The Twins Want Sushi!.......by Diane Ogden

Okay so I know Easter is over.  I know all the folks that passed (died) got resurrected because Jesus did and the "rock and rolled" away supernaturally and whats her name saw him in the garden. See I know my history. And I know my Grands didn't get their GrandEaster gifts until today.  So what! Long as it happened I say.  And it happened let me say.  The twins arrived after their soccer game.  They pulled off their socks while telling me they hadn't washed their socks in two games.  eeew. The cat wouldn't even deal with them when they put their foot near her face.  Then onto Easter gifts.  Walgreen's collage thank you cards. (One twin said, " Sorry Nana but I thought it would be more awesome."  I reminded her of how she dislikes writing out thank you notes...and how  I saved her from said life requirement!    And the 75% off chocolate bunny and the skittles and bubble gum. Then came the hungry mode.. Then one year older sister got dropped off. Then the tear the house up mode.  Then the fighting mode. Then the I'm bored mode.  Then Disney channel mode.  God I hate Disney channel.  But I deal.  Then parents came and all piled back in the truck to leave.  Then phone rang.  Twins bummed.  Don't want to leave.  Are you tired Nana? "Now come on, am I going to say YES I AM TIRED DUH.  I am old...and my helpers mother died so I had to do double duty and will have to for another week, and and and.....SURE THEY CAN STAY."   And it begins again. Hungry mode to tear up the house mode, to fighting mode, to "Do you have any extra toothbrushes, cause we haven't brushed since day before yesterday."   I then showed them how to use paper towels for toothbrushes.  They actually told me it worked!  Ya I know. So does corn cobs in outhouses or sears catalog wipes.  Forgot to tell you we did the storeroom run for the queen size blow up mattress.  Discovered it was in apt in closet.  Oh, and they told me how one of them kissed a boy on the lips!  Jeez.....and oh, don't tell mom or dad.  Ten years old.  No problem, Grandma's don't tell.  What can a little kiss at ten hurt.  S H U T U P!  Don't wanna go there. 

Some day they wont want to come here because of those kisses....so I will take my time gratefully just like my Grannie did.  She was my bud. Never told on me. I miss her even tho she did smell like cheese.  LOL  Hey she made butter from milk back in the old days... so I think that was the cause of the smell.  I don't care what caused it, I loved her and every now and then when I smell that cheesy smell I know she is near.  Hey it ain't a tuna smell so take that to the grave thank god! This is when they crawl outta bed and say, "Nana, will you drive us to a sushi bar, there should be one close by right?" OMG! Til next time when I know I know I owe you Lifepath ONE..  Be well, Be safe, and Be Happy, and oh yeah, get Rich. 

Elvis is Possessed! .....by Diane Ogden

I have a client.  No not Elvis and no I am not nutz.  I have a client who owns this possessed bust of Elvis.  It sits at the bottom of the stairs in a cove and everytime  scamper down those steps and turn the corner and pass it.... I FREAK internally.  Seriously.  Scroll on down and see for thyself!

I heard from the owners it isn't just freaking us out, but most everyone who "encounters" the possessed bust!

It scares the beegeebeeze out of me.  And not just me but my helpers also.  Sooo, today I decided to take pictures of possessed Elvis because I knew you and no one else would believe me.  Especially considering I believe I am Steven Tylers twin sister from a previous life.  Hey, it's true. Given these intelligent statements notice that each photo I took appears different. Yup, told ya.

Lifepath 2.... Numerology by Diane Ogden

First of all that is my dog! She hates conflict too. And the handsome man is my son who has a Lifepath 2.  To find out your lifepath number and the energies you carry with you all your life... add the month, day, and year you were born.                   

September 21, 1978        9 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 9 = 11 = 2                        

God gave you the day you were born!  Well, unless some doctor decided to induce you early for whatever I hope Godly reason.  And your parents gave you your name so you can blame them if you've had a hell of a life.  Actually all you have to do is change your name.  Or change one letter of it! 
If you are married to a 2 lifepath just know that person needs to know they are loved.  They are mediators. They do not like conflict and are sensitive!
The following information is learned from Glynis Has Your Number book than can be ordered online at her website with the same name.  She is amazing at explaining numerology in a very understanding
and fun manner. 

