The rules of gifts

***note*** this was written by my mother:

There is a lot of thought this time of
year about gift giving.

I really never thought about all the rules I have
created in my life, some from watching reactions to those in my life
and others developed over time and experience. Lastly those from
necessity.

So here it
goes…

1. The gift is always
what the receiver would like, NOT what you think is neat, cool or with
an emotional attachment from your past. Hence NEVER give something for
your purpose but for theirs.

Example: tools for someone that would never uses them
but you will. A football to a computer
geek.

2. It should be
something that can be used or played with right
then.

3. It should be
something they really want or dream about. Simply, something that would
give them pleasure or add a smile to their faces. Never something they
need.

Example tires for the
car or the all time classic socks .Just a no
no

4. Clothes… What can I say here not
everyday things, There are extra rules here.

A. Sweaters NO, a holiday sweater to a
Christmasholic YES.

B. Tee shirts NO, Specialty tee shirts
YES

Ones about a hobby or subject of
interest.

Example: “fighting
elves” shirt, like the one worn in the movie or TV show “Firefly”.

a astrological shirt for those
addicted to their horoscope.

a SCA tee shirt from your kingdom, you sure can’t find
that down at Wal-mart.

C. Shoes NO, but that pair they point out in the window
and just think it would be a treat to own,
yes.

D. PJ’s No, Lingerie
YES or once again ones that says something fun about their
personality.

Need I say
more?????

5. It can be a hobby
item that when used, gives them pleasure, even if they do not, keep the
end product.

6. The gift doesn’t
have to cost anything. They are made from the heart or a act of
caring.

A homemade gift card to
mow the yard. A coupon booklet that you will make a pie, help with
everyday things, they do not like to do, or a promises of a simple
dinner in the future. But remember you MUST follow-up and deliver. It
is always nice to remind the receiver if they forget once the holiday
has passed.

A poem or story written
just for them.

Once you think about
it, it makes things easier and the person that receives the gift happy
and isn’t that what it is all about.

I’m sure their are more but, these are a few basics to
live by. Myself I like giving in threes. One for or appeals to the
physical, spiritual and emotional nature. And what is wrong with, just
plain fun in nature.

Love… I give up…

It is no lie… anyone who knows me knows I am head over heals… discustingly so…

Sometimes though… its best to throw in the hat and give up…

Some people just can not be together…

I was dumb enough to belive in the false hopes… That is my own fault… I should know better than to take a man at face value…

…Sometimes to maintain the feelings… its better to walk away…

been busy

I have not really been blogging… I have been keeping myself busy…

I got a new job, but I am not that excited about it. It is money at least. I excited that 90% of my holiday shopping is done.

My cat is a bigamist and has another family… I am sure of it… He is gone more than he is here lately and I miss him allot… He has gotten very big! He is 30 pounds of mussel Tom Cat…

Here it is over a year later and I still have the same lover… I still see him often, and I miss him when he is gone… He says he misses me too… Looks like I will get what i want most of all for my birthday… him, naked…

My children will be here for all of the Christmas Holidays and I am very excited over that.

I am madly in love with a bad ass woman too… She is dating my platonic life partner though… Don’t ask… long story…

I am writing when I have time, and reading more… My knee is bothering me allot so I have spent alot of time in bed with books, and chocolates… I love VC Andrews…

I am starting a new book, this has nothing to do with Naomi as well… I have named the main Character Carmilla Grey… I am still bringing her to life though… I am very excited about her too

The past…

Has this weird way of coming back and visit you…

It is how we handle our past and embrace the moment that makes us stronger or weaker…

One can never let the past rule us, we should learn from it, take from it what we can but do not let it dominate the moments we live. Your past is not who you are, it just shapes what you have become.

If you do not like your past, evolve. Shed the past from off your shoulders, and reinvent your NOW. Remember, it is now that matters, for that is what we are faced with.

There is nothing in our past that is so grand that it is worth giving up an eternity of moments for.

There are often things in our past worth holding on to, and those should never be let go of. If we focus too much on that we miss what is going on all around us.

So I am thankful for my past for making me who and what I am. I am thankful for all the good memories my past has given me, and the people who have breached my awareness. I am thankful for those who have inspired me… Yet I am not letting go of the things that make me happy now and inspire me today.

I am told this is a foolish pursuit, that will leave me feeling empty later, but I can not see how following BLISS can ever be foolish…

I do not have the crazy notion that if it feels good go for it but I also will not subject myself to needless stress and pain. I do not put myself were I do not want to be. How can that be so bad? This simple thought has given me a book that I have written, and inspired people around me…

Am I permanently enlighten? Or am I the fool like those who do not get it think that I am? I really do not know.. Nor will I worry about it. For today the sun shines and God blesses me…

Buddhists believe that only when we are free from desire are we ready to achieve bliss.

My sin… gluttony…

I drank to much last night, and ate to much today. I have also had way too many sodas today also…

I feel well… like a glutton…

maybe I should go practice some other deadly sins later… or not… i may just get all slothy…

oh my…

My meds are really getting to me….

blah…

I wish my body would get used to it already…

been gone to long

I have been gone from my blog for awhile and for that I am sorry.

I have been dealing with stuff…

But that is now all taken care of!

I am back to writing lately too! I have been writing by hand though. Anyone who has reallyt delt with me knows this is a kind of big deal because it hurts for me to wright due to damage to my hands over the years…

I plan on transcribing some of the new stuff soon, but if I do it will be posted to my other blog. I should do thattoday, but who knows. I never did finish the outline…

OK OK I am getting on that right now…

Choke Movie

I went and saw the choke movie with my flatmate Jon last night. It is based on the book also called Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. Over all I thought it was very well done. I liked it allot. The ending was different… I was a little let  down in the ending.. and they never really show Denny’s Castle… So I was a little up set by that…

Jon say we are buying it as soon as it is on DVD! That makes me happy!

Oh and anyone who pays attention… I finished Desperate Housewives last night… well the first 3 and 1/2 seasons… I cam unable to see the last part of the 4th season at this time…so I am switching to Invader Zim and Criminal Minds…

I was really down last night and needed something goofy (hence the Invader Zim).

GO SEE THE CHOKE MOVIE NOW!!!!

yes… you… what are you waiting for??? (oh this is WAY not a moive for kids…)
