(THE MOST AMAZING THING HAPPENED TODAY, selling a dining room set, none-the-less to a stranger)

Stuck on food network... wish i was in ATX with mom; where I could eat whatever the hell i wanted, whenever i wanted - cause we had food; and tons of it (the GOOD shit, if that makes any sense)...

and now cold coffee and "these" waffles aren't cuttin it. LOL. I feel spoiled when I see my mom (not that I am), but when it comes to food, she always says, "I could never deny you food." (So I get what ever I want, when ever I want - if I feel like sushi, it's sushi... when we go buy groceries; it's not "what's on sale this week (that's VEGAN, none-the-less)" it's "whatever you want, no matter anything."

::grin:: my tummy is grumbling just thinking about how well off it is in Austin, with Mom... HAha!

(Same thing with Gramma in San Diego - when it comes to food)

***

Speaking of family, moving plans have been shifted around to include a visit with dad and gramma out in SD. I figure, "what not?" It just works... we're driving "BY"... kinda-sorta.

My little sister got here first job; on her first interview too! eee! I am so proud of and happy for her...

(damn, i am stoned. Ugh. I hate it when it when the buzz is the way it is now... GIR... and i was quitting too, lol... this is just one more reason why I should stop - for the "bad buzzes", which, paired with panic attacks, DO NOT MIX WELL)

but anyhoo... good for her! (my lil sister)... I am proud

...did i mention i was "stuck" on the food network chanel??? rotf...

bobby flay-what's-his-face is put up against some super nasty "kentucky hot browns"... GAGS... this is one of the reasons (and a good example of) why i am vegan... thank God that's ending. haha!

***THE INTERESTING STUFF:

I let a stranger come in, look at my table, buy, and have to wait at my place for over an hour; "strange" but "enlightening" I must say! - She was an ex-J. witness... 50 years old, starting her life OVER... (very sad)... all she's been thru...

We talked about crazy, random shit...

I told her my dancing (at strip clubs) and painting windows (in ATX storms)... she told me crazy stories about the relationships in the jw community... about her crazy relationships... we shared stories about drugged-out ex boyfriends... abuse... fights...

I showed her how to use a bong (not litterally, but visually showed her how to use a piece of mine, that she "asked" about). ROTFL. It was fucking awesome. She has never smoked anything, done any drugs... but she was a pro medical marijuana supporter and was curious...

I can't believe I told a stranger so much about myself, OR (really), the fact that this EX J WITNESS was talking at all, to a tattoo'd, pierced chick about all the things she was.

I made a friend! eee!

After we had the truck loaded with my old, and her new table and chairs, she said the craziest, but endearing thing - she said she strived to be like "me" - "What you are, I strive to be." she told me.

I was so taken - she admired all the "crazy shit" i've done. She called me a "free spirit"

she admired the way I was, the way I am...

all "crazy" and shit. ::grin::

WOW.

I am still "floored"....

Our conversation was "nuts" - we talked like we've known eachother for years - you know, that cliche "dejavu" kinda of feeling. (LOL)

I really hope she keeps in touch, I'm curious about her... and about what we may be able to learn from and/or teach each other.

My Aunt, married to my uncle on my mom's side... SHE was an ex j w too... She also had similar, crazy stories... maybe I am meant to "introduce" them so they can talk...

::shrugs::

I dunno...

When the phone call woke me up this morning and I later learned that I would have to wait around for this delivery guy to show up, I was kinda upset - only cause I was damned tired and just wanted to go back to bed... but i couldn't let her sit in her car outside and wait for this guy, so (of course) i invited her to stay and wait in the apartment with me...

and the rest is history; over an hour went by and I am glad to have answered that early call from her that morning...

Anyhoo... after she said that to me and we traded info, I ran back up stairs "happy" (vs. tired and grumpy) and I wanted to share my interesting "joy" (for her, for the day, for that experience...).

I went into the kitchen to brew my coffee and waffles, wanting to call chris and tell him about the interesting experience, when I looked at the wreath hanging on the back wall and remembered her asking about that too (along with my "glass pieces", grin)...

I felt this urge, or need, rather to just give it to her so I ran back down stairs to catch her before she left and handed it to her.

I told her to "keep it"

and she cried! (how many ppl do THAT anymore?! - She almost made me cry!)

it was a good morning...

SPREAD THE (FUCKING) LOVE PPL! damnit...

see the happy animals (below). If THEY can get along, can't we all???

XOxo



hee hee

XOxo

(gonnnnnnna go try and "pack" some more of the shit that I don't really have... lol. I have no money to my name and I've sold what I do have for a small sum of 400 dollars.)

It's still a SAD world, but there is a little good happening here and there...

SHARE THE LOVE
