from wikipedia: ...bibliomania is characterized by the collecting of books which have no use to the collector nor any great instrinsic value to a genuine book collector.

Well, I guess I'm in.

Aww ... Ya had to go'n post that.
Now I know I have problems.
Count me in also x2 ....

support group here I come ~

I love love love books. Addicted and accounted for, lol.
I cannot go into any of the local shops here, they see me coming, and hand me the key, "close up when your done " and the library ... Oh My ... I have their internet sight and order day 'n night. I come outta there with bags of books. After reading most of them, I have to go on ebay and find the books to buy ... I am soooo bad ~

I went up on Saturday and did the ceremonial last run of the season honestly, it was more like surfing than snowboarding. I kissed the snow and silently thanked the mountain for the good year.
I know you all look forward to summer and the sun but to me this time of year is hell. I can't handle the heat, I wear a cowboy hat and sun glasses all summer. I cook and my freckles turn this funny shade of green...it's not all that bad, you can really only tell they are kind of green when you get up close. August is the worst...I start hearing the sound of the edges hit the snow in my dreams.
Oh well, here we go again...

yeah summer

how does it feel to be treated ilke a slutty little princess? I could barely believe it...my husband has been o ut of town for weeks, I sometimes say I dont miss him, but mostly I do and thats all just a cover. we have had awful times in the past, and thats where they should stay, I know this.

he has never done this, he called me one night and asked me my "sizes" bra nd panty, lol

he brought home outfit, my god, its so sexy, its delicuously hot!

its a black and gray pinstripe corset and thong with red bows in all the important places, lol and black fishnets, a collar with spikes and a leash.

its like he has somehow figured out, after 25 years, that I wanted a fantasy lke that SO much, and he did it...for me...said he saw some girls in a biker bar where he and his brother would stop after work and asked them where to buy clothes like that....nope, I didnt bitch at him for being in a bar lke that, I realized he must really love me if he saw women dressed up all sexy and slutty and thought of me, made me cry

I wanted to let you all know, I got moved okay, am just exhausted, and hubby made it home AFTER all the hard work was done, but he more than made up for that....


xoxoxo

he has begun moving my garden, I even saw a lizard

I took the dog to the river at 6:30 am this morning, the light creeps into the sky so much earlier now. I had forgotten how much that changes my sleep pattern durning the spring and summer. Sometime around 4:30am my eye's open and I can't go back to sleep.
It was cold down there but the walk was nice, I could only stand about thirty minutes before my coffee drive kicked in. I think the dog was happy she got to go out with me this morning...I worry about cougars sometimes. Probably because I just watched a "When Animals Attack" show on the Discovery channel and I live in cougar habitat. Funny, I never worry about me...just the dog.
Work has been crazy, I am a day behind on every thing and my rock moving muscles are sore this morning. Time for yoga before work and a hot shower...
I am moving all the pictures in my gallery to musephotography soon, I will provide a link on my sig line when I do. I am also getting ready to shoot for a fashion competition later this month...three new models, two girls and one guy. Should be fun...

I have had a live journal for a while now, started the first time I left lit for good eh hem, but mostly I have used it for works in progress, trying to keep track of this and that, bitching moaning and the like. It has gotten unweilding. I do not even know where to start. It seems my files are bursting, even though I try to keep them organized... the more I write the more I have, I am glad I slowed down the poetry production or it would be completely out of hand.

So I started a new blog for poems that are finished (well, as much as a poem can be finished) so I have a single place for them. I am not sure why I am doing this, might be a short lived phase like my flick'r, my hayloft blog, my this and that...

what are we supposed to do with all of this poetry anyway???? Of course, the main thing is to write it, but then what? It is like the kids artwork they bring from school. I look at it, admire it, tell them great job, hang it on the fridge or on the wall and then..... then what?

I cannot keep it all... so what is the importance? The experience of creating the handprint turkeys and K word Kite and spray paint noodle collage?

So a blog. Vinegar and Brown Paper I am calling it. I think I will put up photos as well. I was doing this as a part of my editor's pages at Mannequin Envy, but this seems so much easier to update and manage.

at any rate. for me it should be called a blah blah blahg.
Vinegar and Brown Paper
......

I wish someone would just bid on this house already. It has been on the market a week and a half, I know I need to be patient, but having to clean vacate with dog and kids is a pain, although I am liking all of the dinners out while people come to peruse my home, seeing if it meets their standards... bizarre process.

I was out of town again—this time in Irvine, California—eating dinner by myself, as usual. Seafood restaurant. Kind of a hangout for me in the area.

One of the things I like about it is that it has a long dining bar, separate from the bar bar, that overlooks the grill. You can sit and watch them cook your meal (and everyone else's as well). It's also pretty well lit, so I can read a book or work if need be. Plus you don't need a reservation to sit there. There's usually a place free. Often several. So I like it. It's comfortable and I like the food.

So anyway, I'm sitting at the bar, working on some grilled ahi when another guy sits down next to me. Orders a bowl of chowder, which he promptly eats, then a hamachi plate. Mixed sushi and sashimi. It comes with chopsticks, the Japanese kind—the short ones you have to break in two. What's odd about this—what fascinates me—is that he holds the two sticks by the very tips of his fingers, as one would hold a sumi brush for calligraphy. Flexible and expressive to move the ends, but almost useless to pick things up.

