A Lot Of Things Have Been Going On Lately

Continuum~ theories or models explain variation as involving a gradual quantitative transition without abrupt changes or discontinuities. It can be contrasted with ‘categorical’ models which propose qualitatively different states.

(as stated by Wikipedia)

 

Times…

they are a changin’.

 

I can’t figure out what exactly is changing to put me in such a state as I’m in. 

 

I haven’t wanted to touch the computer in the past few days. 

 

I feel as if everything is abstract and my brain cannot comprehend. 

 

I’m wondering if this is some defense mechanism and I shouldn’t question it, just be grateful??  Maybe if I didn’t feel so disconnected I’d be in a panic or worse…

Yay Candles, And Spa Products, and Parties!

I don’t usually do things like this considering this is my personal blog, but…

Things have been going terrible with my regular job, and I do PartyLite parties every once in a while. I want to start making a steadier income on the parties, and I am willing to give special gifts to those who either host a party, or refer others to me. The party does not have to be hosted at home, it can be in a restaurant, at the church or local VFW hall. I am even willing to help you host a book show, or a game of Squares.

PartyLite is always hiring, and there is no start up cost, you just need the desire to work!

FYI…
There are only a few days left to order from the Fall/Holiday 08 catalog. Contact me for a list of retiring items.

Awe Hell…

Wow, just wow. The past month has been a blur of worries and shortcomings. I’ve been so flipped out over all kinds of things that I haven’t even cracked open my Reader to read blogs.

I feel kind of terrible about it. I’m going to try and do some catching up today.

Merry Christmas for those you who celebrate it, and for those who don’t, I’m sorry you have to swallow all our good cheer, but I’m going to wish you a Merry Christmas anyway, because I appreciate you and I don’t care what you celebrate, I’m still wishing you happy times with your friends and your family. And if you’ve got snow, I’m wishing you safe travels wherever you are. It’s raining ontop of the snow here, and I hear it is supposed to freeze later, which is going to make a serious mess. *sigh*

Happy Christma-Kwanz-a-Chanukah!!!!

Listen, I Tell You!!!

 

 

 

You know what bothers me above all else?  When people don’t fucking listen. 

 

 

 

 

 

They pretend they’re listening and hear some of what you say, but they didn’t get the important part and when they form a reply, they spew what little they heard but then totally stab at you.  Which makes them sound like an asshat because if they would have listened to every thing you had to say, they would realize their reply was totally retarded. 

 

Partial-

1.being such in part only; not total or general; incomplete

2. pertaining to or affecting a part

 

If the person I am talking about would have not only read, but absorbed my entire e-mail, they would have seen the word PARTIAL.  Then the e-mail they wrote in reply wouldn’t have been so redundant.  I’m sure they didn’t mean to sound patronizing, but it was patronizing, and if they had absorbed the word partial in my e-mail, they would realize their error.  I shouldn’t let something like this bother me, but I hate when people don’t listen to me!!!!!!!!!!  Just because you heard me doesn’t mean you were listening.

 

End Angry Rant

 

 

Yesterday the sky opened up and dropped approximately a foot of snow on me and my fellow Michiganders.  I’m not sure how much it snowed elsewhere; I was just concerned with the fact that I did not work yesterday because my poor little car was buried in a snow bank.  I did get to spend some quality time with Joe, which is always a plus.  I am at his house writing this.  He’s about to have some friends over and play lots of videogames, which I would usually totally be up for, but the games they like are ones that I am no good at, and I almost feel as if this was supposed to be boys’ day without me. 

 

We had a scare with my aunt the other day.  She thought she was having a heart attack so she went to the ER.  It turns out the accident she was in a few years ago popped a rib out of place and they didn’t catch it.  The rib is rubbing on a nerve and causing chest pain.  They’re going to give her physical therapy to loosen the muscles and then pop the rib back where it belongs.  Yuck.

 

I’m feeling a little guilty because we were supposed to make Christmas cookies today and I totally forgot about it and now I’m quite a ways away from her house.  She told me not to worry about it, and she does have two of my cousins over, so I’m torn.  I dunno.

 

I’ve got more to say, but I don’t have the patients to say it right now.  Forgive me.  Try and survive the holidays, okay?  And if you’ve already hit some holiday parties, feel free to rant about it in the comments.  I love ranting- can’t ya tell?

Good Bye 2008, and Good Riddance!!

I’ll admit it, I’m more than a little, oh, shall we say, NOT fond of 2008.  It has not been a good year, to anyone as far as I can tell. 

I think the only real good things that have come out of this year would be the movie and meeting new friends. 

I can’t yet say that Obama being elected is a good thing, because I cannot forsee the future, but I do know that his presidency is going to be hard. 
Real hard -

Like am I sure I really want to do this hard. 

