Nice – Trying for a photo insert with text wrapping to see how that goes.

Evie the evil Evelyn

This pic is close to three years old.  I shudder to think of how many places this avatar is scattered around the Internet representing me, Evie the evil Evelyn.  When I first took the name I had been Evie and Evelyn and Evie again … but it just seemed so plain – specially since it was nearing Samhain (Halloween ) But name with the ability to easily be remembered … Evie the evil Evelyn … Fit like a charm

Now my issue is the fact I literally have this pic 100’s of places.  I have a little over a month until the pic IS three years old.  That will be my goal date for updating the avatar pic of Evie the evil Evelyn or 2emc

I’m everywhere ~ I’m everywhere … but that also seems to be part of the issue … trying to think of analogy the other day as to what type of focus factor I have I came up with the analogy of – I have the focus factor of fairy dust – my daughter thought I’d hit it on the head.  But SERIOUSLY ~ fairy dust focus power can be a good thing … I just have to figure out what that good thing is

Lovin’ It   Everyday is a brand new day ~ we can not change anything of the past, and anything in this precise moment in time may not change a future, BUT we can take each present moment and be IN it to make it the best IT can be.  Enough moments spent being, doing, striving toward your personal best … Like a high jumper strives to fly just a millimeter higher with each jump, so shall we be able to if we but strive to do our best in every precious moment.

Eating well has been something that has gone out the window, as well as walking and then exercising with the fun stuff going on right now.  The police said to not let the threats keep me from the stuff I love to do – I DO think I like living better than any of the other alternatives … BUT … if while one is living, but they are dying a slow death – what does that mean?  ARE they really living?

Just more thoughts I am thinking while I am writing this blog and working with pictures to see how they integrate into the overall scheme of things.

Hmmm … from what I am seeing – I must needs to get my rear back in gear.  I’ve been *off* for far too long.

Procrastination can easily creep in and become a habit. Once it does, it erodes your capacity to function effectively.  It can also be one of the hardest habits to break.  However, with some honest self-assessment and an organized and attainable plan of attack, procrastination CAN be overcome successfully.

Be gentle with yourself when you decide to kick the procrastination habit.  It may be so ingrained you don’t even fully recognize all the ways you actually procrastinate.  Start by taking a large or complicated tasks and breaking them down into smaller parts that you can accomplish easier.  It’s important to bear in mind that even the most difficult or complex of tasks are simply just a series of smaller tasks.

Make a verbal commitment to someone else about improving your time management skills and your desire to avoid procrastinating. Allow others to become involved in your efforts by reviewing your progress, helping you set deadlines or evaluating your results can be very helpful.  This will most likely create a commitment on your part to fulfill the expectations they’ve set for you.

Sit down and map out a plan to manage your time more effectively.  When a deadline is looming, make sure you allot time each day to work on the project so it doesn’t sneak up on you in the final hours or days.  Learn to ask for help when you’re feeling overwhelmed or overworked.

Reward yourself for good behavior and accomplished goals.  Don’t wait until you’ve accomplished your ultimate goal,  reward yourself for your successes along the way.  Make sure the reward is something you like to do.  Treat yourself to the newest book by your favorite author and take the time to read it.  Indulge in bubble baths or relaxing music.  If you’ve gotten into the habit of working late, make sure you develop a new habit of going home on time each night.

By making a commitment to avoid the avoiding habit, you’ll soon be well on your way to finding more time and find yourself more relaxed and productive and less stressed in the process.

Great … I lost another day … and am not only behind … two days – but three …. cheese … uh … is that how I ended my last blog … ?  yikes and shut the front door

(-: I will come back and edit as needed … And on with the show

1 – My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2 – Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 – Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
4 – Say unto wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman:
5 – That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words.
6 – For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7 – And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
8 – Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
9 – In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
10 – And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
11 – (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
12 – Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
13 – So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said unto him,
14 – [I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
15 – Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16 – I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt.
17 – I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 – Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
19 – For the goodman [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey:
20 – He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed.
21 – With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22 – He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
23 – Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it [is] for his life.
24 – Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 – Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26 – For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong [men] have been slain by her.
27 – Her house [is] the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 7

Another Warning about Immoral Women
1 Follow my advice, my son;
always treasure my commands.
2 Obey my commands and live!
Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.*
3 Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.
Write them deep within your heart.

4 Love wisdom like a sister;
make insight a beloved member of your family.
5 Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman,
from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman.

6 While I was at the window of my house,
looking through the curtain,
7 I saw some naive young men,
and one in particular who lacked common sense.
8 He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman,
strolling down the path by her house.
9 It was at twilight, in the evening,
as deep darkness fell.
10 The woman approached him,
seductively dressed and sly of heart.
11 She was the brash, rebellious type,
never content to stay at home.
12 She is often in the streets and markets,
soliciting at every corner.
13 She threw her arms around him and kissed him,
and with a brazen look she said,
14 “I’ve just made my peace offerings
and fulfilled my vows.
15 You’re the one I was looking for!
I came out to find you, and here you are!
16 My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,
with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
17 I’ve perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.
Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses,
19 for my husband is not home.
He’s away on a long trip.
20 He has taken a wallet full of money with him
and won’t return until later this month.*”

21 So she seduced him with her pretty speech
and enticed him with her flattery.
22 He followed her at once,
like an ox going to the slaughter.
He was like a stag caught in a trap,
23 awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.
He was like a bird flying into a snare,
little knowing it would cost him his life.

24 So listen to me, my sons,
and pay attention to my words.
25 Don’t let your hearts stray away toward her.
Don’t wander down her wayward path.
26 For she has been the ruin of many;
many men have been her victims.
27 Her house is the road to the grave.*
Her bedroom is the den of death.
