Happy Thursday..

Clay is in Paris now, he will be on a plane to Congo any time now..
Skie is sleeping over at Cheyenne's tonight so I have the house to myself..
I think I will probably work on Elaine's blanket (what else is new) and try to finish a Netflix DVD.. A couple friends of min suggested the 'Harold & Kumar' movies.. I watched the first one yesterday.. It was ok, but not as hilarious as they (Mug & Davey) made it out to be.. I started the second one and it hasn't been holding my attention.. I am thinking about watching 'The Secret' again.. I watch it every couple of months or so.. Hey, it couldn't hurt right?
I went to the store to buy a new baking pan today.. I wanted to make a double batch of enchiladas and freeze half for later.. I got home and realized that we don't have any tortillas.. Dammit.. We usually always have tortillas.. However, Clay was home.. Clay can eat tortillas like there is no tomorrow.. that guy can wrap anything in a tortilla.. So, I either need to make them or go out and get more.. I don't feel like leaving the house again, so it looks like I'm making tortillas today too..
Dang it..

Wednesday..

Clay left for the airport a few minutes ago.. He took a cab instead of me dropping him off.. He does occasionally when I'm not up to taking him.. Not because I just don't feel like driving to the airport, but sometimes I just don't want to watch him walk away.. When I do take him, I just drop him off at the curb, I don't go in with him because I hate watching him walk away to the terminal.. And when I drop him at at the curb we only have a couple seconds for a quick kiss goodbye and he has to go.. It sucks watching him leave, and this time I didn't want him to go.. Well I never want him to go, but this time I really didn't want him to go.. Because he and Skie went to New Mexico when he first got home, I only had 3 weeks with him instead of 4, so in a selfish way, I felt a little jipped.. Anyway, he is at the airport now checking in..
So it's back to my 'Clay is away' routine.. I have a bunch of laundry to do.. I slacked off and didn't do any for 2 days.. It's amazing how quickly it piles up, even with just 3 people! I need to do the floors in the living room and clean up the bunny room.. Skie gave the rabbits a phone book to play with yesterday and now there is shredded paper everywhere.. I also have Elaine's blanket to work on.. I am a third of the way finished, and so far it looks good.. I had started one for her a while ago, but didn't like the patterns so I unraveled it and started again.. Lucky for me it's doesn't have to be finished until Christmas..
I canceled my Blockbuster Online account and went back to Netflix.. Blockbuster never seemed to have the movies I wanted, and if they did, they were always on back order, and it takes Blockbuster 3 days to send me the movies.. Netflix can have them here the next day and they have all the movies I want..
Last night Clay and I watched 'There Will Be Blood' it was a good movie, all about an oil man.. Clay really liked it (duh) and by watching it, I was finally able to understand what it is Clay does for a living.. Funny, I have been married to the oil field for 11 years and I just now get it.. He has tried explaining it over the years but it was confusing.. So the movie helped :) And I have to say, I'm pretty impressed.. Well naturally I have always been impressed with Clay's ability to do his job.. After all, he IS Halliburton's 'Golden Boy' (not a name I chose for him, Halliburton did that) but after actually seeing what he does, I'm even more impressed..
I have started a new project.. Well, not really a project, but a new subject.. Ok, not even a new subject, I had studied it a little, a while ago, but I wanted to learn more about it, so there ya go.. I love to learn about different religions.. Call it a hobby.. I have covered Wicca (ugh), just about every pagan tradition I could think of (and even a few made up ones).. Naturally I have studied the Vodun belief (I think everyone knows that) and I was working on studying the Mormon religion.. I have quite a bit of information already, but I somehow managed to loose my Book of Mormon, so I had to stop until Elaine gives me a new one.. So then I decided to study Satanism.. No one freak out ok? I said study, not follow.. It was actually really simple.. The book 'The Satanic Bible' is a quick and easy read, and it wasn't difficult to find other information.. So, that's finished.. I wanted to study the Jehovah's Witness religion but it's difficult to find accurate information without actually joining the church.. I also wanted to study Scientology, but I have discovered that there isn't much you can learn about Scientology without paying for it.. So pretty much all I have learned about Scientology is that Tom Cruise is a whacko and anything you want to know about Scientology, you have to pay for..
So, I picked a new subject.. It's not a religion though.. I am studying the 'Law of Attraction'.. I had become interested after I watched 'The Secret', after watching it I just thought, "wow, that's simple".. And yeah, it is.. But I decided that I wanted to learn more, so I got some books on the subject and started again last night.. So yeah, y'all will probably get sick of my Law of Attraction posts..
But hey, it's my blog right? Besides, we could all benefit from a little more positive thinking right?

Oh Awesome! I just found the Book of Mormon online.. You can even download the audio version.. Cool, I can crochet and study at the same time :)

*sigh*

My clay leaves in an hour..
Bummer..

Tuesday


To change your life fast, use gratitude to shift your energy.. When you put all of your energy into gratitude, you will miracles take place in your life..

To change things quickly, commit to writing 100 things that you are grateful for each day, until you see the change.. And FEEL the gratitude.. Your power is in the FEELING that you put into the words of gratitude..
