thanks for the votes. love, praise, and blessings to you always!!

A wise woman once told me: "No matter who you are or what you do, you'll always have both people who love you, and critics who don't. Don't let the praise go to your head, or the harsh words go to your heart. Stay true to yourself, and the ones who love you most, and you'll be successful in whatever you undertake." Just a thought for your Wednesday. Hope all is well! Votes are in.

Hey how are you doing this Wednesday? Sending you a thought for the day: True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. Vote is in!

It's been a LONG day. Cats woke me up before dawn...ran errands, still fighting a migraine. Persephone of the Cast-Iron Stomach ate most of the bite size cookie and cream mini cakes I bought to serve at the self-defense lecture I'm hosting Friday. Don't panic...she's eaten much more toxic things. Like acne cream. Uncovered a treasure at Goodwill - a very old copy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The world wide beliefs on life, death and rebirth are always fascinating...looking forward to reading it. Also found a satirical book on the zodiac. And, there's a perfume vendor in my local mall right now, utterly convinced he mixed a custom Nag Champa perfume for Lady Gaga. I'm relatively certain I should just start listing that common error on my resume. Fine...Gaga and I look a lot alike, by pure coincidence. Expect my application for the celebrity look a like call to be filed tomorrow. Stopping by to say hello, and offer hopes your day was awesome. Voted.

Another Irish quote for you on this Tuesday: A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Now that is very True! Your vote is in.

Here's a thought for your Monday: "If you think you're normal - You're CRAZY." Have an amazing Monday! Votes are in!

On this Monday I pass on a wise thought my Irish grandfather told me a long time ago: Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it. Certainly applies to life! Your vote is in!

I just voted for you and hope you get the part(s) so good luck with everything!!

It's going to be beautiful all week, and no outdoor work. Send me a kite!

There's nothing like the warning labels on "idiot proof" objects. One of my stocking stuffer presents for Christmas was a petty bottle of lavender-vanilla hand soap. I set it in my bathroom without a thought. That is, until, after company had come over, and the bottle had gotten turned around. And, there it was, in all caps: THIS IS NOT FOOD. DO NOT EAT. The saddest part? You know that warning is there...because someone's done it! Cue: dismay. Have a great day! Voted!

On this cold rainy Sunday I pass on something I learned a long time ago: Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t! Your vote is in!

Okay. I have a question / observation after a couple months here. After sending a lot of messages here: Is there a glitch in the "human verification system," does it know I'm not human, does one plus one no longer equal two...or am I genuinely too dumb to add single digits? I get an error every time I send a new message. Hmm. Have a great day! Votes are in!

Facts: Every family on Earth is dysfunctional. And, everyone thinks their family is craziest. Here's my entry in family lunacy: The time is 9:00, New Years Eve. The hoard of children are bored of their zombie shooting game. What next? Naturally...the old childhood game of cops and robbers becomes survivors versus zombies. Makeup and all. After all, what new year can truly start unless you've been tasked with impersonating a zombie? And, as the artsy one...my task was, assemble cardboard stage, assign harmless weapons, do makeup I can easily clean later, lead my zombies, and recruit a cousin to lead the survivors. This was live action Left 4 Dead, and my job was to portray a special zombie who cries to let you know she's in the area. You tell me: were my tears and wailing an act, or insanity setting in, and the wails real? New Years' check list: impersonate a zombie to entertain a bunch of kids/teenagers...check. Haha! TGIF! Votes are in!

It's Friday so relax and enjoy your weekend with this in mind: The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat. Vote is in!

:) we have the same casting calls applied ..voted!

Recipe for a lousy night of attempted sleep: take one gigantic housefly, buzzing at the volume of a 747. Add three enthusiastic, but utterly inept feline bug hunters. Result: after eight hours of attempting to sleep through the fly's buzzing, the stampede of pursuing cats, and very, very loud, "ICK, ICK, ICK!!!" noises from Persephone in stalking mode with the occasional bang of a cat running into something...I finally got up. Today's mission: run my errands...and outsmart that damned fly! I know it's cold out...but my required amount of sleep is more important than giving the bug a home. By a unanimous vote of four to zero, this fly has been evicted from the household. Have an awesome Thursday! Votes are in!

Thursday is the Irish day to send wisdom to your friends so here it is just for you: Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. Vote is in!

Dismay (n.): the moment you realize 20+ years of theatre has only taught you how to believably pass as "normal." Haha, have a great day! Votes are in!

Wishing you the best on this Wednesday with this thought: You don’t have to fear defeat if you believe it may reveal powers that you didn’t know you possessed. Now go get it! Your vote is in!
