Graceland

Memphis, TN. Next Friday (the 3rd) Jason and I are heading to Graceland. We are leaving at 10am so we are there in time to swim and hit a barbeque joint before night fall. Well maybe barbeque-I can't seem to remember if he likes that or not-but there is a blues playin' barbeque slingin' place near our hotel that I'd like to check out. But if we don't get to, that's ok...it's Jason's birthday afterall so I can be flexible. Then on Saturday a three and half hour tour of Graceland, Elvis' airplanes, music studio, etc. We are staying at the actual Heartbreak Hotel, right next to Graceland. I don't know if my life could be anymore interesting right now than it already is. But I will say this...Paul Simon would be proud. He went to Graceland too...Memphis, Tennessee.

whatEVAH!

ugh. this whole crap with my sister is really bugging me. and not because of HER, because I say whatever makes her happy, but because my mom is just soooo freakin' closed minded about it. And she thinks it's all a matter of Kim disrespecting HER. since when did my sister's decisions become about my mom? and then my mom asked what I would think if MY daughter told me that. I told her I would be happy that my daugher had found herself and was being true to herself, and as long as she was truly happy I'd be happy for her. UGH. How on EARTH is this all about my mom. she says Kim is just doing it to be spiteful! that's just crazy. and of course we can't tell Dad or ANYONE else in the family. Dad would be worse than mom, but not so vocal, and the rest of the bible thumpers in the family would be mean. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!

this is hilarious. I warn you, the cheese factor is pretty large here. But it's freakin' great.

Just Because

I was lying in bed last night thinking of all the things that make me angry and then to counter that, so my mood would not be totally shot, I thought of all the things that make me happy. That in mind, I decided I would put it all here. It's not as bad as it sounds!

Things that make me Angry (AKA things I hate!):
bugs, liars, cheaters, two faced people, people who think their friends are disposable, cowards, snakes, going to my OB/GYN (though I really like Dr. Bills so that makes it a little easier), shots (the kind with needles), addictions, obsessive people, assholes, people who forget where they come from, My niece growing up so rapidly (she just turned 7 on the 13th!), my mom being sick, stupid drivers (really folks, is it that hard?)...

Things that bring me Happiness (just to bring the mood back up a bit):
my family, Jason (most of the time anyway, especially lately), new friends, old friends, those friends in between, Kathryn, Zoë (I guess that falls under family-but damn do I love her), the beach, Tia (my chihuahua), walking around my pond with Jason, MONEY (whoever said money can't buy happiness was either poor and trying to make themselves actually believe that or a liberal), Matt (though this falls under old friends he needs to be recognized for all the joy he brings me, especially as of late), Matt's family because they make him so happy, picnics, my ultrasound results being not so bad, love, honesty, trust, blue skies, salt water, hot sand under my feet, white caps on the ocean, sunny days (mentally and literally).

Ah...always end on a good note. then the angry "things" aren't so monumental. put's everything into persepective really.

Ultrasound!

I just found out that my ultrasound on Friday is going to be in 4-D. Not 3-D not 2-D but FOUR. how interesting will that be? and a bit weird I'm betting.

Regular Guys

Welcome back Regular Guys. After a long hiatus, in which Bob and Tom's voice and laugh literally grated on my nerves, my favorite morning show hosts are back! It's been too long. Now I kinda wish my drive to work were a little longer. But I will take my 20 minutes of Larry and Eric without complaint. I wonder how many new FCC rules they have to abide by now.
