Lady Gaga leader of The Church of GA

Full of charisma

The charismatic leader Lady Gaga has presented her followers with the 10 Commandments of the 21st Century.  The guide stones are located in Elberton, GA and were placed there by an anonymous group.  While not specifically stated, they are believed to be the creation of the Illuminati.  There is no formal church sight at this time but access to Lady Gaga and her interpretation of Ga’s word can be found online at her official website.  Her website also includes a link to join The Church of Ga.  Lady Gaga is a strong leader and shares her message in her music, tattoos, hair styles and photographs.  Her most shocking revelation is the end of the world on December 21st 2012.  To reach the understanding “the end of times is near” we will start with Lady Gaga and her new religious movement.

She announced on live television worldwide: “I’m so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe.  Ga put me on Earth for three reasons: To make loud music, gay videos and cause a damn ruckus!”   (Lady Gaga  Sept 12, 2010 MTV music awards)

And make a ruckus she did.

This new religious movement was founded on Catholicism.  Lady Gaga was raised Catholic and defends her Catholic beliefs.  She presents herself as the mother to “monsters” and everyone is welcome to follow her and her teachings.  Her stage presence, elaborate costumes, props, and symbolism draw in followers with her songs.  That message is “follow what I do and say….dress like me if you want…otherwise just adore me.  I take all of you!”

An important message to her little monsters is the significance of The Georgia Guidestones.  The GA Guidestones are located in Elberton, GA.  The 10 Commandment of the 21st Century were dedicated on March 22, 1980.  Made of granite and engraved in eight languages, the tablets were created as a life guide to the people remaining on earth after the apocalypse.  Thirty-one years after the Guidestones were assembled in Georgia, Lady Gaga announced to her followers “I had a dream and must share it with you.  It was God and he told me his name is GA and I was his chosen messenger. This message is to all of us on earth about our future socially established code.  Watch with your own eyes, see the symbolism in my messages.  Listen to my songs, watch my videos, and recognize what is right and wrong.  The end of times is near and there will be severe changes.  The chosen 500,000,000 people remaining on earth must live by these ten laws.”

The Georgia Guidestones

1.   MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE


2. GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY – IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY

3.UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING NEW LANGUAGE

4. RULE PASSION – FAITH – TRADITION – AND ALL THINGS WITH TEMPERED REASON

5.   PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS 

6.   LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES IN A WORLD COURT

7. AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS


8. BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES

9. PRIZE TRUTH – BEAUTY – LOVE- SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE INFINITE

10. BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH – LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE – LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE

IN ACCORDANCE TO THE WORD OF LADY GAGA STATING THE MEANING OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

My little monsters,

            There will be no Christmas to celebrate next year.  Most of you will go to Heaven, many will be taken by The Baphomet to hell and those remaining will begin a new life here on Earth.  I dedicate my life to sharing GA’s message with you.  Following the apocalypse we will focus on the important messages from GA.  Population on the earth is very important.  I have not learned the exact methods of GA in controlling the population, but as I am told, I will share the message with you.  Now and in the future, staying healthy and eating good food is essential.  As you shop for food, remember being in the best shape possible is a goal.  Please don’t forget that at any moment, you may run into me at the Giant in Lititz, PA and I will see what you are buying.  Remember, those of us repopulating the earth must be in good health to insure the perfection of our offspring.

            Listen to my words people of earth.   I am a messenger on earth.  What I sing and say is GA’s word.  Learn this new language, embrace it and you will understand GA’s Word.  The new language is verbal and visual.  Follow me through my life on earth and you will receive messages with your eyes and ears.  It is important to speak of what you learn and spread the message of GA.  Much of what I reveal is to point out those who wish to suppress the change in society as directed by GA.  Every Sunday at 7 PM you can join the chat room and share stories, the actions to those resisting The Church of GA, personal thoughts and more about Lady Gaga and The Church of GA. 

            People must get along.  Do not place blame on other but hold yourself accountable for your actions.  Resist those that test your faith.  Believe in GA.  Understand that GA is of the Heavens, an alien.  You see, because I receive this message from GA I know there will be a resistance to our cause.  You must be good to each other because the future of Earth is dependent upon those who can unite.  Acceptance of all people, no matter of race, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs must be socially established.  The “homosexual panic” sweeping over the earth generated by my song “Born This Way” is the message to those people who are in denial of homosexuality.  Social acceptance is the key to stopping the thrusting of our fellow humans into the outer darkness that separates one person as ‘normal’ while another as ‘abnormal’.”

