You are Agonistic

You're not sure if God exists, and you don't care. For you, there's no true way to figure out the divine. You rather focus on what you can control - your own life. And you tend to resent when others "sell" religion to you.

It's almost that time of the year! Are you scared yet?

BOO! I'm excited already! I just love Halloween. It brings back lots of good memories and of course a few cases of sugar shock but I didn't bounce off to many walls. Of course I always think of Uncle Randy when I think of Halloween. I think I love this holiday almost as much as he did. You know the end of August is hard to get past because that was when he died, the end of September is hard because that was when his birthday was..he would have been 45 this year, and the end of October is hard because of Halloween. I guess it is all in the way you look at it....its hard because he left a lasting impression on me. Would I have wanted it any other way? NAH! So, now when I decorate for Halloween I think of him. I am in the process of working on my homemade tombstones. I will take a picture of them if I ever get them finished. I have to just remember that they don't have to be perfect...you know how I get. Can anyone say obsessive perfectionist? Its sickening. Sometimes things look better when they are just slapped together, especially for Halloween.
I know I bought a bunch of crap on clearance after Halloween last year. I can't remember what...but I can't wait to bust it out of my storage containers in the attic. Maybe I will bring them down this weekend. I personally feel it is to early to actually start decorating...but who says I can't go over my stock and figure out what I want to do this year. Oh....this is going to be FUN, FUN, FUN. I'll update you on my progress at a late date.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, save your excuses....

Attention...

The Annual Chrismas Ornament Exchange count down had begun!

Please start your ornaments as soon as possible if you have not finished them yet. I know how you guys are. Mine are done...DONE...yeah, that is right. YES, I am rubbing it in. So, if you are listed below, consider yourself warned: Amy Bender, Tamora Russell, Michelle Bartels, Shari Little and me...Annette Kaster. Oh and by the way, stop popping out babies. If this keeps up, I may have to stop making ornaments for all of your children too. How sad would that be? Get to it ladies!

Quote of the day that made me smile...

Some people are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you still cant help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs .

This is Stephanie Koehler Russell....isn't she cute! Tami sent me this picture because I harassed the poor Mother of three. I'm shameless!

Interesting dream....

So, my friend Raine had a dream about me last night. Well, not strictly about me but I was referenced it in. She was talking to my Mother who at first she mistook for her Grandmother....but then it wasn't really her Grandma...it was my Mom...whom she has never met. Anyway, My Mom was telling her that I got married and showed her a picture of my husband and that I would not be coming back to New York. She said he looked like a Nebraska Farm Boy...just my type....I guess, but how interesting is that. Oh there was more to the dream but it was mostly freaky stuff with Twit and an evil box of fur rope. Dreams are the craziest things, aren't they? Still, I want to know what this mysterious husband looked like.

Mom dared me....she just doesn't know me at all!

silentrunner92947: Really, oh, you are evil
Nett: me....yes I am evil
Nett: and you love it
Nett: cause I am just like my MOM
silentrunner92947: Don't get to many bright ideas about that picture of me..
Nett: what...what....
Nett: I wasn't thinking of that
Nett: you would kill me
silentrunner92947: I have one of you in a yellow sports car, butt-ass naked
Nett: yeah...I have it too
Nett: lol
Nett: maybe I should post it first
Nett: so nobody else can get to it
silentrunner92947: Dare you
Nett: Dare me? How dare you!
silentrunner92947: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Nett: Ok, fine...fine...you don't think I will do it, do you?
silentrunner92947: well, it would surprise me
Nett: Well, I am full of surprises!!!

I went to bed early...but....

I woke up a little bit ago. I had a terrible nightmare, one that was way to real. I woke up shaking, out of sorts, and completely freaked out. I can't go back to sleep yet. I decided to get up and keep myself busy for a little bit. I watched an episode of WEED on Showtime and then flipped to THE NOTEBOOK but I really didn't feel like watching some sappy movie so I decided to check my email. Nothing new there.

