Cliques

In life one thing I never carried for is cliques’

During blog hoping I came across blogs that say “Welcome to my blog and if you aren’t in a certain __________your not welcome here.”
Confession time....For some reason I came across a blog that was anti United Nation and Pro
Israel. My first reaction not reading the blog was this person who does this blog must be a real Bush supporter and far right Christen Evangelical
During that blog hoping when I came across this blog it could of been not kept up to date and I just by pass them

I’ve never claim a religion I do believe in the “golden rule” or “warm none”
I don’t claim any political party I do vote and try to vote for the person who I believe will do the best job.
Even if the person I vote for don’t get in. I still comminute to the one who do get in there working for all of us including me.

I know of two up coming events and if you know more in the blogger world let me know

Boo Mama is hosting Christmas tour of homes I like to see a lot people show their different holiday decorations.
Even if you celebrate Hanukkah, Yule, Christmas , or Kwanza. By some chance you do all four of them.
I bet people in blogger world would love to see and read about it.
Boo Mama did the tour of homes and I believe Boo didn’t have any control over this. One blogger post during the tour of homes.
Some other bloggers made some uncalled comments about her belief.
I don’t see the Christmas tour of homes is limited to any certain cliques.

Over at Mama Moon she has a posting about Global Organism day For more info on Click here
I don’t think it mater what clique you belong to or not belong to be part of this.

I know a blogger can’t list every tootin blogger in world on their sidebar. statement...I won’t put my coffee pals in cliques’

An Edit up date: I didn't do Boo Mama home of tours simple because I didn't have a camera.
Honest time...I like to see other then clique Christen to take part in Boo Mama Christmas tour
I know there other then the Christen that celebrates the holiday it may or not be December 25th.
I saw nothing in Boo Mama saying Christen Only or limited to any certain group.

7. Ron and Kelly Anther Happy Ordinary family and with great picture. Living on East Coast

Since it holidays are fast approaching us over at Tinkerbell she has 13 things about Saint Nicholas or Sinterklaas is an old Dutch holiday celebrate December 5th

This is my final word count. The number of words I type since the first part of November is 13, 892
My goal was 15,000 and I’m short by 1108

Fat, It's My Own Fault

I’m up to 12,863 word as of yesterday.

Yesterday I couldn’t fine the picture of Pleasant Valley and Brown Creek. Guess I did find it somehow I didn’t put it where it should of go, in my pictures

Recently I been thinking how fat and unhealthy my lifestyle been. confession time...It’s all my doing by the choices I make.
I think I have it under control but some reason I slip back into my bad habits of unhealthy life style and I always meaning or want to change my yucky habits

Every 15th time I go to curves I’m going to buy me some Jewelry. I go so sporadic because I just can’t get into the routine of it.
Confession time...My parents was into planing and routine. I sometime just want to do things at spur of the moment
I even said for every 5 area of reduction I would get my self a little something off of e-bay other then food.
Honest time...It doesn’t mater what I do I use food as a reward or something to comfort me by

I know one thing I drink to much coffee. I like my coffee and my visit with Murphy. I keep promising my self that I just have one cup in the morning and that’s it.
So I can drink more water and keep the toxin flushed out of my body. I’m better at drinking water then what I was before.
Statement time...I need to increase my water intake

I only eat lunch on a regular bases. I know if I ate lunch it would refuel me and give me energy.
When I don’t do lunch sometime around 2 or later in afternoon. I start raiding the fridge and cabinets. Eating non stop til dinner and majority of the time I don’t eat junk

Exercise I real don’t mine doing but for some reason I can’t get into a routine of it. I know Butch likes going for walks and there is plenty of places to walk around here. I know lot people would like to walk in the rural areas. Like I’m so lucky to have.

I’m a member of curves and it would be so simple for me to go in before work and I don’t.

I could use the holiday for an excuse but I have these unhealthy habits not just at the holidays, but all year.
I haven’t even start any holiday baking yet

Yesterday I went into down town Bonners Ferry which is 2 blocks by 2 blocks big. Went into the Shamrock gift place and bought and Christmas Ornament for my Ornament exchange partner Vickie I’ll need to stop in at post office and have it weight which won’t take long and have it on it way to Oklahoma.

Package to England

12,540 is how many words I’ve type for the month of November and my goal was 15,000 and in reality I ain’t going to make it

First things first. It getting bitter cold below zero. I’ve been trying to fine my cat ziggy but he is one to disappear and shows up when every he feel liked.
I know this cold is hard on everything and I’d like to bring Ziggy in for the night

I got my package for my stocking exchange present sent off to Rowen who lives in England and the post office said it should take 10 days to two weeks to get there.
confession time...I had a blast shopping around Bonners Ferry little shops and one item came from our local holiday faire and Market which is put on by the local farmers market here

I was going to put a picture here but I couldn’t fine the one that I want it.

I’ve been amaze at the highway picture down the buttom of Pleasant Valley loop and cross the highway is Brown Creek.
I’ve been amazed by the beauty of highway going up Hill toward Bonners Ferry.

But actual I went to Naples which is 3 miles south of me to mail my package. Everytime I go in Naples General Store. I feel like I just step back in time.
It still an operating Mom and Pop business.
If you every watch shows like the Waltons or Little House on Prairie the Naples General Store looks like the stores in televison show.
In little corner of the store they have a post office with one person running it and she seems so friendly and can get some one on one service.
I rather deal with the Naples Post Office not saying that one in Bonners Ferry is bad.

Happy Birthday My Love

Snowed and covered the ground with a white blank it. Murphy this morning ran the snow blower and both boys used shovels to clear the steps and place the snow blower wouldn’t go.
I didn’t go and measure the snow but in guess I’d say we have a foot of snow here

.

