Ghost in the machine
Ants, many tiny little black anty bastards have invaded my home. They are the worst of squatters and decided to move in full force while I was away learning about lymph. I am declaring war! Pizza, lawn cutting, laundry.... and then.... ant genacide... possible through some chemical means. I am pondering calling in the big guns. Oh and life... rubber no longer holds the borders of my soul. :) Was waiting for Melissa to get home, she is home, off to the grocery store to purchase pizza which is faze one of my plan. | | Saturday, July 25th, 2009 | | 11:08 am |
a tumble
One week left of the summer. The past three years have been such a time of change and growth. Sometimes I have felt like I was in the spin cycle in the wash tub. Sometimes I have felt like I was perfectly exactly where I was supposed to be. This morning I find myself feeling damn grateful for the people in my life and the amazing kindness I've known. I wonder what the dryer will feel like. :) Anyone else feeling particularly bright shiny and hopeful today? | | Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 | | 3:18 pm |
Sheeple - blame the bear
Morality meme... 1. Would you commit murder for hire if a ridiculous amount of money were involved? Nope. 2. Would you allow a child to die if it meant 5 other adults could live? Nope. Can see the logic in this, but would probably go for the kid, and expect the adults to protect themselves. My mommy gears would overwhelm logic. I have a hard drive to protect the innocent and helpless. If the adults were incapable of protecting themselves due to mental deficit or something, then it'd be a toss up. 3. Would you mug an old lady if you were starving and on the street for money to buy food? Nope, but I am not above panhandling, or begging. 4. Do you believe sex should be saved for marriage? um... not according to my pants. 5. Do you believe it is ok to have multiple sexual partners at once? Yup, if everyone is open and honest. 6. Do you believe in the death penalty? Yes, would be happy to pull the switch in some cases. 7. Do you believe in any type of righteous justification to take the law in to your own hand, if a family member was hurt by someone for example? Yup. If someone ever rapes or brutally beats my child their life is forfeit if I can manage in any way to get to them. Seven years in jail seems a reasonable price to pay for taking them off the planet. 8. A stranger is walking down the street and drops his wallet but doesn't realize it. No one is around. What do you do? Hey duffus, you dropped your wallet. 9. Have you stolen anything in the last 12 months? Nope. Took some wilting veggies out of Clay's fridge so they wouldn't rot and plan to put them in a soup. (he is in washington taking a class) Don't think that is stealing though, but I didn't ask first. Clay do you mind that I pinched your wilting celery? 10. Would you steal candy from a baby? LOL, depends on whether or not you are talking about a Halloween stash. Have to admit that when the kid was tiny, I felt no qualms about pinching the occasional snickers bar from her Halloween stash. 11. Should marriage be between 1 man/1 woman? Um okay, and 1 woman/ and 1 woman, and 1 man/ and 1 man, and 2 women/ and 1 man. etc... on and on. 12. Abortion? Glad it's legal. For me would be murder. 13. Should religion be a part of society? It's an important aspect of life for many, so why not. 14. Do you squish bugs just because they are bugs? Roaches yes. Ants, usually. Spiders I like, they eat baby roaches and ants. | | Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 | | 8:38 pm |
meh
I hate it, but it's not that horrible, and I need something up. I've been resisting the whole website thing for too long. www.loritherolfer.com meh... Does it make you want to be Rolfed??? | | Sunday, June 21st, 2009 | | 11:09 am |
Happy Father's Day
Happy Daddy's day to one of the best men I know. Congrats for letting her live one more year!!!! Sometimes she surely doesn't make it easy. Thank you for being who you are, and loving her. Now... it's off to go "ride the cow" at Gram and Gramps. Life is good. I have a kitty. My heart is full. | | Sunday, June 7th, 2009 | | 12:01 pm |
Puter Dead
Okay, so... like my hard drive died and took with it lots of stuff I totally should have had backed up, but well... yeah... I didn't soo... yeah. It may take me a while to not be checking my mail at the library or my folks or Clays. I'm here. Not actually hibernating, just in a technology vortex of doom. Will see you all at SELF on Saterday. :) Er... or some of you...er.. or.. well.. yeah. Might even manage to drag along my submissive friend and dump his poor carcass into the kiddie pool. Kid's been long without water if you know what I mean. Might plot and plan a little mischief if he's in tow. Anyone want to flash a very shy guy, who blushes and giggles when he's startled. It's fun. I promise. SOOOOOOooooOOOO looking forward to seeing Ahpook and Imp, and Q, and Freiya, and Dave and arden. (If they are going, I don't even know, I'm that out of touch right now.) And of course all the hot and sexy Atlanta crew. Saw a warthog with a very fashionable and stylish do this weekend. Spent time with friends and loved ones. Life is fluid as a river and ever changing. Sometimes that makes me scared, but mostly right now.... I'm just simply happy. | | Thursday, May 28th, 2009 | | 2:38 pm |
Little bird
There is a bird outside my office window busily building a nest. I am curious to see what kind of bird it is, but afraid to look and scare it away. They are building a nest in my windowsill at my home office. It pleases me, perhaps I will get to watch baby birds grow. There may be pretty little eggs. Hello little industrious bird! It is noisy with fluttering wings, and shaking little sticks about. The sounds make me smile and make me feel like spring. I feel so much like spring. | | Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 | | 12:06 pm |
Quiet
Not dead. Not sad. Not lost. Just quiet. Am happy. Am a bit amazed by my life and the flow of it. Feel loved. Feel love. Feel blessed. Things keep changing. Maybe that is just the way of my life at this age, lots of change and fluidity. Would like more financial prosperity. Would love to travel more. Would like the pool to be ready for summer. Feel safe. Feel shiny. Feel okay in the world. Just quiet. peaceful. | | Sunday, April 19th, 2009 | | 8:18 pm |

