Yes, I realize it’s Foto Friday and I normally put up something pretty, thought provoking or fun – but this week I thought I’d just put up something that provokes me.
This is a photo of what I call my cord drawer. This is the top drawer of my filing cabinet that sits next to my desk. Now, I’d love to keep handy things in there like office supplies, files, paper for the printer…
BUT NO….
Every other week the cords take over. I swear, I clean this drawer at least twice a month and the moment I’m not looking, gremlins get in there, tangle up the cords to ensure I can’t find anything. I gave up keeping much of anything in that drawer because it just gets caught in the cords, flipped out of the drawer and onto the floor.
Do you think it’s a conspiracy? Are the cords trying to form a union and take control of my filing cabinet?
Cheeky monkeys. Today I’m armed with zip ties and labels, we’ll see who wins this battle!

Romance is all about the fantasy. 
We, as women, do harass men from time to time about objectifying us as sexual objects. If you watch television ads, what does a blonde in a bikini have to do with selling wine? Is the implication that if you buy said wine, you get a free blonde with purchase?
Now let’s be honest ladies – do we not objectify men through romance novels? Tell the truth now.
Of course, IMO, its difficult to find a man who doesn’t enjoy being thought of as a sexual toy. Let’s face it, they’re all about the fantasy, too.
This is Jason Chambers, a mixed martial arts fighter and co-host of Human Weapon on the History Channel. I picked this photo because I thought he was hot, like the pose, and the tattoo screams Bad Boy. In all honesty, my favorite photo of him was in a suit but I didn’t select it as I didn’t feel it properly illustrated my point.
Fantasy is a beautiful thing.

Recently I discovered that my cable service has The Best channel EVAH! It is VH1 Classic. They play tons of videos that were big when I was a teen and completely addicted to MTV. This morning I spent several hours chuckling over the polyester stretch pants and way big hair.
Ah, fond memories.
While enjoying this blast from my past, I came up with a few comments that I’d like to share.
Van Halen – the moment David Lee Roth left they blew chunks.
Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart have two of the most beautiful voices in music
The Police – after they broke up Sting had a few moments of brilliance then lost his mind and musical way
Eddie Van Halen wasn’t nearly as hot as I remembered.
Warrant was one of the worst hair hands there was.
Michael Jackson was stupidly talented
U2 rocked both then and now!
Eric Clapton is one of the best guitar players in the history of recorded music
AC/DC was the BOMB both with and without Bon Scott
Metallica turned the Heavy Metal world on its ear when they made their arrival
Steven Tyler of Aerosmith is still incredibly HOT!
Why the Pet Shop Boys did a song called ‘West End Girls’ when it was pretty obvious they had little to no interest in women is beyond me…
Twisted Sister was one ugly band
Iron Maiden – how did they play music with all that hair?
Poison – no thanks – did nothing for me both then and now
REM was THE BAND then they went commercial in the nineties
I just loved Pop Up Video – it was fab.

I could’ve sworn I posted a blog last week. Normally I try to post two or three. Somehow, in the depths of my scary brain, I managed to miss almost two weeks of potential blog-time. How does that happen??
I was going through some old photos and thought I’d post something pretty. The fall colors around here have been bad thanks to the drought. I took this photo seven years ago and I think it’s pretty.
I absolutely love the scent of drying leaves. Reminds me of pumpkin pies, hot chocolate and the scent of snow.

| Thirteen Things I can’t live without
1. Chocolate – no explanation necessary2. Computers – can’t help it, I’m addicted. I have a love/ hate relationship with technology. You can just call me a technology stalker.3. My dogs – they really are too cute.4. Sweatpants – they’re more than clothing, they’re a lifestyle.5. Lip Gloss – I don’t know about you but my lips get DRY! Not enough kissing I guess.6. Bottled water – Our tap water doesn’t taste right because we have a water softener. It ends up with a soapy taste.7. Hand Lotion – delicate hands you know!8. Music – I have no idea how I’d survive without music. I pretty much listen to it 24/7.9. Pillows – I have 20 on my bed alone. They’re good for snuggle into when watching a movie.10. My car – when my car goes into the shop I literally have panic attacks. I just might need to go somewhere and I can’t – NO WHEELS! (screams of pain)11. Did I mention chocolate? Lindt truffles, please.12. Books – nope, a life without books is no life at all.13. Readers – if I didn’t have readers then I wouldn’t have a job…not that I’m pro-working mind you!! But if I didn’t have readers then I’d be stuck with all these voices in my head with nowhere to go and that would be ugly.  So tell me, what can’t you live without?

It’s that time again…when the little ghosties and goblins scamper about. You never know, someone who has passed on might be sending you a message – be open to it.
Namaste
