be careful what you google for......

i was thinking today how i am the only remaining "charlton" in our family. i got bored at work so i did a google image search for charlton. i knew i'd find tons of stuff for the UK football team (charlton til i die!) then i found an odd pic with the link below:

http://www.charlton.demon.co.uk/maya/

it's a really bizarre website created by an indian woman. the graphics are.....bad. the photo shopping on photos is disturbing as hell. the whole is just.....creepy. appropriate for a "charlton" i guess....

still bored, i decided to look up st. dymphna, patron saint of the mentally ill. years ago i found this medal at a thrift shop and was fascinated. dymphna sits on a throne with a demon lurking behind her. neat-o!

her story is rather interesting and bizarre. enjoy!!! http://www.wku.edu/~sally.kuhlenschmidt/whimsy/dymphna.htm

what else to report? just having a great time lately. hanging out with a fun boy, seeing old friends, etc... the other night mag's made steak for dinner and we hung out while she cooked and played me the new jason mraz CD (which i LOVE.) seeing her sing and dance around the kitchen to "the geek in pink" was so funny! everyday i realize how lucky i am to have such an amazing group of friends.

oh, i am working with a friend's husband on drawing up a living will (otherwise known as "pull the plug, dammit!) i loved my first stained glass class and am excited to design my first project. i am leaning towards some kind of abstract of a flaming heart. also, i have been off anti-depressants for over a month now, and even managed to ween myself off coffee. shocking! the owner of arabica was visibly shaken when i ordered a large earl grey with lemon and honey. looks like my espresso habit won't be putting his kids through college after all!

ok, i guess that's it for my total random and rambling post. ciao!!!!!