No school here today

We had an old Christmas Present that I was going to give to Murphy Step Sister Daughter and they never showed up last year to the family Christmas Eve dinner.
So I unwrapped the present and gave a blow up sleigh to Patty.
We got a blown up and Callie had a foot air pump but to me it was easier to use as if you was given someone C.P.R doing breast pushes.
I’m thankful none of us had to huff and puff to get the sleigh inflated.

I thought since I had 4 straight days off that my client house would be a total trashed out but it was far from that.
If she doesn’t have Doug hanging around the place and company such as he is. Doug is a couch lizard and is a person who lives in squander conditions.

So her and I went up to Hooten Hallow and looked at 91 Ford Taurus and a nice car well taken care of.
They want a $1,000 for it.

Now since the snow dump I feel that we need to go out on our place and cut down a Christmas Tree.
I was worried how I was going to do because Bart pick-up brakes had problems such as Sawyer put on his brake lines wrong. All is well with Barts’ Pickup.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MURPHY AND I”M SO GLAD THAT I MARRIED YOU

Writing Spirit

I'm up to 12,088 words.

Writing Spirit by Lynn Andrews.
I was excepting a book on how to be a better writer so I can become a better blogger. I was hoping for some writing exercise. They do have a few at the end of the book.
I felt this didn't offer me anything for writing at this time

I found this book offered me more of spiritual awareness. It talks about different paths that one or may or may take or built for one self

Lines from the Gardenia Center in their Sunday Service program

1. Through gratitude my hearts learns how to sing!
2. Gratitude is my pathway home
3. Gratitude teaches me love
4. Sing praise and gratitude unto the most high
5. I'm thankful you are here.
6. Think Gratitude

I may or may not gain insight for developing writing knowledge by this book. I'm thankful for seeing anther side of personal spiritual awareness.

I give this book a C+

Some Days I Just Want to Bang My Head Apon the Key Board

As of yesterday my word count is up to 11,654 . Recently I’ve been having trouble what to blog about.

Since I changed my template to holiday I’m having trouble getting my site meter to appear. Oh I’m not even to the head banging against the desk yet. But it seems to take it sweet ole time doing it thing. On the buttom of computer it says “ Transferring data from Neo Counter”.
A little later in the day and still no Neo Counter on my blog. They asked me if I want to have trail subscription for an up grade and of carouse I said “yes” and should knew better and live well enough a lone.
I also tried to reinstall babel fish and it had the same results.
But here the kicker I checked my blogger using internet explore and babel showed up briefly and it ran away and hided some where.
I usual use firefox for my browser and some reason I can’t get babel or my neo counter to pop in.
Is anyone seeing those two things on my blog?

My youngest one Bart is in piss ass mood. His brake line to his pick up is leaking and he thinks someone should go out and help him because he made a request.
I only wish every time I made a request that it would be in acted in less then one minute. If everything I request for got action in 5 minutes I’d be jumping for joy.
The world don’t spin that way, not at all

I went to town with Murphy as he was getting a hair cut at the barber I finished up my stocking exchange present and I’ll be mailing it Monday.
Opps I forgot I need to get one more item a newspaper, “Oh I had slip of tongue” I don’t know anything else to send to tell about our community.
I guess one slip didn’t let the cat out of the bag completely

To east of were I live is some gnarly clouds and their predicting bunch of snow in the mountains and 3 to 5 inches in the valley.
More in the Mountain.
Looks like Thursday it will be to cold to snow. Spokane for low will be 2 and I’ll guess we here in Northern Idaho will be below 0

Not sure what it may or may not be. Bart calls it his “ghost sighting” Honest time...I find it mystifying what every it may be

Thanksgiving stuff is resting up for 2007

As of yesterday I’m up to 11,520 words on my great blogger novel. Gee I hope I haven’t got you laughing to hard

We stayed home and arranged our living room differently so I can put up our Christmas tree and took down the few Thanksgiving decoration.
I’m not one to go into the retail stores and start my holiday shopping on black Friday. What I see on Television news and how people acts. Honest time..It scares me to see people push and shoving for some item. I guess I’m just not that greedy.
My friend Alice makes Jellies and Jams and sells them about and I bought 2 jars.

If you haven’t notice I change my template to a holiday theme but I need to finish it off.

Thanksgiving 2006

This Thanksgiving was the less stressful for me. I can’t say everything went smoothly.
We got a small Turkey as the turkey was in the oven baking and we forgot about it and suddenly had to put the rest of the dinner together.
But of carouse I forgot to open the can of cranberries “Yes, I know Thanksgiving dinner isn’t complete with cranberries” The only honest excuse I can come up with “That’s how the cookie crumbles”
Plus I was going to make scalped corn with oysters and same thing happen here as the cranberries.
No big we forgot part of the dinner and I enjoyed my time in Kitchen with Murphy

Sawyer worked today and as the 3 of us was finishing up Sawyer drove in we could of wait a little bit.
But with our luck if we didn’t set down for dinner, Sawyer would of been up shoveling snow still

I had Bart try to take a picture of Murphy and I but it didn’t come out

I bought two pies. First year every. Lot easier then making them.Confession time...I feel slightly guilty buying pies that I could easily make

Every year I do a new recipe for Thanksgiving and in the co-op newspaper they had a snicker bar salad. My Aunt Eve makes one also but I’m not sure what one she does

Snicker bar salad

6 full size snicker candy bars.
1 (8oz) jar of marshmallow cream
6 Granny Apples
8 oz of room temp cream cheese
12 oz of cool whip
1. Cut your snicker bar and apples into bite size pieces
2. Cover and sit aside.
3. In large mixing bowl mix together cream cheese, marshmallow fluff and whip cream until smooth and creamy. If the cream cheese isn’t add room temp it will be lumpy.
4. Fold in snicker bar and apples
5. Garnish with Cherries if you like.

