March 2017 Wrap-up

3/31/2017

Life

     March continued the drama that had erupted in February and it was difficult... so very difficult... to hold my tongue.

March 2 - #thatmomentwhen good sense (and class) dictates silence and you just wanna unleash a maelstrom of expletives...

Outwardly, I did a good job. Behind the cover of private messages, however, I was not that honorable. Given the opportunity, when called a "sheep/follower" and "pathological liar" I lost it... but still kept it classy. No name calling, no low blows, just truths.
By the end, it was almost as if we were "friends" again... although I remain unfriended on social media and haven't heard from them since. I don't care, well, I care enough to post about it, but I grew up a military brat. Friends came and went and if you didn't adapt, you were a lonely kid. I have never been lonely.

Mom

​​Mom [made] a version of Tom Yum, which in our house, is the chicken soup you eat when you're sick. It's spicy. She's making it for her mother-in-law who is sick.

Mom: Honey, come taste this soup when you're done. I want to make sure it's hot enough to burn her ass.

Him: Don't burn her ass.
​
Mom: You gotta burn out the sickness, honey.

Chicken man
Ring, ring
Mom: He just came in Ohma, now I'm hungry. 
Me: Who came in? 
Mom: The chicken guy. 
Me: Um... you never mentioned a chicken guy. Is he dressed like a chicken?
Mom: NO (exasperated, then long pause)
Me: Does he cluck like a chicken?
Mom: NO, every time he come in he smell like BBQ chicken. 
Me: Ah.... and now you're hungry. 
Mom: Now I'm hungry. 
Me: Want me to bring you some food?
Mom: No, I have some.
Picture
Me: Mom, these labels are impossible. I can't even use my phone trick and any distance. 
Mom: You figure it out , Ohma. I want to know which one I use first. 
Me: Can you read the label?
Mom: Why you think I ask you, dummy?

Mom bought a collection of beauty products from HSN and needs me to number them 1-5 in order if use.

​Spent the day with moms and family today... nothing extraordinary, except the food of course, and some ragtag conversation about the boy going to a strip joint and my mom saying she would drag him out by his ear... all in all, a GREAT day!!

I was able to spend some quality time with Cin, who I met back in 1997-98. She is one of the loveliest people on the planet and I enjoyed every minute with her.

Tim

Tim is a great friend I met through my best friend... Tim and I had made a bet. A bet about who the shoes belonged to at the end of the mid-season finale of the Walking Dead. We bet lunch. Guess who paid for who? 

I had Tim take me to one of my favorite places, Uncle Angelo's inside Jerry's Nugget. 

​It was great to spend some one-on-one time with him.

A Friend's Sabbat

I've known Kelly since 2009. I met her on a radio show I once hosted about paganism. She came on the show and represented the Elven tradition. We made a lot of jokes about needing to have pointy ears to join but in Kelly, I found a wonderful, kindred spirit. We also share the same birthday. Sisters! After eight years, we were finally able to get together for a sabbat and I was delighted to have attended. I met her extensive group who were dynamic and friendly and participated in a most loving ritual. I was honored to have been asked to call and dismiss a quarter, and the after party food was tremendous! I do hope it won't be another 8 years for us to share a sabbat together.

Me:
Um.... where's the coffee pot?
Them: Oh, I don't own one.
Me: Um.... oh, um...
Commentary from friends
RUN.......   -   Get out while you still can   -   
What?? But what does that mean? Like theirs broke and they're waiting for the new one???   -   
​Pod people.   -   Even pod people have a back up coffee maker.   -   
Lol there are 3 coffee makers in my house.   -   
Me too! I have a single serve, a regular pot, and a percolator that will make 32 cups of coffee. (Also I have an electric kettle and a French press in case you want to get fancy)   -  
What no coffee. Who does that !!!   -   

This is why my dad always travels with a single cup pot and a little container of Folgers.

​Turned my back for a second and Magellan decided it was a great perch from which to be the king. #cats

Signs of Spring, ErmaZurita.com
​There are many who say that there are only two seasons in Vegas: hot and cold: I beg to differ. Signs of spring can be seen everywhere. This is in the parking lot of a grocery store while I wait for my neighbor.
Charles & Norman, ErmaZurita.com
​My neighbors Charles & stepson Norman. It's been a long shopping day. They didn't care for Mike much, but they loooove me. LOL! #iwilltakethem #neighborly #payitforward #friendships
Picture
The commentary on the last picture stemmed from my neighbors not liking Mike. It quickly turned to reminiscing and sadness; everyone still misses him deeply. However, if Evil Dave can scrounge up the video of the night Mike got shot in the ass, we have a great night ahead!

The Godfather

Picture
On March 13, 2009, after a ​Pagan Pride meeting, at our favorite bar at the time, I discovered a drink called the Godfather.
Some stories say it was inspired by the famous gangster film of the same name; others say that the Don himself, Marlon Brando, drank it regularly.
The mix I first had was 2:1 - Scotch & Amaretto. I've seen recipes for 1:1 and 16:1 - I'll stick with the 2:1. My deepest thanks to PPD coordinator Peter Bear for the discovery. It's still my go-to beverage.
