As Promised (though rather late) Evey in San Fran and Beyond ...
Some odd people I met on the train (aka Uncle Ricky and Aunt Dot)
Entrance to China Town w/ Uncle Ricky
Two Beautiful ladies on the town : P
The picture says it all...
And they said pigs don't fly?
Hmmm... could they be pointing out a missing ring from Evey's finger?
Okay, this one came out before the parade even began..
Fu Dogs on the March
Fan Dancers
Watch out for the dragon, lady!
I love being a tourist : )
Uncle Ricky and Aunt Dot in Muir Woods
They sure do grow 'em tall in California
Welcome Ewoks... come on in
The view from Mount Tam
Beautiful Montrey Bay, CA
Watch these guys for too long and you fall asleep..
Uncle Ricky andFriends
It's Ariel.... nope, just Eve
The rest are still forthcoming. I have to go to the other computer that they are on : )

Stuck in my head
This marvel wonder of a brain, the likes of which could create mind boggling ideas and memories is stuck....
It is stuck on the song " You don't own me". In between chorus of this song, I wonder why and how a song gets stuck. It happens all the time and we all have various remedies for getting it unstuck.
But how does it become stuck in the first place?
Curious....
Good day and Frere Jacques, frere jacques, dormez-vous?

In a Dry and Thirsty Land Where no water is...
Why is it the mere knowing that I can't have water makes me thirsty?
The water at work came on and went off today at odd intervals. It would come on after I had sent the emails to my supervisor alerting her of it being off : )
Good night and all praise for Zephyrhills!

An Easter Well Spent
This weekend was Easter. God may have been raised from the dead but B and I didn't barely raise ourselves from the bed this Sunday.
Now before you start contemplating ways in which I am a heathen, consider this. Never a day passes without a prayer in some way, shape or form. I had written this whole section on faith and God. And I keep deleting it. To me, my belief in Christ is just that. I don't want to use it as a battering ram or a judgement stick. I would rather my acts speak for themselves.
And in that Easter spirit, I have a joke. Of course, God laughs. You can not make a joyful noise without joy.
There were three men standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter comes out and tells them that they have to answer one question before they can enter. So he asked the first man, "What happened on Easter?". The first man thinks and says, "That's when we all dress up and get candy, right?". St. Peter shakes his head and asks the second man the same question. The second man thinks and says, " That's when Jesus was born and we get loot, right?". St. Peter again shakes his head. He asked the last man, " What happened on Easter?". The third man answers, " That's when Jesus comes out of his tomb...". St. Peter begins to smile but it quickly turns to a frown as the last man continues"... and if he sees his shadow, we get six more weeks of winter, right?"
Good day and welcome happy morning age to age shall sing!

Woots!
My life has been filled with many little woots in the last week.
Take for example, yesterday. It was my day off and in the middle of the day, the electrican showed up and was able to fix the circuit breaker which now allows me to wash and dry laundry at the same time. Woot! A small thing being able to do laundry, you might think. But having to drag it elsewhere and sit and wait for it to be done only to throw in the next load is a soulsucker.
Even if you bring along something to do, you can still feel that sutble pull on your soul.
I also got to open the windows for the cats. They love it. It is Kittyvision. I remember growing up that sometimes windows and fans were our type of central air. Maybe that is why every chance I get I love opening the windows. Woot!
The other two things I did yesterday were putting up laundry with B and going to FIHS to see my niece in a band/colorguard presentation. It felt like my first auntie outing. I was so proud of how well she did and how beautiful she looked doing it. It made me miss twirling flags. But regardless she did just great. Woot! And the putting up laundry with B was one of those moments where we were just talking and laughing and doing something together. Woot!
Good day and this is the day that the Lord hath made.... Woot, Woot!

Ma familia
Did you ever see Moonstruck?
It has the quintessential lesson of no matter what your family does , they are your family...(in the movie, Cher got engaged to one brother and ended up being engaged to the other brother that she was supposed to convince to go to her wedding)
I am still learning this lesson. There have been times when I wanted to disown them. But in truth they are what makes life life. I do want to throttle them at times.
I don't mind being the quiet one though. There is one day though that I want to be the one in the center of it all. It will be the most important day thus far. I really want it to be just a day of family and some friends. This may mean being really strick on the guest list... which is weird for me. Normally I have such a hard time and so dislike excluding anyone. But with the cruise, it is supposed to be 20 for the package and it is a set price for any extras.
But in truth, there only needs to be me and him and it becomes the perfect wedding.
How do I tell someone I only wanted to invite them and not the person that they just turned to and invited? It isn't because of the person but I feel like somehow it will turn the day into all about them and not about B and I. And writing "No, they can't come" is a lot easier than saying it. But I will if need be. I never want to be a demanding person. But it is a fine line between standing up for your self and being demanding. Ugh!
Good night and be strong, E.
