Horny and Lazy Win!

Well, polls and e-mails all tallied up it seems most of us will be going to hell because we are horny and lazy. Not so bad, not so bad at all!

Also, sorry about the post yesterday.  It seems when you copy and past a document from Microsoft Word, into AOL Journals you get the lovely little alphabet salad that manifested itself in my poem yesterday.  I even tried to fool the system by copying the poem out of word, pasting it into a AOL e-mail, mailed it to myself, then copy and pasted the e-mail into the journal.  Nope, still got alphabet salad anyway!

Have a great weekend.  See you on Monday!

YES!!!

 

.....and then I asked him with my eyes

and then he asked me would I yes.....

and first I put my arms around him yes

and drew him down to me

to ask again yes

so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes

and his heart was going like mad

and yes I said yes I will Yes.

Comfort VS Confront

The other day I was working with my daughter on her vocabulary words and she was having a difficult time understanding the difference between the word Confront and Comfort.  At first I thought it odd that someone would have a hard time understanding how different these two words are.
 
As I began to explain their meaning to her I realized that there are many people who have a hard time understanding the difference between these two words.
 
Think about your fear.  What are you doing about it?
 
Are you comforting it or confronting it?
 
Are you making excuses or solutions?

Hell?

 Over the weekend I was contemplating topics for the upcoming weeks and came across this web site.  I was doing some personal writing when I got to thinking about the seven deadly sins.  I did a quick web search to see what might pop up and "POOF" this web site appeared.  Seven Deadly Sins Quiz
 
I decided I had to share it with you.  I am fairly certain it's authors believe it to be purely for entertainment purposes only.  And, it is QUITE entertaining!
 
Why don't you give it a try, then come back here and chime in on why you will be joining me in hell.  Just click on your favorite sin in the poll below, and don't worry, your answers are completely anonymous!
 

I thought I would share my results with you so you will know if I will be a neighbor or not:
 
Your sin has been measured. You have committed many sins, but Lust is the mortal sin that has done you in. Just below, discover your full sinful breakdown and learn what it is about you that codemns you to hell.
Greed: Low
Gluttony: Medium
Wrath: Very Low
Sloth: Medium
Envy: Medium
Lust: Very High
Pride: Low

What is keeping you from moving forward.  From taking that first step?  From having that life you know you deserve?

This says it all!

Far Away Lover

Far Away Lover

by Cathy Rapicano

 

It avails you not, to think upon distance

nor the might of the realm of space -

for that is all it can ever be,

this great thing that now separates -

and you and I, we are so much more

while urging hearts to a faster pace.

I think upon you, and though feel as I do

the need to race and linger

at your side,

I give to this no never mind.

For you are contained within the ocean of my heart,

and will never go out with the tide.

This is me before

When you want to stay inspired, visualization is aided by reminders.  Put up pictures of the goals you are working towards.  You can also place inspiring quotes everywhere you will see them. If you have a special house in mind, put pictures of it everywhere.  If you want a specific job, find pictures or phrases that will remind you of what you are working towards.  Let me give you a personal example:
 
I was always slightly over weight, but after having kids I really let myself go.  I needed to loose about 50 pounds.  Now I know that doesn't sound like a lot, however I am only five feet tall.  I needed to drop, at the very least, four pants sizes.  I always struggled with my weight and was unsure if I could succeed.  I desperately wanted to have a better figure and be healthy.  I read and learned everything I could about how to loose weight and tone up.  I imagined the clothes I could wear and how good I would look and feel. Then I took it one step further.  I put pictures of models everywhere.  On my desk, in my medicine cabinet, on my refrigerator.  Anywhere and everywhere I could think of.  I wanted and needed to be constantly reminded of what it was I was working towards.  And, it happened!  Not only did I loose all of my wight, I got in better shape then I had ever been in in my life!  As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be able to fit into my wedding dress today as it would be too big!
 
This is me after:
