I couldn't sleep, again. So I was looking at memories on facebook and found a link back to my blog. I had forgotten all about it. So, this is my first post in about 5 yrs, or so. Update on my job, I now work at Home Depot, I have been there almost 2 years. I live in my own place again. A tiny studio apartment on the second floor. Still riding the bus to & from work. Anyway...<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just wanted to tell you all about the fun time I had on Tuesday night, after work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The story started several months ago when I was listening to REO Speedwagon, on my phone, at work. My co-worker asked me what I was listening to and when I told her, that sparked a conversation about our favorite album by them and our favorite songs by REO. She was grinning all huge towards the end of our conversation and she said: "You have no idea how happy I am to hear you right now!" I asked why and she said that she wanted to go to the REO Speedwagon concert in September and wanted someone to go that loved the band, as much as she did! Would I consider going? I jumped at that chance and said: "Oh Yes!" So she said she would let me know how much the tickets were and then she would get them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Several months went by and finally, September arrived. I asked Carolyn if she was able to get the tickets and how much did I owe. She said Yes, she got them and don't worry about the amount?!?!?!</div>
<div>
So I told her that I would have the money that Friday. Her reply: "I'm just thrilled that you are coming with me!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I got to go to the concert, had really good seats and didn't have to pay for them! The concert was so good! Tesla opened, they put on a good show but, they have a foul mouth! Then...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
REO Speedwagon took the stage and sang from the heart! They still got it! Kevin Cronin is still entertaining to listen to his singing and the things he has to say! They didn't do my favorite song, In My Dreams, but they did a great selection of their hits. Guitars were awesome and the voices were great!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/MoodyMal/videos/10207251442633066/">Take It On The Run - REO Speedwagon</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After REO left the stage, work began for the next band Def Leppard. They were amazingly good! Even better live than they are recorded! It was awesome to see the guitarists play and the lead singer still sounded great! The highlight though, was getting to watch their drummer tear it up! He only has one arm but plays like a beast! Also, he plays barefooted! XD My kind of person right there! lol</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/MoodyMal/videos/10207250954020851/">Rock Of Ages - Def Leppard</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, the concert started around 6:45pm and lasted until 11:20pm. At one point, everybody took out their cell phones to light up the venue! It was neat to see! We didn't get home until after midnight and I had to be up at 5 to get to work! I was very tired but it was so worth the lost sleep!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, that is all, for now. I will try to keep up on this thing in the future.</div>
<div>

Then got cleaned up & ready for service. Went out with Bros. Frazier, Otero & sis. Hubbard. I stayed out for 3 hours & then went to meeting. Excellent WT study.<br />
<br />
As we were leaving the KH, Bro. Frazier asked me if I was in a hurry to go home. I said No. Then he asked me if I like pizza! To which I said YES! lol We went to Native NYer Pizza, met up with Bro & sis Price & their daughter & grandsons. It was such a nice evening together! Got home a little after 9.<br />
<br />
So tired after a full day, was able to sleep & now I am getting ready for work.Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-27430409223425967612012-04-02T19:23:00.001-07:002012-04-02T19:23:48.393-07:00Long time since I have posted here.<br />
<br />
Let's see, here is an update on my life so far:<br />
<br />
I still have my job at Goodwill & I still love it. My truck needed a new tranny, so I sold it for cheap & have been riding the bus a lot. I got my own apartment on the 3rd floor & I love it! Trying to get the medical insurance from the state again. Gathering the paperwork & whatnot for the change report.<br />
<br />
Was way behind on Doctor Who, but I have now caught up & am waiting for new episodes.<br />
I hope to be posting here more often now. So, Don't Blink! <br />

I have been employed for a little over a month now. I work for Goodwill of Central AZ. My managers are great & I am liking my work. I get to talk to people everyday & see the "treasures" they find! I have several regular customers now who ask for me!<br />
<br />
I still do not have internet so right now this is going out to you from the aromatic Starbucks that is not far from home. :o) I will try to post more frequently, but if I don't, please bear with me.<br />

