I'm feeling so?

I look around me and everyone seems non-lonely

Is there even a word?

We'll for me I'm crying 

I'm falling and crumbling apart

I feel oh so alone in this great big huge world around me

I didn't ask to be put here

If I could ask to have a choice

I would choose

Non-existence 

Yes that word 

Makes a lot more sense

To me

I hate this world 

And everything in it

Including me

And I hate this feeling in the pit

Of my stomach

And in my insides

In every inch of me

I feel like

 I'm going to crash

Pills and more pills

Nothing seems to work

It never goes away

It just seems to get worse

I'm so tired

I'm tired of crying 

Will I ever run out of tears?

I hate this illness 

The illness

I guess that's what they say I have

But it seems to be incurable 

In my case

What must everyone think?

When they see me 

Cry

And 

Cry

And

Cry

How pathetic

Is she?

Really?

When will it end

I want it just to end 

What is normal anyway?

country life...

Well I've made the big move from the city to the country And I'm loving it! I feel like a new woman I live amongst the cows and there's wild life around me everywhere I wake up at the crack of dawn not because I want to of course, I have to walk my daughter up the hill which is a pretty good 15 minute hike just to catch her bus for school. But the walk is just gorgeous. We walk along a river along rows of walnut trees and at the end there's a bridge where we look down from where we see hundreds of swallows circling above our heads going underneath the bridge where they have there nests. Its just breathtaking. Along the way on our little walk were greeted sometimes by a little herd of cows and one of the mother cows have just had her baby who watches us pass and hides behind her mother very curious to her strange new neihbors walking by. This morning at the end of our walk near the road where you turn into our driveway there are some mailboxes where we get the mail and we noticed what was inside. A mother bird decided to make her nest in one. We made sure not to desturb her eggs of course.

Bullying is it harmless? Or is it getting out of hand?

   It brought  me to tears today and also anger when my 10 year old daughter walked to my car when I picked her up from school today.

She very depressed and I knew at once something was just not right with her. When  I asked her what was wrong?  she burst out in tears and told me three girls ganged up on her and bullied her and pushed her, yelled at her and so on. Just a week before one of the girls were threatening her that she better give her something that she wanted. I wanted to go to the school but my daughter begged me not to. So I just said to my daughter just to try to ignore them. This "mean girl " thing has been going on for two years at this school. And I really cannot blame this certain school, Because I see this happening at other schools as well as I've been speaking about this issue with other parents in my neiborhood.

 As a woman myself I was once a young girl I also had to go through the same thing in school.

 I don't remember going through it at such a young age as this though. 

I remember it much so in High school when the boys were interested in us girls.

 And it was other girls getting jelouse when  their so- called boyfriend would flirt with me. But you never heard of girls committing suicide over being bullied to death or facebook was around then all this social media you have now. 

But it really breaks my heart when you want your children to get ahead in this world with a good education because without it your pretty much useless!  

This  problem with with the mean girls have been an ongoing thing all year long ... First of all I will tell you a little about my daughter...She is a straight A student she's not like a snob! 

You know the type? "Like your better than everyone else,"? " like your above,"? and  "everyone is like below you"?    and you have no time for stupidity?    She is so the opposite. 

She is like so humble!     She's so caring.     She's very sensitive and shy.    But it worries me when she tells me that she has no friends to play with.  And when I ask why? I tell her go up to them invite yourself don't wait just play with them on the playground. They rudely tell her to go away. Calling her names...

So she pretty much stays to herself and sits somewhere and reads a book. So she's a loner.   Its  a strange thing because there will be times when I will accompany her in the mornings to have breakfast in the school cafeteria and girls will come up to us both and say hi and smile and she'll rudely ignore them. I would scold her and tell my daughter how could you be so rude? I never raised you to be like that! "No wonder you have no friends". A couple of times I've also replied back, to which was sopose to be the kind thing to do. 

Come to find out much later... my daughter then explained to me that those two faced back stabbing "mean girls" were totally different when my back was turned. They were giving her hell day after day... 

Can you believe that they were actually coming up to me all those times giving me hugs and giving me compliments and being so two faced in front of me! Wow not even I at that age could put on an act like that....

