Inspirational Day 2006-11-06 06:24:32 If I said today was busy, that would be an understatement. I volunteered to canvass South City St. Louis this afternoon for the Claire McCaskill campaign. I went along with H. and D. for my first canvassing experience. Thankfully, the weather was not too cold, but it was windy enough for a jacket despite having on a t-shirt and long-sleeved t-shirt. I’m not sure of the total amount of homes that we visited… doors knocked and people we spoke to, but it was a very interesting experience. I believe that you do not truly know how much work goes in the campaign and election process until you volunteer and participate.
That afteroon H. and I had lunch at the Hampton Imos. She feels that the Forest Park location has the best wings and Imos pizza; I say that Hampton has the best. I ordered a lunch special; 8″ hamburger pizza, house salad and strawberry soda. The strawberry soda was UNF. After talking for a while we decided it was time to head over to Forest Park at Read more:Inspirational

Election Day 2006 2006-11-09 06:42:24 Last night I was glued to NBC news on the television and CNN.com on the desktop. I was exhausted and upset with the counts. I went to bed pretty disappointed because Talent was ahead in the polls over McCaskill and Proposition 2 was behind with NOs in the lead. On the bright side of things, the legislation for raising minimum wage was in the lead and favored to pass.
After I woke up this morning, JT encoraged me to check out the election results. After what I saw on the news last night, I was hesistant to look at any final results. I went to Opera, opened CNN.com, scrolled to the U.S. Senate and Missouri election results and I was ecstatic. With results pouring in from St. Louis City, County and other areas, McCaskill took the lead over Talent and was declared the winner.
Also, Propostion 2 was passed… which is something that I wanted, but also a surprise after I saw the figures before bedtime. I pray that stem cell research will lead to finding a cure for my son and all ot Read more:Election

A Little Easier This Time 2006-11-11 05:44:23 Yesterday I took William to the doctor for his fourth scheduled transfusion. I was happy to hear from JT that on Wednesday, William cried very little from the IV. Fortunately the same occurred today… when his nurse M. entered the room, William did cry a bit, but relaxed a great deal after I gave him a Dum Dum sucker. Bribery with candy is essential. M. only had to poke William once with the needle and she easily put the IV in his left arm. This was a complete 180 from last month and mom was happy.
William had a brief nap while the saline was hooked up to his IV. This drastically reduced the crankiness later in the afternoon.
This time T. removed the blood; she took out 80 mL like M. did last month. Unlike last month, this time William was very friendly and willing to let T. do her job and help him.
Transfusion day is already a long day, but what made the day even longer was that I William and I took the bus to my job to pick up some information and then we stopped at the He

People that Should… 2006-11-20 05:49:12 We had a late start with getting the twins over to Nana’s house today. First, I didn’t think that was going to even happen, then after plans reversed back to normal… after getting ready, we had a bit of a delay when JT locked the keys in our newly purchased used mini-van. No fret… thankfully, we have AAA. After JT mentioned calling a locksmith, I swiftly said… “Call AAA, they’ll be here in about 30 minutes.” And indeed, they did come in 30 minutes. That is customer service folks. Side note: I really need those tools that they use to open up cars. Never know when you will get locked out *smirk*
This afternoon, we had lunch at McDowells (what I call McDonalds), made extra keys for the van at Ace Hardware and saw the movie, The Departed at AMC West Olive 16. The Departed was an excellent movie and I enjoyed all two and one half hours of it.
Everyone needs a good laugh from time to time. George Carlin is hilarious, check it out.

Thanksgiving 2006 2006-11-24 06:07:14 What am I thankful for…
Everyday when I wake up, I am thankful that God lets me breathe another day. I am thankful for my life. I am thankful for my health… I am working on my health, going to join a gym very soon. Next week matter of fact. Still working on the depression. Still working on other things. Although, I am not healthy like I want to be… I can breathe, walk, talk, work, think and carry my children… so that I am thankful for.
I am thankful for my children. William and Keisha. Everyday I look at my beautiful angels I thank God that you brought them into my life. I never dreamed of having twins, but here they are, my pride and joy. They have the capability to drive me nuts one minute and hug them with love the next. They are two years old now… how did that happen? When I last remembered, I was coming home from the hospital with newborns in infant carseats. Where did the time go? Keisha and William I am thankful that you are mine.

What Tarot Card am I? 2006-11-24 16:17:43
You are The Hierophant
Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.
All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.
The Hierophant’s purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant’s only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

Time is a Lot of Things 2006-11-26 06:05:48 Time is a lot of the things people say that God is.
There’s the always preexisting, and having no end.
There’s the notion of being all powerful — because nothing can stand against time, can it?
Not mountains, not armies.
And time is, of course, all-healing.
Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return.
And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil..
This quote is the prologue from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon. JT checked the book out from the library. I read a few pages of it and didn’t care for the book, but I absolutely love this prologue. Time is God and Memory is the Devil. Interesting.

Song of the Moment 2006-11-29 20:23:35 I dig this song a lot. Â Very relaxing and romantic.
Kem- I Can’t Stop Loving You
[Verse 1:]
I think about the day I met the perfect stranger, I think about us.
And I think about the day I got wrapped around your fingers, I think about us.
The sun was shinning on you
The lord was smiling on me
And love was calling us I had my mind made up.
[Chorus:]
And I can’t stop loving you
I can’t help myself
And I can’t get over you
No matter what I tell myself baby.
[Verse 2:]
Never thought I’d ever love any one else in my weakness, I think about us.
And I think about the day you left without speaking, I think about us.
I think about the love we had for our children, I think about us.
I think about the way we laughed without a reason, I think about us girl.
There will be no more lies
Somebody tell me why I feel like I’m dying.
Lord what’s come over me
Ohh baby can’t you see
[Chorus:]
That I can’t stop loving you
I can’t help myself

The 19 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Death
1. After being decapitated, the average person remains conscious for an additional 15-20 seconds. Talk about a way to go.
2. Mourning your dear departed cat? You could shave your eyebrows like the ancient Egyptians used to. Then again, maybe a trip to the pet cemetery would be easier.
3. May want to rethink what you bury your loved ones in. An old wives' tale claims that if a woman is buried wearing the color black, she'll come back to haunt the family.
4. Speaking of preventing hauntings, yet another old wives tale led to the institution of burial wreaths. It was believed that the wreath would encircle the spirit of the dead person, thereby preventing them from Read more:Unconscious