            We must over-throw the government and start over.  Most of the politicians will go at the time of the apocalypse.  The governmental officials remaining will follow GA’s guides as instructed to re-establish the new world.  External disputes will no longer exist as the five hundred million people remaining will have peace on Earth and live in a new, utopian life.

            There will be no written laws on pettiness.  Officials of the old religions will be replaced both in religious sanctions and governmental rule.  No one will tell you who to love or who to marry.  Only those left are worthy, and may choose freely.  We will repopulate the earth with our Monster seed.

            Be yourself, but act with correctness.  We will be changing the world.  This world is full of hate and we have the ability to make the change to love.  It is GA’s desire for his people to start a new society by forming new families.  The hateful people will be taken to eternal pain and suffering at the hands of Satan.

            Be honest with others.  Be honest with yourself.  Show your inner beauty and embrace it.  We will grow in harmony for eternity.  Heed what the ancient Mayans have taught for they were correct.  GA has had the end of the world determined longer than imaginable.  The Mayans used the stars and planets of the Heavens to determine the end of the world.  That date is December 21st 2012.  When the blue comet passes the earth, the result will be a new earth for GA’s followers.  You can’t buy a house in heaven, GA must decide if your final home will be with him.  It’s been a long time since I came around but I’m back in town and this time I’m not leaving without you.  (Germanotta) Prepare now for 2012 because I want as many of my little monsters to join me in the future as possible.

            Ga will judge the people of Earth.  If you are a cancer to earth and to society you will be banished.  The earth needs to replenish its self.  By removing six billion people on December 21, 2012, the earth will be cleared and nature will return.  Do not think of this as the fall of humanity, but the pursuit of a new society to reclaim the earth and embrace the opportunity to live in peace with others chosen by GA.

I love all of you and look forward to seeing you soon.

Love,

Mother Gaga

Millions of people have joined online to see what Lady Gaga’s message is about the future.  Her message has gained millions of followers, all vying to be one of those remaining on earth.  Her little monsters have flocked to the GA Guidestones eager to share the messages Lady Gaga has presented to her followers.  Serious resistance to her new religious movement has developed.

The Anti-Ga Cultist Resistance Group (AGaCRuG) is out to stop The Church of GA.  This group is headed by Mark Dice, author of The Resistance Manifesto.  Dice demanded in his book that the Guidestones be “smashed into a million pieces.”  He claims the monument of Ga’s commandments are of deep Satanic origin.  (Dice) Lady Gaga instructs her followers to ignore this man.  The tablets were not created for Satan, but for GA.

Dice

Not long after the publication of his book, Phyllis Brooks who runs the Elbert County Chamber of Commerce remembers when the Guidestones were attacked by vandals for the first time ever.  The message spray-painted on one tablet was “Jesus will beat u Satanists.”  Dice denied any involvement in the assault of the stones.  Other defacements asserted that the Council on Foreign Relations is “ran by the devil,” and the September 11, 2001 attacks were an inside job headed President Obama, who is a Muslim.  Vandals have also splashed the Guidestones with polyurethane, which is much more difficult to remove than paint.  Despite the graffiti artist’s alignment with his views, Dice says he disapproves of their acts. 

The Guidestones were paid for by “R.C. Christian” is homage to the legendary 14th century founder of the Rosicrucians.  Secrecy is the hallmark of the Rosicrucian’s.  The group announced itself to the world in the early 17th century with a pair of anonymous manifestos.  The manifestos created a huge stir across Europe.  The Guidestones were created to stress reason and endorse a harmonic relationship with nature.  Lady Gaga reveals Rosicrucian symbolism to stress the importance of their work.

Charlie Clamp was the sandblaster who carved each of the 4,000-plus characters on the stones said, “During the hundreds of hours spend etching the guides, I was distracted by strange music and disjointed voices.”  In 1980, Clamp did not recognize the music or voices.  He has since realized the music and voices were Lady Gaga’s who was not born yet.

The Rosicrucians have been passing down knowledge of a solar cycle that climaxes every 13,000 years.  The passing of this blue comet will lead to the devastation of the earth as human now know it.  Currently, the recent collapse of the United States financial system will eventually result in major disruptions of oil and food supplies.  Mass riots and ethnic wars will break out worldwide with all of this chaos leading up to December 21st 2012.

