8:52 am
Or the lack of coffee thinking- which I don't know may make my mind clearer or more confused as I am continuously thinking about some type of caffeinated drink of the coffee variety. (I even googled if khalua is considered coffee &is decaf considered coffee cause truly decaf is NOT coffee in my book)
Anywho as I am sticking to my commitment of non- java for the season my thoughts travel to why is it so hard to find a pair of sneakers! I have been on this search for quite some time now & my favorite pair of puma (grey w/ lime stitch) was on sale in lady foot locker ($29.99) but there was nothing in my size in 4 flipping stores- then I tried regular foot locker and online an modells and even the puma site and no sherbet in my size! I even tried on a size 10 just to see (horrendous).
What is a chick to do? Go sneaker-less in this world?
I dunno but it should not be this hard.

Thought given to me by my train: Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside, awakes. Carl Jung.
Am I still sleeping or am I awake?

Thus evening on the bus

Thus evening on the bus I heard a new term for chicken nuggets.
Apparently they are referred to as "chicken nuts".
Thanks (to the little 3 yr old girl) for that image.

Gods purpose for crazy people.

these are some notes from a service that I listened to recently... entitled

Gods purpose for crazy people.
It is much harder to be a Christian than it is to be just human?
What is a Christian?
Who is a Christian?
Devotion to any system can be faked. One can always appear to believer but to actually believe is harder than "faking belief(s)".
You can practice a religion but it may never truly affect your life, never make difference if you don't live your religion
Character is harder to get than new clothes. (Word...and there are A lot of folks walking around here naked in character...)
A mean spirit is uglier than any tattoo you may get. (Ditto for being hard to remove as well)
Some people don't want to be good, they just want to look good i.e just want to deal with the outside and not with what is on the inside.
We resist Jesus calls- and he wants us to have a deeper relationship with him.  Our relationship with him challenges how we treat each other.
Love somebody.
Try it... cause everybody wants you to believe we know how to love someone. But how many people love themselves? Do you want that on you???
Dealing with the perception of who we think we are- he knows the truth.
Love your neighbor and hate your enemy- so they thought it was. We should love the enemy too- we are aspiring to do that. We need go do BETTER- we need to learn how to live with them crazy people. That blew my mind.
 Listen to this:
Crazy people will make your life hard- they will make you miserable. You may know some crazy people...Jesus knows that if he puts them in your life they will make you pray and test ya... I gave you crazy people to get on your nerves AND to give you patience... (really?)
Agape in Greek= love??? Define that for yourself...
We should take joy & pleasure in crazy people- he needs us to be joyful to them/ find joy in them/ show love to them/ love them. Show principled love in them he wants us to be perfect.
Maturity as an adult is something that is (perceived as) perfect - dealing with people will make you trust and talk to Jesus...
AMEN
********************************
in reading this over I truly need to be thankful for all of the oddities in my life and the folks that come along with that..
forever grateful...

coffee thought...

day #5 without coffee....

i am contemplating throwing out my dress that i sewed these buttons on.
reason No. 1- tis the season for change- we sprang forward last night and tho we lost an hour of much needed sleep we will be moving towards longer days and (hopefully) springy/ summery weather.
reason No. 2- i am trying to define my personal style and i am not sure this dress screams something I love, something i am willing to keep in my closet/sacrifice much needed closet space for.
reason No. 3- (truthfully) it don't fit. maybe i could blame it on washing/shrinkage (of dress, clearly not me tho my scale says slightly otherwise)
so out with the old and in with something new...

and yes, another reason to go shopping.

that's all...

coffee thought...

well actually tea thoughts as i have given up coffee for lent this year. this is definitely an experiment of the mind, body & soul...or just another insanity test that i like to put myself thru. eh, we will see. we will also see what affect/ effect this has on my interactions with the world around me seeing as how i generally rely on the soothing effects of caffeine to start, continue & end my days.

such is life.

speaking of life, thoughts & prayers to those affected by the earthquake in Japan & the subsequent tsunami's out there- it is amazing and a bit scary what this world is capable of.

that's all...

coffee thought...horoscope 3/9/11

Gemini Horoscope for March 09, 2011

If you haven't managed to schedule some away time for yourself, make sure you do it soon. Call that spa, pick out the book you'll read, decide on a destination. Even if you can't actually take any time away for a few more months, committing to doing something solely for yourself will give you a temporary lift that will carry you throughout the day. This period of introspection is something you need to take advantage of, so listen to your emotions.

