I've not done a Top 10 list yet. Therapy hasn't been my cup of tea. I'll give it a try though. I've found that pharms help much more. That's just me.

 

let's get it! » Mission7

i mean get on the 10 list. it seriously helps me out when i'm feeling down, jsut to list things that are going good in my life. coffee is usually my first on the list.

sorry therapy isn't helping you. i know when i sw my last one, she caused me severe anxiety (grrrrrr!!!!!~), so i quit going. why bother paying someone to agrivate me, when i can find so many other FREE ways to become hostile? :)

the meds help me a whole lot too. thank goodness for meds, though some of the side effects really stink!

get on that 10 list dear! i'm sure i can help you to start one...

10. mission7 is highly intelligent.
9. you are trying to be a better person everyday, and that's really a gREAT accomplishment!
8. you got out of bed today, right? sometimes that's very hard to do.
7. you're posting on my FAVORITE board!!! YAHOO!! i get to talk to you!!!

you finish it....

take care,
kk

6. I love coffee
5. I can rely on pharms if need be
4. I'm very charming and people enjoy my company
3. I have an awsome dog that really loves me and a cat that likes me enough to stick around for observation.
2. I'm not dead.
1. Soon, this freezing cold will be gone.

Not very uplifting, for sure. But, it's a start.

It sure is a start, and I'll try a list of my own...

10 Half-caf coffee - as long as it's good stuff - is great at starting my day
9 Found oodles of free podcasts with guided meditations, 'cause I can't find the way myself
8 Annual GYN appnt over with for another year, yahoo!
7 Actually LOST WEIGHT over the past year, another yahoo!
6 I'm exhausted, have to catch my breath for a moment
5 I'm able to read books at the moment (never thought I'd have to make thanks for being able to do this, but I do, because sometimes you lose this!)
4 I'm READY for this weekend's antique fair and the official debut of my business. I guess, at this point, the website doesn't count because nobody's really noticed??
3 Pedicures and having someone else take all the nasty stuff away from from your feet is well worth it! Hear! Hear!
2 I STILL love my perm - guess that's true sign of being middle-aged, but I'll sign any pledge put before me.
1 Babble and all that goes with it.

Thanks, KK - as ever, you are an inspiration.

sorry, it's jsut something i say all the time, since it rhymes! your list is super duper! wanna get married? (you'll have to wait until toph and i get married and divorced, of course, but that shouldn't take too long. i go through men like underpants dear!)

here's mine!!!

10. ducky got a bath and i got to spray him several times with a toy. though he loves it, it's still a bit of payback for him being a butt sometiems :)

9. box of instant brownies in the cabinet, jsut waiting for me to cook them. i even have eggs and oil, which are essentail to makiong instant brownies. please do not try to make them without these ingredietns, or they will look like duckie's diaper!

8. i really need an instant spell check on my compyter. seriously, people must think i'm doign drugs or something, with the wya i type. it's pretty awful, BUTT!!! the upside is that i rarely get bad feedback on myu horrible typing skills and my laziness fo rnot goign back and correcting it! YAHOO to people who dont criticize!!!

7. my mother told me i was 'such a good mother' simply because i had a snack waiting for duckie, while he was asleep. i realize when he awakes form a nap, he's usually hungry, so i try to have a snack ready and wiating for him when he awakes. it's awesome that my mother said 'you're so cool. a nd such a great mother' sinply because i think ahead (hey, i'm neurotic!! but, i guess in her eyes that makes me a good (NO GREAT!!) mother! AWESOME DAWSON!

6. my son is trained to put his bowls in the sink! yahoo! i have a tiny little slave, that i can make put my bowl in the sink when i'm done eating! here's to trianing children at a young age!!!

5. coffee. we've got some cheap stuff in the cabinet, that mister kk drinks beforew work. but, i have some decent coffee that i've ground and have wiating for when i wake up!! yahoo to coffee and tht 'jump start' i desperately need when waking to 'waaaaaaaaa!!!!!' first thing in the morning! yahoo coffee!!!

