continuing the theme... lol

Ever wonder where trash ends up? Right back where it started laying a carpet the size of Texas along the way. Click below to see:

The Trash Vortex

just call me Martha Ann... lol

Went and auditioned last night for the first time in almost two years. The director called me at work today... got cast in the play!
Woo hoo! LOL

When my friends asked which part they gave me, I told them, "The ditzy blonde one." My friend Cathy retorted, "Well that won't be a stretch for you!"

LMAO!!!

{so true!}

;-)

My instructions are to watch two movies I've never seen (joined Netflix... this is a new thing for me! LOL). First one is Daddy's Dying, Who's Got The Will and the second is Sordid Lives. Never heard of either of them. The pending result will hopefully be picking up the unique Texan dialect and accent. These two movies are my study materials.

Now to figure out how to hook up the DVD player my mother gave me for Christmas... lol

I'm back onstage...
and loving it...
it's good to be home again...

life is about choices

Today I made a decision. A choice. For me. If there is anything I learned from the Redwoods trip it's that I not only always survive, I thrive.

It is within each of us to control our own destiny to a certain degree.
I choose *me*.

freakin people out... lol

I love improv!!! And shock value never gets old...

Frozen Grand Central

On a cold Saturday in New York City, the world’s largest train station came to a sudden halt. Over 200 Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. Over 500,000 people rush through Grand Central every day, but today, things slowed down just a bit as commuters and tourists alike stopped to notice what was happening around them. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our mission report and photos.

It's going to be a great spring!
With lot's of time in the saddle.
One New Year's resolution down -
A few more to go...

our one year anniversary

Today is our one year anniversary -- Hope and I. Can't hardly believe it... she has brought me hope for tomorrow, contentment for the minutes of today and peace for all of my yesterdays. I am free to simply breathe... {Thanks Hope! I know you can hear me... lol}

The past year has been filled with an enormous amount of growth, love, pain, pleasure, family, friends - both old and new, pets, moves, trips, jobs, learning, laughter, and many many joyful memories.

I remember this day in 2005 when I thought my world was ending while the Redwoods trip was being finalized for February. It is an amazing journey -- life is... never what we expect and so much more than we could ever imagine. The best is yet to come!

I am truly blessed and grateful for every experience I've had, every person I've met along the way and all of the things that have come and gone in and out of my life over the years.

Thank you to all my friends and family for all my birthday wishes today. It has been an absolutely wonderful way to start a fantastic new year - hearing from all of you. I can't wait to see what the universe has in store for me... it's been a hell of ride so far this life!

I'm ready for so much more...
Whatever that "more" will be...
Let's get this ball rolling...

LMAO!!!

:-)

{patience is still a ways back in my learning curve... *g*}

count down!

Happy New Year!

Data Sources and Suggestions

While the actual numbers cannot be precise the rates of change are what is most interesting.

(NB During January, the number of days passed is the same as the number of days passed in the year so far. So the counts will be the same.)