Last year was the beginning of it with one particular girl. It started really with her stealing from my daughter

Then my daughter told her teacher  about the issue.

Things went from bad to worse. 

That one girl started threatening my daughter. Scaring her saying she was going to get some girls to gang up on my daughter and beat her up. And she did get a group of girls against my daughter. They started saying things that weren't true and just being just mean.

So It got to the point where I did something that I'm not proud of and I should had never did. 

One day I went to pick up my daughter from school as she was comming out of her classroom I approached the little monster as she was on her little cel phone talking to her mother. I grabed the phone out of her hand and told the mother on the other end what was going on...

Was not a good move on my part...  well next thing she hangs up on me. 

I then had some not so nice words with the little monster. 

I demanded that she leave my daughter alone and that if she wanted to fight my daughter that my daughter would fight her one on one off school grounds without all her gang in front of me. And then that would settle things once and for all. 

But really that was all smoke and mirrors on my behalf I was just trying to scare her. Give a taste of her own medicine. I don't believe in fighting. Fighting is for animals. And for boxers in the ring, for a sport. 

Well by the time We got to the front of the school she & her big brother were there. 

I think maybe he was about 20 years old not at all intimidating to me. I'm pretty tough when I want to be . He had some choice words for me. I would think so! Then the mother walks up,I didn't know she was just up the street. 

She started yelling, I yelled back. Then the principle shows up then all the action stops. Of course I was the Bad Guy and yes what I did was wrong but a mothers anger gets the worst of you... 

One thing good happened though, that little monster left my daughter alone after that. 

But there's always more where that came from....

So here we are again ...

yesterday my daughter came to the car in tears explaining about the three girls ganging up on her so I go get out of the car very upset two of the girls I then see at the gated  fence I asked them about the incident one of them is in denial and acting all miss innocent and the other starts bad mouthing me all I saw was red  I lost control of the situation and I raised my voice and said your pretty brave all of you in your little gang how would you like it if it were the other way around? And I was so mad I really couldn't believe how disrespectful that little girl was behind that fence speaking to me and then I thought for a moment what kind of hell is my daughter really going through on a daily basis with little monsters like these? And what kind of parents are raising these kids to speak to adults and treat others like this? What is our future children growing up to become? Pretty scary if you ask me.... 

So I then walked to the office to speak to the principle. I explained pretty much everything. Maybe I left out a couple of parts of me getting mad.

 So he told me that he would take care of the matter. 

So the next day we get a phone call about 11:00 my husband happens to be home because this particular morning he needed to accompany me to an appointment. 

We just got home it was on the answering machine.

 It was Our daughter her voice sounded very depressed. She said she felt ill and she wanted to come home. 

* note * 

 Just to let you know my husband knows nothing about anything about this bullying situation that's been going on, because if he knew he wouldn't handle it very well. 

So at this point I knew I needed to inform him what was going on.

The reason for the phone call I thought was because maybe my daughter felt she just couldn't take it any more and just wanted to come home. She never misses school she almost has perfect attendance even though she only mentions to me "mom I don't hate school, I just hate the people at the school! " she loves to learn. My dear little girl...

When we talk to the principle we find out he never got a chance to even speak to the girls yet, but one of the mothers did call and made a complaint that I approached her daughter and had some choice words with her. Principle advised me not a good idea... 

 And to find out that my daughter was really ill. My husband also told the principle that my daughter would not be back to school until this matter is resolved. 

It is 7:00 p.m. And my daughter feels fine now she did have a bad headache and she felt very sickly and very depressed. She worries about falling behind her studies., she wonders if her principle will call home tomorrow? We shall see...

She has been seeing a counselor for the past year for an accident that happened to her I'm really thinking about getting her treated for depression. She has quite a bit of social anxiety issues and lotts of headaches. It's so sad when a young girl cannot enjoy youth like a normal girl.

Here is a story that I thought my blog fans might like to read...

(My husband knows the father of this young boy) and I feel it is appropriate to what is at hand here and if you are a parent or not we as a people really need to take a stand and open our eyes and try to figure out something to solve this major issue that's hurting our young people because they are our future and our loved ones. Who else do they have? If not us? 

