All work and no play...

makes Khyber a dull girl!

Here's what I've been working on--

Fire and Sword

Gratitude

I talk alot of smack and I am generally quite bitter, but I'm not feeling that right now. I am just feeling grateful. Grateful that I didn't have to pull my daughter out of raging water. Grateful that I know where my husband is. Grateful for everything we have.

If you haven't already donated for tsunami relief, here are some good places--

OXFAM They already had aid workers in the area and will work with locals to figure out what is most needed.

Mennonite Central CommitteeThis organization has a great track record of being good stewards of thir money. They do amazing work in helping people become self sufficient.

Note to self.....

DO NOT drink a tall cafe americano if you plan on sleeping in the next 24 hours.

Crappy Birthday to me!

Another suck birthday.

I am closer to 50 than I am to 20.

Somebody shoot me.

Strange Addiction

I think it is happening. I just wanted to try it, you know to see what it was like. I had heard people talking. Now, I don't want to stop. It is too good, too stimulating. It calls to me from across the room. I am addicted to BBC radio!!

Seriously, if you want to hear more than the gal of the week and angst filled whiner rock, check it out http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio there is something for everyone. I am currently listening to Craig Charles sitting in for Phil Juptus on the BBC6 morning show. BBC kicks NPR's ASS!!!

How can I get such good PR???

Butterflies are lazy. Yeah, I know they are pretty and we all like the symbolism of some ugly thing crawling into a cocoon and emerging as something beautiful, but they are lazy.

We have a hummingbird feeder in the back yard. The hummingbirds flit in, take a few sips and whiz off to do important hummingbird business. Not the butterflies. The butterflies congregate and hang out on the feeder for HOURS.

Why does no one want to expose the dark side of butterflies? What do the butterflies have on US?

I think they just have a REALLY good publicist.
