14 dicembre It only takes a second...We all know it...don't need me to tell you how life can change in a *snap*. I put together a little Christmas letter to send to a few friends that I don't ever see. Added some photos cuz they knew me when my nieces and nephew were just wee ones and also a pic of my grandparents. I just finished it and my mom rings. My maternal grandfather had a massive stroke this morning and is in the hospital. His brain is swelling and they are just waiting to see if it will stop. I was just talking to my niece the other day about the reality that "that" phone call is going to come any time. Not many people live into their mid 90's, etc.
If you're one to pray, please ask whatever universe/higher power you subscribe to please please not let my grandparents suffer any longer. I don't understand it. I won't get into the whole conversation I have in my head [you're relieved. don't blame you.], suffice it to say I don't get why they have to linger in bad bodies when they have lived a full life.
My heart is heavy...my mom bears the brunt of the caregiving cuz she lives so close, despite having 4 siblings. Maybe I should go up there. ?? I'm so glad we had our family gathering at Thanksgiving this year instead of at Christmas. My grandpa asked if I would sing at his funeral with two of my cousins. Perhaps he knew something was coming.
Life sucks sometimes. 08 dicembre catching upSo much to do, so little time. My #2 niece is staying with us for a while so I don't have as much time to play on the computer. I've been slowly but surely completing my Christmas shopping. Gosh I don't like it. I much prefer to give throughout the year rather than pick one day and try to find the *one* perfect thing that says "I love you."
It's Ladies Days for me and I'm worn out. Hope all is going well for y'all.
peace 03 dicembre Fithly LanguageI'm sure I'll make some of you shake your heads in disapproval but I can't help it. I like the "F" word. I use what many describe as filthy language, mostly in my writings. With those special few of you that don't care or use it yourselves. I know when *NOT* to use it, of course.
Here's what I think is rediculous. I know a couple who have taught their children to use the word "bucket" instead of "butt." "Sit on your bucket." ??? huh??? I recently saw the mother have a hissy fit when her 3-yr-old said, "butt." And another child I know told me the classroom teacher gives out detention for saying "crap." ??????? Geeeeeeez. I say, pick your battles. THIS WEBSITE!!!!!Oh my freakin' word!!!!!! What the hell! [Feeling more like WTF!!!!???] One day I'm using this website and all is well. The next day I try to get on here and it's a freakin' maze! What happened???? Why can't I see my own page when I sign on? This REALLY pisses me off! [seething]
So anyway.... gotta figure this out cuz it's zappin' the joy, ya know what I mean?
Speaking of zappin' someone's joy.... holy f*** crap ~ imagine the most amicable person you know. Got the person called up? Okay, now put a male face on this lovely, gentle personality. This man is married, has a child [perhaps more than one]. Ok, now I'm gonna tell you that this man-next-door type has been arrested for creating a prostitution ring!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, I'm not joking. I used to work with this easy going fellow at OSU. He worked in Student Affairs. Here's the kicker: he used his work computer, yes you heard that correctly, his WORK computer to set up a raffle where men [or women, I suppose] could buy a ticket to win one hour with a local prostitute. And one of the servicewomen was only 17. It just goes on and on. One of the happy hookers is a sex abuse counselor with the State of Ohio something or other. Patty McFatty, whom I worked with at OSU and am now BFF's with, and I discussed this ad nauseam on Monday, thinking thru all the implications and consequences this creates! His wife, future employment...not to mention the thought of being someone's bitch in jail! Here's a link if you're curious about the facts. So pitiful!
So then, as Patty and I are thinking how *we* could never imagine *our* significant others doing such a thing...we think we know someone and **WHAM**! ~ hit between the eyes.... she tells me of a woman she knows whose husband kept their debt a secret until it reached over one million dollars!! $1,000,000????? oh my. As I told Patty, I wouldn't be left to pay off any of it cuz I'd be doing my time in jail for the beating I'd give him with a ballbat! wow.
 here's my new favorite thing ~ a bead ring where the beads are interchangeable!! LOVE IT! Hope Santa Clause knows my ring size! I also asked for a Pandora bracelet. Don't know if I've been that good. ???
I actually did some shipping today and FINALLY got into the Sprit! Going to the mall on a Wednesday afternoon makes for a much more pleasant experience than having to go on the weekend! I'm lucky.
And I wanna have the voice of Martina McBride. ::sigh::
What do *you* want for Christmas?
