The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins ~Bob Moawad

Intruder Alert
Intrusions have a way of being intrusive. Regardless of whether I'm just vegetating or planning or dreaming or actually doing some activity, I don't like intrusions in any of those activities.
Unsolicited thoughts are intrusions. Bees wanting to dance. Computer decides to sleep. iPhone decides to stick. Forgetting to replace Hellman's - tuna fish doesn't taste good without Hellman's. Someone wanting me to do something I don't want to do. Guilt feelings from not doing what someone wants me to do. Saying screw it to the aforementioned guilt feelings. Waiting around for people to make their plans so I can make mine.... I reeeeeeeally hate that intrusion.
ALL of those intrusions are time consuming. Takes away from my feeling worthless time.
I am really getting concerned about my 'oldness' ... The King Blues Festival is this weekend a couple of hours away in Helena on the Mississippi River... ol Mark Twain had been by there. Funky little place. At one time, the mayor released all the dogs in the shelter because the funding for same wasn't being funded. Tax wasn't passed or something like that... Hahaaaa... BIG todoing about this .. probably made national news - forget. This was a few years back.
BUT... the decision not to go was based on my 'knowing' what was going to happen. Hot and crowded with smokers and lots of booze. Now... in my youth? my kinda place. But now? makes me tired. But the lineup is just stellar... love love LOVE that ol kinda blues ...Buddy Guy ... Delbert McClinton ... Keb' Mo' ...
Here's their website ... http://www.bluesandheritagefest.com/
AND a Buddy Guy YouTube... get down...
Damn Right I Got The Blues....

Hi Carolyn, I just thought that I would stop by to say hi on your blog but I don't know if that counts for an intrusion, ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI must be getting old too because I can't take the loud noises and the big crowd anymore either.
I'm turning blue just from the cold here in our area. We had frost yesterday morning. It supposed to go up to 27 Celcius or almost 81. Quite a jump on temperature.
I hope that you have a jazzy weekend. JB
g'morning, Julia... and no... intrusions upon my blog are most welcome ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is just absolutely stellar weather here... nary a cloud.. trees are still GREEN and the humidity is down! with the temperatures in the mid 80s...
All subject to change but our cold weather doesn't start until late November or December...
I love your pumpkin family! one seed? I just logged on this morning and was about to read a few blogs with me coffee... and there are your pumpkins... ;) and beautiful quilt...
Your iPhoto libary? I just got my MacBook Pro this summer and am still navigating about ... I don't understand all I know about the picture manipulation yet...
We now have a dedicated Apple store here in Little Rock and I plan on having a chat with these folk...
RIP Steve Jobs...
I love seeing photos of cats and dogs together. That little kitty is so cute.
ReplyDeleteHiya Gypsy ;) me too... I love having cats and dogs together. It's been a long time.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a conflict ... travel... get another kitten and puppy... as long as I still have the gypsy blood stirring... I want to wait.
But that is one of my going to do things... get a kitten and puppy and raise them together... hilarious
