VENTING!!!

This is a message I sent to my Bishop. Aren't you glad you ain't him...

Disclaimer: venting I am struggling with this. I was hoping to get people to say they could come at a certain time and then work around that. Now my mom tells me it is supposed to be raining this weekend, but the place is not ready or we could move some things now. The only people to commit to helping are girlfriends... some with babies, some I would have to pick up, some with cars/trucks but no hubbys to move the heavies! Prolly going to have to move things Saturday too...?

I have Institute tomorrow at 6 and another at 7:45. Also Enrichment is making bread, and my friend Dru is having a kareoke party somewhere before he heads north for the summer. I just want to crawl into a hole and come out when its all done! Should I call you, or Nick and make an appointment? Or the elders quorum pres?? Prolly won't get to check my email till tomorrow if then, because I have this big project at work that is taking longer than it should... Coworkers said they could help, but then who is working?! lol!!!

I would tell people something more definite if I knew something more definite! Don't know how long it will take, there are stairs involved, and locations, and schedules, and vehicles, etc... Sorry... venting.

Need to get out of here (work) and get something done.

Mirandom #2 - Internetz Etiquettes

I keep forgetting to update my photos on my other sites. Is it really that bad to have an old photo? What if you had different hair? Is it somehow deceitful to not have a current picture? It IS still my picture, not a cartoon or anything...

What do you think? What is the internet ettiquette?

PHONE FRUSTRATION!!!

Warning: This is a rant. Not particularly interesting or meaningful. Thank you. You have been warned.


I have had more issues with my phone in the last couple of months... View screens dying, not compatible with back ups, sim card gremlins, and now I just spent two hours getting the pictures off my phone! Had to send to phone album site, then email to self - only 3 at a time! - then save to computer, and had to rename them with the dates. All this because the USB connection decided it will show up... sort of. It says there is a 'Removable Drive F' there, but when I click on it, it tells me I need to plug one in! Although, when I first plugged it in, it told me it detected a new device and that it was ready to use!!

Waaaaah! GAAAH! Grr. Argh.

Miranda Writes Random #1

Intro: I have not had a blog in many years. The last time I was regularly blogging was when I was married. Through the divorce and after, it became a war of words not just with him but his new mistress and even people in other countries who felt it necessary to 'chime in' on his behalf. I abandoned my blog and deemed it a negative. However, in the last year or so I have seen how it can be a positive way to communicate thoughts, ideas and other randomness. And since I need a creative outlet that is more stimulating than just watching shows online or spending all day surfing YouTube... here's what you get!

Old movies and modern ideals

I watched a couple of old classics over Easter holiday. Easter Parade and Singing in the Rain. A strange thing popped into my head. I stared at these great beauties of the past - Anne Miller, Judy Garland, Debbie Reynolds - and thought that they looked kind of chubby! As soon as I'd thought it I realized how absurd it was. But I live in a world of size 2's and even 0's as the ideal. Where emaciation is somehow more desired than healthy and fit. Now granted there are those individuals out there who are just tall and thin by nature and my experience is that they wish they COULD gain weight, but the percentage of the actual population is minute!


So what's my point? Well I know that Heavenly Father's Plan of Happiness involved us coming here to receive a body. I know that there were spirits in the pre-earth life that chose to follow Lucifer and cannot come to Earth to recieve this great blessing. I know they are not banished in the Greek sense to some underworld with no influence in ours. In fact, they have greater and greater influence each day! If you were angry about not receiving a body, wouldn't it make sense to try and get anyone who did to believe how hideous it is, to not take proper care of it, to use it for fornication and lascivious pursuits? If you were trying to bring the bodies down...


I may not be a size 2 - not since I WAS two! - but I can be gloriously gorgeous! I am my own kind of beautiful. Heavenly Father values variety, just look around at the fantastic world he created! He doesn't want us to all fit in the same mold, or He would have made us that way! He wants us to love and appreciate each other for our unique talents and personalities, not get stuck on brand names, technology and who has the most toys!
In closing this ramble I want to speak to anyone who has ever thought they were less because of an unfair ideal:


You are beautiful!
You can be anything if you are willing to put forth the effort!
You are worth loving!
You can give love!
You have the opportunity for great things daily!
You can choose to live in light and happiness!
You are loved! I love you, because I know where we all came from and the potential we have. I know my Father loves you, that you are my brother/sister as surly as the sun shines!
May you find your joy!

God Bless!