The hamachi (yellowfin tuna) is cut in very thin slices. Trying to pick a piece up, he pushes it around the plate, left and right, finally managing to tweeze it delicately between the tips of the chopsticks before dropping it. Then he pushes it around the plate some more. Tweeze. Drop. Push. Tweeze.

I want to say "No, no. You're holding them wrong," and grab his hands and show him how I'd do it. But of course, I don't really know how to use chopsticks either. I just know I can use them better than he can.

I flash on memories of watching people who are comfortable with them. How they hold even the long Chinese-style sticks very near the end. How they hold them relaxed, natural, confident.

He has a fork. I wonder why he doesn't use it.

i know nobody reads this thing so i've decided to confess...

now and again i have this incredible urge for something salty
to run my tongue across. nobody who knows me can tell
when i'm going through one of these urges, i have become
a mistress, clever at hiding the need well.

a few months ago, gosh it feels like a lifetime
when i stop and think about it, a few months ago
i discovered how to cater to the need. of course
there was no option of just forgetting the urge
or sidetracking my mind. anyhow, i've trapped
and tamed it and now i have to add popping
corn to my grocery list because if i don't get a fix
of natural popped corn i'll be climbing walls
to find something else.

now there's a thought. - btw i don't look like a frog.

 

[The Mystery Valiant]

Rules? What rules?

you were meant to keep it a secret from me. didn't you read the rules?

From what I've read around this forum, no one follows any rules! "We don't need no stinkin' badges!"

My youngest daughter had her final orchestra concert tonight. she is in the honor orchestra aka chamber orchestra. its the same thing. she is first chair viola and I cried before they even started playing. no more concerts, she is going to college. has a MY space page and talks to ther people attending her college this fall. there is no orchestra there but plenty of unused instruments. I hope she finds the time to get together with the others who like to play.

i already miss her and yet I crave her to go..not in a bad way, but in that freeing way, like when the orchestra starts up, you can feel the tension of the strings about to jump into the music and saw you in half with the beauty that those 43 kids pluck and saw from wood and glue and hours of practice.

honor orchestra had 23 seniors this year and it just wont be the same. my hubby bleated when she walked across the stage to get her award and she laughed, it wouldnt have been th same if he had just clapped..she tells her friends, "its a private joke" but they get a laugh from it too.

okay, i bore you, Sir Blog, so what!! IM going to bed in my new tiny home, i feel like the lady in the shoe sometimes, but with no mo kids, dont know what to do

good nite John Boy--


hugs

Good Eve Mates ~

I am wondering. Do people believe in bad luck?
OR
Is it just that people do not pay enough attention to what is going on around them, therefor not realizing ~ or seeing the consequences ...

I have been told so many times
" if you were to write all this down, it would be a best seller ." I am here to tell ya'll if I were to write my life down in a book ... no one would ever believe most of it. Some things just happen in life, others are what we make of them. So even while trying to better self and life, all these stupid, horrible, crazy things happen. Talk about misfortune, I must be the Queen of Misfortune ~

 

[wildsweetone]

oh boy do i understand that.


RF, believe that it's cyclic okay? it will get better.

my car balked today at the price of petrol. i drove into the gas station, stopped the engine, smiled at the young chap (why are they all so young?) who came straight out and offered to fill my tank for me. i lifted the little button that's set awkwardly between the door and the seat and waited a couple of seconds, climbed out of the car and got my wallet ready.

"Would you like to open the petrol cap door, please?" he asked.

well hell. i thought i had. but maybe i'd opened the boot lid instead as i've done that before now. i tried the petrol button again.

nothing.

zilch.

nada.

no way jose.

that's the first time in my life i've driven away from a petrol station without getting any petrol because my car refused to open the petrol cap.

just as well the orange light still works.

RF, I DO believe in bad luck. I can tell you the most Crazy thing ever happened to me, but I cant explain it all here, sounds like a conspiracy theory, but....

i was arrested for murder in 1993. I turned a gun in, to the sheriffs dept, in 1986 and 7 years later that gun was tied to a murder, and I was charged with after the fact, misprison of a felony and obstruction of justice. ( well, I told the agent to go F himself when he threatened to arrest me,. so he had an attitude)...you cant believe what hell I went through to get that off my record, and I spent 19 days in jail. Im a GOOD girl,...it was a hard time. I hope your bad luck was nothing like mine.

NOW, everyone may gaspp in horror and disbelief, but I will tell you, I was not the first wrongfully arrested and I wont be the last, sadly.... it took a very kIND and wise lady judge to ask where the gun came from, as the warrant said I was apprehended with it,. I told her, I turned it in, that was 3 days into the jail time, and well, she investigated, the detective was eventually charged with misuse of his office and was "resigned" with full pension. I didnt even get an apology....


sometimes life sucks, but everything has a reason, I think, I believethat with all my heart and soul, so dont let it get you down, sweet Rhyme Fairy

I think I'm in love, but not completely sure. How can you tell? Is there some kind of test I can take?

it's hot and sticky in London, driving me absolutely insane. Traffic is incredibly bad, going on the bus today was a nightmare.

Just makes me want to rip out my hair, Medea style