All we can do is pray to whomever roams the skies that he has the wisdom to change what he can and accept the things he can’t. 

I’m also praying that no white idiots get violent ideas in their heads.  The color of his skin WILL NOT affect how he leads our nation. 

I am definately learning how little I can live on.  I don’t mean I’m living out of my car or anything like that, I just mean I am learning how little money I can get by with.

Share the Wealth

DadGoneMad had a great idea- instead of worrying about all those material gifts you can’t give, go give comments instead!!!  Even though I’m not part of the elite bloggers, I will definately be sharing my comment wealth.  We’re commenting our balls/boobs off until January 1, 2009.  Won’t you join us?

Bah Effing Humbug

If things don’t straighten out pretty soon, heads are gonna roll. My stress level is about to hit kill every one with a pen/and or the closest object to me.
I’m sorry I haven’t updated in a while, I don’t have access to a computer on the movie set, and by the time I’m away from the set, I just want to curl up in a little ball and sleep. I’m at the “real job” right now and we’re super busy today. *frustrated sigh* I’ll do a real post soon, I promise.

You Know You’re a Stuffy Adult When… (And a Discussion About Holidays)

You know you’re a stuffy adult when you want practical things for Holidays that you need instead of cool things that you dream about.  I guess I’m writing this post to put abstract thoughts together into something semi-organized.  I know, it’s a really funny way of doing that.  Exercise your I want I want I want in the comments; you’re more than welcome to do so.

Things I’d like for Christmas, but I probably won’t get:

A new set of Tires (I got new tires a few years ago for Christmas, but then some idiot kids slashed two of them, so now I have two nice all terrain tires, and two crappy Wal-Mart tires.  (It was Sunday and I had very little money on me, and I was over 40 miles from home.)

Clothes (considering I just had a baby two months ago Sunday, nothing I own fits.  It’s either tacky big, or way way way too small. But I’m working on that, I have a gym membership that Donna gave me.)

Online Business School from Naomi

Dance of Shiva as mentioned by Havi

Engagement Ring (Which is kind of unfair of me, because Joe and I agreed he’d buy me a ring after I paid off my debt, I work 15 hours a week, so I can’t even pay my bills, let alone my debt.  But getting a ring for Christmas would be so romantic, and yeah, yeah, yeah, somewhere in there I’m a hopeless romantic.)

My silly text books for next semester (pretty self explanatory)

New Paint Job for my car (I live in Michigan, and Michigan is hard on cars, plus I live in a gravel road, my hood is chipping clear coat.)

 

Man, when did I become such a stuffy adult?  Geeze, I thought I promised myself I’d never grow up.  Of course, if I asked the little kid in me what she’d want for Christmas, she’d say:

PSP and God of War game (yeah, I want the PSP just for that game.  Plus, I never had a Gameboy when I was a kid, and I really wanted one.)

A membership to thesimsresource.com (I download way too much shit for my Sims games.  Sooner or later I’ll have to sort through it, because some of the files are missing their meshes.)

My own Domain name (at this point this is fairly impractical, considering I have no real reason to have one yet, and no, I do not have $5-$10 to spend a month on one.)

Playstation 3 with Prince of Persia, Mortal Combat vs. DC Universe, Dead Space, and Rise of the Argonauts. (I’ve gotten away from platform gaming since Joe is into Guild Wars, but I miss platforms.  I would hide in my room forever with a PS3)

All the Stuff Packs for The Sims2 (they’re about $20 a piece, and there is like six of them.  I can’t justify that spending, especially right now.)

The Host by Stephenie Meyer (the same author that brought us the Twilight Series)

The Shanara Series by Terry Brooks (I haven’t read a single one, but I hear they are fabulous, and it sounds like enough reading to keep my going for a while, of course, if I had a PS3 and some games, I’m not sure if I’d ever read/eat/sleep/leave my room ever again.)

 

Okay, back to reality.  I have a homework assignment for you. 

In the comments I want you to give me the most ridiculous (in your own mind) things you’ve wanted or still want for any Holiday.  (not just Christmas, Chanukah, or Kwanzaa, I’m talking birthdays and the whole nine yards.  Some people get gifts on Easter of all things.  I guess it just depends on which Holidays are the most important to you.)

I also want to start a little debate about holidays.  As Havi brought up in her post yesterday, she doesn’t think Chanukah is the most important Jewish Holiday to her.  And being fairly uninformed about the Jewish faith, I don’t even know about half the Holidays, never mind which ones are the most important to the people of the faith.   

I also want to know how you feel about giving/receiving gifts, and have we really sold out our Holidays? 

Are Christmas and Easter really about Jesus anymore? 

Where the hell does Valentine’s Day really come in? 

Who decided Sweetest Day should really be a Holiday?
