For Today: 10/30/2006
Jump right in to an intimidating situation today -- and prove to yourself that you can do whatever you have the drive to do. You should immediately take control -- don't worry, no one around you is going to mind. In fact, a lot of people are eager to hear what you have to say ... they have been talking about you and are quite eager to see what you can accomplish -- so why not show them? You will be very glad you took the chance -- and took the control.
A close friendship is getting closer, and you are slowly learning that there are even more kinds of love than you had ever imagined. The two of you are a study of balance: What each of you lacks, the other has in spades. And beyond that, you bring out the best in each other. So if you are trying to make the right choice but need a little push, call them and tell them what's up. They will inspire you to do what is best for you in the long run.

Lost
Some of you already know we are big fans of the Television series "LOST".
We missed the first 2 seasons, so we ordered both series from netflix and had LOST marathons that would end up being 7 hours or more.
We had a lot of catching up to do!
That's how we would spend some of our Sundays! haha This coming from someone who isn't even into TV. What can I say...were hooked.
To my surprise, there seems to be alot of LOST Blogs/journals online. Some Love it, Some hate it.
Here's some comments on it..
God I'm glad I don't watch this gay shit. They pay JJ Abrams $55 M for all the bullshit inconsistancy that I'm hearing now? I'm not even curious about it anymore. I rather pay someone $55 M to bring back Seinfeld.Comment from lphvwbus - 10/13/06 11:01 AM
i get tired of the flashbacks, I used to watch because I could literally get lost in the plot and this would pull me out of any situation but now it just boring.Comment from sandma6071 - 10/12/06 11:19 PM
lost has "lost" me as a viewer....my son asked me what happened on both episodes this season and both times i replied....nothing. absolutely nothing.Comment from dkelleymarie - 10/12/06 5:56 PM

Remember Being A Kid?
I really enjoyed reading this. So much so, I thought I'd share it.
Being a kid isn't always great — OK, it can stink
Sometimes I have to remind myself it wasn't always THAT great being a kid. For instance, it stinks to be a kid when you're getting picked on at school or when you're in a fight with your friends and they're passing snotty notes about you to other people. It stinks when all your friends are in the high reading group and you're not, and it also stinks when you don't understand the math worksheet even though really stupid boys do.
It stinks when the boy you love doesn't love you back because he already loves the girl who has a chest. It stinks when you get caught doing something you shouldn't do and the principal hauls you into the office to call your mom. Again.
Here are some other things that stink when you're a kid. Losing school library books, especially ones you didn't like anyway. Waiting for your parents while they talk to people after church. Forgetting your homework. Doing stupid geography reports on countries you never heard of because somebody else already got the country you wanted, i.e. "Switzerland." Having to eat stuff you hate, like oatmeal. Being the last kid on the hill with lace-up ski boots. Getting a home permanent because your mom thinks you'll look cute with one.
Wait! There's more! Missing the bus. Listening to adults fight. Going to bed in the summer when it's still light outside. Watching what your grandpa wants to watch on TV, such as the news or "The Lawrence Welk Show." Not having your own money. Not having your own transportation because your brother left your bike outside and it got stolen — just like your dad said it would.
For me, one of the worst things about being a kid was that I didn't always know how to say what I meant, especially to adults. Let me give you an example. When I was 4 or 5 years old, I went with my parents to Liberty Park, where I struck up one of those quick kid friendships with a tiny girl my own age. We chased around for a while, after which we hauled our happy sweaty selves over to the water fountain to get a drink. My new best friend bent over the spout first, and I turned the handle up for her because I wanted to help. Only oops! The water gushed into her face and soaked her shirt.
The next thing I knew her mother was swooping down on me, berating me for getting her daughter wet. I wanted to apologize, to tell her it was an accident. But I couldn't find the words, so I stood there feeling shame pump through my veins. The mother grabbed her daughter by the wrist and marched her far, far away from me, and as I remembered the whole episode on our way home from the park, I started to cry.
"What's the matter?" my mother asked. I wanted to tell her. Only I couldn't find the words. Instead, I just buried my face in the car seat and cried.
So, as I was saying, it wasn't always that great to be a kid.
I was, in fact, saying this to myself as I stepped out onto the porch this morning where I found my cat, Coco, sprawled on the welcome mat. Coco, who isn't a year old yet, is pretty much like a hummingbird — always in motion. So to see her lounging around like that amused me. Better still, she let me pick her up. Immediately she climbed onto my shoulder and buried her head in my hair and purred like a motor. She smelled like sun and cut grass and sidewalk — just like my old cat Ginger used to smell when she rode around on my shoulder.
And suddenly I was 10 again, and another voice inside me said, "Actually, it was that great to be a kid."

Freedom of Speech
National Freedom of Speech Week October 16-22
We are so lucky to have this Amendment!
For me, this means that true liberty exists here every day, every hour and every minute of our lives.
It's terrifying to think about living in a society where we are told what to listen to, watch, read & how much.
Imagine our lives without it......
Be grateful for it....

HOT AND SOUR PUMPKIN SOUP
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
Cook onion, garlic, and ginger in 1 tablespoon oil in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add pumpkin and wine and boil, uncovered, until wine is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Stir in stock and simmer, covered, until pumpkin is tender, about 20 minutes.
Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté lemongrass, galangal, and chiles to taste, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Purée pumpkin mixture in batches (use caution when blending hot liquids) and return to pot. Stir in lemongrass mixture, lime leaves, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. Simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes. Pour soup through a sieve, discarding solids, and season well with salt and pepper.
Note: • Soup can be made 2 days ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