Been keeping busy with the job search & studying. I called the manager of one of the places where I had an interview. It sounded very promising & the manager told me that I would definitely be hearing from her on the weekend. Well, it is now Tuesday evening & I still haven't heard from her, even though I called yesterday & left my phone number, you know, in case she lost it. *Sighs* Oh well, I guess I am still without employment.<br />
<br />
In other news, my Uncle Ernie & Aunt Misty were evacuated from their home in Hereford, AZ because of the wildfire raging out there. So scary! The fire was visible from their back yard & the whole mountain behind them was in flames. I hope they can go back home soon.<br />
<br />
In better news, I am excited about our vacation coming up next week! :o) We are going to California to go to the District Convention with my brother & his kids. We are all looking forward to this trip. I miss my bro. so much! Then we are going to go to the Grand Canyon! I have never been there, so this is exciting to me! I hope to take lots of pictures.<br />
<br />
Speaking of pictures... I took a lot of pictures when we went to the Tempe Towne Lake & another lake that had a bunch of ducks & geese wandering about. I haven't uploaded them yet because my Photoshop program is not working. I uninstalled it & reloaded to no avail. It keeps crashing. I hope I can figure out the problem soon & get my pics posted on Flickr. Also, my Mac has something wrong with it, so I am accessing the Internet on my Toshiba Laptop, which doesn't have my pictures on it. I think that tomorrow I will get some of my pictures transferred over to this 'puter so I can post some of my better pictures here in my blog.<br />
<br />
So, I will probably post another entry in a couple days. <br />

<br />
Friday, I went to a group interview at Guitar Center & I feel I made a good impression, but there was a guy there that I think will get the job because he has experience in selling guitars. <b>>:(</b> I say: <i>"give the girl with a passion for beautiful instruments a chance!"</i> Who's with me? Seriously though, I did notice the main manager & the sales manager look at each other with a smile after I answered a couple of their questions.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I put in 4 applications to 4 different locations of Starbucks. I don't know if they will consider me at all for that field. I think I would do great in it, once I got the routine down. I learn fast & I like working with people. In fact, I put that on the applications.<br />
<br />
So, in closing, I'm great with children & I listen good. I view the preparation & presenting of meals as an artistic masterpiece to enjoy with the eyes & the palate. Does anyone want to hire me as their personal chef & shoulder to lean on?... Anyone..?Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-68747672257661538552011-04-22T14:14:00.000-07:002011-04-22T14:14:16.906-07:00Job Search...Bleh. One should get paid for searching for work! It is such a pain. Anyway, this is the first time I've had to do a job search. I have put in several applications to a wide variety of jobs & today, I received my first rejection letter! Wow! *<i>claps deliriously</i>* Yay Me!!! LOL<br />
<br />
Now I need to focus on getting some more apps out there. I am working on one right now that I have to fill out by hand! *<i>gasp</i>* They didn't have an online one, I had to print it out & then I have to submit it in person. Yay...<br />
<br />
So, I will let you all know when I finally get an interview & if I get a job. Hopefully it will be soon because my funds are running very slim right about now. *<i>rolls eyes</i>* Pitiful isn't it???Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-53915770127689195712011-04-04T22:08:00.000-07:002011-04-04T22:08:29.563-07:00Wigging Out* TonightFeeling a bit nervous & out of sorts. I'm having to fill out a new Advance Health-Care Directive & I have no idea who to name as my Health-Care Agents. In my old congregation I knew exactly who to pick. One was my mom & the main one was my best friend, Ray, who was our service overseer.<br />
<br />
I really am upset at myself for feeling so worried about this but, the brothers here don't really know me yet. A part of me wants to run back to NM where the congregation knows me & I know them. I feel like a lost scared little kid. This is completely illogical & irritating to be hit with these feelings.<br />
<br />
It is a strange feeling to have a best friend whom I could tell everything, anytime, anywhere, someone who really knows me & loves me anyway & then in just a few months have no one like that here. In fact, I am closer to some of my "internet" brothers & sisters right now & that really scares me.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping that aux. pioneering this month will help me to get to know my congregation here. I just know there are brothers, & sisters, who I can trust with my life if need be. I just need to find them. I need someone who can understand where I come from & who I am. I know Jehovah always provides exactly, No, he provides way more than what is needed. So I know he will help me find a friend sticking closer than a brother...<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for listening to my ups & downs. Although lately it seems to be a lot of downs. Hopefully that will change soon. Love you all! (((Hugs)))<br />

