They blow to and from
carried by her breeze.
Hearts gush wish after
wish relinquishing each
to a forbidden sky.

Reblogged from CBS DC:

BALTIMORE — At a table in the library of the Maryland Historical Society, an investigator with the National Archives pulls file folder after file folder from a cardboard box and hands them to library director Patricia Dockman Anderson. An FBI agent sits nearby.

Item No. 451: an invitation to meet Vice President Hubert Humphrey in Hawaii in 1966. Item No. 1695: a ticket stub to the 1912 Democratic National Convention.

Butterscotch

Savor the tasty
butterscotch
a minute more
on Sandman’s
watch.

Melt away brown
sugar dreams.
Confections stick
and seal the seams.

Butterscotch is
smooth and sweet,
so take a sample
of that treat.

Fitness is Curative

~Felicia~ — Fri, 17 May 2013 04:19:59 +0000

This afternoon I had a horrible headache. I really started feeling it right before I left work for the day. When I got home, all I wanted to do was lay down and pass out. I tend to over think things and it can really be mentally exhausting. My eyes seriously felt like they were going to pop right out of my head!

I figured I would turn in super early and try to sleep off the pounding headache. Sometimes it’s torture for me to insist on dealing with aches naturally. I put on my headphones and started with some slow music by Tank. While I laid there I realized that a good sweat may be better for the ache. With a flick of the switch~ Fire Hive by Krewella got me up and out the door.

I was so right. A good workout took my headache away. I actually cranked out an awesome outdoor workout using: the wall (stiff legged deadlifts); a scaffold (pushups and pullups); pieces of flagstone (hammer curls and kickbacks); rebar (straight bar curls); a swing set (external hip raises and squats); and a lawn chair (scissors and crunches).

Next time you feel bad, try a workout. Sometimes we need to move in order to feel better. Now I will listen to Tank again and peacefully slip off into dream land. Fitness is indeed curative.

When I Need a Fix Up

~Felicia~ — Thu, 16 May 2013 01:39:37 +0000

I can always depend on Stac to tell me when I need a good fix up. I do appreciate her honesty with regard to that. She likes me to look my best. That woman tells me the truth and she said I was looking rather “librarian.” But I’m an archivist not a librarian! Haha!

She never ceases to impress me with her creative skills. That woman can juggle hair designs on multiple clients, several phone calls, and convo with success. She even rushed me out early because I had to go way out of town to pick D up for an appointment.

Today she decided it was time for me to make a return to blonde ville. She thought I had been brown for long enough. Stac hooked me up with a smashing light blonde to dark brown Ombre. I was happy with the results as always.

Joan Crawford once said “I think that the most important thing a woman can have – next to talent, of course – is her hairdresser.” Sometimes we need to treat ourselves. Sometimes we need to feel fresh again. Apparently sometimes I need to look a little less like a librarian?! I do feel better!

Gym Swag: Gotham City Sirens

~Felicia~ — Tue, 14 May 2013 05:15:41 +0000

The Gotham City Sirens (Harley Quinn, Cat Woman and Poison Ivy)

Tonight I scored two sweet shirts. Last week someone told me that Hot Topic was carrying a shirt featuring my Gotham City Sirens. I had to pick that up right quick~ which was step one. My son gave me a high five on my love of villains! What would be better than a tee shirt with the sirens; Harley Quinn (PhD); Cat Woman; and Poison Ivy (PhD) having a pillow fight? Since the shirts were buy one get one 1/2 off, I had to buy an awesome shirt featuring a smokin’ hot Harley Q. Step two… Time to get a custom shred on those bad girls. Why would I pay 20 for tee shirts just to wear them all proper? As Wolverine would say…”slice -n- dice!!”

A Visit to Villanueva State Park and the San Miguel del Vado National Historic District

~Felicia~ — Sun, 12 May 2013 17:40:37 +0000

Here are some photos from the trip we took yesterday to Villanueva State Park and the San Miguel del Vado National Historic District. This is a great day trip for anyone interested in history, nature and fitness!

“The church at San Miguel del Vado was built in 1806 at the principal vado of the Pecos river on the old Santa Fe Trail. This is where custom taxes on caravans, entering New Mexico, were paid to the Mexican government. The original church is still in use.”

Now I’m off to Tortilla Flats. Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful mommy and my grandma Emily. Today I also remember my grandma Corine and my great grandma Lina.

A Healthy Hike

~Felicia~ — Sun, 12 May 2013 04:21:52 +0000

•~Villanueva State Park Visitor Center~•

Every Sunday we go to the track and eat right. Call it religious! Sunday is usually “get back on track” day. Since I’m meeting my mom and fam for lunch tomorrow I opted for fitness today in exchange.

We spent the day visiting Villanueva State Park. It was a good hike with a lovely ridge top panorama. I am always left in awe by the beauty of my state. On a rather challenging hike for a 7 year old, D didn’t complain once!

I am super tired. After finishing the hike, we walked along the river bank for a while. The weather was nice and moved from cool to hot to cool. Light sprinkles of rain were welcomed and invigorating.

I will close down the night in bed with my iPod. After an adventurous day I’m ready for some smooth beats followed by dream land and heavy Zs.

A Faceless, Fluid Dream

~Felicia~ — Sat, 11 May 2013 04:34:48 +0000

~Moment of Realization~ I gaze in the fish tank right at my bedside each night before I drift off to sleep. This glass dolphin in my tank is a symbol of fluid movement. He is glass. He is clear. He is faceless.

“We awaken when we
realize that the dream
is just a dream. The
dream is fluid and
can change at will.”
