It’s Official, I am a WA resident.
Current mood: virginal
Category: Life

Here I have been wanting to belong to something new, something different in my newborn surroundings.  A bowling league?  A dance club?  How about a wine tasting group?  And then it came in the mail, my official driving privilege identification card for Washington state!  This means that I already have a place for me to reside.  It is a place to belong.  I am not an outsider any longer because it is official.  I am a Washington resident.

And I guess that means I am home.

A touch of gray
Current mood: blah
Category: Life

I am feeling a touch of gray.  Much like the weather.  Maybe I am just getting a case of the blahs.  I almost feel like taking a nap, unheard of unless there is football or NASCAR on.

I know that I have to recreate my resume.  It looks like a functional resume would be better.  And it seems that quantity resume submittals is not good in today's market.  I have to really create a new resume for each and every job posting.  I found out that the cover letter I have been using was the wrong one.  So, it is amazing I have had the 3 interviews I did get.

I visited family.  It made me miss home a bit.  I still am making friends in this new location.  Some perceptions of this little town wasn't flattering.  So, I will probably spend most of my time about a 1/2 hour away in Olympia.

Getting settled in to my new home is not always about putting stuff away.  It's also about learning about new rooms in your heart and mind.  There were cobwebs on certain areas of my psyche that I forgot were there.  So these old demons come and go and I have to beat them so they will go away.

See?  Standard blahs.

Sextrology - Astrology for um, humans
Current mood: Like a juiced up Tinker Bell

Sextrology: Astrology for a Great Sex Life.  It's a true book.  True in the fact that I didn't make it up.  Can you believe that someone has created a book based on Asstroll-ogy and human sexuality?  Well, in some ways it hit home way closer than I thought possible.  Good news?  My ex wasn't a good sign for me.  So that was what was wrong!  I am so relieved.

Capricorn is stubborn and a very hard worker.  In bed?  It looks like if I want to sizzle, then Taurus or Pisces are the culprits.  If I just want a harmonious life friendship but no hot mashing of the flesh in the bedroom then a Virgo is the one for me.

This book not only goes into detail about who is compatible and who isn't, it also talks about your bedroom style.  According to http://www.astrologicaldating.com/Capricorn.html if you want drama with your sex, I am your gal!  "Sex with a Capricorn can transcend the spiritual and be intensely profane."  Sweet.  I feel, um, divine now.

Does this affect my search for a good time?  Maybe a little.  I will definitely be more in tune with the birthday of a possible suitor.  I mean who wants comfortable when you can have pizazz?

Oh dear Stars in the Sky, I beseech thee.  Send me a Sandman of smoking hot proportions that only have eyes for me.  Celestial bodies, let me and my shooting star dance naked in the moonlight. 
   Oops, was that too much?

I think I want to wish on a star more often.  And I wrote this blog without any mention of Uranus.

Recovering something lost
Current mood: head banging good
Category: head banging good Life

     Do you know who you really are?  Have you become so obsessed with life and daily living that you left behind something?  Perhaps it is your morning jog that helped you meditate, or maybe it was your monthly picnic in the park?  What turned your crank?
     Since I had been born again single, I have been rediscovering those lost loves.  During my time married, I was requested to not have music on while I slept.  I missed this greatly.  For it was the music that helped fuel my dreams.  It rocked me to sleep, so to say, and it greeted me in the morning.
      I quite smoking and bought an iPod to reward myself two years ago.  Since then I have been able to bring music with me everywhere.  I found a player that runs on batteries so I take it camping, yard work, chores, traveling, and more.  As a matter of fact, that little speaker set went with me on my trips to California last year.
     My lost love, music, has been restored.  And I am all the more richer for it.  I wonder what other fun things have been missing from my life or if I will find a new love.  Maybe kayaking.

What are you missing or did you find it and immerse yourself back into it?

And the heavens opened up
Current mood: soak n wet
Category: soak n wet Life

I am not complaining.  I am adjusting.

I thought the rainy season started in December.  It has basically rained (not drizzled) for 24 hours and there is no end in sight.  Maybe there is, I just haven't looked on the weather channel to verify that.

I thought it was funny when the radio guy started to spout off the five day, "Rain likely, rain probable, rain probable, rain likely, rain likely."  Really?

Ah, well, I instantly figured out that my heals suck in rain.  And will be thinking about alternatives to wear with my business suite.  And I am changing my umbrella from a pink one to a black one.  I don't want them to see my true colors yet.

