I Have Frustration

Life isn't that bad.  We are all doing well and moving on.  I still wish I could vent a bit more than I can.  I am not miserable, really.  I still love what I do and I love my customers.  I still love most of the folks I work with.  I'm just tripping up a bit on some personal issues.

I will move past them.  I always do.  I will move on and be the chipper person I have always been in the past.  I was pissy today, and I HATE pissy Rachel.  Tomorrow, it's back to me.

Monica drove with Dad today, (my dad, not hers) and did well, from what I've heard.  I couldn't ask for a better teacher.  He taught me, and I'm a PERFECT driver.  LOL  I'm proud of her, and glad that Dad said he'd step up.  We are to "parenty" to properly instruct her.

Big Brother is on tonight, so I need to go finish some things, so I can sit on my ample bottom and watch my show.  Can't wait to see what is revealed tonight.  I hope they explain Dick's disappearance.  Yup, I *did* just lose everyone who doesn't watch that show.

Riding With a 15 Year Old

Tonight, I rode over to Odessa with Monica.  There were a lot of firsts.

1. She drove that curvy, hilly, country highway for the first time.
2. She pumped gas for the first time.
3. She handled everything in top-notch fashion. (not really a first for her)
4. She did a McD's drive through, ordering and paying.

Dad's going to work with her on her driving, because parents tend to get too jumpy and uptight.  My daddy is the best driving instructor I've ever met.  If he teaches her like he taught me, she's good to go.

I didn't post yesterday to get sympathy comments, but I appreciate knowing that I should update sometimes.  I'll do better.

Now it's time to watch Big Brother (recorded earlier) and unwind.  I'm still struggling with some things, but I'm putting them in better perspective.  I can do that, if given enough time.  My knee-jerk reaction is to cut some throats and say my piece.  With time, I realize that I don't need to walk through life with THAT big of a chip on my shoulder.

Nothin' Much

I don't have a lot to post.  Actually, I have a TON to post, but I can't do it in a public forum.  Both of my readers are welcome to email me if they wonder what's up with THAT statement.

I wonder if I should delete this blog.  Sure, I've wondered before and then decided against it, but seriously...shit.  I can barely take time to update facebook.  Blog post?  About what?  When?

The new puppy is settling in nicely.  He ate my bluetooth headset.  I'm not digging through poo.  I'll buy another.

Monica has purchased the red pickup that was Kevin's.  It's HER truck.  Kevin has the truck that he bought from his mom.  Me?  Yeah, I'm still driving the Smokin' Hot Neon.  We have transportation in spades.

OK, I'm out.  I just can't get past the rotten crap that I need to spill, but I have friends for that.  This blog is not the place.  I love you all both, and will try to update sometimes.  *sigh*

Off to the evil FB world.  LOL

Blogging on the Road

Our vacation started this morning.  Bright and early this morning.  We were up by 4 and out the door by 4:35.  Of course, we had to stop at WalMart and QT, since you can't start a vacation without giving those two some money.  We finally pulled out of Oak Grove at 5:35.

Within 30 minutes, we were on I-35 South.  This is where we'll stay...all day.  Seriously, until we're in Ft. Worth, we'll be on the same road.  Seems funny to me for some reason.

You should see the inside of this car, too.  I have a power inverter plugged in to the cigarette lighter, with the computer power cord plugged into the 110 and the iPhone plugged into the USB.  The aux. cord is plugged into the car stereo, so we can listen to Pandora through the car speakers.  There are so many cords up here that I can't get to my Diet Coke.  LOL  Fewer stops that way, I suppose.

So, we're on our adventure, and I just had to blog from the car, because I never have.  I got to borrow an "internet stick" for the trip.  I call it that because it makes my coworkers roll their eyes at me.

Tornado Devestation

I was going to make a post about our family members who are hurting, devastated, and lost everything.  I was going to post about how my girls are going to help.  I was going to post about how horrible it is.

I can't.

Please google "Joplin, MO" and read it for yourself.  Kevin's family is hurting and needing help.  Please pray or send good thoughts or do whatever it is that you do.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Rain

It's our spring busy season, so I have very little PC time.  I read what I can, play a game here or there, and that's it.  I am checking in to say:

"Rain, glorious rain, beautiful rain, wonderful rain!"

Good night.

Goodbye, Asshat.

Yes, he's gone.  It's huge.  Facebook lit up and I enjoyed posting about it as well.

To those of you who choose to say that it's a government conspiracy to fool us and those who choose to say that we're evil for celebrating and those who say that it's not real and those who only want to start an argument because they have no life:

Do your thing.  Go through life hating and being skeptical and trying to stir up the crap wherever you can.  You are better than me?  OK.  It's not an argument that I'm inclined to get involved in.  I'm sorry that you are bitter and sad.

God bless those who fight every day and night to keep me and my family safe.  I celebrate when a rapist is taken off the streets.  I celebrate when a child molester is captured.  It doesn't make rape or child molestation stop, but it is a win.

I count this night as a win.  5-1-11.  The good guys got a win.  We win.  I win.

Good night.
