Okay.......
so I have a thing
for candles......
Buddhas
creating a sanctuary
or as close to one
as I can
in my home........

My lastest.....additions.............. =)

The shells are from my last trip to the beach......
I was reminded
during a phone call last week
& had to go find them
My friend from Cali was sharing his adventure-day
he took the little ones tide pooling
& treasure hunting .....
Now...the question was ......
how to display the treasures found
I suggested this idea......or burying them into polyurethane....
then incorporate them into the tile mosaic
being created in the remodel.......
or
place them in the floor
a 'forever memory'....
of that day at the beach with dad =)



OM MANI PADME HUM....
His Holiness the Dalia Lama's Mantra.......
OM MANI PADME HUM....
written....in Sanscrit

It looks like this...

According to the Dalai Lama...
the six-syllable mantra means one can transform one's impure body, speech and mind into those of a Buddha by following the path which is inseparable integrality of method and wisdom.

The first syllable, Om, symbolize one's impure body, speech and mind, and also the pure noble body, speech and mind of a Buddha. Buddhism claims that an impure body, speech and mind can be transformed into pure ones of a Buddha, who was once impure and later by removing their negative attributes, achieved enlightenment on his path.

Mani, the jewel, symbolizes factors of method, compassion and love, the altruistic intention to become enlightened. "Just as a jewel is capable of removing poverty, so the altruistic mind of enlightenment is capable of removing the poverty, or difficulties, and of solitary peace. Similarly, just as a jewel fulfils the wishes of sentient beings, so the altruistic intention to become enlightened fulfils the wishes of sentient beings", the Dalai Lama says. 　　　　　　　　　　　　

PADME means lotus and symbolizes wisdom. Growing out of mud but not being stained by mud, lotus indicates the quality of wisdom, which keeps you out of contradiction.

The last syllabus, Hum, means inseparability, symbolizes purity & can be achieved by the unity of method and wisdom.

Hence.....My LOTUS......

~~~Deep Breath.....~~~

::::le sigh::::
tmr I have a PI assignment in the eve.......
& was planning on finishing the schtuff for Dr. Jones......((committee chair))
Looks like its all gonna happen Sun......silently........nite....nite.........

~~~I sooo proud of me~~~

so.....U remember the pool saga?....basically.....I could've just dropped some koi into it last week... a few plants ......& it would've been all good......
anywho.......two weeks ago....
I bit the bullet
had the 'pool guy' out......
...now...U know it is bad.....
when the first thing the guy asks is
so....is this a plaster or pebble-tek....
HA!......
I told him.....
well...its like this.....
in my book?
pool maintenance is on the 'boy list' of chores....
& the boy of this house moved out monthes ago
hence.......the starter Koi-pond appearance....

:::deer in headlights from him....smirk...chuckle.....:::
& "to what extent do U want to go with this?
once its drained.....chlorine-powerwashed....
we might find additional work that needs to be done....."

yeah......I knew that going in......

.....he left a pump at the bottom......
& ....no U couldn't see it...lol
told me to be home to monitor it.....& call him when it was drained.......

that was Sunday before last......
.....as it drained I took the powerwasher to the slime & spent 2 hours washing the silt like layer to the middle to also be sucked up .......
unfortunately....the three inches left in the bottom was too thick to go thru the pump after I washed it all off the walls, steps, bench where the jacuzzi jets are......and the rest of the bottom.......
& by doing this I saved couple hundred in labor......
of course.....that same $ went towards the new pool light installation.......lol

He rewired and installed it last week after a chlorine wash.
....then he tells me I need to call the salt water system tech......because the cell needs to be replaced.......

::::le sigh::::
After I filled the pool back up.......I arranged for the PoolPilot guy to come out.....
((which is this fri......))

OK......so where am I going with all this ???
still reading??
all that info??.....
was to prepare U for y I am sooo proud of myself......

tonite.....I poured in 300 lbs of salt.....(bought 400) but waiting to test water before adding rest....not sure of total gallons in pool......
then I took the filter system apart...
flushed it...
rinsed out the main filter container
& spent 2 hours rinsing out the filter cartridges......
which look like really big air filters U put in the car.......
for lack of a better visual......

put it all back together...
crossed my fingers.......
& flipped the switch......
SUCCESS!
humming along .......pop ups in the floor of the pool all working like they should......
pressure where it should be ......no strange noises....

yeah...babee!!!........Now.....pray that its only the cell that needs to be replaced on fri.......
another $450.00
OI!.......
the joys of homeownership.....when U live alone........
Its all good.........soon enough....warm weather...... & SKINNY-DIPPIN!!

