Welcome, Friends and Foes!

Okay...did a kind of *end-around* to let everyone know to look for the new site.  I should probably go back and do a real link to my new site.  We'll see.

Chewlee spent the night and I got her to bed around 9pm.  I went to bed with her, thinking she would fall asleep quickly and I would get up and get a few things done.  Let me tell you...I'm glad I did yesterday's post early because I fell sound asleep and didn't even wake up to pee until 4am.  I was stunned.  So I went back to bed and didn't wake up until the Beast woke us both up (meaning me and Chewlee) so Chewlee could get dressed for church.  No, I'm not an unbeliever.  I believe whole-heartedly in God but I do NOT believe in the teachings of the church the Beast attends. 

Since I will not throw stones at ANY religion where the people are trying to be good people (but, perhaps, are a bit quirky), I will NOT name it.  I really don't believe in any organized religion, I suppose.  They all end up just looking to collect $$$ and that's what their preaching mostly ends up leaning towards as their main message.  Either that or that anyone who doesn't believe as they do should be avoided like a plague because they will contaminate your thinking!  I don't think God really cares how you are dressed or even where you preach.  I also think that family is probably the most important thing on this earth and you shouldn't live ANY religion that looks to break up families and to isolate you to just those who attend your church or ones like it.  Look at Jesus.  He preached on city streets, on hillsides, on beaches and lakeshores.  Did he ever attempt to break up families?  Somehow, I doubt it.  He even preached in the desert (and to the devil, no less).  If HE didn't care where he preached, why worry so much about $$$ just so you can have a spectacular building.  The building is NOT important. 

I can understand fund-raising for a leaking roof or if repairs need doing or even if the preacher's car needs repairs but.....not to live in splendor.  Christ didn't.  Are preachers more worthy than Christ Jesus was?  I don't think so.

I didn't mean this to get preachy and that's all I am going to say on that subject.

When they got back from church, I  had Chewlee change right away because her mother was picking her up so they could attend *daddy's* family reunion.  I hope they enjoyed it and that there were a few kids for Chewlee to play with.  She really wanted to have someone to play with today.

Tomorrow, after school, Chewlee goes to gymnastics.  So that means either the Beast or I have to go pick her up when that's over.  Now that I know where the school is, want to make a bet who gets that privilege???  LOL!  No, no, the first guess doesn't count!

I made potstickers for dinner.  I really like those things.  Easy to make and the Beast makes the BEST dip for them.  He mixes the soy sauce with the green hot paste in just the perfect blend so you get a kick out of it.  Yum!

Love you all.  Our weather was really on the cool side for most of the day and it's overcast enough that I suspect it will rain tonight or tomorrow.  Heavy cloud cover and it played hell with my internet connection.  I think we need to get a tech out here to get the signal stronger.  I don't think the original tech cared to really tune it in to a great signal.  Just one that was *good enough* for us (and that's a contemptuous *us*) in his mind.  He wasn't a really nice tech.  You could tell he was just trying to be polite without any warmth to it.

Again, love you all.  Have a super-fantastic week!
