766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 16,May,2003 | Gifts received I had the amazing experience of watching the lunar eclipse last night. I raised a glass to toast the great goddess before her face was hidden in the earth's shadow. I sat for about 35 minutes on my terrace with an awesome view of the whole celestial event. Even got my opera glasses out to get a better view. I had to wait 33 years to see my first lunar eclipse, and it was worth it. I also had an interesting thought this morning, while waiting for the rain to pass so I could walk the two blocks from the parking lot to my office. I forgot my umbrella at home. I realized two things; first of all, I remembered that old addage, 'Into every life a little rain must fall'. Believe me, its been falling for about 2 years now ~ but then I was reminded that, it doesn't fall forever. The rain passes soon, and life goes on. The other thing that came to me is this: While you don't have to be prepared for everything that life throws your way, you may have to be prepared to wait until it passes. Happy Friday everyone. Diva out. and one more thing... I recently heard that China is considering passing a law that if you are considered to be spreading SARS to others by going outside when sick, you will be executed. Not confined, not quarantined, EXECUTED. Sounds ridiculous, must be propaganda, right? Check this out ~ urlLink This is scary. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 12,May,2003 | Random Thoughts Good to Remember: Work harder. Worry more. Experience additional difficulty. Disagree with people. Feel fed up. Do you think you can manage at least some of the above? Its funny isnt it? We dont need to be told to do this kind of thing. We live in a world that more or less forces it all to happen. Yet we also live in a world that is full of grace, beauty and magic. Our lives are blessings. Our moments are gifts. Our futures are not destined to be full of drudgery. We can experience great joy and contentment at times. Heard in the office today: 'I don't want to freak you out, but Mike Tyson is eating the garnish off your banquet table on the terrace.' Otherwise, just another normal, quiet and uneventful Tuesday. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 12,May,2003 | Monday Feeling pretty good, for no good reason. Had a decent weekend; went downtown to Miami Art Museum and the Main Library on Saturday with my kids. It was family day at the Museum, which means free entry for families and activities for the children. It was a good day in all. Saturday was also the May Day project. It started bad and ended bad. My camera eats batteries at a ridiculous rate. I was able to click off 6 pictures when the newly bought batteries gave out. I was short on cash, so was unable to get more batteries. You can see my pathetic attempt at my urlLink May 10th Gallery . I'll try to be better prepared for the next project. Sunday was uneventful. Picked up the little divas from their grandma's house; they had roses and a card for me. It's just always nice to pick them up after being at grandma's all weekend (every weekend). They're so happy to see me after two days away. I sometimes wonder if I'd ever get such a warm welcome otherwise. Off to get more coffee, with thoughts of New York in my head... will be travelling north soon. More on that later. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 09,May,2003 | urlLink Happy Friday Everyone! 1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not? ~~ Relatively organized. I live by the rule: A place for everything, and everything in its place. 2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly? ~~ I do have an organizer, and update it whenever something new (bill, event, etc) comes up. 3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now? ~~ Hmmm... orderly disorder would best describe it. 4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter? ~~ No - can't be bothered. I'm not anal or anything! 5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize? ~~ My life after my divorce! Weekend plans are beginning to form. Last weekend I walked 4 miles across a causeway connecting Miami to Miami Beach. Very peaceful walk, and I plan to do it again this weekend. Also want to check out a new Wine & Champagne Bar that just opened up on the beach. I'll let you know how it all turns out ~ Have a great weekend! One other thought before I go... someone commented this morning on how quickly the days are flying by. We're already to the middle of May! But then I considered this: time does fly, and before you know it this year will be over, and so will the next ten that follow this one. That is why we must make every day count for something. Otherwise, just let them fly by. If you can't be bothered to make this one count, why should you care about the next one? Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 05,May,2003 | Not a family bed! I don't know how they do it. I'm friends with a married couple that do that whole 'family bed' thing. You know, the WHOLE family shares one great big bed. Mom, Dad and all the kids cozied up together. Well, I am definitely not one of those people, and I certainly do not have a great big bed. Unfortunately, my children do not understand this. I've gotten used to the 4 year old climbing into my queen-size bed with me maybe 3 nights out of the week. But last night, my 10 year old daughter crawled into bed with me around 2am. I was like 'Uh-uh! what do you think you're doing?!' She had a bad dream and I reluctanly gave in with a sigh. But then, about an hour later the other one crept in as well. So there I was, sandwiched between the two of them. Do you have any idea how wild a child sleeps??? Hands flopping everywhere (mostly across me), legs kicking (mostly my legs) and hair falling where it may (mostly on my face!). When the alarm sounded at 7am, I said in my cheeriest morning voice, 'That's it. Everybody out! Get up!' After yesterday's sleepless night, this was just one more sleepless night. I may have to learn how to function on 4 or 5 hours of sleep at a time. Oh, how I need a nap! For now, I'm off to get another coca-cola... Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 05,May,2003 | MoNdAy And, of course, I'm feeling out of sorts. My littlest diva turned 4 yesterday, and MIL threw a nice 'little' party for her. We ended up moving the party to the park, since we were expecting 21 adults with their children. And this is just her immediate family! Gotta' love those tight-knit Latin families. Had the excrutiatingly unpleasant experience of sharing the party with DBD and B&B. Yes, he brought her to the party, after all she pays for everything he does and has, so she may as well come along. I was very surprised at how soothing chanting can be. 'OM' helped me through the day, and eventually I just forgot about her and had a great time anyway. I would like to think that my apparent ease and comfort at the party really bugged her. I still have some work to do on digging out my little anger seed in regards to those two. I didn't sleep well last night, but it had nothing to do with that. The party exhausted me - it really was a fun day - and so I should have been able to sleep. I was doing pretty good until 4am when something shattered downstairs. Sounded like a plate-glass window was completely shattered. The noise startled me out of a pretty good sleep, and then the train passed by, and soon every little bump, shuffle, and sigh kept me awake. Around 5:30 I considered getting out of bed, but decided to give it another try. I was really close to sleep when the train passed again - it does so every half hour starting at 4:30am. I did finally get back to sleep, just in time to get up. I almost cried this morning when I heard on the radio that the Metrorail will begin 24-hour service in June. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 01,May,2003 | Random Thoughts and Simple Joys Why is that, when I was in my twenties I could eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's every day, and managed to weigh about 20 lbs less than I do now. There's no Ben & Jerry's in my diet now, shouldn't I be magically rewarded for NOT indulging? Hmmm... maybe I should go back to my old habits... maybe not. Last night I was rewarded with a few simple joys - the ones in life that really count. First, while rocking the littlest diva off to sleep last night she was fighting sleep with all she had in her. But, of course, Mr. Sandman won in the end. But, during her valiant fight, I watched as her eyes fought to stay open... her eyelids fluttered shut and then opened wide, just to fall half-closed again. That simple flutter gave me such joy that a laugh started way down in my heart and rose up in my throat. Before I could help myself I laughed out loud and woke her up a little. Then, after putting her into her little bed, I sat down next to my older diva-ette for our bedtime chat. She was updating her calendar planner that I gave her for Christmas. I noticed a picture of Teddy Roosevelt on the bottom corner of a page, and asked her if she knew who he was. She hesitated, so I tried to give her a clue by asking if she knew what his job had been. Her lips sealed up tight, and then she said, 'Yes'. That was it, just 'Yes.' with this sly little grin. We both knew she had no idea, and that shared knowledge made me laugh. 'Liar!' I teased and tickled her. Filled her in on the minor details, thinking that someday she'll learn more about President Theodore Roosevelt and, hopefully, remember our little exchange. Those are things to be treasured... the flutter of an eyelid, a sly little smirk, a shared secret. That's what makes my life so cherished... good thing I'm such a simple girl. With all my troubles and worries that I have, I'm still one of the richest people I know. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 26,June,2003 | Wise words First of all, let me say that I totally dig the new blogger look. It will be interesting to see how many bugs are included with the new look. Now, for those wise words. And from an unlikely source. There's this song on Radio Disney, I think by Hilary Duff (all parents reading this right now know EXACTLY who and what song). This very young and not-very-world-weary child sings this wisdom into my ear at least twice a day, and I can't help but wonder who actually wrote it. 'Why not take a crazy chance?... If you miss a moment, you might lose alot; so why not?' Pretty much describes my whole outlook on life. But then, I'm more upbeat and carefree than most grown-ups I know ;) Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 25,June,2003 | And the other little diva I've learned that my other daughter is in Atlantic City today. I'm working. She's in Atlantic City. She's 10. Am I the only one who finds something wrong with this? Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 24,June,2003 | Ouch! Still on the theme of sainthood, I think I earned my wings the other night. After having been outside for about 45 minutes and playing with a few neighbor kids, I politely informed my littlest diva that it was time to go inside. 8:15, time to get cleaned up and ready for bed. She, being the wonderful and adorable child that she is, immediately turned into a wild, screaming and scratching beast in protest to my unreasonable demand. I ended up carrying her off like some deranged and rabid animal, with her digging her fingernails into my shoulder and raking them across my shoulderblade and down the back my arm. So I did what any loving and patient mother would do. I dropped her. Not carelessly or violently of course, but I placed her on her feet by my side, and took firm grasp of her arm as I lead her inside. She continued her protest by screaming and crying - you'd think I had scratcher her . After giving a lecture on the importance of listening to Mommy, I decided it would be prudent to wash my newly acquired stripes with a little hydrogen peroxide. Just to be on the safe side. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 24,June,2003 | The Saintliness of Diva When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I alternately wanted to be either an artist or a nun. No kidding. Some days I would make drawings, create little picture books, and doodle endlessly with the idea that one day I would use my god-given talent to create great works of art. Other days I would drape a towel over my hair and, instead of pretending it was long flowing locks, would imagine myself in a nuns habit. I wondered how I would look as one of gods servants. I wasnt even Catholic. Of course, it never occurred to me that I could possibly do both be an artist and a servant. Some people figured that out and created great works of art devoted to their faith and religion. I guess it just wasnt meant for me. These days, I dont paint or draw. Although I've got plenty of servitude going on while I'm raising my children. And believe me, there are plenty of days when I achieve sainthood, simply by not killing them during those more trying times. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 20,June,2003 | Munday again Well, I survived the weekend with my 4 year old diva-ette. It's really hard work to keep a four-year-old entertained. We accompanied a friend to the salon, walked over to grocery store for a snack, had lunch at Denny's (an adventure all on it's own!), went to the park, then the pool, where we got rained out. All of this was before 4pm on Saturday! It was great fun playing leap frog with her last night before bed time. I need a nap. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 17,June,2003 | News I didn't get a chance to see my premier appearance on Deco Drive last night, but from what I hear I didn't miss much. No shots of the Diva, just the Wine Club itself. Which is fine because, after all, the Wine Club is the real star. And, in other news, I was informed last night that DBD has a job. Finally... a friggin' job. It doesn't pay nearly as much as he is accustomed to and he will continue to search for another, higher paying job, while he takes this one. Yeah, whatever. The way I see it, it sure as hell pays more than unemployment. And now I can be sure to receive at least one child support payment this year. Let's see how long he keeps this job. *sigh* And even more news, my oldest diva goes to New Jersey with her grandmother tomorrow. She'll be gone for two weeks, and will take a visit to NYC this Saturday night. I hooked 'em up at the same hotel I stayed at when I was there two weeks ago. Two weeks - has it been that long already? I want to go back again soon. Anyway, my little diva will have a good time visiting family in New Jersey, and I'll only have one littlest diva to care for while she's gone. I miss her already. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 13,June,2003 | Huge Success The Wine Club event was wonderful. I had about 89 guests show up, and most of them paid (12 comps out of 89 isn't too bad). I just love it when lots of people show up for an event; I turn into this super-human social butterfly. Shaking hands, smiling, welcoming everyone to the party ~ you'd think it was MY party. And in a way it is. I got to sample a really wonderful white wine from Spain last night - I carried my glassful around all night long, nursing it for over an hour. I'm taking a bottle of it home tonight if there's any left. I'm thinking a little sushi and a glass or two of the white wine will finish my week off quite nicely. I even got to do a TV interview last night. That's right, I've graduated from print to television. I'm not quite sure how its going to turn out and I'm not sure I want to see it when it does air. We'll see... that may be my limit on those 15 minutes of fame. ;) Heading out for a very quiet weekend (I hope). Have a fabulous weekend for me! Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 11,June,2003 | NCY Details Brief synopsis: My hotel was in Midtown Manhattan, so I had immediate access to Broadway, Times Square, Central Park and more. MoMa Queens - saw works from true masters like Cezanne, Dali, Van Gogh (Starry Starry Night!) and Gauguin... just to name a few. Rockefeller Center - gorgeous example of true Art Deco style St. Patrick's Cathedral - arches overhead were breathtaking Radio City Music Hall - people were lining up outside to watch arrivals for the Tony Awards Washington Square - it was late, we saw the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. It was strange to watch Miami on the screen in New York China Town - the best Chinese food I've ever had, and my friend ordered in Chinese; it doesn't get more authentic than that! Puerto Rican Day Parade - so much fun with great music and dancing Saw an authentic NYC rat - running along the subway track - yuck! I took more pictures of the parade than I needed to; the edited version of my pictures (if you haven't already checked them out) is urlLink here . No pics of the diva this time, maybe next time. I want to go back in August, before my girls go back to school. Travelling is just easier that way. I could get used to luxury hotel life; I was so disappointed last night when I got home from work to see that the maid forgot to do turndown on my bed! I missed finding a chocolate on my pillow ~ Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 03,June,2003 | Busy Busy Busy My boss came back from a two week vacation - some of it spent in Hawaii. Now he's come back all energized with a great big 'S' in the middle of his chest. Ready to conquer the world and correct all the evils that have befallen our beloved hotel. Lax attitudes, miscommunication, negative attitudes, unfocused managers, etcetera etcetera. Friggin' Energizer Bunny in a suit. Super GM, here to save the day. He caught me waaaaaay off guard. So, I don't really have much time for blogging right now. And may have even less time. I somehow convinced him that I would be more effective as an assistant if I actually had office/desk space near or in his office. Right now we sit in two different offices, with a great big wall between us. And sorry, my X-ray eyes and super-human hearing don't seem to working as well as they used to. Could it be a plot against Super GM and the Diva? Could Madame Kevetcher have planted cryptonite in my bottom desk drawer? Tune in again, dear readers, to find out! *a-hem* Sorry, got a little carried away for a second there. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 29,July,2003 | Back in the office, back on my blog I'm back. I have to say that 2 weeks is too long to be away from home. It felt sooooo good to get home on Saturday evening. And, believe it or not, I was actually excited to be going back to work. It's just an extension of home. Now, I have the daunting task of uploading and organizing 275 photos. It's going to take me a while, and before I'm done there may not be as many photos. I'm deleting as I go. Man, I took a lot of pictures of nothing! I've made some progress on the photos, and you can see Fred's contribution to the photo files as well as a few of my St. Augustine pics. Just check out my photo galleries with that link over there on the right. That's all for now. Tons of work to do. But it's good to be back. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 22,July,2003 | Absence makes the heart grow fonder And as much as i love my family, the longer I'm absent, the better. I remember now why I live in Miami, so very far away. But, isn't that what growing up is about? You know; growing up, moving away and unlearning all the wrong things your parents taught you. You've come a long way, baby. I head out again tomorrow. I'm taking the Cherahola Skyway - the scenic route - through the Cherokee National Forest. This road will lead me into Cherokee, NC where we will stop to visit the Cherokee Bear Zoo. In Downtown Cherokee. *grin* According to my father, his grandmother was (at least part) Cherokee, so this will be like visiting my roots; learning about my heritage. Only with cheap souvenirs and caged 'bears, big cats and monkeys.' Fun and educational, as the tourist brochure points out. Then its on to Savannah. The Hostesss City of the South. I'm about half way through my book, and I can't wait to see the squares that are described. We're staying on a hotel on River Street. The River Street Inn, as a matter of fact. We get handmade chocolates and Godiva Hot Chocolate at night. Ooooooh, you know how I feel about turndown. Fred had intended to leave chocolates on our pillows at the Ranch. And despite his oversight in doing so, I have neglected to mention that we had a faaaaabulous time in Musella with Fred. He and Pumpkin were the perfect hosts. Gotta hit the sack now ( I may have been in the hills too long). Long day and long drive ahead of me tomorrow... and I can't wait! PS - I hope you are enjoying the audio posts. I'm getting more comfortable as I go and the posts are getting longer. I hope I'm not boring you ;) Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 17,July,2003 | greetings from NE Tennessee I tried several times yesterday to see my blog with no luck. Maybe blogger was down? Anyway, I was able to see my site this morning, and it feels like home. As weird as it might be, I've missed checking the other blogs on my blogroll. And I was anxious to hear my posts. I'm concerned that by mingling with all these country folk I may pick up the accent. My nephews have it real bad, so bad that sometimes I can't understand what they're saying. They've lived in unpopulated areas all of their lives. Bluff City, where we are now, is the most populated area they've ever experienced. And everyone here has varying levels of southern drawl. It grows on you, and if you live in it long enough you pick it up. Like a foreign language. So, I was pleased to hear my audblog posts this morning and find that I haven't succumbed to the drawl. I have always worked hard to keep my speech free of any identifying accents or drawls. I'm just plain ol' diva, from nowhere and everywhere at the same time. Everyone asks me where I'm from because they really can't tell from my speech and I like that. Anyway, I'm having a really good time. This is my first vacation in 7 years and for once, I'm the one sending the postcards. I always ask travelling friends to bring me back a postcard. Now I'm the one doing the travelling and it's nice for a change. Tomorrow we're going to the Ripley's Aquarium in Knoxville - downtown Knoxville of course. There's this huge tank with a tunnel you walk through that takes you under the fish and sharks. Should be cool... maybe I could do an audblog post from under there. Have to try that. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 13,July,2003 | Howdy from Musella I'm blogging from Mussella, Ga. If you try to find it on a Georgia map, its near Lizella. But you may not be able to find that on a map either. It's outside of Macon, which has a really nice historic downtown district. We're going shopping tomorrow. Yes, even in the country, the diva finds shopping. Now if I could just find a Starbucks... I tried an audio blog earlier today.

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 11,July,2003 | and we're off! okay all my blogger friends. this is it. i start my road trip tomorrow. an afternoon in st. augustine, a day in musella, ga on the gerbilman ranch, 10 days in bristol tn with my family, a day in savannah ga's historic district, and for the grand finale a whole day at disney. my littlest diva is 4 and this will be her first time at the magic kingdom. for the times when i can't get to a computer to blog, i'll be doing audioblog entries. so, stay tuned dear readers for my sultry diva voice to seduce the internet (lol). if nothing else, it could be a good laugh. have a great weekend, everyone!