Lifepath 2 Vibration:
The Mediator
This person is someone who is seeking harmony in life.  They do not want conflict.  Music has an especially soothing effect on them.  They are easy going.  They look for love.  If you want someone who is affectionate, you should seek a 2 lifepath number because they do like hugs and kisses.  Unless all their other numbers are moving them away from it, it's their natural way.
They are mediators and dislike conflict and will do whatever it takes to avoid it. If there are two people in their lives are fighting, they'll try to fix it.  2's tend to be psychic.  They have dreams that tend to come true.  They also experience deja vu.  It's never a problem for them to follow; they don't have to be a leader. Because of their natural psychic ability, they tend to be good at astrology, Numerology, tarot reading, tea leaf reading, the I Ching.  They also are good at counseling and social work.  They have tremendous compassion for people, and 2's don't like to be alone.  They crave unconditional love, and make great parents, who tend to be friends to their children.
2's don't need the spotlight. They'll do the job.  As a matter of fact, they are the type of number that would donate to a charity in secret.  They would just do it out of the kindness of their heart. 2's need to bring people together and they're the one's to see when looking for anything from a dentist to a carpenter.  They know everyone and love to help them out.  The only time a 2 gets angry is if they feel pushed or threatened.  Otherwise they are easy going.  If you look in their eyes, you can just see what good people they are.  That's just where they come from.  The flip side of a 2 is that very so often you might meet a 2 who feels they do everything for everybody and they feel drained.  Yet if you know them personally, you may feel they are giving themselves too much credit.
So simply, if you look at a number (and I tend to go towards the positive of who they are), there are two sides -- the positive and the negative.  I still think it's important, when it comes to a 2, to keep in mind that they are here to love others and to be loved in return.  If you work with them, they will definitely come through for you.  2's have to be careful not to take on the problems of the people they  love.  My (Glynis McCants) analogy for the 2 is that if they saw someone in a well, and the person said, "Help me," the 2 would jump in and ask, "What's wrong?" only to look up and say, "Oh God now we're both in here."
So it's important for the 2 to have passionate empathy but to stand back and say, "Okay I'm sorry that happened, but it's your problem.  I'll help as best I can but I'm not going to get in it with you." 2's have to be careful not to place themselves at another's disposal because eventually they will get angry and resentful.  2's often worry what others think of them.  Of course, you have to stop and say, "What people think of me is none of my business." 2's have to let these criticisms be like water off a duck's back.  It's important that the 2 keeps  peace, but not at the cost of their sanity.
When a situation gets too extreme -- and the 2 is surrounded by emotional vampires, who are taking all their energy - It's OK to just walk away.  Otherwise, what you don't deal with mentally will eventually attack you physically, and that's why 2's can wind up with physical problems.
2 vibrations, although they do tend to be peacemakers and seek harmony, when they feel threatened or pushed to the wall and get upset, it is like a volcano erupting.

Crafting with Cat Hair???....Seriously? by Diane Ogden

This came out of the lint catcher of my dryer TODAY after putting my special comfie blankie I like to sleep covered with every night in dryer per Oprah's instructions, for 40 minutes on high to kill all buggers. No not boogers, bugs! People bugs called mites. But when I looked at that double glob of white cat hair staring back at me I decided it was time to GOOGLE this issue.  You wouldn't believe what I found..... Yup, "Crafting With Cat Hair!"  Not me! Nope! No way! But in case you might be interested?   Story by julieincharge

Yes this woman actually wrote a book on this craft.

That's it!  I 'm writing a book.  If this book sells I can write a book on how to clean the litter box and make cash flow.  Actually I have some better happier ideas.  But until I do, you Be Happy, Be Well, Be Safe, and by God and whom-ever, Get Rich!!  

A Dog's Purpose? (from a 6-year-old).

