I am getting ready-- for bees-- I need to put the replacement side end onto my bee hive which arrived broken but the part was quickly replaced, and take the hive to Ripley for Queen and nuc installation by Zelma Boggess-- my new best friend.

and I have to do this without Carl-- who I think ran off with someone else’s wife-- he’s 23 and can’t wait to see her! oh no! I will never be able to replace him with his good hard working self.

I’m getting ready for Nationals in Texas-- just ten short weeks away!! oh my! Karate National Championships!!

I’m getting ready for Na’Ua’s fifth birthday-- i need to get the invitation list together and the invitations and the party- cake, balloons, and I got an idea about party favors-- okay that’s very soon and the Pavilion, of course.

And ready for spring- with the garden, and then someone told me there was a frost warning-- I don’t have a green house and I don’t even heat my house when I’m not there, so I do not have the delicious starts that some of my fb friends have, but I am using organic OP seeds that can be saved legally, and I am planting many perennials and I am also considering natural farming the rest of the property with seedballs-- i really hope I can do that this year!! especially with re-seeding herbs like dill, arugula, parsley...

And there is the Rabbit Show in Columbus, Ohio tomorrow where I hope to hang out with Keith Brown, the famous big bunny dude, and sell some FG and get as much knowledge as humanly possible from the FG Legend. 

And next weekend is the Mineral Wells show featuring UARC, Blennerhasset BRA and my own club (well-- it’s not MY club, but I am a member), Southern WVRBA and it should be a HOOT-- we will be auctioning off some pretty kits from ARR (Appalachian Rain Rabbitry #D506-- we are official now) and also selling some choice rabbits in a silent auction-- so lots of rabbits at incredible prices! come on down!  haha  they asked me to put one of my pure angora hand knitted scarves into the dollar raffle and I almost choked-- I am targeting a different market for those  :)

anyway, I’m okay.. I cried watching the tornado warnings over Alabama.  I cried a little when I dislocated my shoulder last night, and I could cry looking at the scales-- and the prices of gas are just going up and the news is about Obama’s placenta??

Jesse posted some article about Real Women and what that means-- empty clothes basket? what?

so to sum up my blog today-- a real woman:

1. 1.has her own relationship with GOD
   

2. 2.has her own money
   

3. 3.makes her own best decisions
   

4. 4.knows how to care for herself (and her children if she has/wants children, and her parents, if she still has parents)
   

5. 5.stays responsive to her own needs and the needs of others in her circle of concern
