How long do you take in the shower?
Submitted by Strive2Be.

Hmm..depends on who's in the shower...lol Usually, I'm not a real long shower taker, probably because I'm a mom and usually last to shower and theres no hot water! But there are days when I take my time and do all the stuff, shave, buff and exfoliate...and lots of lotion afterwards.

QotD: Favorite Time of Day

nobody@vox.com(Ankhesena) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:29:13 -0700

What's your favorite time of day and why?

My favorite time of the day is about half and hour before sunset. The sky is beautiful, it usually begins to cool down and it seems the world around me begins to quiet and get ready for the nights journey. Sitting outside, reading or sipping tea, maybe a fire in the firebowl, and the peace watching the sun rest in the west.

QotD: Flag Day

nobody@vox.com(Ankhesena) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 09:39:57 -0700

What does your flag mean to you?

Freedom, Fight, Future...The blue to me stands for the freedom we share, because its a dark color, the honor and nobility of our country. Red of course for the Fight, past and present to hold that freedom, the blood of heros and just the everyday joes that fight the fight to keep us a nation of free thinkers, and allow us the freedom to speak our minds and hearts, to practice our beliefs, to unite when needed. White, for the future, it's purity unstained and waiting, that we hold that future for our nation's greatness as an open minded, free thinking, nation, able to help others in need and allow them their rights as they so wish.

Having a pity party!

nobody@vox.com(Ankhesena) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:45:11 -0700

I'm having a pity party for myself. I know I shouldn't but everyone deserves one once in awhile. I'm nervous, worried and hurting. I injured my knee several years back, ( I was clipped offsides at a high school football game), I hurt my kneecap about a year after that, and got clipped from the other side by a sheep! Its bothered me off and on for all this time. I saw an orthopedic doctor, a few years ago, he suggested physical theraphy and hopefull that would help. Now, I'm hurting. It doesn't hurt badly or as the nurses say from 1-10, 10 being unbearable, its about a 8, more than a nagging toothache. lol...my pity party is...well, my husband, hurt his in Feb, I babied him around til his surgery and after. Drove him here and there, helped him put his d*mned undies on even. Tomorrow I go to the surgeon to see what they will do, have to have x-rays, already have the MRI. And do you think he could with me?? Its my right knee, kills me to drive, think he could? oh no...he's busy...so I have to go do it all by myself. Now, usually I'm pretty self relient. I can do most anything, but I'm hurting, scared and I feel like after I boobed him along for 8 weeks or more, the least he could do would be to drive me to the doctor. So, tea is served, with chocolates...I'm going to wallow awhile!
