***** updates about too cute sugar coated babies.. Follow

How are you? Getting enough sleep? Any relationship split ups? Divorces? Pregnancies? New job? Raise?

My kid and her boyfriend left this morning after a weeks visit.

The last time they were both here, we didn't let them share a room. She was still living in the dorm, not with him. Since then they'd moved in together. This time we let them share her old room. She's nearly 23. It was easier not having her on the couch, but it was weird.

tired, but functioning. Life is good, husband is fantastic, kids are doing great. Nothing major to report. I've just been kicking back, and enjoying watching the man's career explode, and the kids learning new stuff daily.

Wondering why my body seems determined to break down less than two weeks before we go on vacation. About four weeks ago, I sustained a partial tear of my Achilles tendon doing the grueling task of...getting out of a chair. That doesn't seem to be making much progress mending despite all my efforts to stay off the foot as much as possible. And today, while picking up the kid, something in my back just WENT and now I can barely move.

Flying back by myself with the boy while in this shape should be really interesting (Mr. Ambrya leaves for home a week earlier so he can get back to work while we can visit with family longer.)

I've had dog show people in my house for the past week.

I screwed my back up last Saturday, and was kind of totally out of commission Sunday and Monday. I think I've gone through five cases of beer this week, and I haven't been properly drunk once.

A lady brought her contractor by to tour the property the other day, and she was talking about raising the ceilings to install fans, so I think she's pretty seriously considering buying the place.

Probably going to the bar in town tonight. It's a big deal. I'm gonna put on people clothes.

Need to do some laundry next week because I'll be flying out to Colorado Springs for two weeks come next weekend. I have my ten year reunion and my childhood best friend's thirtieth birthday to attend, and probably a trip to the strip club and a couple other nights in bars and a family barbecue and a trip to Denver. I'm looking forward to the week after next.

Okay, gonna go feed dogs now. Good talk.

By my clock, Tare should just be arriving home in wonderful CAnAdA. She's been traveling all day today with kiddos. I am sure she is quite happy and cheerful!

Just finished my two short summer classes so now I only have two classes through the end of July. Vacation (keeping my head low, not going anywhere) August 2-10. School starts back up late August with a 16 credit load. Other than that, been playing my GBA emulator on my PSP and looking forward to The Dark Knight on IMAX Tuesday.

Also going out for coffee with a cute little thing from my Women in History class. Hopefully results in at least a friendship as I've had rather slim pickings on the social front since I came back from my last vacation.

Same old sh*t different f*cking day.


Though I did recently transfer from California to Washington State so I'm pretty happy about that. Oh and I get to work on a new (to me) plane, the EA-6B Prowler. The Prowler in reality was based off the A-6 Intruder that said, the EA-6B is the oldest jet-powered engine (not counting props or helo's) in the Navy if not the military entirely.

Apparently someone wanted a thread about sugar coated babies, because they rated this one down.

People are funny.

Well I hope Tare is having a kick *** time, we miss her...



As for me, last night I had a date, we went out for steak then to see Hancock since neither of us wanted to wait in line for tix to Dark Knight on a normal theater when both of us were dying to see it IMAX. I stayed out WAY too late, got up semi early to get my hair done, blonde again woot! I waited to long to get my hair done this time, so no wild colors because that is a double process that I didn't have the patience to do. Next time, hot pink stripes!

Getting ready to nap, but was talking to Kao as my laptop has bit the dust it appears and I am cranky over it. I obviously didn't get enough sleep.

Tonight, going to the bar, two GF's share a birthday and they are celebrating tonight with another lady who's is in a month. I am an honorary birthday girl (6 months later) because I didn't get squat for my birthday, no card, no cake, no nothing! So I will be dancing to hard rock/heavy metal and head banging, and occasionally stealing some cake with my picture on it!

No telling what time tomorrow I will be home, might pick me up some strange as Thumb keeps telling me to do. And tomorrow afternoon/evening I get to see my baby girl first time in nearly 6 weeks!!! I cannot wait.

Oh and we are hitting up DQ on the way home and snagging one of those Girl Scout thin mint shakes, OMG heaven.

Then starts cheer practice 2x a week from now until Nov.

I spent all of Sunday dismantling, transporting, and reassembling a new couch for our living-room.

Sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll baby!

Not unless Camp Ramble Wood is along the Potomac in Harper's Ferry and you were a lithe half naked college girl named Megan.

I, however, think that it would be interested in going to a Pagan Gathering... but usually when I deal with such groups (Cedar Light, Light Paths, etc..) I find that I usually don't get on well with others. My belief system is utterly anti-specific or that is anti-egocentric... so the minute people come at me with specifics about their beliefs.. such as named deities, set patterns, spiritual authors, or other cultural frameworks I immediately have to be really careful not to offend people... which while amusing at times.. it's not the Ayslum. I usually just tuck into a corner somewhere and listen.. but even that seems to make people uncomfortable.
People seem to not like being told that their gods, their world, and themselves are just a conglomerate of infinite potential energy. Even though "I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks" I also believe that the realization of the Unity in the Universe is the next step to spiritual metamorphosis and a step which many simply shall not take at this time despite their open-mindedness.


I don't know; but actually before I read this post I happened to pick up a book "Blackfoot Physics" which a woman from work went out on her lunch break and bought for me after a conversation that I had with her. It has been sitting around for awhile but I had just decided to pick it up and start reading it.
I don't tend to get into many such books anymore though.. One MAIN reason that I would read one would be to sorta "speak the same language" as another person who has read it. Many time they seem like books about offshoots and interpretations of a thing that has never been properly recorded in any book.
My EX-***** swore by "Conversations with God", which was a really good read; but even the fact that the author beings allegory into the mix creates a domination factor of writer over reader.. which is often inevitable. Many people think that I read some self help program thing (might have been from the guy who wrote CWG) after talking with me.

so no, don't know if I've read any of that.. although but I would be happy to discuss any other the subject matter with you over tea or whiskey or whatever.

and no, I'm way too self-centered to stalk anything but my own reflection.