This is my first month that I am not worried about meeting the requirements & you know, it is kind of a relief. I didn't expect that because in my heart I want to get back to the full time ministry as soon as possible, but for now, this is the time to step back, regroup & get myself strengthened physically so I can pioneer again.<br />
<br />
I have turned in my application to auxiliary in April. I am aiming for the 30 hours. My sisters & my niece want to join me in that. We are all excited! I figure that this will give me a chance to get to know the congregation better & get into the groove here. I have my first talk in the school here, next Monday night. I am nervous & have no clue who my assistant is! lol I will be hunting her down on Sunday.<br />
<br />
I am back on the medicines that help balance my mood & help control the migraines. So far, so good. No migraine since Friday. Yay! Hopefully that will continue to be the case. I'm also hoping that the meds will help with my anxiety, so I can get a job soon. Because right now, it ain't happening...<br />
<br />
I got weighed at my doc appointment & I have lost another 4lbs since January. That is a total of 10.5 in the last 2 months! :-D The only down side of that is my jeans keep falling off & my belt is still packed in boxes somewhere.<br />
<br />
I am hoping to get back to doing some artwork. I love to draw & I have missed doing it. I also want to spend some time doing photography. I love shooting sunsets, animals & just plain interesting things that catch the eyes. I want to capture the perfect Arizona sunset as I have already got the perfect New Mexico & the Texas ones. I also want to learn some new songs on my guitar that I can play with my niece & nephew.<br />
<br />
My nephew is happy because I told him to get up early on Fridays & I will drag him out in service with me & my sis Gloria & possibly my niece too. Not only will that help him, it will help & encourage me too.<br />
<br />
So, tonight I am looking on life with a positive slant. I have a supportive household, family that loves me & medicines to help me realize that life isn't as bad as it may seem sometimes. I am enjoying a bowl of frozen strawberries & blueberries, I have four kitties I can watch play & cuddle two of them. A Puppy that loves me unconditionally & a computer with all my friends inside.<br />
<br />
So, I will close this here & head to bed but first, I am hugging my computer so all of you can know that I love you guys & cherish your friendship. *Hugs*<br />
Good Night!<br />

<br />
My heart is breaking at the thought of having to quit pioneering for a while, even though my brain knows I need to focus on getting my health better & gradually build myself up to pioneering again. The last 2.5 years I have struggled to make the hourly requirements & most of the time, I did not make it. I still had joy in the ministry but I felt bad for not doing as much as I used to when I started.<br />
<br />
In my old congregation there was an extremely strong pioneer spirit & I wanted to be part of that encouraging force. I was able to encourage two younger publishers to join in pioneering & the congregation as a whole was able to encourage a few others to join us in our joyous work. I was at my happiest but still dying inside.<br />
<br />
My background tells me that I am not worth anything & I should not be so happy. Life in general was pulling me down, tearing me apart. My home life was very difficult too. It got to where I knew I couldn't pioneer anymore, but I couldn't be at home. There were times that I took my Kingdom hall key, went to the hall late at night & slept on the couch on the stage, then I would leave really early before anyone came in for service. I just couldn't face being at home. I really didn't want to quit pioneering because I would have to turn in my key. That wasn't my only reason, but that is what I feared.<br />
<br />
When my sister started showing signs of needing to get out of our home environment, my other sister & her husband stepped in & opened their home to us, at first I didn't want to go because of my congregation, my family, that I would be leaving behind. I prayed about it & talked with my sister about her feelings & we decided we would do better if we left.<br />
<br />
We talked with our service group overseer & our service overseer, my best friend about our situation & what was available for us. Our buddy Ray, our service overseer, knows our situation & knows the pain in our hearts over our home life. He has even been there for me when I was sobbing & could hardly talk. He held my hand & cried with me. He truly knows me. He immediately said he thought it would be good if we got away, he asked some questions & then told me that if I need to quit pioneering for a while, there is no shame in that. The other brother is very dear too, but I don't think he really believed how bad things were at home, even so, he went ahead & agreed that it might be better to get away too.<br />
<br />