On a personal note. I would use what every apples that are viable. I used a 8 oz of cool whip and only 4 apples and 4 snicker bars.
But I think a person could change the ingredients to their liking.
I’m thinking of three musketeer bar, apples, pecan, and grapes.

The evidence of Thanksgiving dinner.

I could list of things that I’m Thankful for... “.I’m thankful for you stopping by and visiting me at my blog and the moment now”

Thirteen Thursday #14

As of yesterday my word count is up to 10,616

In blog hoping for my thirteen Thursday. I decide to blog hop though blog hub what I like about this blog search engine is that you can search by location and subject.
As I blog hop with blog hub I’m taking the last page and last link to be part of my thirteen Thursday. Unless they haven’t keep their blogg up to date and I’ll quickly find anthers

1. Netherlands. In all honesty I’m clueless. I hope I didn’t post something rate x blog. Once in while I’ll put a strong R in my blog but it’s rare.

2. England This looks like mainly a blogger for garden lovers and little extra thrown in. Non of her posting looks real long but light hearted and I’m thinking of adding her to my coffee pals

3. Ontario This blog as I looked over and glance it written from ordinary human pretty light heart stuff. Don’t see any real heavy stuff and I think over 90% of population can relate to this one

4 South Dakota Not sure on South Dakota politics at all or how this one site my stand.
I personal don’t care to read or have politics 24-7 in my life or any one subject. For those who are interested. In a political blog stop and check it out

5. Australia This one I put in the word “apple” and search in Australia and I end up at isango. I’m total clueless what apple and Australia has to do with each other

6. Maine it looks like a fun and light heart blog.
As I said before I don’t care for people who are stuck in the mud. On her sidebar she has “Post Secret” which I’m somewhat filmier with

7. Canada I used the word “Bear” and this blog is listed as the last one on bloghub. I would say after reading her blog after her writing it put a smirk on my face on the 20th of November she compared Mary Kay recruitment session as a cult.
In all honesty I never thought of it that way.

8. Alaska I put in word Alaska with United States and guess what Hanni doesn’t live in Alaska but in Texas...go figure.
In one word I’d use the word “light” for her blog

9. North Carolina This one different not strange but different.
Russian speaking community of North Carolina. The purpose of this site is to provide to all interested some general information about the state. If you are interesred in Russian food that can be purchased in North Carolina via European grocery stores, you are in the right place. Other information, such as sightseeing and North Carolina vacation destinations may also be located in this site. Information about Russian TV via Dish Network and DirecTV, phone cards to Russia, Europe, South America and other usefull stuff.
Russian North Carolina also provides a means of communication for all Russian speaking residents of the state....Yes I did copy and paste their welcome. Didn’t know how to explain this one

10. New York She from Texas and now living in New York City. A new adventure for this once Texan girl and now you can visit her blog and her adventure in the big Apple

11. Canada Not sure if she actual lives in Canada or not. But this blog I find not boring at all.
On the buttom of her posting I find the symbols interesting but not sure what they even mean.
I’m considering adding her to my coffee pals

12. Ireland I don’t know why I never thought of looking to blog hop threw Ireland.
Honest time...I’ve always picture Irish people with friendly and happy people but I was wrong they’re like any other people some are a not friendly or happy people like any were else
But I did find a blog in Ireland Sweet life of Ireland I’d strongly recommend stopping by for some treats that will make your mouth water and eyes sparkle

13. United States Went to page 406 in the bloghub and it seam someone want to sell you something. I’m not fan of x rated stuff or even a strong R rating and medium R is ok.
So I had to go back a page and I found Bittersweet. Ok what got me on the blog is the bird “JayHawks” I’m clueless who the Jay Hawks are but Confession time...It’s on tip of my tongue but I just can’t spit it out. One of my coffee pal got a bird or pretty tootin close on her blog
Looks like this blog is kept on regular base

I was going to publish this the 30th of November but it got done earlier then what I thought. Blog hoping was pretty easy this time going with bloghub. Thursday the 23 it plain and simple I’ll blog about Thanksgiving

Traveling Meme

10,616 words I’ve type starting the first part of November. That was as earlier today

A little while ago I posted about Becky died of Cancer and our local paper got her obituary in

Now for the main thing of today blog and sure hope it goes as I plan or I explain it right.
I’m starting a meme that you add a question to.
When you come across this blog copy and paste it and answer all the questions, but before you publish it add one of your question to it.

If this blog comes by you more then once. Copy and paste the question in and if you already answered the question you can put “ I’ve already answered this one” but if you feel like it you may answer it again or you may have a different answer.
But once you come to spot that you have done. Go ahead and answer the rest of the meme.
No rate X question or even strong R

Please let me know if you do this meme and I’ll come over and read your meme. So who is up for adding question 2 and so forth

1. What is your favorite sandwich? Peanut butter and Jelly or honey

Sweets, I Just Can't Help My Self

Now my word account is up to 10,415 as of yesterday.

Famous last words “I’m not going to do any sweet for the holidays” and guess what I did “I sign up to bring a sweet treat to Gardenia Christmas party the 16th of December” I even plan to add some sweet treats in my stocking that I”ll be send for my stocking exchange

Murphy and I ran into town this morning to get Thanksgiving dinner. At first I felt a little sad it was just going to be the 3 of us. At this point I’m not sure if Sawyer will be working or what shift.
The more I think about it a super small Thanksgiving dinner looks more and more simple and lot less stress.
Now I’m even thinking of buying pies this year. Sawyer wants Strawberry Rhubarb and Bart want some type of Cheese Cake.
I know I can’t get the stuff to make a strawberry and rhubarb pie. I’ve made pumpkin cheese cakes before and what is Thanksgiving with out pumpkin Pie

I’ve been thinking of starting a meme called “The floating question meme” Right now I don’t have time need to get ready for work”