Should 11-year-old Brenton Peraita make death threats — and suggest he wishes he had a gun — to deal with the bullies tormenting him at Riverbend Elementary in Yuba City, California? Of course not, and while calling in the police may have been a slight overreaction, I also don’t think it’s a terrible policy to take every precaution possible when it comes to students threatening bodily harm. But once we figure out Brenton’s punishment (he’s been arrested and charged with making criminal threats), how about we deal with the bigger picture? Like the one where Brenton endures bullying whenever he’s at school, subjected to name calling (“Brentina,” “homo,” “fag”), having his glasses broken, and the usual threats that gay-perceived students face. Because Jose Peraita, his father, says they’ve complained to the school fifty times about the harassment, and nothing has been done. “His reward for standing up for himself and saying, ‘I’m no longer going to be the victim,’ was a ride to the police department and a mug shot,” says Jose to Fox 40. No, that’s not true: Brenton was arrested because he talked about using a gun to silence his bullies, and that’s simply unacceptable. (Three other students involved in the incident were issued citations.) But Jose and Brenton, who was also suspended, are right that more needs to be done to keep this boy safe in school. So what’s the school’s response? Here’s Bruce Morton, the school’s director of attendance and student welfare: “We understand that it does happen, and we’re not going to say it doesn’t. Let’s be realistic. But I will tell you when I heard ‘a year and a half,’ and there were ’50 times,’ I can tell you that number is way out of whack.” Might Jose — who says his family doesn’t “have a gun,” as if that changes anything — be over-exaggerating in his claims of reporting bullying? Sure. But just one report should be enough to raise some serious red flags, where administrators realize they potentially have a dire situation on their hands. Brenton did something wrong, yes. The people responsible for keeping him safe, however, appear to have wholly failed him.

Wintertime fun!


I decided to go and take my daughter to the local ice skating rink.
Of course my daughter and myself  never ice skated before., But as they say, if you've roller skated or roller bladed you should be alright.
Well I decided to pass on it since I had a bit of a busy weekend I was a bit burned out but my daughter gave it a go. She really turned out to be a pro.
The rink was a bit crowded and the night was really cold! I think I felt it a bit more considering that night I came down with a bad head cold., to which  I felt worse the next day...
We still had fun that night we filled ourselves up with hot cocoa and I warmed my self up as much as I possibly could around the fire pits and heating lamps....with all the Christmas music playing and all the wintertime surroundings makes you glad wintertime is in the air...

To love & be loved

She wanted love

But got pushed away

Wanted to be noticed

The wrong way

Wanted to love 

But that was the only way

To be loved or so she thought

Didn't care 

Just wanted love

But could not find it

Got lost

Then found it

Didn't know

What to do with it...

What is morality?

Or tranquility?

Happiness is it just a dream?

It's not reality

Happiness

Contentment

Security

So hard to wish for? 

To love & be loved

Poem created and written by violet Hayward

Ooh fall is in the air... And I'm in the mood for some ouija conjuring....

I had to share an article from one of my favorite newsletter email subscriptions called Recollections. I so adore their turn of the century clothing. But what really surprised me was I didn't know that they also had a blog. And of course being Halloween around the corner I wanted to share this little article about the victorian era and a little ouija divination. 

Halloween Pastimes

Just to help get us in the proper frame of mind, we have posted a brief article about the Ouija board on Recollections Blog. Victorians were fascinated with the idea of communicating with those who had already passed on. Even though “divination” was declared a sin by the church, this board game was extremely popular along with séances and other attempts to reach deceased loved ones.

Did you Know?

 

At Halloween time Victorians would have parlour games that were supposed to foretell the future. Two that could be played using apples were the “Apple Grab” and “Tossing the Apple Peel.

For the first game, the names of all the boys and girls at the party were etched onto apples. Apples with the boys’ names went into one barrel, and all the girls’ names into another. The children take turns “grabbing” an apple from the barrel of the opposite sex using anything BUT their hands. The apple they grabbed will name their future love.

For Tossing the Apple Peel, Girls would peel an apple, making sure the peel is kept intact in one long winding strip. She would then toss the peel over her shoulder, and let it fall to the ground. The peel will fall into a shape that represents the initial of the first name of her true love.

The Ouija board (a very Victorian pastime)

by RECOLLECTIONS on SEPTEMBER 17, 2013 ·

 

Those Victorians, who from today’s point of view seemed to have a decidedly morbid bent, were fascinated by the idea of being able to communicate with departed loved ones. Though it was first brought to the market in 1890, the parlour game known as the Ouija board had been around for many years before that time. Victorians were exposed to death far more often than we are today, and the Ouija board gained immense popularity.

Between the 1840’s and 1920’s, there was a great interest in spiritualism and divination. At the same time the mainstream church declared divination a sin, which only served to drive the practice into private homes and small gatherings. Before 1890 people made their own devises similar to Ouija boards whereby a spirit might answer simple questions. Taking advantage of this “new craze” in May of 1890, three men filed a patent for the then well-known “planchette” and “talking board”.

The enduring fascination with this game is still evident today. What group of giggling little girls have not asked questions of this mysterious board during a sleepover? As ever, there are those who claim that this type of experimentation is a sin, while others see it as a harmless pastime for a long Halloween evening.

The Moors of Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights...

An image on show at the exhibition of Top Withens farmhouse near Haworth which is thought to have been an inspiration for the Emily Brontë classic 'Wuthering Heights

'“Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you--haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!” 

“I cannot express it; but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is or should be an existence of yours beyond you. What were the use of my creation, if I were entirely contained here? My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.”

Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair

I finally had a chance to watch Vanity Fair last night, Since we decided to get netflix I have had the oppertunity to enjoy so many great movies that before I never before had the pleasure of viewing. So of course I have to pick my period drama movies first. 
I so enjoyed this movie due to Reese Witherspoon playing in it I don't think she even plays in a movie that I don't like. 
The story line was very interesting though...
Growing up poor in London, Becky Sharp (Witherspoon) defies her poverty-stricken background and ascends the social ladder alongside her best friend, Amelia.

Storyline

William Makepeace Thackeray's witty assessment of the British class system, as seen through the experiences of one young woman, is brought to the screen with some serious star power in this period comedy drama. Becky Sharp (Reese Witherspoon) is a bright and ambitious girl born to a poor British family. Becky is determined to make something of herself however she can, and after accepting a job as a nanny for the children of the powerful and aristocratic Sir Pitt Crawley (Bob Hoskins), she wastes no time ingratiating herself with the family. Pretty Becky catches the eye of Crawley's handsome and eligible son Rawdon (James Purefoy), and becomes chummy with sharp-tongued Aunt Matilda (Eileen Atkins). Between the two of them, Becky is introduced to London's most exclusive social circle, where she becomes re-acquainted with Amelia Sedley (Romola Garai), a former school chum who is amused by Becky's efforts to scale the ladder of social influence. Becky weds Rawdon, but following initial happiness, the social and economic stability she dreamed of begins to collapse when he begins drowning his troubles in gambling and drink, and soon she turns to the powerful Marquess of Steyne (Gabriel Byrne) for support. Meanwhile, Amelia's fortunes fall even harder following the death of her husband. Vanity Fair was directed by Mira Nair, who enjoyed a surprise international success with 2002's Monsoon Wedding. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Its like I really wanted to see Reese Witherspoon's role move up the social ladder but the way she went about it was not the best way, it was her downfall especcially when she sent her son away I totally lost all respect for her. 

And then her friend Amelia what a pathetic sight I must admit. In the begining her love for that idiot Captain George Henry Osborne. I mean he was a jerk in the beginning to the end. I mean to fall for your best friends friend that kind of tells you what kind of scum ball he is. Of course Amelia finally finds out in the end. 

Mansfield Park...

Jane Austen's  Mansfield Park

For the past couple of nights I've been entertaining myself with watching Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. 

I must admit it was quite good and made me want to be like Fannie Price even though in this time in age who could? unless your of an angelic creature. And to think of one so good hearted and enduring. I definatelly had to look up this certain word I always question myself from time to time when I do not use a certain word often. And I found this :en·dur·ing 

adj.