A local minister in Elberton, James Travenstead, predicted that “occult groups” would flock to the Guidestones, and warned that someday a sacrifice would take place there.  Lady Gaga has stated The Guidestones are not a sacrificial altar, but a marker for GA to land his ship on the day of the apocalypse.  When viewed from directly overhead, they form an X and are the ideal landing area.  All monsters remaining on earth will gather at the GA Guidestones.  Have faith; there is a way for all of us to gather.  The ritual of communion will be preformed to all.  We will join in singing and dancing in joy as the Father of Jesus arrives in his most glorious!  A time of celebration as GA reveals himself to his followers.

The great alien will arrive by UFO in the sky to a joyous celebration.  Aliens have always been present as they have watched over the earth for centuries.  Charles Berlitz and William Moore were correct that UFO activity is significant.  Roswell and the events that have taken place in New Mexico area are facts.  Visitors to earth from the Heavens should not be viewed as hostile.  People who tell stories of hostile abduction were not taken by messengers of GA, but demons sent by Satan.  (Partridge)  The government is hiding the fact that there is life on other planets and that GA’s disciples are watching over us.  Some may see GA’s watchers as angels or ghosts.  Other people may see them as demons, disease or death.

Lady Gaga explains, “The Lord GA has been commonly recognized as “God” in many, but not all faiths.  I pray to GA everyday and ask for guidance.  At night I dream the most wicked and horrible nightmares.  These dreams are messages from GA.  I see the wickedness of the people on earth and must share these dreams with you in my works of art.  If I must cover my naked body with the social issues of the world, I will.”

Nude Headlines

“Just as the earth has been reshaped many times over millions of years, it will happen again.  With each reshaping, GA decides who will be chosen to stay and who has completed their stay on earth. The key to understanding is through symbolism.  Symbolism has been an important part of all religions.  Watch for these symbols and others, not only in my videos and photos but in your own home town.”

Gaga Guide to Symbols

The OK sign:  The world is going to be okay.  GA doesn’t want any monsters to panic before or after the apocalypse.  He assures us it is a fresh start and those chosen will be fine.  This symbol is used often to reassure monsters that the wait for a new world is worth it.

Everythings gonna be OK

Sun, Moon, Stars, and Planets:  These signs show respect to GA in his creation of objects in the Heavens.  GA created these other celestial places and objects for a reason.  They are his guides in the sky.

Lightning:  bolts of lightning through a body or coming from within something.  This is an Illuminati symbol of power.

Signs of Evil and Danger

The Baphomet:  This was once a winged creature.  This creature is powerful and evil.  He is depicted on tarot cards as Satan.

Tarot Cards

Pentagrams:  This symbol has been long-standing sign of Satanists.

Inverted Cross:  Satanist invert the Christian symbol of Jesus death during their secret ritual services.

Triangles: Warn of danger to humans.  An example would be the Devil’s Triangle located in the band of vile vortices along the equator.  Ten of these triangular vortexes exist worldwide.

The Triangles of Death

Reflecting on GA

            I developed this new religious movement based on the Georgia Guidestones and my fascination with this granite monument.  The combination of the Guidestones and singer Lady Gaga was an easy connection.  Conspiracy theories link Lady Gaga to multiple organizations such as The Illuminati, The Rosecrucians and Satanic cults.  As I viewed pictures of her and watched her videos I could easily spot all the symbolism displayed for the world to see.  The fact that she refers to herself as a mother of little monsters sealed the deal.

In constructing my NRM I based it one Lady Gaga’s Catholic upbringing.  I viewed her interview with Katie Couric on Thanksgiving Day and was touched at the sincerity in her stories, songs and words.   Initially, I was going to take the story depicting Lady Gaga as a cult leader but eventually came to realize she was an inspiring person who could easily be the head of a NRM.

Blending Catholicism and Ancient Alien Theory, I came up with the New World belief.  Lady Gaga instructed by Ga, would spread the message of his return by UFO to the Guidestone monument.  I used the date based on the Mayan calendar for the end of the world; December 21st 2012.  The more I learned about Lady Gaga the easier it became for me to realize how she could get millions of people to follow her based on faith.  Millions already look up to her as an advocate for human rights.  Her stand on accepting people who are diverse is passionate and a testament of her faith in God.

The Georgia Guidestones are recent sculpture and give a message in eight languages.  There is no doubt the world is the intended audience.  Lady Gaga reaches the world daily in some form and on occasion graces us locally.  She doesn’t hide from the “real world” but encourages people to be themselves, just as the Guidestones direct.