So we packed up our stuff & moved to another state, another congregation, another life. Jehovah was helping us with our decision, everything was falling into place, but it still scared me to death. Within a month, my sister started improving in her mental state. Physically though, we were very sick. We caught a bug from our parents & we have been sick every since. I am getting over the national avg. but not near enough to keep pioneering.<br />
<br />
I have been trying to get the state insurance program here & a doctor. In the process I am gradually running out of my medicines. Before I left home I was on an anti-depressant & anti-psychotic pills. I was having anxiety attacks & severe migraines. The two medicines together were taming both problems. Now I am just hanging here without my medication & both problems are back in full force. I keep having scary dreams & during the day I feel panicked inside & I want to run away. I have found myself crying for no reason, well, no reason that I am aware of. I have applied for a few jobs & one I even got an email telling me to come to a group interview, I haven't gone because I am scared to death! Those of you that know me, would know that working at Guitar Center is one of my dream jobs. Even with that, I can't do it...<br />
<br />
Today I made an appointment for a doctor to see me, the soonest they could get me in is the 24th of this month. I have no money for this appointment so my brother & sister are paying for it out of the house repair money. I feel so bad about that, but really, what can I do??? I can't get a job until these stupid panic attacks are under control. I just hope I can get a job...<br />
<br />
So, my heart wants to pioneer, my brains says I need to step back for a while & so does my body. I am missing my best buddy Ray & his wife Tory. They both have been there for me at my lowest & now I am without them... I'm scared. <br />
<br />
I am praying to Jehovah to help me get through this & to rely on him when I am feeling alone & afraid. I am aiming to auxiliary pioneer in April along with my two sisters & my niece. I am hoping I can do it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Anyway, I guess what I really needed to say is that I am scared & feeling alone & I need a hug. Okay, thanks for reading about my pain. I'm going to try and get some sleep now.Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-59964379307829419472011-02-07T00:41:00.000-07:002011-02-07T00:41:38.580-07:00My Very First Super Bowl Party...Okay, two things...<br />
<br />
One, I have been to Super Bowl parties before, but it was with a bunch of pokey women who were just there to see the commercials & two, this wasn't really "my" party. It was one we all were invited to.<br />
<br />
Our friends are dyed in the wool Pittsburgh Steelers fans. So they were decked out in their colors & had balloons, cakes & decorations all over the place. Their daughter & her husband came & the hubby was wearing the Green Bay Packers gear & he brought some cupcakes with their colors. The host acted like he had been shot to the heart & said: "How could you do this to me?!?" So some good natured teasing took place. <br />
<br />
Some more friends came & shock of all shocks, one of them dared to step foot in the Steelers domain with a "Cheese-Head" hat! All of us boo-ed & hissed at her! She laughed & said that she couldn't care less about either team, but she begged her boss to let her borrow the revolting cheese to freak everyone out! LOL So, our host went up to the "Packers" cupcakes box & took one out that was decorated with green frosting. He looked around slyly & then licked the frosting off & put the cupcake back in the box! ROFL All of us had a laugh over that, while we all said how gross he was.<br />
<br />
Oh you should have heard the whoops & hollers each time a good play was made or when something went wrong! There were shouts of disgust & shrieks of glee! There was dancing, waving of the "Terrible Towel" & plenty of high fives to be had. It was so fun because these people came together to watch the game, not the commercials! *Sighs* Football at its finest being watched by friends who love the game as much as I do. <br />
<br />
I like both teams that played on Sunday, but I picked the Steelers as the ones I would cheer. Oh well, all I can say is that they really picked it up in the last half & it was a good game played by all. I look forward to the next Super Bowl with friends.Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-57085133224526995452011-01-14T23:28:00.000-07:002011-01-14T23:31:03.624-07:00THE PERFECT PRESENTATION TO CONFUSE HOUSEHOLDERS<div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: x-small;"><div><div><div style="font-size: 12pt;"><div style="font-size: 12pt;"><div style="font-size: 12pt;"><div><div><div><div style="font-size: 18pt;"><div style="font-size: 18pt;"><div style="font-size: 12pt;"><div><div><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"> <div><span style="font-size: large;">Greetings, I'm a member of the great crowd of other sheep rendering sacred service to the Ancient of Days in the earthly courtyard of the spiritual temple by following the example of the Fine Shepherd and engaging as a pioneer in preaching the good news of the Kingdom with the sword of the spirit. We are helping to warn those not familiar with the Divine Name that the second presence of the Chief Agent of Life has begun, and soon the last days will reach their culmination when the scarlet-colored wild beast will turn on the harlot and destroy Babylon the Great, beginning the great tribulation which is climaxed by Har-Magedon and the ruler of the world & his stars, now in Tartarus, being thrown into the abyss for the rest of the last Adam's millennial reign. </span><br />
