BOARS HEAD
(My Third year)

Well as Ive mentioned before I am list mistress this year for the Rapier Field. This means I need to be there prior to 9am. which means we need to be out of the house by 7:30 NO LATER.

Amazingly, we accomplished this goal but sadly the weather didn't want us to. This weekend was one of our first Hard Core blizzard storms. But we trucked onwards. Cars left and right were in the ditch, one of the HWY's we were on were totally closed off due to two semi trucks that jack-knifed, Plus there was at least one car rolled over on top its roof AND we saw a oil or chemical spill on the roads too.

Needless to say we were late but safe. The tournament was to start at 10am and end at 1pm... I think we started about 11am and still ended on time. I was a great turn out for the weather. 14 for England and 14 for Scotland... and when it was done England Prevailed!

It was overwhelming how many people I got to see and at least speak to or hug. I was on quite a "friend" high all day long... I LOVED IT

I didn't really use my camera so Im going to post photos that were taken by my friends (thank you)

Hello Beautiful

How times have changed and how things that once were OK are not and no longer carry the same feeling or intent.  When you think of the word “woman” and do you automatically think bitch or hussy, baggage or bit? According to various traditional dictionaries, synonyms for “woman”, which came as a bit of a shock, and possibly more insightful on why certain generations use words such as these to describe a woman. Today at my place of work a gentleman came up to my counter and said "Hello Beautiful" to me. Now, this customer does come in several times a week and is not a total stranger when I'm at work but still. He is in his 50-60s he works either in construction or as a big rig driver, not that any of this is very relevant but it is a generational thing I have noticed amongst folks that speak like that. "'Hello, gorgeous'; 'hi, honey bun or sweetheart, can you get me a coffee?' No man would ever be called sweetheart, ever, in the workplace," T...

Rock, Paper, Control

The feeling of no control. No control over my mental health, my weight, or my physical health. I like to have things planned and organized because that give me some control in my life. I feel though, like those little things are just pieces of paper with a rock on them on a windy day, soon they to will be out of my control. I once had control over my health and weight, but that was nearly 14 yrs ago. Each year I advance in age I loose more and more control over those two things. No Dr. or specialist seem to know why. Back when I had control, my weight would fluctuate but nothing substantial. I was a ball of anxiety and stress back then as well, so nothing there changed. I was more active in those days, doing all the things all the time. Not sure if that was to hide from my brain weasels or having to go home and be around my mother. In college I had around 4 to 5 part time jobs, 16 to 18 credits a semester, homework for both art and academic classes, a significant other, a flourishing g...