Creating a fictional NRM was incredibly helpful in understanding how NRMs started in the past and how they start now.  New religions are developed by people looking for a new way to understand a faith.   Using the methodology of Geertz, I further developed a Lady Gaga sending messages with her eyes and symbols so followers would recognize what is right and wrong with society in this century.  (Geertz 6)  The ideology of a new world and apocalyptic times based on the “Nexus of Novelty” typology stressed to the followers of this NRM.  Lady Gaga is a disciple of God intent on spreading the meaning of this typology.  (D&A 5)  Also important to a NRM is the role of charismatic leader as a guide to the followers.  This type of leader can influence their followers in unimaginable ways.  (D&A 12)

I also explored the sociological theory of religion and could relate the actions of Lady Gaga and the message she teaches is acceptance of all people.  As Berger touched on in The Sacred Canopy people must not be pushed into the darkness of what separates one person as normal and another as abnormal.  This made a great connection to Lady Gaga as she defends the rights of people. (Berger 24)

The stories of people who claim to have been abducted by aliens in Partridge’s book UFO Religions influenced my decision on what form GA would take.  The alien stories seemed to have been a negative experience and in developing this religion, I wanted the possibility of an alien coming to earth as a positive experience for the earth.  (Partridge 6,10)

This final for the NRM course helped clarify how and why religious movements are developed.  Given creative freedom in developing a NRM the experience has been eye-opening in many respects.  Gaining knowledge about NRMs, The Georgia Guidestones, alien theories and Lady Gaga was a good learning experience.  I plan to continue elaborating on my fictional religion as a creative writing piece of work.  The interest in Lady Gaga is immense and will attract many people to read about my fictional religious movement.

This was for the New Religious Movements course at YCP.  I received an A!

2012 vomit, bird beaks and a fedora

The new year didn’t start out so great.  I was up at 8 AM, waking my little ball of sunshine up so she would be ready when her father arrived at 9 to get her.  While she got dressed, I walked Ying.

Ying and I hadn’t been outside long when my stomach began rumbling and my mouth began to water.  I recognized those warning signs but it was too late to go back in the house.  Linda Blair style, I began puking in the front yard.  My eyes watered and stomach heaved uncontrollably.  If I hadn’t went to the bathroom before taking Ying out I would have wet my pants.   Now I would have been cursing myself for drinking too much on New Years Eve, had I even had one drink!  After the wave of nausea passed I sheepishly looked around to see if there were any witness. (no, my head did not spin around)   I didn’t see any sign of my neighbors being nosey so I guess Ying was my only witness.

Tesla was dressed when I came back in.  We snuggled on the couch until her dad showed up.  After a week together,  it was hard to see her leave.  She didn’t get upset or argue with me about going with her dad.  I think she was still half asleep.  I saw John pull up so I said my goodbyes and gave hugs and kisses to Tesla before I opened the door for her.

As soon as she went out I said “I love you baby!” and closed the door.  The less I have to look at John, with his bird beak nose, wanna be beard and goofy fedora, the better.  I found this man attractive at one time?  Love is blind.

I am actually psyched about 2012.  The Mayan calendar (which is very accurate) predicts the end of the world as we know it to be December 21, 2012.  That might freak some people out, but I am fine with that being my last day on earth.  What could happen that day that will change the world as we know it?  Hard to say, other than it won’t be a flood.  🙂

God Bless everyone with the start of this new year.  Times are difficult, the economy sucks and no one should take things granted.   Enjoy everyday with the people you love…there may be less than a year left on earth.  Tell your friends and family you love them because everyday is precious.

Love you!!

~P.

Last day of the year

It’s hard to believe this year flew by so fast.  Life passes you by before you know it!

Dale, Tesla and I are watching “Twins” and I’ll be going to the grocery store soon.  A few friends are stopping by to ring in the new year.

My year almost ended on a bad note.  Tesla and I were getting something to eat at Surefine earlier today.  We chose our sandwiches and she talked me into a chocolate donut.  I set down our sandwiches and bagged her a donut on the condition she eat her lunch first.

I laid out our lunch on the check out belt and reached in my pocket.  Shit….no wallet.  I went through all my pockets…no wallet.  I asked Tesla if she had my wallet….nope.  The likelihood of her having my wallet was slim to none, but I thought I would at least ask.

“I’m going to have to go look for my wallet, I’m sorry.” I told the check out guy and made a bee line for the donuts.

No wallet hiding in the donuts….back to the sandwich cooler….no wallet.  FUCK!  Now what?!

Then I hear a voice from above…”Patricia Crider please come to the customer service desk.”   It wasn’t God.

Some honest, thoughtful person found my wallet somewhere in Surefine and turned it in.  God Bless that person!

