yeah yeah yeah... i have been the Ultimate Slacker in writing. i suck. i apologize.
BUUUUUUT.. to my defense. i got lots of stuff going on. personally, workly, emotionally, hairly.
yeah. i said "workly" AND i said "hairly". what CHOO gonna do about it?
work is super. no for real. i really dig the people i work with. and i LOVE this time of year. its the beginning of the Holiday Season Drop. and by Drop i mean like a roller coaster... it all leads up to this part of the year. and then WHAM! it's january. and i find myself stunned and amazed at how quickly it all passed by. i try so hard to cling to the leaves changing colors, the crisp fall air, the outdoor festivals, allie saying "pumpkin butter" (which, at this time of year, she will do at least ONCE a phone call), gearing up for thanksgiving and a trip to south carolina, and then....CHRISTELMAS!!!! and then in 3 short months i will find myself weighing 10 pounds more. and trying to figure out where all the magic went. to quote allie yet again, "i love the 'Ber months". i wont lie.
so yeah. work is good.
and the hair. it's good too. don't tell my mom,
but i have bangs.
SHHHHHHHHH... don't squeal so loud, she'll hear you.
i decided that yesterday was the day. i was gonna do it and NOTHING was going to get in my way. i looked for pictures of what kind of bangs i wanted. i settled on Callie* bangs.
printed the picture. asked the boys at work their opinions, (useless by the way, they got all hot about the girl and not the hair.) got the call from my boss that said, "DO IT!" (she'd previously been opposed to the idea, but had a vision of me with the hair and changed her mind), grabbed angela and some hair magazines and off we went.
needless to say that i did NOT get Callie hair, but am thrilled with my Meredith* hair. and, of course, angela's hair is WAY ASS CUTE TOO!
*from Grey's Anatomy
it was time for a change. i got lots of changes happening. why not let some of them have an outward reflection?
and i came to a realization, sitting in traffic the other day. i have been struggling so hard to get BACK to the Christel i was. and it was like trying to fit into the clothes of a child. and the harder i tried, the less it worked. i don't need to get BACK to Christel, i can make my own new one. it was senseless to try to be something i was, when i am liking who i am becoming. i feel it. i feel her growing into something amazing. and everyday she peeks out a little bit more. i think she will be just as great...no, greater than the Christel i was.
so, hand in hand, the Christel that fits into those little clothes and the Christel who is still changing and growing will walk into the Great Unknown. i dont have to keep looking back at her and miss who she was. i can take her with me for the rest of the journey. she knows the secrets. she knows the song. she knows the dance. and she can still teach me a thing or two.
let's go, little one. we got a big bad world to take over.

sleep to dream
ever have those dreams where, after you wake up you feel like it was just your body purging itself of everything that happened for weeks?
where everything is jumbled together and upon further reflection you can pick pieces out that are obviously experiences, and other parts that are just filler to get all the thoughts out.
i had a night like that last night (errr... more accurately this morning)
i dreamt about (in no particular order or logic):
where everything is jumbled together and upon further reflection you can pick pieces out that are obviously experiences, and other parts that are just filler to get all the thoughts out.
i had a night like that last night (errr... more accurately this morning)
i dreamt about (in no particular order or logic):
- the italian soccer team
- quail eggs
- scuba diving
- someone stealing my pen
- me accidentally stealing it back
- a co-worker owning his own family-based restaurant
- the very vivid logo for said restaurant
- being naked at the dinner table
- Preston Burke from Grey's Anatomy giving me a wad of money before he took me out to dinner.
- also being at dinner with very hot mexican men
- finding out later that they were all related (dammit)
- bringing a piece of furniture to Angela's house that came from the flooded apartment that cause mold to grow up her walls
- cleaning off the mold with day-old raisin bread and mild detergent
- feeling guilty about infesting Angela's house with mold
- wandering through a strange house to find the bathroom
- pretending to buy jewelry to avoid confrontation
- meeting and yelling at an ex co-worker's cousin
yeah. whacky.
must have been the shrimp nachos.

