Easter egg


alt egg

Here are more pix of the results of our Easter Egg decoration party. It was Easter Simple this year. All the fun but no parade in fancy hats, or new white shoes, or enormous feast. Our friend/guest Matt, played along, and our fingers got soaked in food color. It rained all day.

Waxed paper worked. Wax crayons worked. Our paper-towels were also works of art, at the end of the session.

April Fool: I'm 54 and there is so much more


H E double toothpicks :

When I went to see my shrink I thought I wanted her to give me advice on how to save him. Although I was desperate for this advice, she told me to save myself. When I got married was it a match made in heaven or hell. Psych hell but perfectly complementary. He chose me and I choose him. Can't say no to a broken man; I liked him to be vulnerable. Looking for a battered woman? I have the baggage. I wear it with a certain amount of pride. Because I survived. Since I was 4. Always looking to save someone. So, I say again, save myself. I wish I knew how to get selfish.

Gods and Monsters:

I've always dreamed I'd rescue someone. Rescue a baby, adopt a kitten, nurse a baby rabbit to maturity. Rescue me. Stop trying to rescue others. Save yourself. Time to move on.

She 's a predator:

Rave is a dog's dog. She wants to kill my cat. She eats like a scavenger. She sleeps with complete trust and I'm happy to have her on the floor in her bed next to mine. Since someone forgets to lock the door more often than not, at night.

Beautiful mind:

Can turn ugly. In defense or is it offense? Offensive yes. But who do I offend? I'm sure I do sometimes. So what? Let it go.

Equalization theory:

Eventually you and your significant other person will continue to interact until you both feel the same about each other. Unbalanced relationships do not last. They move toward a stable state. Just like a chemical reaction. Equal love or equal hate. Steady state? Prove that.

Nothing New:

Live refurbished, recycle and re-use. Consumed too much...wasted so much time. Now there is some time left but less. Less each day. Today, it is time to get serious. Time to get back on a goal train. Travel. Learn.

Just say no:

Change your mantra! Just say non.
