Friday Flashback for 15 June 07

For Father's Day, my sister and I would get Dad some pretty, um, interesting gifts.

One year, Tori gave Dad an ashtray, despite the fact that Dad had quit smoking years before. Of course, there was always the compliment of ties and tie-tacks and socks. We even tried the breakfast in bed thing, but Dad never liked to eat in bed, so he'd get up and come to the table in the kitchen to eat.

We sure could have used those gift cards that are so popular now back then. Then Dad could've gotten something he really needed. But he always appreciated everything we gave him, and probably kept everything until the day he died. Dad was a packrat that way.

My dad was a sentimental man. And on this Father's Day, just like the ones over the past seven years, I will think of him and be a little sad.

Miss you, Dad.

Stef's Horrorscope: the "I've got to get the car fixed or find alternate transportation because I can't miss any more school" edition

If something is broken, you need to fix it right away and then get on with your life. The path you're on right now has a few distractions and pitfalls, so you don't have time to waste on trying to figure out the best way to improve a less-than-perfect situation. Fast action is required. So have whatever tools you may need at the ready. You need to concentrate on forward motion in your life -- there's no time for backward glances.

I am so frustrated right now, I can't even put it into words.

Stef's Horrorscope: the "The Prof Didn't Show" edition

Aquarius (1/20-2/18)

Memories of your last sizzling rendezvous will be brought to mind when you witness a private moment between two people. Be your usual discreet self, and move along without blowing their cover. Your gift for discretion will be valuable in many situations today. A powerful person has been looking for a confidante, and you will demonstrate that you are a person who can be trusted. This could open the door to a major career opportunity.

Dari's Friday Flashback

My sister and I were invited to many birthday parties when we were little kids, mostly for other kids in the neighborhood. This one stands out...

It was for John, the boy who lived on the corner. He was my age, and his sister, Susan, was a year older.

As usual, Mom had us dress up in nice clothes for the party, not realizing (or not being told) that the party was in the local public park. So, there Tori and I stood, in our nice party clothes, not being able to do anything for fear of getting our clothes dirty. We were able to play the party games, such as pin the tail on the donkey, but when it came time for the racing games, or the playground games, we were just out of luck. If I had thought about it enough, I would have felt stupid, but when you're a 7 or 8 year old, you just haven't lived long enough to be embarrassed. I think it was our mom who was embarrassed more than Tori and I could ever be at that age.

You have much more power than you think you do -- just with positive thinking, you can create a good day today, no matter how the morning starts. It's important that you not let how you feel when you wake up dictate how you feel throughout your day. The day's events are not set in stone. As each minute ticks by, you can take it and make it what you want it to be. Your brilliance is apparent when you turn a cloudy day into a sunshiny one.

Okay, I'm doing this only because I can't sleep.

Aquarius (1/20-2/18)

You've been very good for a long time, so it's okay for you to slip a little today and do something that's 'against the rules.' You shouldn't do anything dangerous or illegal, of course -- but give yourself the green light to cheat on your diet, take a shortcut on a household chore, or make a frivolous little purchase. Don't worry -- you won't get addicted to being bad! Rather, you'll remind yourself how easy it is to be good!

This might make more sense if I were seeing someone

But I think I would be a good girlfriend.

You are a Great Girlfriend

When it comes to your guy, you're very thoughtful But you also haven't stopped thinking of yourself You're the perfect blend of independent and caring You're a total catch - make sure your guy knows it too!

Are You a Good Girlfriend?

*sigh*...if only.

Can't dwell on that now. Too many other things to do.

Sleep... or the lack thereof

This is the worst night in a long time. I haven't been to sleep yet. Not that I haven't tried, sleep is just eluding me. I guess the pain I'm feeling doesn't help... I took Aleve before I attempted to go to bed (okay, I did go to bed, I just haven't fallen asleep), but it's not helping.

I'm watching TV. There's nothing on at 4:30am.

Well, I'm going to try and sleep. Goodnite and have a safe holiday weekend.

Hi, cowboy!

Nothing to say

I haven't felt like writing anything, and it's been like hell pulling something out of my head to write about.

So why not write about not having anything to say?

Cuz I don't wanna.

I'll be myself again in a couple of days. Maybe I'll have something to talk about then. Or not.




That's all from where I sit.

--MorelaterZ--

Not a lot to say

I think I'll go check the mail.

Put the dishes away.

Make some phone calls.

Take a nap.

Not necessarily in that order.

Dari's Friday Flashback #2

For today, hmmm, let's see...

I was thinking about this just the other day-- the ponytails my mom used to fix my hair into when I was 6, 7, 8 years old. My hair was quite long, so Mom would give me braids, or just separate my hair into equal sections and use an elastic to secure them. It was easier for her, because she's the one who brushed my hair out each night before I went to bed, and it kept my hair out of my face when I was playing outside with my neighborhood friends.*

Then, one summer, I begged my parents to let me cut my hair. They relented and it was cut from waist length to just below the shoulder. By that time, Mom was letting me fix my own hair.

Now, it's short. The last time it was really long was 1999. The longer it got, the worse it looked, so I chopped it all off. I don't think it's been longer than shoulder length since then. It's a lot easier to manage now.

*Yes, that's what we kids did in the 70's-- we played outside until dark. No video games and crap back then.

Hmmm, interesting...

In looking at the Rose State website, two of my classes have already posted my grades for the semester.

One of them was for the class where I had my first final and screwed it up royally. I actually got a decent grade out of it.

Once the grades for all four classes are posted, I might post them here. And, I might not. So far, I have a 3.5 GPA going on... but that's only for those two classes.

Interesting, indeed...

Be still my achy breaky heart...!

I can sleep in tomorrow!

How much you want to bet that I'll still get up at 7:30am like I have everyday since January 22nd?

Then, it's back to the US History stuff...



That's all from where I sit.

--MorelaterZ--

I think this everytime I turn off my computer

My laptop "sleeps" more than I do!

Does this not suck, or what?


thanks 4 peeking, cowboy

Stef's Horrorscope: the Why in the Hell am I Still Awake Edition

Aquarius (1/23-2/22)
for Monday, May 7, 2007

Your mental energy and your physical energy are out of sync today, and you will need to adjust on a dime in order to preserve as much harmony as possible. Luckily, a lot of people close to you today are ready to calm your mood or give you an energy boost when you need it. Humor will have an extremely invigorating effect, so whenever you start to feel tired today, visit a funny website or take a few minutes to chat with someone who can always make you giggle.


(Of course my mental and physical energies are out of sync! Finals are nigh! LOL)

Say go to bed, Stef
==>Go to bed, Stef

My hair is saved!

in that I won't be pulling it out in frustration for the time being.

My homework is done, and the studying will start anew tomorrow.

My first final is Thursday. Help?!

I wouldn't mind if someone sent me this...

It's at virtualflorist.com, and it's called (believe it or not!) "Sweet Stephanie"...however, when you click on the pic to go to the ordering page, it's called "Sweet Sounds of Summer".
(and no, this is NOT a hint...)

Whew!

Perhaps The Master of the One Line Email moved on to something else and will now leave me alone for a while...

But someone else always has an open invitation to come visit.
