Dreaming
A friend of mine sent me an article she had written about dreaming. How dreams are so important in our lives. And without them, what keeps us going? Of course she wrote it in such prose and elegance...unlike my 'speak without thinking' style. But it sure got me to thinking. Am I following my dreams? Am I keeping my dreams in a protective place where no one can crush them (as she wrote)? If I were to answer that a couple years ago, I would have had to say No. And yes. I was hiding my dream/s and keeping them safe where no one could tell me they were ridiculous and unworthy. But last year -- the Real NitaB emerged and quit caring if anyone thought she was stupid, or crazy or out of her everlovin mind. She'd always been all of those things, but no longer was it necessary to stifle any of that to conform to anyone's standards. And to be honest... the strictest standards were in my own whacked out mind. I was being who I thought I was expected to be. Or something. Heck, who knows? Who cares? What you see now - is who I've really always been... just more Out There Livin Free and Tossing Caution (most of it) to the wind. I'm still not brave enough to wear my Fun clothes in public. Much. I sneak out in a pair of leggings once in a while if I'm going out of town where no one knows me... Baby Steps, as my friend Carolyn used to always tell me. But I sometimes break into dance in a store (if I think no one is looking... but secretly thinking that if anyone Does see... Lucky them.) Cause This Girl Can bust a move alright!!! Hahahaha.... I seat dance in my car. Even at red lights, and wave at those around me. Some of them wave back. Coolness!! Some of them pretend they weren't looking. I always hope that no one that knows me, sees me having fun. I mean... they could kick in the gears towards having me committed. I'm scared of that. In the hooky house... I'd have competition. I like being a Solo Act. Oh My Gosh........ this has turned into quite the ramble. Sorry. I'm just in a good mood right now and that equals Ramble. Anyway ---
Point is, and yes, there was supposed to be a point... It is ok to LIVE your dreams. Cause if anyone doesn't like them, that's ok. It is YOUR dream. None of their bizz. Don't keep them buried in a safe place. Bring them out and Live them! I'm telling ya -------- it's a whole new world when you do!!!! I know more and more people that hit their 50's and let their hair down. Cause they are "old" now. People expect oddness from the elderly, right? I hope so. Cause I'm going with that theory Full Tilt!! Who's with me on this???!!!

Writer's Life
Gosh... I've been so busy writing in my "books" that I forgot to write out here. Sorry.
Currently working on a book for Newcomers to the world of eBay. It's such a fun "job" that I want everyone to do it!! Just makes my day when I sell something for an amazing price! Today I sold a game that I paid $1 for. Made $16 on it. That's small potatoes compared to a sale I made a couple months ago when I sold a Halloween costume for $60, that I paid $2 for. And once I sold a Hallmark Ornament for almost $200.... paid a quarter. I could go on........ but instead, I wrote a book, to try to get More people hooked on eBay! Wait.............. that could end up creating competition for me... what Was I thinking? Oh well, what's done is done. Now to get it out to Amazon and press on with Lily's books. She keeps sitting on the keyboard... reminding me that I haven't put HER books out yet. So much to do, so little time.......... :)
Yesterday a friend of mine from high school sent me an email. Haven't heard from her in a while, so that was Very nice. But the email... it was soooo publishable. I mean - now THERE is some writing talent. I wanted to read More! I need to check into being her publisher. I need to get in on that money-wagon-in-the-making!!!
And speaking of 'in the making'... I Made some Healthy "Velveeta" the other day. It was EASY. (or I wouldn't have been making it!) and it tasted Better than Velveeta cause it was made with Real Cheese. And NO chemicals. I used mild cheddar. I think I'd prefer another type of cheese. I'm going to try some gouda next (only because I already have some.) Anyway --- all you do is use some cheese, and some gelatin, and some milk.. That is IT! If I wasn't in a lazy mood right now, I'd go look it up for you. Oh, ok.... hang on....

There ya go. Give it a try. And let me know what cheeses you try, cause I want to make more and different kinds. I'm going to try to add some garlic, and maybe some lemon... or something. Jazz it up. Ruin it probably. I oftentimes end up adding weird things and ruining stuff. But I press on anyway.......... I do what I do!! Be glad you don't have to live with me!!
