Never forgotten. Always remembered.

Do you remember?

Would I go back and fight for my country? Yes! I would.

Antsy.

Z-man is going in for his consultation today. I am still awake. I read a short "Plum" novel, but I am antsy. It's all paperwork, and a review of what's to come. Bah!

I'll probably be completely covered in splotches of red rash before the days end. Stress and I don't play well together. No worries. I will plaster on that smile of mine so Z won't notice a thing.

Sigh...



I hear you loud and clear Chuck!

How about giving our readers a better view of what we are up to?

What's that Chuck?

You think it's a good idea?

OK.

Obviously I did not trash my computer. That is an image of what my mind feels like.

I have good news, bad news, and of course the ugly. (Great flick if you haven't seen it. If you don't like it, keep it hushed. My Father loves the movie.)

Good news is I have shuffled the jobs and with a reward. I am no longer employed at insert name of blank (my move, not theirs.), and I am still at the "love of my life" job. Along with this good tidings bit is my possible move onward & upward. Crossing my fingers, and hoping it falls into place.

The bad. Well you saw the image above. I have a few projects I have been working on. One of them is making my skull want to crack. I want all three to be perfect. I think I might have to simmer at least one of them for now. Two of the projects have been ongoing and nudging me to the edge of insanity. (Thank you to my chum who swore he would assist and still has not for 1 of 2.)

I am on my own for the second. That is a private vendetta that I have to deal with. I may or may not share that one.

Ugly: No ugly here. I am beautiful no matter what they say.

Christina Aguilera - Beautiful lyrics

Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay


And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

Z-file:Breaking news!

Breaking news! Zachary declares that not all bugs are good bugs! A quote from Mr.Z-Man stated, "Bad bugs. I don't like that bug." Mr. Z would not elaborate for fear of discrimination charges. It appears that this once brazen youth has had a change of heart. Is it for the greater cause of insects and arachnids? We can only wait and watch as his genius for discovery grows. Stay tuned for further developments.

My little Entomologist wannabe has changed his mind over the course of one week. Let's see what could have possibly have changed my little bubbies mind. Could it have been the endless days (or so it seemed) of the Battle of the fleas? Perhaps it was his being the only one in a group of people to take on multiple mosquito bites even though Mommy made sure to put on protection. Or would it be that he is ultra sensitive to bug bites (the Docs diagnosis not mine)? I am not sure so let us examine other factors.

Ever hear of learned behavior aka monkey-see-monkey-do? My child Z (my bubbie or z-man as I sometimes call him) has been so observant. How sweet is it that he has watched unnamed children run squealing from bees and flies not knowing the difference between the two. I am tickled pink knowing that my fierce warrior of the spider world now cringes at the sight of a web. Why wouldn't I want my precious little man to explore and find things out for himself within reason. It's OK Z run away squealing with the other kids. Mommy loves you no matter what.

Mom and Dad do not let your children get so scared of bugs that it is crippling. Explain to them the different types of bugs if you can. If you need assistance look it up. What a great way to spend time with your child. Do you have a phobia regarding an insect or perhaps all of them? It is not genetic. You can be part of the problem regardless of what you think.

I AM part of the problem here. I was a flea vigilante and took any insect in general down. After so many days of dealing with bugs my tolerance for anything regarding zoology pissed me off.

Gone were the days of me sitting in the yard and letting the bugs go free. It's like they knew I was killing one of their kin. Thank God that Autumn is upon us. Otherwise I'd probably end up like the character in Gulliver's Travel.

So my mini me is no longer the Entomologist. Thanks to me, and numerous scared children, my baby boy is now an Endthemallogist. Don't bother looking it up. If you do find it, and it has to do with Z's anti-bug movement please forward the info.

Sweet dreams.

Checking in.



Yes. That's all folks. I have been super busy. I will catch up on blogs soon. Plus I have that "project" I have been working on. I haven't had a chance these past few days, so that needs attention too. I hope all is well and have a great day!
