sore shoulder bones

when the weather changes my body seems to protest. presently, sharp pains and aches have made themselve present. i blame my body. does this happen to you? yes... both parts, sharp pain a n d blaming it upon your own body?

thats all. i am bitting my nails and that is a horrible-- HORRIBLE- habit. i think it means i have a lot to achomplish and not so much time to actually get it done. that is the real reason i am bitting my nails now. STOP.

((oh i went to the cities this weekend and i miss my apartment and my friends and having reception on my cell phone.))

bread pudding

prematurely attempting to evolve into "my great aunt clovis." just popped it into the oven. 70 min. to comfort food for a rainy nov. day. what bliss.

my word

after over a year of deliberation, several months ago, i determined i would be an independent beauty consultant with the leading cosmetic company in this nation.

i held a debut, gave classes, and sold products. while in the process of a move over the state's line. after great amounts of time passed and internal lack of communication was dealt with, as well as, personal frustration, and account situations that were out of my hands-- i am now able to place the order that i told my dear customers "two weeks" when i originally took their order. wow.

during one particular evening of great frustration, my dad spoke with wisdom to me. "you can not give your word until it is in your courts agian to deliver the seal/ promise that you speak."

one's word is so important, it enables trust or it erodes it into nothingness.

check out the sight. i plan to place an order every two weeks. or if you'd like to be added to the mailing list, drop me a line. it is now back in my courts... www.marykay.com/jkersting

"mist"

i have watched the new reality show: rebel billionaire, a couple times thus far. the first broadcast called for a hot balloon "stunt" and sure concentration on the contestants behalf. two individuals were unable to complete the assigned task and were to participate in yet another act... they were called to climb to the top of a hot air balloon and have tea with Branson-- agh, i am fairly sure that is his name. one of the contestants proclaimed that they were able have "tea in a cloud." since the program aired a couple weeks ago, i have envied that remark. oh how i want to climb high, and be in the clouds, and yes-- simply be, of course while consuming some tea.

later that evening, i told my dad that i could have made it. i would have made it. and sounding quite bitter i wanted to know why they didn't ask me. he smiled. well... jas... i walked away while pondering my wished-for-location.

i w o u l d d o a n y t h i n g to be in a cloud.

late this afternoon as i returned to my parents home from work, thickness caused my moving mind to cease. i was in a cloud. in a cloud. that's it. i did not care about the weatherman's announcement of mist or fog. dang. it was a cloud. i was enveloped in white. the cloud was brought to me, and my stubborn eyes finally could see. ((though i didn't have any tea in the car during my travels, i drank some earlier in the day-- yeah so, with tea in my system i had a run-in with a cloud, and it wasn't awkward- it was good.))

i wonder what john kerry is doing right now. could he be eating a sandwich while pondering how he could have tallied up more votes in ohio? i pass on my best wishes for his future political 'hurrahs,' as i now congratulate george bush with the privledge to wake up in the white house once agian...
