Window Into My Reality

Town had a fire yesterday. We hadn't been out of church for very long, maybe an hour or so, and I was at my friend Paigey's house when the fire siren up town went off. Always hate the sound of that. Shortly, we heard the sirens of the fire trucks....turning up her street. So being normal citizens that we are, we rush outdoors to see what's going on...we see the fire trucks and all that sitting up at the intersection...by the time we had gotten across the street...we could see the smoke. It took them hours to get it put out. Everyone was ok, and they got most of the animals out...not sure about one dog :( There's not much left...the back side and straight up through the middle are gone.

'Tis Friday...all day long. I should be doing something else...cleaning or laundry or something, but as usual I am sitting here in the library. Trying to catch up on blogging as there is so little time throughout the week. I did post another poem this morning, an older one though I will admit that I did some rewriting. I was out late last night at Paigey's house, didn't leave until almost midnight---so hopingher husband wasn't upset with me staying so late. But it felt so good to just sit and talk with her. There was something about last night's chat that just felt ... almost like old times...but better. I smacked myself in the head yesterday, getting into my own car no less. My thoughts were....uhm..... elsewhere ....and so I didn't get my head far enough down and smack . Sigh. It's amazing they let me on the dance team at church given how clumsy I am. So I sat there stunned for a good minute before shaking it off and going about my day...it wasn...

As you all know from yesterday's post and comments, my brother slammed me on a few of my survey answers. I've left his questions/comments in black and my answers in blue. Letter: Q Now, I wonder why you would like the letter Q. I wonder what Jean-Luc REALLY thinks about that? Uhm---it's the only Star Trek related letter. :P Any comment Jean-Luc?? Body Part on Opposite sex: smile Age you wanna lose your Virginity: How old am I now? LOL Can these two answers really correspond? It sounds to me like you might be lying in one of these. What???? Sex doesn't start with a smile? Besides....you should see his smile. Strawberry or Watermelon: watermelon What! Watermelon! You...You... TRAITOR! :P Kiss or Hug: both Now, this answer seems to correspond well with both your answers in the above mentioned two questions. And your point is? Rap or Punk: rap You really like rap? Uhm...I think TobyMac counts as rap and I like a few of his songs. I also like hiphop. Wanna see me dance with ...

Not much going on today. I got my "real" bus monitor today at the start of the noon run. SO far we're doing ok...she only had them singing once and it was a quiet song {Itsy Bitsy Spider} so that was extra ok. Had an ok night at church last night. Rededicated myself to the Lord. I've been slipping something terrible lately. Humans are prone to wander, as I know from past experience. And besides, Chip Ingram was talking about just that thing today. I have to go see if I can't post that survey thing I saw at Daydreamer's just the other day.

I would pay a pretty penny if my friends could see the world from my perspective. I mean, I know it's different than how they see it...as I've had one person tell me that she just doesn't understand why I've been hurt. First of all, does she really have to understand to emphathize with my pain? I mean, I really have no point of reference regarding her pain over her wild son who's been giving her some serious grief....but...I can be sad right along with her over it. Shouldn't it be enough that something happened and it hurt me...even if I don't fully understand it myself? It hurts...it caused a pain to shoot through my heart and made me cry [This happened all in Septmeber so none of ya start worrying ok?]. Shouldn't that be enough? I have about 5 minutes before I get shut down, so I can't go on. It's just something that is frustrating me right now. And I wanted to vent.

OK. the outfit on the Avatar Girl should say it all. A bit of a contrast, isn't it?
