Diety, hmmmmm
You are Nommo...
Take Which religious Diety are you? today!
Created with Rum and Monkey's Personality Test Generator.
You are ancestral spirits worshipped by the Dogon tribe of Mali, Africa. The word Nommo is derived from a Dogon word meaning, "to make one drink." You are an amphibious creature of the water. You are also referred to as "the Teacher". This is because you teach people of the importance of self actualization, beauty, open mindedness, and love by way of hallucinogenic plants and a closeness to the waters. You are truthful and benevolent... you are worth worshipping.

Randomness
I'm at the radio station today. As I was leaving for the whopping 15 minute commute (including DuDo's drivethru!), Cass was just whining up, I mean waking up & Blixx was putting the trash out. I can not express to you how nice & relaxing it is here at the station. I mean, hardly any whining & other than a few minor duties, I'm playing online games, reading and generally screwing around until 5. I love my little daughter with all my heart, but sometimes Mommie needs a little break from the non-stop NEEEEEEEEEEDS. Blixx has been working a lot lately, then he did a quickie camp trip for a few days so Cass will be thrilled that it's all daddy, all the time today.
Anyway, screwing around on the internet I came across these gems:
Ron Muek's Contemporary Art weirds me out.
Online Pregnancy Test - pretty funny stuff. Mine is a boy.
Mixed Messages on a t-shirt. Great, so we can confuse men even further while they stare at our tits.
Dumb Connecticut Laws - check it out, Guilford is famous! Some others.
Check out these handy inventions. I'm a huge fan of the gas powered blender! Think b-day kids!

Once you learn to ride...
So I guess the old addage is true. I got on a bike today for the first time in...geeze, this is just a guess mind you, but I'm guessing 15 years! Grips & Red got new mountain bikes so we all went out, us on their old ones, and set off on a 6 mile ride. We'd walked this particular rail trail earlier in the year and wow did it just fly by on the bikes. I'm certainly feeling it in my legs and ass, but I was pretty proud of myself in how little whining I did on the journey. Poor Blixx hauled both girls in a tow behind carrier so he'll be feeling it in the morning. We b;ew off church and decided to spend the holiday outdoors enjoying the day.
Tomorrow we're all going to Southwick's Zoo. I'll be sure to post pictures.
Happy Easter!

The weather is vastly improving and I am so excited. I'm camping in a month & 1/2!!! Woo Hoo! Instead of going out to Vincent's last night, I invited the gang over here for a fire in the yard. It was wonderful, and it made Blixx feel good that I included him in my Tuesday plans. I did kinda miss the seedy bar dim lighting with the piano music, but hey I gotta be good to my man.
This week has proven super busy for Cass & I. Monday we drove out to Sturbridge to have a bookstore reunion party at my friend's house. I haven't seen her in months and she's now super pregnant so it was great to catch up. Her son LOVES me and Cass LOVES her so it was just like old times when Griff attached himself to me for the day, and Cass 'helped' Sar. Another baby friend of Cass's is walking now...another of her friends is already reading! It's only been a few months since the Belfrey closed it's doors, but so much has changed. Anyway, it was great to see folks and Cass had fun too.
Yesterday (Tues) I dropped my car off at the dealership to get the driver seat unstuck from the all the way back position. I can BARELY reach the petals without propping myself up. Blixx put it back to drive us around on Saturday & it just won't get unstuck. My friend Tee picked us up and we went out for lunch with her 2 (hellion) girls and icecream! Yeah! Blixx got out of work early so he & Cass worked in the yard for several hours while I caught up on paying some bills, cleaned up the house and got dinner ready. Blixx, Cass & I actually all sat down at the table together at the same time, before 8pm, and ate dinner. That hasn't happened in a little bit of forever. I mentioned the fire in the evening.
Today I've got Qball to watch. I think we'll stick around here and head outside in the yard for a few hours. Perhaps I can read a book while they amuse themselves...hehe yea right! Nice dream. I'll get them planting bulbs with me. Tonight is a new Lost so I assume Grips will be over to watch with us. Tomorrow we're going to a party at ChuckECheese, which should be a nightmare for me and a ton of fun for Cass. She loves that place but it's more than a little overwhelming for me. Too loud with too many kids. Yikes, I might be taking Qball with me too. Friday is off for Worc school kids, which means Vic has the day off. Either Grips will also have the day off & we'll do something outdoorsy together (kayaking weather permitting) or he has a shoot so I've got Vic for the day. I'm feeling a field trip to McD's playplace in our near future. Saturday is a double birthday party for Red & Flyboy, combined with an Easter egg hunt for the little ones.
Sunday is Easter and as of right now, we don't have any plans. My Mom & her Dick will be at Mt Washington and I just don't want to drive up there. Blixx's family is occupied elsewhere & Easter is the holiday where Grip's family runs off to be by themselves. I was thinking of kayaking or doing something outside. Maybe having a big dinner here. I don't know what we'll end up doing, other than going to church.
Yep, I've been going to the Unitarian Universalist Church here in Worcester. Preacher is a teacher there and several other friends have been going for years so I guess we're just jumping on their bandwagon. Its nothing like the church I grew up on, which is fine with me. It's an amalgamation of several religious influences. "Our interests lie in deeds, not creeds." I've only been to one official service, but the pastor read from both the bible & from a Jewish text, followed by a Buddhist poem about resistance. Dude managed to tie them all in together and make us laugh. He even said 'shit' during the service. Yeah, conventional church this is not. Cass has a great time in Sunday school too, and that's really why I'm there.
The natives are restless here. They are throwing sandwiches at each other. Not cool.
