Tight-Assed, Tree-Hugging...

****

"When I doubt that I exist, I pinch myself. Even if our
knowledge of the world and of ourselves is illusory,
a "not-born," a "not-becoming" exists. Without it we
wouldn't exist. But we exist in a way that is at once
relative (to the activity of our mind) and conditioned (by
all the other existences)."

Are these quotes getting harder to understand as the year
goes on, or is it just me, because that made no sense what-
so-ever. I think it might just be me not focusing. I'm
kind of in a funk today.

I woke up feeling very lonely and melancholy. Not
depressed or unhappy, really. Just a little pensive and
withdrawn. I had nothing on the agenda for the day (other
than the gym), so I did what I do best when I have nothing
to do. I shopped. I went to Ross and got some new clothes.
Two pairs of size 9 jeans! Two pairs of shoes, two
dresses, two sweaters and a cute black top with bunnies
all over it. As if that wasn't enough damage, I had to go
to Bath and Body Works because I've got an associate
discount there (because VS and BBW are owned by the same
corporation). So, I stocked up on scented oil, got myself
the new Pumpkin Paradise body wash, scrub and lotion
(which smells so yummy!) and I picked Snookums up some
products too. I got him some body scrub, foot lotion, body
butter and a massaging tool. When he gets home, I'm going
to pamper him with a massage in the shower, then take care
of his feet (that are always taking a beating from being
in steel toed boots all day). I bought him new pajamas at
Costco a few weeks ago, so I'll have everything laid out
on the bed, awaiting his return. The water on the ship is
chlorinated, so he's always in the mood for a shower when
he gets home. I also bought three greeting cards at
Hallmark and a pair of leggings at Hot Topic. I enjoyed
myself.

I did the usual shopping just to get us through the
weekend. Then I picked the girls up. Snookums called me
pretty soon after we got home and let me know that he's
doing well, he's thinking about me and he's looking
forward to coming home soon. Not as much as I'm looking
forward to it! We talked for over two hours about all
sorts of things. It was nice hearing his voice. I always
miss him more the last few days before he gets home. I'm
so backwards!

Did I mention that I'd joined a Yahoo chat group for
vegans last week? Well, I had been a contributing member,
until today. Somehow it got out that my husband is in the
Navy. I don't even remember how it came up, but now all of
a sudden, I'm being bashed because my husband works for
the government. All of the tight-assed, tree hugging,
protesting morons on that site can kiss my clit! I'm proud
of what my husband does, regardless of how they feel about
the war or the military in general. He's doing a great
service for his country and he should be admired for that,
not shamed because he's not following the ideals of a
person who said one bad thing about him! I'll step down
from my soap box now!

I'm heading off to bed now. I'm so sleepy, I'm typing with
my eyes closed. I might fall asleep any minute! Ciao and
goodnight!
