So true and I can't wait to meet everyone of you!!!!

Taking a Bow... I'll Be Here All Week!

Insignificant Thoughts came to mind when I was asked, by the computer, to name my blog.  I thought for a moment and thought... really?  Who will read my blog anyway?  My thoughts are not significant to anyone anyway!  Thus... the name.

I have since realized that quite a few people do, in fact, read my blog.  I will take my bow now.  I know I put some random things on here, but my mind works that way.  A.D.D will get you man, and if you have a friend with it... it will suck you in the madness!  I just wanted a place to vent.  After all, it IS cheaper than a psychiatrist! Plus it gives me a place where I can share neat stuff with anyone that is interested. 

I appreciate all of you who do read my insignificant thoughts.  I have recently had someone print it out and read it to me... which.... it sounded FABULOUS!!!  And then this person went on to explain to me what it meant without question!  Not that they were right... but what can you do....life's to short to mess with that whacked up crap.

So enjoy my thoughts on paper and feel free to follow me... even if you judge me.  I welcome all audiences! (But remember man... "If you spend your life judging people, you have no time left to love them.")

There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. But omitted, and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves -- or lose the ventures before us

BAMM SUCKER!

I love to write with an attitude!  It cracks me up to put my thoughts into words and not worry about pissing anyone off.  It is a freedom I didn't have for about 13 years.  But I have it now!  I was thinking today about that.  Thinking about how I don't really care about stuff, but then I do.... and as confusing as that sounds, it holds truth.  Basically, if I don't really care about something then I am like... "who cares"... and I just roll with the flow.  But if something gets under my skin or rubs me wrong... it festers.  Then I get pissed, and then I turn vindictive.  Funny how it isn't always instantaneous, but gradual.  Hmm, makes me think my ex husband may not have been as stupid as I originally thought.  He use to always say I was vindictive. lol  But I learned to keep my head and my cool when things upset me and until recently I haven't had the opportunity to explore those hidden emotions.  I am just thinking one day they will pop out like a giant monster and scare the crap out of some poor unexpecting person that rubbed me the wrong way...  and then it's BAMM SUCKER!  Well... I guess they should have thought of repercussions before they pissed me off! LOL

One bad apple.....

Because I know you creep  (you know who you are)..... I have something just for you!!! (ain't I sweet)

"Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking.  There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the
only thing that's wrong is to get caught."

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!

And you are? 
Answer... nothing to me.

Less then Zero
With a capital Z.

Judge me through my blog,
Or whatever you want it called

Learning patience could be good
Not that YOU ever would

You crack me up with your young words of play
I laughed at that almost every day.

So one day you will understand
The way you treat your fellow man

And be left alone holding the bag
And I will smile at you, the old hag.

So..... put this in your pipe and smoke it!

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.  Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.  Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.  Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.  Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.  But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.  ~Buddha

Undeniable Power

Much as some of us fight it, our parents have a mystical hold over us, the power to affect our thoughts and emotions the way only they can. It's a bond that changes over time, but doesn't diminish, even if they're half a world away, or in another world entirely. It's a power we never fully understand. We're left only to wonder that when our time comes, what kind of hold will we have on our children?

Who am I NOW?

So, I'm pretty sure I am a loner.  As I get older, I not only like time alone... I search for it.  I like the quiet and peacefulness of it.  Weird....because I miss the hecticness (if that is a word) of a daycare and of kids running in and out of my house, and I think I genuinely WANT to WANT to have that, but somehow, the older I get the more I enjoy the quiet.  It's hard to except change in things, but even harder to except when it is occurring within your personality.  I have always been a people person... but I seem to enjoy it better in small doses.   Maybe it is an age thing... maybe it is a "stage" I am going through.  But I am ready to know exactly who I am again cause it is stressing me out!

Snap out of it!!!

Things aren’t always going to be fair in the real world. That’s just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. Rest of your life is being shaped right now. With the dreams you chase….The choices you make….and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time. And the rest of your life starts right now.

Matthew's Birthday

Matthew is my youngest and he turned 16 today.  I remember him wanting cake and mayonaisse for his birthday and being 2!!!!!  Was that really 14 years ago?!?!?  WOW... time just flys!  We went to the cheesecake factory and had his birthday supper after we shopped at Verizon and the mall.  We were tired... but this was worth the wait!

The final Round Up....... It's been a pleasure!!!

Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.

Awesome Quote

I heard this today and LOVED it....


Those who matter don't mind,
and those who mind don't matter!

OMGosh! We're outside! And there's crickets! SHADDUP!

Someone once said; 'It’s the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time.    Me… I just wanna live a life I’m gonna remember. Even if I don’t write it down.

Matthew got some Grandma time...

