Hard Times

 Ah the joys of nature, of the wild...Nature is so beautiful and picturesque. All the animals just running about playing and having a good time right? At least that's what you've been told, lead to believe, right? So those stories or those cartoons where the animals are like gangs or just mean must be just made up? Pure fiction, right? WRONG! They are true! Some of us animals are just plain mean! So mean it would make you humans blush, smh...

Don't believe me? Ok well this is a picture of me last year



Don't I look cute? But even more than that, don't I look happy, care-free? Not a care or a worry in the world. Ahh, those were the days. I didn't realize how good I had it Roaming freely, playing with friends, chilling by the lake. Eating and drinking  - you know ust living the dream. Well, that dream became a nightmare when THEY showed up UGH.  Some new kids moved in and yeah ok at first it was fun. They were the cool ones - had been on the otherside of the lake. Boasted about seeing the world - afterall they'd BEEN TO THE OTHERSIDE OF THE LAKE!! Oh and they regularly played dodge-car-truck/SUV/bus(I never played that)...So when they let me join their group, I was geeked!

One day they said we were playing a new game. They called it HIDE-N-GO GET IT. One of them would go hide a big green apple. Whoever found got to eat it! Yummy! So Big Buck goes off to hide the  coveted treat, comes back and whispers "hide-n-go get it'. No one moves. Then he yells it and off we went! Running and looking for the big apple. Suddenly, I realized I was all alone.Where did everyone go? Why'd they stop looking? Didn't they want the apple? Maybe they were full? Allergic? Or maybe they were just being nice to the new guy? Awww

And then I heard a sound - one that will stay with me forever - however long that is. CRACK! Soooo lound that I froze. Looked but didn't see anyone or anything. Then BOOM! That's when I felt this pain, strong and throbbin. I wanted to run but I was frozen. What happened? Why? Who?Then I remembered a story my DeerPa told me about tools that sounded really loud and would stop you cold. And I was definitely, stopped cold. Right here, just like this.

Moral of the story - don't believe those stories about all animals playing and roming through the forest. Some of them, those animals are just plain mean! Old Buck set me up. Why, who knows! I no I don't. 

Well if you'll excuse me, I'm gong to go back to pretending to be ahem UNALIVE so I ca jump ad run when these people, the ones with the BOOM tools least expect it!

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
