~fresh water~


~fresh water~, originally uploaded by ~mintas.fotos~.



in the summer..every nite...
after it cools down a bit...
we all go out to play a bit in the back.....
(well...i pick up tootsie rolls, they play)

i also turn the hose on ...
so it swirls the water in their kiddie pool...
& put the balls back in ......

tonite......korkor beat zoe to the red squeaker ball .....

mainly because that big blue one scared her....lol

u can hear chix in the background talkin from her room......
& every so often u can hear bella growl from frustration....she never goes in.....but gets all bent out of shape that she cant get the balls.......

~6278~...new curtains~


~6278~...new curtains~, originally uploaded by ~mintas.fotos~.

new for the piano room....
old (out of storage)...

i bought these over two yrs ago....
from a Tibetan furnishings shop in flagstaff,AZ.

i had originally wanted them for the tv room....but the colors didnt really go after i got them home....
& because i couldnt afford to buy another set to place behind to stop the sheerness of them from outside prying eyes....into storage they went.

so.....last nite.....as i was realizing i needed to take the heavy forest green tapestry ones in for cleaning.....

i remembered i had these.......& i am so happy that
they work just beautifully in the piano room...

except for ONE thing......
one VERY LOUD thing...
that thing called chicken!~

her room is an enclosed room off the sliding doors of the piano room......

so now......whenever i cross from the kichen / tv room side of the house into the hallway/bedroom side of the house?

she sees ALL....& usually yells out to greet me....or the dogs...or whatever she thinks she can see now......

i am thinking ( hoping) that this excitement of screaming out everytime something moves in that room - behavior - will calm down......~

oh well......i luv her...& the curtains.....so i'll leave it be for now....

or until the neighbors complain... =)

well..
its 4 am....going to bed ...finally ...
after yet another cleaned copy of my dissertation proposal.....
cleaned copy of the consent form...
cleaned copy of the International review boards application...

u see.....
after changing all reference ( and supporting discussion) of generic "native americans" to more specific Navajo Nation native american women .....at the behest of my committee chair....

the Dr, in charge of the Phx Indian Medical Center said there was NO WAY I would get permission to conduct my study from the Navajo Nation ....as they are uber strict......

so....u guessed it....
changed them all back to generic reference to Native American women.....plus all the discussions surrounding any Navajo translators, translated docs, Navajo Nation members, self-identified Navajo mothers....etc.

so ....yeah.....running in circles as usual w/ all this.... =)

nite nite.....today( after getting some good sleep.....) i play .....

~FUTAB~....brought my own ladybugs~

....on a side note....
anyone else remember the "bug-a-boos"?
it was a little HR puff-n-stuff rockband...
who lived in the tree tops ...
& rode around on flying bugs.....
when they performed....?
yeah..
I know......
those HR puff-n-stuff people,
in my opinion....
had some GR* smoke ....huh?..... =)

"the bug-a-boos....the bug-a-boos...."
"they're in the air...they're everywhere"....
"the bug-a-boos"........

~update on the big cabash that is my so called job~

i am sooo confused.......yesterday, i survived a day of going in...doing my work...completing all that i could on the tasks i was given for the week....( 3 of 5 for the week done before 11 am...)....& waited to hear ANYTHING from anyone on the team...it seems as tho they are starting the big shutout....if u've worked in the cold inpersonal chickenshit environment that is the IT corporate world ......this is that which occurs when one is being phased out.... no answers from emails in addition requests to not attend weekly status meetings....todays manadatory team meeting was also just cancelled.....so ...who knows wtf is happening ...i guess i sit here and wait until i either get walked out ....or called on the phone by my recruiter.....in the meantime"?...i'll finish my breakfast burrito since i paid for it already & lord knows i may need to start watchin the pennies again.....BAH!~
