Long time, no see me!

I have been comsumed by Facebook, and well, other past times... I'm still here and I'm still surviving. Will be posting later and kind of give the update!!

Whatz that all about...

For today's post, I threw some thoughts over on my hubby's political blog...

More later.

Lemmings...

Why do people just BLINDLY believe anything they read that's bad about their opposing candidate? I can't believe the crap that is emailed to me from friends who support the "other" party, slamming my candidate and making up lies. And when I counter them with truthful news pieces, all of a sudden they shut up and can't say anything to me. Or the tell me what talk shows that I should be listening to, to hear the "unbiased" opinion...yeah not so much.

I guess I'm going to have to speak up and tell them not to send me this stuff anymore.

Smile, it's Friday.

I'm a Dodge Viper...

I'm a Dodge Viper!

You're all about raw power. You're tough, you're loud, and you don't take crap from anyone. Leave finesse to the other cars, the ones eating your dust.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

And wouldn't I look good driving that??

The dawn of a new Era

I had a tragic loss this morning. I have (or rather had) a beloved "I Love Lucy" coffee mug. Now years ago during my first marriage, I had a HUGE collection of Lucy memorabilia. My ex made some less than nice comments about Lucy and my collection; after that I sold or gave much of it away-that and the fact that I lost my house during the divorce and had no where to keep it all... But one of the items I kept, this mug, that had been a birthday gift from a long time coworker and friend. She gave it to my in 2001 and it has been on my desk at every job since. This morning in a disaterous turn of events, I was getting my morning coffee and it fell off the counter and shattered. If I hadn't been heading for training, I would have burst out in tears. Which I shed a few later in the morning.

I'm just wondering if this is a sign of things to come. With my company seeming to be up in the air about many issues, and for some reason, I can't obtain a second part time job...bit by bit, my world around me is crumbling. I'm trying to remain steady, steadfast and strong. I'm not sure how long that will last.

Now, I know in the grand scheme of things, the loss of my mug is so very minor. Considering our middle son has recently been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (which is why I'm trying to stay strong for my husband...), and our finances are less than perfect and with the way the economy is going...well you get that idea. There are things that are so much more important. But for me, it was a piece of my world that I destroyed and I will never get back.

I know, I know, build a bridge and get over it. And I will.

Another day another 25 cents

It seems that we've gotten to that point, financially. I'm getting tired of driving 50 miles round trip every day to a job that I wonder if it is still going to be there. And am I really happy there? Not sure. Right now I'm looking for a second job to work part time. We're hoping this helps our financial situation. Just very frustrating all around.

More later.

Singin' in the Rain....

Today is our company picnic and it has been raining for the past 24 hours. My guess is this thing is going to be a bust. People were already cancelling before...now, who knows.

Scott and I missed our trip to Springfield, but had fun yesterday anyway. We ran errands, had a nice lunch and dinner out (courtesy of a couple of gift cards) and saw the movie "Get Smart". Stinking HYSTERICAL. I can highly recommend it to anyone our age who remembers the original...

I have been asked by Scott and Kemp to be a guest writer on their blog this weekend, but I will have to take care of it later.

More to come.
