King Edward

Eddie I am. 

I am Eddie. 
I am King of this house.
King I am.



I do not answer
 to beck and call.
 Answer them?
 I will not at all!

I do not sleep where you say I will.
I Find my bed as I should.
Where I want, and where I say.
Be it box or hamper I lay.

I do not play when you say I must.

I find my play where I trust.
 Be it sheets or laundry fill

 I choose the toy as I will!

 

I give you love when it is best.

be it your lap or the computer desk.

I do it because I want it now

I'll even be so kind as to show you how.

 For I am King and I chose you!     So respect, and do see that you do!

For I am the King,

King Edward the Cat!

- you will just have to deal with that.

I am too adorable to ignore, after all. :P

a spin in the right direction

life has a funny funny way

of getting in the way 

of all the dreams 

you spin around 

in your head

the dreams that keep you

from being dead 

in your spirit 

in your soul

they are not the truth be told 

but they take hold 

and spin you round-

life has a funny funny way

 of getting in the way

 of the dreams spinnin round

 in your head

till you stop the bed

 and take a step off motion

step in the direction

 of the off normal

 off beat 

and routine

and start to dream

a bit of reality

a fragment of a clarity

that spins the tale round

the other way

and you can smile and say

this is mine
what a day
take a hold and spin it
round.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi! Happy Valentine's Day! Hope it was great for everyone- Spent the morning making my very first batch ever of homemade Yogurt! Got that all ready, and set into my yogurt maker, then I started on a batch of homemade cookies to give out- enjoyed the morning!

Then I got a wonderful surprise! My hubby came home early and told me to get his coat from the back seat (please) as he grabbed his stuff from work, and wow there was the most beautiful plant filling the whole back seat and a giant box of chocolates! surprise! he knows me too well- no flowers baby- but more for the garden! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the cats really wondered what the heck it was! LOL Beautiful fern.

 We spent the afternoon enjoying the beautiful day! Gorgeous weather! played handball with my son, and darts with Dad, and later enjoyed just Dad! (Ha!  ;P LOL) and all around fantastic day! Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

call me crazy

Ever sit and look through a wish book?  circling, earmarking, highlighting-  or labeling "FAVORITE!" ooooooooooogling, ahhhhhhhhhhing, flat out drooling! and imagining what holding this, or wearing that, or using this-would be like? Most women do it with clothes, know several who oooogle shoes. I have found myself doing it at jewelry a lot too! (ooooooh silver fairy at silver enchantments is awesome....ooohhhhh....)
I've done it all my life- especially when I was a kid and catalogs were the big thing..." Hey girlfriend! Look at this dress! Wow!" or later- "Hey, honey- check this out, baby! Sassy!" .....

but now the catalogs are on the internet, super easy to go through and drool and wishlist away!  and none get me more excited and "wishlisting" than going through Superior tattoo's site.... ahhhhh man! It is so true- once you start ink, you always ink....  it gets under your skin... literally! Bwahahahaha!
This process of learning how to Tattoo has been, and still is, a slow one- I have years to go before I reach status of decent - as far as pro's are concerned. But man, oh man, do I love it! Nothing like seeing my work later after the swelling is gone down, it's healed up, and it looks absolutely delicious! Oh... I mean gorgeous!
See - I'm different than most- my canvases so far beyond the practice pig skins and the initial starter oranges  :D - LOL - has been myself and my hubby. A very unique relationship- 'cause not only do I get to learn to do it.. I get to enjoy viewing my work anytime I want- and I do usually want.;P Ha! It has been so awesome! Don't know anyone else personally that can say it. Taking years to do- but we have fun! We got nothing but time! Yeeeaaaaahhhhh buddy! There is something so sexy about seeing one bad ass tattoo on the muscles of my man! Half pride, half lust and a whole lotta fun in the end!
But today is fun cause I got to purchase my "wishlist" at the tatt supplier and my new ink gun is on the way! Plus reloads of my basic needs like green soap tincture and more ink... bam! Booooyah Baby! It's on!  It's  A nice nice nice one I have been sooooo waiting for! Yay! Look out valentine's Day! New Raven tattoo is in the works! Yay!
 like I titled it- call me crazy, but that's me!

