Thinking Positive!!!

About two weeks ago, I was flipping thru the channels on TV and came across and episode of Oprah. I don't usually watch her show, as I can't usually get that channel at this location. But the forces of nature were at work that day, in my favor, as it turns out. These ladies were discussing "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, and how thinking positive attracts positive things into your life. And this was all kinda funny, because as I stated we don't usually get that channel, and just as I found this show, my daughter calls me out of the blue and ask me if I am watching this show. (More evidence of the cosmic forces at work) So I tell her that I am and how I just found. So we both watch a little while and chat a little while. The next day on the way to work, I stopped and bought the book and the latest issue of Oprah magazine. This is the first issue of this magazine that I have ever even looked at, and I gotta say this is a really cool magazine. I like the look of it and the contents. Its not the usual or run of the mill jargon, but some very interesting information and large variety of issues. And while I don't usually subscribe to magazines, basically because I hate all that extra mail that comes encouraging you to subscribe more or to other magazines, I am considering a subscription to this magazine.

Now, I have not finished the book yet, but already I highly recommend it. It has already been a great influence in changing the way I think. Frankly, I didn't even realize how negative I am, and how easily being negative comes to me. But when you are trying to think positive and feel postive, you do realize. It is difficult to change that mind frame too. It takes a lot of stopping your thoughts and analyzing how you are feeling. And I never really understood why you should meditate before, but now I do. You need to stop and clear your head, because sometimes the negative can build up to phenomial proportions. It does go away either, you have to shove it away and replace it with the opposite, more positive aspect, or it stays and grows.

The magazine I purchased was for an article it had about making list. Now I like making list really, I weird that way. If I'm going on a trip, I make a packing list. If I am going to shopping, I make shopping list. If I don't, I over spend and spend needlessly, not that everything I buy I need, but it could be worse. So this list thing was intriguing. I talked about a lady who went to see a pyschic and she told her that the Universe wanted her to be happy, she just needed to decide on what she wanted. Then the pyschic told her to go home and a list of 100 qualities she wanted in a man. (The lady was lonely and wanted to know if she was going to be alone for the rest of her life.) By the way, 100 qualities is a lot. I have been working on my list now for two weeks. I up to about 50. I really wonder what she had on hers, just a peek maybe. Anyway, about three months after she made this list, she met a man. He was about 98% of her list, and they eventually got married, and are very happy together. But this list writing doesn't just apply to relationships, it can apply to anything. Me, personnally, I would like a new relationship that was way better than this one, but even more I would like a new home of my own. So another list I am working on is everything I want in my new house. I really love the place that is in my mind, I just have to concentrate and focus on being more positive and lot less negative!! Wish me luck!!

Bright Blessings to everyone!!!!

HAVE A HAPPY AND BLESSED IMBOLC!!

Happy Imbolc to all my sisters and brothers!!

Remember to light some candles and say a prayer to Brighid for a fruitful and abundant growing season!!!

This weekend I will be doing some crocheting and working on a pattern that I think I have designed in my mind. I hope to add it to this site and few of my other haunts.

To the mortals who see this, Happy Groundhog day!!

Bright blessings to all!!!

Politics is in the Air, or is that the paper mill?!

So now we have the delightful process of deciding who will be the next president. For several months now we have had commercial after commercial, advertising billboards, street signs, e-mails, and other crap swearing from one candidate or another that they will make the greatest differences to this country crammed down our throats. It has been slapped in our faces, interuppted our usually scheduled programming, and taken up most of our local newspapers.

You are all stupid, fat-headed, egotistical liars!!!!! And none of you are saying anything about how you plan to do these great deeds. Positive proof that you are liars. You claim that you will raise educational standards; claim that you will fix the health care problems, you claim a lot of crap. The really funny thing is, and it's not really one damn bit funny, but you couldn't do one damn thing in the politcal positions that you already hold, and yes I mean you Senators and House Representatives and former Presidents wives, but we are suppose to believe that you will do something as president.

