stoney321Some bullet points for your Monday.
THERE IS A DISTINCT HINT OF FALL IN THE AIR. And I like it.
- I had every intention of adding the show "Breaking Amish" to the HDJM lineup. And the longer I watched the first episode last night, the angrier I got. Because WOW are there similarities with my former religion. The control, the closed off from the world community, the "if you leave us, you're going to be cut off from everyone, including God" mentality. So. Can't do it - it would just be me throwing their religion back in their face and grumbling a lot.
- First rule of HDJM: it has to come from a place of love. So. *hands*
- BUT! Hoarders returns tonight! They were able to get clearance to start as scheduled instead of waiting until October. And let me remind you: the organizers are living WITH THE HOARDERS this season. IN THEIR HOUSE. O_O Matt and Corey have gone on and on about how amazing they found it (even if they were totally grossed out at times.) Recap in the A.M.
- It was glorious here in North Texas this weekend, and I spent the vast majority of it outside in my garden, digging up spring bulbs to be divided.
- And now I want to re-do the two front flower beds (the one against the house and the one in front of my walk.) I think I heard my husband whimper. WHATEVER, DUDE. It's not like he has to do anything, pfft. ;D
- I am DETERMINED to be productive today and write.
- I am losing my taste for coffee. <-- SADDEST THING EVER
- (Fortunately I have some fabulous white tea with cranberry and orange and rose that is helping me cope with this strange new world of coffee tasting like cigarette butts.)
THERE IS A DISTINCT HINT OF FALL IN THE AIR. And I like it.

I think it's wise that you aren't recapping the Amish show if it touches on your own personal Mormon issues. Good choice. <3
Yay flowers! Yay writing! YAY, YOU!

Date: 2012-09-10 02:46 pm (UTC)Funny you should mention the Amish show- I was just watching Witness last night. And the reason I was watching it is because my university town is in an extremely Mennonite area- they were the original settlers- and when the foreign exchange students arrived last week, one wanted to go and take pictures of the Old Older Mennonites who still wear old-fashioned clothes, because he'd seen Witness and thought it sounded cool. (I told him not to.) There's actually a visitor's centre in their part of town, St. Jacob's, with a whole mini-museum and documentary aout the Old Order- for the most part they seem pretty chill, but there was this one part in the doc about how women have their place in the home that made me go EURGH.

But she felt that men and women were supposed to be equal and then her cousins barked their breakfast orders at her and I saw red and flew into a rage. LOL.

Date: 2012-09-10 04:42 pm (UTC)One look at TWOP and a reviewer who no longer loves the show is proof enough it's got to come from love.
Fall! I love fall! I had the windows open until I began to sneeze uncontrollably and then have a sore throat. ::rolls eyes::

Date: 2012-09-10 04:54 pm (UTC)Oh, I can't even go to TWoP any more. The whole point seems to be to shit on things over there, and I just don't want that experience.

Tea is still good, THANK GOD. I'd completely lose my West Asian card if I couldn't drink tea

This comment sent a swmbo-signal throughout the Internet and FREAKED ME OUT. What? No. no. I am sure it's just a phase. It'll be ok. IT HAS TO BE.

Date: 2012-09-11 03:17 pm (UTC)SWM IT IS THE SADDEST THING EVER I JUST DON'T EVEN KNOW. I'm buying a whole new machine today and new beans, because IT HAS TO BE THAT. It can't be my mouth, it just CAN'T be.

Date: 2012-09-11 04:00 pm (UTC)Sometimes I have that 'this coffee does not taste like nirvana and unicorn hugs and joy, am I *broken*?!' and usually good beans fixes it. Unless I am sick and potentially dying.

Coffee from the NW

What ever they're doing to the beans during roasting is magical. It's a tiny little roaster near the Oregon Coast (not affiliated with any organized religion that I know of). I would give these guys a try before giving up coffee, if I were you... foshizzle.
