Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,
I have been a very well behaved chickie this year. I am unable to post pictures for my fabulous bloggy friends due to my lack of a camera. This makes a very well behaved Diva very sad. I would totally dig it if you were able to slip a camera under the tree this year! Oh wait, I don't have a Yulemas tree this year... So I suppose you can just toss it on the front step... place it under my pillow... chuck it through the window... whatever you need to do - I am game! I promise to be a good girl in 2011! Whatever you can do for this Diva would totally rock! I promise to share it with Sheldon!
I love you Santa!
Divaeva and Sheldon

Go meet her and possibly win a ipod shuffle!

Good Luck!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a friend...

Ok, I have a few thankfully...but I am thinking of one inparticularly...

in which again I am more then greatful for.

But anyhoo..this friend posts quite often and asks...

What are you thankful for?

Geez... to pick just one... or two... or three...

or a million...

I am TRUELY BLESSED!

...and then some...

truely!
I love this picture above.... I remember Thanksgivings of past...

with lots and lots of family....

food...

friends...

smiles....

kids at "our" table and adults at "theirs"....

and now...

now I am just a wild woman *laughs*

yet so thankful for what I have that I could barely post well wishes

to my family and homemade family without crying my eyes out....

I am truely blessed.

I often wonder... Why me?

I have the BEST family and friends....

I have the best life...

a pretty kicking job (most days)....

a pretty kicking boss ( love ya Mimi)....

a bum knee - but I can still walk and DANCE...

I have clean 1000 thread count sheets...

a fully belly... heat to warm me... fans to cool my midnight hot flashes...

my kickin' Samhain (the best car ever)
friends w/vodka to chill me out... music to sooth me & keep me dancin'...

shoes on my feets... clothes on my back

(more then any one person really needs or deserves)

Like I said.... I have a million things to be thankful for...

I just take this moment to let the universe know...

You fucking rock!

THANK YOU!

I LOVE holiday music!

Words to live by...

PEACE

Ok, I admit it.

I AM A LAZY BLOGGER!

I signed up for the blogger thing for peace...

but I am far to lazy to figure out how to load the globe pic...

change it on photoshop with my name etc...

post here and play bloggy peaceness.

I spent the day in meetings, hospitals, and doc offices

and I am simply too exhausted to think.

ok, an excuse, but I am sticking to that!

What does PEACE mean to you?

How does it effect you and your daily life?

Do you think about it at all during you daily routine?

Do you wish for it in your life?

In the world?

For friends and family?

So tell me, what calms your heart?

*giggles* I love this picture!
I can flip people off with my talented toes...
...but I regress...
Told you I was tired and easily distracted!

Peace for me has many meanings.
I see it in the beauty of the colors of fall...
the quiet in the air as the leaves begin to turn brilliant.
Ahhhh and those peaceful snowy winters,
flowery springs.
and the beautiful warming sun of summer!
I find peace on days like today when the rain is falling
and I get to cuddle in front of a fire place.
I find peace in being with my friends and family.
I find peace in a delicious fresh baked chocolate chip cookie.

I find peace when I look at my favorite flower.

Sunflowers are definitely peaceful!

I find peace when my guy tells me he loves me before

we hang up the phone after every single conversation.

I find peace when playing with art.

wow... I could go on and on and on...

So again I ask you...

What does PEACE mean to you?

IT'S HERE!

Oh Yeah baby!

*giggles*

Crutches Suck!

Hey there bloggy peeps!

I have discovered

I am not fond of being out of comission!

Went in for surgery Monday on what we thought was a

simple meniscus tear...

*loud annoying buzzer noise*

"WRONG!"

Ended up being much more serious...

severe cartlidge loss.

Dr. Dua then proceeded to drill small holes into my

femur, tibia or patella....

(I think...I was half a sleep when he explained)

The blood filling the bone will create more cartlidge to form...

(or so I am told)

Needless to say, I am off it for 4 weeks.

It's killing me!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to carry a martini glass with crutches?

(LOL - kidding Mommie Dearest!)

It has given me time to play with my art...

but even that is getting boring....I wanna go out!

Pictures to come once Mommie Dearest sends me her camera.

(Mine broke and I want to save up for the Canon Sure Shot)

A little paniced about my cruise atthe end of the month...

Was hoping to be recovered by the time the ship left New York.

Looks like I will contiue to be gimpy and pampered on the cruise...

oh darn! *laughs*

Not my ideal way to end the summer....

What about you...

What fantasticness are you doing to close out the Summer of 2010?

18th Anniverary...

I have finally taken my mother's lead with this...

not with the BK Crown - that is totally MY obsession...

in which I seriously recommend y'all try...

Tomorrow I celebrate...

my 18th Anniversary

of my 29th birthday...

Yay me!

*laughs* Actually, if it weren't for the

torn meniscus and achy joints,

hourly power surges and flashes,

numerous greys that glisten in the t-top of my car in the sun,

(Which I have finally gave up on plucking out otherwise I would be balding too)

several thousand ointments and creams I use

on a daily basis...

I don't feel a day over 29!

*laughs*

oh fuck it... I love life and everything about it!

I love my wrinkles, my greys, my ointments...

I love who I have grown to become and I look forward to

growing up one day!

(oh, who the hell am I kidding...I am NEVER growing up!)

This weekend I head out camping with the most fabulous people in the world.

Loving, caring, artistic, creative, crazy, clever,

wonderful, wild, inspiring, talented...

oh my goodness I could go on and on...

What's not to love about life?

Now go get yourself a BK crown

and enjoy your day!

Twinkling H2Os

They're here! They're here!

I was like a kid in a candy store with the beautiful candy coated colors...

Which to play with first...
I must try them all...

I tried to get a picture of how glittery and fabulous they are...

so here are a few shots of the beginning of one of many started art journals...

I am indeed in love!

Have you played with art today?

Sorry this is all I had time to post. I had to "borrow" the pictures as it is...

I can't even begin to explain what a wonderful time I had with my Forest Folk Family. The community we have created with these people is amazing! The energy I get when I am around these people is amazing! I can only hope they get the same from me! I crave every moment I spend in the woods!
