I had a dream that I was in a plane crash last night. It was a glide landing. I don't remember much about it except that I started saying the lords prayer. I was holding onto someone. I think don't know who it was.
Then I had a dream that my mom was dead. All I remember is overwhelming sadness and banging my head on a concrete floor in agony. I woke up racked with sobs and tried to call her, but couldn't get her. I cried myself back to sleep. She called me later and totally understood why I was so upset. I love her so much.
I heard about Billy Mays dying and it reminded me of the dream I had.
I was so upset when Michael Jackson died, I actually cried. I never give a shit about celebrity death, but he was like a friend. I had an awesome little tape machine with a mic that had Thriller era MJ on it. Wish I still had it. I have been listening to him since it happened and making everyone I know do the same.
I bought a pool for the backyard. Its pretty big, pics to come. It deflated and Will and I just spent all morning fixing it.
Next week were going to Myrtle Beach for the holiday with our husband Jay. I'm fucking excited, but not as excited as all the people in my office will be that Im finally going to Myrtle Beach lol.
Life is getting there. |

I just saw these pictures on facebook of a bunch of my friends from high school back home attending a wine party at the home of a guy I know. A wine party. And his apartment was nice. Grown up nice. There were no video games or empty pizza containers anywhere. Furniture matched. Dishes matched. Me and these kids used to make hash brownies and listen at the door while their parents had sex. What happened to my friends? All that I can handle. But the kicker is, a wine party.
Is that the most fucking pretentious thing you've ever heard? hahahahahahaha |

I was driving home from Raleigh this weekend and I came across something on the side of the road out in the country. This is the front yard of a rather large family home, otherwise normal in appearance. I can only assume it was a warning to any who might do them harm.

I'm sure most of us are aware of the recent hardships felt by investors due to the direction of the current economy. I can't say how many reports of psychotic behavior I have encountered lately dealing with people who have lost most or all of what they invested. I am sick to death of it.
There is no such thing as free money. If you get lucky and find a dollar bill on the street, count your blessings. Investing is gambling, and gambling is dangerous. That is, if you consider throwing your money out the window of a moving car on the off chance that it will return after having attached itself to more money dangerous. Based on the payoffs of the dot com (god I hate that) and real estate highs of the 1990s, people of my generation have come to think of investing as wise, and even necessary. They forget that even during a rise in the general economy, your personal investments can falter. Our grandparents wouldn't have dreamed of investing in anything they didn't plan to work for. Because doing so is too risky. Its legitimately a better bet to just hide your cash in a mattress in most instances. They needed their money enough to take care of it, and to be satisfied with what they had until they could do better. See, this is the problem today. This concept of waiting and saving for what we want is so foreign to us as to be ridiculous. Plus, why take what you've got when someone else could give you what you want?
If you have 5 dollars, don't be happy with your five dollars. You need TEN dollars, you deserve ten dollars. Ten? TWENTY? ONE MEEEEEEEEELLION!!!! Except what people forget is that there is no such thing as free money. I know I'm repeating myself, but it seems like no one understands this. Most of the time, what a person invests for a "rainy day" could easily finance that rainy day already. But the American entitlement complex has taught us never to settle for what we have. Sure the founding fathers of America wanted us to have more. They wanted every man and woman to work hard and have everything they dream of having. Except the dreams are getting bigger, and the work is getting less and less important to anyone.
Take my advice. I have never lost anything due to bad investments. Why? I invest in nothing. Ever. If I did want to invest in something, if would only be money I could just as easily flush down the toilet. In a sense, this is what you might be doing with your investment so prepare for that. Taking your retirement or your life savings, your college fund or someone else's money and investing it is a nice idea, but be prepared to lose it. Then what? You might have taken that $20k and used it to travel, gone to school, or taken it easy. You might have financed the thing or things you wanted so desperately, needed so much. It might have been more than enough when you crunched the numbers. But no, there is never enough is there? We always need more.
Enjoy your sloth and your greed, because now you have none. And you deserve every penny. |

Its all over!
We had a great visit with my parents, it was awesome to see them. I got my new laptop and have stripped it. They both loved their Christmas presents which made me really happy. They both loved Matt which is also quite happy making.
I should be able to start my new job this week after a long bit of red tape due to my clearance. Strangely enough of all the inane things they made me resubmit, a drug test wasn't one of them. I guess they only care if I've changed my fingerprints, not if Ive used them to smuggle 30 lbs of crack into Miami.
I'm getting geared up for the big save and get healthy marathon Matt and I have committed ourselves to. I will it to work. It really needs to to make the transition smoother.
I realized how much I have to lose this week. I spoke to my parents about Adam and the real likelihood that he might try and do me and those I love harm if I were to cross him in the wrong fashion. I decided I would exterminate anyone who tried to deny me the pleasure of living a full life on my own terms. I hope I can live up to that.
Everything is falling into place. Life feels more uncertain than ever.
P.S. Jen, Matt got me a Chi for Christmas :) |