I've been preoccupied lately. My mind has been going a mile a minute. That is pretty normal but I have been a bit more quiet than normal....me....quiet....that is not so normal. I know, I know! So what is my deal? I have no clue. I'm happy but I am worried about a friend right now....maybe that is part of my problem. I don't know. I've just been a little restless. That tends to happen when I am thinking too much.

I've also been in a creative slump. That is the worst part. I really feel like I want to create something new but I don't know what to do or where to start. I know that this too shall pass. It just bites. On an upside...I have been in a mail mood. I have sent out a ton of packages and a few letters. I'm getting ready for Halloween which is always exciting. I just love Halloween. I'm not doing a costume this year though. It seems like a huge waste of money...because I can never just do a half assed costume. OK, I'm going to go back to bed now...maybe I have unwound enough to actually fall asleep. Later Gators!

September 11th...more than a day of sadness...

Happy Birthday Katie, Happy Birthday to you....are you one, are you two, are you three...(skip a little ahead)...are you eighteen? Yes you are! I'm glad you had a great birthday and felt very loved...cause you are, oh yes, you certainly are my friend! MWAH!

AWwww...the best thank you I have gotten in a long time.

When I asked Katie if she got my packages, she replied," Yes I did!!!!! Thank you soooo much!!! You made my day. When I got the really big, light package I thought you were pulling an ass move and sending me a box with nothing in it. That would have been f#%king hilarious... but I loved the balloons and the perfume... hahah I'm having so much fun asking people what that CURIOUS smell is. Muwahaha. The curtains really pull together the room ... it's sooo pretty. You're the bestest ever. You made me feel so loved today! I love you netter better!" To which I replied, "Not as much as I love you...Katie Leacher!" Her Birthday is this Sunday.

And the winner is:

Danielle Lyons for a very well thought out essay. I had to go with it for several reasons but i'm giving out a couple of other prizes just because I like to mail stuff. Sally~ I'm mailing you something special for your poor little Kitty...poor guy, how is he feeling? Lucas...I'm thinking about sending you something too but I have to think about it some more. Cindy gets a prize for the most pathetic attempt at a prize....lol, JESH!

Mike, all is forgiven!

How can I stay upset with Mike? Especially since he called and explained himself. I don't feel so bad about it now. Anyway, he was clear out East. I did get his promise that he would call the next time and he shouldn't be so rushed then, so he will be able to visit a little while. Lucky bugger....you are spared the wrath of Netter. Love yah Cousin!

Katie's latest class assignment.

I was talking to Katie earlier and she shared with me a little of her poetry for her class at F & M. I enjoyed them very much.

Selected poetry of Katie

I wish we could be like this all day.
Kiss upon
Kiss upon
Kiss upon
Kiss
And forty more to fill the void
Of the seconds we spend apart.
Hide behind that door again.
Grab me like a savage and kiss me until I can’t breathe.
Make my body limp again.
No one’s looking.
No one’s listening.
I’ll tell you that I need you,
You’ll tell me just the same.
We’ll lay enfolded in each other’s arms thinking
“What they don’t know won’t kill them.”

(and)

My heart flutters from one extreme to another,
Leaving me as fragile as a butterfly,
Sending my mind in a spin, my soul in a sling.

Late night wanderings...

Ok, I was asleep but I think I was sleepwalking again. My light was off and the door was closed when I went to sleep and just now I found myself sitting on my bed, facing the wall. ????!!!???? I turned around and the door was wide open and my light was on. The package I was planning on mailing to Tami and the baby was on top of my silver jewerly boxes. I would never sit a big box like that on top of them. It's so strange. OK, well...I'm off to bed again. I really hope I don't walk all over the house when I do this crap. It's only getting worse too. I never did this when I was younger. CRAPOLA! I'll just blame it on my parents...they seem like good scape goats. Mwahahaha. Hi Mom!

Wanna see Tami's baby girl?

Its almost that time of year. It's coming, yes indeed, its coming. I'm ready to break out the sweatshirts and sweaters....my favorite time of the year is approaching. Are you ready? 

I had forgotten how much I love these crazy crackers. I can't stop eating them once I start...its insane. Someone needs to hide the box from me. NOW!
