Mary Says... Ten Day Meme - Day Two: Loves

Nine Loves


1.  Luis Luis will always be the best part of me, my best friend, my lover.
 
2.  Friends/family What would we be without friends and family?

3.  Music Life would not be the same without it. And I have incredibly eclectic taste in music; I just finished listening to Rammstein's song Spring and now I am listening to Randy Newman's Pleasantville Suite, so go figure. And of course, the countdown to Coldplay's new CD Mylo Xyloto, out on Monday,  24 October - five days and counting!
 
4.  Art I'm finally back to drawing and it is as though I never stopped. Pretty cool.
 
5.  Books Ah, the printed word, more magic than anything else (except music). I've finished rereading The Clan of the Cave Bear and am on the second book, The Valley of the Horses. Soon I will reread the third book, The Mammoth Hunters and then I think there are two more to read after that... Let me see... The Plains of Passage, The Shelters of Stone and hey! A new book, The Land of Painted Caves. Apparently this is the final book in the series. I am also reading Inside Scientology right now. It is well written and confirms what I thought: L. Ron Hubbard was nuts and invented a "religion" to get rich. And people FELL for it! How staggering is that?!

6.  Thai Food What would life be without the richness of Pineapple Fried Rice, Bha-Mee-Kee-Mow and Pramramrongsong? Yum!

7.  Seasons It is a well-established fact that Autumn is by far my favourite season. But even though the seasonal changes kill me, I need to be in a place that has four separate and distinct changes - it is the richness of life. And the cycle of life, too. Someday we will retire to Palm Springs, California. And that sounds like I am giving up the seasons, but Mount San Jacinta is there to give me those seasons any time I want. I loved it there. And in mid-summer it was early spring or late fall up among the lovely pine trees and pine cones the size of my head!

8.  Ambulances/EMS There is nothing as amazing and fun as driving the ambulance and helping people at the worst moments of their lives. And although I am benched at the moment, I can still serve on the E-board, run the Nominations committee, and work tirelessly on the New Rig Committee.

9.  Working/Human Resources I miss the most. I know, it was six months to the day yesterday, but I still mourn for the life I left behind. I know I had to do it. But it still sucks. And I was always meant to be in Human Resources, so I miss my vocation and avocation as much as my just working in general.

The Ten Day 'You' Challenge:
Jeff and Aaron are still participating. Aislinge just joined in. Maybe you will be next? Yes, you should do it! It's alot of fun.

Awesome love list! We have a few in common.

I would like to see some of your artwork if you'de care to share.

I don't think ambulances are for me. Whenever I see them racing down the road I feel a little sad. And if the paramedics are following, I feel worse. I'm certainly glad there are trained staff aboard, but for us non-medical people they are a bit scary.

I'm sorry you had to leave the job you loved so much.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
