..the never-ending list..
I'm a big baby. I bought myself a little yellow fluffy ducky toy that chirps/quacks when you squeeze his tummy the other day...and I named him 'Waddle-Doo'. He's sitting on the desk looking at me....
I got sick of being a red head. I have so much gray now that when I go to color it I get patches of neon orange or pink..I went a nice warm brown last weekend and I like it much better. I'll probably change my mind again next week....
I'm trying to be as minimalistic as possible these days. Oddly enough, just when I'm doing well and not spending any money on unneccessary things something always goes wrong/breaks down and I have to fork out a sizeable chunk of dough to fix/replace it.
I like the smell of Pine-Sol...to me, it represents 'clean'.
My neighbors piss me off. They seem to think that rules, regulations and laws are meant for other people, not for them, and don't understand that I can't be around that. They insist on riding the non-street-legal dirt bikes around the children's playground outside my back yard (when there are kids out there playing!!!) leaving said dirt bikes, 4-wheelers and huge ass trailers all over the driveway that we share, providing unlicensed day care for umpteen toddlers at their house (I came home from the store the other night and one of the mom's who was picking up her kids had parked her car at the end of my driveway, blocking it. I rolled down my window and asked her if she could please move it, and she just stood there and stared at me..so I waited a bit and then asked again...she made some smart ass comment and sauntered over to the car and stood there looking at me for a bit before she got in her car and left...I was fucking furious)..they play loud music at midnight (but have the nerve to complain about the other neighbors doing the same thing), she vacums her bedroom (right next to mine) at 2 am and wakes me up...the list just goes on and on. I've tried to talk to them about it, I'm dropped hints that what they're doing is illegal, annoying and dangerous but it's just not sinking in. I don't like to dime people out, but the day is coming where I'm going to have.
I'm going through a salsa and chips phase...especially with some jalapenos and cheese...yummy! I've eaten them every night for the past 5 days, and I'm not tired of them yet.
I've gained 5 lbs and I think I look better a little bigger.
I'm re-reading 'On The Road' by Jack Kerouac.
MadPoet figured out part of the reason my screen name is Dharma...
..and he has also inspired me to start writing poetry and prose again. I'm not brave enough or good enough to post any yet, but I will....sometime.
I feel like I've made a whole leap in my spiritual growth recently. Certain things that didn't make sense to me before, make a whole lot of sense now...and I'm able to be much more compassionate and aware these days than I have been in the past.
I'm seeing certain bloggers here in a different light..some, who I never imagined I would have an affinity with, are now my 'friends'...but there are a couple who I'm seeing as pretentious and false (that's presuming that anyone you meet on line is 'real' to begin with). I thought that they were intelligent and compassionate...but I'm starting to see them as self-absorbed and shallow. There are some who I felt an affinity with from the get-go, and still do...in fact, it's only being affirmed the more we interact with each other.
...and finally, I have managed to let some things that were bothing me go. I visualized myself unhooking them from my heart where they had been embedded and letting them out of my body and away into the universe. I didn't realize just how much hurt they were causing me and how heavy they made my heart until I got rid of them....