My kid is just cool.
She made cupcakes for Clark, whose birthday is tomorrow. My oven doesn't work right so we made them at Greg's while he was off adventuring. Melissa left him two with this note.  | | Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 | | 1:19 pm |

Transmission Blues - Part Duex
Okay, well blues may be overstating things. I called Chancy auto this morning to get a bid on what needs to be done. Their bid was 500-600 dollars, which is firk tons better than 1200-1800 dollars. SO guess where the car is right now? Every time I read the name Chancy Auto, I have to laugh. They do good work and I have used them before. Chancy is the family name. It's fun to tell people where my car is, "Oh, I took it over to Chancy Auto." It sounds like the beginning to a readers digest funny. Maybe they are just one of the rare mechanics who believe in honesty in advertising. I am... amused, and happy that it will cost less, even if it still is a gigantic amount. Fehhh on grown up responsibilities. | | Saturday, March 21st, 2009 | | 8:53 pm |
Sing those transmission blues...
My car, is at the doctor. The computer in the transmission has gone batty. I shudder to contemplate the cost, it's too horrific to write down. However, it IS quite a bit cheaper than a new car. So.. yeah... I'll pay them. Q is being quiet, so I'm sure she is having fun. Ya'll think good thoughts for her, she is getting something burned/scarred onto her person late tonight. It's been on my mind and I am sad I couldn't be out there to support her. I'm sure that she is having fun though. She totally has senior itus. Those freshmen better staple their pants on! Miss Kitty, Clay and I helped Clays's uncle move today. His uncle is a pill, and retarded, and a grumpy old man. He hadn't packed a thing. I can't really explain the look on Clay's mom's face when all three of us showed up. Let's put it this way, when she got back from taking the first carload over and saw how much Kitty and I had gotten done, she actually teared up. Two Capricorns, determined and willing, can pack a firk ton of crap. Clay's Mom and Uncle are close to useless when it comes to packing. We got him moved, all but a few glasses and some plates. He had no packing material. At least he has a truck. OY!! It turned out good. The kid made me proud. She didn't complain a bit and worked steady and without any need for prompting. She's really an asset at things like this. A few years ago when she was only ten or so, we moved Clay's Grandma. Melissa took a post by the pantry and announced that she "HAD THIS." She proceded to unpack and organize Grandma's new kitchen. Pretty cool kid. She makes me stupid proud sometimes. There are few adults I would rather have working besides me than her. She works hard, and she's good at this. proud mom. proud mom makes apple cake. :) | | Thursday, March 19th, 2009 | | 8:43 pm |

Apple Cake :)
Fresh Apple Cake from the Devil’s cookbook (Southern Cakes ISBN978-0-8118-5370-5) Fresh Apple Cake 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3 eggs 1 ½ cups vegetable oil 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 cups finely chopped apples (we used almost four) 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts (you can add cinnamon and nutmeg, we did) Brown Sugar Glaze 1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar 1/3 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons evaporated milk, half and half, or cream To make the cake, heat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 13-by-9 inch pan, or two 8 or 9 inch cake pans, round or square, or a bundt pan. In a medium bowl, combine the four, sugar, baking soda, and salt, and stir with a fork to mix everything together well. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a wooden spoon or a mixer at low speed until pale yellow and foamy. Add the oil and vanilla, and beat well. Stir in the four mixture with a wooden spoon and continue stirring the batter just until the flour disappears. Add the apples and nuts, stir to mix them into the batter until fairly uniform, and scrape the batter into the prepared pans. Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown, springs back when touched lightly near the center, and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan. Place the cake on a wire rack or a folded kitchen towel. Make the glaze while the cake is hot. Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon the glaze all over the hot from the oven cake. Let the glazed cake cool completely, and serve in squares right from the pan. (Okay, it’s humanly impossible not to try it while it is still warm. It’s good then. Just realize that it is even BETTER when it is cooled, especially the next day.) | | Monday, March 16th, 2009 | | 4:21 pm |

Life through Kittie's eyes
A politically incorrect comic is saying on the T.V. "Black people are like aligator's, your rub their heads and they fall asleep." Miss Kitty makes a psh sound and says, "Who doesn't? That feels good." Made me laugh. I wonder if hypnosis through head rubbing is part of her master plan for taking over the world. I think... I need a hat. |
