Part of me is kinda sad that it is almost gone, and part of me wants it to be gone.

I love being able to sleep in & stay up late. The bad thing about that is that I find it just makes me so lazy during the day time. I hardly have the energy to do anything all day long. There is no motivation. My sleep pattern is just so whacked out. It doesn’t help that I have insomnia either. I dread when midnight comes, because I know Jeremy is going to want to go to bed soon. I don’t ever stay up alone without him, so that means I gotta go to bed too. Which also means I will be laying in bed for a couple hours before I fall asleep. I’ve been finding that playing Soduko on my phone helps me fall asleep. I play a game, and then I have to beat my time. I can’t turn it off until I do that.

I am looking forward to school starting though, because I have to wake up early and get the kids up and ready. I really do enjoy the mornings too, but I just sleep right through them into the afternoon. Luckily Sheldyn sleeps just as long as me. She’s gonna be in trouble when school starts too. We are going to have to go to bed earlier a week before school.

I’m also enjoying the kids being home, I think that is because we aren’t in an apartment and they have the neighbor kids to play with outside. They are usually out there after breakfast until 9pm. So they aren’t driving me nuts.

I am not looking forward to school starting because I seriously fear the troubles I am going to get from Chase. The homework, that I’m going to have to nag, and nag him to do. The homework that I bitch and bitch about all week to do and then he doesn’t turn in. The half-assed school work, the class work not done. The reading he refuses to do. I am seriously dreading that more then a root canal!!! The good news is I heard that rather then a weekly packet that will be turned in on Friday, that he will have nightly homework, that is to be turned in the next day. So he can’t slack off the night, and put it off until Thursday night.

Anyway, I jsut want my sleeping to be better, so I am awake during the day. I’m seriously considering getting some wine, and have a glass or two a night to make me sleepy at a normal hour. Over the weekend, I was up on Friday until 6:15 a.m. and Saturday until 5 a.m., and I could have kept going. Not good!

While listening to The Doors tonight on the way to get the kids, I realized once again, that Jim Morrison’s voice is the only voice that when listening to the music, that I can stop singing along with and just listen. I’m not sure why exactly, except that I find it really beautiful. It can be soft, soothing, loud, rough, & high. I’ve never heard someone be able to scream, and it actually sound good, but he could. There is so much feeling in his voice, and the way he pronounce’s words, is something I’ve always loved. He clearly says his words.

I’m really, really, loving listening to The Doors again. The music inspires me. It gets the creative juices flowing, and gives me the feeling like anything is possible. Maybe, I am just really weird. Maybe I did to much acid when I was a teenager. When I was younger and doing acid, I often thought of The Doors as my religion. It was like listening to hymns for me. That sounds ridiculous, I am sure to everyone out there, but I don’t care. That is how I felt. I pretty much grew into an adult with things I realized while on acid, and also all my years listening to The Doors. I’d say it is a huge part of where my  beliefs came from.

Anyway, I don’t want to sound like a complete freak, but maybe I am. Either way, I don’t care…because I really like me. So whatever.

I’ve never been a big fan of Trader Joe’s. I’ve never found anything there that I loved and couldn’t get at the grocery store. When I lived in Orange County, there was a Henry’s right down the street, which is somewhat like Trader Joe’s, but bigger. It had all the Organic, health food stuff, but more selection. It was like 4 times the size of Trader Joe’s. Anyway, we went to Trader Joe’s last week, to check it out again, and Jeremy wanted some wasabi peas. We found frozen fish there, and it was really cheap. About $4 a lb. So we bought Tuna steaks, and it looked like there was a marinade all over the tuna. We cooked it up last night for dinner with some wild rice, and broccoli. Oh My God!!! That tuna was the BEST thing I have eaten in a very long time. Like it was to die for yummy. So I went grocery shopping today, and we stopped by TJ’s, and bought 3 more Tuna Steaks and also a Halibet which looks like it has the same marinade on it which was lemony and devine. My mouth is seriously watering right now thinkng about it.

I just took my time eating it last night, and savoring every bite I took. You really should run out and buy some, because it is THAT good! God, I can’t wait for tomorrow to make it for dinner!

My two favorite things in the world right now are those Tuna Steaks and my Bare Mineral’s make-up.

I ran across a new blog today called Scribble Scratch, written by a delightful woman by the name of Teresa Maree. She is a Georgia Peach, a housewife, and an extraordinary photographer! You can see her photo’s here at teresamaree.com. I knew I was hooked, when I saw pictures in nearly every post, because well you know how I love pictures. Also when I read that she was having trouble sleeping! Hello! That’s me! Right now it’s 1:52 am, and this is the time I dread…because well I’m not tired at all! So, two things in common, and I also see that she is doing the 365 thing on Flickr! Three things! Yay!

So, you should go check her out on her blog, and look at her pretty pictures! I wish I could take pictures that good. Maybe one day.