</div></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">However, anti-typical apostate Jerusalem with her man of lawlessness class is supporting the false prophet and fighting against the anointed remnant of spiritual Israel, the ambassadors of heavenly Jerusalem, and their envoys, who are keeping themselves without spot from the world and who would rather go to Sheol or Hades than reject the theocracy proclaimed by the faithful and discreet slave and the Governing Body of the spiritual paradise on earth today, which would result in</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Gehenna.</span><br />

Everyone will have a differing view. So this is the comment I left on the site.<br />
<br />
"I came to the Whovian universe with <b>Tom Baker</b> & I was 4 years old. He is <b>my Doctor</b>, but I am totally enamored with <b>10</b> because of <b>David Tennant</b>. I love his portrayal of the Doctor, I like the madness just under the surface. I love the playfulness & quite frankly, I love his hair! lol </div><div><br />
I like <b>Matt Smith's</b> Doctor too. I just think the writers need to keep from copying 10's antics too much. Each Doctor was different & everyone has THEIR Doctor. I say Give <b>MS</b> a chance. I can tell you this, If <b>TB</b> was on here to pick as best Doctor... Sorry <b>MS</b> & <b>DT</b>. </div><div><br />
I am a Whovian. I love the show & will keep watching even if they got <b>Mel Brooks</b> to play the Doctor. <b><i>*breathes*</i></b> Okay, I've said my piece. </div><div><br />
Goodnight all. "</div><div><br />

We moved out of the nest. I never thought we would but we did it!<br />
<br />
We all picked up some kind of virus or bacterial infection while unloading the shed in New Mexico. So we have been really sick since we got here. I've been able to attend a few meetings & the rest I have had to listen to on the phone. The congregation is lovely & there are plenty of pioneers to work with. The potential is great if I can just get well.<br />
<br />
I love having a dog & two of the 5 cats that love me. Two others will let me pet them but they do not come to me on their own. The cat runs whenever I come near. Oh well, he at least has stopped & sniffed my hand. Soon, I hope to pet him. :o)<br />
<br />
I have been cooking a lot more since I've been here & I love cooking. I also love being here with my sis & her family. I am gradually learning my way around the area & have been honked at twice. Life is good! lol<br />
<br />
We are heading back to New Mexico, to pick up the rest of our things, this weekend. The sister & her husband who 'adopted' me are having a goodbye thing at their house Saturday evening. I'm looking forward to it, but dreading it at the same time. I hate goodbyes.<br />
<br />
In the way of pioneering, this month is completely shot. But next month, I am going to really step it up. Actually, I'm going to step it up next week when we get back to Phoenix, AZ. I love pioneering & hope I can continue on into the paradise.Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-26803360347061775332010-12-03T01:35:00.000-07:002010-12-03T01:37:28.144-07:00Beautiful Men...

An Update of the Madness that is my life...One more day before we head back to Alamogordo, NM to pack our belongings & move to Phoenix, AZ. *Sighs* So nervous.<br />
<br />
Today I was so bummed because I am missing our CO & his wife's last visit with our congregation, our pioneer meeting with the elders & the dinner afterward. I still am, but we went to a brother & sister's place tonight for dinner & they asked if I had been to the meeting yet & I told them no, that it was the first weekend of January. They grinned & said: "Well, ours is the 18th of December, so come on over!"<br />
<br />
It is so exciting! They have already claimed me & are thrilled at the idea of a new pioneer in their congregation. :o) *happy sighs* Jehovah always provides the comfort needed.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Friday morning we are driving back to Alamogordo, NM to get our needed items & other stuff. We will need to make another trip later to get the rest. Just the thought of this is overwhelming. I know this move is for the best though. Especially for my sister. We need to keep relying on Jehovah & jump into this new congregation with both feet. We have already met several of the pioneers & elders. :o) That makes it a bit easier to face.<br />
<br />
So, that is my update. Good night, sleep tight...<br />

Wow! <b>Roger Waters</b> is still awesome!!! The guitars were blazing tone monsters! There were explosions, flying pigs, lots of lights flashing & more explosions!!! Woohoo!!! I screamed for <b>Snowy White</b>, the main guitarist that tours with Waters. :-D He is sooooo cool! He looks so blissful while playing, instead of having a supremely <i>"gassed out"</i> face. LOL Anyway, he is such a good player. <b>Graham Broad</b> was on the drums & was excellent as usual. Such good musicians! <br />
