Now that I’ve gotten what I wanted, you won’t be hearing me talk politics again. Well, I don’t mean ever but for awhile, you won’t. I was starting to get on my own nerves for a minute, so I know it was tough on you too, coming over here and listening to me pick on politicians and whatnot. But since I pick on my own self just as much, if not more, don’t be mad at me. Though, it’s time to move on, folks. To what, I have no idea. I’m lost and wandering about rather naked now.
I can tell you that I’ve been on the real busy side. That could be a good thing if I wanted to be that busy but hell, it ain’t the kinda busy I wanna be. I mean, I’m trying to fit creativity back into my life, which has gone from sugar to shit. I haven’t painted almost all year. When I go that long without painting, I always have the fear that I won’t know how anymore. Losing that would be akin to losing a limb. And then the more that fear builds, the more intimidated I become to even try. It’s like, what if I can’t? I’ve written a lot but not enough. I probably should’ve dated and married up with that fella from a few years back since he liked me real hard. Then, I’d been able to sit on my ass and write the way I want but I didn’t like him like that. He didn’t wanna be my friend, so eventually he changed his number and email, like I was harrassing him or something. The nerve!
I wasn’t trippin’ though. See, I’m a Leo and I don’t like Leo men. They’re arrogant and bossy. At least the ones I know. If you’re a Leo woman and hooked up with a Leo man, I don’t know how you do it. I’m not typically into that whole horoscope thing but I can’t help recognizing that Leo men eventually get on my nerves. Scorpios too. They run about neck and neck on the nerve radar. I have high and low tolerances, like anybody. I believe I’m rather in tune with myself, so I don’t get on folk nerves. Seriously. It’s them, not me. I won’t even claim that kinda responsibility.
Anyhow. I’m about to get my blog ready for Christmas. You know, maybe tell Christmas stories, play music and bake cookies or something. Not that I’m the baking kinda woman but I can whip up a box cake like nobody’s business when I put my mind to it.
I'm an artist who's writing,mothering, blogging and doing a few other things under the sun. I buy toilet paper 99.9% of every trip I make to the grocery store. I'm a people watcher, so I know you're here but drop me a line anyway.
I have a Leo man, and I am guessing that makes my sign “Lion Tamer”. *grins*
So, what’s your sign, Red? I need to be what you are.
Aquarius. You would think Cats did not like to get wet, but they are very good swimmers
Oh, Totsy, I know just how you feel. Now that it’s over, I don’t even want to open my mouth or keyboard. Let yourself paint or write. You don’t do a masterpiece every time even when you’re in practice.
Yep, I’m laying low and dreaming the craziest stuff. Not about Romney though. Although his campaign manager has reported that he’s sheel-shocked at losing the election. A real hard blow…Goodness, there I go…
I’m trying to get to painting. Writing…well, I’m cranking something out every now and then.
Those cookies look awfully good, but then I’m good at cooking to avoid actually writing.
Sometimes just doing it is the best thing you can do. Best wishes.
They are good. Anything that’s chocolate is.
Maybe you should write a cookbook.
I don’t place a great deal in horoscopes, but my mother did that is until she met me as an adult. I am a Virgo but not much like my own sign. Those cookies look fab, makes me want to rush to the kitchen!
I find it interesting when I think about it but I don’t put a lotta stake in it.
Have some cookies.
It’s so hard to dive back into creative efforts after a long dry spell. If you figure out how to do it, I’d love to know. Meanwhile, I’ll just keep trying to dip my toes in the water.
This is more than a dry spell. More like an unplanned leave of absence. I’m dipping too, at least with writing.
I can’t wait to see what comes out. My favorite line “They run about neck and neck on the nerve radar.”
I’m ready for it to come out. I’m going to try picking up the brush this week and have at it.
Yep, I gather all of us have had our nerves grinded on at some point.
I know what ya mean about creativity goin’ south on ya. But not to worry, it’ll all come back. Kinda like having learned how to ride a bicycle, or that adult activity that usually involves couples.
Oh me, oh my, Hansi. I couldn’t have expected any other comment from you.
I’ve been sluggish about writing because everybody else was saying everything. I just couldn’t get into writing about politics in any way shape or form. It’s not that I don’t have my views, but they are private and I don’t expect people to agree with me. Then if they disagree with me, it might make me mad. So I just leave that alone. I’m thinking about writing a post about me and one of my ex-husbands though. I think of that as ancient history and not personal at all. Know what I mean? I’m glad I don’t have a mismatch on husbands horoscope things though because I agree that could be the worst. Great post, but you need to paint Girl. Just go do it!