4. smokes. yes, i'm writing it again. yahoo to smokes! what would i do without you (other than be albe to run form cops (ok, i can still do that, if i need to. actually, my friends call me 'chetara' because when i see a cop coming, my first reaction is to run like the wind!!).. what was i saying again? oh yeah, smokes! so, i can't run for pleasure (who in the hell runs for pleasure anyway? those people need to up their meds, seriously!!!), but i can smoke a cigarette like it's no body's business!

3. ryan adams. his music is wonderful, beautiful, magnificant. oh, and god, he's adorable! that's all i listen to currently, and that's all i need to listen to, me thinks!

2. dancing. i can't dance. seriously, i'm that person, when you go out to a bar or club, that everyone's making fun of. yeah, that's me! that's why i usually don't dance in front of people, unless i've got alcohol running through my veins. but, at my new place, i find i'm dancing all the time (unless of course, i catch a glimpse of how silly i look in the mirror and i quickly sstop dancing!).

1. little jackets! no, i'm serious! i wear little jackets all the time. they're great for winter time, when it's cold, but you just REALLY have to wear that sleaveless shirt. you can, if you throw a little jacket over top! yahoo to little jackets!!!!

i know exactly what you mean!!!

i remember crying because i was so depressed i couldn't even read a bukowski book (hey, that's a pretty easy read!). depression is really rough, especially when it takes away your ability to do those things that you really really enjoy (like reading!)!

i really do know exactly what you mean and i'm so happy you're able to read! yahoo to you!

about them pedicures... i just can't do it. no matter how hard i've tried, i jsut can't get the courage to take off my shoes an dsocks and let someone else touch, clean, LAUGH AT my feet! (and i know they would. first they'd laugh, then theyd grimace when they had to actually touch them.. blechy, can you tell i'm a 'footphobe'?

hopefull, one day i'll get the courage to let someone else touch my feet. but, i don't see it happenig any time soon!

take care of yoruself, and i hope the antique fair goes well for you. sell LOTS of stuff, so you can send me some money, honey :)

I always got Ryan Adams confused with Brian Adams (Cut's Like a Knife). At first, I didn't know there was a difference and I couldn't figure out why everyone was all the sudden going ga ga over an 80's singer. I would say to people, "I don't get it."

I just discovered Bukowksi last year (after reading about him many times here, of all places). Babble contributes to my education - yay! Say, have you ever seen "Bukowski: Born Into This"? Great documentary about his life - you can rent it.

I was a teensy bit ticklish during my pedicure yesterday and meant to ask my girl whether anyone has ever whacked her in the face with their foot in reflex, but I didn't want to scare her.

my brother in law has it, but i haven't borrowed it yet. (i mean the bukowski documentary) i really want to see it though.

i often wonder if people who do pedicures get kicked a lot... my brother in law once tried to suck on my sister's toes, and she kicked him in the face (as a reflex, i think?). i wonder if that ever happens to pedicurists? (getting kicked in the face, not sucking on toes :)

yuck ot all of it.. this 'feet' talk is making my belly hurt!

i'm crossing my fingers for you as well hun! hope you sell lots of stuff!

yucky to feet,
kk

It's been a long long long long time since i've seen that. Been meaning to rent it again sometime, but always seem to pass it up.

There was a guy I knew (he passed), we'll call 'em BG. He would always remind me of BarFly. He would always yell, "Gimme 5 dollas for a pack a cigarette you dumb mother f***er!" What a case. I went to his funeral-that was a sight-and he actually had more color in the coffin than in real life. There are more stories about that guy... He would get beat up all the time.

Is "Factotum" starring Matt Dillon. He's just fantastic in it, plays a character based on Bukowski himself. Lily Taylor is in it too; she's great.

A real "feel good" film, in a Charles Bukowski kind of way.

Looks good. Have to check it out.

Speaking of Matt Dillon, have your ever seen Feast? It's a monster movie where these people are trapped in a bar. (I think maybe Matt Dillon produced it, or something.) Normally, I'm not too excited about monster movies, but this one is really funny and hip. Sort of like Pulp Fiction meets Shawn of the Dead meets Alien meets Rob Zombie meeets Everybody Loves Raymond. (I made the Everybody Loves Raymond part up)
