well it makes me feel no better to know that i am not the only
one that's home alone today. my kid is off to have dinner with
her friends and friends family. my ex is home alone (that is
somewhat uplifting), but still i would rather be having a nice
time with my family. i cooked like i knew what i was doing last
nite, and now there isn't anyone but me to eat it. i guess that is
alrght, since it all turned out ok. i will no doubt gain 15 pounds
if i eat it all. none of it was low fat or low carb. so im working
on knockin back the rest of my jaggermiester and seven up.
doin a right fine job of it too. so all my friends and only brothers
no matter how you spend it or who you spend it with
have a wonderful christmas!
here's a little somethin to help put a smile on it....

ya ya merry f;ing christms!!
ya bah humbug... i just can't get into it. i tryed, am trying. my friends brought me
a charlie brown christmas tree. i put out some decorations. i wanted to bake some stuff
and i probably will, butthere is something about this time of year that doesn't feel right.
it could be the major drain on my pocketbook or it may be the pressure and stress of
getting cards and packages mailed off IN TIME. or i bet it's the stress on the seams of my
pants from the five to ten extra pounds i've put on...i dont know but i know new years eve is
always better than the last few days before christmas. hope you all are havin a better
time than me.and really have a MERRY HAPPY HO HO!

i just real some of my blog and realized that proof reading before posting has it's advantages. i do apologize for my recipe on CHEAP WINE COOLERS. since it was a bit messed up (you'ld think i was messed up when i posted it), here it is again...
CHEAP WINE COOLERS
one bottle of MAD DOG 20/20 (mogan david is the actuall brand name) ORANGE
one 2 liter bottle of SQUIRT soda
ICE
LIME wedges
fill your glasses with ICE. pour between 1/3 to 1/2 M.D.20/20, and the rest SQUIRT soda. add a wedge of lime to each glass and ENJOY! these are espeacially good on hot days or for BBQ drinks.
watch out though this stuff is potent and sweet (hence the wedge of lime) and will give you a nasty hang over IF you drink too much.
enough of that. i'm in livermore right now-AGAIN. i figure since august i've been home to concord about two weeks. i really do look forward to getting all my pictures hung and some plants into the pots i've acquired. a couple really nice ones, hopefully i can afford some plants for them. the economy is still in the crapper and money is really tight for me. i live on $820.oo per month. it's a joke really. if it wasn't for housing programs like anka and section8 i could NEVER afford an apartment or home. a single room in an apartment or home costs usually about $500. or more. that's without the cost of utilities and most places want at least a share of those costs. the occupy movement is going on still. i started hearing about them in september of this year. i think it has brought a lot of attention to the state of government affairs and dissatisfaction of J.Q.Citizen with them. it remains to be seen that these protests will have any real effect on the affored mentioned items. i see that J.Q. has been pepper sprayed and arrested not to mention beat and discomforted. my daughter was at work oakland on the day there was a fatal shooting near the occupy oakland encampment. she was a block away. i pray for her safety all the time. i heard that today was the last day for occupiers to be on the park in oakland and the police will be moving them out. the city officials have said they dont plan to raid today but that could change at any time. i dont think i would wait for them to come and arrest me. the cops aren't very nice when they have to remove people. although some of the people may rather be in jail where it's warm. food and water are available, even medical treatment. not very good medical treatment and you can't count on it if you need it. my friend doug wiesburg just died in prison. he was forty-four. they said he had a stroke. to bad he was an good hearted guy. i always thought he would have made a good husband and father for some lucky family. not to be i suppose, too bad. that's all i want to put into this for now. i have to get ready to go to concord. im sure i'll be back here soon.