Up Two On Meme

Got More out of Moving Ceramic Molds

As of yesterday my word account is up to 8735 words

Well as most Sunday I went to the Sunday Service at the Gardenia Center and today service I thought it was to deep and long. The speaker only brought up a couple of things that I got any thing out of it
which is twelve step. Which they use in recovery programs and has great , “now what is the word I’m looking for” I guess I’ll use the phase “Great inter life lessons”

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Not others
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Became entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Other twelve-step groups have modified the twelve steps slightly from those of Alcoholics Anonymous to refer to problems other than alcoholism.
The words that are underline my be replace with your own deity and on # 4 I add “Not Others”
We all can benefit from such words.
Honest time....I only got 10% out of the lecture and I felt I never grew or became aware of very little spiritaul

In Peace We Meet In Love we have our Existence

I add babel fish to my side bar and just click on little flag and it will interpret your site in a different language. I got this off of Kathleen over at stranded in the mountain

I don’t know if I said anything put we are having a natural gas furnace put in our home. We clean out our basement of ceramic molds. We couldn’t stack them all out in barn/shed . So we stacked the rest in one corner of the basement and of carouse it was right in place they needed to be.
So one day Murphy moved all the molds over to the other side.
The guys with be back Monday the 20th of November and before they left they showed us were to put the molds at.
So once again we moved ceramic molds. Nothing like a work out, it’s just like lifting weights.
Confession time...As I was moving molds I ran across part of my “NOEL” train which is a candle holder and I thought how I’d like to paint that piece

The Farmers Market Craft Show

As I type my blogger novel of this uneventful life of mine. Which I’m quite thankful for. I a least don’t have bunch law enforcement people sitting in my yard.
I have to say the other night less then a week. My son Bart said bunch of county deputies drove down to the end of the road and possible grabbed our neighbor . I haven’t heard our neighbor cussing up a blue storm out in middle of his yard. It been real quite down at the end of the road and he hasn’t drove by. We live in a super quite neighbor hood only 4 homes on our road which is about a ½ mile long.
I know he was driving around to the bars with no driver lisason and other places. Plus some while ago he told his closer neighbor that he ought to kill his wife.
Well my blogger novel is up to 8296 words as of yesterday.

Murphy placed back brakes on the Nova. Murphy isn’t the best mechanic it takes him every in a day. He has trouble figuring out shapes and how things go together.
I did some laundry and I bet that sounds so exciting. I did load of whites and with whites their usual socks and I got them folded and put away. The socks with out a buddy sock goes in the non partner socks.
Then I have towels and jeans to fold and put away which isn’t all that bad

I had Bart drive me to the local farmer Market Craft show in Bonners Ferry which was held at local Junior high school.
I never counted how many exhibitors where there and I was going to. And a wild guess for exhibitors was about 60.
I wish I had a little more to spend their but we got some smaller bills to pay. Plus I loan Sawyer 60 bucks to get to work I know he good for the money. He always paid his debt.
I real liked the old world santa but I didn’t want to even look at the price knowing at this time it was out of the question.
I never notice any giraffes there either but in all honesty I forgot to look. I collect giraffes and they’re hard to fine.
Plus their was a some other things I saw I’d like to bought but can’t now.
I bought two items to put in my stocking exchange gift. I’m keeping everything local for the stocking exchange and we have no wal mart here so that means I won’t buy anything from walmart.

Wisdom Teeth

My novel is up to 7,821 words as of yesterday and I’m think of getting right around 15,000 words by the end of the month. In this novel writing contest I’ve just been copying and pasting part of my blog in.

As for my blog hoping it took to much time going threw nanowrimo
I found a site called blog hub and listed my blogger with them. Because you can search for other blogs by geographical location. A good chance I’ll be try to blog hop by geographical location using blog hub.
I add a counter using Neo Counter I also add blog patrol and which I can’t get to work right.
I’ll need one of my boys to see if they can figure it out. I know it has something to do with cookies

Today Murphy and I took Sawyer to oral surgeon to have his Wisdom teeth . As of last night I start to baby Sawyer and Murphy said ”You just couldn’t wait to baby him one more time, could you? in all honesty I’ve been baby him most of the day. Buy him special food Clam chowder and got him some western family protein drink, like ensure.
As we drove home he was quite funny. He kept asking about stopping at Arby’s and years ago he wasn’t all that much a fan of Arby’s.
He decide he was so hungry and want some fries. So we stop at McDonald and as we walking pass the glass window with the golden ‘M” arches painted and Sawyer says “where are we”.
Well he ate two fries and couldn’t handle it.
Staggered out to car and we went home. Been sleeping of and on most of the day.

I got my e-mail from Peggy over at Hidden Haven Home Stead. I’m so excited that I might just pick up something form our little local craft show here in Bonners Ferry. I decide or going to try super hard to buy things from our local town, you see Bonners Ferry got less then 3,000 people.

Over at Boomama will be hosting a Christmas tour of home.
I saw all the homes that was listed and boy my home didn’t come close to any of them. Oh that remind me of something as I was sitting in waiting room I was read a Martha Stewart Confession time..I’m a Martha Stewart Fan magazine and showed her Thanksgiving table out in the barn with her horses and her barn was bigger and fancier then my home

Edit note: I don’t know what happen to one other picture I took of Sawyer. I’ll find it and get in tomrow. Sorry the picture is so blurr of him in recovery

Thirteen Thursday #13

I decide to do my blog hoping different this time I’ve been working on my famous novel and as of yesterday I’m up to 7119 words.
As recently I’ve been blog hoping my my side bar. I’ve been part of Nanowrimo and I decide to take my coffee pals and where every their from and see who or what I can fine thru Nanowrimo

1. Idaho Not sure of anything on this blog. But to visit different blogs

2. Alberta Florence actual may have some of her own books already published. If you want to read part of Angelique

4. New Hampshire Looks like some comics and personal writings. His great novel is called Forest of mirrors

5. Washington By quick glance and some of her links I think she into knitting. Confession time...I could be wrong Her novel is called Unknowen place Washington in Seattle area at the time of this typing is leading in word count for nanowrino.