The couple of dollars in my wallet didn’t matter but all that much, but the cards, license, etc. would have been a pain to replace.

I lost my wallet riding my motorcycle once.  A walker found it and turned it into the Northern Regional Police who contacted me the next day.  See, there are good people out there.

Even if they are few and far between.

Down came the tree

We did it!  We did it!

Tesla and I took down the Christmas tree and decorations.  She chatted away about the ornaments and separating the glass from the plastic so they don’t break.  I love having conversations with her because she can be so colorful with her story telling.

Tesla is up in her room now.  Enjoying some quiet time.  It seems to be a luxury for her now.  Trust me, she won’t be up there long and will wander down to see what’s going on.  So I am finishing up packing the Christmas decorations.  I thought about Heather as I folded up the holiday theme kitchen items she took Tesla to buy.  Deep down, she is probably a good person…blinded by love.  What I don’t get is, if she is such a good person over all, why is she with my future ex?

What he yelled at me Christmas day, “we don’t want anything that makes us think of you in the house” shut me down.  There are so many things in that house that must remind Heather and John me on a daily basis.  Hell John probably thinks about Kelly on a daily basis.  She kicked off all the changes to my house.  I think what it boils down to is, the entire flipping house should be a daily reminder of me.

So back to packing up the decorations and I will discontinue thinking about my husband’s girlfriend.  I am sure Heather has many good qualities.  I’ve learned more about Heather and her children than any other of John’s previous attempts to replace me.

So a thank you shout out to Heather…..The gifts were great and next year maybe we can attempt a gift exchange in person since John had serious issues accepting a gift.   He was too busy berating me in front of both our children about not wanting to think about me.   Though I do remember you Heather, yelling at me that when you are all home I am the last person all you would talk about.  Someone’s doing a lot of talking….John tells me about it all the time.  It’s hard for him to forget me.  Breaking up is hard to do.

I was clearly to make a huge deal over the gifts Heather purchased confirming to John that he has chosen well since dumping me.  It’s just hard to do as my time with Tesla is severely cut, I don’t get to talk to her more than a few minutes, this divorce is a drain of time and money and a distraction from school.  Yes, the possible future “step-mom” bought a few cute gifts, but that same person is the cause of many problems in my life.  She is living in my house with my child.  A house that I want sold and a child that should be living with her mother.

Oh well, I just have to be patient as usual. John said I can never get anything right…Someday, he will learn.

I may be wrong, but I doubt it.  🙂

Nothing like Christmas drama

Christmas was in high gear at my parents house when John came for Tesla at 11:45.  Tess was still opening gifts from Uncle Joe and Aunt Kathy but we hurried through so she could leave.

I walked Tesla out to her dad’s truck.  He had all the kids with him and I was excited to give them the little gifts we had for each of Heather’s kids.  It wasn’t any big deal, just snacks and candy in their own gift bag.  John put those gifts in the truck and the kids waved to me.  I had another gift in the car for John, Tesla, Heather, Abbie, Bria, Casey and Katie but John wouldn’t take it.  It’s this type of drama that reminds me why we are no longer together.   The kids would have loved the gift and there was something special inside for John.  Oh well…..

Apparently he is offended by my blog about the gifts from Tesla.  I thought it was incrediably nice of Heather to take Tesla shopping.  Tesla picked the gifts out and I didn’t care if the dates on the ornaments were wrong.  That isn’t a big deal.  What is a big deal to me is why John is mad at me and says he won’t take a Christmas gift because they don’t want anything in the house that going to make them think of me.  REALLY?  I imagine the exception would be Tesla of course.  It’s funny to me….whoever John is with on a holiday always gives gifts to me.  Maybe to make up for the fact that John sure isn’t going to give me a gift.  I doubt he even remembers what Tesla and I gave him last year.  That or he threw it out because it reminded him of me.

Besides John’s usual drama, Christmas was wonderful.  At my parents house with my sons, Tesla, Dale, Suz, Blaine, Sam, Joe, Kathy and Sawyer.  It was a full house!

I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and hope everyone got what they asked Santa for!

Hohoho,

A different kind of letter

It’s Christmas Eve day and I had two pieces of mail.  A very delayed letter from the Dept of Welfare and a copy of my lawyer’s letter to John’s lawyer.

The letter to Doug France is my lawyers attempt to get things moving along.  At this point, France may have put more time into John’s stupid filing for divorce than he did in defending the ax murder who killed the woman from Red Lion and dumped her body at Beaver Hole.  France was disappointed when the murder hung himself in jail.  Apparently France managed to get the murderer a life sentence.  More about that in my Beaver Hole blog.

