I bought this greek pizza, I have been wanting them to market one for a while. So I get this pizza and it looks fabulous on the box. When i open it, the thing has one artichoke and feta that looks like dust. I could count the olives. I guess thats what I get for buying a frozen pizza. The heck with it. Ill just make my own greek pizza! The best pizza I have ever had is the Mexican pizza from the Western Hotel. It has chili on it and jalepenos, its so spicy. I love it. |

Vaccumed my garden today, lol.. Really..I did. It was much easier to vaccum the leaves up around the coblestones with my shopvac than it was to rake it. I found a beehive and upset it..what usually would have been a nightmare wasnt all that bad..I just sucked the bees up..muah hah ha hah!! I think Im on to something here.. |

Nice...Its like about 70 degrees outside today! I have to run down to visit some job sites that have been ongoing and go make a deposit at the bank.. I went to see 300 the other night, It was pretty much the best battle epic movie Ive seen yet...It was better than I expected it to be, It kept my eyes open wide. Lots of nonstop action. Today I woke up to a bright morning outside my window and the bluejays were sitting in my trees on the patio singing..what an awakening..Its the best day of the year in a way..All the life is growing back with the start of today... I also saw the geese flying back home from the south this morning while I was outside picking up around the fireplace with my friend..its always a joy to hear them honking by..it means its just about time to get my boots out and go hiking..YEAH! This is the month that the beach tractors comb the winter clutter and beach artifacts off of the beach that have washed in all winter long..I cant wait..I go before they do it every year on a nice day and hang out with the babies. We find all sorts of cool stuff like fishermans boots, lobster cages, shark teeth, jellyfish, seaglass, sometimes I find jewlery from the hot summer beach days that have passed..I found a seiko scuba divers watch last year, it washed in with the tide..that was pretty cool cause it was still ticking..:) The kids always bring backpacks and collect shells and pretty, smooth searocks..We make a spring time seacastle and I always see the same people every year who live down the shore. Im deeply in love with the water, the seashore. The ocean is a part of me.. I have this business idea, its the best one ive had yet, or more like the one I like the best, of opening an art gallery..it will happen and it will be lucrative..i have a business plan Ive been working on for a while, I cant write out my secrets on it here, but I assure you it will be great..I cant think of any better way that I would want to spend my life than working an art gallery on the shore..i mean you have to make dough somehow..might as well enjoy it right?..My favorite job that Ive ever had was working in an art gallery..Ice cream girl second.. You would think that it would be running my own business or working in the corperate world, but no..the greatest job that Ive ever had was working in those two places..Ice cream shop and and art gallery.. I know there wasnt any money in it but they were so much fun..:) I bought a new computer monitor..its a 21 inch plasma flat panel High Def something or another. i already had a 17 inch flat panel.I had to buy this new one because I was given a video card upgrade and it needs this monitor to work correctly I guess..one of my best friends James knows all about all this stuff..I had a g-force4 4700? or something and now i just got the new gforce 7200? card..I dont know..it was free..whatever..thanks computer fairys. I bought a new burner/dvd/cd blah blah blag too..the one from the other compter wouldnt work for some reason..so yeah one of those too..now I can make discs again..I got some really great deals cause COMPUSA is going out of business in N.Attleboro.. I did so many cartwheels the other day my shoulders are sore..That means I need to do some more..Every woman should least be able to do a decent cartwheel..hehehe.. |

I have to say that one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen, is when there is magic in a childs eyes. When just for an instance something simple, something ordinary, seems surreal. I love to spread magic. It exists. I know, I hand it out all the time. To me, magic was being 7 years old and seeing my first live stage performance , "The Works of Edgar Allen Poe", in Boston. In the center of the room was a spinning stage, and on it performed these people in amazing costumes. The sound was extrodinary. The lighting was incredible. Magic existed at that moment. For that hour I was in a place so unlike earth, it seemed like a completely different planet to me. I used to love my job on Town Council approving grants to send groups of children to see the performing arts. One time I remember sending a group of little girls to thier first ballet performance in Boston. I would have loved to have been there that day to see the sparkle in thier eyes when they walked through the foyer for the first time, on thier way to sit in their own cozy theater seat. Them hearing the oceans of people whispering, not knowing what might be coming next and getting the butterflies in thier tummys when the curtains drew open. Thats magical to a child. I gave them something magical. I came from a low income family. There was not much to go around. My mother worked hard, she made ends meet. There wasnt extra money for the cinemas and theaters, let alone a box of Fruity Pebbles. I remember she always dreamed about going to the Rockettes, The Nutcracker, and the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade. Back then and still to me now, magic was watching these performances on TV with her. And as I said, I love giving magical experiences so last year I surprised my my mother by buying her tickets to the ballet, The Nutcraker, at the Providence Performing Arts Center. One of the most wonderful moments in my life was seeing the child in my mothers eyes by granting a simple little dream to her. Ill always remember the way she glowed, all dressed in beautiful clothes for the first time. She wore a dark blue velvet blazer, it offset her firey blue eyes, a pair of fancy trousers, fancy new shoes and beneath her black wavy hair were some pretty earings. She looked amazing, so full of life. She was so happy. She smiled to me as we walked the red velvet carpet stairway to the usher. She smiled as we were seated. I dont think she stopped smiling that night. When I looked at her, while she was watching the marionettes spinning on the stage, her big blue eyes sparkled like a thousand stars. That night, I gave her magic. It was one of the best nights of my life. -C |

