What the hell?

You know how sometimes you look at something, then look again and go 'WTF?'

I had one of those moments this morning.

Just so you know, my efforts to 'be completely present in every moment' are resulting in me noticing some things that for some reason I wouldn't normally notice. Don't mock me, I'm working on myself and sometimes the results are startling.

Anyway, I was almost to work, just a traffic light away, and found myself behind an older Chevy SUV..maybe a Tahoe, but more like a smaller Suburban. It was a deep metallic blue at some point, now faded to almost a sky blue, and the windows were darkened...not completely blacked out, but someone tinted them.

On the back window was one of those stick figure family things, and from what I could tell, there was a Daddy, a Mommy, a little girl, a little boy, and dog and cat in their family.

And now is when things get a little weird(er).  This is when my eyes travel to the right, and see that on that side of the back window are three bullet holes. And beneath those, on the metal part beneath the window (tailgate, I guess?) are 8 more.

That's ELEVEN bullet holes, people! ELEVEN!

Who in the hell do you piss off to get that result? And what is the rest of the story? I watch Breaking Bad, so of course I'm assuming this was a drug deal gone bad, or that someone pissed off a local gang and barely got away with their POS blue SUV and their life.

There was also a '$' on the tailgate, on the left side above the name of the original car dealer. I'm not sure what that means, but since I watch Breaking Bad and stuff, I assumed it was some kind of message for buyers or whomever...but I'm not cool enough to really understand what it means and I really don't care to circulate with people who would know.

Apparently I have a fair amount of chickenshit survivor instinct in me to not pursue this further.

The light turned green, we made our left turn, and as I accelerated to get out of the noxious fumes emanating from the dual, chrome exhaust pipes of this vehicle...I noticed three more bullet holes in the side window.

Really?

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

What do you wear in Austin in October??

It's suppose to be in the 80's during the day, and only in the 70's at night. It's humid. I'm not sure what to pack. For once I'm attending a conference instead of having a booth at the tradeshow and networking that way. It's going to be good...to be in the classroom, listening to what people are caring about now. I look forward to it. But I'm spending way too much time worrying about whether jeans are too hot, capris are too cliche, clogs are passe, should I just go with a theme and be done with it, and all that crap. Seriously, you'd think I have better things to waste mental energy on, right? Apparently not so much.

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly...