..so this is something that I definitely am taking advantage of...#1- booked a mini spa thingy on 3/22 - getting a much needed massage (my shoulders are spasm-ing like you have no idea- yeah i am stressed) #2- am going to cancun!!!! whoo hooo yeah i am gonna get my beach (la playa) on and some mucho fun!

adios!

Doctors visit 3/8/11 10:30am

130/80 BP- 80 is my normal bottom. I am not sure if that is good or bad considering i am on mess for that.

Weight__{less than an average baby elephant @ birth which is 232} wait. I need to loose more. yeah.

Wanna get a HIV test? It takes 20 minutes for the results. Ummm errrrr- was my response to the kind Hispanic nurse. Sure. She was like oh it's always good to know.
Then why oh why am I nervous to get an HIV test? I mean we all good, right? I mean seeing as how I have never done anything and nothing with no one you would think I am all free and clear, right (unless I was born this way ala gaga) Seeing as how i know i have test anxiety this is not a good look. You would also think that having this knowledge would make how I operate in life better- like more knowledgeable. But you know me- you know I worry about meteors gracefully falling from the sky and crashing into the earth effectively killing us all (Armageddon much?) you know i worry about failing at things I have no interest in attempting (Just in case i get the urge to try said things i wouldn't want to be a failure at them, ya know?) You know I worry especially about the things I want to turn out right (such as love, happiness, commitment, success etc).

So I worry.

Update #1: 3 needle sticks in a attempt to find a vein and there is no blood. What the hell? Am I bloodless? If you cut me apparently I will not bleed for they cannot find any veins that run thru me. It is utterly hilarious as I have not had anything to eat (this is supposed to be a fasting glucose) and am feeling like I am gonna faint. It is now noon and I have been up and about and active since 8. with no food from the prior 6 pm eating hour. This is so not good.

Update #2: I am HIV negative. So I know where I stand and how to continue that way. sheesh, I guess I passed. good thing, right.

Update #3: After 2 more needles, it is now time to proclaim "I am no pin-cushion". At this time I am like DONE. Nice Hispanic nurse politely puts 5 random ban-aids on me. 2 bugs bunny, a daffy duck, one flesh-tone (not my flesh-tone) and one of an inderminable character which is rather frightening.

Update #4: They send me to this place where they were supposed to be better at this, apparently not so much as I sit here for 2 hours effectively making me late for work even tho I took a 1/2 vacation day and still no blood. The utterly rude and damn near incompetent nurse practitioner there was upset that I was going to faint because of no food (at 2pm now) and after an announcement of "Me no think we seeing more of youth today right now" [translation-->they are not taking any more people] I was like give me my paperwork so I can leave. She was mad because "me deh pon already stick the sin-ting pon de sheet there, so me cannn give it back" [translation--> she already put her stickers on my sheet here, so she can't give it back] I told her I don't care where she put her stickers, since they did not see me I need to leave out of here {in my head i was thinking she lucky she old & i am weak at this moment cause I would have removed the stickers for her}. I waited while she carelessly ripped the stickers off the form and gave it back to me. So I went to grab food (COSI TBM cause i was starving - not the 1/2 but the whole) and went back to work. cause work is never done!!!

and guess who has to fast AGAIN to have to do this AGAIN so they can figure out what is wrong with me ?

So if

Ifthe world is your oyster and you are allergic- now what?

coffee thought...

today's coffee thought surrounds drinking coffee while watching sesame street. Sometimes I partake in this particular brand of hilarity (sesame street that is) since it is definitely a throwback from my days o youth. Nevermind this is educational tv and something that teaches children's of all ages-- and the puppets/ Muppet's are of no real particular race (i mean Elmo the most popular Muppet of almost all time is voiced by a black male- how cool is that?) is red (is red a race on sesame street?

any who on Elmo's world he is telling us all the importance of sleep and how to get a good nights sleep and how you become more productive, awake and alive after a great nights sleep. I love how this is telling young kids this lesson early on (cause once HS/ college & work-social life happens) sleep is a rare commodity that I know I am in constant search of...

any who.

this lesson goes well with coffee on this dreary sunday morning.

i wish i had this life...