Who is this boy?

Last night my mom and her friends came to see the show.  Matthew was all excited that Grandma was coming and wanted to go too... All of Grandma's friends LOVED him.  They thought he was so sweet and thoughtful.  He carried camera bags and helped them down the steps, sat and visited with them.  One of her friends said,  "He has never met me before and he was just the sweetest thing!  I have never met a young man like that."  One of the other ladies said... "Have you met Tanner?"  On the way to the theatre, he even called his Grandpa Jimmy and his Aunt Sandy to thank them for his birthday cards.  Listening to him visiting to them I wondered... Who is this boy?!?!?

Being a child at home alone in the summer is a high-risk occupation. If you call your mother at work thirteen times an hour, she can hurt you.

Best Album of all time

Rock a Little

Stevie Nicks

Video of the day

Tanner and Katie perform at NOC
Katie is singing... Tanner is on screen left!

"Katherine Anne Porter once said; 'There seems to be a kind of order in the universe…in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.'"

Video of the day....

This is Katie's Choreography in action.  She is the girl dancing in the middle with her partner. 

Let me get a mental picture of this........

Clairee isn't scared of a mouse..... she is trying to get a mental picture of Ouiser and Owen..... I don't think she liked what she saw! lol

Don't Expect Perfection.... Cause You Won't Get It!

So my mom and her friends are all coming to the show this weekend.  I got her, what I think are, the best seats in the house and as the director... I SWEAR I have sat in everyone of them making sure the blocking was good.  Then, two of my oldests friends one of 27 years and one of 39 years... I KNOW right!?!?!   might becoming as well.  I could get pumped about that....  My kids are all coming to the matinee and some girls from the daycare are telling me they are coming.  I hope my cast doesn't rewrite the show this weekend! lol  I just sit back in the light booth and laugh because I swear it is a different show every night!     Last weekend M'Lynn tripped and said something smart about it... causing Shelby to laugh, and Truvy had to turn her around in the chair to face away from the audience until she composed herself... but the audience didn't help matters... they all laughed at them for losing thier composures!  Meanwhile I am thinking... "DON'T BREAK THE 4th WALL DAMMIT!!!" lol Theatre is like life... RAW and exciting! Yep... but you gotta love live theatre.... if you want perfection, go see a movie that has been edited that way.

Baby Food Roulette

One of our many games we played at the Hang out..... my counselors where so competitive with the kids!  Cracked me up!

This is Art!

Things are not always what they appear.

The calm before the storm.....

 

I am anxious to see where my thoughts take me...

Anxious to see where I land...

The boat that is overturned, slightly

and lays on a white stretch of sand.

Through the tall trees of Paradise

I can almost grasp a vine

But the earth beneath my feet turns fast

and soon I am running out of time.

Gravity pulls against me,

but I am to remain free to reclaim the life that I was born

And to get others ready

For the calm before the storm.

Proud of my girl

This week is Miss Oklahoma week in Tulsa at the Mabee center.  One year ago, I lived in a hotel with my family and endured this week.  It was stressful, hot and costly!  BUT, I was very proud of my daughter.  How many people can say their daughter had earned the right to be in the Miss Oklahoma Pageant.  Especially when we have NEVER done pageants.  This is a picture of her during that week.  But I am soo soo so glad we arent there THIS year! lol

That says alot....

Writers, especially poets, are particularly prone to madness. There exists a striking association between creativity and manic depression. Why are more creative people prone to madness? They have more than average amounts of energies and abilities to see things in a fresh and original way--then because they also have depression, I think they're more in touch with human suffering.

Funny thing is.... I had this poem published in "An Eternity of Bliss" in 2001. 
That says a lot I think......

Written about the OKC bombing April 1995.....

Sprinkles of Gray

Sprinkles of gray that cover over me...

won't lay to rest, the black of darkness

won't come to pass.

Dark circles in my mind

the light that flashes bright...

Can't hide the fog of disaster

in the words that love might.

Phases of laughter that's loud and painful,

sees the gray on my soul

touches me gently,

turning it to gold.

Moist tears that fall from my eyes

to be replaced by happy times...

and gray filled days shall come to pass

with no bitter lies

Vitamin D

Something is bothering me. I haven't figured out what it is.  I am not at all happy with it though, and if I could just pin point what it was I would purge it from my existance!  I am going to go sit outside and soak in some sun.  Maybe that is what I need.  Good old vitamin D!

Thoughts will come.....

So, I am having a NEW experience with an old subject.  Seems to be the theme of my life lately.  I am sure I will find my nitch... But I will reserve this subject for a later date... when I have had time to gather my thoughts... and when I don't care one way or another if I have to piss someone off to voice them... right now the verdict is still out.
