Cuz, Violence has No Point!!!
My heart goes out to Jennifer Hudson and her family. I've always been a fan of Jennifer Hudson. She has such talent and class. No one should have to go through the tragedy that she is living right now.
Sad.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Fall dropped by Dallas yesterday. God, I love it. That crisp, cool air is amazing. Pulling out the sweat shirts and blankets. Football weather. Brilliant reds and yellows have escaped and replaced the green leaves on trees. I saw a picture of fall leaves in the northeast that absolutely took my breath away. I have to wonder what it is about fall that many people love so much. I have no freakin idea. But, I will just drink it in and enjoy.
So, what have you guys been up to? Me? I've been trying to get my life back to normal (whatever normal is). I have a Halloween Costume Party to attend tomorrow and don't have a costume yet. What? I know you weren't shocked that I procrastinated. I'm working the Adopt-A-Pet for the Dog and Kitty City on Saturday. And, I would really like to take in a movie on Sunday, but we'll have to see. Work has been busy since the market is, well, nuts. And, it is getting close to holiday season so there will be more people out (not me-I'm out of vacation days due to family craziness). As you can tell, nothing exciting or even worth blogging about lately. Very. Boring. Me. But, I will take boring any day. Trust me, I'm not complaining here. Just merely making excuses for the lack of blog.
I just found out a friend in KC is having her first baby. I'm so very happy for her. I think what makes me smile is that I know what a good mother she will be. And, after having one of the best Mom in the world, I know. So, Congratulations, friend!
Lots of birthdays this month. My sister had a birthday last week. So, Happy Belated Birthday, Dana. My nephew, Dalton, is turning 11 on the 28th and my Dad will be celebrating his birthday on the 26th. And, Eddie, had one yesterday. Enjoy your day guys.
Speaking of my nephew, Dalton, I went to his football game when I was in KC staying with my Dad. He plays tackle football now. It was a fun game to watch. Mostly, I enjoyed watching Dalton. You see, he's the quarterback. And, even though the team still needs lots of practice, I loved watching him kneel on one knee in the huddle, check his wrist for the plays and break. That was my favorite part of the game. He got a touchdown. I'd like to think he got the touchdown for me. I told him to get one before the game. He said "OK". And, then he ran the ball past the goal line. I'm pretty sure there was nowhere else on earth I wanted to be at that moment than watching a bunch of 10 year olds celebrate their victory.
That's about all. So, go out and enjoy this weather. Because, as Robert Frost said, "Nothing gold can stay".
Peace.

A Little Piece of Peace
So, I realize that I've been non-talky lately. I've been so, so stressed out lately. I just kind of shut down and went inside for a bit. First, what the hell is up with this damn economy? What goes up must come down, but whoa! Stresser number one, will I have a job tomorrow? Nobody knows the answer to that and unfortunately the US lost about 160,000 jobs last month. Then, my Dad is having a lot, and I mean a lot, of complications with his recovery from open heart surgery. I just lost my Mom in February, I was not about to lose my Dad in the same year. Not going to happen. Thankfully, he is doing better. He is currently in rehab working on gaining some strength back.
Well, since my Dad was out of commission, I took his animals. Ok, if I ever think it is great idea to have two dogs and two cats in a two bedroom apartment ever, kick me. They are getting along great. And, I love them so much. But, I have to clean all the damn time to keep my place from stinking. I seriously don't think I give each of them the attention they deserve either. Funny thing though, when I walk into another room, they all get up and follow me. I feel like Snow White or something. Sometimes I just get up to see them all follow me. Hey, I have to have a little fun, right? Well, taking both the dogs on a walk has been a special treat. One goes one way, the other goes the other. The leashes get tangled. I dropped Riley leash and he went running again. Yes, for those of you that remember, I've done this before. This time, I had the brilliant idea to catch him by stepping on the leash. The leash swung around my leg and cut the hell of me. I had two very deep gashes on my leg. Guess what? They got infected. I had to go to the doctor and spend lots of money on antibiotics and special cream.
Saturday, I went to an all day "Mindful Living" meditation retreat. OMG, I feel so much better. I have so much more clarity. If I lose my job, I lose my job. I can't worry about that. It will just be another adventure in my so called life. I've always wanted to live in Denver or Fargo or Thailand. I'm going home to spend a week getting my Dad back on his feet after rehab. Plus, he really wants his animals back. He asks about them everyday. So, Bailey and Tommy are going home on Thursday. And, my leg? It is healing. The smaller one has closed up and is just red now. The deeper cut is still oozing all kind of yuckiness (sorry, that's gross). But, it too, is healing. Just like me. I'm healing from this messy little thing we call life.
I probably won't post again until I get back to Dallas. Hope all is well in your own little messy worlds. Wishing each of you a little piece of peace.
Take Care.