6. New Hampshire At this point it looks like this blogg at this time is about writing for nanowrimo. His novel is called BLOOD a Pirate’s Story

7. California I only looked at her blogg and it doesn’t look like she stuff in mud type of person, which I like. No two of the same hair style I bet. Her novel is called Hez

8. Virginia I think we all at one time in very small percentage of the time made a gripe about the world, “guilty as charge” But their more percentage of great in world. The title to his novel is called untitle

9. Massachuttes people seems or the east coast seem to me to have more culture. This person seams to be quite creative in literature sense.

13. Minnesota Looks like a real book lover. Who can tell who will when this contest.
In all reality I have a snowball chance in hell.
The novel this person is working on is called A Dairy of a Vampire

Honest time...This was one of my hardest blog hoping I’ve done for thirteen thursday
I’m not interest in peddling things I don’t mind a opinion or personal consumer report on product but I don’t have much desire to be a sale person in blogger world.
It seems blogging hoping thru nanowrimo was fairly tuff.
Lot of time blog hoping this way I’d run into some one or company trying to sell me a book or two
But I did find non comerical bloggs.
It seems the novel writer or I should say the serious one don’t keep up on their blogs

Holidays = More Pudgy

As of yesterday my word count is up to 6,517 and in this novel thing everyone should have 50,000 words by the 30th of November. I would say my make believe novel will have about 15,000 words

Butch and I went for short walk to because I didn’t put on warm enough jacket. Anyhow I haven’t done much as for exercise and notice my self getting a little more pudgy around the middle.

I got to corner of our road and took a picture looking back down it. We live on a dead end road I’d say our road is about a half a mile long with only 4 houses.

Then I could go toward the east but I never do because I don’t want to deal with our neighbor dog. I don’t think they do anything I’ve seen people walking by and haven’t heard any gripes about the pooches.
I should try walking that way sometime

As always I went down over the hill but not as far. Some unknown reason I find walking down that hill fascinating .

Murphy talked to his sister Faith today and her husband Gene is going to their home in California for the Thanksgiving holidays. To do some stuff on their home so they can rent it out.
Honest time...I don’t think they plan to stay here this long They bought an old school house built about 1912 or so.
Their changing it in to a bed an breakfast.
At the holidays we go over mainly to Faith place because of the way Murphy and his brother earl get along.
When their in the same building “you can cut the air with a knife and because the air is thick as butter”. Fact statement...Last time they was in the same room the butter melt
I know Faith mench how uncomfortable she is when Murphy and Earl is in the same room or maybe I should say the same building

Not sure what we’re doing. I’m fairly sure Sawyer will be working up on schweitzer and not sure what Bart got plan. But it fairly good chance that Murphy and I will be the only ones around.
I called my friend Quenelle and invited them but they were invited to someone else place for dinner.
I’ll find someone to cook for or I have a large enough family and far as I know no one pissed at me on my side. Some reason Murphy likes Thanksgiving he says it stress free but I putting on that size of festive is some what stressful. And now I keep thinking 2 or 3 might be a stress free number.

Why does it Matter

As of yesterday 6,256 words I have type for my novel and I’m way behind. I have no ideal where they put books on Plato, or the diary of Ann Frank.
I think everyday hard working individuals ought to heard.

I looked up these words in the dictionary:

Humanism----1)Humanitarian principles or practice. 2) Theology, the doctrine of Jesus Christ was human not divine. 3) The ethical doctrine that mans obligations are concerned wholly with human relations and the welfare of human race

Cult...(N) 1) A particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to it’s rites and ceremonies: Buddhism includes many cult 20 Great admiration for a person, thing,idea etc.
Worship: A cult of (Napoleon) grew up after his death A group showing such admiration; worship

Metaphysical----fanciful, imaginary

Philosophy------1) A system for guiding life, as a body of principles of conduct, religious belief. 2) Study of the truth or principles underlying all knowledge; study of the most general cause and principles of the universe

Religion-----1) Belief in god or gods. 2) Worship of God or Gods 3) A particular system of religious belief and worship.

Spirituality----Devotion to spiritual instead of worldly good. (Spirit-the immaterial part of man; soul

Theology----1) The origin of the gods. 2) A account of this, genealogical account of gods.

This was copy and type from “The world book Dictionary, 1973 edition.

Opinion time....If one so don’t agree on your religious belief they may or may not call it a cult or how you may conduct your rites or services
So after reading the definition of these words I’ve came to conclusion and of your belief can be put to any of these words or all of them. I know I could

Why Wasn't Any Other Planets

As of yesterday my word count is up to 4,630... Confession time...I haven’t been writing any great novel and real don’t want to at this time So what I been doing is copying and paste part of my blogg in their.
I find it some what a fun challenge to do the word count.
For next time around I’ll be do Nablopomo I think

Murphy and I went to the Sunday Service at the Gardenia Center and the lady who did inspirational was on astrology.
Confession time...I wish I took a clip board , paper and penial To take note.
She was saying that Jupiter is in aline with Sagittarius and which is a good thing.
That’s all well and good. Questions....If both house had not been taken by the democrats would she been up their talking about Jupiter and Sagittarius being line up Their other planets that plays into it . So why wasn’t Pieces, Capricorn, Virgo, or any other planets ever said? I think it tongue-in-cheek that people only tells not the whole story. Just the part they want you to hear

I found this site to see my position of planets when I was born and here the results....Hi there, here is the interpretation of the astrological chart that you asked for. Also attached is a .GIF graphic file which depicts your chart wheel. Thank you for visiting the Astrolabe WEB site at http://alabe.com This report has been created especially for you. It represents your Unique picture at the time you were born and at the place you were born. If you are unsure of the exact time of day of your birth (or the date or the place), the reading will probably not seem as accurate as it could be in certain places, but other parts will seem to be very appropriate. You will notice at certain places in the reading that contradictory information seems to be given. This is to be expected, because the personality of most people is extremely complex. For example, at times we are quite shy and at other times we are very aggressive, and so forth. You will also notice that, at certain points in the reading, certain patterns may be repeated over and over, especially in a longer more detailed report than this one. This is also to be expected. This simply means that your horoscope has an extremely strong focus on this particular pattern and that you should pay extra close attention to what is said about it. Now, on with your Report!

