lol Anyone remember that childhood story? I think it was a chicken little who had like an acorn fall on their head and decided the sky was falling... Yeah something like that.
That is about how I feel for these predictions of the world as we know it coming to an end. Not that I believe it will continue on forever. I simply do not believe anyone who is out proclaiming they know exactly when it will cease to exist.
No one who has previously predicted it has ever been correct.
The biggest prediction up coming is the 2012 non sense. Gonna pass us by like Y2K folks I promise.
The last time the known world was put on notice that things as they knew it were going to change was at the flood. There will be no other clear universal specific sign. Live right and ready to exit because life is a death sentence that is not promised to any of us for more than the breath we last took.
I like a saying I see on buttons and bumper stickers: "If you are not living on the edge you are taking up too much space."
Yes sure you can call me a radical. We can discuss this further if you are intrigued or even want more information I don't mind sharing.
Just a friendly PSA for those tempted to be culled away by crafty entertainers. The good news I guess is that I haven't heard of any doomsday cults planning on sipping poisoned juice or anything to hasten their mass exit. The majority of those who will get sucked into these nonsense followings will live to get over themselves and their folly.
The sad thing is when false prophets are revealed in these days they are not forced into hiding much less repentance. Instead they recalculate and the sheeple just regroup and keep hanging on.
Please if you are going to head in a direction don't follow someone who has gotten you lost. Might as well strike out on your own if you can't find a map and read it well.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your life every day. Don't spend it trying to figure out things that are none of your business there are plenty of other things you need to be doing. Leave a legacy.

A sick dd
The darling daughter is ill this day. The saddest thing a parent has to tred through is doctoring a kidlet who is under the weather. She is taller than me and last weekend we bleached her hair before striping it with three different colors.
None of this matters when she starts the day early with "Mom I don't feel well." sigh
No matter what else is going on you are reminded how much you love and care for them as well as the fragility of life. So now she is resting. I had a very late nap from 11pm to 3:30 a.m. so I am wide awake!
She had a popsicle before drifting off and now I think I will too. The weird thing would be yesterday when I awoke around this time my tummy was grumbling and seeming upset. Later when I logged into Facebook one of my contacts also wasn't feeling well tummy wise. I suggested it was in the air 'cause I hadn't even had any water yet. lol sigh.
Sending out hope and prayers for others who are dealing with sick friends and family. I know a couple of people have some rather serious issues going on. It is a reminder to be really greatful daily for health and strength. As well as to take the best care of self one can.

We Are Blessed Do You See?
I have to be at work in 11 hours. I just cleaned my bathroom and started a load of laundry. It is 5 am lol this is my life. I am not up early...I just don't sleep much. A nap is scheduled between perhaps 7am & 11am....that is the plan.
hahahaha about plans. My plans anyway, some days I barely know why I make them. Maybe they are just an out line of how my days and life could go.
Sunday my plan was to attend church then pick up my daughter and head to the last day of the state fair. Weird Al was performing. Wanting to catch the show @ 8pm meant we needed to be there in time to see all the sites and enjoy some rides.
Saturday night was another like this one where sleep was rather elusive and my scheduled nap was interrupted by the daughter calling to get details on our days plans. Feeling a bit run down I opted to watch my churches service via the internet which let me sleep till 11.
Problems with the internet and computer meant I could not at all multi task like I wanted. Just to paint my nails and other small things like take some pictures to add here and elsewhere. Does this sound sacrilegious? Just keep reading....
The plan was to meet with the daughter or even be at the fair by 2pm. It was 4pm and I was leaving the house in Rocklin. Dropping by the trash bins to deposit some stuff I saw a nice looking vacuum sitting around with a sign that said FREE works well.
Stashed that in the garage and headed for the freeway which was a nightmare! Skirted on to surface streets. Had to pick up some groceries to bless the step family where my daughter has been staying and finally we were free to go.
Speaking of free as we walked and waited to enter Cal Expo having parked a block or so away a lady handed us two $2 off coupons for entrance. Before we got wanded & entered the gates a young couple in front of us turned and offered us half of their Poppy Pack. Entrance to the fair FREE.
The concert was sold out but just as good in the public seating surrounding the venue. We saw and heard everything. It went on past 10pm. The daughters step sisters spirited her away for a bit to enjoy a few more rides than we had time for. After the concert we bought some more tickets and enjoyed a few more.
These kinds of days filled with simple blessings are praise and SHOUT worthy to me.