single-use
i'm noticing a trend in food service. a trend that repulses me. not only because of my germ thing, but because of it's gross violation to Health Codes. i'm sorry if this awareness causes you to be more cognizant of your eating experience, but welcome to MY world.
in food service, when handling foods, employees are usually required to wear gloves. now these gloves are not to protect the employee. these gloves are to protect the person consuming the food. even the Department of Health refers to these gloves as "single-use". (yes, i have researched it, shut up)
it says, "except when washing fruits and vegetables, food employees shall avoid contact of exposed ready-to-eat food with their bare hands by use of suitable utensils such as deli tissue, spatulas, tongs, or SINGLE-USE gloves"
this does not mean wear the SAME gloves all day long.
case in point, i went to wal-mart the other day during my lunch break... i stopped by the deli to grab a lil something to snack on before i went back to work. the lady behind the counter did not put on new gloves. she adjusted her hair net, and proceeded to manually grab my food from the heating pans. when i asked her to use tongs, she just started gingerly picking up my food and putting it in the bag. i asked her to stop and put on new gloves at least. she changed A glove and then continued to fill the bag with the already "contaminated" food. when she realized that one of the items i had ordered wasn't so fresh, she offered to cook some more. at this point, she went back in the back, touching the door handle, opened the freezer, touching that door handle, put the chicken in the fryer, touching those buttons, went and opened a deli case to get out some ham, touching that handle, sliced the ham, wrapped it back up, and then using the same gloved hands, manually grabbed my chicken and put it in a bag.
at this point, me, being me was experiencing 2 emotions. rage and nausea.
i then went to complain about the whole thing to a manager. you never know who is in charge of what there... for all i knew i just tattled to the garden center diva.
and begrudgingly ate my germ infested lunch. i didn't have time to wait to get someone else get me food and didn't want to cause a scene.
cut to today. i took Roo to the vet to get his "walnut-ectomy" and on my way home, i stopped for breakfast tacos. i paid the lady and then i saw her, with one gloved hand using the utensil and her ungloved hand prying my tortillas apart and watched in horror as this woman who had touched money and been touching money all morning, make my breakfast. i wanted to hurl in the drive-thru. those of you who know me know how i feel about handling cash money. and the fact that i actually HAD cash money was shocking. but to feel the germs crawling on my hands after i handed it to her and then to have those same germs come back to me in my food was all that i could stand.
i was so angry and crazy at the time that instead of going back, i drove off. about half-way home i fished out the receipt and called the store. i told the guy what happened and that now i was going to have to throw my food away. i cant wrap my head around eating money food. and that its somehow different that the glove girl at wal-mart IS different to me. the crazy doesn't have rules... it just is.
i will call the Department of Health and "report" both occurrences. and trust me, if i could NOT be this way about food, i would give it away in a heartbeat. but the fact is, i can't. it is out of my control. it's a disorder. if i were able to control it, it would be called something different. like a phase, or that weird germ thing christel has.
so, i ask you, please, if you are IN food service and reading this, BE AWARE of what you touch. the gloves are there to protect me and everyone else from germs. not to protect you from the food.

OBVIOUSLY doesn't work off commission
so we took angela's 4 kids to see Monster House on sunday.
i walked up to the window and asked for "seven tickets to Monster House, please?"
the lackey behind the glass says, "you know that's single seating ONLY, right?"
i ask, "can i not have seven tickets, then?"
he says, "you can have them, but you just so you know, you all wont be sitting together." (insert snide bratty 17-year-old face here)
i say, "that's fine. because i didn't ask for seating assignments, i ASKED for seven.... tickets... to.... Monster....House."
since when is it ok for people in customer service to automatically have attitude like that? and especially from someone who is almost half my age? what ever happened to "respect your elders"?
needless to say, we found 7 seats together. they were on the front row. and i had never sat on the front row before... it was kinda fun! not that i would like to do it again.... but the suck factor was definitely lower than expected.
i recommend it. and take 4 kids with you. no, for real.