I went to the Emerald Mall yesterday for a haircut..I drive like 45 minutes to that stupid mall cause they are the only ones who can cut hair well.. Well anyway I got to Trade Secrets and It was boooooooked!!! They refered me to Regis on the second floor, near Babages..I made an appointment and took a stroll to the game store..They have the best game choices at Babages..I went to this really cool thing called the reactivex or something. OMG the most awesomest thing Ive ever seen! Its this electronically wired green screen type mat thing on the floor and above it is a interactive computer that projects virtual game scenarios on the floor..but this is the cool part..If you choose a virtual soccer game. This soccer ball is on the green and you run up to it and kick it! It will go in the direction that you kick it in. You can actually play a game of soccer with this thing..When you score the floor explodes in fireworks..I want one.. There is this other choice you can make which is when the screen on the floor turns into an asian fish pond with fish swimming in it..So you can actually jump into this pond, the water splashes wherever you jump exactly like real water..and the fish swim away from you if you attempt to catch them..the babies loved it! I had to sneak away to a treat shop and grab them some flashing lollypops to get them to come back to Regis with me.. There are alot of other really incredible games and virtual suprises that you can use on this thing.. its so cool.. So I went and got my hair cut at this superfancy place and they gave me prob. the hottest haircut that I have ever gotten! Like Catherine Zeta Jones hot..Yeah baby..I actually look like 30% even hotter than before.. I usually pay $30 for a haircut at TradeSecret...I forgot to ask on the pricing at Regis..Its $15 more expensive there but when you get a good haircut its totally worth it.. One time at a place in town I got a haircut..NEVER again..They werent listening and were off in space and cut all my hair up above my shoulders! I mean Duh...I have long hair..how did I imply I wanted you to cut all my hair off?? :P I didnt notice cause I thought they were just putting in layers.. Bye bye for now....xoxo

One thing I worry about the most is forgeting.. I never want to forget all the good things people do for me.. I never want to forget how much certain people have loved me.. I know I will so I think I need to start a paper journal of all the special things..Names..Dates..Events.. Im sitting here drinking tea..and I remember one of my favorite memories..The one where my mom makes me tea every morning wether I drank it or not..This memory comes from highschool..I worked a full time job six days a week on top of full time school and I sometimes woke up so late that I didnt even have the 5 seconds to drink the tea..I wish I made more time for that...If I could go back..I would have gotten out of bed at 5am and sat with her in the morning in the dark quietness and enjoyed that tea with her..I have alot of regrets like that..I can still make up for it though, she hasnt left me yet.. I made up for it the other day..lol.. I convinced her to go sledding with me..she had such a great time that even after I left she kept sliding..lol..some day that memory will keep my lonley heart warm..I love her so much..No one could ever ask for a better mother.. My mother has never in my life spanked me..or treated me bad..I mean ever..she had food fights with me...she didnt care if we made a big mess as long as we had fun..she is a laugher.. Im glad Im just like her..

Im just this silly little kid inside you all know that, So its totally comprehensive to you all when I write about these silly things I see..I LOVE science like no tomorrow, always have :) So to get to the point, I saw this documentary on Ice lol, yeah, Ice.. So anyway, there is this "highly scientific" mixture that you can create and they call it Pykrete.. The other thing that is completely amazing but very obvious is that the sawdust creates an insulation to the ice mixture and it takes like 70 percent longer to thaw out! So what use is it? I have no clue...Im sure they can use it for something... Some scientists did however create a functional life scale model of a ship out of the pykrete ice and put it on a body of water, It took 3!! full summer months for the ship to melt! The military also shot a firearms at it and the bullets Ricocheted, What a friggin cool substance!!

I got notice that this really nice guy I met once died last weekend. He was getting up there in age though, I think about 79 or 80..well any way, someone let me know that just before he died he was really trying hard to communicate my name to them..Everyone tried understanding him, this makes me so sad.. He was asking for me..He wanted to be sure I was doing ok... Its just so deep to me..the thought of it..I mean, somone I have only met once..who has lived 80 years on this plane, close to a century in this material world..and in the very last thoughts and concerns that he would ever have, he thought of me...It just really moves me...he was very close to death..I wonder if he could tell right then with the passage of the next plane so close to him, so close that he was almost ready to pass through, I wonder if he knew all the answers to all unanswered questions that people in this life ask...I wonder if he was shined on by the complete awareness of it all..I wonder if he knew i am what i'll call, contactable. It just makes me wonder.. He did know he was about to pass I know that for sure. He said aloud that he was going..and he said goodbye, and I Love You to his wife be for he went.. You know, "death" isnt a horror, when it ends the way his did. It can be a very touching and beautiful thing, he and his wife had a wonderful 80 years together.. and in the end he didnt fear his death, he wasnt afraid..he was full of peace..the exact same kind of peace that we should all embrace while we are alive..Everyone should put out the fires of fear and embrace that peace..Its here to take, and its here to feel, just like Love..once you can embrace it, you'll see everything much more clearly.. Like a quote that James lives by.."Fear is the Mindkiller"... and with that...Im out.. ;)

Screw you Atkins..I want a peanutbutter cup...*crying* Dermatoligist today.. Biotin supplements..my new daily snack. They will keep me beautiful he says.. I crush them with spoons to ensure absorption..something I learned when I worked as a nutritionists assistant.. Colloidal is the best way to go when you choose a supplement.. Getting older forces you into thinking about maintaining your body..one more thing to worry about..:) I repainted all my antique furniture white today..2 dressers bedside tables and a vanity..fresh for my move..Last time i painted furniture white was at the art gallery for Jean Paradise..
