You were a spaz and SO annoying. You’d eat Alice’s panties and barf them up whole. You barked like a maniac at any squirrel who dared put it’s tail on your lawn or any mailman who was too rude to greet you. You humped Rachel at any chance you got and ruined Andrea’s fifteenth birthday by breaking your leg. You were a great cuddler, lover and took treats so nicely. You’ll be missed sweet Telemachus. The windows won’t shine as bright now that your pouty lips and face no longer adorn them.

1. I’ve come to realize that my chest-size. . . Isn’t the gift I thought it would be when I was young and they were admired more. If I would have known that they would cause back aches, ill fitting shirts, and be the cause of knocking things off shelves and people off of chairs, I would have tried to do something earlier to make them go away.
2. I’ve come to realize that my job. . . is non existant. And the “jobs” I do have that don’t pay SHOULD pay.

4. I’ve come to realize that I need. . . to be content with me. That doesn’t mean that I have to be comfortable in the bad and not make changes, but that I shouldn’t hate myself so much and so often.

8. I’ve come to realize that money… though nice is NOT important.
9. I’ve come to realize that certain people. . . will never learn.
10. I’ve come to realize that I’ll always. . . be fat. No matter how hard I have tried, I have been unable to lose enough weight.
11. I’ve come to realize that my sibling(s). . . hasn’t changed much from when we were kids.
12. I’ve come to realize that my mom… is my best friend, my biggest supporter, a great critic and an amazing woman.
13. I’ve come to realize that my cell phone. . . is an electronic leash and I need to learn how to let it go to voicemail more often.
14. I’ve come to realize that when I woke up this morning. . . that I have too much time on my hands, yet I don’t seem to have the time to do what I need to do.
15. I’ve come to realize that last night before I went to sleep. . . that I depend too much on sleeping pills.
16. I’ve come to realize that right now I am thinking. . . about how the hell I can make a dependable liquid dish soap.

This is Ratsputan. I miss him. He passed away a few years ago. He was the sweetest animal, ever and I used to let him ride on my shoulders. I talked to him a lot. I want another rat! We’ll see. Ted probably won’t let me have another.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Holi
God Krishna playing Holi with Radha and other Gopis
Also called Festival of colours
Observed by Indians (mainly Hindus, Sikhs,Muslims, Buddhists and Jains), almost all Nepalese (mainly Hindus and a fair amount of Buddhists)
Begins Phalgun Purnima or Pooranmashi (Full Moon)
Date March
2009 date March 11
Celebrations 3 – 16 days
Holi, also called the Festival of Colors, is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and countries with large Hindu diaspora populations, such as Suriname, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, the UK, Mauritius, and Fiji. In West Bengal of India and Bangladesh it is known as Dolyatra (Doul Jatra) or Basanta-Utsab (”spring festival”). The most celebrated Holi is that of the Braj region, placed connected to Krishna – Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon and Barsana, places which have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi, which lasts here to up to sixteen days [1].
The main day, Holi, also known as Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi, is celebrated by people throwing colored powder and colored water at each other. Bonfires are lit the day before, also known as Holika Dahan (death of Holika) or Chhoti Holi (little Holi). The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad had when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of god Vishnu, escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion. Holika Dahan is referred to as Kama Dahanam in Andhra Pradesh.
Holi is celebrated at the end of the winter season on the last full moon day of the lunar month Phalguna (February/March), (Phalgun Purnima), which usually falls in the later part of February or March. In 2009, Holi (Dhulandi) was on March 11 and Holika Dahan was on March 10.
I discovered Holi yesterday and have decided that I love the idea of it. I love faiths of all kinds and have tried to incorporate different traditions from different cultures in my life. So, when I discovered Holi, not only was I in love with the story and the celebration, but I loved how beautiful it looks hnd how well it would look in photos. My friends and I have decided to have a Holi type celebration. Sadly, it will be far too cold to do it during the traditional time, so we’re going to either do it in Septermber (the exact opposite day from the actual Holi day) or next year in late May early July. It depends on the fundage. The only requirement is to wear a plain white shirt. I think the colors will look even better when they’re on material. I am going to do my best to acquire a sari (finally) since I have been trying to do so for YEARS!
The following pictures I got from Photobucket. I did not take any of them myself.