amos
this is one of those songs i can't listen to enough.
it has a great message. it is beautifully arranged. and amos's voice is like chocolate.
i give you:
Keep it loose, Keep it tight
Well I walked over the bridge
Into the city where I live and
I saw my old landlord
Well we both said hello
There was no where else to go
Cause his rent I couldn’t afford
Well relationships change
Though I think it’s kind of strange how money makes a man grow
Ah, some people they claim if you get enough fame
You live over the rainbow
Over the rainbow
But the people on the street,
Out on buses or on feet
We all got the same blood flow
Oh in society every dollar got a deed
We all need a place that we can go and feel over the rainbow
Some times we forget what we got
And who we are and who we are not
I think we got a chance to make it right
Keep it loose
Keep it tight
Keep it tight
I’m in love with a girl who’s in love with the world
Though I can’t help but follow
Though I know someday she is bound to go away and stay over the rainbow
Got to learn how to let her go
Over the rainbow
But sometimes we forget who we got
Who they are and who they are not
There is so much more in love than black and white
Keep it loose child
You gotta keep tight
Keep it loose child
Keep it tight
Keep it tight
Keep it tight

Rooney Spooner
lemme gush about The Roo for just a bit, yeah?
this boy is ADORDABLE. (yes, extra D for emphasis). sure, he antagonizes his sisters. sure he "makes biscuits" on my bare skin while i am sleeping. sure, he runs laps at ALL hours of the day. sure, he appears like he is being all sweet and cuddly, but really wants to claw at my hair.
but this is the part that SLAYS me.
ROO. LIKES. TO. SPOON.
no, i'm not lying.
when i am lying on my right side, he jumps up onto the bed, rubs his whole body against my chin and then lays down as close to me as possible. and lets me hold him close. and he just purrs and purrs and purrs.... for about 10 minutes. and then..... he's done.
until 5 minutes later and we repeat the process.
this morning i was sandwiched between the Roo and the Eddie. it was kinda sweet. the funny thing is Eddie has to lay his arm on my hip, because if it gets into Roo territory, Roo lets him know.
my funny family.

Nine-Pointed It is the Triple Triad - Completion; fulfillment; attainment; beginning and the end; the whole number; a celestial and angelic number - the Earthly Paradise.
Nine is symbolized by the two triangles which are a symbol of male, fire, mountain and female, water, cave principles.

The lotus flower or 'Lien Hua' in Chinese, is regarded as a spiritual flower, with elegant beauty, a mystery that inspires a person taking root in muddy, murky water, the darkest of places, where he or she rises above to bloom beautiful, powerful on the surface.
The lotus inspires the person, that whenever faced with trouble, no matter how dark the waters may get, he or she will rise above and let the beautiful flower in them bloom as long as they have a pure and sincere heart.

and WHY am i telling you all of this?
this is how i spent part of my day...
(inside left ankle... and could this angle make my calf look BIGGER?)

no for real.
can you imagine?
"hey nancy, nice earrings. are they new?"
"why yes, they are my mom."
"they were your mom's?"
"no, they ARE my mom."
yeah. nuh-uh. and just imagine if you LOST the jewelry.
like leaving it by the bathroom sink in a hotel.
or when presenting the ring, in a dessert, it gets eaten...
or falls off in the ocean.
or gets stolen.
i think we need to create a whole new Level of Wrongness for this one.

welcome to The Suck
laying in bed last night... as i was headed off to Sleepy Land, i realized that my posts recently have been lackluster.
i owe you guys an apology. i suck.
but i realized part of it is that i don't want to use this medium to bitch about the stuff going on. i know, "it's MY blog, i can do what i want". but really, enough of you hear me bitch on a regular basis. do you really want to READ about it too?
so here is the laundry list of what's been going on.