Bonners Ferry, ID

Rising Sign is in 12 Degrees Pisces
Very sensitive to your surroundings, other people's feelings become your feelings. Try to avoid negative people because your tendency to empathize with them will make you negative also. An idealist, you must believe in something beyond your normal everyday existence. A dreamer, you like to escape to a world of your own creation. As such, you are known for the vividness of your imagination and should try to share your inner visions with others. Very self-sacrificial by nature, beware of others becoming overly dependent on you or vice versa. Allow yourself to live for yourself once in a while -- you deserve it. Don't be so envious of those who are more aggressive than you -- your gentle charity and true humility are indeed wonderful gifts. on the tenth house cusp (MIDHEAVEN).
Sun is in 22 Degrees Aquarius.
You get bored with the status quo and are generally open to new things and ideas. An individualist and a free spirit, your friends are quite important to you as long as they do not try to tie you down by making too many emotional demands on you. Your thoughts are offbeat and you're a bit eccentric, but not always very changeable. As a matter of fact, you can be quite stubborn at times. Very fair-minded when dealing with large groups or broad issues, you are not always emotionally sensitive to the needs of individuals. Extremely objective, with good powers of observation, you would be qualified to study technical and complicated subjects, like science, computers or maybe even astrology.

Moon is in 22 Degrees Leo.
You always want to be proud of yourself and will never do anything that will make yourself look bad. You need the respect and admiration of others and enjoy attracting attention to yourself. Everything you do tends to be self-emphasized and self-exaggerated. Very stubborn, willful and independent yourself, be sure to allow others who are close to you the similar right to "be themselves." Your need for love, affection and reassurance, and your tendency toward vanity, allow you to have your head easily turned by flattery. The more insecure you are, the more you tend to be a showoff. You love games and sports as a matter of fact, you would usually rather play than work. Be careful of a tendency to be snobbish and uppity -- it does not become you.

Mercury is in 05 Degrees Pisces.
Your ideas and thought processes do not come to you in an orderly, logical fashion. Instead, you think with your feelings or with images produced by your rich and fertile imagination. A very subjective person, your dreams and fantasies are very important to you. You trust your intuitions and tend to reject ideas that are based solely on logic. Very impressionable, you are sensitive to the moods and emotional states of those with whom you come into contact.

Venus is in 20 Degrees Capricorn.
You tend to keep your feelings under control -- emotions are only released in serious or important situations. You are distrustful of others whose behavior could be judged excessive or immoderate. As such, you prefer to relate only to those who are older than you or to those whose position is such that respect and duty are more important for both of you than passion or emotional response. Be careful, however, of relationships that are merely based on practicality or utility or you will ultimately be lonely.

Mars is in 22 Degrees Capricorn.
Extremely ambitious, you are willing to work very hard to reach the goals you have set for yourself. Very practical, cautious and conservative, you demand tangible results for your efforts. You need to excel in whatever you do, and you have the required sense of responsibility, dedication and self-discipline to bring it about. Beware of your tendency to judge others only by their degree of status and prestige, or by how well they will be able to advance you in your climb to the top.

Jupiter is in 27 Degrees Sagittarius.
You have a very strong sense of ethics and morality. You are widely read and may also be widely traveled because you are sincerely interested in expanding your knowledge of the world about you. At times, you have an annoying tendency to be self-righteous and preachy about your belief system. You are usually quite idealistic and you demand the right to be able to explore the entire world of experiences yourself. Remember to grant others the similar right -- be tolerant, not dogmatic.

Saturn is in 14 Degrees Capricorn.
Very serious-minded and mature, you have the ability to take on responsibilities and to carry out important duties. You can also be trusted to be extremely practical and thrifty. A good organizer, you are the ideal one to be counted on to take a clearly defined project through to its logical conclusion. An achiever, you pride yourself on your ability to focus your attention totally on some worthy goal and then attain it.

Uranus is in 18 Degrees Leo.
You, and your peers as well, demand complete and total freedom of self- expression. You want to make your mark in the world according to your own lights and will brook no interference from traditional authority figures, especially if they attempt to mold or shape you in any way. You are honest and forthright, but a bit offbeat and eccentric. The lack of self-discipline may hinder you from reaching your goals as quickly as you would like.

Neptune is in 09 Degrees Scorpio.
You, and your entire generation, are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

Pluto is in 05 Degrees Virgo.
For your entire generation, this will be a time when profound changes in society's attitude toward work, duty and responsibility will be initiated. Radical changes in attitudes toward personal health and general nutrition will be promulgated and gain wide acceptance and practice.

N. Node is in 24 Degrees Virgo.
You're usually quite at ease in leaving leadership roles in the hands of others. You would rather tend to the thousand and one details that need to be accomplished to keep any group going. Although you're very fussy and high-minded when it comes to choosing your associates, once your loyalty is given you can be trusted with many of the practical aspects of any project that is being undertaken. Usually quite unselfish, you will toil long hours in the service of any worthy cause that demands your attention. But be careful that your perfectionist tendencies don't get in the way of making real progress. (In other words, don't waste your time dusting clean shelves!)

Ink blot test

My word count as of yesterday is up to 4274 words in my novel or life of Peppy.

