New Year’s Resolution Early

I decide that I was going to start my Resolution for 2008 early. After all if you do something consistly for 30 days it becomes a habit. So I am going to keep it simple stupid, just because I like KISSing!!

1. I am going to lighten up on the Man and stop bitching so much at him!! Hell you might as well make the most difficult one first.

2. I am going to use the F-word a little less often. Except during sex!! Hey if I am going to lighten up on the Man then I am going to have to find some way to stay occupied so there will be nothing to bitch about.

3. I am going to write more!! I haven’t been writing much in the past couple of years and NaNoWriMo has been a bust. Mosty because I have been out of practice.

4. Spend more time doing things with the kids and the Man. Hey this will be the easiest one to do.

So those are the four task for 2008. Amazingly enough I have listed them from hardest to easiest. Wish me luck and I will keep you posted.

Church vs Bullets

This morning when I hopped online to catch up on my news. Thank goodness for yahoo or I wouldn’t know what the heck was going on in the world. Anyway I read an article about a shooting at a Christian Ministry in Arvada, CO (part of Denver).

Now my mother just called me to tell me about a shooting that took place at New Life Church (North side of Colorado Springs). Hey I am all for people’s second amendment rights, but please resist the urge to reorganize religion by killing off the people who are trying to get close to God.

I personally do not attend church. I think some of the biggest hyprocrites can be found in church, but I do believe in God and I do believe that people have a right to express their religious belief anyway they feel the need to. All I ask is that you allow me to do the same.

I also read how Germany is trying to ban Scientology. I admit that I know absolutely nothing about it except that Tom Cruise is big into it. Fine by me. Live on Tom, may the force be with you. But the question I have to ask is why is Germany so afraid of Scientology? Have they made some overt bid to take over the government? I am not so sure I would trust the judgement of the German government, after all Hitler really was not that long ago!! As since I was born in Germany I know that if Hitler had won the war I would not exist today.

All I am trying to say is that if you have a specific problem with a religion, first educate yourself about the religion and then talk to members of that religion and try to reach a compromise. Stop trying to settle everything with bullets!

Perks to the Job

So the new contract is going good. And I made a discovery on today. I am losing weight. On the 13th I will have been doing this job for exactly a month. In that time I have lost eleven pounds. It is probably all of the extra walking that I am doing and the fact that I am once again eating regular meals. But who cares as long as it keeps on happening. I will keep the world posted.

Day Without A Cellphone

Okay I forgot my cellphone at home today. I forgotten how quiet the world is without a cellphone going off every 30 seconds. But then again I couldn’t call anyone because everyone’s phone number is programmed into the cellphone.

But what I missed the most is texting. That is how I keep in touch with everyone throughout the day. So I learned my lesson today. Make sure I pick up my phone as I run out of the house.

Sick Sick Friends

This is to the smart aleck who sent me the get well card, (and you know who you are).
Yea, somebody sent me a card saying that I have been way to nice lately. Not my normal bitchy self so I must be ill.

So they sent me a card wishing me a speedy recovery and that they hope I get better soon, because they miss me. Well I have some words for you but I am being too nice and so I am not going to say them.

Start All Over

I was doing well with NaNoWriMo, but I decided that I hated my story, so I decided to start over. So on day 17, I started from the beginning and managed to write 10,000 words. WooHoo, it was a good decision that I had made. So hopefully the writing goods will stay with me and I will reach 50,000 before the 30th.

Finally Someone Knows the Pain

Well my brother is going home tomorrow, so tonight we had a family barbecue. But he discovered the pain of dealing with chemo week. Tonight he told me that he can understand why I get so pissed at my other brothers for not helping out with my mother’s chemo.

He took her to all of her appointments this week except for the one on Monday which I did. He found out how tiring those appointments are because you just don’t sit their with her, you have to help her to the bathroom, get her coffee or a soda if she is nauseaous. Get her something to eat, cover her with a blanket when the chemo makes her cold, uncover her when the chemo makes her hot. Entertain her to keep her mind off the chemo. So by time the appointment is over you are just as tired.

So now somebody else has experienced the pain and know that it is not easy. And he understands when I vent about the other two having experienced it first hand.

No Chemo Today

Well today I didn’t go to chemo with my mother, because my brother went. It was very nice being able to come home and go back to bed after taking the kids to school.

I had a good afternoon. I was able to get a lot of things done that I had been putting off because I was to tired to take care of them. So I shall actually breakdown and do some writing since NaNoWriMo is ticking away from me!!

Kept A Secret

So it almost killed me, but I kept the secret. Everyone is mad at me because I did keep it. The secret is that my younger brother was coming in from Misery tonight to visit with my mother. The only people that knew he was coming was me, because I had to pick him up at the airport and my father, because he was staying at my parent’s house.

So after getting bumped from what seemed like twelve million different flights he finally arrived at 10:40p tonight. So we tracked down our brother and snuck up on him. Nothing like having a grown man turn around from his pool game and see his twin standing right behind him. The profanity that slipped out of my brother’s mouth I will not repeat. But the best part was my mother’s face.

We arrived at my parent’s house and my dad was peeping out of the window and he was so excited. So I go up the stairs first calling my mother. When I see her I told her that she left something in my car and when she came to see what it was she ran into my brother. It took a minute for her to realize who it was and thenshe got a big cheese eating grin on her face at the sight of him. It made for a late night but the expression on her face was worth it!!

Keeping Secrets

My family claims, especially THE MAN, that I couldn’t keep a secret if my life depended on it. Well I have been sitting on two secrets. One for the past two weeks the other for a couple of days.
The first one is easier to keep because if I spill it it could either give someone dating hope or send them over the edge of the dating pool. And I personally don’t want to be responsible for someone committing social suicide.
The second secret I have only had to keep for little over 48 hours. Though I did come close to spilling the beans this afternoon, I kept my cool and thought up a good explanation quick, fast, and in a hurry. Thankfully I have only 90 more minutes to keep the second secret. But it did bring to light that I have a family full of nosy people. And they wonder where I get it from??? Go figure!
