:D how are you all doing on this fine summer day?? fab i hope! ;) just took the mustang into the mechanic.. *crosses fingers* i hope it doesn't cost a fortune! i forgot how fun it is to drive that beast. lol! i hope it is in my financial grasp to fix it. :) i have a great feeling it will be. i am in such a great mood today! i am sooo connected to animals it's kinda creepy.. kinda like this:

it's true. i groomed 2 dogs. one terrier mix who already loves me. and then a chow who.. well... is a chow! lol! he is one of the -no strike that one the best chow i've ever groomed. he is very well behaved. but he is still a animal who demands respect. however, today he was lil butter ball! i bent over to tell him he was all done. i went to rub his chest, so i was looking him in the eyes, and he went to town licking my face!! it was sooo cute! i laughed and he did more. it was so cute! and then while i was walking home from the mechanic i saw a squirrel on the grass right by where i was gonna walk. i slowed down and he looked at me. then he scampered up a tree and stopped. he stared. but didn't move. i was really close to him. and he didn't care! lol! i bet he would've let me pet him if i wanted. i could see his lil nut brain thinking "i wonder if she has any food." lol   

so i hit up michael's. :D i got some halloween goodies already. lol! i am so ready for fall! i found a tin sign that says spooky trails to you. i so had to get it cause happy trails to you was one of my grandma's things. it is on her tombstone. so it was perfect. a little bit of her, a little bit of me. :) they also had a cute tree sign that has a hook on it. i think it will be a perfect home for my keys. now i think i may just go to the book store and see what kind of trouble i can get into. ;) i won't be tooo bad. promises. :D i am falling back into my poe love. i mean i never really fell out.. just got distracted. but i want more info on him. and some more of his lesser known poem/tales. i've been listening to my cds over and over while i groom. i swear, i've almost got the raven down! lol! i'm thinking it shall be a new goal of mine to read all of his works. shouldn't be to hard. *thank the gods he didn't write novels!*  i also am feeling super creative. i need to write. i know it. it is welling up in me. it's about to spill over.

one last thing before i rush out the door into the sweltering heat of a southern california summer.. do you guys think we can cause karma??? sssshhhhh! don't blurt out a yes until i explain what i mean! slloooww down! lol!! i was pondering today weather or not we can cause a karma-like effect in our lives. that our guilt for some of our lesser shinning moments can cause us to *accept* that we deserve whatever poo gets flung on us. for instance: my dear friend has hit a speed bump in her life... well i wouldn't call it a speed bump... more like a giant hill that came out of nowhere!! it seems to have skipped right over raining to a hurricane force storm of sh*tty luck. every thing's going wrong. except some really great things are going right that are helping keep her, somewhat, sane at this time.  she keeps saying it's karma. that she deserves it all. ok, eeorye, sllooww down. what if it's not quite that simple!? here's a short description of what she *did* that, she thinks, is the reason for this karmic bitch slap...in the brackets i will place the truth. what is real that she doesn't see.  *she broke up with her {extremely mentally abusive, controlling, psycho} boyfriend. who had a little boy. who she thinks she let down. {not to sound cold. but not her son. she shouldn't suffer for him! besides, the dad's really good to him. not abusive at all} then she turned around and decided to date a dude who works with her. {he is the first boy who she has ever had the hots for who felt the same way.} bad part. her manager who is her friend was interested in him too. {she is something like 8 years older than him and is a self proclaimed man eater. not the best person to let date a dude who you like!} so she dated him behind her back and oh-but-of-coarse she found out. so my friend thinks that she deserves all the bad that has waltzed into her life. like she went to some karmic priest who said you must suffer.. a lot... in order to repent and pay back all the bad you have done. but here's the thing. i really don't see a whole lot of bad in what she did. what i'm thinking is the case here is that she felt so guilty for what, she perceived,  as bad stuff that she did, that she is welcoming -with open arms- the bad. that she is subconsciously sabotaging her life. i began to wonder if that is really what a lot of us do. that we all have this notion in our head that we must be reprimanded for  our bad actions. that it is soo strong in us that we will in turn cause them to happen! i mean, as cerberus always says, like attracts like. so if you feel bad for something you did {which may have not really been such a bad thing!} you will open yourself up for a sh*t storm! what do you guys think?? personally i think it makes a lot of sense. so next time don't jump to blame karma. i think she is a bit tired of being called a bitch. :) this is what she told me to say:

ha!! luv you all! hope you guys have a fantastic weekend. i will. i've got a concert to attend on sunday. and i also get to see my sis and my niece. :D yay!! here's who i'm seeing:
