Say What You Need To Say...

Since I can't sleep I thought I'd write a short (or not) post of the random things that are going through my over active brain right now. It's gonna be random, be prepared.

* I'm starting a new blog. Once I get it all set up I'll give most of you the link to it. I just need a space that my family can't read. You know, for when I need to vent. There's just somethings that I sometimes need to say that I'd prefer certain people don't see. I'm excited about it.

* I finally got my tabs (at the top of the page) working again. That was driving me nuts trying to figure out why the wouldn't show up lol.

* I'm patting myself on the back for my new layout. I'm loving the colors. I really liked the fall layout but the colors were so drab.


* I should know better than bragging about how well my new heartburn medicine is working (last night). I have terrible heartburn right now.


* My friend Jessica found out that she was pregnant on Wednesday. On Monday she found out that she'd had a miscarriage. It just breaks my heart for her. She's going to be a great Mother. She's taking it better than I expected her to though. I'm at least happy for that.


* My poor curling iron is dying a slow death. I usually just buy the Conair curling irons from Wal-Mart, like this one.

But I'm thinking I might want to try a different brand next time. So, what is your favorite brand of curling iron?

*   My straightening iron isn't far behind my curing iron. I love my Chi iron.

But it seems like I've only had this one for a year or so and it's already spazing out on me. It's my second one. I've already killed one of them lol. So, once again...what's your favorite brand straightening iron?

* To a certain someone...what I should have said was "Well excuse me for speaking the truth!" And while I'm at it, let me say this. Apologizing, even if you're right (you were so NOT right btw) is sometimes the "nice" thing to do. Duhh.

* Am I the only one who has some FB pet peeves going on? Here's just a short *snort* yeah right) list of mine.

• Calling someone "out" on FB (online period). Do you really think telling the whole damn world "someone" that you're gonna "beat their ass into the ground" is going to scare them? Nothing like showing your friends how ghetto badass you are!

• Posting pictures of your 7 year old child "shooting the bird". OK, it's cute when you catch a picture of a baby (or smaller child) doing it. But posting several pictures of your 7 year old daughter doing it (on purpose, usually because you told them to.) isn't going to win you any father of the year awards.

• Posting pictures of your kid throwing gang signs. Really? He's 6.

• Letting everyone on FB know that you and your husband are arguing. And then getting pissed off at people because their comments aren't taking your "side".

• 10 million people all trying to be the first person to tell you that Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, and whoever else died. I mean, if you see it on your wall (from your friends posting it) more than five times, then I'm sure the rest of us know.

• Letting your 5-12 year old kids open a FB account period. Have you ever heard the word pedophile?

• Letting your young daughters post inappropriate (in my opinion) pictures of themselves. You know, the "sexy" poses in all those pics that you commented on saying "look at you miss sexy" or "your beautiful". *shakes head* 

First of all, she hasn't even hit double digits yet. Secondly, why would you want her to think that pictures like that (of a young INPRESSIONABLE girl) are sexy or beautiful?

All I can say to the above is "You know there's a trailer park attached to that somewhere!"

• Telling everyone and anyone who'll listen (on FB) how much of a deadbeat your baby daddy (or baby momma) is. If they're a deadbeat take them to court. Don't blast it on FB for everyone, including your child to see. And who (in their right mind) wants their child to know that their "Daddy don't care about them!"??

• Family arguments where the whole family gets involved and starts leaving nasty comments on each other's profiles. Trashy.

• Posting that "so and so" deleted and blocked you and how you could care less. You must care if you noticed.

• Constantly complaining. Don't you ever have anything positive to say? No? Let me share a little secret with you that my Mom told me when I was young. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Yes, I realize that this blog entry totally goes against the above quote. Shut up. It's my blog. Lmao.

• Posting thousands of  "self portraits". Especially the one's that you've taken in the mirror. Don't get me wrong, I've taken a pic or two of myself, even in the mirror. But it was only so I could show off a hair cut or something. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many of them. See this example below...

