my new home,

makes for excellent reading ~smirkles~

I am so ready to put my fist through this pc. We have cleared every single programme off it in an effort to bluff the data card into connecting and going faster.
It didn’t work.
I have decided I wouldn’t survive very well on a desert island because I truly miss modern technology. Some stuff I can get by without but right now what I wouldn’t do just to pick up a phone LOL and hear a dial tone. I have talked to my girls once since leaving Florida on a stupid throwaway cell phone thing and that was months ago. Considering we used to talk every single day it's just one more black spot on the stupid mistake I made coming back here.

someone somewhere has lost the plot GRRRRRRRR

In Florida where the likelihood of your house being blown away or swept away by hurricanes the houses are built (sometimes in less than a week) from timber frames plastic wrap and paneled sidings…….. okay..

In the UK where I believe our last hurricane was what?… 1990? 1989?? I can’t remember, but anyway. The houses don’t get blown away as a rule BUT they are built with brick. Sometimes as in this case even the dammed interior walls are brick built!


As I said PFFT someone somewhere has lost the plot.

I need to ask a question. Brits or Americans can answer just don’t blow me up okay. I had some beautiful lamps in the USA and bubble of course has her Disney princess lamp. Now to me I think I should be able just to cut off the American plugs and replace them with English plugs. The wires inside are the same. OR. Another idea would be to rewire the whole lamp. Any ideas??

I knew the transition back into the UK “style” was going to be hard. I just didn’t know how much.

How much pain is too much pain?

Suspension from hooks through the nipples or from hooks in the back?

Have I lost track here?

Have I lost the gist of what my submission is all about?

And what’s this “trust” thing??

“Fear is overcome by trust”

I am feeling so out of my depth here and I thought I knew what “it” was about….. but I like the P/people!!

Through softened breaths I seek control
And plead my body hear me
My soul screams out, Hy holds me down
Yet still I will resist
Hys presence turns the ice to rain
My body floats on high
I hold my breath
I can escape
This power over me

Where once the rains fell quenching the roots of life, as we knew it,
Now spreads the earth
dry and barren into a never ending distance that once was an oasis of plenty
Nothing lives as the choking sands force the last elements of life from the withered
Blackened,crumbling,limbs
Vultures soar in the mid day heat
Searing heat melting the core
Without the rains there is no life sustainable
When taken for granted
Nothing can survive.
When what is not ours to take or borrow
Yet we place premature ownership upon
Only says what we all said we knew
Once the root is dead, there is no life
Forcing change through deceit and manipulation
So we may bask in the sunshine of another
The petals before the foundation of the flower
Ignorance of the grower who should have known better.

One of the ladies on my LJ who shall remain nameless, (since her journal is private) posted a real thought provoking post, yesterday that really got me thinking about life, how we view it, our achievements in life and the demands we make of ourselves in life.

In a nut shell how we get to an age and think, “who would have thought I would be here at this age”

Okay I am with Robin on this one LOL there are something’s just better left unsaid on LJ which is the way this last week in our household will stay………… WOW… end of story!!
However, I did do a wee bit of writing and since I tend to lose much of what I write where best to place it than LJ…….. you don’t have to read it

Frivolous contentment of what may not last
A dream in the making a nightmare to pass
The corn flowers are blue the sky a dull gray
The lilies have bloomed but the roses have died
The seagulls are flying overhead as we speak
But none are attempting a flight that’s not safe
The ocean is angry and I search for the calm
White washes the blue in tumultuous scorn
My body attempts a fierce transformation
Yet my soul is a petal blown in the winds
A life I once new fades into the past
A new day is dawning I know cannot last
The flurry of winds bring salt to my eyes
But no one will see till the rains pass on by
My self is a blossom thrown from the trees
In dark brown resentment, laying withered and torn
The lighthouse casts amber glow far out to sea
A fog horn a warning to stay far away.
The mists are a haven to all that would hide
as ghosts of the Cliffside on an incoming tide

Well, I think it was fairly easy to work out where the missing container has been.
A) it must have been somewhere fairly hot because most of the boxes were soggy and the tape was just melted. Possibly hell?
B) Possibly, around over and through a few icebergs because I am still trying to understand some of the damage!! My brand new picnic table (solid pine) looks like it fell down a mine shaft. The stupidly expensive parasol I bought has four strats just mashed and splintered and missing. My bed and mattress has splinters all over it WTH?? I spent an hour with tweezers yesterday trying to dig them out. Och the list is endless.
C) I think it came via Iraq and I am just thanking the Goddess that I know how to pack because apart from furniture damage I did not have one breakage.
All the boxes are empty. I have been working the night shift LOL and now it’s just a case of finding places to put everything.

For the second day running I have the littles awake and up and all the airbeds deflated and stored in the closet in the hope that our container is going to arrive today. Cameron is asleep against the drawing room wall as it’s still early for him.
Yesterday was seemingly a truck malfunction so we will wait and see what today brings. Today is also the day we may get a land line telephone but again I am so not holding my breath. I am so used to the secondary plans and implementations to make life easier that I almost don’t know I want anything else LOL. The house is dreadfully easy to clean like this ~s~

Tomorrow without a shadow of a doubt however we do get a fridge and freezer and that will make life 100% better. I will be able to empty the bath of cold water we use right now for storing perishables LOL which does actually have it's distinct advantages if you get a bit peckish in the shower.

So fingers crossed people that by the end of the day I may well be hidden under reams and reams of wrapping paper and empty boxes or it will be day 41 of camping out. UGH…. It’s all good ~s~ life is what you make it at the end of the day.

Oh hell famous last words, LOL, we are delayed till Goddess alone knows when!!! How did I know this would happen LOL

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ah well another day in the saga. However, things will change drastically today ~smirkles~ because I only put up with nonsense for so long and my tolerance has just gone straight out of the window.

Dammmmmmmm I am so mad I missed another party last night!!! Sheesh the tom tom drums are my favourite instrument too. Dammit!!

Anyway, it’s


D Day so my entertainment will have to wait.

What a mess LOL

I should get the keys for the house today, should being the operative word. I have been up since 4am doing the last of the ironing and packing the suitcases and have most of the car packed. No way is everything going to go in the car so I am going to have to make 2 trips which is a pain in the arse because it’s a 2 hour round trip unless I can get someone to follow me to save me the journey.

As yet there is still no word of the container and it is now amusing me. Sheesh no point in doing anything else. If nothing else it will be an adventure, survivor of the fittest. Of course I am still waiting for the realtor to call to arrange the keys and I have this horrid suspicion since everything was closed yesterday they are going to try and delay me. They have two hopes, Bob and none.

If the worst comes to the worst I want to get in there and clean it today and oh boy does it need cleaning!! I bought every conceivable cleaning supply yesterday and it will be so easy to clean since it’s empty, but getting in just might be the problem.

My popularity has risen to an all time high. I don’t know what to say. I feel so loved and accept this award with deep gratitude to those who, voted for me.
