Cuteness Alert

Phoebe did the cutest thing last night when she was stalling to fall asleep in bed. I was downstairs and she called me to come back up. She sounded like she was trapped under something, so I came quickly... turns out she was just calling from under her blankets. First she asked me to kiss the palm of her left hand. Then she asked me to kiss the palm of her right hand. Then she took each palm and put them on the cheeks of her face, like she was pressing the kisses into her cheeks. Too cute!!!!

Well, my hair is officially red now. I got a different haircut too with some long sweepy bangs on both sides. Poor Tom, he's trying to get used to it. Phoebe of course loves it, because like me, being a girl is all about makeovers!!!!

I've really been loving reading fan fiction these days. My latest is under the Gone with the Wind section, but it's a changing/continuation of Scarlett, the sequel to GWTW that was done in the last decade or so. I read it twice and absolutely loved it. Both times I got it from the library. I really need to get my own copy, so I can read whenever I want. But I'm really enjoying this piece of fan fiction a lot too. Unfortunately the Bridget Jones' fan fiction section is not being updated. No new stories, no updates to existing. I've been toying with writing my first piece of fan fiction. I'd like to take the new Independant column she did of Bridget being pregnant, but change the results of the DNA test from Daniel Cleaver to Mark Darcy. No one wants Daniel to be the father anyway! BTW, I've never quite figured out how she found out from DNA testing before the baby was born? I know she talks about getting DNA from both Mark and Daniel, but how did she get the baby's DNA before birth - amniocentesis???? Ah, the mysteries of fiction! I shouldn't question, just write the way we all wanted that story to continue. I'm still thinking about it.

BTW, I haven't had any comments from anyone lately, not even my mother! What's up with that? I'm starting to feel like Bridget's answering machine.

OK, if I want anyone to comment, answer me this... are you a Beatles or a Rolling Stones fan. Most people fall into at least one of those. If you are a Beatles fan, do you prefer their earlier albums or the more psychadelic later phase? BTW, I'm a Beatles later phase fan. I love the earlier stuff too, but if I'm pressed my favorites albums are Sargent Peppers and Let it Be.

Funny, I never really liked either band. I never listened to either band unless it was forced upon me. Both bands have talent, but never really caught my attention. Within the past year I have purchased a beatles song book with their latter compositions, i.e Let It Be, A Day in the Life, Come Together, etc. This was a business purchase, not pleasure. But I have to say those songs are appealing.
I never really got the stones. Some of their tunes sound incomplete and rough. Almost 60-70's style garage band. Then again I never got Elvis either. Maybe its me?
I have to say I prefer the stylings of a King Crimson, Yes type band or even Liberace!

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