so here is the laundry list of what's been going on.
- work is fine. (that's always nice, huh?)
- my mom is going in for some bionic eye surgery in about a week. (i am being nervous, she is being excited... it works better that way)
- eddie's dad has HAD surgery lately. he had kidney stones smashed to bits and some cancerous skin removed from his left shoulder. but he is repairing quite nicely, i hear. and he's kinda living with his girlfriend and her 3 kids. (don't get me started)
- my father got married on the 22nd. and it wasn't until the minister announced them "husband and wife" that i realized that not only was Ian getting step-siblings, but I AM TOO! (duh) and later on, during the reception, i realized that i got a step-mother in the deal too. (at least i'm cute... not so smart sometimes... i blame the wine.) we like her/them and i wish them a lifetime of bliss.
- my grandmother is in a nursing home now. (she has see-sawed between death and life for about a month now. we all think she has a truckload of unresolved shit to work out before she will finally let go. i just hope she can get it all worked out to go peacefully. i know she's tired.)
- did i mention that eddie FLEW US TO DALLAS? well, he has a friend who owns his own plane and he let eddie fly us from amarillo to wichita falls. (no, he didn't take off or land, but STILL)
- eddie and i are still on the fence about moving to albuquerque. (it could come down to the way the wind blows on a tuesday to get that figured out.)
- i've been on a Candida Detox diet for about 7 weeks. and so far, i've lost (and managed to keep off) 10 pounds. i cheated a little last week and had wendy's. MMMMMM... biggie fries. basically i can't have sugar, yeast, or anything fermented. (there's really a HUGE list of shit I! CAN'T! HAVE!) but i think i miss beer the most. and it's kinda a lifestyle change more than a diet... *sigh*
- our new kitten is the Cutest KittyBoy EVER. (no, i swear)
- i have spent a lot of time with my aunt and my cousins and have really enjoyed it. it's like we actually are a family again.. instead of "WOW, you got big"
and that's about it.

SUCCESS!
the adoption process, that is.
yes, ladies and germs... due to all of your crossing of fingers, toes, and various other body parts,
WE GET TO KEEP HIM!
Rooney Callahan can stay.
E had no say after he saw the picture with the remote. it was pretty much decided. it really was up to the Other KittyGirls in the house. we had a family meeting and the girls agreed they would not eat him. and he agreed that he would not pull their tails. and all was good.
so we are now, OFFICIALLY, "Those People" with the 3 cats.

KITTTTT-DEN!!!!!
my friend Mac wanted a cat. around Christmas time, he found out his cousins had a cat they couldn't keep. so the cat began it's journey to Mac's house. i think the cat had to come from Lubbock and his mom was so kind to keep it for a few weeks until Mac could get down there to get her. she is a registered persian. tortoise shell in color. and since we have 2 torties, i was excited to see what a long-haired one looked like.
one day at work, before he retrieves his cat, he gets a call from his mother. she tells him that she saw his new cat, Maggie, with another cat and she thinks she "got him away from her soon enough" as in... they were doing the Kitty Nasty.
a day or so later, she tells him that he will probably need to give her a good brushing since she hasn't been able to do it lately.
then later in the day she called back to tell him he might want to get a flea collar since she had been outside.
so Mac was very excited about his new "mangy, flea-bitten, knocked-up cat"
but when he got her, it wasn't as terrible as it seemed. but we found out weeks later, that she was, indeed, knocked-up.
now, my friend Mac lives in an apartment that he has beautifully decorated. and since this was also his first cat, he realized, "he was NOT equipped for kittens" so he sent maggie BACK to the country to have her litter right around the time she was ready to BURST! poor girl looked SO miserable.
so we were on Kitten Watch '06. all of us at work anxiously awaited the news of kittens. one girl we work with wanted one for her 6 year old daughter. and i was hoping there would be an orange boy to bring home to my family too. and even when i brought it up to my dear husband, he shot the idea down time and time again.
and then she went and had an orange one.
and we got pictures. and my heart was broken. and we waited 6 weeks for Maggie and her kittens to come home. Mac brought one back for the girl we work with. one back for a a guy we know to give to his sister and then the orange one and the grey one.
but he couldn't keep all the kittens in his apartment while he waited for them to be "adopted" so he asked if i would take one of the ones that wasn't spoken for for a week. i said, "yes, the orange one, right?" and so the deal was done.
now i hadn't told E about this transaction so yesterday when i came home from work with a cardboard box that was making tiny kitten noises, he was surprised, to say the least. first he was a little upset. and IMMEDIATELY said no. and then i told him it was only for a week and he rolled his eyes... and said OK. and i knew i might have my foot in the door when he got online to do research on how to introduce the kitten to our 2 kitty girls. and then he sent me to the store for kitten food, litter, food bowls, and a toy.
he then sat on the couch and watched the Master's with a sleeping kitten on his lap. (SCORE!)
i even heard him say, "too bad you are so fucking adorable!"
and he posted on his messageboards about good ways to handle the introductions... and then he posted pictures of him. hope E doesn't get too attached........
but here is the latest addition to our household.
i give you Rooney Callahan:
Rooney is scottish for red-haired
and about 8 of you can figure out the Callahan part.
and yes, we named him. he was Rooney Callahan before he was even born. we are those weird types who come up with pet names and then wait for that animal to come into our lives when they are supposed to. like Simon was Simon before we ever laid eyes on him. and E wants weimeraners named Fellas and Savannah. and i am still waiting for my english bulldog to name Agatha. they just haven't all been borned yet.
cross your fingers that we get to keep him for more than a week.