1. Lasting; continuing; durable: a novel of enduring interest.

2. Long-suffering; patient.

I found this definition of Fanny to be her.
 Poor dear sweet Fannie she really did endure...
And like they say good things happen to those who wait.
I am so happy she did not fall for the fake play that Henry Crawford tried. 
And I just love that about Fanny that she may come off passive and you would think gullible but she stood by her instincts and heart and the outcome was what prevailed. And lets not forget Henry, he gave in to his lust and went off with Maria.
So lets see... 
you then have Maria, the daughter of Sir Thomas Bertram. 
What a piece of work right? She has a perfectly great husband yes I know he's not the handsomest but by god you know he's trust worthy and loves her. Which makes makes him beautiful. 
So typical of Maria to run off with Mr.Crawford, you ask me they deserve each other.
 So they're both ruined at the end for their selfishness and lust to which we all know doesn't last.
Then you have...
  Edmund Bertram. The Bertrams' younger son. He will become a clergyman.The only one of the Bertrams' children with a good head and a good heart, Edmund is Fanny's closest companion.
Then Edmund blindly falls in love with shallow Mary which almost becomes the fall of him.

Then of course there is Mary Crawford...
 She is beautiful and charming, but also shallow and evil. She becomes friends with a reluctant Fanny, while Edmund falls in love with and nearly proposes to her.
 Then of course there's 
Henry Craford...
  -  Mary's brother. He is equally charming and possibly even more amoral, and he possesses a sizeable estate. First Maria and Julia fall in love with him, and he takes to Maria, despite her engagement. When Maria marries and the sisters leave Mansfield, he falls for Fanny and proposes to her. Everyone is convinced he is a changed man.
To we know the answer to that one...

I really found this Movie to be very well made and I thank my dear Jane Austen for another huge sucess. I almost to want to compare this to A Jane eyre but I cannot quite do this you see only in the same as maybe the role of Jane eyre to Fanny they both attain the some what same characteristics.
This one film was filmed in 1983 
And I've noticed that it had been remade several times. I really do look forward to seing the more modern versions, anything Jane Austen really I just adore and will definatelly occupy my time viewing and will be content. 

poetry time...

I was digging through some old boxes and came across some of my old poems that I use to write from a time when beautiful words use to roll off my tongue. 

A time in my past when my desire for the written word use to come so easily.

Now Its time I will share them with you...

Please have the respect to not copy them and take the credit because my poems really do come from my  heart.

Black Friday nightmare at the Vintage faire mall in Modesto Ca.

Black Friday nightmare!

Well first of all I really had no intention of going out to this years Black Friday.

My sister came buy with my niece and invited us to go out and accompany them to the local mall.
And since being full from eating dinner that night I thought it being a good idea to walk it off a bit.

So My daughter and I thought a good idea to go and check out the apple store to see what deals they were going to be having.

We showed up around 9 pm and to find no one hanging around, so we decided this was perfect,
first in line great!
Just outside the store was an outside area with tables and chairs with free wifi what else could we want to pass the time it was quite chilly that night so I encouraged my 9 year old daughter to walk around a bit to warm up.
Well we weren't there but maybe 15 minutes when I heard a terrible blood curdling scream from my daughter coming from a few feet from me.
I rushed to see my daughter underneath hundreds of pounds of cement from an outdoor fountain that fell over on top of her.
I quickly fell to my knees and tried lifting this from her two feet which were pinned underneath.
She was screaming and I also was screaming for her to pull her feet out.
As much as I tried, I could not budge that heavy cement off her feet, it was so heavy!
All I could think was that her poor feet were broken from the weight. By some miracle she pulled her feet out.
Still screaming and crying and wet from the water from this gigantic contraption.
I dragged her to a bench nearby.
By then there were three girls there. I guess they were waiting down the way by one of the nearby stores.
One girl offered to call 911 and another offering my daughter a blanket.
Within minutes it seemed the paramedics were there assisting my daughter.
At the time when my daughter had all that heavy cement on top her I felt so helpless and desperate that I couldn't lift it off her.
I thought her feet were broken.
I couldn't understand how an innocent night could turn into a nightmare from hell!
I had never felt so scared and worried as a mother in my whole life! I felt like a complete failure as a nurturing mother to let something like this happen.
Come to find out what really happened was that my daughter was reaching up with her feet to see if she could get a better look into the fountain to see the coins from atop the upper level of the fountain and the lower base gave way.
This certain water fountain was quite not affixed to the other half which made the whole structure give way.
As unlucky as this night was , the paramedics did mention that she was lucky that she was not right in front of the fountain but she was standing on the side of the fountain.
So if she was in front of it, it would of fell on top her head which would of led to worse injuries maybe even death!
Today is Saturday night she is safe at home with me and alive and very much traumatized from this accident.
She has been having terrible nightmares at night and I feel so terrible for her.
My poor little girl , I wish we would had never been out that night and Safe in our own home.
But who was to know what that night was to be.
After departing from the mall the paramedics took us both to the hospital my daughter still crying they took x-rays to find out no broken bones.
I was in utter shock and disbelief and relieved at the same time. Witnessing what i had seen that night I COULDN'T BELIEVE HER feet were not broken.
She did leave the hospital with crutches and a brace for one of her feet. She did have a torn muscle and sprain.
The next day I awoke to pain so severe in my back and I felt like a truck had hit me.
I went to the doctors and found out I pulled my back when trying to lift that heavy cement off my daughter.
My daughter though much worse of course.
When all this was done and behind us,
I cannot understand how a shopping mall would allow for an outside structure like that fountain was not affixed to the building or the ground and not stable?
I am very concerned and puzzled how an accident like this could had been avoided? This was a catastrophe waiting to happen.

