my bad typing skills Mike: well that is why i am not feeling so hot Melinda: beacuse of my bad typing skills Mike: yeah Melinda: nice

On the Verge

Ever have one of those days where going on a smacking rampage sounds like the best idea in the world? Yep...today would be one of those days!

Purdy

I had Jenn come over to take some photos of Boyfriend and I before we head north. We had a fun time mostly because I am such a spaz...I tend to make a certain face that only I think is hilarious. She said next time she shoots me she is going to take me run 3 miles to calm me down first. Here are a few of my favorites... this would be the face... I am going to miss having Jenn as my on call photographer...well mostly I am just going to miss Jenn. She shoots just about anything or anyone. If you are in need of a photographer I highly recommend you give her a call. 303-949-8436 ~ mojoleblanc@yahoo.com

Westward Bound Part I

Boyfriend started the drive to Seattle at 6 am this morning. He starts his new job on Wednesday. It is weird to think that he no longer lives in Colorado. I know that I will be up there in 3 weeks and that I will see him this weekend and he will be back here for Christmas...but still I miss him.

...Two Turtledoves

These were given to me by my dear friend Abby. She was wanting to get us a small going away gift and said she thought of us when she found these silver mercury glass turtledoves. I love the antique look of them, they could not be more perfect.

a sneak peak

Here a sneak peak my horoscope for 2009. Not only am I going to be rich...I am going to be popular too! That really puts my mind at ease about moving to a city where I know no one and will be unemployed. Awe Yeah...2009 is going to be bitchen'... 2009 Scorpio Horoscope Two Sides of the Same Coin In 2009, be prepared for surprises, the likes of which you've never seen before. Each surprise will be like the proverbial two-sided coin. You'll be doing a lot of work in seclusion, but you'll do it so well that everyone will know about it. You'll make more money than you have in a long time, but you won't be able to think of anything you want to spend it on. You just might find your dream home, but you'll be either too busy or too tired to enjoy it. And in spite of the fact that you'll be playing the role of the solitary workaholic, you'll receive more social invitations than you ever dreamed of.