14 Jun
- Constant fighting w/ my MIL (This is FAR before we liked eachother) Because of a fight w/ her, Ted ended up having to knock his dad out from coming after me with a closed fist because he didn’t like me talking back to his wife.
- MIL and GMIL made sure to tell the priest that I was Pagan so that the wedding wouldn’t be a Sacrament for Ted.
- Because my in-laws were paying for a part of the wedding, my MIL refused to let me choose a LOT of my own wedding.
Bridesmaids dresses were hideous. Maroon and shapeless
Maroon dresses, red roses
Sterling Lavender Roses in bouquet, Red roses for bridesmaids
- A week before invites were to go out, the apartment flooded and they were ruined.
- Because of all of the fighting with my MIL and her constant threats to “pull funding”, Ted and I cancelled the cake, the reception hall / catering and the videographer (everything she was paying for) and uninvited 150 guests two weeks before the wedding.
- Wedding coordinator sold MY dress and replaced it with a dress that someone hand made that was 18 inches too short before I put on shoes. She did this between my last fitting and the wedding. I found out 4 days before the wedding and couldn’t afford to buy a new one. She tried to convince me that this WAS my dress.
- Two words. Ruffles and Bows.
- Wedding coordinator lost my shoes, crinoline and nylons on the morning of my wedding. I had to wear white slippers, white tights and a hoopskirt that made my dress a good 2.5 feet too short. Fat girls should NEVER wear hoopskirts!
- In trying to convince me that my antique gold necklace that my grandmother gave me that she and my great-grandmother wore on their wedding day didn’t go with my dress, she lost it. I am devestated to this day that I don’t have it.
- Three words. WORST . HAIRDO. EVER. Done by the coordinator who was also my MIL’s hairstylist. It took 2 hours and three bottles of conditioner to get all of the ratting out of my hair.
- Coordinator made me dress at her house and ride in the front seat of a tiny car in a hoopskirt that was over my head from New Baltimore to Royal Oak.
- Went to pick up one of my best friends for the wedding and he was still asleep and didn’t hear us pounding on the door so he missed the wedding.
- Because of the last 2, I was 20 minutes late for my own wedding ceremony and Ted thought I stood him up at the altar.
- My granny and gramps were too sick to travel that far for the wedding. We decided to have our honeymoon there so we could show them the video and make them a part of the wedding anyway.
- MIL wore black to the wedding and wouldn’t stand for the Blessing.
- Back of the church roof caved in during the ceremony. Too many Pagans in a Catholic Church I guess.
- My aunt, who was taking over for the videographer we cancelled, only taped five minutes of the ceremony. She stopped right before my daddy gave me away. At the end she filmed her daughter and grand-daughter for 6 minutes.
- The church didn’t tape the wedding like it was supposed to. I got screwed on seeing my wedding or taking it to my grandparents for them to see.
- My “wedding dress” fell apart at the reception. The sewing was so shoddy that the train, once bustled, was too heavy for the stiching at the waist and the seams broke.Thank God I had other clothes with me.
- My dress got mud on it from the rain and snow.
- Ted got sick at the recetion and we had to leave early from our own reception.
- No sex on my wedding night.
- People kept showing up at our house that night.