have a coke and a brain tumor
dear Coke,
my friend just bought me a 4-pak of Coke BLAK. being a very enthusiastic coffee drinker, i was EXTREMELY excited to finally have a bottle of your newest product in my hands. as i was about to take the first sip, something prompted me to read the ingredients.
and i am very glad i did.
water...sugar...high fructose corn syrup.... etc. and the last 2 ingredients: aspartame and acesulfame potassium.
WHY?!?!?!
when a drink already has the high fructose corn syrup WHY add the artificial sweeteners? especially the ones that do the MOST damage. AND where is your PHENYLALANINE warning? oh, yeah, there isn't one.
so. i put the cap back on and threw the 4-pak in the trash. kudos on making money off my friend and most assuredly countless others, but this was a pretty dumb idea.
are you getting monetary compensation from the "poison" companies? i.e. the makers of aspartame and acesulfame k? is THAT why you put their poisons in your drinks that don't need them?
i am ashamed of you and for you, Coca Cola.
too bad i am posting this on my highly read blog too.
sincerely, christel

i hate it when...
those damned quiz things are right...
| Your Life Path Number is 1 |
 Your purpose in life is to lead others. You have great drive and determination. Nothing is going to stand in your way. You seek out challenges and the spotlight. You'll take all the work - and all the glory. Status and success are important to you. You demand the best from everyone and everything. In love, you tend to take a protective role. You enjoy being the provider in relationships. You expect others to be like you, and as a result, you are often disappointed. A little selfish and vain, you always put yourself first. Remember, everyone already knows you're great - you don't need to remind them! |
| Your Birthdate: December 3 |
 You are more than a big ball of energy - you are a big ball of hyper. You are always on the go, but you don't have a type a personality. Instead of channeling your energy into work, you instead go for fun and adventure. Witty and verbal, you can have an interesting conversation with anyone. Your strength: Your larger than life imagination Your weakness: You tend to be pretty scattered Your power color: Lime Your power symbol: Lightening bolt Your power month: March |

breathe
my Mimi is in the hospital.
she started feeling poorly after my mom left dallas, last weekend. and i got a call from my mom that she was rushed to the hospital last night because she wasn't breathing on her own. now she has emphysema already and is tethered to an oxygen machine all the time anyway... but this not breathing thing freaks me out. her doctors say they other than not breathing on her own, there is NOTHING else wrong with her. BUT.... breathing is pretty essential.
yeah. i'm worried.
i'm not ready for my Mimi to go yet. that old bird has LOTS of livin left to do. and i'll kick her georgia peach ass if she thinks differently.
so, could you spare some healthy breathe-y lung juju and send it her way?
thanks.