another birthday down...
damn, you'ld think that i would be gettin better at this by now. i mean the birthday thing. but NO. just kiddin'. had a mostly quiet birthday/ went to applebee's for dinner with my friend libby and her 86 year old mother, lillian. when we got there the staff was singing to another birthday individual. i was telling libby Noo it's NOT my birthday. i really did not want that song to happen again(not only to me) but the unfortunate staffers that have to sing the silly Happy Happy Birthday Song. i had broichette chicken, it was very good.needless to say, the deed was done. 5 or six neatly dressed waiters and waitresses brought a tasty ice cream sunday and that awful song to our table. it was over quickly so we didn't suffer much. i must also mention, that the song was sung with entheusiasm and gusto.while on the subject, the music at app;ebee's sucks. they play real good rock and roll but it's like song samples. i wish some one would actually buy a subscription to satallite radio or breakdown and purchase some real CD;s. i mean it, thirty seconds or so of a song, not one in two hours was complete. i couldn't wait to get out of there. i doubt if iwould ever go back just because of that. SORRY applebee's, that isn't the way to win me over. after dinner came back to libby's place in tracy and continued on packing . it's all almost done. we picked up the keys to her new house today. it's an older home but it's very cute and has nice yards new appliances and new carpets. the master bedroom has its own oversized shower(all new) and huge closet.with mirrored doors. there ia a slider that opens onto the patio( in a nice size backyard). this place is very comfortable. the kitchen is nice with a killer pantry. i think she should be happier there than here in tracy/ as for me i'll be happy when i get to go home and happier still when i get to go to etna! can't wait. hopefullu i will be going up there mabe december or at the end of the momth. if not it'll be in january. i hopee it's sooner than later.
when i think of all the birthdays i celebrated gettin bent and trashed out on libation and medication, the thing y remember most about about those birthdays is.... how strong a drug asprin REALLY is!
have a weird day!!

cant talk ..so i'll write...
ya, ya... i'm sure my ex prayed for days like these! you know, the the ones where he could get a word in edgewise,lol. just called my doctor's office to get my perscription filled. luckily this laryngitis isn't as bad as yesterday.it still is an effort to get any real volume out though. this is going on five days now. i will be so glad to get my voice back. this came on in such a weird way. i had a sore throat for a day or two then, i had slept real hard. when i woke up i felt like someone had kicked me in the ribs. i mean it hurt, really hurt to breath.next day my throat was all tickely and a dry cough came on. in the morning after that i woke up with NO voice. then my ribs stopped hurting. my throat hasn't hurt since day two or three. all together i've been sick for almost a week still have this bunk cough. it kinda comes and goes. i wonder if it's alergies? they are doing quite a bit of constuction about an eight of a mile up wind of where i'm staying. heavy construction. who knows what's in that dust, plus the freeway dust. so here i sit gargling with salt water and praying to God to let me make some other sound besides this croaking,lol. my brother told me i sounded like i was dying and didn't even want to talk to me. it could be because he is also deaf as a box of rocks and has a hard time hearing me when i have a voice, lol. so carry on my brothers and only freinds, and PLEASE make a little extra noise for me while you're at it !

it was the thing to do...
it was the thing to do...i had been trying to contact a freind of mine for days. now this woman isn't always prompt about getting back to ya but usually within at least two days she'ld call me back. after three days and nothing i knew that something was up. so i texted this message...i think U found or stole my freinds phone. U should return it. she really needs it. No deed goes unnoticed Good or Bad. So PLEASE- return it to her. if U stole it and keep it A POX UPON U U GOOD FOR NOTHING PEICE OF CRAP!!
she called the next day and asked me how i knew her phone was gone. i told her because she didnt return my texts or calls in a day or two. that morning a guy she had visited (4 or 5 days earlier), stopped by. he said that some girl was trying to get ahold of her, gave the phone back and said that he was "borrowing it." she mentioned he hadn't asked. and she had no idea where it had been. then she read the text. well i must say i felt like the human race got a gold star (me included)when she told me what happened. so i guess it was the thing to do. there are times that the way we say or do things really does affect the outcome of situations. it doesn't always work, more times than you might think IT DOES WORK appeal to the human side of people - they respond like human beings. GOD IS GOOD!

