magick musings…

This year, Fall must’ve snuck through when I was doing something else. Yesterday it was in the high 70’s, humid and sunny. By tonight, it will be in the low 30’s. Will definitely be good to freeze these allergies making everyone miserable. BUT I MISSED FALL!

Can you believe we have our 27th tropical storm forming as we speak? Gamma. That’s the name. We have exhausted the English alphabet so now working on the Greek. I just read Sidney Sheldon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark and he tells of world powers that have, in real life, created and patented machines to mess with the weather. Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me, but, who knows, stranger things have happened. Look at this year alone.

Check Mik’s new blog look. Upbeat, trendy, bright – it really rocks. And thanks to her for helping me with my new look. I have learned a lot under her patient teachings and owe her some serious Starbucks :coffee: She also has a poem, Clarity, published Monday with Circadian Poems. Very emotional and full of angst. If you can make the reader feel – whether it be sadness, anger, hope or hopelessness, joy, etc. – then you have done your job. Well done, Mik!

Proud of Dennie’s hard work and devotion to NaNo! She will definitely be listed under the winner’s page! You go, girlfriend!

On a very sad note, one of my coworker’s husband had suffered a cough that wouldn’t go away with three rounds of antibiotics so the doctor did a chest x-ray. Noting a small shadow that shouldn’t be there, an MRI was ordered and from that they found cancer. In his lungs, pancreas, liver, bones, just about everywhere but his brain. My heart and prayers go to him and the family. He is only 30 years old and given six months to live.

Makes you realize you have a lot to be thankful for.

Speaking of thankful, Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! Where did this year go??? Christmas is, ohmygosh, right around the corner! My son text messaged me at work yesterday to inform me that the radio station, 103.7, is already playing continuous Christmas music. I refuse to listen until after the Macy’s Day Parade! I refuse!

Once a month, I treat myself to a professional pedicure. It’s such a wonderful pampered feeling that I believe everyone, men included, should try it occasionally. The other day, as my feet were blissfully soaking in a warm, vibrating foot bath, I happened to overhear the lady in the chair next to me make a remark that had more than my foot bath water boiling.

She was saying that the reason things were in such a turmoil in this world was because women were not as submissive to their husbands as they should be.

She said that if women knew their place, then there would be less problems in this world. Now, if she chooses to believe this, that is her business. I even understand what she is referring to, but think think she has it all out of whack.

She happened to be talking to a young mother of three who mentioned that she and her husband had been having trouble and didn’t know what to do about it.

I couldn’t help it. My mouth took on a life of its own. Read the rest of this entry »

There must be something wrong with my digital camera. It’s putting lines on my face. No way those could be wrinkles! But just to be sure, I checked in the mirror. The lighted, magnifying mirror. Heavens, how long have they been there? Those tiny lines that tease the edges of my eyes. The creases on either side of my mouth that remind of parenthesis. 🙁 How could my family and friends not tell me they were there? How could I have not noticed!

I spent a half a day sad and depressed until I decided I wouldn’t let time march across my face any longer! I had a plan! Read the rest of this entry »
