Yes, I've been addicted to Facebook ;o(



How do I begin?
firsts of all, I'll take baby steps and see where they lead me!
***
I cannot believe that it has been since January!!! that I last posted here! I know, I know, stick my face into "facebook" and I seem to disappear from view for hours upon hours! I'm famous for friending and unfriending at a whim ... not really a whim, but whenever it seems that if a 'friend' isn't interested in communicating, then what's the point, eh?
I have thought about some of my wonderful 'old' blog friends from days of yore! I am thrilled that Dancin' Fool is one of my fb friends also! I can keep track of her a little that way, except I was thrilled to see some of her older blog posts just now! I have some catching up to do.
This photo shows me on my wonderful kitchen lineoleum ... which came from a "staycation" quite a few years ago when we had time off but nowhere to go, or so it seemed. So with money I would've vacationed somewhere with, I chose to re-do the kitchen floor and buy an awesome "art" table and chairs for our little kitchen to spruce it up a bit and make it more "my own" ... it having been my mother's for many, many years.
The name of this lineoleum was Twinkle Rosaborealis or something like that ... the ad suggested it'd be great in a child's bathroom! Huh??? No way! It's spread all over the kitchen in all its glory and it makes dancing in the kitchen so much more fun!
let's see if I can find the table now.....
?hmmmmmmm????
***
it's a little covered up with placemats but it's a "Color Study" by Kandinsky ... when I realized who Kandinsky was and his artwork, I was quite surprised I fell in love with it so much. I wanted "Sleeping June" or whatever that painting was of the beautiful young girl sleeping with her orange dress flowing all over in a heap ... then I realized I didn't want my husband eating off her skirt! tee hee! The "fat-butt" black chairs don't show here much either, but they are great and have served us well. The table also has a special chrome insert to make it a "pub table" so we can think we are tipping our steins somewhere classy now and then! usually we're too lazy to change them around and haul in the "pub chairs" ... But ... all this is pretty common drivel I type but I just wanted to make sure that I could still have a go at it!
***
The end of April I finally broke down and bought a digital camera. I have been having great fun on it and posting stuff on our NEW computer also ... yes, usually on facebook! I just realized, with great relish, that my blog would be a wonderful place to share my photos, just as I always have loved to do!!!
***
I always have been eating vegetarian for over a year now ... and have felt pretty good about that. I have wanted to make more of a change to vegan and it's amazing to realize how MUCH that can involve! Like, I never knew!!! that 35 mm film is made from gelatin, which is made from animal bones! Yikes! And I have loved my Canon T50 for so long! or that match heads have gelatin on them somehow??
I'm willing to give up honey, cheese--one of these days, ice cream--any time now!, and on and on. Sad to say, that "new" car we bought last year is complete with all leather interior, which at the time seemed "luxe" but now it just seems like I am sad to be sitting on the hide of a dead cow (I can only hope it isn't any other poor dead animal!) ... we were sort of in a rush to get another vehicle since my 17yr old T-Bird had rotted away from the frame ;o( ... I cried as they drove her off, donated her to the Vietnam Vets of Michigan...wasn't even able to get the tax deduction of $1,600 we were given receipt for...tax laws had changed ... grrrrrr, crap, damn, frick! But, hopefully it went to a good cause and someone somewhere is riding to a decent job in my beautiful old T-Bird, moonlight blue with mocha cloth!!! interior.....I will remember that cloth interior NEXT time I'm in the market for a vehicle!
***
It's way past the middle of August now and we haven't been anywhere this summer. Maybe in our dreams we have, and we did have a 5-day "staycation" again ... sometimes it's just easier to stay home than to fight the road construction everywhere and the traffic ... and we'd miss our Tuffy Boy!
***
(Tuffy Boy is awesome!)
We have had Tuf now for nearly 6 years. He showed up on our Mandy Girl's grave when I was weeding flowers ... a few weeks after my cousin, brother and dog had died, here is this beautiful orange tabby cat flopping down at my feet crying and reowing for mercy and it was something I was not ready for...at all! I tried to discourage him from staying ... I didn't want to deal with loving and losing another pet ... but the Universe had another plan ... and ...I BETTER STOP!!! I nearly lost this post with some techno glitch ... and found it hidden somewhere!
SO!!!!! I will leave you with a promise that I shall return much more regularly ... and try my best not to be so very mundane as I have just now! It was my practice trial run of getting back into the game, the blogger game! I have missed you and am excited to share again ... Thanks again if anyone has waded through ... You are sent highest and best blessings from your
SisSTAR Kylita!!!!
Yay!!!!

I love your beautiful chair in your kitchen and your painted toenails.

Hey Honey! We are back in the Blogosphere!!! Yeah!!! You have beautiful feet by the way!

So, where to start! I deleted my Facebook games last night and vowed to post on my blog every time I want to sit down and play at my PC. I get so little out of Facebook and so much out of blogging, it brought me to you!

What a great post you have written. I did not know you had gone veggie. How is the vegan thing coming? I have tried it several times but it is very hard and I miss cheese! I have been veggie for 14 years now. One thing I did find with the vegan diet was how clean I felt inside...its hard to describe to people but my mouth and body felt cleaner somehow, have you felt anything like that?

I did the vegan pledge on the http://www.vegansociety.com/veganpledge.aspx site and they sent me loads of great supporting information to help.

Well it won't be long until I need to post off your Christmas card, can you believe it!!! We have a treat booked for Christmas and I cannot wait, we have rented a cottage out in Scotland for a week so it will be me, Bru and the pups in a cottage in the middle of nowhere, hopefully in the snow, I am so excited!!!!

Our Wales holiday was cut a little short as Roxy pup was not well. We went camping in April this year and she was fine but when we got there this time the outdoor living seemed to really affect her and she got really stiff. You know German Shepherds are known for their dodgy back legs anyway, well it got really bad so after 2 days we came home. We did have a great holiday though and she is much better for being home.

So holidays from now on will be in cottages so she gets the comforts she needs, couch to lie on and open fire to warm herself by!

Anyway (you see this is what I deserve for not visiting you more often, I have so much to say!) I will go for now in case there is a comment limit size on blogger!

Love you loads Honey! Have the most fantastic day and I hope the sun shines for you all! (Pats to Tuffy!) xxx

Soooo sorry to you both Rhi and Dancin' that I didn't even SEE these comments until 11/5/12!!! I keep saying I'm gonna be on here more and then get sucked into facebook land. I did make a few real nice friends on there, one who actually lives in my own city now ... and that has been awesome. I am grateful to you both for your years of encouragement and support! Thanks so much! I hope you'll see that I've finally found your words and how much they mean to me...both of you! You both live so far away from me but I will always think of you as kindred spirits who I never want to lose touch with!!! Stay tuned for a blogpost in the near future! I promise! Love 2 You ... and Dancin', I am glad to hear Roxy is doing lots better ... and your cottage in Scotland holiday sounds awesome! I can only imagine!!! I have a large photo or painting (can't tell which!) that is beautiful and has IRELAND, County Galway, Kylemore Abbey at the bottom ... I will hope to post that soon ... about as close I can get to a vacation is to gaze upon beautiful photos ... my own, those I choose to keep and those of others! And BTW...Rhiannon is a wonderful artist and I yearn to see more of your artwork, Rhi!!! Thanks again, you dear people!
