Sunday

Don't they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions? Well, I am paving like crazy. I try to be a good blogger, but really, I sort of suck at it. I blog because I think it is good for me to try to express myself somewhere. But when I get ready to actually write, I am really dull!
A few things I am really liking right now.

I am reading "Wild, Succulent Women" by Sark. For years I really did not like her for absolutely no reason. Seriously, I hadn't read any of her stuff, but just disliked it. AS best as I can figure, her handwritten style was hard for me to focus on, and was very distracting. Maybe I grew up. But I am really enjoying her right now. She is completely woman centered in this book, but that is what I was looking for. Anyway, so sorry , Sark, I have seen the error of my ways.


I love Pink. Yes, the color, too, but really the singer. She is smart and funny and can sing live and not suck. There was so much hoopla over Taylor Swift's off key performance, but what is new. She is always really off key, live. She is not alone in that. I think there are very few musicians who sound good, consistently, singing live. Pink can. The Dixie Chicks can- Natalie Maines never misses a note. Brandi Carlile is also fabulous live, and on key. Taylor Swift appears to be a smart, talented, charming young woman. She writes her own songs- ALL of them. That is great. And she has had phenomenal success speaking to young women and girls.

But back to Pink. I love her.
Go watch this.So What, by Pink
If it doesn't work just go to youtube and search for Pink So What.

I am sort of the family ne'er do well. I have worked all my life, just ekeing out a living. The rest of my family has money, but I do  not. Before Christmas I was working 4 jobs, one of which was full time. And it was a seasonal one, so I was furiously job hunting again. Friday I got a new, temporary job, which is actually perfect for me. I work at an RV park in the summer, and I love it, but it isn't summer yet, and I was in a pinch, so now I have a 3 month, minumum wage job, but it will get me through, and I still work one good paying part time job. I will be fine. And then in the Fall, I am going to grow up, at 50, and go to school so I can support myself well.

And I love Brandi Carlile. Every thing she does is perfect. And if you go see her, you will love her even more. She has mad talent.

I started new meds, and man, I need a nap. The old ones caused insomnia, but these are knocking me flat. Since in the new job I have to get up at 4 a.m., I hope I acclimate to the new ones soon. Do not want to fall into the fish stick machine.
