It Never Gets Easy......

I have heard some say something to the effect that as time goes by it always gets easier....
I would question this as easier to forget?
Or easier to simply stop remembering??
And speaking for myself.....it so far has not gotten easier....
sometimes other things pop up 
but in my case.....
I miss my Momma as much or 
even more today
than the day I lost her
and she used to tell me
"Promise me you will never forget about me"
and I can't and I won't
and anyone out there who has ever lost 
anyone in their life
that they loved with all of their heart
knows what I know...
that it never gets easier....
but remembering them and the 
things that they loved and
trying to honor their memory
to me.....is the one thing that
does make it at the time seem a bit easier :=)
here is a pic of one of the last
pics that my Mom mailed me...
when she was out of town
from one of her and dad's trips
to Trinidad Cali....
and of him and her doggies
and her inscription on back.....
and remembering how much she
loved being there
makes me smile today :=)

Rip Linda Darlene....you were always so so pretty..thank you Momma :)

Like Crack In Your Cheerios


Seriously Suddenly Seeking Tamara Again and Again LOLzzz

1. Narcissism: they make any and everything about them, and only come around when they need something and/or to feel better about themselves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can see U Bleed~ Spanky Luvs Had A Dream 2013~~~~~~
-----------------------
I can see you bleed
and it is purple
congealed not real
and I once would have
felt sorry that your blood
seeps and seeps
(and weeps)
but not now
 for you
( the phoney one)
you bleed and bleed
because
he found out what was
real....
a long time ago
the REAL you
and then he knew
he knew
it was all purple
it wasn't real
(what he
once thought
was you....)
he found it out and then
he was through.
And seriously I really
think you focused
waaay tooo much on the
Tamara one
instead of yourself
but once he really knew the real
you...he was gone
and he can look at you
and say he loves you more
than anything
and he can look at you and
say he is happier than he
has ever been
but all you have to do is
to look in his eyes
and you know....
you know you know you know...
you are now not enough
and you never again will be.
You know that
deep down
in whatever plastic heart
you have....
you know that-----
but he failed once at
being a dad and he isn't
gonna do it again...
he will stay
but he is never really
here with you
because he knows the real you
and he is through
you lost him a long
time ago
(just because you are you)
nothing else....
R-E-A-L-L-Y---
just because he found out
the REAL you
and wham bam away he ran
and he knew
(yes he knew)
and now he is always
on his phone
at the bar
on the highway
on the look----
searching for that next
quick fix...
the one who will make
him feel like the
big POPPA panty
droppa that he knows he is.
You didn't treat him right...
you were cold
and now you are old
so much older than all of those
other fine
young thangs
he finds...
they make him feel
like what he once
thought you made him
feel...
REAL...
but once he found you out
he was gone.....
he might be here
and you will say he
"Has issues"
BUT SERIOUSLY???....
....get real....
the issue is
SIMPLY
you....
he can not feel real with you
and that is why he is
always on the fly
and you can't look him in the
eye.....
without knowing
he is not happy
he does not want to be with you.
But you have kids
and he will not fail again
at that.
And the recent one
he had to fire
she looked at him with
such desire
she told him
"Let's just run away"
but he couldn't go....
he couldn't go and just
let someone truly love
him for what he is
and always was...
so he cut her loose
and started searching
for the next young thing
who could ring a ding
ding
his bell.
And it's not you
purple cold heart
bleeder.....
it is not you...
I STILL
see you bleed
and it is not real
and he knows it.
Would you like a tissue?
Cuz you are his issue...
but guess what?
He doesn't seem to care
Just watch him stare....
you are not in that moment
you lost that with him
and you will never
never never ever
get that back
with him.
 I know him better
than you ever will
you can't bleed red
ever.......
(and he knows
how it feels)
to be with you
and to not really
feel anything
real.
You taught him that
Congrats!

Not for lack of wantin' pants
I'd so do the crazy dance
if ya gave me a chance.......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An old cloth measuring tape was the starting point for this blue hues necklace.
I poured a little resin on top of the "Lackawanna Pants Mfg. co" vintage tag and added an old rhinestone button to the tape. The charm dangler is made from an old thimble and a very old crest vintage earring and some vintage beads and charms. I added some blue plastic recycled beads and a couple of metal findings that I purchased here awhile back on Etsy. Some vintage chain and a couple more vintage buttons finished the piece.
The necklace is 24" long and the charm dangler is 4" tall.
Thanks for visiting my shop :=)

Imagination Station

Little Einsteins Schmeinszzzzteinzzzzz I say LOL.....
here is a little bit about my moment with the grand babies tonite ...
okay Lexie knows the real names of these Einstein peeps...



But little Chloe brings me the DVD cover and I say who are these people?   I point to them and say ..top left hand corner "She looks like an Isabella"....2nd right hand corner...."It's you Chloe"....bottom left hand corner...."Hey this is Papa Mike" and bottom right hand corner...this is our friend "Jesus"....
so Chloe is pointing to the pics and of course I am grandma with a limited view on the new videos and know about "Toy Story" "Buzz and Woody" but dang ...I can't keep up with all of these peeps so of course I'm gonna name a few of them on my own if I don't know them LOL!

So then what happens???   In pops Lexie and she is freakin amazed balzzzz that grandma and her sister Chloe are now calling "Leon"  "Papa Mike"...and she can't believe how stupid we are that we don't know their real names!!!  So me....being the goof balllllll grannny that I am tell Lexie......"Hey did you ever think that Leon didn't like his name and now he wants to be called "Papa Mike"?.....
So long story short......
Lexie knows the little Einstein real names.....and now also their new possible but not probable names.....
Chloe on the other hand will now know that maybe the little blonde haired girl is named "Chloe" and yep the dude with the rocking hair and green glasses is called "Mike Poppa"...
and that's just how we rockaaa and rolllll
that's just the way we do it here in my real world
LOL peace and love to ya'll
whether ya be of the Einstein or the stupid-stein nature
hee-hee

Porkmeistermania

So when I was talking to one of my on-line friends tonight....she mentioned a bit about some of her "pork chop" posts....that made me giggle harshly ( in my this week almost no voice raspy/slash/delerious)  note LOL..anywhoo---
I thought of an image I had scanned of an old child book nursery rhyme that I somehow managed to whack and jack as I often do...hee-hee...but this is my ode to Porkchops tonight......and my thoughts and prayers are with a lovely gal who has given me many smiles and laughs in the past few years---I feel a real connection because she is one who is in your face but the real deal when it really gets down to it.....you know who you are girl----the real deal----no pork puffers here hee-hee-----and who could ask for more??????????....
this is a poetic pork shout out LOL! cuz we have all felt this about certain peeps or porks in our life at one time or another hee-heeeeee :=)

What do do with extra earring backings?

So I used to be one who always had earrings that were missing the backings and I would find myself "borrowing" the backings from one pair to share with another.....but these days I often have bunches of extra earring backings and never really did much with them....so the other day I added a few of them to a pair of earrings I made.....I'll probably start using a lot more of them from now on LOL!