the night before and our day in court
Wednesday, September 28, 2011
the night before and the day in court...
we woke up after a distressingly uneasy night in an ok motel. the room was ok and the bed was comfortable enough. i sleep with a window or door open, cant stand the fan or air on. libby's mom lillian has a THING about the doors and windows being shut and locked. and libby had the bed by the window. leaving elaine and i behind the wall where it was VERY stuffy. the air conditioner worked and man, it let you know when it was working,LOL it was so noisy. i tryed to stuff paper in spots that may have been responsible for all the racket but no good! after half the night like that i shut the damn thing off!! snuck and opened the door for a while and that was bliss but didnt last long. after i just let us all be stiffled. woke up and elaine and libby and lillian were already up, getting ready. lillian had her clothes on and her purse on her arm. asking us where were we going(at least five times before we left). we got out the door at five minutes to eight and still got to court on time! as usual they tell you to be there at least an hour before the judge shows up. he wasn't to bad but he was firm. the first thing they did was announce that her attourney had been disbarred. after all the things she told me about her bad luck with the court systems i had to laugh outloud. elaine had moved to another county without telling her probation officer and hadnt't finished paying a fine. that's not too awful. they slammed her for it, though. i tryed to say something in her defence and almost went with her. i told them "y'all suck" the judge asked for a financial statement to qualify her for referal to the public deffender office.she goes to court next week. she had no money and i didnt have any to put on her books. libby said she would put some on for her but we'll see. see did get a 25 dollar phone card so she can call us.her sons are doing the windows in the house and washing and detailing her hummer for the money to pay for a train ticket and other costs. keep you all posted on the life and times...
we went to court after a night of pizza and cheap wine coolers.
well i got back home and left Again! i am in Tracy at my freinds house. i have been here for a couple of days. we took my freind elaine to court in Red Bluff. i feel kinda bad because i kept telling her that it was going to be ok and they remanned her to custody. the trip up was long and faily nice. we had four women in the car , it was hot and crowded. fortunately there were no homicides commited, lol. when we to red bluff it was already eight pm or so. it is a pretty town with a lot of motels. the one we were looking for was called the the cinderella motel. it looked over sacremento river. when we spotted the sign a breif excitement welled up in all of us tofinally be able to get out and relax. that was short lived! the cinderella sign was quite visible from the corner of oak st and antelope rd. we drove into the lot where the motel appeared to ber but IT WAS GONE!!! all that was left of it was the pad that was once the motel floors. and yes it did overlook the beautiful sacremento river. SO we went on to ask a local guy about the motels that were available. he gave us the lowdown on the fleabags and the local attractions. so we went on to check out the hamptons and the classic and stayed away from motel six as advised. wound up at the travel lodge. it was the stuffiest room i've ever walked into. elaine was standing next to me when we opened the door it nearly knocked us over. first thing i opened the slider that overlooked the pool and a lrge grassy area.behind that was the river. it was quiet and during the day at was pleasant and pretty, nice and green.we went to court after a night of pizza and cheap wine coolers.

happy birthday billie baby!!
yup my kid turned another year older and we did the same thing we alwwys..dinner and a movie i was hoping for something different but as long as she was happy that's what matters. we got a late start as usual. that's ok i still wasn't ready when she and dad and freind got here. that had partly to do with the fact that i was told we were goin to the city.i had dressed in layers, way too warm for here.and billie didn't approve of my clothing so i went through my wardrobe last minute like. oh ya she walked in on me wrapping her presents, that was not cool. that's ok she asked for the one present(7a promark drumsticks/nylon tip-5 sets in oak) she got alittle somthing extra too- a strap for the bottom of her favorite snare. a good one. and some brian seltzer cd's and a nirvana tee shirt. i was hoping to go to a play or something but i guess we can do that later. it was the elephant bar and brendon theater to watch 30 Minutes Or Less. that movie was pretty good. her freindAllen Lenoy came with us and we all had an over-indulgent evening. i got one pic of her in the movie theate. i swear i bought this video camera to take her pictures and she is ascared of gettin' her picture taken. some one should exp;lain that SHOOTING apic or getting your photo SHOT doesn't mean there are bullets involved, LOL. i was still full in the morning. it's a good thing,cause i forgot my takehome.bought the strawberry cheese cake from nations. her dad left it at home so i didn't get any. oh well not on my diet anyway!

