What?!? So it's better to leave kids in cold loveless group homes- packed in like sardines; then to let a loving family bring them home- to a real 'home' , just because they are smokers!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

HALLOWEEN HATER

I Just want to say... I HATE halloween...
My dogs constant barking all night, at every knock, me having to get up and down, up and down, up and down at every knock, up and down, up and down, and then more up and down. The cats going crazy at all the dog barking, trying to run out the door every time I'm getting up and down, up and down opening the door, closing the door, opening the door and closing the door...OH MY!!!! Not to mention the history of halloween and its very evil connotations. I challenge you to do some research people and see what your really celebrating, and teaching your kids to celebrate.

Life...Death...And Enjoying The Big White Volcano...

So... I'm back, well kinda, sorta... At least enough time to post. In the last month my wonderful, awesome, beautiful, most favorite person in the world died... That would be my grandma... Also my cousin tried to kill himself, he slit a huge nasty, almost arm and hand disabling slice through his forearm. But through facing death, and an almost death this month, I have also experienced "life"... more on that later in a future post... And lastly on a smaller note, I coughed my way to a broken rib! I was so sick and coughing like a maniac for 3 weeks that finally my poor rib snapped. How crazy is that!!! And painful!

Anyway, things have changed massively in my life this month. I'm now working two new jobs, and also packing, trying to move to another state, sell my house, and waiting for news if I can get a loan for the new house that I want in the new state. Right now I'm surrounded by forests, pine trees, rivers, rain, and as I call it "a big white volcano" lol. But because I'm so desperate for the sun and heat, and wanna move to the hot desert lol , I have really forgotten how beautiful it really is to live here in the northwest. Now that I'm hopefully moving soon to a wonderful hot, sunny, yet ugly, very ugly desert- I have realized how much I really have taken for granted living in such a beautiful area. Today as I was driving down the road towards the big white volcano- I was thinking "WOW! LOOK! I live right next to a big white volcano and I don't even appreciate the awesomeness of it! And how cool it is to live near such a gigantic beautiful death trap of fire- if it so decided to blow."

It truly is such a magnificent scene to behold, and I have taken for granted the view out my window. See, before, every time I'd look outside and see rain, forests, and the big white (snow covered) volcano it was just a reminder of how I longed for the sunshine, and warmth of the sun, and hot weather. But now that a move seems to be on the horizon, I'm actually now a bit sad to leave such amazingly beautiful scenery I really haven't appreciated these last few years. So I decided to enjoy the big white volcano from now on... :)

Sad But Sweet

Thanks to all who privately messaged me wondering where I have been... This month has been an insane month- emotionally, and physically...I got really sick, so sick I actually had to go to the doctor, I usually take a bunch of vitamins, herbs, teas etc. But not this time, I needed antibiotics etc. Also I coughed so much and so hard that I cracked a rib- yes soooo painful, Im all bound up with a white girdle thing lol... But all of this is the least of the problems..

My cousin who I had blogged about with addictions etc. He tried to kill himself, he slit his wrist/forearm. It was a horrible slice too, he needed a bunch of stiches and needs surgery because he cut threw tendons or nerves or something- he needs repair surgery, and now his hand doesnt work... so sad.. ugh, pray for him please. So we were trying to get him into treatment, commited to a psyc. hospital, anything...

And then on top of all that, my wonderful awesome grandma died last week. She raised 6 kids and all her grandkids... She was truly amazing, such a beautiful soul, she will be missed dearly... She died so peacefully, her death I can only describe was "sweet" Its like God carried her home into heaven so sweetly and peacefully... I know I will see her again, so the sadness is not overwhelming... The hope of heaven makes each day bearable :) love you grandma!!!!!!!!!

Psalm 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints."

Shes finally home with the Lord- thats what makes it a precious day, sad, but sweet.

Addictions...UGH...

