This week's special WW was inspired by the Lewis Carroll poem from his work, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872), called The Jabberwocky.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"


He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.


And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!


One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.


"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Whatisaw

Here's this week's Whatchasee one more time. So...what did YOU see?

Well, when I opened the email from Pamela... I went nutso and asked permission to use the picture in onw of the weekly games. Never did answer her question as to what I made of the picture. Seems like we were entirely on the same page though.....

The positioning isn't quite right and I see more of a bald eagle in the clouds, but this picture will suffice.


I think we made it way too easy, otherwise y'all are thinking much like me and THAT'S a scary thing!!

It's been HOW long???

Lately I've been seeing my friends celebrating their bloggy anniversaries and every single time I say... "I really should check and see how many entries I've done" or better yet "How long HAS it been?"

This morning, I noticed a very significant number on this, the 2 Cents blog. I figured, now is as good as any to start running the totals.

I started blogging in Yahoo 360 on October 13, 2005. This makes this past Tuesday my 4th year anniversary. I originally started blogging to work out some of the hurt from the last marriage and it has sense grown into something much much more. It's grown into 10 blogs on this one account that deal with many different topics. As a friend of mine once said "She's got something for everyone". Some of it's just junk and little shares, and others have a bit more meat to them. Either way, it's all me.

The blog numbers are substantial. Not as many as some bloggers (you know who you are), but definitely alot of writing.

2 Cents from a Chaotic Mind has reached it's 500th post as of last night at 9pm.
Life's A Stitch (the Jokes I get in emails): 341
A Journey to Parenthood: 15
Styx Picks (the American Idol/Music blog): 71
The World Can Be Amazing (the home page): 323
Inspirationally Speaking (another blog started in the necessity to clear out the emails): 38
Craft Corner: 9 (I really need to add to this one)
Archived 360s: 124
Memories:1
and finally, the one that really needs more entries, The Like a Phoenix blog (which I often call the Padded Room): 45

For a total of 1,467 entries. Well 1,468 if you count this one.

Alotta words. Not much content. What can I say, deep thoughts give me a migraine. I'm hoping to rectify this someday. Heh. Maybe I should add it to the Bucket List...

**** Be more profound.

Yeah right, I see that happening. Especially with everything going on in my life.

Truck in the repair shop for 4 weeks in a row. It got so I threatened to draw up joint custody papers for her because she obviously LOVES her mechanic. The last time we brought her in, the poor dude nearly had heart failure seeing us. Until hubby told him it was just an oil change. He said we were so wrong for messing with him like that.

Then us into the doctors (and him outta work) for 3 weeks in a row. My sinuses are outta whack and I'm on my 3rd course of antibiotics. I hate this because these last two... well they've given me a certain side effect that I won't go into. Just know it's uncomfortable for me. Hubby has an infection in the sinuses too, I guess. The dr never said where it's just that it shows up in the blood work. He has also been on his 3rd course of antibiotics. Seems to be getting better.

There is some good, however.

I've made a couple trips in August to places unexpected. If you have been checking out my Flickr stream, you'd know what I'm talking about. For those that don't, I made a trip to the military museum as well as the Battlefield. Not exactly my favorite places to be, but I was desparate to get out of the house. I did manage to get through both trips without any major melt-downs. the only problem I had was when we were in the Gift Shop at the Battlefield. It was a bit small with alotta people in it and nothing that I really wanted to look at (unlike the Shop at the museum, which had some jewelry and a couple porcelain dolls, on of which I ended up buying).

We had a vacancy show up in the neighborhood. Let's just say it's mighty peaceful nextdoor and it's been that way since August. No, there wasn't a weird smell coming from under the door but there certainly is one of those realtor lockboxes on the handle. I'm kinda hoping it stays empty until we get ready to move. Then all we have to deal with is the other neighbor's teenage girl who tends to act out now and again. Not often, but sometimes the music gets a bit loud.

I was searching online early Tuesday morning to see what's out there and found a few jobs that I'd be qualified to do so I applied to one. They called me yesterday (Wednesday) for an interview today around 330pm. Unfortunately, the job I applied to wasn't being filled at the time (well then WHY was it listed on your job site???), but we discussed the possibility of a different position. I'm kinda hoping I get it because I can wear what I want that way and won't need to worry about getting uniform shirts and making sure they're clean daily (this company only gives you 2-3 depending on how many hours a week you pull). Besides being able to wear what I want, I'll be working overnight and won't have to deal with customers. Don't get me wrong, I like people just fine...but I'm more of a task oriented person. Give me some freight, a knife and leave me alone and I'll be just fine, thanks. Put me on the floor and expect me to get a task done AND handle the customers at the same time.... not really condusive to a happy worker.