september 11 2011...ten years later
it has been ten years since 9/11/2001. it is weird to think about that day. it was so scary. at first it was like, i thought it was a movie. you know made up stuff. then it hit me that THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING. i remeber thinking what's going to happen next. i didn't have a car and there were questions as to where to go.. i have places that i would rather be than right next to D.O.D. or any major population centers, like San Fransisco or Sacremento. the obvious reasons they are major targets and when it all goes to hell what is it really gonna be like? i am glad that there weren't any other strikes but that day and everyday for at least a week i kept wondering what was gonna happen next. it is just plain stupid to think that osama didn't know what would happen to those buildings and at the pentagon. after all he was an engineer and quite an educated man. i'm sure that he had factored in the heat levels and weight computations vs. structural integrity. i'm just sayin i dont think it was an accident that those buildings collapsed. i also believe that one of the reasons our economy is in as bad of shape as it is is because of all the business that was disrupted because of the attack. i'm not letting enron and bernie madoff out of the fire either. greed and corruption have devistated this country. that and mismanagement. a freind of mine did an audit on the armed forces and there was a two billion dollar discrepency. i was like totally taken aback. i asked her if she was scared while she was doing the audit. she was so unaffected by it, i was amazed. i mean i don't think i'm paranoid but people have died for a lot less, and that's a lot a hambuger, if yoiu get my drift! anyway i don't believe that was ever resolved but no one died or got busted from the audit. she is now a comfortable retiree. So onward and upward!..God bless our troops and those that lost their lives in the attack, the firemen that bravely served and gave their lives unquestioningly.and also all the families that have had to go on without their loved ones .love peace and freedom to you all!

this just out- THE MARTINEZ BEE IS BACK!!!
that's right folks full force in color and everything. i know i said i'ld have a link to the web-site but as things turned out i didn't get to Martinez today,SORRY! i did get on down to marcus little hole in the wall and on over to walgreens and THE GROCERY OUTLET. GROCERY OUTLET's owner manager DAWN was gracious enough to ask to see the latest copy of the bee and is considering advertising in it! That IS good news! i will be on a mission on thursday to drum up partners for getting us back up and running as they will be fumigating my place for termites. yep that's right those little flying ants that turn our beautiful wooden furniture into sawdust. i saw a few of them when i moved into this place. they seemed to be coming from the bathroom ceiling fan. but i haven't seen any lately. i am glad that the landlord is getting right on this though, i have a lot of wooden furniture and really like the roof to stay where it is, ya know?
anyway i've been trying to tweet from my laptop but for some reason i'm not having any luck getting my account up and running. i guess i'm doomed to do facebook and my little one horse blog. o well, it's a venue. at least my mom reads it,lol. mabe someday i'll have two or three readers. can't blame a girl for dreamin'....

this just out..into
this stuff is a bit confusing as i'm a computer illiterate. i just wrote up a cute little intro and short blog and it just dissappeared. wow all that creativity down the etherial drain..damn! anyway what i was saying is won't you come along for a moment on my adventures to where ever. please be patient and i will surely become frustrated and that could be quite amusing. any and all feedback is required , requested and accepted. yup that's how it is here. hope this is both theraputic and enterrtaining as i travel on to the store, to the LAUNDROMAT and other inconspicuous places that seem to make up my fairly ordinary but not so n ormal life. or mabe it is normal but not ordinary, mabe it's both normal and ordinary i just don't know?? my goal here is to have some fun while expressing myself in a healthy and inspiring way. i hope that this works , a lot of the stuff i try to do just seems to go up like plastic explosives in an over the top electrical storm. i'am hoping this will turn out better, ya know?