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 09,July,2003 | oh, one more thing. i have discovered where i want to live. i really want to buy a place of my own now and i really want it to be in the same area where i already live - Downtown Miami. a developer is building lofts in my area - i love the idea. and it would allow enough space for me and my diva-ettes to lay out our yoga mats every night and really get serious about yoga. its even close to the new Performing Arts Center, which i can't wait to be finished. the whole miami area is really growing and changing, and i'm sort of excited about being in the thick of it all. i'm setting my sights urlLink here '' I really am turning into a downtown diva! diva out for real this time. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 07,July,2003 | busy busy day gearing up for my road trip now. i tried to resist paying bills, but some i just had to pay, so now i will have less money than i planned for. but i know how to work a budget and stretch a dollar like the toughest yoga asana, so i know i'll be ok. thinking happy thoughts and looking forward to hitting the road. but today i'm in the office with oh so many projects to complete before i go. so, just a quick post today and then i'll get down to business. i just wanted to comment on how multi-cultural my girls are. i have noticed that they have so many different friends from so many races and religions, and it makes me happy. I never knew any muslim kids, or taiwanese/chinese kids, or catholic kids or even african-american kids. i grew up in the new era of bussing and desegregation but there was very little socializing done among the different races. the closest i ever got to diversity was my italian/american cousins and even they lived very far away. its encouraging for me to see my children playing with other children just because they have fun together. and sometimes i get to share a little knowledge and teach a little tolerance. last night, my oldest diva overheard someone talking religion by the pool. he was talking about jesus to some muslim kids, and my daughter said, 'Muslims don't believe in god.' I briefly explained the small differences between the two religions. that little optimist in me can't help but believe that if i can teach my children they may teach their children. eventually, we will all understand that we are all one. ok. gotta get some work done. diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 04,July,2003 | Munday Ok, so the holiday wasn't so bad. Worked a few hours in the AM, then went shopping! Can you believe Burdines actually gave me a credit card? I was shocked. Then I shopped. I needed a few things for my upcoming road trip, and Burdines was kind enough to foot the bill... for a little while. It's actually part of a bigger plan for me as I hope to buy a place to call my own in the next few years. Building my credit is required, and this is a step in the right direction. Getting to shop is just an added bonus ;) Spent the late afternoon to evening on the beach with about 50,000 strangers, and of course my little divas and my in-law family. A collection of grown ups, divorced and not dating - kind of sad actually. What's sadder is that I'm part of that group *sigh* But we had fun, and the fireworks show was one of the best I've seen yet (they do keep getting better and better). And for a minute or two I relaxed and had fun. Then the pyromaniac jerks started firing up everything they could get their hands on - bottle rockets, firecrackers, jumping jacks, blah blah blah. No consideration for the throngs of people surrounding them, the children running barefoot in the sand, the people relaxing close by. The paranoid mom in me reared her ugly head and we got the hell out of there before some sand dune caught fire. Then of course there was the 45 minutes of traffic to contend with. But at least the littlest diva in the backseat fell fast asleep, so the wait was a quiet one. Unless you count the futile horns in the background pushing everyone ahead when there was no where to go. Breathe in, breathe out. Wax on, wax off. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 04,July,2003 | Happy Fourth I'm not feeling exceptionally patriotic right now. This never was my favorite holiday. And this year, all the 'pops' and 'booms' just make wonder what it was like in Bagdad earlier this year, and still. It's not just noise there. I've always considered it strange that we would recreate a war scene to celebrate our independence. Because, that's what the fireworks remind me of; one big boom and instantly my mind is crouched down in a foxhole somewhere, - rat-a-tat-tat - trying to stay alive. I must have died in combat as a soldier in a previous life, because images of war and violence are just too real and scary for me. But, my children are fortunate enough to not suffer from this overactive imagination, and they love the gleaming streaming colors in the night sky. So, I'll watch their faces light up with delight and try not to think all those horrible ugly thoughts. 'Being touched by one's children is a delight to the body, And listening to them chatter is a joy to the ear.' -Tirukkural 65 I have my family and I have more material things and personal freedoms than so many in this world. I was lucky enough to be born here. I'm thankful for that, and it is something to celebrate. So, light a sparkler up for me. Have fun. Be safe. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 03,July,2003 | Stepping up to the soapbox Yes, I'm in that kind of a mood today. Read on if you like, and if you don't... ok. I just have to say that if I hear one more newscaster report how more and more Americans are overweight, and how the FDA is stepping up and getting stricter on food labels... yada yada yada. I'm going to throw a food pyramid and start screaming expletive RDA's at somebody! Almost nobody I know actually reads the labels, and if they do they're looking for the one thing their doctor told them to watch out for. Watch your sodium or watch your cholesterol. Come on, do you really look at the back of that Oreo package to count fat grams before scarfing down the whole damn box? Trans fats? Yeah, whatever. Americans are infamous for blaming everyone else for what's wrong with them. Don't blame McDonalds for serving you a bigger burger and more fries. If you get in your car and drive there (most of the time we don't even expend any energy to get OUT of the car - they bring the food to your car), and if you order the super-size fries and the double cheeseburger with bacon and the super-size DIET coke, then how is it their fault that you devour the whole damn thing before you even make it back home to flop down on the sofa for a nap? Screw the food pyramid, I want my Haagen Daaz Caffe Mocha Frappe Ice Cream NOW! Most Americans over eat and under exercise. Period. A nice 20 or 30 minute walk at lunch time, smaller portions and more water make such a difference in the quality and length of a lifetime. If you gotta have the Oreos, then swim a lap in the pool tomorrow. If you're planning for a big dinner, have a light lunch. Its easy to make the change, but its easier still to put the blame on someone else and continue to complain about how your pants don't fit like they used to. *Diva now humbly steps down from her soapbox* Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 02,July,2003 | Worst comb-over ever Last night I saw that the new Merriam Webster dictionary is out, and includes 10,000 new words. Words that we use every day, but have never found in any dictionary ever before. Words like hip hop, wack, dope and phat. Also the word comb-over has been added. When I saw that, I was instantly reminded of the worst comb-over I've ever seen. Actually it was pretty recently, maybe just a week or two ago. On Lincoln Road on South Beach, where everyone strives to be their absolute most fabulous at all times. He was obviously from the Elvis-era. He was in relatively good shape, considering his apparent age - I'm guessing late 50's to early 60's. I can't even remember what he was wearing, since I was blinded by his comb-over. Picture this if you dare: Snow-white, Elvis side-burns, down the sides of his face to below the ears. Then brushed w-a-y back, over his ears so that the ends met at the back of his mostly BALD head. )( As if we're not supposed to notice that he has no other hair except his sideburns. Guys, please, if you're losing your hair and you're considering the comb-over... don't. Go the way of MJ and Sean Connery, and just speed up nature's process by going bald. Shave as you ruin nature's cruel joke with a mocking laugh at destiny, or be proud of your waning hairline. Just be brave about the whole aging thing. We women have to deal with vericose veins and sagging boobs. You have hair loss. Deal with it. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 01,July,2003 | Decisions, decisions Okay, so on the one hand I have an upcoming 2 weeks of vacation and a paycheck to blow. On the other hand, I have an ever-inceasing debt due to the daycare. About the amount of one paycheck at this point. So, pay the bills or have fun? Believe it or not, I'm actually not sure what to do. I've got my whole trip planned, and people are excited and anxious for the arrival of the diva and her little divas. And, after 4 years of really crappy stress and hard work, I believe I deserve a great vacation. But, there's this little conscience jerk whispering in my ear that I really should get caught up on this bill. It would be the right thing to do. So, I'm working on ignoring the whisper and figuring out how to pay the bill as soon as I get back! *sigh* I really hate being a grown up. On a happier note, my little jet-setter diva returns home today! I can't wait to see her, she's probably grown 4 inches since I last saw - a whole 12 days ago. Yay! She's home, she's home. Of course her little sister isn't nearly as excited as I am. She has really enjoyed being an only child for a while. Also, I'm doing something nice for someone I care about today. I can't wait till he gets my little surprise. I love doing nice things for people I care about. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 26,August,2003 | Mars Mania Have you had a chance to see Mars yet? It's so close to the earth right now that its just screaming 'Look at Me!' up there in the night sky. Other than the moon and one or two constellations, it's just about the only celestial object I can identify. And now its even easier to find. I took a few moments to contemplate the red planet last night from my balcony, and i started to get a little nervous about what it's close proximity may portend. All the astrologers are buzzing with the possibilities, while the astronomers are just happy to get such an upclose look. Here's something i found this morning online. Haven't had time to read it yet, but thought i'd share it with you. From urlLink Beliefnet.com . I've already had a whirlwind of a day and my emotions have gone haywire. I'm going to blame it on Mars, eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's tonight and just move on. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 25,August,2003 | 'You can do this.' That's what I told my littlest diva this morning, when the tears started welling up in her big brown eyes. We sat nose to nose; me squatted down on the red, yellow and blue rug, her perched precariously on the edge of her very small pre-k chair. 'You're brave and strong, and I know you can do this.' She looked at me, chin quivering, and said, 'No I can't. I can't do this, Mommy.' I almost lost it. I was being the brave and reassuring mommy, introducing her to the classroom, reminding her that this is just like daycare. Telling her how her day would be busy with new faces and places and that, while it may be a little scary now, tomorrow would be better. And I would see her this evening and she should tell me all about it. Then I walked out of there with her with Grandma as back up. Grandma had met us there this morning with camera in hand for this very important first day. One diva-ette to 5th grade, one to pre-K. Big day. I left the class room with its miniature tables and chairs, primary colored alphabet and number charts, smiling faces and not smiling faces, with my littlest diva progressing from a whimper to a howl as I closed the door behind me. Grandma wrapped my baby in her arms for comfort. 'I'm doing the right thing. I'm doing the right thing. I'm doing the right thing.' I walked down the hall and out of the school, holding back the tears welling up in my own big brown eyes. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 22,August,2003 | Friday!!!! woo-hoo! yeah! hooray!!!! the only reason i'm so excited about today being friday is that today i pick up my little divas and bring them home. not just for the weekend, but for good. they've been staying with their grandmother, my mother-in-law, for the past 4 weeks. and while it may sound nice to have a break from motherhood, i haven't really enjoyed it. instead i've been working 10 hours a day in the office and then going home and straight to bed. turns out i actually like being a mom. who knew? so my girls are coming home tonight, and we have the whole weekend together before school starts on monday. i'm planning on indulging them in any way i can. ice cream for dinner? ok. hit the pool before breakfast? sure, let's go. i just want to soak them in again; i'm so glad they're coming home. and my littlest diva is all registered for pre-k - its so exciting! i'm going to get her some uniforms today and we already bought the new school supplies. i think i'm just as excited about the new school year as my girls. so, no more working long long hours, no more going home to an empty apartment. just my everyday, boring life as a single mom - just the way i like it. have a fabulous weekend everyone - i'm looking forward to mine. diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 15,August,2003 | Lights Out Terrorism? I think not. urlLink Doc is there, and think he tripped barefoot on the plug! :P But, really, what is it more than just a huge inconvenience? Let's see... no lights, no a/c, no hot water for a shower, no stove to cook, no fridge. Eating ravioli and tuna fish out of the can, drinking bottled water and warm coke. Reading for entertainment, or listening to a battery-powered radio. Why does this seem so familiar to me? Oh, wait! I know, because of a little thing called Hurricane Andrew a few years ago. No power for a week or more for some. I didn't have hot water for about 3 weeks, but hey, a cold shower in August isn't a bad thing. And, placed side by side with what happened on 911 or what Iraq experienced as a result of 911, this is just not as bad. No one died in an attack, no one lost a home or family member (although some may now due to the heat or medical concerns). It is a huge inconvenience, but fortunately not a huge tragedy. And, helloooo - 3 day weekend. I'm workin' here! Don't hate me because I have perspective, people. And really, you've got to give NY'ers credit. They're a tough group of people who come through everything in style. So, this is just one more thing they've lived to tell about. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 12,August,2003 | Twisted Had I been standing on my balcony at 7:20 this morning (instead of fighting with myself to get out of bed) I would have been able to see urlLink this from my balcony. Somehow I'm not really dissappointed in missing it. The twister touching down is just one of many strange and unpleasant things that just keep happening this month.

