Ari-Wood
Welcome to Ari-Wood. Step right up and see the sights. To your left, you will see the delicate fragility of fairy land. On the right, watch out for the fiery dragons. For your safety, we recommend you stay on the path and don't stray into the netherworlds of risk and chance. Alternatively, perhaps you like the benefits that go along with taking that chance..........

All rights to the poetry and stories in Ari-Wood
belong exclusively to the author.


That which is not mine,
That which is not good,
That which is not altruistic....
Is requested to leave.

The stories and poems encased in this crystal blog are written from my own imagination and in no way are intended to be viewed as written to any specific person unless I specifically state that it is.

My heart is a book which you leaf through as simply as the pages of this blog..

Antiqued an worn
The words bleed
From a hidden place
Deep within my chapters
Where only one can see
And whispering spirits tarry

Frayed are my edges
Yet my gliding
Remains beautiful
Not a mere ornament
But a testament to the tooling
Which has geared my life

Sown tightly is my binding
I have weathered the years
I shine with wisdom an character
Like no other book
Yet my cover bares the marks
Of ordinary use

Turn my pages lightly
And you shall read
My hued memories
Of dreams and dreaminess
Of times and timelessness
Of lives and liveliness

Upon my inner pages
Are scribbled
Achromatic dreams
My love
My hopes
My life

You are such a treasured book
All my love, Sister of my heart
(Written by a special sister of my heart...MsAlchemy2...a special gift...I wanted to share.)

I took tomorrow off so I can deal with a number of problems that have come up. Let's see....I need to remove all my primary exterior locks and have them re-keyed while I am in Pocatello Saturday. It turns out that when Mer returned my house key....it wasn't really my house key. That really torqued me off since it cost me so much to have all the locks keyed to a single key in the first place....and now I get to do it again. It torques me off more that he lied to me...and that he kept my house key. I will be correcting that little problem this weekend.

I came home tonight to find that the bird from hell had gone on a destructive rampage. She does that when the house gets too quiet for her. She destroyed a Boston Fern....nipping off nearly every single frond in at least two places...and then ate the door jamb behind it....leaving chunks of wood laying in the plant pot. Good thing I planned to remove that door jamb....but I can't do it right now cause I'd have to be ready to take the tile out on that landing.

I thought about fricasseeing her for dinner...but I wasn't that hungry...yet. My sis is coming over tomorrow....and the plan is to trap her in her cage. I can't really be mad at her....I knew that when birds get bored and lonely....and no one is home with her all day long anymore...they wander...and get into trouble. It isn't that she planned to be destructive...it's just the end result of her birdy explorations. So now....I'm going to end her birdy explorations.

The cat and dog seem to need continual reassurance. The cat curls up as tight as he can get to my head....and expects to be scratched all night. The dog climbs on my chest...mountain climber that he is....and wants to be petted all night. I think I'll move into the guest room and let them have the bed. Which reminds me that I need to get the mattress off my bed so they can put the new one on it. I'm not sure how I'll get it down the stairs...but where there's a will...there's a way.

I also need to install the housings for the recessed lights I bought for the front porch...it looks fairly simple when I read the book....and I can't put the lights up until the wood is up...or the wood up until the housings are up...and then I want to prime the wood for the soffit if the weather is warm enough...and mow the lawn. Ick. I think I need a long nap first...holy crows...a day from hell. We'll see how much of it I actually accomplish.

I think that the idea behind taking the day off was to reward myself for the audit....but it's beginning to not feel much like a reward. I guess the reward was that I actually relaxed enough to watch two episodes of Monk tonight. I haven't done that in months.

So....if y'all don't see me for a year or two....it must have taken a lot longer than I estimated. I always did bite off more than I could chew.
