LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

I love Autumn.

Spring and Autumn are the best times of year for me. With Autumn everything changes so quickly. The trees turns wonderous colours.

The air in fall seems to carry me. During the summer I feel like I am being pushed around by the heat. It presses against me and almost bullies me for two months.

The air during Fall seems to want to lift me up. It nips playfully at my skin and air overall feels fresher. During Autumn you can layer your clothing to get warm and strip away what you don’t need when the weather warms up.

That’s why I love Autumn. It is so diverse.

it made me happy to see you sign your post that way:)

hi everyone else.

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

SUDDENLY it is Tuesday.
I have a doc appt Friday to try again to determine what the flock is wrong with me and to try and figure out which surgeon I should be sent to. Ugh.

I hope you are all having a good Tuesday! I am working on a funeral print job and then I need to do something else productive today, though most of the things that need doing are outside and it is cold and rainy. No sense schleppin around in mud to pick tomatoes. )

Love, Emjay Mj )

hope the rest of you enjoy your weekend too.

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

It looks as though so many of us have had major changes in our lives this year.

Emjay – I am hoping you see the Blake move back this weekend. Positive thoughts do wonders. My job leaves me physically and mentally exhausted every day and then I still need to take care of and run my two. I really am begining to see that I am a glutton for punishment.

Sending love and hugs out to dear Heidi.

Lyd and all the rest I wish plenty of sunshine and good things and of course hugs and love.

Lots of life changes in my world – hopefully for the better.

Just like all other colony members (I’m sure), although I haven’t posted in forever, you are all with me in spirit daily. See what you’ve created ANT? A family.

ANT, you are in my thoughts and prayers, sending you strength for a steady recovery. You are an inspiration to many.

Ami ANT

Thanks for the wish!

I am in slight disbelief that The Blake may be moving home this weekend. I won’t believe it till it happens.

How is our ANT anyway?
Groovy and gorgeous as ever I spose.

How is everyone else? JPB I am always so happy to see you around. I miss you very much.

Happy Monday to the rest of you.

love ya mr pANTs

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

Your “Life” vid made me feel wonderful today ANT. I am thinkin I had better watch it again. )

EmJay – Great news on the 33 pounds!!!! keep up the fabulous work.

Lydia – I bet you are a real hoot as a neighbor. I need some really fun neighbors too. How are the kids and Cathy?

Craig – Nice to see you around.

Heidi – I am always thinking about you. Sending you extra love.

ANT – safe travels home

Well it’s official, my oldest has ADHD and it’s not been my imagination all these years. Now I have to get the Pediatrician to put her on medication and hope it doesn’t take forever to find the right med and dosage.

I will try to stop in on a regular basis. I miss you all.

Love and Hugs!

Lyds. I’m a pretty good neighbor. I am soooo happy that my neighbor 3 houses down has turned out to be my best friend in the past few years. Not sure why it took us so long actually. YOU would be a fun neighbor! I would even let yer kids take fruit off my trees! HA!HA!HA!

I am NOT going to worry about the results of my doc visit today.
She thinks my “yonder” problem is maybe a fistula not my bartholins gland. I wish it were just the gland. BUT! I am going on antibiotics for 10 days (damnit.) and then checkin with her again…… then probably off to a surgeon. WHATEVER!!!!!!!!! I rebuke fear. I have no time for it.

I officially claim 33 pounds gone today.
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go, but so far, the easiest and “most calm” way I have ever lost weight. Last night I had fried chicken and ribs. Crazy. Today I had fast food tacos for lunch. Most of the time I don’t do that but I can so it is fun!

Blake’s daughter can’t come next weekend. Her dad had an anurism in his brain last month and he is still recovering and they are moving him next weekend. We will see them after Blake moves back home, I am over whatever this funky thang is that I have, and her dad is better recovered.

Honestly? I am grateful for more time to get the house ready.
With my health stuff and Blake not being home, I was on total overwhelm trying to get ready for them coming to stay for 3 days.

ANT!!!!!!! You traveling today yes? I hope you have a comfy seat, great airline staff, nice people around you, and of course, safe travels. Greece always look like a truly magical place to me. Surreal in it’s beauty. I always see scenes from it that make me imagine angels walking the streets.

ANT….thanks for the 48 second look at life in Greece:) Glad you are happy and well.

Heidi….big hugs girl.

Craig…..it’s almost race time. I look forward to our weekly chat session.

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

Emjay thankyou for your concern.. I am just dealing with so much and to be honest not dealing with it very well as I keep things all to myself becomes overwhelming which brings me way down and hard for me to get back up.

That’s it for now..Hope everyone is well.

Oh well.
Have a great trip ANT.
I got the heebies when you said you are flying home Sept 11th but it will be fine. Probably theeeee safest day to travel dontcha think?!

All the shit I have been lookin to have happen in Sept is happening soonish so that is sorta surreal.
As Lydsville says, LLTAC!!!!!!!!!! THe more I think about the colony, the more I wish you all could just come over for a weekend at my house in a few weeks. End o summer bash. Harvest festival of love.

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

WHERE is HEIDI!?!?!?
I only ask here cuz she is missing at NBC too.
WHERE is ANT!?
He too is a bit MIA.
I will not fret.
I have faith.
ANT is well.

And, just in case……. ANT, if you are NOT well…… don’t hide ok?
It’s all going to be ok. Shine. Do. Become. Repeat.
And
Laugh.
Love.
Live.
Reach out.
Accept.
Trust.
Breathe.

Lyd. Amazing Race. One of my faves. Still my fave winners of all time were the groove hippy guys. Once a show is over I rarely ponder what ever happened to…. but those guys come to my mind more than normal.

It’s the end of a Monday.
Spent 5 hours cleaning my new-to-me car with a toothbrush, Q-tips, paper towels, shop vac, etc. THe damn thing was not even dirty, but yet I wanted to clean every inch as a gift to Blake. I wanted to have a pro do it, but they are not taking cars right now. Wacky.
I “didn’t hate it” enough that I may even offer to do that for my dad’s 80th birthday gift to him. If this glorious weather holds out it will kinda be fun and am not sure what else to buy a man who has everything.

Well………
that’s it for tonight I guess.
I am hoping the Cali-fires will be controlled soon, along with the heat there. I am not sure how I would handle the threat of fires or floods. Tornadoes and blizzards are spooky enough I think.

LOVE to you all.
Emjay Mj

Hey Craig….any word on when amazing race starts back up?

ANT….hope you are doing well.
xxoo

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

ANT, how are you? I am sending you much love and support and empathy and strength.

Now. If any of you are feeling like FREAKS……. just watch Bridezillas and you will see how absolutely sane and lovely you are.
WHAT is UP with these people!?!?!! People are really like this?
Oy Oy OY!!!!!!!!!!!!