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 11,August,2003 | School Daze Okay, so the title for this post isn't exactly original. Give me a D for creativity. I went to register my littlest diva for pre-k today. I thought I was going to sign her up for the city program, run out of a pavillion at a park. I figured for $50 a month, it could be a good thing. Except the program ends at 2pm, without an afterschool program. And there's nobody around to take her to the public school 'afterschool' program just across the street. So, I walked myself across the street and checked out the public pre-k program. Yes there's space available, and no it doesn't matter that I don't live in their district. I guess at $85 a week, they don't care where you live. If you can afford it, your kid can attend it. So, on the one hand I will be paying a fortune for what should be free (and will be in about 3 years), and on the other hand, I won't have to leave work everyday to walk my child across the street. Convenience costs. Now I have to buy the uniforms that go along with this public pre-k. The good news is my oldest diva goes to the same public school (its actually very good), and some of her uniform tops may be handed down to our newest pre-k student. I just have to tack on a couple hundred dollars to my already very expensive August. Come on, tax credit! Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 08,August,2003 | IM Etiquette Considering the current trend over at urlLink frenchy's , I should probably be asking her this. When using IM, how long do you wait before deciding that you are being intenionally ignored? Is it rude to send a message when someone has the status set at 'busy'? Should you expect a response, if the status is 'busy'? And if you send a note to someone who is 'busy' and they NEVER respond, should you assume that you are being ignored? It took me a while to master certain social standards in the human world. Modern cyber etiquette may take me forever to figure out. *sigh* Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 08,August,2003 | Culture Club Tonight, I'm going to see a French film accompanied by a light picnic. I've been invited as a result of my last Wine Club event. I worked with the Miami Beach Film Society on my last event, so now they've invited me to this event at their newly opened Cinemateque. I'm so excited - mostly because this event will be free for me. Tomorrow, I'll take my girls to the Miami Art Museum for family day. Also a free event. Followed by the library - that's right... free. I just love that I am able to soak up so much culture for free. Also, its just been decided that we are going to take advantage of a city-wide cultural program called Artists in Residence. We will exhibit the work of 8 artists staying on Miami Beach for the month of August and use the mailing lists of three large organizations in addition to my own. Art, culture, wine and hors d'oeuvres. Who could ask for more - and we should expect about 300 guests (a record for my Wine Club events). We'll hold an event sponsored by the city, and for once the attendees will be paying to attend! I'm so excited about this event that I can't wait to get to work on it. Life at work is good, and the fringe benefits that come with it help keep me smiling. Have a fabulous weekend! Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 07,August,2003 | and *ahem* ... 2400 today! Woo-hoo! :) |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 05,August,2003 | That's interesting Well, friends, after having seen 'Pirates of the Caribbean' last night, I have to say that the quiz down there was right. I am most like Jack Sparrow. I mean, you know, without the heavy black eye makeup, the braided goatee, the gold teeth and the really dirty fingernails *yuck*. And I'm not quite as quircky as that character. At least I don't think I am; although some of my friends may argue that point. But there are many similarities; for example people will often underestimate my capabilities. And god knows I get by on more luck than strategy. I do have a tendency to wax verbose and poetic, and I have a very deep-seated faith in my self and in who I am. I genuinely believe that as long as I stay focused on my goal, I will achieve it. Its completely unthinkable that I won't finally get exactly what I want. And then there's that whole lust for freedom that we share. The movie had its strengths and weaknesses. Also, being a Disney movie, it couldn't help but poke fun at the ride at Disney World. The little dog with the key outside the cell... that's in the movie. And Capt. Jack Sparrow makes a clever joke about the dog - but not everyone in the theater laughed. Maybe they've never been. I laughed a lot, and I left there feeling really good. That's what a movie should do, I think. I felt elated and free when I walked out of the theater; sort of like Jack in the closing scene as he stood at the helm and headed for the horizon. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 05,August,2003 | My day was better Just when you think things are rough, you find out someone else has it rougher. I spoke with DBD this morning to find out when I can expect my first child support payment from his new job. He informed me that he wasn't sure, but that I would be receiving something very soon, since he was arrested over the weekend. What! Yup. DBD went to jail over the weekend. He was stopped while driving and as there was a warrant out for his arrest, he was taken into custody. He had to borrow $1000 - exactly what he's owed the judge for purge for almost a year - to get himself out of jail. I feel bad that it went that far. I never really wanted him to be arrested. But, he could have borrowed the damn money when he got the notice of contempt a few months ago. Avoiding his responsibilities finally caught up with him. The amazing thing is that no one in his family told me about this. I was there all day Saturday and not one person said anything. So, at least I should be able to get my car out of the shop soon. What he had to pay to get out will come directly to me - and it should do so very soon. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 04,August,2003 | An Epiphany Fred, you probably should stop reading this right now. I know how you hate it when I get philosophical. But I had an epiphany last night. I was practicing yoga and almost ready to go into the rest pose when it hit me. I've always said that pain is a warning, but I never really fully understood that, until last night. I didn't hurt myself or anything. I was sitting with my legs (almost) in lotus, with my forehead resting on the floor. And I had this urge in the back of my head to sit up. I resisted as long as I could, but then I realized that I needed to sit up. The urge was strong enough to push me up. In that position, I always think about being a seed buried deep in the dirt. What makes it want to grow? It must be that urge to rise. The hunger and need to change and grow. You know how an old pair of shoes can just start to hurt? Time for new ones. Or when those size 6 jeans just don't fit anymore? Time to acknowledge there's been a change, and react with a change of jeans. On a deeper level, sometimes when we feel like something just isn't right it's because we need to grow, to make a change. The hard part isn't only noticing the hurt, but also figuring out what's causing the hurt. Discovering what needs to change can be so very hard. But, once you figure it out, the ache goes away. That little urge inside you, bugging the hell out of you, quiets down and goes away when you've taken the right action and made the right change. Everything changes, and when we don't change too, it just hurts. Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 26,September,2003 | The Word of the Day navel-gazing \NAY-vul-GAY-zing\ noun : useless or excessive self-contemplation Example sentence: Instead of more of the feel-good lyrics and beats that launched her to stardom, the songs on the diva's sophomore release border on tedious philosophizing and navel-gazing. Did you know? If you are scratching your head over something, then you are probably in a state of puzzled contemplation. But if you are staring at your navel, you could either be indulging in some useless self-contemplation or in a state of deep meditation. If the latter, the technical term for your activity would be 'omphaloskepsis,' which is a form of meditation that has been practiced by mystics for centuries. Navel-gazing is a pop form of omphaloskepsis that is devoid of any serious meditative value. The word has been used more or less depreciatingly since its first appearance in 1963. NOTE: Today's Word of the Day can be found in the NEW Eleventh Edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, along with more than 10,000 new words and senses.

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 25,September,2003 | Little Miss Know-it-all Last night my littlest diva announced that she knows everything. Of course, I, in my infinite wisdom and understanding, explained to her gently that she can't know everything , no one knows everything . Then my other diva-ette began quizzing her, 'Oh. You know everything? Ok, so what's 2 + 2?' Then they went back and forth with tests of knowledge. I just smiled and enjoyed the happy chatter and banter. This morning when I dropped her off at class, what's the first thing I hear from another mother? 'Your daughter knows everything! She always has the answers to all my questions, she's little miss 4-1-1.' So, apparently I was wrong. She does know everything . Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 24,September,2003 | My babies are growing up *sob* This morning, the littlest diva announced that she wanted her big sister to take her to class. Not her mommy, her sister. I was dumbfounded; I responded with something like, 'Really? Are you sure?' She was sure alright. So instead of parking and walking her to class, I pulled into the drop off lane along side the school. I was still in disbelief, but they popped off their seatbelts, gathered their things and hopped out. I had to beg for a goodbye kiss from the little one - she was already half way out the door. I watched with tears welling up as the two of them walked hand in hand into the school, the littlest one's lunchbag dangling down past her knees because she's just so small. If I had a camera I would have clicked off a picture of this; the day my diva-ettes worked together without me to guide them. WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 22,September,2003 | Munday Not such a bad monday, as monday's go. Called the Child Support Division bright and early this morning to find out the status of that bond payment DBD payed at the beginning of August. Still waiting on that nice little chunk of change and wanted to know when I could expect it in my pocket. Turns out whoever was supposed to set the court date didn't set the court date. Now the lady I spoke to has to contact the legal department to get the date set. I can't get my grubby little hands on that money until the judge releases it to me. i'm thinking some little date-setter had a nice little shopping spree with my money! Anyway, it would appear that I now have the wheels in motion, and maybe I'll get a notice in the mail or something. Figures now that the mercury retrograde is over things are starting to move along.