oh how i wish i were a trinity....
so that if i lost a part of me i'd still have two of the same to live.
my mom and brother were here this weekend and we had the BEST time. they came in on Saturday and we ate BBQ and watched movies. on sunday, we got up and watched MORE movies and the baby brother was getting antsy about getting his tattoo. see, he decided long ago that he wanted one, and i was supposed to go with him to get it before i moved. but that didn't happen. so, i promised him that i would get him one for his 21st birthday, which was February 22nd. and a good sister sticks to her word...
i'd heard of a place that a friend had gotten some work done and we called them and they were booked. we called another place where i got my new nose ring.. and decided that sounded like a good place.
have design
have money
have one antsy, nervous brother
have one mother who "isn't going to SIT IN THERE and watch comeone do that to HER baby"
have one husband who is over exaggerating the tattooing process
have one Christel who is trying to wrangle all parties to Sugar Daddy's before 3 pm.
sheesh.
we talked to the guy... he drew some stuff... we conversed and changed....
ready.
set.
go.
the outline.
the shading.
some more shading.
THE FINISHED PRODUCT.
i got this same tattoo about 9 years ago, also at the age of 21. it was from a necklace that i wore for years. it is a james avery design and it is a trinity symbol. when Z's father died, it was just me, and mom, and Z. and throughout my life i found myself in various groupings of 3s.
(see how the Number thing all falls into place, too?)
E has 2 of them on his forearm as well. they are the end pieces to a bigger celtic design.
it all comes full circle.
p.s. i miss you guys already. :(

TRAIN
for a long time, "Meet Virginia" was my favorite Train songs.
off the new CD: For Me it's You... this one is quickly moving up my list...
off the new CD: For Me it's You... this one is quickly moving up my list...
"always remember"
Always remember
I'm by your side
Such a shame that you had to go
So much more that I'd like to know
So many things you forgot to show me how to do
When times are hard I forget your gone
I go to call you before it dawns on me
That you wont be there now
But I still have these words that you gave me
Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side
I got two kids of my own now
They grow up so fast
And how I wish you did not miss that part of who I am
But I keep doing all that I can do
And I will smile when they ask about you
And I will sing to them every day
With the voice and the words that you used to say
Will change the world one day
Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side
And while they grow up you will show up
In things they do and say
Like a reflection to a connection
Of who they'll be one day
They will learn to get their wings
And fly through the changes life will bring
So on
And it will go on
And you will go on
And they will sing with the voice that you gave them
Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side
I'm by your side
I'm by your side

you're gonna put that WHERE?!?!?!
so, i have an appointment today with the *whispers* girl doctor.
why am i telling you this?
why am i telling you this?
because
A) i've never been
B) i'm 30! (shut up, i said it.)
C) i've NEVER been
D) i promised the boy i would this year.
E) i've never BEEN
F) it's prolly a good idea to go and make sure that i really have all the right parts in there if we ever decide to get with it and have children (i'm still considering out-sourcing, dear)
G) did i mention I'VE NEVER BEEN?!?!?!
so. yeah. i am TERRIFIED. i don't wanna go. i know i need to go, but i don't wanna. AND... i want my mommie there to hold my hand too. how horrible is THAT? i'm 30-fucking-years-old and i still want my mommie there to hold my hand while some man looks at places i don't think you are supposed to even look at. if you were, then it shouldn't require special instruments to do so and it CERTAINLY should be easier to get to. you know, like behind my ear or something less embarrasing. literally emBARE-ASSing.
and they are going to draw blood. peachy. she of the rolling veins. and i bet they wanna WEIGH me too. the bastards. they really know how to ruin a day off. ya know?
so yeah. i'm going. despite the child in me who wants to pretend that there's no need to, i'm going.
wish me luck...
and please send up thoughts of warm speculums and glittery girl parts.

of things hermione and laws of physics
this always happens... i posted a drafted blog... and then something blogworthy happens. so please read the post after this one as well.
so, now to the REAL post for today.
remember in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, when Hermione says, "Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?"
i had a Hermione moment today.
i went to "shopping establishment that has a BULLSEYE logo" on my lunch hour today, looking for some more work pants.
i picked 4 cute pair and traipsed my happy self to the dressing rooms.
this is where the laws of physics come into play.
apparently the communist sickos that own said "BullsEye" store have rigged a way that if one stands at exactly the right angle, ONE CAN SEE WHAT ONE'S OWN ASS LOOKS LIKE.
now for some people, like Jenny McCarthy and 10 year old girls, this would be something fascinating and gratifying. for the rest of the world this can be a HORRIFYING experience.
and by, "rest of the world," i mean ME.
i saw it.
in all it's glory.
that which is flawed and wobbly.
in 3D cinemascope.
and let me just tell you, this trick of physics should NEVER EVER be tested. trust me.
certain things should not test those laws. THIS... and size 24 red leather pants. Red Leather Pants should just not come in certain sizes. and if you have found yourself a proud owner of said pants, please, for all of humanity, DO NOT WEAR THEM OUTSIDE*. also for your sake, do not go into a "BullsEye" dressing room.
i have risked that danger and peril for you.
i know, i'm a giver.
needless to say, i left the store with no pants ... and an ass i choose NOT to ever see again. too bad i can't get a refund for that.
*no offense to anyone size 24 or above. i'm just sayin that certain body shapes don't jive with leather. mine included, lately.