Pros and cons of chat rooms
Current mood: imaginative
Category: Life

So, I am new in town.  I want to know where the "hot spots" are in the area.  Where can I go where there are similar aged people and ask?  Why a local chat room of course!

A chat room is where people log in and chat by typing in a text box and submitting it for the rest of the room to read.

Exercise, MX, Roll Over, and Dinner & a Movie
Current mood: satisfied
Category: Life

     I can't believe what I crammed into my Sunday.  First, it started off with mom waking just me up early and we headed to the forest.  A nice brisk walk through the wet woods was a great way to start my day.  It was so lush and green.  The air was so rich with oxygen, I almost choked on it.  I love being in nature and the trail we took was padded with pine needles and soft.  It was like walking on a firm pillow.  Man I love my mommy!
     The boy wanted to ride his dirt bike so we found a trail that was about 40 minutes away.  It was mostly sunny and we found a great spot for him to go.  The ride there was beautiful.  We took 106 along the Hood Canal.  This fall is so gorgeous.  There are so many colors this year.  We found it with no problem and he got his bike dirty.  He really did enjoy himself.

My womanly power
Current mood: impressed
Category: Life

  I find myself in awe over the bodacious babe I have become.  No one woman is like me in the whole world.  I am unique and can become delirious with romantic mysticism.  The embodiment of woman, simple elegance, perfect mother nature.

  Why you may ask?  Because I say so and that is all you need to absorb.  Trust in the lady that breaths fantasy and wanton desire.  For it is she that will make you see the fulfillment of life's truest dreams.

  Men become unsure at the mere thought of beholding my heart and attention.  They fear they are unworthy of my feminine overtures.  And they are, to a point.  But I can not be in my full glory alone.  I need their undulating to stimulate my loyalty and caring.

  As often occurs, I become a fool and rush in.  For why love at all if not love fully.  Bask in my love and devotion.  Love may be fleeting, but it be not met with scorn.  No.  It should be embraced and allowed to grow.

  Fantastic is my heart.  It is all encompassing.  And it is lovely.  I am a wonderful woman.  Ecstatic at the attentions of admirers and fallen into breathless levels of excitement.  It is good to be me, a woman who has come into her own.

Washington Bloglogs
Current mood: accomplished
Category: Life

I'm here!  I made it to Washington with my little trailer in tow.  What a bitch that was.  The wind tried to forcibly remove the tin can I was dragging on the ass of my little car.  OMG, I wish I would have taken pictures of the people as they passed me.

40 miles per hour, trucking up the hill, and as the traffic came up on me, all they could see was the trailer.  My car was hidden from view.  The astonished cars craned their necks as they go by, wondering what the heck was pulling the silver box to begin with.  That was Wyoming for you, windy and full of weirdos.  You think they could have gotten out and helped push the poor thing.

Cherri in Utah was the hero.  I crashed on her super soft sofa and dined like a true princess.  She was a perfect hostess.  And it made the remaining ride stress free.

The rest of the trip was uneventful.  Sunny, downhill and boring.  After such trailer trash drama, I decided to go strait to moms and miss my short stops at my two sisters (Montana and Spokane).  Of course I will have to make it up to them both.  So November might be a little busy.

I am just glad to be here.

Big Brother is Watching
Current mood: ninja
Category: Life

It happened!  I was over at my BFF's house to help him winterize his roses last fall.  I wore my thick grey sweat pants and some horrible stripped shirt.  It is not my sexy look.  But, I didn't think I looked that bad.

Well, lets jump back to the present.  His neighbor came by and said there was a picture of me in front of BFF's house on the Internet.  WHAT?

While I was trimming away, bent over, trimming those pesky roses, someone took pictures of his house.  And they took pictures of every house on the block.  www.zillow.com This website shows you pictures of houses from the street.  Supposedly they are for the real estate market.  And I never knew they were there.

I could have been scratching said ass.  I could have been picking that gnat out of my nose.  I could have been fertilizing the lawn for all it matters.  And no knowledge that some Prime Directive was taking pictures of me.  I feel violated.  I mean I have no privacy.  If it was MY house I would have been so pissed!

Try it out.  Go there, type in your address.   You will see your vehicles (including license plates) and toys in the yard.  You can look up and down your block.  You can see what big brother sees.  They always know more about you than you know about them!

Paranoid yet?