~~Ooops...wrong number ~~

ok....so Stubeans......((nice Tuckas...single friend of mine...remember??....))
Got a text today....
it read......142nzn Dodge Red Neon
& because I am currently (for the last couple months......)

yeah..like I'd ever buy a red car!
.....err....not that there is anything wrong with that.....

he quickly texts back...
Stay away from American Vehicles....
& time to grow up....
neon should be reserved for undergarments only....

STROKE VICTIMS


Three senior ladies named Patsy, Betty, and Nellie
were sitting on a park bench
having a quiet conversation,
when a flasher approached from across the park.


The flasher came up to the ladies,
stood right in front of them
& opened his trench coat.

Nellie immediately had a stroke.

Then Betty also had a stroke.

But Patsy being older & more feeble....


couldn't reach that far.
.........Bless her heart.

~~SearchinG~~

See...there was a double......so two of us had a chance to find the hidden pot....

However.......since it decided to rain.....

& thats okay.....
I'll have some extra time before going into work.....

The pool guy is coming
to acid wash the pebble tek....
I drained it today....
& power-washed all the sludge off the walls, jacuzzi jet benches & stairs
I figure I save me some $$ that will go towards
the parts he will need to buy
to fix the saltwater system I have.....

I will need to use the neighbors bathroom .......
I painted my way backwards from the bedrooms
thru the piano room....

~~Luv Quizzie to follow~~

B4 I get to the luv quizzie......
update time.....
I've been on & off the net
due to a serious need to upgrade my wireless system
Last week...I dropped 300.00
because size does matter
& was fortunate enough to have a friend
who is a 'puter guru help a sistah outbut...
for some reason
COX ((yeah...I said cox...heehee))
keeps kicking my ass off the line
so....finally after 3 VERY painful days
of withdrawals, frustration, elation, disappointment, pleading, & bargaining like an addict
I'm up & streaming at 127mps....

Anywho...Last nite....
the neighborhood gals
me being the only single...
decided to reward ourselves
w/ a girls nite out....
to a local 'womens club'......
not that penis isnt allowed
it is just normally attached to a drag queen, trannie
or ridiculously beautiful gay man....
yeah.....so unfair!....
Back to the eve's activities.....

Bloggies?....
I am here to say.......
married women with children?
VERY dangerous to go clubbing to the lesbian clubs w/....
I made the mistake of not wearing a bra.....
& wore a little white babydoll t-shirt
w/a black kitty on it who is wearing a diamond collar......
oh...did I mention the black lights?..........
can we say "pet the glowing kitty"?
YUP....seemed to be the theme of the evening.....HA!
I am sure U can see where this is all going?....
combine: drinks, crazy ass neighbors,
apparently interactive t-shirt & pumpin music...
Put this mix into a highly sexually charged environment FILLED with beautiful women ......
& well....I will just let your mind run wild......
done?.......
NO?......
Okay....I can wait.....
right then........
enough mental masturbation people!......
but yeah.....
you're on track....U got the right idea.....
that is what happened!! LOL

anywho.....
heres a little LUV quizzie...
to help get U geared-up for your own little day of MONKEYLUV'in on Wednesday....
& as usual.......
Please put your score in the comments!!....
cause
sharing is caring!

Your lover is the first person U think about when U first wake up
& the last person U think about when U got to sleep:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

When u think about your lover ~even when U’ve had an argument~ it is usually positive

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

When your lover expresses interest in an activity, subject or object, you make an effort to share the experience w/ them:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

You have introduced your lover to your family & close friends:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

If there is a conflict of personalities between your lover & your family or close friends, you defend your lover & demand they show him/her respect:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

You deserve as much pleasure from your lover’s company just vegging out on a lazy afternoon as you do going out to the hottest hot spot:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

When you need advice, criticism, or just a friendly ear, your lover is the first person you go to:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

You are definitely sexually attracted to your lover and melt when he/she touches you:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

You are honest with your lover about your life goals, values, beliefs, and feelings:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

When you are truly honest w/ yourself about your relationship w/ your lover, you realize that this is someone who is not just good for now but good for always:

strongly agree
agree
disagree
strongly disagree

Tally Points:
For every
“Strongly agree” ~~ 4 points
“Agree” ~~ 3 points
“Disagree” ~~ 2 points
“Strongly disagree” ~~ 1 point

32 -40 points
That’s AMORE! When your relationship is honest , committed, & caring, U definitely are in the right kind of love. U’ve made an effort to make your lover part of your life & share your lover’s life with them. Way to GO!