Here's this week's picture again.



And here's Whatisaw. Actually I was thinking more of the cute pooch from Red and Rover , but I couldn't find a decent enough picture of his profile.


holy crap, it's Wednesday already?

So sorry. I really had meant to have this up this morning. But yet again, time got away from me. Maybe I need to schedule a bunch of these so I dont have to worry....or maybe I need to write it next to the NCIS listing on my dry erase board which has my tv viewing habits listed....

*sigh*

Here's this weeks Whatchasee:


Come back around 9pm east time for the Whatisaw (which I'm delay posting right NOW).

YAY! It's SATURDAY!!!

Do you smell birthday cake?


Get One At - Cute Birthday Comments

Yep. We have another this week.

Happy birthday Yaya!!!!

Just to laugh

Got this offa Snappy Di's site and just had to share.





entry scheduled 10/6 to be posted on Thursday.

Whatisaw

Ok. Here's the Whatchasee one more time. Did you see anything in it? It was a bit more difficult because it's a darker shot....



How about if we turn it this way. Can you see anything yet? Awww come on....let that child out...I know they're in there!



How about if I play some music for you? .oO(damn, now I'm really datin myself...)



no? Maybe this song instead?



That's right! I saw Bert from Sesame Street.


Let's just be thankful I didn't see Lambchop up there because THAT would have prompted the Sherry Lewis theme... *gigglez*

if you pray, please do

I'm a bit worried. Ok, honestly, events like this just reinforce why I don't like to leave my house by myself. Thank goodness hubby's home with me at this point. The apartment complex in question is no more than 2 miles down the road. It's in a location that I have to be, weekly, due to my drs appointments and shopping. Needless to say, I'm praying this situation is rectified before I go to bed tonight. I'm scared, Even WITH hubby home, because it's practically in my backyard.

Whatchasee?


You know the drill. Look at the pic, turn it whatever way you need to to see something (pop in come classical music if it helps to relax the mind and let the child out to play) and type in the comments Whatchasee. Tune in later tonight to find out Whatisaw.

In response to the stalking threat against Dharma

You see this sweet face? She's mine...all mine.

This was her reaction upon reading the entry over at Pop n Ice's blog...

Down. NOW.

As for the defenses in my castle, Indiana Jones has nothing on what I have. I've hired Shane Wolfe and that nice family that he was babysitting (complete with the killer duck). Shane's been so kind as to outfit my home with a similar defense system.

I can assure you, the Peter Panda Dance will NOT get you through what he has set up for me. If that and the duck don't stop you, then I assure you this will...

Happy Birthday Alice!

My favorite song these days



When I heard that she had a new album out, I was a little surprised... so I made sure to proof the cd in its entirety before shelling out the money for it. Why? Because she's never been a big favorite of mine. Oh, I like Whitney better than some, but if there are other choices... well I'll generally take them over her stuff any day. Well this new album of her's is absolutely wonderful. This song is one of my absolute favorites off this cd and it gets alotta play on my computer. Excuse the typos in the video, it's not my work (no matter what the name is hooked to the YouTube channel...odd....not mine but certainly looks like it could be!).



This post scheduled from October 3rd.

Warm spot



Gotta love cats, they have such personality. I've had so many kitties, that I think I've seen almost every trick in the book at least once. There were a couple we had when I still lived back home that did this. The momma cat, Brandy, loved to get up and across anything you were doing. Her favorite spot, for some odd reason was on the accordion case,and lying across mom's music. Her daughter, Whiskey, has a great indicator of cold temps. Just before it would start getting cold, she'd take up her customary spot right across the floorboard vents in the livingroom because they were the warmest spot in the whole house during the winter. Neither her mom, nor her big brother Boo (a 15 pound yellow tiger), could get her to move from that spot and if they were there and she wanted the spot? She'd carry on until they moved. Heh. The runt of the litter, and SHE ruled the roost!

A Woman's World



I simply adore these little shorts that they do. They've got 14 of them so far and each one's made me LOL! Their latest installment, Congratulations, is a little rougher to take, cosidering what a few of us are going through, but it's still funny nonetheless. I know I've had it happen a few times before. There was this one dress that I particularly like wearing simply because it hid how fat I was. It accented the belly a bit and as a result I passed off as pregnant instead of fat!

Anyhow, how many of you have used the above excuse to avoid having to do the daily exercise?

*sheepishly raises hand*

It's Saturday again....

*crawls off to be alone with her Nyquil and comforter ~sneeze~*


Seriously, I'm feeling a bit better and am thinking that it may have been a small sinus infection with a light case of the flu. However, the Nyquil helps me sleep through the night.....