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa , and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of can...cer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.'' Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live. He said,''People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?'' The Six-year-old continued, ''Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'' Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like: When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy. Take naps. Stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently. There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING... Have a great lifeSee More

Friday the 13th!........by Diane Ogden

I do not believe this day is bad luck!  Because it adds up to 4!!    Four isn't bad luck at all.   It's all in your head!!
Until today that is.   Today was Friday the 13th minus Chuckie.   And it started at one o'clock this morning and it tried to kill me all day.  I only have a few hours left to attempt to survive what must be Chuckie's brothers day.  I awoke at 3 a.m. from a very vivid nightmare.  The authorities had come for me to take me away.  I hoped it wasn't jail, but that is what I thought when I came back to life.  Then I laid there for a long time, went back to sleep, woke up at 4:30 a.m. from another bad dream.  What did I eat?  (cake)
My son picked me up at 7:30 a.m. to go pick up my daughters stalled car at the grocer store so I could bring it back home. While I am waiting in entrance area a man walking his dog allowed said dog to jump up on my clean black pants. When I got to grocer store lot, I had to go thru a ritual to get it started because GM sucks on 2001 Impala's ignition passlock passkey security issue.  The little computer inside it is confused.  So I had to:
- open door and leave it open
- put key in wait for chime
- count to 3
- turn key to on wait 5 seconds
- turn key to acc wait for security lites on dash to stop and chime to stop
- turn key all the way
Car should start every time.
It's been sitting there for two days.  I asked an acquaintance if she would ride with me to go get it and drive my car back.  We are talking 3 miles.  She text's me saying, "Don't you have any friends or family that can help you?  What about your daughter? (Duh her car is at grocer store park lot not starting)  I am swamped." 
Was I offended.  Oh Yeah.  You see last year when she lost her job and her man, I along with many others took care of her until she got her feet back on solid ground.  Guess she forgot huh?  Or maybe its just the Friday the 13th Chuckie chit thing going on. Not that I expect tit for tat.  Nope. 
Oh I forgot, I put an order in at Walgreens for some photos I found online to be printed.  My Granddaughter loves to make things out of cool photos.  So I got some Barbie and Cars and Winnie the Poo.  Walgreens calls me and says they made a judgement call that I was illegally ordering Disney photos.  OMG!!  SHUT UP, like I going to sell them not!  Although I understood I was somewhat upset.  You see Edwardo always prints me some pics for the young Granddaughters to do crafts with.  But not Paul, nope Paul made a judgement call. Paul being of youth and obviously by the book. Maybe that is why I had the nightmare the authorities had come to pic me up and take me away.  Betcha.  Stealing Disney pics m'bad.
Then to the first clients home.... after I dropped off my library books that were due today.
On my way Mother called to tell me the usual.  "Your Father is sooo annoying and we need more money."   She must forget she tells me this every day.  It is such good news dontchaknow? She has enough money for a new Buick, new barn windows, and new grainery windows. I should have so much $.
Then to next client where the new PUPPY that weighs 85 pounds and is a Newfoundland just wont keep his large nose out of my buttocks area.  Jeez its like he thinks its his home because he keeps coming back and nosing on in.  Come to think of it, he's a she!  Sshheesshh. 
Called tax service to see how to do an extension.
Got home to wet carpet from being shampooed earlier in the day, and trapped animals in bedroom.
Boy were they happy to be freed.
And I missed my soap at second clients house because they all came home for lunch.  Have to catch it tonight. I don't have enough drama in my life, I need a soap to top it off like the cherry on top of the sundae.  
Not to mention there was a full moon this week and I saw people I am sure will venture back under the rock they came out from.  I swear there were Wal Mart people everywhere this week.   So what 's the good news?  The old Buick mother with no money gave me is still running and the Impala started and is back home.  The carpet is clean. The extension is completed.  And I plan to sleep tonight no matter what.  If there's an earthquake I will simply take my pillow and blankie outside.
Until next time Be Well, Be Safe, Be Happy, and by crackie Get Rich.  We're not a third world country just yet.  The only thing missing is the flasher I have been waiting for.  No luck there either.