<br />
Unfortunately the crazy old people were smoking pot & others were smoking crack & methamphetamine . I had to use my niece's asthma inhaler after the show. These two 70 year old fans lit up right at the start of the show & continued to puff up until they were made to leave. They were so high they fell down the stairs! =O Stupid people!<br />

Okay, I gotta go sleep this off. I am feeling like poop right now. I'm coming down off the contact high & I have a migraine. We are going to listen to the meeting on the phone later today. Good Night Everyone!Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-30079488221731897572010-11-26T23:41:00.000-07:002010-11-26T23:41:03.974-07:00Why I post here...This is a place that I can express my thoughts & feelings. When these are for everyone to see, I will post a link on FB & twitter. When I don't want certain ones reading my posts, I only have them here. So, for my friends on Twitter & FB, I ask that you do not ask me things about certain posts at those two places unless I have posted a link to them first.<br />
<br />
Thanks! :o) *Hugs*Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-2568220380453452142010-11-25T21:56:00.000-07:002010-11-25T21:59:38.707-07:00Mixed Emotions... Wha..? No, It more like flat out FEAR...My sister & I are moving from our family home in New Mexico to our sister & family's home in Arizona. This is our first move away from the parental units & lets face it... We are both scared!<br />
<br />
Yes, my sister is 35 & I am 33 but YIKES!!! Seriously though, we need to get out from under the constant shadow of the parentals & learn to live. With us moving in with my sister & her fam, we will be more like roomies instead of children.<br />
<br />
I am really going to miss my beautiful friends in my congregation & the fun we had together. The congregation we will be in is also a great one. We will just need to adjust. I'm sorta frightened about getting a job at a place that is run by neither friends nor family. I have to learn to drive new streets & possibly *gasp* get on the freeways!<br />
<br />
We have been praying heavily about this & have talked to two of our closest elder friends. They have both said to "Go For It!" They know that we need our own identity & that we can be successful if we rely on Jehovah. Plus they know we need to get out to keep our sanity & keep progressing spiritually.<br />
<br />
This is a big scary step, but if we don't take it we will never grow.Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-15139741603678039942010-10-30T16:11:00.000-07:002010-10-30T16:11:23.426-07:00Feelings...No, I'm not going to burst into song. I said I'm not! You can uncover your ears.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Monday I went out in service like I usually do. It was a nice day until the wind started whipping my skirt up over my head & smacking my fellow pioneers in the face. So at 3 p.m. I went home. Allergies had moved into my nose & were making me miserable. I sat on our couch with my sister & mom. We watched the news & an episode of AFV (America's Funniest Home Videos) & then I asked my mom if she could drive me to Walgreens to get my medicine. So she did...<br />
<br />
Being forever grateful at this service, I offered to buy some wings at Pizza Hut for dinner. It took forever. Finally we got the wings & started eating. We finished & went home. I unlocked our front door & stepped into the living room area. *Crunch* I stepped on what felt like glass on our new laminate wood flooring! =O So I rushed to the kitchen to turn on the light... *Crunch, crunch, crunch* When I had the light on I was faced with a floor full of safety glass from our sliding glass door. I stood there in shock & then said: "Oh My Goodness!" & then my mom came in and said: "Get back to the car, NOW!"<br />
<br />
We ran back to the car & told my sister to get back in. We pulled out of the driveway as my mom was calling 911 (emergency # in the USA). She told the dispatcher what we saw & they sent out three police cars. No sirens or lights. They came up to the car & told us to stay put while they checked out the scene. So we did. I whipped out my phone & started tweeting & posting to Facebook the latest info as it became available. The cops came back out & said they needed to take photos of the crime scene & they would come get us for a walk through in a bit.<br />
<br />
We had CSI going on in our kitchen! Woot! Oh, wait... This is scary!<br />
<br />
They came back out & had us follow them in for the walk through. Everything looked to be okay except for the broken glass door in the kitchen. So as the police were taking down info, I started cleaning up the glass on the floor in the living room. I got a box to put the shards & pebbles of safety glass in. I needed my knife to open the box, so I went to my room for my pocket knife...<br />
<br />