I will give them cool, original earthy names. Hopefully they will not get teased.
I will encourage them to get dirty.
I will encourage imagination and creativity.
I will let them choose how they want to decorate their room.
I will let them choose their own clothes, no matter how young and no matter what color or pattern combination they choose.
I will teach them that books are their friends.
I will teach them the importance of honesty, but also, the gracefulness of tact. Too many parents forget that part.
I will show them and well as tell them that I love them. The words are not as important as the deeds.
I will expose them to culture at every given chance.
I will teach my children traditions of our heritage. If adopted, I will teach them ours and also learn theirs.
I will read to them nightly from BIG books, not just baby books. I will continue doing so long after they have learned to read for themselves.
I will ask them to read to me as well.
I will listen and hear and not be so quick to respond.
I will try not to protect them from ALL bad experiences. After all, how else will a person grow to be strong unless they deal with some hardships?
I will make NO subject taboo.
I will talk to them freely and without prejudice.
I will talk to them about ANYTHING, no matter how painful.
I will act silly with them.
I will play with them all the time. I wish my mom had played house with Christy and me.
I will teach them that beauty comes is all shapes, sizes colors and nationalities and that ugly is not a description for someone’s physical person.
I will encourage active participation in hobbies.
I will encourage them to try things that they’ve never tried before.
I will Encourage them to be artistic.
I will never, ever, fight in front of them.
I will rarely feed them anything canned, packaged and NEVER from a drive-thru.
I will talk to them and try my hardest never to yell.
I will NOT allow them to sleep with me on a regular basis. Nap time occasionally or for the once in a while nightmare (not every nightmare though) is okay.
I will cuddle them every day.
I will NOT spoil them.
I will teach them the value of a dollar, but not make them “earn” an allowance doing chores that they should do with being paid to do so.
I will take pictures of them constantly.
I will make sure that there are always pets in the house. It teaches responsibility and about death at the worst moments.
I will not allow Barbies, Brats or any other toy that I deem demeaning to any person or ideal.
I will do crafts with them.
I will home school, but make sure that they are a part of many outside activities to maintain their social health.
I will cook with them.
I will teach them the importance of good nutrition and healthy cooking.
I will travel with them no matter how short the trip is.
I will not allow my children to have their own cell phone, pager, computer, or laptop until they are 17 or going to college. Whichever comes first. Then, when they do, they will have to pay the bills themselves.
I will built forts, pitch tents and if possible, build a tree house with them.
I will buy toys that run on imagination instead of electricity.
I will not allow my children to be raised by the television. TV will be for special occasions only.
I will make my children spend as much time outdoors as possible. I will be with them as much as possible.
I will not choose my children’s religion. I will teach them Ted’s beliefs and my beliefs, but I will not baptize or choose that religion for them.

It’s the perfect size (in total)
It’s close enough to the city to have all of the cool city amenities, yet far enough away (3.5 blocks out of down town) to be quieter and calmer.
You can get to almost anything on foot and if you can’t, then there is a bus line right here that will take you anywhere else.
You can see the fireworks from my yard.
We can have pets.
The city is an art center.
We have an awesome balcony garden.
We have a huge bathroom.
We have a decent sized kitchen.
We have tons of cabinet space.
We have a big yard.
Our landlord is easy to talk to and very understanding.
We don’t have to pay utilities.
We have excellent neighbors. (mostly)
The neighborhood is nice.
Hate
No screens in 4 of the 7 windows.
The porch gets REALLY hot because it’s over a tar roof.
The yard isn’t fenced in, so the dogs need to be on their “chain” or we have to be with them to keep close eye on them.
No washer and dryer. We have to go to a laundry mat and that not only costs a lot of money, but also abuses the earth.
The bedroom is really small.
It also has a strange “box” sticking out from the wall that supports a heater vent. This “box” makes it very difficult to place furniture in the way we want.
The heating vents act as intercom speakers so we can hear:
Our neighbors having sex (And I am POSITIVE they can hear us)
Their horrid collection of Hanson, Back Street Boys, ‘N Sync, etc. CDs
Their arguments that consist of screaming, crying (usually him) and the throwing of what I have to assume are very large objects… or eachother.
His renditions of “The Sign” and other Ace of Base songs.
When he wacks it to Asian Lesbian Porn. How do I know this? Because apparently he can’t hear the TV over his own moaning, so he turns the TV up and I can hear both CRYSTAL CLEAR.
The video games played by the front neighbor.
The vents also serve as a great way to smell your neighbors, bringing into our home the lovely bouquets of:
Burnt toast and popcorn, several times a month.
David’s cologne that gags me nearly every morning. Why he puts it on so heavy is beyond me, plus, Stephanie is supposed to be VERY sensitive to strong smells.
The previous neighbor’s attempt at “indian food” that smelled of old, burning, stinky cheese and fish.
The even more previous neighbor’s garbage that she forgot to take out before her 30 day stint in rehab. Rotten meat isn’t too pleasant even after a week. Try 30 days.
The smoke alarms aren’t actually smoke alarms, they are heat detectors and are all placed within three to five feet of the oven, thus going off every time I cook.
Speaking of heat; We live in an old house that has been split into 3 units and the heat is controlled by the back neighbor. They don’t like to adjust the heat so that all three units are happy. Thus our apartment is either stiefeling or freezing.
Not enough windows and the ones I have are too small.
The outside wooden staircase that climbe to the 2nd floor is falling apart. One of my friends broke a step on his way down.
Not enough ooutside lighting. I mean we ARE close enough to the city for us to need adequite outside lighting.
The house across the street has band practice in the basement from 7pm until 2am on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It’s loud enough to make the glass in our windows shake.

