| You Are a Witch (or Warlock) |
 You are deviously brilliant and a perfect manipulator. You somehow always end up getting what you want - without anyone knowing you're working behind the scenes. Crafty and cunning, you can work your way out of any jam. And it's easy for you to get people to do what you want, whether you're working for good or evil. Your greatest power: Mind control Your greatest weakness: Making people your puppets You play well with: Ghosts |
Os here, posting for Moose. Just got word that her mom finally passed on late this afternoon. It's been long and draining for her mom and the family, but she's now gone to a much better place, free from pain.
Stole this from Os. My Desktop is pretty bare. I've moved all the "often used" stuff to the left hand side bar, I have a Webshots calendar on the top right. Like Os I have a rotating wallpaper with my own pictures. This was taken during the '06 summer trip to Glacier Park with Rachel. I have a huge blow-up of that picture to frame.

What a wonderful time to visit the National Parks! With a bit of a change in elevation you can find some beautiful colors starting in September already. I drove from east to west through the entire park last Thursday and made the route back to Denver via Winter Park. It was a splendid day. Thought I should share a few with you but I was in one of those moods where I didn't take a whole bunch of pictures, just wanted to enjoy it and keep it tucked away in the private of my head.
With a little luck and some timing four of us from Carroll College were able to get together on Friday night in Denver. Three of us were in the same class and the 4th was just a year ahead of us. We all lived together at various times during and after college. Some of us have stayed in very good touch but for the most part don't get to see each other very often so this was a great opportunity to catch up. 
I went playing in the woods again. This time in Rocky Mountain National Park northwest of Denver, Colorado. This is the scene from Bear Lake. I found a nice, flat rock jutting out into the lake to lay on and watched the sun sparkle on the water and light up the leaves. It was a beautiful sight. 
I made it to heaven on earth today!
The best way to get tickets on game day? Dress in local colors and be cute. Brianne and I scored seats on the Broncos bench twenty yard line, 30 rows up! Only in Denver can you wear an orange shirt and blue jewelry and be cool! 
At kickoff thousands of orange balloons were released and then there was the fly by by the Air Force. Yes, I cried! I was so happy. 
No boring game day outfit for me! We bought the beads, visor, and tattoo in the stadium and put the face tattoo on in the ladies room. The crazy Raiders fan behind me kept trying to touch it. It was funny for the first quarter. We nearly called security by the 4th but he got awful damn quiet during the overtime. 
He did it again!! Jason Elam saves the day! Jay Cutler had an average performance but our defense blew a 13 point lead and sent us to overtime after Elam tied it up with a field goal. Oakland got the first chance to score in OT but a timely Denver timeout foiled the first "good" attempt from around 46 yards. The second time they missed and the crowd went wild! Several plays later, Denver was on the 6 yard line goal to goal and brought in Elam for the game winning field goal! Complete mania...the crowd goes wild!
I think he might be a cross between Yoda and the dog from Men in Black but gosh darn it, he's awful darn adorable! I'm off to Denver for the week, hope the older two take good care of the little one!
I couldn't resist adopting an adorable kitten who already came with the name Montana, now could I? Last night he tuckered himself out playing all over and crashed on my shoulder as I was watching TV. Yes, I am as tired as I look but who cares. I have a new snuggle bug.
It's a Friday night and I'm house sitting. After the week I've had the house sitting has been the easy part and somewhat a source of relaxation. I'm in charge of two great dogs...Bridger and Mo in a house full of Montana art, bagels from the Bagel Company in Helena, MT, pictures of Glacier National Park, and a beautiful back yard green and full of produce. It's awesome!
So tonight I'm curled up with the dogs watching Dr G on Discovery Health and updating my book lists. I'm way behind in my journal I started to record what I've read this year, the books on my nightstand list, and my Non-Fiction Five Challenge. I'm done with my August selection, I just have to do my post. So to relax a bit and get in the mood I thought I would borrow this from my fellow book lover, Kelly.
What are you reading right now? Chocolate Legs: Sweet Mother, Savage Killer?
Do you have any idea what you’ll read when you’re done with that? Infidel
What magazines do you have in your bathroom right now? Oprah, Glamour, Country Woman
What’s the worst thing you were ever forced to read? I’m not sure I’ve been forced to read anything, I usually will try to read anything at least once. I remember having to read Silas Marner by George Eliot as a Freshman in high school. I liked the book, I didn’t like the worksheets we had to do with it.
What’s the one book you always recommend to just about everyone? The Alienist by Caleb Carr
Admit it, the librarians at your library know you on a first name basis, don’t they? No, I rarely go to the library. I buy nearly all my books new. As I’m getting older I’m realizing the value of used books and the good ole library card. In college I only went to the library when we had group meetings for projects or to stop in and copy all the articles Father Harrington made us read for Physiology. It’s too darn quiet in a library!
Is there a book you absolutely love, but for some reason, people never think it sounds interesting, or maybe they read it and don’t like it at all? Stiff…People are usually disgusted by the topic so they don’t give it a chance but it’s a great book.
Do you read books while you eat? While you bathe? While you watch movies or TV? While you listen to music? While you’re on the computer? While you’re having sex? While you’re driving? I’ll read with soaking in the bath but that’s about it other than curled up in bed at night or on the couch on a rainy day. I’ve tried reading at the gym on the bike and such but that just doesn’t go well.
When you were little, did other children tease you about your reading habits? Yes, I devoured books. I would turn in three times as many book reports as my classmates, do the most elaborate “productions” for book reports, and I even broke into my own King Kong piggy bank to buy more books than I was allowed by mom and dad with the monthly book orders. Not only did the kids make fun of me, but my teacher tattled on me and my mom moved my piggy bank.
What’s the last thing you stayed up half the night reading because it was so good you couldn’t put it down? Double Bind by Christopher Bohjahlian
It is worse...this is just the house. I don't have my own pictures of my flooded car. It's in front of my friend Paul's house across town unable to be started after it was flooded in at least 2 feet of water as I came around a residential street curve in a downpour. Before I could back out or rush through it, my engine died and I was stuck. It's pushed out of the water, air filter is soaked, car won't start...mechanic is towing it tomorrow.