If the public happens to come across my story I wish to thank those wonderful young girls who were out that night at the Vintage Faire Mall located in Modesto Ca. Right near the Apple store

And also those two men from the paramedics that were so helpful and caring thank you so much!

If you happen to be at the mall outside of the area where I have described, you will see the fountain gone and can no longer be a liability to ones safety.









This fountain is not the one that fell on my daughter but I just wanted to show an example of the weight of what one might be

Breaking Dawn...part#2

Where do I begin?

Well first of all I will wonderfully admit that when Stephanie Meyers first came out with her first novel Twilight I first noticed the book at the Scholastic book fair that was being held in our local library. I remember walking over and picking up that book. What caught my attention was the cover "The shiny red apple" and then I noticed how thick the book was which I totally loved due to my love for reading. And I absolutely adore sinking myself into a book that I can quite get lost in it, "there is nothing worse than getting absorbed in a book and then finding out the story is over..." I loved also the fact that it was a paper back because paperbacks are so much cheaper to buy. Wow I just realized when the first twilight came out it was in paperback and with a different cover. So I decided to purchase the book along with some others for my daughter. Well I took the book home and began to read it and to tell you the truth I think I got through two chapters and it really didn't strike my attention. So that book kind of just sat on my book shelf for a month or so.... And then I began to hear something about that book again from who knows where...I heard it being about vampires and wear wolves and I thought how cheesy! Here I was thinking I probably didn't make a good choice purchasing this book. I really just thought it would stay on my bookshelf for good. Then I really don't remember but one day I opened it up and decided to give it another shot...
Then that's when it all changed....I never put that book down till the end..."I was definitely hooked!!" I couldn't wait till her next book, and the next, and the next...

And then finally Stephanie Meyers released her movies to the big screen. And i was just like all the crazed fans out there...I couldn't wait to see "Twilight" and then......

I was so disappointed! It was such a major disappointment.... The movie did not do any justice to Stephanie Meyer at all. I couldn't understand the book was just so awesome and the movie was like a total rip off!

Well after that I promised that I would never watch any more of the twilight movies, or at least pay to see them. So I did adventually see the rest slowly, but surely. Of course they never did meet any of my expectations. Until.....

Breaking Dawn 2

I must admit they finally did it right....
It was a rainy day and I was pretty bored I decided to call the movie theatre first to see if they're were any more tickets available. It just came out Thursday night the premier showing. And here it was Friday. And there were tickets so I drove over to the theatre and purchased tickets for the night showing.
Just two weeks previous I went to the movies to see Paranormal Activity and wow! I really don't think they could put a much worse movie EVER! That was definitely a waste of my time and Money and A Saturday.

