| Work is seriously stressing me out. Meh. Let's not even talk about that now.
So we got a dog. And she is a mess. A total mutt, but a tiny thing nonetheless. Yay.
I have itchy scalp and I feel like I need to trim one of my toenails. Meh.... | | |
| Blah.
Stress is not fun.
In the past month I have been on four different planes and in five states.
I like my job, don't get me wrong. But sometimes I have these moments of realization that it isn't what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Ah well. It hurts my brain to even think about work right now so I am going to pass.
So... new in the world, Sci Fi is becoming "Syfy." And they wonder why kids, "bE typin lyk dIs Yo." As I sit here watching The Next Generation, I am totally reminded of taking my moms banana hair clips and putting them over my eyes. Then I found out my husband apparently did that as well. And every other kid in the 80s. | | |
| Normally this is reserved as a personal blog, but something on American Idol last night sparked my interest so much that I have to write about it.
I didn't see the show, but I heard about it this morning on the radio. Of course by now, I've Googled up the video and it can be seen here: http://www.tmz.com/2009/01/22/idol-judges-lack-southern-hospitality/
Wow.
No really. Wow.
Let me be the 9,000th person to say (as it's all over the web) that I say "be careful" all the time. And if it is a threat, then I guess I go around threatening people all the time. I suppose I've threatened my husband and family thousands of times.
It's an expression of southern hospitality. Mark Rudd did not literally mean anyone harm by saying, "y'all be careful," yet Simon and Paula jumped the gun and took such great offense to it.
Actually, in Paula's defense, she has had issues with stalkers, but that doesn't give her a "free pass" to be downright rude and mean to people. Also, Simon was the first to call it a "threat." Paula then followed with a "that's not a normal thing to say..." Maybe not in her Beverly Hills lala land, Paula.
But in the south, yes, it IS a perfectly "normal" thing.
I highly doubt it will happen, but I'd love to see an on-air apology from Simon and Paula.
And of course, whoever reads this, be careful!

| I'm still here.
Work takes up most of my "computer time," so I don't get to blog much anymore. After setting and staring at a screen 9 hours a day, my crusty eyes don't feel like coming home and doing it more.
Things have been going well lately. I can't complain. God has truly blessed me in so many ways and I am totally not worthy of it all.
Speaking of God, I've recently joined a church I've been going to and my spiritual life is going pretty good right now. I felt bad "leaving" the church I grew up in, but considering it was strictly a geographical change (I live two hours from it), I am sure they understand. The church I've joined is the closest I've ever seen to my home church and the pastors know each other. So it's all good.
My hubby wants to buy a new car. I can't say that I blame him - his car is 13 years old and has about 180,000 miles. The windows don't roll down and the air doesn't work. He's always having to replace the fuses and last year we had to replace the alternator. So I guess it's better he gets rid of it now before it seriously breaks down and it's unsellable/trade-in able, etc.
At first he wanted a truck but now he's saying he wants an SUV, so we can "have it for when we have kids in five years!" Err... I just don't know if I am ready for the "family car," just yet. Something in me wants a shiny new sports car - I'm still young, right?
But it will be his car so I guess I don't get a lot of say-so in the matter, lol.