Hillary Clinton in particular is a joke. She claims that she should be the first woman president. Has this been medically proven? If we are going to have a woman president, I want a real woman. One that doesn't take the bullshit that Bill put her thru, which I for one still remember even if the rest of the world has forgotten. If she had stepped up, and said no woman should have to take this treatment, divorced him, sued him for everything, now that is the woman that would get my vote. In fact, I would probably be standing outside in these freezing temperatures somewhere passing out fliers for her. But no, not her, she couldn't stand up to one man, we are suppose to believe that she will stand up for a whole country. We are suppose to believe that she would stand up against the real powers that be, and make the positive changes that are needed. No, I don't believe that for one minute, and anyone who does is a damn fool!!!!!

Speaking of changes, do these idiots even realize the changes that are really needed. I don't know about you, but I am damn tired of 1/3 of my paycheck going to government that is has only ever done one thing where I am concerned and that is take my money!!! Where are the voices saying that they are going to give me my money that I go to work for everyday, that I sit in traffic in this stupid city, Charleston, SC, twice a day to get to work and back home again. And I don't mean that slite of hand trick, well here, we will give you a bigger income tax return check at the end of the year. That is nothing better that one of those street side scams that are suppose to be against the law!!! I want more money put back in my weekly check!!! I want my grocery bill lowered, not raised, and not lowered at the cost of the hard working farmer. I want my gas prices to go down to something that resembles resonable so that if I want to take short road trip to visit my family, I can with out having to take out some kind of loan to get it done!!! Oh man, do I hate you people!!! There is just no damn reason to make life this damn hard for the common working man. I hate you and I curse to the lowest level of hell!! May you feel exactly what it is like for all eternity!!

Do I want the educational standards around here raised? Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. But the only way you are going to accomplish this little feet, is if you fix the economy enough to where the working parents can still afford to be PARENTS!! It is, and has been the government that has been taking that away from the people, not the people!!! Do you know that about the only time a parent can afford to buy their own child a book is at the holidays, and not really even then? Did you know that? NO, because you don't have a clue. As politicians the only thing you know about money, is how to suck it up and blow it. The millions of dollars that you people are spewing out on stupid stuff, advertising, luncheons, signs, plane trips, etc. You have no idea what it is like to have to put off one thing that needs paying so you can afford to get the most desperate thing. You have no idea what it is like to have only $10 dollars for food that has to last you the whole week. YOU JUST HAVE NO IDEA!! And I for one, hate you for it. And you stand up in public in your suits that would pay my bills for about two months, lying and telling people that you understand, and that you will make a change. You won't do shit, and it is about time that the rest of us, wise up and realize it.

Voting does no good. The people don't really have a say, because the elections are rigged!!! The President has already been chosen by the powers that be, the rest of this crap is just a show. The rich people have been paying for that decision already. Don't tell me, how the people get to decide, the only PEOPLE that count are the rich ones in power and close to the top. It's really pointless to even care, because the next idiot has already been chosen, the next messes will be made, and the little people with not much left, will pay what they have for that mess. Because eventually, the little people will all be homeless, and without jobs, begging for scraps and hoping that someone working for the IRS will drop some money out to us, since they are the only ones that will have access to any money.

May you politcians feel the pain that you have caused for all eternity!! May you burn in hell.

Blessed to be to rest us!!!

Maybe we will really be allowed to live on the otherside, of course that's only if you have paid your tides in this one. So much for that thought!!

New Crocheted Projects!!!

Look what I made:

These are water bottle coaches. They are crocheted with worsted weight cotton and you put your cold or frozen water bottle in them to take on walks or when going to the gym, or whatever!! I made one for my daughter Mary and one for my mom, Fran. The one in the middle was a prototype, aka, mine now!!

The bright pink one is Mary's.

And the purple one is Fran's:

Fran's birthday is the day after mine, which means that it is today and I also crocheted here a purple afghan.

Yesterday was mine birthday. I became 39 years old. Forty is banging on my door. I use to hope that I would be dead by 40. No, I can't say that that has changed. I talk more on this later.

Hugs to everyone!!

Bright blessings to all!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ***2008***

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

AND MAY THIS NEW YEAR BRING YOU LOVE, PEACE, HAPPINESS AND PROPERITY!!!

