My Very First Super Bowl Party...

Okay, two things...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE PERFECT PRESENTATION TO CONFUSE HOUSEHOLDERS

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. 

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

Gehenna.

So, you can accept or not what the locusts are bringing to you. Here's a program schedule for the Kingdom Hall, where you can come and learn more about the white pebble, the many beasts, New Jerusalem, new heavens, new earth, new commandment, new birth, new song, new creation, new personality, and the new covenant. Thank you for your time . . . Which is not to be confused with a time and times and half a time.

WHAT'S AMAZING IS....WE UNDERSTAND IT!!!!!!

Isn't it nice to know the "Pure Language?"

My Comment on a Whovian Voting Site

I was voting for the 2010 Best Of for Doctor Who & saw that the "Fans" were bickering over who was the best Doctor ever. *Rolls Eyes* LAME!!! Everyone will have a differing view. So this is the comment I left on the site.

"I came to the Whovian universe with Tom Baker & I was 4 years old. He is my Doctor, but I am totally enamored with 10 because of David Tennant. 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

 I like Matt Smith's 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 MS a chance. I can tell you this, If TB was on here to pick as best Doctor... Sorry MS & DT.

 I am a Whovian. I love the show & will keep watching even if they got Mel Brooks to play the Doctor. *breathes* Okay, I've said my piece.

 Goodnight all. "

First Month In Our New Home...

Okay, we did it! We moved out of the nest. I never thought we would but we did it!

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

Beautiful Men... Or Whom I see as such...

John Barrowman

Can you believe his eyes?!?!!! Too bad he is totally happy being gay!

David Tennant

Yes, the 10th Doctor (Doctor Who) is in my list too! Not gay & has a glorious Scottish brogue!

 

Anderson Cooper

*Sigh* The whole reason I love CNN... Not public knowledge if he is gay or not.

Charles Shaughnessy

Mr. Sheffield from The Nanny... Need I say more? I think not!

Mark Harmon

If you don't like him, you seriously need to be "Gibbs-Smacked"!

Richard Dean Anderson

Be still my young teen-aged heart! He was the Man when I was 13. I still like him 20 years later.

Richie Sambora

Can I get an AMEN!? Looks & guitar player in one?!?! *Faints* lol

Tommy Shaw

*Sigh* My fave Guitarist in the band Styx. We got to see them in concert & I swear my mouth had a mind of its own & shreiked: "Tommy! Baby!" To which he grinned in my general direction!

Jon Frances Bongiovi Jr. AKA Jon Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi front man. I tell you... He doesn't need a spotlight at his concerts. All he has to do is smile & his teeth light up the whole venue! ;-)

Okay, there are more but I really have to go to bed now. Good night & sweet dreams.

Sad-Happy Day... 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.

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!"

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.

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.

So, that is my update. Good night, sleep tight...
*HUGS*

Roger Waters - The Wall 30th Anniversary Concert

Wow! Roger Waters is still awesome!!! The guitars were blazing tone monsters! There were explosions, flying pigs, lots of lights flashing & more explosions!!! Woohoo!!!  I screamed for Snowy White, the main guitarist that tours with Waters. :-D He is sooooo cool! He looks so blissful while playing, instead of having a supremely "gassed out" face. LOL Anyway, he is such a good player. Graham Broad was on the drums & was excellent as usual. Such good musicians!

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!

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!

Why 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.

Thanks! :o) *Hugs*

Mixed 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!

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.

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!

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.

This is a big scary step, but if we don't take it we will never grow.

Feelings...

No, I'm not going to burst into song. I said I'm not! You can uncover your ears.

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...

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!"

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.

We had CSI going on in our kitchen! Woot! Oh, wait... This is scary!

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...

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!

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.

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)

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.

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!
*insert sarcasm here*

So, back to Feelings... No, I'm still not going to sing...

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)