Odd usual night
Last night was another one of those nights. As odd as it was ordinary for me anyway. I close up FTA right on schedule and head to one of the two week night services @ my church Nations2Harvest.
Service starts half an hour before I get off work so there is that, however when I arrive I almost feel like I did not need to be there since the message is more for the stragglers who need to step up their game and commit.
I notice a new gal watching intently sitting alone. After the message I stand around awkwardly during the transition. People come and go I say hi, bye and how ya here and there.
Stashing my purse, notebook and Bible I notice a member who has always been gracious towards me and head over to say hello. This seats me near the new gal and eventually we exchange greetings.
I chat with the member catching up, talking of future plans. Suddenly the daughter of the member I am speaking to, who is sitting nearby and has been chatting with the new gal, pipes up. The new woman I am sitting next to wants to learn to crochet.
All I could do was laugh and head back to my items to grab a business card. By faith she told me she had gone to the store and bought supplies just that day determined to learn the craft not really knowing where or how to begin.
Not sure how helpful my over load of info was linking her to Ravelry, telling her about Flickr, including my # & email. Lastly I mentioned YouTube for instant video help. lol sigh
I wonder if this was more the reason I needed to be there? It was nice to have praise & worship time following the service. I do miss that regular dance space. Something elegant and floaty happens in those moments it's like meditation but not. I could do this at home but come to think of it I never have.
I further wonder if I can move the hand of God with my faith....something about having not for asking not....ggrrr lol sigh

Last night was weird....lol sigh
Ok so I am leaving work hours after closing as usual. We have too much fun there and there is always so much to do. My boss and I work well together and she is gracious enough to give me a lift to my car since I have to park sometimes a block away and it is dark.
So like so many other times this was the case. Hopping from her car into mine I headed home. Tummy rumbling thinking of what to eat it was after 9pm so too late to stop by Trader Joe's to get a sample.
Ok well I have groceries still no big. Somehow however I am drifting to the exit lane and heading for Taco Bell. Really? Do I need this? Can I afford this? Why am I veering off? I actually pondered this question:
"What date with destiny could I have between the drive through and eating my food this evening?"
Zipping through the drive line receiving my order I decide to pull over to chow down. I like to mess with my order redistribute the sour cream and other such things. There I sit when I could have been on the freeway already moving through citrus heights.
I am munching away when my phone rings. Who is calling after 10pm? Must be my daughter. I am tempted to not answer and just get my grub on, however I look to check. It's my boss. That's curious we did not leave any pressing unfinished business and I know she left the building. I answer. "Did you realize you left your laptop bag in my car?" she asks me.
Yikes lol sigh had I been past her I probably would not have wanted to turn around to pick up my bag & computer. Unusually I came home and went right to bed rather than logging on.
This past calendar year has seen me eating much fast food between couch surfing and those handfuls of nights sleeping in my car. Will it happen again surely. Does forgetfulness also happen? Of course.
Still it gives me pause how things all played out. Fun fun fun

Rebalancing...
I finally had two days off in a row lol. I celebrated by being holed up here at home but not alone. The only place I went was to class for my summer final Monday night.
I had my dd (darling daughter) for one night and then a friend of hers too for another.
Thankfully things all went well. Girls are fun they weren't too crazy mine even cleaned my room a bit helping me get unpacked and organized since I have been moving in while working over time. They were so cute we went to Trader Joes on our way home for the sleep over night. The girls bought fruit for smoothies and salad stuff plus a meatless entree for their meal.
I am not anti meat but that is a kick they are experimenting with. They bought a tad of junk food but the balance was impressive.
Did we dodge a heat wave??? hahahahahaha yikes All I want when the temp creeps over 97 to stay is to stay by the pool or indoors eating ice cream.
Had some interesting experiences through the weekend. Not sure what I can do about a problem that I see...lol with the answers to prayers I have been seeing this year there is no way to predict how things will turn out. I just know things have come to my attention, I wouldn't mind seeing change, I care about all involved, I am not alone.
What do you do when you see a community nuisance?
Crafty fun @ work on the horizon trying to balance with the other things I think I should be doing.....grrr why can't it just be simple. Till I can figure it out maybe I can meet some yarny folks here in Rocklin where I am spending the next few months.

A Heat Wave & Babies
So what we have in abundance seems to be new life and a temperature on the rise!
My daughters step sister, my roommates daughter and my boss' son have all had baby girls of recent fun, fun, fun.
It's been a long time since I had so much baby fun. The heat wave I am less fond of tho it has been pretty mild and I am not too melty.
This has been the toughest year of my life so I am trying to remember to take things all in stride. I have moved half a dozen or more times. Am now out in Rocklin when my life is all over Sacramento.
I have been avoiding this place (blogger) because...it is just so over done and not cute. Find me on Rav, FB, Twitter, etc. Better yet connect with me over coffee or yarn @ work or out and about in public.
See me @ the River Cats cash give away night August 25th if not viewing Weird Al @ the state fair on the 1st!!!
