Today's Horoscope
Think about a person who really taught you something valuable in your life, and bring that good memory to life in the present for a while. Remembering this person, whose encouragement helped you in the past, will help you keep a positive attitude today. You need to keep hanging in there when times get rough! Honor this person by being a positive and encouraging presence in someone else's life -- lend a hand or give a hug to someone who's feeling extra stress now.

Writer's Block: Makeover! Or: Creepy Crawlies
I just want to clarify that I am bipolar and was between medications when this incident happened. Keep that in mind: Insects: My sophomore year in college, I was reading "Amityville Horror" the novel. On the first page of each new chapter, there was a horse fly (there's a big horsefly incident in the book/movie). Anyway, I got home from dancing at a club about 2:30 and went up to my room (at my parents' house). In explicably, there were 8 huge mother of all hugeness horse flies flying around my room! My windows weren't open, so there was no way for them to get in. I never had any in my room before that night or after. EVER! So, suddenly, I decide that I have the devil in my room because of reading Amityville horror. In my major brilliance, I decide to get the vacuum cleaner and suck the flies up with the hose. I drag the vacuum alllll the way up. My efforts are futile though, which freaks me out even more. I run down and start bawling incoherently to my mother. She gets up to see what's going on. She sees the vacuum cleaner and the flies and me. I get so upset that I run out of the house in nothing but a t shirt and undies and sit on the corner under a street lamp. i felt safer there, somehow. My mom came out and told me she'd call the police if I didn't go back inside. Eventually my mom killed all the flies with a rolled up newspaper. I wouldn't go back in my room for a week. I slept on the couch. End of story. | | Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 | | 8:23 am |
Ask She Wednesday #5!!  Here's How It Works:~You ask ME a question in the comments section which I'll answer next Wednesday. ~You comment on YOUR opinion of this week's responses. ~I will ask YOU a question at the end. Post about it on your site, then link it back here. Here is last week's question to YOU answered by me: Who is your fave musician/type of music/song to listen to when you are:
Depressed, Broken-hearted, & most expresses me--Fiona Apple Anxious--Ocean waves Excited--Do Your Thing by the Basement Jaxx Happy--Any good 80s music In Love--It Had to be You by Harry Connick Jr Tranquil--My ocean sounds cd (no music; just ocean) In a dancing mood--Groove is in the Heart, or anything 80s Praising your God--Point of Grace, Avalon or Jars of Clay Nikki: If you could go back in time to change just one thing with no consequences of screwing up the time/space continuum or any of that hooey, what would you change and why?Avert the holocaust or 9/11 Alice: If you had $5,000, how would you spend it? Rules include: no charities, no saving it, no putting it towards any necessity (rent, food (unless it's like for a fancy dinner or something), gas, etc) and you MUST spend it.I'd probably go on vacations to the caribbean, walt disney world, and cape cod. Betsy: What is your favorite physical attribute?My red hair. I hated it as a child, because it brought me so much attention. Apparently there are only 2% of us left out there. As a performer, I've learned to use it to my advantage. Angela: Do you scrapbook or anything similar?I scrapbook and make collages when the mood strikes. I've also made a couple paperbag scrapbooks. Usually when I get into a creative mood, by the time I've bought all the supplies I need, I'm out of the mood. Blah. Dane Bramage: Q: If you could enact a universal law that applied to everyone on Earth, what would it be and what would be the penalty for breaking it?Any kind of molestation or rape to children would result in the perpetrator having his dick lopped off/her vagina sewn shut (or whatever) and be exposed in jail to the same abuse they inflicted on a poor innocent child. Danica: Why?Danica, you have NO idea how many times I've asked this question of myself, God, my counselor, my mom, etc. The way my mind works, it thirsts to know "why" something works the way it does or "why" it behaves that way . . . When I figure that out, I'll let you know. I've been told, though, that finding out why something is the way it is doesn't change the fact that it is what it is. Ms. K: If you had to choose to listen to ONE musician/artist/band for the rest of your life (like on a desert island), who would it be?Definitely STP. Each album greatly differs from the others, so there would be a good mix to listen to. Alex: Would you rather date a professional fisherman or a garbage man?Probably a garbage man. Heh. At least he would be home every night. The guys on "Deadliest Catch" are away for long periods of time, not to mention it's very dangerous work. Question for YOU: What is the most memorable place you've ever been? It could be a positive or negative experience that has stuck in your mind.As always, I'll answer this next week! | | Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 | | 8:34 am |
This is where I am today
In you, Lord, I put my trust: may I never be put to shame.
In your justice, set me free,
Turn your ear to me,
make haste to rescue me.
Be my rampart, my fortification;
keep me safe.
For you are my strength and my refuge:
you will lead me out to the pastures,
for your own name’s sake.
You will lead me out of the trap that they laid for me –
for you are my strength.
Into your hands I commend my spirit:
you have redeemed me, Lord God of truth.
You hate those who run after vain nothings;
but I put my trust in the Lord.
I will rejoice and be glad in your kindness,
for you have looked on me, lowly as I am.
You saw when my soul was in need:
you did not leave me locked in the grip of the enemy,
but set my feet on free and open ground. | | Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 | | 8:24 am |

