Cheating

I'm cheating on my post today because I'm just posting a pic and the link to the rest of them. I only am updating the finished rooms, or at least the ones that are close to finished. I am in LOVE with the family room. By far my favorite room in the house.




It has in a weird way become a tad southwestern. Only because in our packing Brian found an old print of an Indian princess that I absolutely love. I never did anything with it and always thought the wooden frame was hideous. Well it hideously matched my fireplace mantle. So when I took it out of the box and realized it is the only thing left in a frame that isn't broken (Thanks to Lurch & Eurkle my ever cautious movers) There is a nice hook over the fireplace mantle, so up it went. Then I unpacked my f aux pottery that I painted at a diy pottery shop many moons ago. Toss in an Indian blanket and voila.

The rest of the pics are posted in my gallery. Click the scrapbook link in the upper right of this blog.

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective             In “ Color Struck ,” Zora Neale Hurston (2005) illustrates the tragedy of a couple in the 1900’s.  John, a light brown-skinned man, and Emma, a black woman, attend a cake walk to represent their community and bring home the grand prize.  Emma is so preoccupied with her misguided ideas of the prejudices of others that she inadvertently sabotages her relationship with John.  Her paranoia and insecurity run so deep, that they remain with her for 20 years and ultimately ruin her opportunity for true love a second time.  Exploring a work of literature from a p sychoanalytical perspective “aim to reveal the influence of the subconscious in the text’s plot, setting, conflict, symbols, point of view, language, and character development (South University Online, 2010, para. 1). From this perspective it is revealed that the prejudice that Emma accuses everyone e...

Confused..

(repost from May 2010) I have been wondering lately.  What happened to the days when people actually gave a shit about how their actions or words would effect others?  Does anyone think outside their own existence anymore? I have a temper.  Hell most of us do to some extent.  I have learned via trial and error how to keep it in check.  I have learned that sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.  Especially when I am pissed off.  Anger never translates to reason and understanding.   When I start to do something, I often ask myself how it will effect people.  Am I going to step on toes or hurt feelings.  Is it going to make me look like a total douche bag??  I have always been the type to "try" to filter my thoughts before I blurt or react. I know that I have stopped myself from things based on the answers to the above questions.  Sometimes stopping myself helps spare others while in turn hurting me. Typ...

Long week...

It has been a long week.  One foot in front of the other...one moment at a time.  That is how I have learned to plow through this proverbial roller coaster of life. Disappointed to be going on vacation with out my Love. Excited to be getting to go on vacation. Sad to be away from hubs while traveling. Ecstatic to get solid quality face to face with sissy. Frustrated that my health has so much control over my life. Blessed to be alive to face these challenges. Annoyed at work related BS that effects my financial well being and having no control over it. Thankful to have a job. Its a balance....