I was at Turtle heart blog and she did a ink plot test.
Not sure of which one she did. I’ll be doing the one threw Tickle

your subconscious mind is driven most by Imagination E=PICT;ALT="
This means you have a deep desire to use innovative ideas to enhance your life and influence the world around you. This drive influences you far more than you may realize on a conscious level.

Your need to be innovative drives how you look at new opportunities and the kinds of experiences in life you choose to have. On an unconscious level, the reason you may be so driven by imagination is your fear of destruction, the opposite of creation. When you are unable to create due to restrictions imposed by your environment or even ones you unwittingly impose on yourself, do you feel trapped or confined? You may find these feelings of unease only get better when you find another outlet for your imagination.

With such a strong creative orientation, you are willing to entertain a broad spectrum of ideas at any given time. The world is a fuller, richer place because you can contribute new ideas to any experience. Your natural curiosity inspires those around you and encourages them to come up with ideas they wouldn't have thought of without your help.
Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Imagination, there is much more to who you are at your core.

My own thoughts... Sure I have a great imagination and I do think of lot of ideals. But put it all together and having it fall into place is anther story.
I don’t think I would use the word destruction.
I’ve blogged about opening a ceramic business again and I know it would be tuff go but in all honestly so is doing what I do now, home care.
I live in the real world with bills and responsibility.

Duane Witherell

As of yesterday my so called famous novel is up to 3,894 words.

As today is Veteran Day and end of World War I. But I like to tell about my Great Grand Grandpa Duane Witherell who severed in the Civil War.
Duane was born April 22, 1847 in Pokagen Michigan to Gilman and Mary Ann (Simpson) Witherell he was their youngest child.
As in his late teens he was called to duty to serve in the union army. As I’ve read he wasn’t all that thrilled about going.
Duane got in the army toward the end of the Civil War and was a foot soldier out of group in Michigan.
One of his older brother Henry died of disease in Tennessee and was a sergeant in the Calvary.

This is a picture of Duane in his early 20's.
I’ve been told about how he was a part of President Lincoln funeral. In springfield Illinois where Lincoln is buried that my Great Grandpa Duane got to fire a volly of shot at Lincoln grave side service part. He was part of the 21 gun salute

This is a picture of Duane in his 40's
I also been told stories how he was a tight wade. One of his favor saying was... I wouldn’t pay a plumb Nickle to see Jesus Christ do somersaults
He smoked a pipe and wouldn’t use his own matches. He would fine a stick and light the stick off the stoke or wait until someone else struck up a match

After the war he married Dora Stansell the daughter of William and Margaret (Siver) Stansell who was from New York They had two Sons.
One day his wife Dora bought a dress and Duane said,” Dora are you spending money again” and she replied “ oh honey I’ve had this dress for while” My opinion...I guess a while can be any time length one may desire.

Duane Farm mainly and worked some other odd jobs. I know he an Montgomery Ward sold shoes together and he was going to be a business partner with Wards and he bailed out.

Duane died at the age of 83 in Michigan

Holiday Traditions

My so called novel is up to 1390 Words as of yesterday

Over at Pea Corner or Stranded in the Mountain I discovered that SAHM is hosting “Holiday traditional” as always I’m a day late or dollar short

The number of guess will depend from year to year. I’ve seen it up to close to 30 guess and as low as 10 guess.
Honest time...I find it some what discomfort at the holiday gathering because of the incident between Murphy and his brother Earl I know they’re as discomfort as we are. They decided to act civil to each other at family function or in public.
Then have nothing to do with each other.

Well our Thanksgiving is pretty simple. Turkey and all the trimmings. For the last couple of years I end up doing some pies. I’ll do two to five pies.
Last year we had Thanksgiving dinner over at my Sister in law Faith. Before dinner we have cocktails. Which includes hard liquor, wine, beer, soda pop, juice, tea, coffee, and water.
After we stuff our faces. We play card games and board games.

Christmas is little more festive then Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving some of my in law goes in and do their Christmas shopping. Confession time...I have no desire to be engaged with that many people.
Soon as the rush is calm down I’ll do my Christmas shopping. I buy my usual gifts and majority of years I pick a charity to give a gift to. This year it will be Toys for tots
The first part of December I put out my smaller Christmas decorations, then I slowly start to address my Christmas cards. My friend Quenelle always sends Christmas card with Angels. Every year I make sure their something different. This year I’m going to send out Stockings on my Christmas cards.
I put up tree fairly early and take it down December 26. We have some property North of Bonners Ferry and we go up and cut our own Christmas tree. I’m picky when it comes to tree for Christmas. I don’t care for farm grown trees, because the only thing you can do with them is lay your ornaments on it. But yet I don’t want a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
I don’t have any sort of theame that I put on our Christmas tree.
Murphy usual puts some lights on trees out side.
During the month of November and December I make some goodies. But this year I’m going to cut back.
Our big Christmas Family get together is Christmas eve. Our dinner consist of Pizza, Oyster Stew, rolls, salads, finger foods, and desert.
After once again we stuff our face.
We all buy for the little kids and last year their was 8 their.
Then the teenagers had a gift exchange and if memory calls 4 teen-aged boys was their.
Now for the adult gift exchange. We all bring one gift right around 20 bucks. There gift wrapped and put in middle of circle.
We then draw numbers. The person draw number #1 picks out first gift, who every draws #2 picks up the second gift and so forth.
We play a dice game. We take pair of dice and a small tray and everytime we roll a pair we can swap our gift with someone.
But some one set a timer for about 10 to 15 minute and once the buzzer goes off. What gift you have is yours.

Christmas day is a little lighter. We stay home and open gifts with our own family. I make Lasagna for Christmas day dinner and what every I feel like.
We open the gifts that Murphy, the boys, and I exchange between the four of us.

Where do we Belong

As of yesterday my word count for my so called novel is at 1030.