Ok...Yeah I know, a bummer kind of subject, but a very real issue that I think needs to be addressed. As I type, my alcoholic cousin who I love and adore is once again passed out on my couch. He's so young (32) and just killing himself by drinking himself to death. We have tried to help him so many times. For sooo many years.. It's so hard to watch someone you love, not care, and not want help. I realize you cant help people who don't want help, but its sooo hard to watch people you love destroy their lives. 2 days ago he agreed to check himself into the emergency room because he coughs up blood, poops blood, and has a huge swollen belly due to his liver/drinking, and horrendous stomach pain. He stayed one night at the hospital, and got some tests done, but he still needed more, for tomorrow, but he checked himself out because he wanted to smoke a cigarette... but the cigarette was not really the reason.... several hours later he bought a bunch of alcohol and "back to normal" which for him is throwing up all over the couch, and stumbling down the hallways, falling all over the place, wandering the streets etc.... So why do I share this story? Well I'm sure many of you have family or friends that you love going through the same stuff... Anyone have advice? or even success stories to share? It would be much appreciated.
We are soon planing a family intervention for him.

TAKE THE TRAIN! DRIVE YOUR CAR! TAKE THE BUS!

Ok bad, bad, baaaad week for planes...In the last 2 weeks, 2 different flights have clipped wings. 1 flight had both pilots asleep at the "wheel" and missed their planned landing. 1 flight had landing gear issues. 1 flight had a women die on board, she needed oxygen; and the plane supposedly was not equipped with the proper medical items. And she died, gasping for air while the whole plane watched, including her family member. And to top it off, the plane did not land early in Florida for an emergency landing, they went as scheduled to New York, moved the dead body up to first class, and covered the dead body up with a blanket, with the grieving family member who just witnessed their loved one gasp to death..... OH I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE LAWSUIT!!!! I hope that family takes that airline for every penny they can! Now as this last story continues to break and be revealed, I will update this post accordingly as the facts come out... But either way the last thing I want to do right now is go buy a plane ticket for my trips... I'd rather drive!

The Flying Ninja

a member of a feudal Japanese society of mercenary agents, highly trained in martial arts and stealth (ninjutsu), who were hired for covert purposes ranging from espionage to sabotage and assassination....

yeah thats me...

yes its true-i am a ninja.

When my cousin and I were little, we'd dress up in our little black ninja suits, with the hood even, and the little black featherweight shoes, and with our real actual ninja stars, and nunchucks (who on earth gives an 8 and 9 year old real weapons to play with lol?) Anyway, we'd run around at night outside in the dark, (even better when it was pitch black) playing, hiding behind corners, on balconies, in bushes, in trees, jumping all over the place, climbing walls, leaping from walls, throwing our ninja stars everywhere...rofl! I'm suprised we never broke any bones, or put someones eye out lol...We were crazy, quick, fast, agile, little obsessed ninja freaks...I can't even count how many ninja movies we watched. We'd say "I wanna be a ninja when I grow up".lol.
What's funny now is my little 7yr old cousin thinks I'm a ninja because I took karate for 5 years..lol!funny! He tells his friends and our neighborhood kids "My cousin is a ninja" rofl!

Online Overload

*sigh* how many email accounts do you have? how many different blogs do you have? how many times do you just get another email because your tired of your email address? how many blogs have you started, posted for awhile, but then opened a new one because you got bored of the web address? or of the email that was linked to that blog? how many various accounts on "this and that" online junk do you have? Can you say ONLINE OVERLOAD! I'm guilty. It's tiring, all the passwords, all the email names, blogs, various accounts for various stuff, what email goes with what account? what password goes with what email with what account for what blog? rofl! It's exhausting... So over the last month I have deleted a bunch of email accounts, several blogs, and many, many, many, lol other accounts. I decided to just combine my blogs & posts all into this one. Some are from over 3 years ago lol! I do still have way too many emails, and other accounts to get rid of, other blogs to delete, but at least its a start lol. Early online spring cleaning.... it feels ohh soooo good to hit that "delete account" button - try it!

Museum of Idolatry

Here's a website I came across, its interesting, funny, and yet sad all at the same time, go check it out- alittleleaven.com

Summary of 2007's dumb emails

This is funny, someone sent this to me...

"I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put 'Under God' on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me for l ife .

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore , and Uzbekistan

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 I dropped in the parking lot because e it probably w as placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician...

Have a wonderful day....

Oh, by the way.....A South American scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late."