like the one she wrote about the Senseo coffee maker. i absolutely get that!
ask E about my cobalt blue mixer obsession.
so i have wanted a few things of late, you know, the running list... english bulldog, porsche 911 turbo cabriolet, my own island. you know, THAT list.
but i have a small list as well, usually silly things that i could buy for myself. a few weeks ago it was a striped canvas shower curtain. prior to that it was a set of black dishes, and before that it was a fossil watch.
but now?
oh i yearn.
i ache.
i want! i want! i want!
this:
i need to have it.
for those of you who may not know what it is, it's Motorola's new phone called SLVR. (thin as a sliver, you see....)
it's a phone and it's an iPod. yes, i know they came out with one before. but i want THIS one.
i could have Into the Mystic and Thunderstruck at! my! fingertips!
ANY! TIME! I! WANTED!
yes, yes, i am aware of the thing called iPod. but the one we get will be E's. (he needs more songs, i can get by with 100)
BUT I WANT IT!!!!!
I NEED IT!!!!
I PINE FOR IT!!!!!
I DESIRE IT!!!!
I ACHE FOR IT!!!!!
and for the low low bargain prcie of $200 it could be mine.
*sigh*

hippie chick
so, about this FUNK i have been in.....
yeah.
it's been pretty bad. at the slightest push, i could let forth a torrent of tears to rival Niagara Falls. and THAT'S never pretty.
when an episode of M*A*S*H prompts the BAD cry... you know something's up. (p.s. E grounded me from M*A*S*H for a week because of it)
so, yeah.
but today, a beacon of light... someone commented on Tex's blog about Venus in retrograde. and of course i had to go see what all that affects. (or is it effects?)
and according to astrology.com
yeah.

and according to astrology.com
- In general, Venus, the goddess of love, rules feelings and emotion, aesthetics and tastes, fashions and all forms of desire, money and wealth. Venus rules social attitudes and behaviour, along with aesthetic tastes and inclinations. Venus symbolises female relationships and social interactions at every level. Venus indicates our values. She governs romance, marriage and other partnerships, capacity for humour, and the pursuit of pleasure.
- During a retrograde period the things Venus influences will be less apparent, or be of less concern to the world. Visual sensibilities are reduced. People dress with less flair and our colour sense tends to be muted. This is not the time to purchase clothes or jewellery, change one's make-up or hairstyle. Redecorating or refurbishing homes or business should also be avoided, though there is no reason why decisions that have been made earlier should not be allowed to come to fruition during this period.
- With Venus retrograde, the pace of relationships slows down and this is not the best time to get married or give big parties. Since Venus rules diplomacy, slowdowns in all sorts of negotiations can be expected, including industrial disputes, legal issues and diplomatic endeavours.
- It is a time when we are called upon to go back and take care of unfinished business. Often we are forced to deal with deep feelings that have their origins in past events. They are activated on an inner level but are often difficult to express to ourselves or others while Venus is retrograde.
WELL, DUH!?!?!?!
that explains a lot. so i called E to let him know that there was an actual reason for my funk. and he sounded like he was as relieved as i was, but was using his "whatever you say, Moon-Child" voice.
i don't care what he thinks. i feel better knowing its not a chemical imbalance, or that my crazy is showing again.
oh, and heads up... Mercury goes into retrograde on March 2. look out!