When we blogg or read others bloggs. Do we except or not except people who belong to a different religious group, ethnic group, or zodiac sign.

I read bloggs that belong to different lifesyle, political party confession time...I tend to read bloggs that aren’t fans of President Bush Maybe I should I could learn something new or interesting from a President Bush fan.
And religion.
Why do we as people say or think
“I have friends belong to that ___________ group”
“One of my relatives married_________”
“You know their one of them”
Do we real need to point out other people beliefs, ethnic group, political group, or any type of category they may or may not belong to.
I can be put in several group. Sure I have my own personal belief, hair color, eye color, philosophy or finger/toe nail polish.
But we are all live under the same Milky Way galaxy.

I took a quick survey of the 20 bloggs that I read. Honest time...some of my regular fellow bloggers may have more then one blogg. I only looked at one of their bloggs
6 of my coffee pals put people in catagorize people who link to their bloggs
6 of my coffee pals have religious sticker on their bloggs
1 of my coffee pal have a political sticker on their bloggs
1 of my coffee pal have a ethnic group sticker on their bloggs
1 of my coffee pal have an zodiac sticker on their bloggs
15 of my coffee pal have some other type of sticker on their bloggs.
What is the reason we put graphics on our bloggs. Is it to say “Hey I belong to certain group” Are we saying “Welcome to my blogg” or we saying “Stay a way from my bloggs”

If we were all the same. They would be no greaat inventions, or any changes into sociality, no cure for disease.
If we’re all the same we would still be living in a cave

Thanksgiving the forgotten Holiday

I’m at 845 word count for my so called Novel. I know they have dairy and journals of famous people at libraries.
Honest time...I’ve never checked out book which was someone dairy or journal. But I do enjoy reading ordinary peoples bloggs.

As in my blogg of November 4th as I was in Courd’Alene and at all those store. I couldn’t find many Thanksgiving decorations.
So I end up buying a few things in our local dollar store here.
I don’t why they don’t have much out for decoration for Thanksgiving.
I can remember not putting anything out for Christmas till after Thanksgiving.

As for Thanksgiving not sure what we will be doing. Ok I know we will be eating plenty of food.
Murphy Birthday sometimes fall on Thanksgiving and it is his favor Holiday and he thinks it a stress free Holiday.
I don’t see it that way. You clean before, cook all that food, clean afterwards. Confession time...I do like turkey sandwich with cranberries. I guess left overs is a good thing

No Desire to Live With the Hussle and Bussle

I sign up for NaNowiMo which I found over at turtle heart
I’ve never consider my blogg to be a great Novel. Some days I’d call my blogg a journal, dairy, tid bits of info, and a flyer paper that one my be sitting at restaurant table that you pick up and read and think to your self “mmmm I didn’t know that” These flyer paper is the size of 16 inches by 11 ½ not more the 3 sheets..
Plus I’m doing the Ornament exchange over at Kathleen then I’m also doing a stocking exchange over at Peggy
I’m not sure if I’m going to do this blogger one, depending on the difficulty level and time consumption it may have. Over at Granny she participating in= NaBloPolMo

Yesterday I took my Client to Coeur’d Alene for her appointed with Idaho Housing. Idaho Housing was pretty easy to deal with but we had to run over to the social security office, the drive was short I’d guess under a half a mile.
Feeling time..I felt that social security office was cold and impersonal The people working in the office nothing wrong with them. But the way they had the office sat up it just felt cold to me. Lucky are visit their was brief.

For the rest of the day we went shopping. The closes chain store to me is wal- mart and it about a 20 miles from my place. I have to leave the county to go a chain store.
I went in to Big lots For the first time. It was better organize then liquidation world. Honest time...I thought a good name to call Big Lots is “Big Snots” A few things I seen in their I liked but didn’t get.
As we were over at Big Snots.
Bart rode with us and went in to Big 5 sporting goods.
In that area they had a Hastings which I never been in one. Bart bought a CD.
I was quite impress with their book section.
I want to find “Blogging for Dummies” I ask a sale clerk if they had such a book and she and I walked over one shelf over. She pulled out the book and said “I don’t know what a blogging is” on the snotty side. I just wonder if they carried the book or not.
“Oh well her bad attitude isn’t going to keep me away form Hastings"

Touring threw the streets of Courd’Alene I came apon a “Paint your self some Pottery” Anther word a Ceramic Shop that handle bisque.
I went in their looking for different Christmas Ornament made out of bisque different then what I have. They did have different ornament then what I have. But nothing that jumped out at me. Honest time...I got a lot better selection of ceramic all the way around Now if only we could get it going. Seams like a long process.
Well Callie wanted to get her daughter Baby Alive for her birthday. We looked at Big Lots no luck and stop in at k Mart looked and looked no baby alive.
I found and bought a pair of fairly easy off winter boots. I got a pair of packs that are pain to take on and off. So K Mart did have pair of easy off winter boots. Pink and Grey anyhow good colors.
As we were leave K-Mart Callie looked in their sale flyer and asked at the customer service desk if they had any Baby Alive.
K-Mart was out, but this super sale person went out of her way and called Target and Target had what Callie wanted for her daughter. So we drove to Target and she got baby a live for her daughter birthday.
Callie got few more items in target a snowgloble for her sister in law, which she collects. The only thing I got in Target is Kitty food for Ziggy our Cat.
One thing I did notice at target I sure did like some of the Christmas decorations they had in there.

As we were about ready to check out Bart notice a Star Bucks and he big fan of star bucks. I guess their one in Sandpoint and I guess he stops in their quite frequently and grab something other then coffee. I had a grande pumpkin spice latte. This is my second time at Star Bucks.

Yes a day pretending to be yuppie was ok. But I sure wouldn’t want to do it 24-7. I’m glad Boundary County doesn’t have a bunch of chain store and the hussle and bussle
