Happy November! I’m really glad to see the new month come. I’m ready for fresh starts and new promise and all that a new anything is supposed to bring.

Ushering in November
1000 Journals Project
This book isn’t new, but it’s wonderful. It found it’s way into my pile of books to review, and I moved it to te top. A man sent 1000 journals into the world for us to work in, and waited for their return. The book is the resulf of his leap-of-faith experiment and it’s amazing. I worked in one of the journals, but didn’t make it into the book. :(
Anyway, it’s a great book, very inspiring, real, and honest. It’s what I’m reading this week.

zomg, Vince Shamwow is *back*! by pragmatic_pete
OMG! I've bought oxiclean. Does that count? I have to admit though, the ShamWow dude does have an oddly peculiar charm about him.

I’m HD and Digital….
Yay me! Too bad they moved the date out till June. But I’m ready for it. I’m so proud. Now all I need is a new TV stand. I’ve been researching, and I’ve found some pretty neat stuff. Who would have thought tv stands could be so innovative.
I think it’s the reduction in size that makes them able to offer so many neat options. I’m like a little kid in a toy store, I tell ya!

Making Myself Feel a Little More Secure
Ever since we lost our home to fire(Dec 23, 2007), I’ve lost any sense of security I had. I worry when I leave the house that when I come home, we’re not going to have one. I’ll turn around and come home to check that everything is off or unplugged. I’ll leave family gatherings, shopping trips, meals out, to make sure the house is o.k.
This, and a series of t.v. commercials that add to my nervousness and need to find security, have got me looking into home security systems. Too much of my time has been spend wondering “what if?” What if one of my kids had been home alone that night? What if we hadn’t taken the dog with us to the family gathering we were at? What if I’d lay down for a nap like I wanted instead of being on time? My research has led me to the ADT Security systems.
I like them because they are affordable, and would protect us against not only fire, but robbery, would call an ambulance or the police department if needed, and would keep a list of emergency contacts in case one of the kids were in trouble. ADT would call for them. Perfect!
After going through the fire trauma, I think this is certainly the way for us to go. Home security is just too important for me to ignore any more. I’m feeling a bit safer just knowing I’ve made this decision.

Anthony’s Want a Private Video Visit With Casey
Ummmm……..I don’t think so. Why is she special? I’ll be shocked if she didn’t kill her child. She reminds me of a couple moms I had in daycare. All they cared about was getting out there and partying, looking for a man. Their children were just a huge inconvenience.
Caylee was so darling. It breaks my heart. I would have taken her to raise in a heartbeat, as I would have any of my troubled daycare babies. In fact, I almost adopted one of them, but FSSA and I both felt that since the woman knew me and lived in the same small town, that she would find out and not leave us alone. She had lost all rights to her child. It was hard, but in the end I had to agree and do what was best for the child and let him go to a wonderful family in another town because there was no way he could thrive with her around.
Why didn’t this child’s grandparents step in and take Caylee? Casey might have used the baby as leverage to get money, etc from them. I’ve seen that happen.
Casey is definitely a selfish woman.
I have to wonder, too, if they are planning to take the ashes to the jail for Casey to say goodbye? I’ll keep my mouth shut on her rights to say goodbye. Sorry, I have a hard time presuming her innocent.

To The Mall!
I feel like shopping. Not sure what brings on these random bursts of consumerism, but they happen. I’m not proud of them. I never am. But it is what it is.
I usually rethink my jones for a new purse or Beautifeel shoes when I’m there. Something about being at the mall when the only people there are suburban moms pushing their screaming babies in strollers and watching them gossip about what Jenny might be up to with Ellen’s husband or brother or whoever she’s up to whatever with and having to dodge said strollers rather than get mowed over flat because the suburban mom with babies squad doesn’t care if they do have the whole isle blocked and you have no way around them they are going to keep going in their straight little line even if it means bloodshed as they flatten me out where I stand on my quest for stress relief via binge shopping.
Of course, by the time I’m already there, and have risked life and limb, you can bet, yep, darn straight you can bet the farm on it, I’m going to buy something whether I need it or not. Yeh, whether I like it or not, whehter it’s on clearance or not. I’m. Gonna. Buy.
There has to be some sort of medication for this condition. Therapy? A twelve step program to keep me out of the malls on week days?

Pain, Pain Go Away
I am so tired of being wracked with pain. The last couple of months have been awful. Horrible.
Right now I’m gettting a little break from it. Probably just a short recess, a couple hours of freedom from the demon that rides on my shoulders. I carry so many. They are getting to heavy.
I’m so refreshed and able to move without much pain, I don’t know what to do first. I know to go slowly, though, no matter what my body wants to do. Overdoing will be much worse than letting things go undone. Pain Demon punishes me terrible for over doing.
He’s still there though. He’s looking over my shoulder. Pain will pinch my knees or another vulnerable place every few minutes. He thinks he has to remind me that no little white pills will defeat him permenently. He’s only giving me this small respite because he wants to. He’ll be back very soon full force and I’ll be in a ball in my bead, wondering how much longer I can keep this up. The Pain Demon likes to play these kinds of mind games with me.