This is a girl that I used to work with. She's gorgeous. No doubt about it. She's also one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Not the brightest bulb in the bunch, but sweet as can be.

These pics kill me though. And this is only a few of them. There are lots more. Even worse...the damn "smooch" lips. Uugh. That's so last year. (yes, I'm being sarcastic).

You've just gotta love the first picture on the second row. If you look to the far left of the picture you can almost see her daughter sleeping in the back seat while she's taking pictures. As.she's.driving. Wow.

On a side note, HOLY BOOBS Batman. I don't care what you do, you're not hiding those puppies. Everyone knows that they're there. Do you really have to show them off in almost every picture? (If you're a guy I know what your answer will be.)

Am I hatin'? Damn skippy lol. I wish I looked that good!

• Posting open ended status messages that make everyone ask you "What's wrong?" "Are you OK?" Basically, looking for pity. If you need some support, cool. But don't leave a message that makes everyone worry about you and then not answer them for a few hours. You know, for the "dramatic" effect. Can you say emo drama queen?

• "Hacking" into your boyfriends (or girlfriends) FB and posting a status about how great their girlfriend (or boyfriend) is. It's annoying. Stop it. While you're at it, trying growing up a little. You're in your 40's. It's just weird.

• TYPING IN ALL CAPS. DO PEOPLE REALIZE HOW DAMN ANNOYING THIS IS? 

• Last but not least is all the game request that people send me. I do not want to help you plow any fields or any other such chore's that one would do on a farm. I don't want to help you with any kind of game. Did you ever learn to play alone as a child? And why is necessary to send me three or four a day? It seriously makes me want to delete you.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I spend too much time on FB lol.

Celebrating Life...Don't forget My Giveaway!

Yeah, I changed the layout...again. Y'all know me, I can't keep one layout for long, I get bored. I think I'll keep this one for a while though lol. So, what do ya think? Like it? Not like it? Let me know, I'm curious!

I know that my blog entries have been a bit on the depressing side lately, such is life. I do want to change that, but sometimes life just gets in the way.

Hubs and I have decided to just take the week that his parents are (going to be) here in stride and not let it get to us. Oh...we've also decided that we'll be making some "day trips" quite a bit that week. Lol...hubs has been so aggravated the last few days that he decided he just had to"let it go!"

It's not always as easy for me, but I've decided to follow his plan. I can't keep holding it in, I've just got to let it go. It's not healthy for me to hold my feelings in. Having Fibromyalgia sometimes dictates what I can and can't let go of. Because when I get all wound up, all stressed out...I have a flare up. I have to make a choice to let go. So, that's what I'm doing.

As long as hubs and I are on the same page, I'm all good. It helps to know that I'm not alone in the way that I feel though.

Hubby's PS3 crashed last night. I thought I was going to see a grown man cry. He's been working on it ever since and it's still not working right. Guess there's a new one in our future soon lol.

My sister called me on Thursday to tell my that my Godchild's (the one who just got married last month) step mother passed away suddenly. She stopped breathing and was rushed to the hospital and (from what I understand) passed away a couple of hours later. She was only 48 years old.

I'd just seen her at Destiny's wedding and she looked fine, healthy and happy. I feel so bad for my ex bro in law, he adored that woman! I also feel bad for Destiny, she thought a lot of Phyllis and she was good to Des! She took really good care of her.  I'm so proud of Des though, she's being so strong for her Daddy. She's taking care of him.

From what my Sister told me they think it was liver failure. Apparently she didn't even know there was anything wrong with her liver. How crazy is that? Anyway...I thought I'd share some pics from the wedding of Phyllis and Russell (Destiny's Dad and Step Mom).

I mean, how healthy does she look? These pics were take a month ago. It's hard to imagine that you can have liver failure and not know it, that you can be here one minute and gone the next. Though I know it happens every day. Such a sad situation.

One of the girls that I used to work with her lost her husband on the same day, he'd been having health problems for the last few years. They were married for 36 years. My heart just breaks for her.

Makes me realize how thankful I should be (and I am) for what I have in my life. You just never know!
