-Just Another Stick Shifter

Greetings From WalMart

*as reported by Monstergue*

To all the Beth fans out there, a status report. Beth is in WalMart in WEst-Central Illinois buying gloves as her hands are freezing (told her it was cold.) She has officially learned to drive a stick shift and no longer kills it taking off from red lights. She ran into a bit of fog which has put her behind schedule but she should be here around noon thirty. More news as it comes in…….Thank you for watching, now back to your regularly scheduled show.

On my Way… soon!

This is the last chance I will have to write until I get to Bobbi’s. I have packed some jewelry stuff, some art stuff, a lot of sweaters, hiking boots, a few t shirts, about five dozen long sleeve shirts and a pair of socks.

I realized that the Jetta has an ac plug so I can play movies that are funny that I have downlaoaded… like blazing saddles and airplane (dont worry I wont be WATCHING THEM… but they are funny to listen to, and they pass the time. i have music, I have comedy…

A friend once asked me what if I was cut off for a while? we are about to find out.. i bet i make friends with every truck stop attendant from here to cowtown…

wish me luck and G-d… look after my little car as it makes its way to a friends abode!

with love,

Beth

Packing anxiety

I have always been this collosal amazing packer. That is probably because I have to have every single item of clothing clean before i start packing. i have to see all my choices and be able to pick from there. now i have seventeen million clean shirts and i cant for the life of me figure out which to take. I am deviding them in layered sections. small ones that can go under bigger ones, and megium ones that just get worn alone, and small ones that get worn alone… (but not on trips to bobbi’s house)

I need to remember to stop and get a warm hat and some gloves before I leave also. Shannon also suggested i get some socks… what are socks?

The big day

well here it is thursday around 1pm. and I finally slept after my sort of weepy rant about how pathetic I am last night. I am gonna be counting on the bobster to gimme some much needed home cookin’ (with the sea salt in the trunk).

Sadly I am not packed, but I dont feel an urgency considering I am driving… and all I really need is clothes. I have a backpack that has all my hemp (for travelling) jewelry stuff, my violin takes no room, a few little canvases… I dont think I am bringing paint but I have a ton of paint pens and markers and those are just as fun… I burned two cd’s from the laptop and figure if i get really desperate I can pull over and burn some more (I have a bunch that i actually have in a collection.

Broadway music all the way.

Dear G-d,

watch over me while I drive. Watch over me whie I trek out to bobbi’s house in search of a greater poultry experience. Please dont force me to learn to cook from her G-d…

G-d.. please let my flashes be under control while driving and when i am there. They are MY handicap on this earth, and let them not stop me from doing anything that i ever wanted to do.

I have driven all over this united states. 12-14 hours is nothing for me.

Please G-d see that I make it safely.

Amen

River Lullabye-from Prince of Egypt

Hush now my baby be still love dont cry

sleep as you’re rocked by the stream

sleep and remember my lullabye

I’ll be with you when you dream.

Drift on a river that flows through my arms

drift as I’m singing to you

I see you smiling so peaceful and calm

holding you I’m smiling too

here in my arms safe from all harm

holding you I’m smiling too

hush now my baby be still now dont cry

sleep as youre rocked by the stream

sleep and remember this river lullabye

I’ll be with you as you dream

here in my arms safe from all harm

holding you I’m smiling too.

sleep and remember this river lullabye

I’ll be with you when you dream

sleep and remember this river lullabye

I’ll be with you when you dream…

I’ll be with you when you dream

How did I get here?

I am sitting here, 29 year old woman with two young kids. How did I get here in my life? how did I get to where I cry myself to sleep because if fear and pain? How did I get to a point where i constantly subject myself to having my opinion clobbered over and over. How did I ever learn to feel so horribly about myself, even though I try and help people… and love people.

Part of me really wants to love christopher. I dont love him though. Part of me wants to love him for the same reason I take in “strays”. He is another human who’s been hurt by the world. and I feel for him. But when do I start to feel for me? who takes me in? When do I give myself half the consideration and love that i give to other people? and HOW HOW HOW????

I hate coming on here and admitting that the comedian who actually thinks five pairs of maroon shoes is funny is blubbering rying.. scared and wondering what to do with my life next. I am co dependant on chris to survive, but at what expense?

How did I get here in my life? I want to be loved, and also loved intimately. I want to be hugged and cuddled and rocked to sleep and fear nothing. Instead I lay here night after night alone, crying again, wondering what it was that I did wrong. What did I do wrong?

The Rose

“Some say love it is a river

that drowns the tender reed

Some say love, it is a razor

that leaves your soul to bleed

some say love, it is a hunger

an endless aching need,.

I say love it is a flower,

and you it’s only seed.

It’s the heart afraid of breaking,

that never learns to dance

It’s the dream afraid of waking

that never takes the chance

it’s the one who won’t be taken

who can not seem to give

and the soul afraid of dying

that never learns to live

When then night has been too lonely

and the road has been too long

and you think that love is only

for the lucky and the strong

just remember in the winter

far beneath the bitter snow

lies the seed that with the sun’s love

in the spring… becomes the rose.”

Technically morning

I hope my finger isnt broken. Chris and I got into another scuffle and the things is, well he is 6 ft tall and i am 5’4 and a half… he wins. I am so tired even though it’s only 12:30 at night. I feel like it’s beena million years since i slept.

I ordered pizza, but when i went to get some the dogs had eaten it. Helen spread my salad around onthe floor. I am not going to the emergency room for this finger.

My dreams are getting to me, chris is getting to me, I want to crawl under a rock. I am sure Bobbi cant wait to see me.

Chris and Beth -round 7 million

We yell, we fight, we end up in a heap on the floor trying to hurt the other one, or keep the other one from hurting us, he tells me he loves me, his actions speak far far different words.

Learning to understand the language of action is painful. It is so much easier tobelieve I am loved than to see that what someone says to be true is but a momentary myth designed to get through from one moment to the next.

The feelings are unbearable. I need to run away.