It wasn't where I had left it on my desk. So I looked around for it & couldn't find it. By now the realization was hitting me. The creeps were in MY room, the roamed through MY house, they saw, MY underwear!!! (I had two piles of laundry in my room, one clean, & one that needed washed) I was getting mad now & I couldn't find my bloomin' knife! I went to sit down & I noticed my German Watchtower & Awakes were scattered across my desk..??? I stared at them until I realized... Hey! My laptop is gone!!! So I went in the living room & blurted out to the police that the thieves took my laptop & my pocket knife!<br />
<br />
Anyway, the police finally left, assuring us they would be patrolling the area closely. That made us feel a little better, but my sister didn't want to sleep in her room alone & quite frankly, neither did I. So I moved her mattress into my room & I put my wooden baseball bat next to my bed. Then I went back to the kitchen to start cleaning up the mess. My mom called our service group overseer to let him know what happened. He said he would be there in about a half hour. He was on the road going home from a business trip. He told my mom to go to Lowe's or Home Depot to get some plywood & he would cover up the broken door as soon as he got back into town.<br />
<br />
My mom went & got my dad from work & they went to get the plywood & a shop vac to clean up the glass because we discovered that glass is HEAVY! So I just swept up the glass in the living room & then my sister & I sat in my room huddled together & we both jumped in the air when the phone rang. It was the brother's wife calling to check on us & to let us know that her hubby would be there in a little bit. *sigh of relief* Elders truly are a heavy crag in an exhausted land! (Isa. 32:1, 2)<br />
<br />
So, our door got covered, the glass got cleaned, my mom discovered her digital camera was taken too, we all got hugged & then we had our first night in our house after the break in. I patrolled the house every hour with my bat raised & ready for "business". I didn't really sleep until first light on Tuesday & than I slept until 12! =O I was so tense & sore when I got up. So was my family.<br />
<br />
We are gradually getting back to our routine & I hope sleep will get better too. Meanwhile, I have to search the net for a comparable laptop so the insurance can replace it for me. Yay! Fun!<br />
*insert sarcasm here*<br />
<br />
So, back to Feelings... No, I'm still not going to sing...<br />
<br />
We all feel as if we have been violated. Our personal things were sifted through & our home invaded. I am really at a loss as to what to feel besides anger & a creepy scared feeling. We talked about it & we all were relieved that none of us were home when this happened & we agreed that stuff can be replaced, lives can not. We are grateful to be alive & serving Jehovah! :o)Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-53055758725561678832010-10-07T12:38:00.000-07:002010-10-07T12:58:48.622-07:00This Here is Whovian Madness...Okay, last night I logged on to my sci-fi info twitter account to see what's going on. All the David Tennant Whovians were all a flutter because their "man" was going to be on the Absolute radio morning show with Christian O' Connell. So I asked when & they said any minute & that we could email or text the DJ to ask questions or to say Hi to David.<br />
<br />
So, being the sensible, logical soul I am...<br />
I immediately got on there & emailed Christian asking for a shout out to the Fan Girls in America. LOL<br />
<br />
Well, my radio wasn't streaming right so I missed it when he said Hello to the Fan Girls in America, especially when he said Malanie in New Mexico!!! When I got back on twitter all the fan girls were "squeeing" in delight that I was named on British radio! :o) I wanted to stay up to hear what David Tennant had to say but with the 7 hour time difference I was dropping off at midnight. Then the DJ announced that David would be on in two hours!?!?!?!!!<br />
<br />
*Sighs* I informed my new found cheer team that I had to go to bed. They told me that they were recording it & would send the link later. So, that was the Whovian Madness that I was in last night. It was fun & I was kinda excited to get a shout out from London. I heard today that David Tennant also gave a shout out to all of us in America. :o)<br />
<br />
Yes, I am a GEEK and proud of it!<br />
<br />

We spent 3.5 hours in rural territory, helping out a congregation that has a vast territory to work. Their territory covers most of Lincoln County which consists of over 4,000 sq miles. We had to drive quite a bit to get to our assigned place to work. We also were assigned another car group of happy pioneers & strong publishers to lead us into the unknown(for us). So 8 of us sallied forth to our "huge" territory. We as a group completed two loooooong roads in the territory. Most of the houses were not at homes & we were instructed to write down everything & leave older magazines in the door. So we were on the lookout for addresses, names or other information that could help the local congregation to either find the householder or write to them later.<br />
<br />
