The bachelor

Being on one income for now we decided to save a little money and drop cable.  I thought this would be a doddle.  WRONG.  I miss tellie so much.  Fortunately there is much available direct online.  Which leads me to today.  I decided to take a look at the bachelor. 

This show. Oi vay.  These women.. one of them rolled up on a bicycle.  That had A PIANO  attached on the front.  And she was playing an original composition.  One woman came with headache meds.  One with her service dog and one special special girl decided it would be a totally brilliant idea to stuff her dress with a pillow and pretend to be pregnant (because she heard he wanted to have more kids).  GENIUS MOVE LADY.

It's 15 minutes of fame for those 27 girls...that's the only reason I can think that is viable to sign up for it because is there truly any reasonable chance of meeting your prince charming in this environment?  Well dear reader, I am going to report back once I catch up with the shenanigans.  I shall endure for you.

Study

Today dear readers I have set aside the day for study.

A test of sorts..im getting myself ready for interviewing.  I say interview ING not because I've got a ton of different jobs to look at but because on Friday I have two phone interviews followed on Monday by four.  These follow on from an interview last week for one job I have applied for.

Happily, it is sunny and I had a good night sleep AND I started the day with a good breakfast - all things condusive to a happy me. 

I haven't stepped into the shower yet and its already 11am but I can't wait to wash and dry my hair so I can experiment with a hair technique learned from whippycake.  Im kind of am in love with her look....it almost makes me consider platinum blonde again.

Aunty advice 101

Ever had a song mind worm? 

Ya know....that one chorus from Welcome to the Jungle looping over and over again in your mind?? 

My sweet niece Lauryn was complaing of such an ailment today and it was my pleasure to disperse the cure all...Suzanne Vega. 

Yes friend's,  you too can safely remove any mind worm by simply humming Tom's Diner.  Don't know the song?  Let me oblige:

Abraham Hicks

Have you ever heard of Abraham Hicks?

I actually came across this wisdom many years ago and its definatley provided some nuggets to help me walk my journey with.

For some if you this might sound a little loopy...to others not so much.  Whatever you inital standpoint have an open mind and look/listen to the wisdom...just give it a taste.

Kay, with me?  Deep breaths...Abraham is actually a group of entites channelled by a person (Esther Hicks).

There's oodles of wondrous video clips to listen to..so much wisdom pours through each one and I highly recommend taking a few minutes to see what you think

Something to ponder

Someone is sitting in the shade today because some one planted a tree long ago.

Warren Buffett

That's a powerful quote to ponder

Just a moment

So so true.  When you take a breath a get quiet you realize that each moment is sacred.
GOOD NIGHT WORLD!

Victorious

As many of you might know I'm a really big fan of words.  Much more so than your usual personage.

Each year, usually in early January, I brainstorm for "my word".  This last year it was SIMPLIFY.  This year it's RECEIVE.  I chose the word receive because I am challenged with being a gracious receiver and I also really liked the aspect of receiving!  When I looked up the dictionary definition I was even more excited because there is so much to this word....

To take or acquire (something given, offered, or transmitted); get.

To hear or see (information, for example): received a good report of the group's activities.

To have (a title, for example) bestowed on oneself.

To take or intercept the impact of

To take in, hold, or contain: a tank that receives rainwater.

To admit: receive new members.

To greet or welcome: receive guests.

To perceive or acquire mentally: receive a good impression.

To regard with approval: essays that were received well.

To listen to and acknowledge formally and authoritatively: The judge received their oath of allegiance.

To acquire or get something; be a recipient.

To admit or welcome guests or visitors: The couple are receiving this winter.

I love receive.

I also was thinking about taking another word VICTORIOUS.