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 19,September,2003 | Back in Happy Mode I was feeling a little off kilter for a few days, but I'm back to my old happy self again. It never takes long... to paraphrase a song I hear last night, You can't keep a good girl down! Went to see the new Woody Allen film last night. Its only the 2nd or 3rd movie of his that I've seen, but I really really liked it. I love his selection of music in this movie, and his sense of humor is slightly more dark and twisted than usual (if that's possible). There were some really creative shots and extremely subtle jokes, and the solo performed by Stockard Channing was moving and sad, to say the least. Woody's looking pretty old these days, but maybe that was part of the character. It was hard to tell, because he was pretty much playing himself in this one. I'm no expert on Woody Allen thoughy, so you go check it out and let me know what you think. Also, I heard an amazing vocalist last night. After the (Free) movie I went to a (free) live performance of a man who calls himself urlLink Big Brooklyn Red . He has a voice that reminded me of sunlight glinting on a pool of water. Honestly. When he sang, his voice went from just a regular sound with strong urban influence to this powerful, smooth and clear truth. After singing three songs, he said he had run out of material. I thought, 'What! this guy only has 3 songs?! Then he asked someone to suggest a theme, and he'll sing about it. IMPROVISATIONAL SONGWRITING. It was amazing. Someone yelled out, 'Black Power!'. Everyone laughed. Not at the subject matter, but at the implications it represented. Big Brooklyn Red is a slightly rounded, average height caucasion, ruddy complexion with blond hair twisted into a braid, laying lifeless down his back. Very cool shades cover his, probably blue, eyes from the bright stage lights. But, he did it. It was phenomenal how the band jammed together on a completely improv'ed beat and tune, and then he picked up with lyrics that he gathered from the air around him. One of his lines included, 'I've been every color, black, white, brown and yellow' and he spoke of how he understands so much more than a white man should, and the chorus was something about 'Whites rock and roll, why don't you just stay easy. All that black power, gonna make you greasy.' It was gritty with a funky Shaft kind of groove, and the crowd was overwhelmed by this white man in shades. At least I know I was. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 15,September,2003 | Bonus Blog Diva innocently answers phone - mistake #1: 'Hello, may I help you?' Crazy lady at other end, 'Yes. I received a message from Joe Schmoe saying that supposedly he works for your hotel and arranges hotel accommodations for production and movie industry clients, and supposedly he is planning a trip to LA and is setting appointments to meet with potential clients.' Poor trusting and clueless Diva responds, 'Yes. That's right. Joe does work for us and he is planning his trip to LA. How can I help you?' Crazy Lady: 'I want to know how he got my number!' Innocent Diva: 'Oh. Well, I don't know, but he may have gotten it from an Industry Directory. He's never been to LA before and he's very excited about meeting with industry clients in that area. Are you involved in the production industry?' Crazy Lady: 'No, I'm not.' Diva: 'Oh. Well, then its possible he misdialed.' Crazy Lady: 'No. I don't think so. I want to know how he got my number.' . Diva, trying to find a clue here: 'Did he address you by name in his message?' Crazy Lady, taking every piece of info she can get, 'Yes, I think he did. How did he get my number? I want to know how he got my cell phone number!' Diva, still trying to be helpful: 'I'm sorry but I don't know how he got your number. Would you like to speak to him?' Crazy Lady: 'Yes, I would'. Diva tries to transfer call, but Joe Schmoe is not at his desk and the voicemail picks up. A smart Diva would have sent Crazy Lady into Voicemail Nirvana, but instead she goes back to the caller. This is mistake #2. Diva: 'I'm sorry, but Mr. Schmoe is not at his desk and I'm getting his voicemail. If you'd like, I can take your information and investigate this for you.' Crazy Lady: 'Yes, that's fine. And can I call you back for the details?' Diva: 'If you will give me your name and number and the company you work for, I can find out for you and call you back.' Crazy Lady: 'No, that's ok. I don't want to give you my number.' Diva, 'Who am I speaking with?' Crazy Lady pauses deviously:'...Kimberly. And nevermind, I'll find this out my own way!' Poor, dazed Diva hears Krazy Kimberly's 'click' on the other end. Moral of the story? Anybody, anybody? Diva out |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 10,September,2003 | Ignorance is Bliss If thats the case, then there are lots of really happy people out there. I occasionally experience an oblivious person on the street; you know, that guy who doesnt realize anyone else exists in the world. But, Ive had three such run-ins in the past 6 or 7 days so now Im starting to get a little peeved. Last week, after I made a left and began to merge into the right lane for a right turn, I discovered that the lady to my right had done the exact same thing. Only, my turn was legal. She made a left turn from the middle lane, to my right and then slowed to make the same right turn. There was no one behind me, so I was able to stop dead in the road and wait for this oblivious woman to make her turn; I then merged right to make my right turn. If I had been as oblivious as her, I would have merged right INTO her, instead of behind her. She drove on, never realizing what had happened. Then, yesterday I made a U-turn so that I could park my car at a meter; a van behind me did the same. I pulled up behind a lady who was backing into a parallel space and waited for her to pull ahead into the space in front of her. The van sat behind me, waiting for me waiting for her. We both assumed that this lady knew we were behind her, waiting on her. Instead, she remained in the 2nd space instead of pulling ahead to the first space. I had to back up a little so that I could then maneuver my car into the space behind her, causing the van to back up to make room for me to back up, and then the van had to do the whole thing behind me. And she never even realized what she had caused she was oblivious. Then, this morning, in that same damn left turn, merge into right lane turn (I do this each morning), a man turned left from the turning lane as he should. But, instead of merging to the right as soon as he could, he waited until he was at the right turn. I was already in the right lane, getting ready to make the right, when this guy veers into the right lane without signaling, cutting me off as he makes the right turn. I had to brake, then turn. He just drove on, oblivious. Maybe Im just too sensitive to these things right now; maybe these things are reminders to me to be more aware. Im sure they are reminders for me to avoid anger and act with loving kindness (something Im always working on!). My question is, how do people live so mindlessly every day? Its sad and frightening for me to consider that people can just bowl through every day without ever looking up from the edge of their noses to see whats going on around them. Living mindfully is something that I strive for every day and part of that, to me, means being aware of your surroundings and being aware of your actions. So, today, I must ask you, my dear reader, to be mindful. Just for today, stop and consider whats going on around you. Look before you change a lane or turn a corner. Think about what youre going to say before you say it. Chew your food. Taste your coffee. Be aware of the air you breathe and the space you occupy. Please, just for one day, for me. And Ill try a little harder today, too. Thanks. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 09,September,2003 | I love Jonathon Cainer This man is brilliant... how he does it I just don't know, but he is always so on it! Tuesday, 9th September 2003 SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 - Dec 21) For a long time you have been living in hope. A change is on the way. This ought to be good news but you find it slightly disturbing. Somehow, in your effort to make a waiting process bearable, you have managed to make it comfortable. Indeed, you have settled so well into your psychological seat that you no longer feel inclined to get out of it. You have not forgotten what it was you were hoping for, but you now see that, if a dream really is to become a reality, awkward adjustments must be made. Indeed they will. But you won't regret this. Millions may not understand, but believe me; on this one he is so right its scary. Has something to do with the sing-song a few entries down and I'm still too superstitious to really say much about it. I just hope that he's referring to what I think/hope he's referring to. More later... maybe. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 08,September,2003 | Munday Had a very relaxing weekend. The little divas went to Grandma's so I got to sleep in on Saturday and Sunday - nothing more delicious than sleeping in on the weekends. My hair is back to a rich brown - sans gray - espresso was the name on the box. so, after a few extra hours of beauty sleep and a dip in dye, I'm feeling most fabulous once again. Why, I may even paint my toenails tonight! Ooh, such decadence. And littlest diva's pre-k teacher came up with a great way of avoiding the morning separation anxiety drama that we've all been subjected to for two weeks now. Instead of prying her off my leg as I attempt to escape the classroom, the teacher meets us in the cafeteria. This way, there is a smoother transition from daughter to student. And you know what? It works! I left that little girl in her blue and beige uniform, with tweety bird lunchbox slung across her shoulder, hand in hand with her teacher. Bye, baby... kiss kiss. And out the door I went. No drama, no tears. Life is good. ** one note - i've been visiting the blogs that I know and love, and have tried leaving comments. Sometimes I can, but most of the time my server won't let me leave lovenotes. Security is so tight on the internet these days, its just so annoying! so, thanks for your comments, and hopefully I will be able to speak my mind on your blog again soon ;) Diva out. |

766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 02,September,2003 | Back to NoRmAL Whatever that is ;) But I am back in my office, no more bouncing back and forth between two hotels. I was filling in for the admin at our sister property. Two hotels, two assistants, One General Manager. My boss bounces between two hotels every day; I did it for two weeks and am totally wiped out. I don't know how he does it. And, a note on the beliefnet.com article on Mars that I listed below. It's not very good. So if you haven't read it yet, don't bother. They managed to confuse the Mercury retrograde with the Mars retrograde (both of which are occurring right now). Life has slowed down a bit, thanks to the retrogrades - but maybe just for me. So much is going on around me that I almost feel like I'm sitting in the eye of a storm. Considering we're deep in hurricane season now (weatherwise, that is), let's hope that I don't end up in an actual storm... that's something I do NOT need right now. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 31,October,2003 | Happy Halloween! I'm struggling today with a bad attitude. I'm surrounded by people who never celebrated Halloween as children (or as adults even), so they lack the traditionalism that I have as an American celebrating this very American holiday. For me, a pumpkin carving contest should focus on carving the pumpkin. But not so here. Here, they dress them up as waiters and maids - full life-size bodies with a pumpkin for a head. That's more of a scarecrow than a pumpkin as far as I'm concerned. They look great, but they're not really jack-o-lanterns. And I refuse to give in; I spent more than an hour scooping and carving on Wednesday night, so that my pumpkin is a close rendition of a urlLink Tamara de Lempicka painting of two women's faces . I did it because I wanted to see if I could. Tamara de Lempicka is the hotel's 'patroness' and we have several of her paintings hanging. Our restaurant is named after her. Of course there's also this horrible little hope that I could win some cash for my efforts. But then I remember who I work with. People from other cultures who don't get the traditional meaning of 'carved'. I'm a traditionalist, and I guess I'll end up suffering for my art. urlLink But I did it - it looks good and I'm satisfied with my art. So, Happy Halloween everyone - traditional or not :P Diva out PS - Update on the pumpkin - I actually won 2nd place and $50 for my efforts! Yay! |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 30,October,2003 | You know that feeling you get when you look at really old family photographs? urlLink Look at me gives me that same nostalgic feeling, and I don't know anyone in any of the pictures. But then, again I hardly know the people in my family photos either. Looking at the found photos collected at this website, I can start to imagine that these people are my family. Or, at the very least, just like the people that I call family. Diva out. |
766,556 | female | 34 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 29,October,2003 | Oy Vey Am I tired! Last night I went to a Jewish Wedding. An orthodox Jewish wedding, where girls sit on one side and boys sit on the other. It was my first wedding of this faith, and it was nice. I was a little surprised when the Rabbi starting singing, with three little old men as back up singers to his right. I probably would have enjoyed the ceremony more had it not been completely in French. And i got there about 45 minutes late. It took two hours to trek over to Hialeah to drop off the girls at grandma's house. But, I had fun at the reception. I danced the hourah (i know i misspelled that one!) and watched as my friend, the bride, was lifted high above everyone's heads in the 'chair of honor'. And there was a great mix of American and French music over several decades. I danced, I ate, I laughed. Going home afterwards was not fun. I got stopped about a block from my house since the lights on the left side of my car don't work. I don't know why, they just don't. After informing me of all my faults, and asking if my children are buckled up, he ran my license and found that I'm an honest citizen. He let me go home, telling me to get my lights fixed. After getting in around 2am, I think I got about 3 hours of good sleep, what with the full stomach and my littlest diva tossing and turning in bed beside me. Today my oldest diva-ette goes to her first elementary school Halloween Dance, replete with costume, yummy treats and dancing. I'm going to drop in for a quick photo. I'll be sure to share it as soon as I can. Diva out. |
