We certainly have become a very materialistic society and apparently many of us are considered hoarders. There is a big push for us to down size and organize all of the “stuff” that we are constantly bringing home. I have been in a few homes through out the years that I would consider to belong to hoarders, not a pleasant place to be. I can’t imagine living the way so many of these people do.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of stuff and I certainly could use a good down sizing. I’ve been wanting to gather up a good amount of stuff and have a yard sale for a few years, but yard sales are so much work that just the thought of holding one gets my stomach all in knots. I think what I really should do is to call a Houston Junk removal company and have them come and just take it all away in one full swoop. That way I don’t have to sort, fix, clean up, display, price and deal with nasty and rude customers for two days straight. And then when all is said and done there is always stuff left over that you have to deal with. What a pain.

No matter what we do we seem to just keep getting Spam, Spam and more Spam, sorry I’m just tired of going on to the computer and having to deal with all of the adult rated junk and online narcotic ads that seem to find their way into my computer no matter what box I check off and block things when given the opportunity. I’m going to have to talk with my brother’s buddy who is a computer whiz type of guy and see what he suggests, it is really getting on my nerves.

One thing about moving back in with my father when I split up with my husband, was leaving the neighborhood that we had lived in for almost 9 years and all of the friends that we had made there. Our daughter wasn’t happy about leaving her friends that she had made at her school either, which I can certainly understand and sympathize with, even though I try my best to schedule play dates and sleep overs with many of them when I can.

Our next door neighbors were the best neighbors that I have ever had the pleasure of having and knowing. They had an awesome swimming pool in there backyard that we spent a lot of time enjoying during the warm and hot weather months. One thing about using some one else’s pool is that you don’t have to deal with any of the up keep that goes along with a pool. They had to provide the pool filters and pool chemicals and all of the other pool supplies that are necessary to keep a pool safe, clean and fun, while we just got to enjoy all that a pool offers people that love water. I really miss them and their pool.

Well this morning I had gone to the little gas station down the street from my house, where I purchased a drink called Monster thinking it was just to boost you up a little bit for the day ahead. Unfortunately about 5 hours after drinking it, I had experienced jittery bursts out of no where, and I couldn’t stop thinking about everything at the quick speed it was going.

I got so ahead of myself that I ended up spilling hot coffee all over my white blouse that I had on, what a mess! Now I’m worn out and I feel like I ran 8 miles with no break, about to pass out. Be aware of these drinks they cant be too healthy for you.

Have you ever had a tarot reading? Last time we were in New Orleans we came across an older lady on the sidewalk in front of Jackson Square, with a lap table and deck of tarot cards. She only asked $10 for a reading, so I gave it a whirl.The positions of the 9-card life cycle tarot card spread take advantage of the properties of the magic number ‘9.’ That’s what I chose for her reading.

A reading of the 9-card spread provides a view of your past, present, and future at three depths

the body (unconscious)
mind (personality, ego) and
soul (higher power)
It was fun to watch the whole presentation and added some extra magical qualities to our evening in the French Quarter.