****2008 IS GONNA BE GREAT***

HUGS AND KISSES TO ALL,

CHRISTINA HARPER

Thank Heavens it's over!!!

So, I'm thinking that it is time for a good long nap.

Christmas is over, now we have New Years Eve in a week and then the very next week is my birthday, ugh!! I use to consider myself rather important because my birthday falls in this holiday succession, now I know I'm just a contributor to the mayhem. No hate mail, please!!

As for Christmas, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The one major problem that I have with Alex's family is that they are very dry. They don't laugh, they don't joke, they don't even seem to want to have fun. At Thanksgiving in North Carolina, we laughed a lot and that memory is very fond one for me now. This Christmas will just pass by, most likely forgotten by next week. I really wish they would change a bit. I know I have no right to think that, but this Christmas was really no different then the one they had last year. I suppose I should think about it economically. When asked what their Christmas was like, they don't have to remember a specific Christmas because they are just all the same.

While I know that Christmas is over, I still feel like I have things to do. I have been making gifts for the past two months. Every weekend crocheting something to be a gift for someone. Then suddenly there is nothing that HAS to be done. I'm lost. Can't seem to get the stress to wind down. And I am thinking about my Birthday too. Birthday's stopped being easy for me when I turn 30. This January the 8th, I will be 39. Forty is banging very loudly at my door. Honestly, I always hoped I'd be dead by forty. Lately, I've come to reconsider that notion, and am now considering 50 to be just too damn old. Got to be gone by then, rrrrr, maybe sixty, but definitely by sixty!!

I hope you all have a very Happy and Blessed New Year!!!

Blessed Be!!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Well it is Christmas time again!!!


I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I ate really good food, laughed and talked with family. I did not get to meet my niece though. I had hopes of doing this, but my brother, the police officer was working the whole time. So I am a little upset about that. But I did get to visit with Fran and Mary. It's taken me this long to get thru with withdraw. I got a lot of crocheting done also. I have now finished Tammy's, Sierra's, and Hannah's hat, scarf and mitten set. I made Rex's afgan and another afgan for Adam. I made the two afgans that weekend. They look really good too. I think I might make myself one after Christmas. Now I have to finish Sara's set and something for Naomi, and I will be done with Alex's family, YeaHHHHHHH!!

Lately I have been looking for doll patterns to crochet. I want to make my own designs for characters from some of my favorite books. I really want to do a Harry Potter doll. I have seen patterns for him, but none of them have green eyes. I do not understand how these people can say that they just love Harry Potter, then design a doll that doesn't even have green eyes. Read the books people!!! It is not Harry, if he doesn't have green eyes. I did find a really cute pattern for a snitch. Now that designer has talent. It has wings and everything. I can't wait to make it. It will make a great gift for Mary!!!

Now I have to shop for Mary and Fran. I have to do that next week, because I have already spent this weeks check on bills. I know what Fran wants, but I am playing the devil finding it. Mary, I don't have clue. But I am playing with a few Ideas!!

The traffic here in Charleston is just getting Stupider this time of year!!! Idiots, idiots everywhere, oh my!! Stopping in the middle of the road to talk to the car next to them, or just to look at a car going the other way. Inconsiderate stupid people!!! Yesterday, some cow with fake red hair and a lot tattoos, cuts me off going into a restaurant. I am on my lunch break, just wanted to order one little sandwich, I mean, I don't have a lot of money, so I just wanted one little sandwich. The cow, cuts in front of me, places an order for about 10 people. I just left. Stupid inconsiderate people!!! I really don't know when these idiots are going to learn, but I hope the selfish cow choked on her sandwiches!!! This town is just so stupid. The people are selfish and inconsiderate. I mean these people that stop in the middle of the road, they don't not take the people sitting behind into any consideration. Those people just want to go home, or to where ever they may be heading, but oh-no, the idiot has to stop in the road for nothing. If anyone out there is considering moving to Charleston, South Carolina, save yourself the trouble and move to someplace less stupid. Maybe Iraq.

Happy Yule Tidings to you and yours!!!!!