So here we were getting ready to see Breaking Dawn part 2 and I didn't even see part 1 But I already knew the whole trilogy. So I was really pretty much happy leaving the theatre at the end it was a great movie! I guess they waited to the last to make a big impact on the whole Twilight story. Oh And I really loved the part when they put Stephanie Meyers on the wedding guest list.

Way to go "Breaking Dawn".!!!!!!!!

"Violets pet peeves"

Definition of the word "Pet Peeve"

Web definitions
an opportunity for complaint that is seldom missed; "grammatical mistakes are his pet peeve".

What is a pet peeve?
Answer:
It's your favorite minor complaint. It's when someone, or somethings, actions really irritate you and you just can't stand it. It could be irrational, and not even annoy anybody else. It can be different for anyone. For example, I hate it when a person goes to turn while driving, and they don't turn on their blinker. It is something small that bothers you that other people are not bothered by. And also when u do something u really like and u cant help but To do it.


We all have our pet peeves I'm sure, but I think I have a bit too many. I wonder what that says about me? Do I offend easily? Does everything bother me? Or everyone bother me? I know one thing for certain #1 There are definitely some morons that should not be allowed on our roads that we drive on. #2 People should not be allowed to wear their pajamas in public # 3 people should be made to wear deodorant especially in elevators. But those are just a couple of my pet peeves, and I definitely could write a book of the things in this world that really piss me off... But I won't get into that right now. So I will have one pet peeve every week just so were up to speed to what's going on in my head and I'm sure you all out there share the same feelings as I.

Today we will talk about Violet's pet peeve #1

As I was driving out today there was a lifted truck driving in front of me. Now this would not have been no big deal to me, but what really offended me was the fact that this truck had something hanging from it at the bottom by the back bumper. And it was a metal pair of balls!
And when I thought it couldn't get any worse the license plate read: "Don't just stroke it Ram it"
I mean "really"? What kind of people do these things? Are they that backwards? And how gross, a mans privates? On their vehicle, how utterly discussing! Come on guys do you really think that's manly?
Yes, the better to easily identify trashy people. Because these things are just disgusting. Every bit as disgusting as a giant plastic vagina would be hanging from your bumper.
Are men wishing...
Hell…even my balls are bigger.?.Are they trying to compensate for ???

I know I'm not the only one who finds this offensive. I found this interesting story about a woman, yes A Woman going to court over plastic testicles hanging from her truck. What is happening to our world? To our people?

Here is the link read it for yourself....

Preface…have you seen those scrotum sack things they sell which you can hang form the rear undercarriage of your vehicle? They look like this:

IPad Mini? Vs ipad3

I have been reading so many reviews about the new iPad mini that I have definitely come to a conclusion, that I did it right this time by choosing the iPad 3.
When I first heard about the iPad mini It struct me that wow! I want one, and then the price was pretty decent too. Then it turned out that it didn't even come with the wonderful retina display which I so adore with my IPad. Especially when I experienced first hand with my dear old first generation IPad. So for once I think, Or should I say yes! I did it right. "I'm sticking with my IPad 3". IPad mini sorry not for me....

Here's one of the reviews I found if your interested ...you decide...

Apple iPod touch 5

Still in the box


Out of the box

-it's so pretty isn't it?


Well I finally received my new iPod touch 5!
I tried looking everywhere even the apple store but they sold out so fast and yes it did come out a week earlier which I never knew but that's o.k. I finally got it from the online site of Walmart yesterday.
One thing for sure the apple store was no help to me their customer service sucks! They only had one model left it was the 64 gb in yellow, no thank you.
I really wanted in in pink. And paying over $300 was as high I was going to spend. I actually sold my iPod touch 4 so that helped quite a Lott.
I was so excited I was up all night till 1:00 am downloading music....
I cannot believe the camera is so amazing it has a flash for shooting pictures at night. And it's so thin and light. And the picture quality is excellent much bigger than the older model. My only complain is "I really need a case" I am so anal with all my electronics I don't want it to get scratched. I already know what cover I want it's a clear hard case so you can see the prettiness of the pink.

Good news!

My cat does not have cancer...



