A Simple Country Mouse

Well bloggers, spring is finally in the air!! The air is still cool, but the sun is beginning to shine through the seemingly endless rainy clouds. And it's not just peaking through once in a while. It's beginning to shine for whole days. I'm so excited. It means the rainy season is about to end and the sunny season is about to start. That means I get to turn our porch into a garden oasis...assuming it lives long enough to even grow a little. I seem to be the opposite of a green thumb. More like a black thumb. Everything I touch dies...in short order. Oh well, it's worth a try! I hung outside lanterns up in the beams, and put a small tree that Author bought me for my birthday. Granted, poor thing doesn't look so good right now. I should get a larger pot, and maybe some potting soil. Anything else I should get? Please leave me any ideas in the comments...I will happily try anything. I would like to get some herbs like oregano, cilantro, and parsley. Hmm, I bet rosemar...

Before you jump to an assumption about what this blog is going to be about, stop....and read it. I promise, you might find it a little more amusing than you think. Tell me bloggers, what are you sick and tired of? Is it the cat shredding the back of your chair? Or is it the kids running up and down the hallway with their fingers on the wall? Or maybe it's the little things like a bowl of cereal a counter? Something I have a habit of accidentally doing. The fact that you dropped your keys on the pavement and didn't realize? Yup, it was one of those days. But for me bloggers, it's more of a I'm actually sick and I'm really tired. But still a rather amusing day. To start my day off, I forgot to put my jeans in the dryer. So they were still wet 45 minutes before I had to go to work. Ooops.... My own fault. Then in the car racing down the hill, I had to stop at a red light, 5 times in a row. Had I not been speeding, I would have had all green lights. Again what am I go...

Hey bloggers do you ever wonder what life would be like without technology? I just got a brand new phone and I can talk to it and it texts. Not only that but I'm blogging just by talking to it right now. Granted, I'm still trying to figure it out so if it doesn't sound right, I'm sorry. So this may be a short blog. How do you use technology? Do you that just to play with it? Do you use it for work? Do you use it for your kids? This new phone that I just got is so much fun but it I also use it for work. For me writing is fun but this is even a new way for me to do it. It's a way for me to write what I'm thinking without actually having to write it. I can put my thoughts on paper just by saying the words. How weird is that? I've never had a phone that I can talk to and it does what I need. I can't wait to see what else it does. Well bloggers I'm going to go back and try and figure out exactly what it said. Talk to you soon. Literally.

Do you ever wonder bloggers, about how time passes? I often do and I wonder what the future will bring. When I say how time passes I don't entirely mean in which direction or the shape of time, though I have thought about that a great deal too. No, I mean what lies ahead. Do you always look to what will be, or to what is? Someone once told me the best way to live your life is as if you only had a day left. Financially, we all know this to be a very unwise decision, but what they meant was live life to the fullest. Don't live in the past, just learn from it. The same goes for the future. Don't live for it, but don't throw it away. It's all very simple really. If you live life to the fullest by making friends and influencing the world around you, you build a legacy. One that will last through time. But then the question gets asked, what do you want your legacy to be? What do you want to be remembered for? This is something I have thought long and hard about. Here is ...

Well bloggers, the sun is out and the day is beautiful. Things here at the Sound Castle are great and we are loving life. Today is a day for cleaning and for relaxation. I had planned on hitting Pier 1 but decided I would rather spend the day cleaning and not having to leave the house quite yet. Tomorrow is Gamer and I's appointment with my doctor. It's the first ultrasound! We hopefully get to hear the baby's heartbeat!!! We are so excited. I can't wait!!! I will let you know how it goes. As a family, we have decided that this little one's nickname is space monkey. They are going to be so cute...even looking like a space monkey the first time. I am going to try and work some on a painting tonight after the house is clean. I have been feeling really down lately, probably hormones, but you know. So, I think one of the best ways of doing that is taking time for me and the hobby that makes me terribly happy. I'm so looking forward to it. It's going to be a bl...

What do you do when your heart is broken and bleeding out? Do you rage, and hope the pain fuels your anger? Do you shut down, or run away? Do you cry like there is no tomorrow and pray that the hurt falls with your tears? I am guilty of the first. Growing up, showing feelings was weak. It was the culture I grew up in. A rough and tumble, hard edged way of life. The best way I could hide my pain was in anger. It was to see red and keep everyone at bay with cruel words and harsh realities. I still do that sometimes, though those that know me, know that its a facade, even when it hurts them. In my pain I used to lash out. It was the old saying hurt people hurt people. To this day, it is rare I get to that point, but every once in a while it sneaks up on me. Last night I saw red, but I have learned enough to lock myself away until I'm at least seeing normally again. I should have locked myself away for much longer, and not trusted myself to do anything. Instead foolishly, I did someth...