Please VOTE for Caitlin!!
A theatre friend of mine has a son with Down Syndrome. As he's gotten older, things have been harder for the family to manage. Their younger daughter, Caitlin, is a wonderful dancer and recently had some good news.
Caitlin won the Title of Miss Teen Superstar a few weeks ago at a dance competition. With this honor, she also gets the chance to be the "The new face of JAM Cosmetics." This is a national model search competition for a cosmetics company that is for dance make-up.
If you could help Caitlin out by voting, that would mean a lot to her, as well as her parents!
All you need to do is to go to their website which is www.jamcosmetics.net. Then you enter the site and click on the ad for the model search contest (in the lower right hand corner). Then you go to proceed to view models. Click on "Vote Now" and type in "Peggy Halley Dancer" as your dance studio (that was mine) and "Grove City, OH" for the town, then type in "Caitlin Brosnahan" as the model.
Thank you all for your support and please feel free to pass this on to people in your address book. The family could certainly use this good news! | | Monday, April 14th, 2008 | | 11:19 am |

Improv Redheads Unite! A NYC group of improvers, decided to gather all the redheads they could find and stage a faux protest against the Wendy's logo. About 50 redheads boarded the "Red Line" pretending not to know one another. Brunettes and blondes, alike, looked on with confusion. Then, one of the main improv guys came on the train selling a squirt of sunscreen for $1. Finally, they landed at Wendy's, doing chants and holding signs. Go HERE for full details. It's funny as heck! | | Friday, March 14th, 2008 | | 11:55 am |

Zoey & Rape Day & Prayers Needed
Zoey came home last night, sans leg. She was very frantic and couldn't get comfortable, so we gave her a tranquilizer. Our oldest dog kept trying to get in the cage with her to comfort her. They bandages come off tomorrow, although I'm not sure if I want to see her like that.
Secondly, today marks 8 years of suriving Feb 15, 2000. Any good thoughts you can send my way would be welcome.
Lastly, a 41 yr old mother of 2 had a stroke on one side of her brain and an aneurism on the other side. This is not good. If you could say a prayer of healing for Lori, that would be great too. She is an old coworker's step daughter. | | Tuesday, February 12th, 2008 | | 2:36 pm |
Surgery tomorrow Zoey is going in for surgery tomorrow to have her front right leg amputated. Due to the snow & ice, my mom told me not to go down to see her tonight. Le sigh. I just hope everything goes smoothly and I can see my girl on Thursday when she's able to go home. Please for my baby the next 2 days.  | | Monday, February 4th, 2008 | | 10:05 am |
Smith Family Needs Our Prayers (Cancer - 3 of them have it) The Smith family has been on my radar for many years now.  The lovely Sarah has fought and won her fight with Neuroblastoma cancer twice!! She is currently in remission. Recently, though 3 bouts of bad cancer news resurfaced in the family. Sarah has a cancerous mole that needs to be removed. Her father, had been diagnosed with skin cancer. Worse yet, her mother has recently been told their is a high chance of malignancy in BOTH breasts, meaning that if she does have breast cancer, it has already been spreading. This amazing family, which includes a son, needs us to lift them up in our prayers! They have been through so much in life. The husband is a pastor, and he and his wife are Christian singers that used to travel the USA singing until Sarah got sick. Please visit their site and let them know you are praying for them. |
