And Time Gooooes By.........

Here I am, awake again in the middle of the night. Plagued as always by insomnia. Unlike some I'm not one to lay in bed all night tossing and turning, if I'm not going to sleep, I might as well use the time to do something constructive. Such as, watching a parade of never-ending, pointless movies, that have no substance, plot, or pretty much anything of value in them. My husband complains because I stay up all night, as if I dont 'want' to sleep. Although I suppose six degrees of Kevin Bacon wouldnt be much of a stretch for me these days. I have to say though, being an incurable insomniac has given me a great appreciation for the night time and its beauty. Everything is blurred at night, the stars and the moon much more forgiving than the sun. All the ugly cement is softened, and it doesnt seem........quite so bad. I especially love summer nights, cool breeze, driving to nowhere, or to anywhere, just me and my radio, cruisin.

Moral Dilemna

I have a friend, who has a dog. (Watch out Stephen King that opening lines knocks 'em dead!). Anyhoo, my friend has four kids, who love the dog. Problem is, they're all mean to it. That includes said friend. They kick it, throw it, forget to feed it, leave it out for God only knows how long without water etc. etc. I have a key to said friends house and have debated going in, taking said dog and all acoutrements. The question is, How wrong would that be? I've complained to them, that they dont treat puppy right and have been ignored. Would it be morally wrong to confiscate puppy, and take her somewhere(here), where she would be properly treated? (sigh) I just dont know, but I cant stand the way they treat her. Perhaps, God will give me a vision...........

Catching Up

Well, its been awhile. To long probably, but here I am once again. For all of you geeks out there, the episode of CSI that Will Wheaton was in rocked. That was probably the best potrayl of a homeless, crazed addict I've ever seen, ( except in real life of course). Life goes ever onward, just last week, I had something incredibly important to say, but no time to write. It just goes to show how quickly things slip thru our fingers. Obviously if it was that important I wouldnt have forgotten, amazing how much things change in as little as a week. I would like to give a shout out to my good friend Dan, who is stationed in Fallujah. May God keep you safe and bring you home to your family and friends soon!!!!!!!

Live Like You WANT To Live!!

Wellness Tips we can learn from a Dog~Author unknown. "Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.Let the experience of fresh air in your face be pure ecstasy. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Let others know when they've invaded your territory. When it's in your best interests, practice obedience. Take naps and stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Be loyal.Never pretend to be something you're not. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. If you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing, run right back and make friends. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk."