Sometimes, I feel like I’m running outta things to talk about on the blog. I should perhaps take an extended break and reassess. Write about the ex and entertain us all the way you do. In the meantime, I shall make an effort to paint one picture this month. It’s a start.
Good for you for saying no to Mr. Leo. Sometimes the price tag for certain things is too high, ya know? I have been lonelier in relationships that were not going well than I have ever been on my own (and sometimes more broke, too!).
Ain’t nothing as annoying as getting to the good part of a book and your man wants your attention RIGHT NOW over something stupid, like watching some crazy football catch on TV.
It’s funny. 1+1 shouldn’t equal broke. Math’s never been my subject but I can figure that doesn’t sound right. Next time, sit that man down and read to him. He might learn a thing or three.
I’m a Libra so I’m very indecisive … I try to balance things out, but everything always tilt towards the crazy side. Looking forward to your Christmas posts.
Don’t believe you’re indecisive. You may just need to deliberate longer than other folk. But who am I to tell you? I’m not all that equipped in the decision dept. myself.
I am especially indecisive when I’m sooo hungry — that I could eat an elephant — and I’m looking for a place to eat … I just can’t decide ’cause I want something really good.
I’m a Libra, too. I can relate to the indecisiveness. But I call it ‘weighing all the angles.’ it’s a gift, you know, being able to see all the angles, not a lot of people have that. So we deliberate. Sometimes, we dither.
LOL I say that to myself too … I’m just a big “ruminator” …
Totsy, you did a fantastic job on the political blogs. That’s the only thing I will miss about the election!
Hey girlfriend, I’m a Leo too!
Glad you enjoyed the politics we play here. However, we’ll move on to something else once I figure it out. It’s late here now and I don’t think well at this time of time.
Welcome to the Lions Club.
Yeah, Leo men and women never seem to make it — think Madonna and Sean Penn.
I agree with you and can speak from experience: Leo men are arrogant and bossy. The women are too. My neighbor’s 7 y-o kid is a Leo and even at this age, she’s bossy and competitive
Whaaat? The women are too? … Some of them. Yes. Absolutely. And some think they know EVERY. THING. Me? I can be competitive but I’m not bossy, I wouldn’t say. I say, live and let live. It should be that easy.
Yup, some of them are bossy. That’s a good attitude, Live and let live.
Um, exuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Tots.
You. Will. Never. Run. Out. Of. Things. To. Say.
R U serious?
Xxx
I have to say, I’ve been a tad stumped at blogging material. Been quite preoccupied, so I don’t have the blog thinking cap on. Give me a day or two more, I shall come up with something.
I’m an Aquarian and just gotta save the world.. I can’t help it !
What are you saving us from, Cherry?
I’m saving the world from us Totsymae…. it’s such a beautiful planet and humans don’t look after it very well
Seriously ( although that was serious!) Apparently Aquarians are supposed to be activists always involved in one cause or another and that has been me my whole life…
Leo’s are bossy, they have to be, they are defined as ‘Leaders of Men’ and that goes for Leo Women and men. Personally I am a Sagittarius, extrovert, loud, impulsive, generous, loving, brutally honest (unfortunately) I think you either love em or hate em. I love Pisces, and Aquarians and Librians. My dad was a Leo we had an unusual relationship but he was divorced from my mum when I was eight! I get on great with Sagittariun women but not men.
All of my traits mentioned above have had an effect on my life without doubt some good some bad.
Whereas I would not read my Horoscope to decide what I should do of to help me make decisions etc. I do believe that there is something in the specific traits of the signs. And, what about the parts of the body that are supposedly to be effected by certain signs. I know that Sagittarius is supposed to have dodgy stomachs, and Piceans are supposed to have trouble with their feet. I can certainly confirm the Sagittariun thing and the Piscean thing as my wife (an ex dancer & MS sufferer) is born under Pisces and has trouble with her feet!
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Aheeemm, Mark. You stepped on my toe. For Leo women, I get on with them up to a certain point.
I never knew about the physical part of each sign. Did you know Geminis were considered liars. Same goes for anybody with a gap in their teeth, by the way.
I heard that people with a gap are ‘Lucky’. But never trust anyone whose teeth slope back!
Sorry about the toe…hope its stopped hurting now!