- Recycle – Use cloth, reusable shopping bags
I have been doing this for almost a year now
- Take quicker showers – If it’s yellow, let it mellow
We can only stand to do this at night. But it’s a start.
- Grow a garden
And we love it. Having vegetables and herbs at our front door is awesome.
- Get produce from local growers
We shop at the local Farmer’s Market.
- Turn off the water when brushing teeth
I have always done this.
- Use the same towel 3 or 4 times after showers to save on laundry
Done, done, done and done.
- Make and use eco, human and pet friendly laundry soap and household cleaners
I just started this and I am shocked that the products work so well. I was a little put off that the laundry detergent doesn’t sud, but then I found out that the chemicals that cause the sudsing are pretty bad for you.
- Compost
Starting this this week.
- Buy things that are either not packaged or minimally packaged
Trying, but still having trouble.

I hate to admit it to the world, though thouse people who really know me already know, I am a terrible house keeper. My place is a mess. I hate to clean. I hate the smell of the cleaners and I hate that I break out or get chemical burns every time I clean with cleaners. (Sue me, I’m sensitive) And to a point, I am lazy. One of my biggest obstacles is a dirty microwave. I hate scrubbing and the fact that it takes FOREVER to get the damn thing clean. Well, today, my first day of being a better housekeeper and cleaning green, I have discovered a miracle. A green microwave cleaner that works perfectly with NO scrubbing. Here’s the recipe:
1.5 cups vinegar
15 drops tea tree essential oil
put it in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 2 minutes.
Wipe clean
That’s it! Really!
*do you hear the angels singing?
27 May
It’s too early to be up, yet here I sit, up before the birds. I have not decided if I feel sick or just out of sorts. I am not sure if the feeling I have in the pit of my tummy is nausea or anxiety or an acidy stomach. All I know is that I am awake when I don’t want to be. This is the first day in the last six days that I have been able to sleep in. I have been helping my friend’s mom clean, pack, clean, move, clean, unpack, clean for the past week, every day, pretty much all day. Tomorrow (well, later today, rather) I have a photo shoot with The Cotton Lillies! It is raining right now, It’s an outdoor shoot. Maybe their cheerful, well coordinated colorful outfits will pop better against a gloomy sky… We’ll see. Thursday is my only day “off” because I have to clean my friend’s mom’s place again. I am now her maid. That’s right folks. Times have officially become SO tough for me that I have resorted to cleaning house for about $8 an hour to help the household. It’s only lie $40 a week, but that pays for my smoking and some groceries.
Ted got a call from his old boss, the guy who layed him off at the end of Novemeber and there is a good chance that he will be going back in two or three weeks. I am so ready to have my space back, Aimée time has been severly neglected as of the past 6 months and though I will miss Ted SOOO much and probably go through some serious anxiety with him being gone after being connected at the hip for half a year, I need my space. My letters have seriously suffered because I can’t write with him around. I love to cuddles him and talk. I think we are the only couple in history to be able to be with one another 24/7 and not get sick of one another.
The squirrels that I have loved and fed for over two years have become the bane of my existance. They are eating and/or destroying everything in my garden. It has now come down to my resorting to red pepper seeds in the sol and red pepper spray on the roof and leavs. I hope they don’t go blind. I know I damn near did making the shit. I hope it works. I will be totally pissed if the stuff hurts my plants. I refuse to resort to pesticides. I will just stop growing a garden if it comes that far.
Tired…. I’m just SO tired.
25 Feb
So, On the 20th, Jen, Steve and I went to Hell.
That’s right friends, we went to Hell. (Check out the rest of the pictures on my Myspace.)The original intentions for the trip were to go to the Carnegie Library in Howell to do some research on a haunted property that GCOM is investigating. The archives of the library were amazing. Overwhelming at first, but I got help from this man, Milton Charbanaugh who is 90+ years old and the official Livingston county historian. He made things so much easier to understand. I got so much information. I think I may have been spoiled on this first investigation, because no other place I have been to has that much by way of files and history of the area. Unfortunately, that investigation didn’t happen as the occupants just couldn’t stand being there any longer and they moved. Speaking of GCOM, I am now an official member of the Ghost Chasers of Michigan as their researcher. I am soooo Excited! (See me here. I’m at the bottom. I look awful, but I don’t care. I am in GCOM!) I feel so welcomed into the group and everyone is so nice. I can’t wait to get together with them again. We have monthly meetings and they gather at a bar a few times a month, but with Ted being laid off… still… I just can’t afford to go to the bar. I can barely afford to keep the internet and let me tell you, the internet IS a neccesity to me.
I have Ted’s horrid chest cold. I am SO sick right now. I thought I would be getting better, but nooo… I woke up this morning because my lip had split in the middle of the night and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I am up before the puppy even. Ohhh, the puppy. I love Max. He is the sweetest little thing ever. He loves to cuddle and play. He and Moe seem to be the best of friends,
however he WILL NOT go potty in the litter box. He is too small to go potty outside, so we to have him litter train. It’s not working. I have no ideas left. We have tried so many things. But he is only 10 and a half weeks old. Moe potty trained so easily. Why is it so much harder with Max? Ugh!
I just finished reading “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer. I didn’t think I would like it, but I was suprised. VERY, VERY surprised. I loved it and I can’t wait to read the next book. I love my YA books, but they never seem to grab me like this one did. I suggest you read them.
Well, I guess this is it for now. Take care!

19 Feb
I have been one busy chick-e… I have been doing a lot of research as of late, both for my family genealogy and for a ghost hunting group called Ghost Chasers of Michigan (GCOM). I am so excited to be part of this group and I feel completely comfortable with them. They’re a very down to earth bunch of people who are not in the business to make a buck, but to prove or disprove someones supernatural dillemas. I am so happy to be helping a great group such as this. Tomorrow, I am off on a roadtrip to do some research on the next house they will be investigating. We also go a new puppy and that has been a handful in and of itself. He is feisty and does NOT want to potty train. He is a handful, but I like him… so far. Ted and I have also been helping my landlord on the two (now unoccupied) apartments in this building. We are cleaning and painting and doing repairs and showing the apartments if my landlord is unable to do so. He will be knocking off some rent for this, and now that Ted’s unemployed (damn economy) we need all of the help that we can get.
Well, that’s the update right now.

I am somewhat amazed at this miracle for bloggers. Alphainventions.com. I did not seek it out, it sort of just found me. I was looking at my blog stats and they had skyrocketed. In my list of referrers was alphainventions. So I looked it up and low and behold, it’s a site that just shows blog after blog… It gives people a chance to show off their blog while checking out and commenting on others blogs. It’s pretty amazing! I love alphainventions.

1. What do you believe happens when we die? I think we may be reincarnated, I believe that we can still communicate with our loved ones until that point.
2. Do you consider yourself religious? I consider myself spiritual. I know, I know, It sounds like the typical cop out answer. But I am serious.
3. Do you believe in ghosts? Very much so. I have had some strange experiances that I can not understand.
4. Do you believe that people live on other planets? Quite possibly. I mean, this isn’t the only solar system. There are more galaxys out there, we can’t be the ONLY life sustaining planet, can we?
5. Have you ever seen something abnormal? Many times, but are we talking just abnormal or unexplainable?
6. Do you believe in reincarnation? See above.
7. Have you ever witnessed a miracle? I have witnessed birth many times, but I think that’s the only miracle I have witnessed.
8. Is there a person living or dead that influences your philosophies? The Dalai Lama.
9. Is there a work of fiction that closely matches your spiritual beliefs? Not that I know of.

I found this little list of “Have You”’s and you know me, I have to answer it… So, instead of writing my so so so late letters to my amazing pan pals, I will do this, then on to writing…