24-31: Only Time Will Tell. For the most part, you & your lover seem pretty compatible & things are going well. Play it by ear & keep an eye out on the areas where you answered “disagree” and “strongly disagree”.

16-23: Sink or Swim. This is really where U need to take it into consideration the length of time U’ve been together. If this is a relatively new relationship, then it may just be a matter of time b4 all your “disagrees” become “agrees”. If U’ve been in a relationship for years & there’s no sexual, mental, or emotional chemistry, U need to do both U a favor and move on.

0 -16: Do NOT Resuscitate. If U don’t respect your lover enough to take them into consideration, make them a part of your life, & share their live w/ them, U are w/ the wrong person. Sting may have said, “If U love somebody, set them free” but what he should have said was, “If you DON”T love somebody, set them free”. It is not fair to either of U!.

~~13~~

13 things over-heard that could go either way........

She: Wow….U have a lot of Brown on today! Did U know that brown is the new black?
1st He: no….I didn’t know that……go ask *** I’m sure he does.
She to ***: hey…did U know Brown is the new Black?
2nd He: funny that U should say that….my friend & were talking about that recently..she’s always telling me that Brown is the new Black.
She: U don’t wear a lot of Brown….
2nd He: Oh…I have a lot of Brown…its just not appropriate for work….
:::::pause for mental reflection and visual among the group::::
She & 1st he....quickly glance at eachother…wondering if the other is mentally envisioning the same thoughts?
1st He: we don’t want to see your Brown.
*** it was at this point that 2nd He did respond…however…..everyone within earshot had just gone blind & even now …..no one remembers the response……


So….how was your jog?
I don’t jog…I run…..
Oh…sorry…….
Yeah…that would be like me saying to U (the accomplished competitive swimmer) “how was your doggy styling last nite”?

:::crickets chirping:::….much laughter…..

Um….yeah…I don’t mind that U said that…..but in the future ..not a good idea to say that to a gay man!
I meant to say ….how was your “doggy paddling”…


I can make it a quick and dirty with her…..U don’t have to be there…but if U’d like to be?


He’s the one in the group that likes to grab the worm early everyday


Where has your face been? U’ve got fuzzy’s all over.


I’m going to the break room….need anything? Pause…. “besides a good spanking” um….no….I got that last nite.


U don’t look so good today…R U not feeling well? Yeah…the rainbow within isn’t shining as bright as usual…..


He: Did U see?
She: Yeah…..already saw that!
He: He’s hot…
She: Yeah….nice ASS, but his pants are too short……
He: Oh…honey….we can change that.
She: But he’s married
He: Yeah…..I don’t do married.
She: Y not?
He: Cause married munches pussy.
She: What did U just say?
He: Oh yeah….I don’t want that mouth on me after lickin the kitty…..


On a conference call…
“can U back away from the phone….U’re a bit too close”
From other party on call (we were all thinking it...but no one actually says it!))
“yeah like the next room over?”


“FOCUS DrM!”
& quick as a whip back at ** “ I am focused…I am woman….I can multitask….”
Yeah….filter missing that day!!


Every-time he responds during a conversation in the manner that he does…..it taints the level of trust I have for him……
“um…yeah…U need to stop using the word ‘taint’”


“my uterus is NOT happy today”….Don’t mess with me!”

~~New Buddha's,Incense & Candles~~

This beautiful Buddha sits about 10 inches tall...& now resides in the TV room. I purchased verbenia and lime tealights for him to hold.

I think I've had this vase for at least 10 yrs. It stands about a foot & 1/2 tall & has surprisingly endured all the candles I have housed in it.

This new Buddha sits about 6 inches tall and resides with HHDL in the guest bath.
Yummy...Dessert Rain, Sandlewood & Nag Champa candles from the Candle & Gift Factory Outlet here in PHX. U can order from them on-line...but I warn U....very dangerous place to shop!!

& last....this little guy sits on a little perforated tray. The flavors of the little incense sticks which came with him are: white pepper spice, tamarind spice, passion fruit & lotus, & bamboo jasmine.. I like to light a candle & burn an incense each night as an acknowledgement of my blessings. Normally I do this outside the front door at the base of my big Buddha....but now I have an indoor reminder as well =)

How do U make your house a home? What things do U do that are your little rituals.....help U unwind at the end of the day?

~~whoooo...lives in a pineapple..under the sea?~~

Bella does not seem too happy here having to read subtitles......((or she thinks she a Japanese dog & looks insulted ....not sure))

so.........we turned it to SPONGE-BOB...SQUARE-PANTS.....He's lifesize on this TV!

I now have a whole new appreciation for the Cartoon Network "Boomer-Rang" station. LOL
