Thursday Thirteen things I'm grateful for!
1)I'm grateful that even though I draw sad old ladies, I'm not one!
2) I'm grateful that I got to have dinner out with my goddess girlfriends, with the food being even more tasty than usual!3) I'm grateful that I got a brand new free printer from my brother, he won it and has one already! I'm extremely hopeful it will work the way I need it to!
4) I'm grateful that I got invited to a Halloween party with a live band and limo rides to a haunted house, because I LOVE HALLOWEEN and feel in the mood for it this year!
5) I'm grateful that it's been good weather so I haven't had to put my heat on much.
6) I'm glad that it's Fall my favorite time of the year. Soon the leaves will be turning beautiful colors!
8) I'm grateful my friend Shelley Hrdlitschka's eighth book, Sister Wife, is out, yet not officially launched.

Thursday Thirteen various art forms!
He was at a festival in August. He agreed to let me post him as long as is was nice!
to commemorate a first appearance there years ago!
Anyone recognize this artist or know the name?
Hidden tattoos with vivid ink and well thought out images were shared by a young store clerk. I complimented her stretched ears and jewelry, an older co worker volunteered proudly that she had many marks all over her body! We discussed it in detail. I was about to leave the store, then returned for a photo . She was sweet enough to oblige me. I regret not getting a photo of her pretty face and piercings! It's all interesting art to be enjoyed at our own discretion!
A beautiful planter of flowers!Florists can make a beautiful bouquet rich with matching colors,
or they can mix it up so bad that its most distasteful!
All of these cans of food will be donated to the food bank when the exhibition ends!

Thursday Thirteen #5 Creatiing a nice enviroment
One, Never walk through a closed door without first knocking and waiting for a reply.
Two, Clean up your own messes as you go, don’t make a huge mess while cooking dinner and expect someone else to clean it up, it builds resentment.
Three, Respect is a two way street, one begets the other.
Four, Take turns doing chores, but if ones person is gifted over the other and enjoys doing a particular chore, let them take it on. Work out what suits each person best, life flows better and some are quicker at one job over an other. It can free everyone up for fun!
Five, Teach thoughtfulness and equality in your home by always being fair.
Six ,Never yell, if you have a problem talk it out. If you can’t resolve it, sleep on it then revisit it.
Seven, Never excuse mean behavior in your home. Treat people in your home with kindness and dignity even if you feel angry.
Eight. always be sure your home is a soft place to fall, everyone should want to come home. Who wants to step into a place where a hundred demands await!
Nine. Greet people who enter your home with joy in your voice! But give them space in case they need time to collect their thoughts before they talk about their day.
Ten, Make time for peace in your home, where you can just create or veg out. Make it conducive to creativity, joy and laughter.
Eleven, Know your limits, how much you can accomplish in a day, try not to be unreasonable with yourself or others. ( This one took me years)
Twelve, Actively connect with at least one family member daily by having an intimate conversation.It helps those you live with feel loved and important, it feeds your soul too!
Thirteen, make sure to do at least one nice thing a day for the people you live with, ( of course mothers usually do more), showing and expecting kindness is nonnegotiable.

Thursday Thirteen "Rants"

Thursday Thirteen things to RANT about! ; Let me caution you this sounds like PMS, Menopause and residual past pent up anger all wrapped into one!
Anything on television pertaining to abused animals…anything at all. Oprah started to discuss puppy mills, as soon as I heard the word, I immediately flicked it OFF. That evening at dinner my eleven year old nephew proceeded to give me a play by play of what they do to the dogs. I begged him to stop! Warning him with my stern look,the one that means “ SHUT UP OR I'll SIT ON YOU”! Well at least that's what it meant when Pepper was little! He got it, but not before he said one thing that I can’t get out of my mind! I hate that so much!
Anything about abused kids makes me crazy too! One News station kept flashing over and over photos from a filthy disgusting pigs sty of a house that a one year old was finally rescued from! I couldn’t watch, Click, off it went! It’s insane the crap we’re fed over and over. I often listen while I toodle around in the kitchen. But who wants to watch or hear about a child suffering over and over again?…WHAT IS THE POINT I ASK!!! To totally desensitize the youth of North America! Hearing it just once embeds it in my heart!
All the young starlets that are picked on by paparazzi drives me insane too!! Leave them alone for cripes sake! Especially BACK OFF their children, they didn’t ask to be born into celebrity! Or to have cracked out parents either! How sad is this I ask! Way too friggin sad!
Then there is one little sweetie who has a wonderful artistic photo taken with her dad. A symbol of an innocent loving relationship! But people who’ve never experienced a good loving father daughter relationship are holding it up to scrutiny!! MY GOD has the COUNTRY GONE TOTALLY INSANE! My brother and my niece have the same kind of relationship; So did I with my dad! An innocent loving daddy relationship until the day he died. I could sit on his knee and cuddle even after I was married, not a soul thought it was odd, and many were jealous! Shame shame I say to those daring to judge something so precious and pure!
People who tend to complain about the same things over and over and never do a thing about it! That’s the definition of insanity! When they expect different results! Fix it already! Change your mind change your life!
People who refuse to be courteous drivers, the ones who never let you in when you signal for blocks!!! So darn frustrating and dangerous too! They need a spankin!
The blond haired bimbo on “The View” GET SOME LIFE EXPERIENCE WILL YA!….that’s all I have to say about that! Then quack all you want after that! Serve up that humble pie for that other one who always thought she knew it all!!! Welcome to the world of divorce. At least some of us attempted a longer kick at the can! Enjoy I say ENJOY the bite in the ass!
Those who complain about children and animals being too loud when they are in communal living situation! If you don’t like it, move somewhere quieter. When people live in close proximity there is bound to be some noise. Get over it! But If you hear abuse for heaven sake call 911!
I am so sick and tired of hearing on the News about another woman killed by her husband. Or father killing his kids!!! Do people seriously think women are lying when they say they THINK their husband might kill them. Or when they say they think he may kill the kids!!! BELIEVE THEM PEOPLE!!! BELIEVE THEM!! It probably took every bit of gumption to finally share their fears and yet it seems to fall on deaf ears! This is 2008 you’d think authorities could get that one right!
Okay I have read cult books since I was seventeen years old!! Why had they not done anything about that stupid polygamist cult sooner! That’s what it is, A CULT! Personally I don’t care if those men sleep with a hundred women and make them wash their smelly socks AND UNDERWEAR! But when you are a pedophile under the guise of religion, you need a butt kickin! When you use young boys as slave labor and young girls as baby makers, well I can’t even tell you how hot that makes me! It's NUTS I tell ya NUTS!
Why Is it that woman in power are always ostracized? It seems to always be that way! You’ve all read or heard this before. When a woman runs a company with authority she’s a bitch, but if a guy does it he’s great manager. That needs to change! Can you think of a powerful woman in your personal life that you detest?
Things that break down after owning them a short time!! Let's hold the manufacturers accountable for selling inferior products! Also why does everything have to be open so late... Close it down people...do we really need to shop until midnight most evenings! Can we not fit it in before then! Let's have a " TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS IN TOWN" campaign! The little guy trudges along trying to make a difference with his little green footprint, while big business burns brighter lights!
The very last rant....in a very long line of rants!..."MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!!!!" has been a bumper sticker on my car for years! They really do and " Big mean people make little mean people" another one also on my car!
So let's all have a happy Thursday Thirteen! Sorry if I riled anyone, but oh well, I feel better...tee hee!