Last night, I stayed up until 6 am. Why, I have no idea, except I wasn’t tired at all, and I somehow got onto another’s Door’s kick. If you’ve known me for awhile, you know about my love for The Door’s music and Jim Morrison. The Door’s are my “foundation” for music. I listened to them every single day for 11 years straight! I know I listened to a few other things hear and there, but my favorite and always faithful Doors’ was my main interest. That is a long time to listen to a band. I’ve been to a signing with the surviving Doors’ and even went to a Door’s concert minus Jim…which really isn’t a Doors concert…but as close as I could get. I’ve been to countless Wild Child shows, a Door’s tribute band…which is the closest thing your going to get to seeing Jim Morrison perform live. Those shows were always so good, and I just loved them.
I found that during that time of listening to the music, I would go through periods of writing poetry, and drawing. It inspired me. After an 11 year stint, my life went a little crazy, and I started listening to Sublime, and The Descendants.  I kinda left The Door’s by the way side, although I still loved it. So since then I go through phases where I get all worked up about them again, and start reading stuff on the internet, and listening to the music. That happened last night. Oh, I know how it happened. I was looking at pictures on Flickr, and somehow ran across this guys picture of the Six Feet Under house. I then wandered around the net looking for the address. Which I kinda found, and then somehow found “The Door’s Los Angeles Guide” which basically shows you pictures of every haunt known that Jim Morrison or The Door’s went to. There is also a Paris & New York one. I’ve seen this website a lot of times, and have even gone to some of the more well known places. Sort of a mini tour if you will. So, I jotted down some addresses, and today we packed up the dogs, went and bought them seat belts (because we love them like that!), and drove to LA, and tried to find some places. My list was pretty shitty, so we only found  John Densmore & Robby Krieger’s old house in Laurel Canyon, which was Jim Morrison’s permanent address in 1968, I think. He also wrote People are Strange there. On the way up the hill this Audi was behind us, and I was annoyed because I wanted to take a picture. So we pass the house, and turn around…and the Audi had pulled in the driveway and was knocking on the door. Ha! I took a picture anyway, and the lady was looking right at me.

Then we went to Jim’s old girlfriend’s old apartment where she died of a heroin overdose. We walked up the street and let the dogs go pee…then we went to the Six Feet Under house.

Little did we know we were driving to the ghetto, called Jefferson Park. The house was there and huge, and it was kinda crazy seeing it in person. There were a bunch of black guys walking their huge pitbulls with chains (grrr!), and it was just kinda scary. So we looked, we saw, we got the hell out of dodge.

Oh!Last night on my Jim Morrison binge, I was reading the New York Guide, and it said Patricia Kennealy Morrison, this was the one who had the witch wedding with Jim Morrison. I have read her book she wrote about her life with Jim now less then 5 times. Then when I wanted to know more about Paganism, I’d buy books and read them, and somehow her name or Jim Morrison’s name would always pop up in the books I’d buy to my surprise! I even almost wrote her once, because I liked her book and she fascinated me for some reason. So, I look her up, and I see she has a myspace. I go there, and read her page, and write her and request to be her friend, and she writes me back! How cool it that??? I thought it was pretty damn cool! She seems like if you say the wrong thing to her, she will de-friend you and hate you, but I want to just bombarded her with questions!!! I will refrain, I suppose!

Anyway, that was my day. Fun, fun.

I have had a couple of canvases laying around the house for quite some time now, and I finally busted one out and started painting my not so masterpiece. Actually I already painted one for the living room, and I am painting another one with the same colors and inspired by my new rug. I need to finish is up though. So far so good. You know like I said it’s no masterpiece, but it matches my living room, I like to paint, and it’s cute. The colors are dark brown, tan, and varies colors of green. Why do I love green so much? Like, I really, really love green. It makes me happy, and when I see something in the shade of green that I love, my insides start flipping out from happiness, and I have to buy it.

I bought some nice candlesticks this week and green candles to go on top. They are really nice, and wood. They are carved with leaves, and there are spaces between the leaves, and it’s hollow in the middle. I love them! Jeremy says they are to fancy. He said that about the table I had in storage too, but it looks nice, and that’s all i care about.

We bought a new couch and rug, and got the table in here, and it looks so nice in this house now. If we had some new carpet, it would look really good. When the kids came home on Sunday after we got the couch and the table they both said “Our house is fancy now!” Ha!

Plus last week we took out the hideous table Jeremy had previous that I covered with a red sheet…and all the boxes I had stacked in the corner with all my pans and stuff. The good thing about it all is that I keep the house clean now, and I want to keep it clean.

Oh! and I found furniture polish at Big Lots, for a whole $1.50 and it totally repels the dust man! For some reason our house is super dusty. After one day there used to be a layer of dust on every surface, now…there’s not much at all after like 4 days. Love that!

We need to get working on the Bug! We were all pumped up at first, and now it has just fizzled. Maybe more for me then Jeremy. He was messing around on Photoshop after seeing this website about “photochopping”. So he was chopping the roof, and making it lower, and I kinda liked it. Actually, I really liked how it looked…but I don’t think we need to get all crazy chopping the bug, and I really don’t want the roof sitting on top of my head. He can do that when he gets his own bug. HaHa! Even though he did buy this one. LOL! It’s mine, all mine.

Anyway, we got a side mirror today. Jeremy had bought it on eBay, and the photo showed two mirrors, but I guess the writing said it was for one, and to state which side you wanted through paypal, then the next sentences was I do not except Paypal. Idiot. Who sells on eBay at this point and does not take Paypal???

Man, I have been the biggest slacker with blogging and doing Pay Per Post. It sucks too. I mean I love having money in my paypal. I’m going to be really sad when I don’t have money coming in for like 3 weeks. I get sad when I won’t have anything coming in for over a week. I’ve been spend happy lately too, and buying stuff left and right. Luckily, I still have a little bit of restraint in my purchasing. I still have to really rethink buying things, especially if it is over $50. I’m kinda cheap, and $50 or over to me is a lot of money, and I have to really want it.

There is this clock at Target that I want. It’s 20″ and is $85. I really, really want it. I’ve actually wanted it for about a year now. A couple days ago, I was |this close| to buying it. Like I picked it up and was about to put it in my cart…then I called my bank. Then I put it back. Ha! I figured I was going to be getting $85 in my paypal the next day, so I decided to wait. I’m sick of spending all my paypal money though, and having nothing in there…so I don’t know if I will get it. I actually have $50 of my b-day money left, and I think I will go buy it if I can save that until I get money again.

Why is buying stuff so fun???
