Ahh the last day of August. Last day of “Picture A Day”… =( it has been fun, I have made some new friends and gotten new subs. I will of course continue posting pics, I just don’t know if they will be daily…we’ll see.
Goodnight and goodbye “A Picture A Day” =D
Go check out the last of the daily pictures at C_l_o_g, Shining_Garnet, and lil_mama2499
Don’t you just wish you could wish on a sunset? I mean they are just as beautiful as the stars…there could be fairies in the sky at sunset…maybe it is a better time to wish? The stars just don’t seem to do it for me. lol

A nice cool, breezy, but warm day outside. Beach weather. Whenever I feel sad or miss the beach I like to look at the thousands of pics I took at Sea World. I want so badly to go back, one day I will. The Killer Whale is my favorite animal, along with some choice Big Cats, but it is harder to catch a glimpse the my ocean favorite. I wanted to just spend the week just sitting on a bench watching them swim. Yes, I do think Sea World is my favorite “amusement” park. This pic, so calm and relaxing. No wonder I wanted to be a mermaid as a little girl. LOL.

I am still a little lazy/lethargic from the all day headache yesterday so I will post a pic I took earlier this month. it is just too damn cute not to post. Hehe
I was making some No Pudge brownies and had a little helper. Being a good “sis” or “mom” or whatever he likes to call me, I let my little helper lick the spoon. 
It was quite an experience watching him, so funny! I have a good 30 pics. This last one where I asked for a smile is frame worthy. Hehe, I heart him.

Job interview today! Yay! It went really well! Not only do I just love the owner of the place, but my friend works there (she told me about the job). It is a laid back environment and everyone I saw seems really nice. Oh I hope I gets it! *fingers crossed while singin’ “say a little prayer for me”*
I have a list of things I need and want to get done once I get a job, at the bottom of the list is making this area more…me. Hehe My head is hurting today(possibly food related…again) so this is a quick picture of the side of the house where I have been taking lots of pics. =D

Lalala, minding my own business, walking down the sidewalk in front on the house on the way to my quiet little nook to take finally the “whole picture” when I see in front of me this large thing just laying there. Curious me goes “ooh!” and gets down on my hands and knees. lol. A large beetle bug guy. I am kinda sad he is dead because he is so pretty. But I know if he were alive I’d be running and screaming because it is so big. Anything that is or resembles a roach is NOT ok in my book and definitely scream worthy. lol. Oh I am odd, yup. Hmmm I think I like yesterdays pic better, I am not so artsy today. lol
Don’t forget the other daily pic. Go check em out!
I am a bit behind today but…work calls…
Scattered around my little ‘side of the house oasis’ are fallen red leaves. I just think they add such beauty and color to the place. It would be dull with out them since there are no flowers. I have really come to enjoy the area and plan to make it mine. hehe

My grandma is, a sweet old lady. So I always thought. They say as patients with Dementia and Alzheimer’s progress they get mean. Well I know it is true, to an extent…
A little back story, my Grandma, while I love her dearly has some terrible qualities that we have learned of these last few years. She is a kleptomaniac. She will steal from the lost and found at church, and even at the dollar store. She changes price tags to get a dollar item for 25 cents! She will steal anything in the house and hide it in her room. iPods, makeup, baby toys, silverware and clothes to name a few. If you catch her and confront her, she gets pissed and she lies.
Yup she is terrible about lying and making up stories. If you find something hidden in her pockets or down her pants she says she found it on the floor and didn’t know where to put it. Or that she has one just like this and thought it was hers, then proceed to fight you for it! My sister’s boyfriend got hurt at work and she said that she read it in a pamphlet or something. She once said that she had a pet monkey growing up. lol She told my mom the dog killed it, told my dad they sent it off to the circus and told my aunt they sent it off with a family to live in Africa. She has this way of manipulating a situation so she gets what she wants. Too bad I don’t fall for it. She will look at a shirt and say “oh that is so nice, I remember I had one just like it growing up. I wish I still had it.” or “This reminds me of something my dear old Uncle had, where can I get one?” All in hopes of you surrendering the item she wants. The manipulation is terrible!
In the last year or so she has become almost cruel. She will open a magazine and blatantly point and laugh at anyone she considers fat. If she is watching a movie she calls any actor or actress who is not drop dead gorgeous ugly and laugh at them. She will say “man when I was growing up the had much better looking people on tv. How can you watch these people? Look how fat that one is!” Oh it really pisses me off!
So last night, we are watching a movie for my mom’s birthday. We pause the movie so my Grandma can go to the bathroom, when my mom goes in to check on her she laughs and says “you know every time I see that girl out there she gets fatter” Well that girl was me, and hey! I’ve lost weight!! Well my mom starts crying and says “Mom that is my daughter. How can you say that when your mom was a heavy woman.” She makes up some lie about how she was just commenting off the conversation they were just having. Huh? You were alone in there woman! I heard only what my mom had said and did not know that she was talking about me. I was really pissed because she was making my mom cry on her birthday. When she came out she started playing with things on the counter I was trying to clean. I told her she could leave those alone and go to bed. lol. She goes in her room and overhears my mom crying to my dad on the back porch. She tries to go out there but can’t open the baby locked door. I ask what she is doing and she says “I am trying to go see why my baby is crying” I told her, well, You said mean things and made her cry on her birthday.” I was a bit harsh both times, but I have an Irish/Italian temper and dammit she was messing with my mom! lol
After my mother explained the situation to her my Grandma came in the house and apologized to me, I was still not in a forgiving mood(and still did not know what was really said), but I explained to her what it is that she says and how it comes across, but I still accepted her apology. She had an excuse as always then went into her room, weeping and talking about how she used to be teased for being fat. Well we all know that is a bunch of bull and a story she is telling to turn the sympathy onto herself.
Later my mom told me what my grandma had said, I was incredibly hurt. I still am. I do so much for my Grandma, I have never made fun of her, and have never laughed when she has had “accidents” which I had to clean up. We cater to her every whim and she repays us by being cruel. So today, I am trying to figure out, how can you be mad at someone who, this morning does not remember what happened. I will get over it, but in the mean time, I am hurt and don’t know exactly know where I can put my feelings.
I feel like all I need is a little babbling brook or a pond and I would have the perfect sanctuary. I will have to take a full picture so you can see why I find this side of the house so beautiful. =)
Dont forget C_l_o_g, Shining_Garnet, and lil_mama2499!
How come everything looks prettier in water’s reflection? I wonder, is it because it is distorted?
