I made soup!

I made this up, and it was pretty tasty, so let me write it down before I forget it.  =)  This was super easy, and super customizable.  Just chop it up and toss it in.  The amounts don't even matter.  My kind of recipe, since directions harrow my soul.

Brain expulsion

My brain is a jumble.  Let me clear it.

While I don't feel bad that I hate my cat, I feel bad admitting that I hate my cat.

I haven't got this kiln to work yet.  And until I get it to work, I don't want to start any new pieces for fear of them sitting around for an undetermined amount of time in a fragile greenware state.

I want to play roller derby.  I want more tattoos.  I want to have a tea party.  I want a rose garden.  I want to move.  I want to travel.  I want to know if my hair is turning gray yet.  I want to enjoy cooking & eating healthfully.  I want to not gag on cold salads.  I want some friends again.

I need to remind myself that I should have plenty of time to make most of these things happen, but I just do not work that way.  All these things circle me and scream at me.

Last, but not least, I wholly endorse the Springpad app/website.  It is very helpful when you have an insane amount of important things you want to remember to do.  Like make alien terrariums.

I WANT A ZOMBIE FRIEND.

Okay, I have known about this site since 1997 or so.  And have desperately wanted one ever since.  I am pretty sure these used to retail for like $1200 or so, because it was soooooo far out of my price range.

Or maybe they ALWAYS cost $500, but back then $500 seemed more like $1200.  Know what I mean?

Anyway, one day some random wonderful person will make this happen for me.  I love you in advance.

I have a big heart.  I can love two of them.

Spoiler: everybody lives

Fair warning: heavy family crap.  No promises as to this being the least bit interesting.

I act like a rock, but I am not one.  Well, maybe one of those "fool's gold" rocks that flakes apart.

Scary tentacle man update

UPDATE:  I refined it a bit, and am slowly drying it so that I can hollow it out.  Here's a couple more:

Another year, another diet.

Which one, this time?  The P.I.N.K. Method.  I am making Justin do it, too.  He'll sneak food, so don't worry about him not getting enough calories.

Today is day 1 of a 14 day "reset" where you eat 4 ounces of lean protein 3 times a day, and nothing else but vegetables.  Exciting, right?

Oh well, can't hurt, in any event.  The only annoyance is that it's not really enough calories to support much (any) exercise.  But I guess I can put my daily 7 mile run on pause.  (teehee)

Hippie Shit & Roller Derby

So I am reading this book, "The Power of Now." I am only up to chapter 3. There is a lot of mumbojumbo, and I am having a hard time sticking with it, but I'm committed. I like the idea of it, even if I can't get over the vision of the author wearing lots of beads and flowy clothes. And burning a lot of incense.

Obviously, I don't have much to report yet, but so far, it points out to separate "you" from your ever-chattering mind. To observe your thought processes as an outside entity... sort of interesting. "Negativity" counts as mind-chatter, and you are encouraged to quickly note a sudden turn of misery or moodiness. As a bystander, it's a little easier to get to the root of things. I realize that made no sense, but like I said, I only read 2 chapters. Maybe my beads and flowy clothes still need to be earned.
