So it is the New Year and I just scan the news for catastrophe! The normal killings and robberies are there…. The parents mistreating their children and Grandmothers getting beat to SH*T for their Visa and Discover cards!!! The News Is BULLSH*T!!! I am tired of violence and crap! Today was the last straw….. Now I don’t religiously watch the news but I scan headlines etc…. This one broke the bank today

“Ohio Teen convicted of killing Mom over video game”

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20090112/Pastor_s.Wife.Slain/

The parents took “Halo 3” away the kid then later snuck into his fathers lock box to remove a 9mm and the game…. “Close your eyes, I have a present for you” the kid then tells his mother and father… then shoots them both in the head. Mother dies and Father survives… You would expect the “kid” in the story to be 9-12yrs old twisting reality and fiction of the game world… This kid is 17 yrs old!!!! WTF!!!

I hate that we have to live in a world with thieves liars murderers rapist molestors etc…. Jesus help us…. Even if all of the world does follow Christianity you would think that there is some moral compass to most people…. I am beginning to doubt the fact that I believe I am alive… maybe I died hundreds of years ago and purgatory is working and living in this world!!!

Post for the holidays

Okay, So I am trying to sell my house… It is up on the market but we will see how it goes…. Maybe I will get 4 bedrooms and a basement! Who Knows! Hehehe

I really wish that the holidays would pass smoothly but that never seems to be the case.

1. My brother (20yrs old) had a cancerous tumor removed the second week of December- SHH I’m not supossed to know it is cancer !!!   Of course I did not even know he was in the hospital until he called – AFTER surgery to see if he could still have this electric organ that I have to give to his EX girlfriend (more news to me) for Christmas…..

And as a result of call #1 I find out #2

2. My mother comes to town from FL. After telling me Thanksgiving that she wouldn’t because of finances! UGH!! Then it is not a short visit… she is here for 4 wks at the least… NOT PLANNED – Yeah okay!
3. Packs a whallop: My sister is PREGNANT AGAIN!! Then lost her Job 1 week before Christmas

*sigh* Some days I just think I should stay in bed!!!

Okay, So life is BUSY!!!

And…..

It is snowing today – AWESOME

Here goes nothing….

1. My hubby and I are looking to sell our house and buy a bigger one…. That is long term – whether we can buy a house depends on whether someone wants ours…..
2. I have a “Lady Doctor” appointment to stop my Birth Control…. IE I can start to attempt conception… woo hoo… I have a Stepson but to have one from start to finish will be awesome… although a small part of me is fearful that I will love it more.
3. Thanksgiving is a week away…..

So with attempting to get the house ready to show and holidays and babies on the brain… I am a nut…. My brain totally shut off the other day at work… mid-sentence…. Didn’t hear the end of an explanation and basically made an @$$ out of myself by repeating what was said in an argumentative way because I thought something else was said….. *SIGH*

I don’t know if we are gong to be able to sell our house or not… but if it comes down to not selling…. Maybe an addition… I don’t know where stairs would go in the house….

Twilight comes out today…. Do not know if I am going to be able to go….. Talked with Hubby a couple of weeks ago and he said Matinee Sat or Sun but I do not know if we will have time… Sucks too… I was HYPED!!!

Work is work…. I do not think my job is safe…. Although I spoke with a boss today and they said if layoffs made it to my level it would go off performance and I have not worries… We’ll see….

Oh and I might be an Auntie again…. *SIGH* You know when you just want something better for people and it doesn’t happen… I’m there

So, I am thinking of joining one of those CD clubs but I just looked for a few bands and they do not have Flobots, Rage, Disturbed, Apacolyptica, Katy Perry Etc … Not cool…. Won’t be joining them…. Ugh!!!

I also heard a song the other day from the guy who is in Rage called “Wild International” and it is by a new band called One day as a Lion.  Pretty cool and it still has the Rage style….. Rage is still pumping out albums though….

I have to take my hubby’s uncle to his own birthday party tonight… And my Husband will not be there…. What do you get (the uncle) after you have already gotten him a phone when he moved to the state and have constantly allowed him to borrow money (not my decision) above and beyond the “I’ll help you get settle” time period…. NOTHING!!!! That is how I feel about it… they use your home and your utilities and they owe you money – not just 20 bucks either…. I’m talking a couple car payments worth!!!

He is getting a card and best wishes… on his 47^th birthday!  Not kidding… This is what happens when you do not go to school and get a settled job… when you live off others and hustle for a living you end up a 47 year old man with no legacy and no stable place to work or live… leeching off your family until the blood runs dry!!!!

Whatever!!!!

I am reading a really good book right now.  Eye of Heaven by Marjorie M. Lui.  It is a paranormal romance (don’t judge)!!!  It is really good… there are psychics and shape shifters and telekinetics (not the freaky Carrie type – at least not yet) and check this… it takes place with a circus that is performing in Las Vegas!  What is it with Vegas books…. First the Vicki Pettersson books (shadow) and now this…. I guess an ugly metal city that is only beautiful at night which is in the middle of the unbearable dessert is a melting pot for the paranormal…. Who would have thought!!! Heheheeee

Work is work… “I see Dumb People”  or as it was stated to me by my Husband

“Go deal with the world’s plethora of pure stupidity”

Oh well…. I guess we all do what we must!!!

Now that my truck is broken (for good) I get to drive a very fast two door 6 speed… with A/C….  So spoiled!!!!

Okay! So I have come to realize that decompression is key to my anxiety!!! I have turned on the TV for about an hour before I go to bed and it has to be something that I want to watch or I just zone and concentrate on the day anyway.... So the last couple of days have been better.

Today I am really tired... I wish Wawa delivered.... I could go for a coffee and a cinnamon bun right now!!!!

I am almost done with Charlaine Harris' Dead Until Dark where we first meet Sookie and Bill... I really hope that Alan Ball and HBO do the right thing.... we will see.... True Blood Premiere September 7 2008 9pm

I love the cast they have thrown together... and although the guy at the bookstore (they love to give their two cents) is under the impression that it is not going to have Mystery (as the books are) he seems to be very wrong.... well in a few weeks we will see... yeah!

Back to reading and then to work... fun stuff...

I really need a nap!!!

So my family (and the Dog) attended a dog show this weekend… which our pet was in…. I personally do not like dog shows… I think that they are silly and that ever animal should be loved and cared for and not pranced around so that the breeder/owner/handler can have the prestige of owning a “Champion”.

There are good points… it was Air Conditioned and We got to eat dinner at Cracker Barrell… My Husband enjoys the shows and so does the son….  Puppy doesn’t mind so much either….

We stayed in our camper/van in the parking lot of the center and they had electric hookup (extension cord into building….) so after a hot sweaty Saturday I got to take a shower… Hot water and everything… in the camper… you have to squat or sit on the seat to wash and adults can not shower standing up… but to be able to wash your hair and rinse the sweat off your body before changing into clean clothes… it is the most amazing feeling ever… when you are on the road…. Love my camper even more now….

We have started “whistle” training…. Blow of the whistle means “stop what you are doing and come here NOW” and if the dogs does this… he gets a treat… Started yesterday and this morning he still remembers…. I love having a smart dog… woo hoo… no more yelling across the yard or park…. Woo hoo….

So on the long ride down my stepson and I got to watch Sailor Moon on You Tube… Husband and I got an adapter that allows the laptop to run off of the vehicle… so awesome…. I love Sailor Moon…

The weekend was enjoyable… It is defiantly cool to be traveling down the interstate and be able to be on the internet at the same time… Awesome!!!

Now I am searching for my anniversary gift… I just have to say – Good Bless Amazon….