Happy Wednesday! 2/6

So after a longggggggg weekend, of which we BBQ'd for Imbolc and thoroughly enjoyed some absolutely beautiful weather here! Yay!!!!!

I am back at the basics- and trying to find the house- what is it about weekends that is so absolutely messy?

LOL

All is well though, and I am hoping all who come across this we blessed with a loving, bright and happy weekend!

I am drying my curls as I write, and I noticed a lot of ads for Valentine's Day coming up. I had forgotten about it. Not being surrounded by girls, or little ones anymore- and not being a huge TV watcher -LOL- I just tend to forget that one. Ack!  Maybe it's bad. Maybe that's good.... I often get very tired of the hype surrounding some holidays. Valentine's Day is one of the worst. It has become so commercialized that people do not realize it should just be about loving and caring for others.  Recognizing a person and acknowledging their qualities and showing you care should be the best gift given at anytime, but the media pushes value to diamonds, and flowers, and chocolates like that is all it's about. And if you don't get jewelry or sweets you have been cheated! Oh my! .... but to me- Nice as they are- most regular folk are just barely recovering from the budget blowers of xmas- much less have money for diamonds. (Eye rolls here!) It just further perpetuates the problem.

Also I went through a period of years working as a florist where I HATED Valentine (mother's day is not much better). As purchaser and orderer of the bulk flowers available for Valentine's day rush- The quality coming out of the warehouses and greenhouses and shipments are crap! The rush to provide for the media pushed hype causes suppliers to cut early and store longer- meaning even the best of florists get old flowers delivered to them that are supposed to be fresh! -They are not. Trust me- after nearly 10 years dealing with rush day of over thousand orders each time- trust me people- the WORST time to buy flowers is valentines day. Wait 2 weeks-3 would be better!- surprise her when she really least expects it- but not on Valentine's day.... not if you want quality flowers that last extra long. 

But that's just me. I'll probably get bashed for my opinion, but oh well. What do I recommend instead? It depends on the girl, but heartfelt cards, lots a lovin!, nice food, and extra huggin' ;P can go a long way!

On another note, after time taken this weekend to specifically attune with Mother Nature I just wanted to share - because many people focus just on Moon, and do not realize how the sun can daily affect our lives. Father Sun is a powerful being and he has been so active lately! This year is incredible for solar activity! Solar flares really affect us all! Moods change, things feel off-odd and some people are more sensitive than others! It affects the magnetic field of the whole mother earth each time a solar flare projects our way! Been feeling particularly odd? Can't quite focus? Thoughts just are not as organized? Check for flares! It may have a lot more to do with it than you realize! The perfect site to find out about it- ion a scientific level, is .spaceweather.com- a treasure trove of information! Starts to help make sense scientifically of what the traditional pagan cultures and belief systems have tried to tell us all along! Check it out!

Wednesday Walk in the Tiptoe time

This morning- 6:30 am we discovered a cloud cover that caused the sunrise to look bizarre! Just a bright red line on the horizon. I tried to take a pic of it- but my camera sucks- and I didn't wait for he tripod to steady it- still blurry you can get the idea of the red! the huge amount of grey is nothing but clouds that are still there! needless to say- it makes for a day that's hard to wake up!

Despite the grey! I have caught up on the house and had helpers! The kitties are their usual hyper when weather changes- mine get super weirdo - and they decided mom changing the sheets was way too fun to ignore! It's playtime!!!!!!
Needless to say I rewashed the sheet- LOL -but we had a ton of fun! So what I have noticed today was a need for  distant relationships- to spend time with those not always super close. Not worried about hubby or kids- they're fine- but multiple calls and texts and chat messages  from cousins, helping out with family tree  advice with distant cousin & editing a bit on my own book for one side of the family tree,  looking up herbal remedies for Fibromyalgia with another, and then suddenly my kitties crave attention- so attention I give! Brought  huge smile to my face and completed a day that oddly felt successful -yet I had nothing more accomplished on my to do list than when I started! LOL I guess some days are just like that.

 

One

One

One moment at a time

One fragment of life

One spirit to share

One

One breathe to take

One life to make

One

One view to see

One truth to believe

One dream to dream

One

Now