So Matt got me all kinds of awesome presents rather than the gift of the magi thing we agreed on. Grrrrr. And he GUESSED my one and only gag gift, so off to the store I go.
Plus I need tissues b/c all of a sudden my allergies decided I needed some extra fun during Christmas and my nose is running a fucking marathon. Its also freezing outside.
My moms are spending time with their friends and worthless family that hate them for Christmas. I was supposed to be working this week, but since I'm not they could be here. But I guess it sucks to alter those plans at no notice. But I haven't seen them in two years. I gave my mom a small guilt trip about it, which I feel kind of bad about. But she called this morning and was like "Are you sure you want us to come, I know you're not feeling well". Of course I want you to fucking come! That's all Ive fucking talked about for weeks. I'm starting to think that my step mother doesn't want to come at all for some reason b/c shes managed to thwart every other plan we've had to see each other in the last year. I wonder if its going to be odd for them to see without Adam or something. Whatever the reason, no. I wish they would change their plans and come for Christmas. I miss them.
I'm pathetic.
Otherwise, all is well...lol. |

Matt and I decided to go light on Christmas this year due to the impending move. We don't want to bog ourselves down with even more crap than we already have. He is going to get an old ring of mine that I love fixed so I can wear it again (setting broke and the marcasite is all busted) and I am going to upgrade the RAM in his computer. Its kind of sad not to see the bottom of the tree stuffed with tons of presents, but I'm really tired of being so materialistic all the time. What better time to exercise restraint than Christmas. I'm trying, I swear.
The above is important because I just got a new monitor yesterday. An entire 24" of LCD win and glory. I am finally where I want to be computer wise. Its awesome. I woke up early this morning just to play WoW and dick around on the internet b/c of this monitor. I got a great deal on it....phenomenal deal, actually.
( Pics b/c it totally happened )
I also made some baked spaghetti last night that was fucking delicious. I cant wait to reheat some of it.
I cant wait to see my mom next weekend! She is going to love all the music I have for her. Now I just have to buy presents for them. Christmas is sneaking the fuck up on me quicker and quicker every year. When I was a kid it took FOREVER for Christmas to come. What the hell happened? Other than my getting old that is.....
I have to get my fingerprints done today so I can start my awesome new job on Monday and get paid monies.
I have to say, life has been much worse :) |

We went to Texas. It was fun. I got to meet the polygamist gamers and I beat them at a game. Matt's family is pretty sweet. Planes are blah. Houston is a pretty cool guy. Eh has lots of strip clubs and doesn't afraid of anything.
While I was there I lost my nose ring and made the mistake of waiting a day to get a new stud. The hole closed and the guy at the shop had to reopen it for me. He was really nice and did it for free since I bought the stud there. It hurts, but my mom will be here in two weeks and damn if I'm going to miss her seeing it.
( I guess it DID happen )
I have to wait to start with my new department until next week because I have to get my fingerprints redone, as if they are going to change....and the police will only do them on Tuesday mornings. Blah lazy public officials. The guy who does them is a super nerd and really kind of awesome. I'm looking foreword to talking to him again.
But the good news is my Top Secret clearance was just officially approved!!!

We got a tree today!!!
We put up all the indoor decorations with the exception to trimming the tree. I need to buy some more white lights for the indoor and outdoor because mine seem to have disappeared. Then hopefully tomorrow we will be able to get the tree done. I also bought Prince Caspian and Metalocalypse season 2 today. We watched Prince Caspian by our naked tree and drank hot chocolate. It was win.
Next week we go to Texas to see Matt's grandma and for me to meet all his family. I'm pretty excited becasue Ive never been to Texas and Im happy for the free vacation. When we get home I will start my new awesome but something tells me soul draining job. Its OK because we need to save as much as we can for the move, and this job pays enough to at least rent my soul for a bit. Then the week after Christmas my moms come to visit and since they will be here I need to get them presents. I'm thinking sweaters from the Cracker Barrel store. You laugh, but they love that stuff.
Every night around this time for about two weeks I have become inexplicably nauseated. Its getting pretty irritating. I suppose its just a last bit of the illness I'm recovering from, but I could certainly do without it.
Oh yeah, and its really cold too. |

I am sick and it fucking sucks.
Im not even sick in any way I can treat. I just have a fever and feel like complete crap. I don't even feel terrible....just bad enough that I cant do anything worthwhile.
Matt made me some awesome beef tips and mushrooms tonight and then we watched "NeverEnding Story" and both cried when Artax died. Jesus christ that is possibly the saddest movie scene in history. We discussed how some asshole screenwriter was like "Hey guys, lets get kids emotionally involved with these characters and then just arbitrarily off one of them. Hahahahahaha."
Thats all. |
