So I just read over the post from earlier today and realized that I sounded exactly like Carrie Bradshaw. I AM in trouble. Oops........do we all know who Carrie Bradshaw is? Remember I mentioned "Sex and the City".....anyway from there. I also got some great feedback. Thanks..smile
So I never did make it to the beach and I am once again pondering the "you get what you ask for" dilemma. My reward of going to the beach didn't materialize and I knew intuitively that it would not be. The friend that I was supposed to connect with just didn't sound completely reliable when I spoke to her earlier in the day but, almost true to form, for her she blew it. So did I need her to do this for me to get angry enough to blow off some steam. I didn't yell or swear or even cry, but I almost did..........embarassed little grin..........I can be such a little girl sometimes........... Anyway, I did call another person and put on my hiking shoes and HIKED up a hill into the mountains. It felt great however my other poor friend and HER DOGS couldn't keep up. Sigh. But at the end of the day, which is now..........grin.........I am feeling SO very much better.
So, in a weird and magical way I have to say Thanks Neti for screwing up today. The frustration I felt knowing that I should not have cancelled other plans for today for YOUR day with me led me to work through some other issues of which I have been blabbing about for the past couple of days. Ain't life grand.
And I also found out that the manuscript that I am working on only has to be 1/3 of the size that I had originally thought. So, this means that I will be finished WAY sooner and off it will go.
Shifting right along. Have a wonderful night, evening, afternoon, morning or whatever it is in your part of the world.
Blessings and Aloha

back in the land of cyberspace
So computer problem fixed and I was not responsible for it at all. Something to do with a filter or something but not me........funny I was thinking I had something to do with it all but at least it does make me remember that we do indeed get what we asked for.
Including emails from people who usually do not communicate that well. Remember the other day when I was feeling low and talking about the "man" with whom I had a relationship that was perhaps not exactly sacred? Well, shock of shocks, he just sent me the longest most explanatory and honest email ever. Of course now I am sitting here going WHAT NOW? Funny how the man/woman thing is and I certainly wish that I could figure it out or at least figure me out.
Anyway, here I sit on Monday, writing my blog for Monday. The story is going along really well and I will be writing up a storm this morning and then, as my reward, going to the beach. I am spending a LOT of time at the beach but HEY, that is what a Hawaiian vacation is for...right?
Hmmmmmmmmm, thinking about the statement "You always get what you ask for." I have to wonder sometimes about what I do bring into my life. Especially when it concerns men. Do I truly want to be in a loving, committed relationship or am I simply wanting to enjoy the company of others. Am I asking for simply pleasure or do I want something more? Seems like a no brainer to me but still there I am actually considering getting together with Mr. Wrong again. Am I the kind of woman who can separate her heart from the rest of her? I think not yet still, there is this pull to "him". Hey ladies......feedback? Or any of you men? What are your thoughts about this subject.
Can we actually have fun with someone and then be done with it? I know there are many, many people who can do this and have a perfectly comfortable life through it all. I just don't think that I am one of them. Remember Sex in the City and Samantha? She seemed to be able to jump from one man to the other with no thoughts of anyone but herself. But then she fell in love with this one man who just had to have other women. He claimed to love her but then again, he loved many. There seem to be a lot of men like that around or at least that I am coming into contact with. So back to the getting what you ask for. Am I asking for this? Is this a part of me that truly wants people to be separate from the heart? Curious but I guess I'll just have to figure this one out by myself.
BUT, the sun is shining (Ho Hum.......AGAIN.......sigh) and the story calls to me so I shall bid you all adieu.
Blessings and Aloha until next time.

communication glitches
Well, this is an interesting turn of events. Just today (It is Sunday but you will not see this posted on Sunday) I was talking with someone on line and he said that the internet could keep him distracted for hours and he just had to get out of there and get something done. I agreed with him and then realized of course that the internet is a HUGE part of my communication system as I connect with people the world over it seems. Living on Kauai is mostly responsible for that because EVERYONE who is NOT Hawaiian is from somewhere else on Kauai….smile. Anyway, I digress………..
But this gets us to the why behind receiving this a day late………er, I hope it is only a day late as Matrajen is pretty beside himself due to the fact that this is HIS computer. …….insert weak little grin hear. In conversation with the above mentioned gentleman I said that I needed the computer but I could do without the internet and all the communication that goes on with us all through cyberspace. WELL, and I love to get to say this…we ALWAYS get what we asked for.
It appears that his MODEM is slightly askew for lack of a better word and there will be no internet connection for this little redhead because A. the company he uses for his internet connection is local. This means no 24 hour help line….NO SIREE BOB they close on the weekends and B. since he has to go to work tomorrow he will not be able to remedy the situation until the earliest tomorrow evening.
And of course this means I have a computer at my command but NO internet connection so I can focus on the book that I am here to write and keep my Blog going – if even just for me until I can upload it. UPLOAD IT………I love that. This could be a perfect situation for me anyway.
There is no reason why I have to respond whenever another email goes PLOP into the inbox. I don’t have to be available on Instant Messenger unless I choose to connect with another. Again I say. This could just be it.
I feel a rant coming on and I really need to get dinner going. Matrajen just looked over my shoulder. He is not pleased………..grin………… Somehow I feel responsible for this because, you guessed it.
I ASKED FOR IT.
Blessings and Aloha until next time.
