I get the strangest things in my guestbook….

Thank you for the very helpful resources you make available. As a House Group Leader in our local evangelical church I find them very useful. God Bless you in the work you are involved in for Him in your part of the harvest field. Good luck! Do not are ill !! 😉

As usual, I walked away from laundering the cats with at least one well placed scratch. Thankfully the other two are easy. Guess that’s what I get for trying to wash a feisty pussy.

In other news, I’ve accomplished most of the laundry and i cleaned/organized my pants drawer (underwear is next, and yes industrialreich, you may help me with that one). Is it pathetic that my drawer is now organized by BDU/Pants, and then by country of pattern origin? Oh well, least I can find everything, now to just get a better version of Marpat pants. The civie version was poorly constructed.

Scorpio for this week:

For the first time in thousands of years, grass is now growing year-round in Antarctica. Winter temperatures have risen nine degrees Fahrenheit in the last thirty years, allowing wild lawns to spread where there were once ice sheets. I see a comparable metamorphosis for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. A once-barren or frozen landscape in your psyche will show signs of vibrant life. A part of your world that has been inhospitable will welcome you

Funny, and to think I thanked my Evil Fraternal Twin for facilitating the spark that brought me back to life. *giggles* And everything else that has been reminding me what it’s like to be living inside. Talk about timing.

So, the Iraqi election the other day is supposedly a farce. Well, let’s face it, had Saddam stayed around, they wouldn’t have had them – as his idea of an election is everyone has to vote for him, as he’s the only candidate and there isn’t a line for a write-in. Yeah, things ain’t grand over there, but a good number of the people that lived there pretty much told the insurgents to fuck-off. How’d they do this? Well, they voted, and they voted in larger numbers than we’d ever get over here, despite being told that assisting the US in instituting a democratic republic would result in death. They went to the polls anyway. I’m proud of those people, and they should be proud of themselves. They know, that getting on their feet is the way to assist us in leaving their country. They’re starting to see that giving in to the insurgents would not benefit them at all, in fact, I wouldn’t be too surprised if us leaving would result in larger civilian casualties from the insurgents going after those who want to continue the path that they are now on, towards a democratic republic. With that said, some blogs for you all, please check through their links as well (these will open in new windows)

One thing I hate about the South…there’s a report of an ice storm coming. So they all storm the grocery store like there’s no tomorrow. Thankfully, I needed real stuff, and didn’t feel the need to go searching every grocery store in 50 miles to find bottled water, and I buy fancy bread, so there was plenty of that.

Let’s see, today involved slapping a heating pad on the back of my legs so I can move, will be stretching shortly. Cleaned out my make-up kit, now I need to clean the kit itself, but that will have to wait till tomorrow. Got word on the job, and I’m comfortable with the way things are being handled. (Just realized that I needed to check my voicemail – 11 messages, wow) Anyway, things in life are going quite well. I’m gearing up to visit Aviano around June/July, will be very cool because I can’t wait to visit my Zoomie. And yes, luxpagani has put it quite well, in that I’m a smitten kitten, because I am. I’ve got my boys and they both make me absolutely very happy, one of these days I’ll write it down in separate posts and make the both of them blush with mushiness. God they’re awesome. I love them to death. Can I say that enough? Hrm, don’t think so, but I’ll spare all of you all with sappy girliness that is me, at the moment. Mmmmmmmm, happy thoughts. Yeah, anyway….

Got the rooms set up for Prog, will be much fun and evilness abounds. The Evil Twin and I have decided to make the jump from the Fairfield to the Residence Inn so we can be social (yeah, we’re being followers for once). But of course, how can we truly be evil if we’re separated from everyone else, where we can’t taunt and be evil? Hrm? So, I’ll officially state that I will have the non-stop coffee going in my room, and I will commence organizing the Official ProgPower Corset Day in the next few weeks. Need to get my door sign printed *eg* as I have it designed. Note warning to you nuts who will be there, who also read this….those not getting cinched must wait outside. I’m a D*Con vet, and there will be no over-crowding in my room, period. 🙂

So on the way to the bar tonight, I’m listening to Bush: Deconstructed and on comes the remix of Mouth. Talk about a flood of memories coming back. That song was the soundtrack to my first and only dished out lapdance, to a subject who’s shyness froze him in his chair, with the realization that EVERYONE in our section of the bar area, of a college club, was staring at him. Yeah, that was fun times. Especially with the girlfriend on the dance floor watching me and giving me an equally evil grin back. Man, if she could have easily gotten off the dance floor, I’m sure she would have joined me.

Fun, fun times.
