Dozer Guy got his check. I survived nite 8 of 9. I can do this. I did get a bit whiny towards the end but think a shower will fix it. ordered a September Doll from You Do Voodoo. Myrtle is the perfect companion to the ghost doll I got at Haunted Omaha. what did I name that one? Ghostleigh maybe?
Gramma knows Millie smiles are worth waiting for!
I know he wasn't afraid. he was a Shaman and I am so glad I got to meet him and be a part of a drum circle with him. a very special person.
"I'm as nervous as a whore in church" whenever I do bank stuff. I am a farm kid, and I have a long history of overdrawing checking accounts. it's the same feeling I get when a patrol car follows me for a bit. I just know I'm doing something wrong, and they're gonna figure it out.... I was just getting into the safety deposit box to deposit some very very very old hoarded cash (inherited) into our checking account to pay for some very overdue dozer work that that cash really could've been used for....along with fixing a bathroom and a bunch of other stuff that was overlooked as the years went by. that's what it's being used for now, anyway. I had my off the shoulder sweatshirt and my capri jeans and my tousled hair, feeling very much like a woman of leisure. but in a few hours the hair goes into a bun and I'll be the convenience store employee working her 7th nite out of 8. I normally have black circles under my eyes anyway. they may be a bit more pronounced. and I don't pancake over them, I just let them shine. the job is really cutting into my reading time....what am I reading you might ask? Billy Summers by Stephen King. because I am a faithful reader. although I've been told he doesn't write all his own books anymore. and his writing style has changed as the years go by. but we all mature and grow in different ways. no one is the same person today they were yesterday.
maybe they're not dressed like you'd expect a Survivalist Family to be dressed, but you pick up what you can. Maybe the neighbor a few ridges over gives you clothes her kids outgrowed. and you hit the thrift store on your rare trips into town. not a lot of time to make clothes from scratch when you're the mother of 4 living rough. and Randy's hand....guessing he tangled with a bear. or an ax. here are Randy and Vicki with their children Sara, 16; Samuel, 14; Rachel, 10; and Elisheba, 10 months. I know they had a dog who was killed in the standoff. but I'm giving them 3.
cause all these little moments strung together day by day make up a life....
of course she is wearing a cloth diaper. her parents are survivalists.
she has a practical ponytail and hair framing her face. a bit of makeup because a Barbie always looks her best. a comfortable sturdy chambray shirt. her green jeans act as camoflauge. and her black boots have just enough heel to help her gain traction in mountain weather. I based her on the Laura Dern portrayal. I found a baby Elisheba, need to make her a diaper and maybe a dress. I think Randy just has boots right now. work in progress, people. A work in progress. I could go all out and make 16 year old Sara, 14 year old Samuel. and 10 year old Rachel. and a dog. but I digress. here was a mother doing what she thought was right for her family. she lost her life in the stand off. this is one of those situations that makes people not trust "The Laws". a situation that escalated horribly out of control and ended tragically.
mayor called them to Helper, Utah. Renovations. Dark History. Butch Cassidy stopped there multiple times. Zak interacts with young fans. where did they find those shirts? I. want. one. and I bet Tracy does, too!
the bowling alley is haunted. owner attacked by spirit with a tray to the head. "You can't convince someone that doesn't believe what you saw. You saw what you saw." "Billy! Billy! Come here! Feel the cold!" a young girl named Olive. Zak won her a mini candybar in the claw machine.
quick question: has Zak investigated in flannel before? hold the phone....the old speak easy is haunted, too! "Whoa, dude, something touched my fuckin' head!" Zak hears a growl, one of the guys off camera hears the growl, then the guest investigator says she heard it, too.... it's freezing. the guys are wearing long sleeves and pants and hats. Miss Guest is wearing something lacy with short sleeves. looks like a short short dress with tall boots. and fingerless gloves. I wear comfy clothes on investigations...you know. hoodies & sweats if it's cold...a tshirt and shorts if it's hot. guys, I don't care what I feel hit me, I. am. not. lifting. my. shirt. up. to. show. anyone. a. red. mark. that's between me and the occasional accidental glance in the mirror after a shower. Billy is a much braver person than I. Aaron ran away from the investigation. construction guy found bones under concrete today.....Greek Mafia. damn. is someone testing these bones? A Circle of Energy Experiment. Vincent is getting some spirit attention. moving light anomalies that are not insects or dust. "Aaron and I feel lethargic so we decide to investigate remotely from the car." pure genius. I get tired, too. usually I just plop my ass or if that isn't an option, I lean. but I'm not a professional, mind you. I have a lot to learn.
unexplained footsteps. unexplained voices. unexplained noises. unexplained light anomalies. Vincent's name on the Spirit Box. spirit throwing shit at Jay. come on, spirit. Jay is one of the good ones. "What was that???" "Did you hear that???" "Yeah, I heard that." the most unusual SLS figure we have ever seen. we've switched gears and switched buildings, Zak's energy is recalibrating. using the Lidar. (no idea how to spell it...sounds like LIE Dar. ) tapping. lets throw a gutter ball. what is that over there? on the Lidar? a heat signature? heat means a living person. whhhhhaaaaattttttt????? Billy searches the building. all doors locked. no living person found.
sure I have an old doll with long black hair and pinched face......
also found Richard Rameriz and his infamous sneaks, but he needs dark hair.
went out to the farm to see what Kevin had done, and he's got the center of old barn cleaned out. got in some coloring and block building time with Zerelda, then she told me to go home in my car and take Rusty potty. so I did. K mowed yard #2 and is now working on yard #1. we met for lunch at cafe. the farm is looking good. the 2 Kevin's are keeping it brush cut, and with the falling down buildings gone....when we get the scrapping done, it'll be a showplace.
Koren called and invited us to watch Coralie cheer at a football game. it is happy coinkydink one of my few days off. got to talk to the kids. I'll never get tired of Violet's 'love you Geema' and 'miss you Geema.' we got the best grandkids. we really really did.
this is what I was using as a model.
I'd found a green insulator in the old roundtop barn rubble. and I knew she was a Flatwoods Monster. then I found 2 yellow quilting pins. and Peppa Pigs dress. and a scrap of silk. sawed the arms off a McDonalds Happy Meal Polly Pocket. and of course my trusty hot glue gun. after a few trial runs, here she be. and isn't she lovely? isn't she beautiful? isn't she precious? isn't she magical?
I am a bit high strung and not at all good with change. I had a panic attack and a near melt down trying to figure out how to install the Ticketmaster app on my phone and how to find My Events where our concert tickets are since they. don't. allow. paper. tickets. blasphemy. paper tickets are keepsakes. they are something to clutch anxiously while you look for your seat. now I have to remember how to use this app on my phone. Kelly Little Green Men help us. we are most likely screwed. we'll have to bring along one of our kids for emotional support. I did finally accidently figure it out. and then I practiced it a few times and saved the tickets in case of bad connection at concerts.
I must say he looks rather dapper. have a shirt ordered for him, and sunglasses are found. have to make jeans and find some shoes. maybe I'll try to make some sandals for him? it's just for me so quality doesn't matter. (gosh, this applies to just about my whole life anymore....)