The huge lump that was on my cat eventually went away I am so happy and relieved.
I really never found out what it was but it sure worried me to death. This cat sleeps, eats and is just my best friend. I have never owned a cat that remains so loyal to me he follows me everywhere and fetches toys like a dog and is so smart. My cat stalks dogs when they pass our home it really frightens other people when they walk they're dogs. He doesn't bother our dog though. He's so affectionate and just really the best cat in the world!
I don't know what I would do if anything happened to him...
So when this ugly huge bump appeared I was thinking the worse. My cat is back to his feisty self...

Huge lump on my cat...

I feel so bad my conscience is killing me a little. I found this huge lump on my cats right leg on Friday and I have no idea what it is. I've gone on the net to see if other people have had this same problem and i really haven't found out much. I thought maybe it was a black widow bite or some kind of bug bite. It feels like its filled with fluid. My husband decided to try to pierce it with a needle but its skin was too thick and my cat kind of cried. My cat is showing no signs of illness he's still the ornery cat that he always is... I think I will wait and see a couple more days...and decide to visit the vet. My sister said she took her cat to the vet because it had an ear infection and that visit cost her $300
I really don't need that right now...

Real-life-hero-man-saves-six-year-old-girl-from-kidnapper

328 days ago...
With all of the horrifying news this summer, from the senseless murder of Caylee Anthony to the unfathomable Leiby Kletzky abduction and murder, we’re all hugging our kids that much tighter – and we’re beginning to lose our faith in humanity during those lie-awake-at-night moments. But this chilling story about a man who saves his six-year-old neighbor from her deranged kidnapper makes me believe once again that there are good people out there (or, in this case, true heroes).
Albuquerque, New Mexico dad Antonio Diaz Chacon was doing laundry at a relative’s home down the street from his own house when he saw a girl being thrown into a van. Another neighbor yelled out, “Let the child go!” but it was too late. Instinctively, Diaz Chacon hopped into his pickup truck and chased the van for 15 minutes through a series of neighborhoods until the van crashed into a pole. The driver fled on foot while Diaz Chacon, 24, ran to the little girl and took her home, reports Newser.
“I knew I had to catch him. I had to get the girl back from him and take her home, back where she belongs,” he told Associated Press. He said he had no fear until he saw the driver emerge for the van. “When he got down I was thinking, what if he has a gun?” Diaz Chacon says he thought of his own two girls (a seven-year-old and five-month-old) and how he would want someone to do the same for him. While all this action was happening, the girl’s 12-year-old sister frantically called 911 to report her little sister missing (Diaz Chacon’s wife did the same).
The abductor, Phillip Garcia, 29, eventually returned to his wrecked van and drove away, but was later captured by police.
Police reportedly found packing tape and a tie-down strap 25 feet from the van. And inside the van they discovered a glove, Leatherman tool, black satchel and an orange strapping similar to the strap found hidden under the rock. As police Sgt. Tricia Hoffman said, “This little girl was very lucky. We can only guess what would have happened to this child.”

11 year old girl who sets things on fire with her mind

I guess some movies are true especially when we have a true life documented story about this 11 year old girl who sets things on fire with her mind. I was just thinking I would hate to make enemy's with her.
Here's the story:




"The case of an 11-year-old girl in HCM City's Tan Binh District claimed to have supernatural fire- starting powers is continuing to baffle scientists. The girl, whose family claims she has an unusual mental power that can cause objects to burst into flames, has drawn a great deal of attention from the Vietnamese media. The girl's father said he first became aware of that his child was unusual when the family home's electrical network suffered several short circuits, about a month ago. Electricians were called to fix the short circuit but could not find the cause behind the power failures. He said the girl was taken to other houses where the same phenomenon took place each time. Her mattresses, fans and other equipment have burst into flames. The hotel room where her family stayed two weeks ago during their holiday on Vung Tau beach also suffered burns from a blaze. The family then realised that objects were burnt when the girl approached them, although her body did not radiate any electric sparks, said her father. The girl has been examined by doctors at Cho Ray Hospital and the Children's Hospital No. 2 but nothing abnormal has been found. But a team of scientists from the Centre of Research and Application for Radio-active Geo- biological Energy at Hong Bang University has also carried out tests on the girl and confirmed that she is unusual. Prof. Nguyen Manh Hung, director of the university, said that the girl is capable of burning things arround her.