la lengua
i realized a while back, when i was around some old friends, that i have my own vocabulary. and only a few people understand it. so i decided to make an Christel to English Dictionary. that way EVERYONE knows what im talking about ( oh and so they can all be like me, which is what EVERYONE wants in the first place, right?) ready? here we go
- sump = something (my baby brother started this one, he was a little deaf when he was born and couldn't hear to emulate the english language)
- unna one = the other one or something different (used in a general sort of way)
- unna one kind = the other one (used in a more specific manner)
- itty bitty baby one kind = small (note the use of 5 words to describe 1)
- christelmas = christmas
- forwent = past tense of 'forgo'
- chilly brew ha ha's = beers (thanks to daniel)
- haggamers = hamburgers
- toilee pinter = toilet paper
- ellelator = elevator
- shlellows = marshmallows
- fancy kind = unusual
- strawgabiggies = strawberries
- neenut putter = peanut butter
- smashed tatatoes = mashed potatoes
- co-hee = coffee
- war-tow = water tower
- charlie foxtrot = cluster fuck
- "SHUT UP!!!!" = "no way", "you're kidding", "that's amazing", " get out!", "WOW!"
- "WHO DIS?!?!?!" = "hello"
- "not knowin" = "i dont know"
- "no gotty" = "i dont have it"
- "what do?" = "what are you doing?"
- "where go?" = "where are you going?"
OH and almost every noun is pluralized,
- i put some sugarS in my co-heeS.
- milkS in my cerealS.
- i want chickenS for the dinnerS.
ok so i guess its really just anything pertaining to food that gets pluralized.
and everyone gets a "The"
- THE mommie
- THE daddy
- THE tistel-girl
- THE charlie dog
- THE boy
- THE me
now, go forth and confuse the shit outta people with your new language! YAY!!!!!

accepting my limitations....
so the other night, after i got out of the tub, i decided i was going to put on a little something more *ahem* "inspiring".... ya know, instead of an oversized Tshirt and big ole pj bottoms.
so i dug through the dresser drawer that houses items of the inspirational variety. a drawer that OBVIOUSLY doesn't get used often... i mean SERIOUSLY, how often can you wear the Naughty Nurse outfit before it gets old?
i keed... i keed.
but back to my story.
i put on one thing... and it's too much. i put on another thing... and it's not enough.... i put on another and it's not what i was looking for. it was like Goldilocks Gone BAD!
i decided to scrap the idea and opted for the regular old PJ's, remembering that E mentioned being tired earlier in the evening. so, i figured my naughtiness would have been received well, but would have been more like Dress-Up, than my original intentions.
so shortly after, i started sneezing. and then my eyes got all scratchy. and my neck was all itchy. and i was all manner of finding myself in a full-blown allergy attack.
yes, i will admit it. my naughty items had not been used in SO long that they were DUSTY. no lie. and as we all know, i am allergic to dust.
you can see where this is going right?
had i stayed with my original game plan, E would have come home to a sexily dressed wife with watery, swollen eyes, a runny nose, and scratch marks all over her neck in a benadryl induced coma.
HOTT? right?
yeah. nuh-uh.
and THIS is why i should only do nude scenes.

guess which piggie gets none.
sitting on the couch last night, with my dear husband the following conversation transpired:
"this little piggie went to market, this little piggie loves you lots. this little piggie ate ... ham... or something..."
"HAM? the PIGGIE ate HAM?"
"they are cannibalistic piggies."
"what are they? BOARS? are you trying to tell me that because my feet are so big, my piggies are now considered BOARS with giant scary tusksksksksks?"
"what was that last word?"
"tusk-sk-sk-sk-sks."
"oh right. i thought i caught that"
"stop trying to change the subject. you think i have BOARS for toes. huge, truffle-sniffing, man-killing cannibalistic BOARS!"
(at this point he is crying from laughter. and trying to still have this very serious conversation with me and i have tucked my feet under me, so the next man they kill isn't him.)
later on, he tried to play with my feet and i snapped back at him with,
"LEAVE MY BOARS ALONE"
"oh yeah, THAT'S gonna stick."