So the letter requests more time for Tesla and I together, her going to art therapy and to proceed with the divorce (house appraisal, business records, debts, etc.)  The divorce information has been requested several times now.  My accountant has been hanging onto records for years now!!

Can’t wait for Christmas!

~P.

Surprise gifts from Tesla

I picked up Tesla at 5 PM tonight.  I was a little bit early but it took another 15 minutes or so for her to come out.  I walked up to the door three times, and rang the bell.  I saw Heather in the house.  John saw me at the door and yelled out “she will be out soon” through the glass.  A little bit later John and Tesla came out, John carrying a large bag of gifts and Tesla’s school papers.   He said he would pick up Tesla at my parents at 11:45.  He’s on a tight schedule with Heather’s kids and all.

The gifts inside were for Dale: a cute stocking with a ginormous summer bologna stick, Hershey’s chocolates and walnuts.  There was a coupon for Chili’s, buy and adult meal, get a kid’s meal free.  It was expired.  Not expired, were McD’s coupons.  McD’s is his favorite place for quick food and a sweet tea.

I received a huge glass peanut jar.  Inside was Christmas tea towels, oven mitt, pot holder, cookie mix, icing, sprinkles, and a cookie cutter.  A second small gift was a Christmas ornament.  It says Mother & Daughter with a hole for a picture.  Hanging from the bottom is beautiful beading and a decorative tag that states:  2004  Hell, that was my first Christmas with John.  No baby yet…

There is a gift for Grandma and Grandpa in the bag too.

So at 11:45, Tesla and I will give John and his new girlfriend and kids the gifts we have for them.

Santa,

I need a divorce for Christmas.

Sincerely and seriously,

~P.

 

Ying is ready

I can hear him jingle when he tries to sneak away

Ying is ready for Christmas.

I’m almost ready.  Going for a couple little things tonight.

I hear Jingle Bells!

Over ride rejoice

You know there are days you get out of bed and with in minutes you know it’s going to be a sucky day.

This wasn’t one of those days.   I slide out of bed (tall bed) and was surprised at how chilly it felt.  Grabbing my warm-up pants and Spartan T-shirt I instantly felt warmer.  Padding across the wooden floor I opened my sock drawer and found it empty.  Glancing at the two baskets of clothes waiting to be put away, I padded back to my bed and began rooting through the mismatched socks box.  The lights weren’t even on in the bedroom yet but I didn’t care if my socks matched or not.  I grabbed a white one and reached back in for any other sock that was similar in shape.  Presto!  The sock I grabbed was a match.  Then I knew it was going to be a good day.

I checked my email at school and had a message waiting from me from Dr. Zerbe.  He is higher up on the food chain at school if you know what I mean.  I was in a difficult situation in needed a specific writing class that I had skipped.  I went from writing intro to the 300 level classes.  Dr. Zerbe checked with the professor, Nancy Eshelman about an over ride and she agreed to have an 18th person in her class.  Woohoo!  Christmas came early for me.  Nancy is a great teacher and columnist for The Patriot Times in Harrisburg.

Now only a few more days left until Christmas is here.  I can’t wait for Tesla to get back to PA.  I haven’t heard from her much but her dad is sending pictures.  Soon Tesla and I will have a week together!!

Celebrating early!

~P.

 

4 days left

 

Very Cool!

Only four days are left until Christmas day.  Where does time go!? 

Now that the fall semester at YCP is over and we are just waiting patiently for our grades, it dawns on me how close Christmas Day is.  Tesla is with her Dad, Heather, and all her kidlings.  Somewhere in Erie they are in a water wonderland.  It looks awesome and I’m glad Tesla is having this experience.  Though not receiving any child support since November 23 is frustrating to say the least.  

Meanwhile I am home organizing all these notes, bills, school work and more.  It seems endless!  I love seeing the pictures of Tesla and can not wait to see her on Friday.  Christmas Day we are going to my parents.  I only have Tesla until noon.  I would love for John to extend my time until two but I doubt he will agree to that.  We are texting about exchange time now.  I asked him to pick up Tesla at my parents.  I don’t know if he will even agree to that.

sigh…Hohoho

At least Tesla will wake up here Christmas morning!!!

Have you been naughty or nice?

~P.

Oh, for shits and giggles…here is what I signed to visit with Tesla for three hours.

 

Memento from my “first visit” with Tesla