We did find some people home. We got the usual "<i>Not Interested</i>" response from most. Then we went on to the next house. We didn't drive in because of a huge <b>NO TRESPASSING BEWARE OF DOGS</b> sign. Plus the place didn't look like a house. It looked like some kind of compound. So we were looking for an address to write down when we noticed they were flying an Israeli flag along with a USA flag. We found that interesting because that is not something we see much of. A man came out of the 'compound' and was walking along the fence looking at us. So my mother rolled down the car window & started talking to the man. She said: "We noticed the Israeli flag & found that interesting." The man kind of laughed & said: "Yes, but I will tell you something even more interesting... I am a Muslim from Turkey. The home owner is a Jew." So my mother asked him if he was just renting & he said no that he was a house guest there! Just about then a big man with a long pony tail came swaggering over. We expected trouble. He was the home owner.<br />
<br />
So my mother started discussing with both men that it was obvious that they were peace-loving & that the world isn't. They agreed & stated that according to the world they should be enemies but they are friends. My mother than pointed out that a lot of the trouble in this world is brought about by religions. They both agreed and said that most religions do not agree with "the Text" or the Bible. Both men have read it & they have discussion about it & their religions with each other.<br />
<br />
My mother offered them both the Bible teach book & they both excepted it & agreed to read it along with their copies of the Bible!!! =O My mother & the Jewish man exchanged emails & he said he would keep in touch. Both men were very nice and very open to the truth. We can hope & pray that their hearts are reached.<br />
<br />
That was the highlight of the day. We had many good experiences & I may post some more later but at the moment I am suffering from a brutal migraine & sick stomach. So I will end this post now & come back tomorrow or the next day.Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710764674418928480.post-32482257870785972432010-09-25T21:34:00.000-07:002010-09-25T21:34:32.805-07:00Vivid dreams of Utter Nonsense...Okay, Megzy posted about her strange dreams & it got me thinking about some of mine. Most of my dreams are really nightmares that I don't remember. I just wake up scared outta my wits. So when I get a crazy, funny one... I love to remember those.<br />
<br />
So here is one of them...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh53ejQqPP9LrFOsQeffN997fXjv2lWPAn_jiPxCv5pOsc_6yBZ5ruXJG36VOfz1_Cc_Pk-0IPhlaAWAlHGm_RSRptPD3sEHNNEq0ef20JddkleLd_bSazwt24F1BNLSuVbiEnI1Cc-JXvr/s1600/JustHaywardRAH2000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh53ejQqPP9LrFOsQeffN997fXjv2lWPAn_jiPxCv5pOsc_6yBZ5ruXJG36VOfz1_Cc_Pk-0IPhlaAWAlHGm_RSRptPD3sEHNNEq0ef20JddkleLd_bSazwt24F1BNLSuVbiEnI1Cc-JXvr/s320/JustHaywardRAH2000.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I'm at a concert of The Moody Blues, my fave band, & I am in the back of the auditorium because I am a poor pioneer & can't afford front & center tickets. I start waving my vintage <b><i>1967</i></b> vinyl album of their's in the air, hoping that <i><b>Justin Hayward</b></i>, the lead guitarist & vocalist, song-writer extraordinaire, would notice me. Well, he does!!! He smiles & gestures for me to come up to the stage, but the crowd will not let me come forward. So he gestures again for me to throw my album like a frisbee to him so he could sign it for me. So I did...<br />
<br />
The album left my hand with a perfect spin, soared right over the heads of the crazed audience. I saw, with horror, that it would be going right over Justin's lovely blond hair! At the last possible second, he leaped up off the stage with all the grace of an antelope, stretched out & caught my treasured vinyl LP in his teeth!?!?!?!<br />
<br />
I started laughing in my dream & I woke up still laughing! All in all, a good dream to remember because when I told my sister, she almost busted a gut laughing too. So remember, when a dream makes you laugh, spread the fun around!

I am a 33 year old Jehovah's Witness who loves the pioneer ministry. I am an artist & a frustrated musician. I write poetry & short stories. I am a lover of all things Star Trek & Doctor Who. And... I miss riding my skateboard immensely!!!<br />

</tbody></table>I am the baby of six kids. Three boys & two girls were first. The third boy is sleeping, awaiting the paradise. My oldest brother (48) has nothing to do with us, so I don't know much about him. My next brother (47) is a JW who pioneered for a year, went to the pioneer service school & declared it the "Best Year of His Life!" He has two kids, a daughter (16) who is a continuous auxiliary pioneer & a son (9) who is an unbaptized publisher. My oldest sister (42) is a JW who also pioneered, a few years & then went to the pioneer school. She has two kids, a daughter (20) who is an unbaptized publisher & hoping to be baptized in Nov. & a son (15) who is also an unbaptized publisher. <a href="http://glassich.blogspot.com/">My next sister</a> (35) is a JW and auxiliary pioneers a couple of times a year. Both of my parents (67 & 66) are JW's too. So, this is my first post. I hope you enjoyed reading a little bit about my family. I will be posting some of my poetry & one of my short stories eventually. Keep tuning in.Whovian Trekkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07739752111236732957noreply@blogger.com2
