It has been aloooong few days! I am glad November is finally here. That of course means we are that much closer to April and then…no snow. Wish mother earth could just skip the cold stuff. I cant stand it at all. Im still trying to figure out how to deal with Xmas. I hate it. Its wrong anyhow as far as the whole Jesus birthday thing, and on top of that, its excruciatingly commercial. I would much rather celebrate birthdays instead. They are all spread through out the year nd you dont have to spend a huge chunk of cash ll at once. Makes sense to me really. It also gives you more time to think creativly about each individual person I think.
I am going to try to survive this year. Could be tricky though!

My Sister… KICKS ASS.
She turned me on to this great streaming radio station a while ago and I am absolutely cracked out on it!

It is absolutely wonderful and of course I am sitting here jammin out to it right now.
I just thought it wouldn’t be right for me not to share this with everyone.
I guess the official spot for turkey day will be at Megans house this year. Totally my fault. I volunteered her in order to get out of doing it at my place. I did it once. Turns out Narcolepsy and cooking all day and night dont mix well. I had a hell of a time. It is totally her turn. I am excited cuz she just moved and I want to see her new place. She just painted her dining room also.
Its going to be fun. I hope she is unpacked by then!

So technically this is old news. but I have been busy lately. so get over it. lol.
Some dude got murdered in my sisters back yard. Or to damn close to it anyway. Happily she was not at home at the time so there was no cause to believe she was a witness. PHEW!
I am still concerned though. Even the slightest trace of brains could bring zombies dangerously close to the house. I hope they had a kick ass clean up crew.

My nephew says the funniest things. I never know when I am about to collapse when I am around him. Yesterday, he did it again. Happily I was sitting eating dinner at the table and instead of landing in my food, I went sideways onto my sisters arm. Hurray for Sisters!
My Mom was telling J that since he switched schools and is no longer in his, that she has no one to talk to but herself on the way to school in the morning, since she is the one who used to take him to class. J then of course got this insanely funny face happening and said ” Grandma! Only old people talk to themselves!” It was pretty classic.
The good news is, (especially for my mom) that apparently J doesn’t think she is old. Which, I don’t either… but that must have been very reassuring. That or perhaps a moment of realization. I’m not sure. I should ask her.
All the same, at the time it was freaking hilarious. He has that way about him. He is just like his Dad and Grandpa.

“Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey.” ~ Alex Noble
Working on the NEW plan. I always have one. I adjust them as necessary to fit the situation. But this one is brand spanking new. And it will totally kick ass.
So the New plan is this:
Electroneurodiagnostic Technologist with PSG concentration
Yeah. Took me a minute to pronounce it too. But, I been practicing. I decided to go this route instead of the Respiratory Therapist route. Though I may add that in later to solidify my goal. I’m not sure. I am still working out the details.
I was surprised how difficult it was to find a school for this. Though, it’s really not, you just have to know where to look…. and I didn’t. But I got it figured out. There is a possibility I may have to move in order to do all this, but for the time being many of the classes I need are right here. So I’m sticking with that for now. I have a good start. So that is helpful. If I do have to move, it will be somewhere warmer than this!
Its really nice to be finally taking care of my goals instead of constantly trying to help everyone else. I’m always doing that. Not anymore. I have already let to much pass me by.

After an excruciating night trying to catch up on some English classes I missed last week, I have come to the conclusion that I missed out on more than a weeks worth of work. It seems that some things have drastically changed in the last fifteen years. Well, perhaps not drastically, but enough to warrant some major confusion on my part. Clearly the way things have been taught during this time has taken a turn. I expected the computer thing to be small hurdle of course, (I am not the greatest typist) but the language it self has actually changed. Word usage, what is acceptable what is not, and even the words themselves are all seeming brand new to me.
For example: Ain’t. What happened here? I specifically remember the old saying, ” Ain’t Ain’t A word because it Ain’t in the dictionary.” I was actually reading an article in my text book that used this word and I thought to myself, What kind of idiot publisher let this slip through? I sort of laughed a bit at that. But then I saw in the same article, the use of the word Execs. Execs meant as a shortened version of Executives. Not an abbreviation really; just slang term. I was actually annoyed enough to look it up. and apparently it is appropriate to use it that way now. While I had the handy dandy Webster out, (2006 edition) I went ahead and looked up the word ain’t. And you ain’t gonna believe what I found out there.
Well, regardless of how well I did in English courses years ago, its plain to see this quarter ain’t going to be a cakewalk after all. I am definitely going to have some serious work ahead of me. Mostly the new basics, which are absolutely beyond me today. But tomorrow will be better. I hope.
(Ain’t? Seriously? What is the apostrophe for? Ai Not? I’ll never get this.)

I cant talk about Last Monday. It was a bad day though. At some point of time when I am allowed to speak of it I will. I am still waiting. It is now a week later and I am still waiting. I guess this is going to be one of those to be continued type of things.
Speaking of to be continued…. I meant to write a really cool story for this blog, I posted about it before, but then Last Monday happened and I cant remember the dream I had now that inspired my story. Its like…it was just wiped away by sadness. I really should have at least taken notes. I have no one to fault but myself for that.
Perhaps Some Monday in the future I will be able to share Monday’s of past… but for now I will sit and wait.

Very soon, Bite Size Life will be offering blogs and dream journals to its members. I am looking forward to it. I am hoping to see more of my friends here. I have been here for over a year now. And it can get lonely. LOL.
The whole “If you build it they will come” theory is really kicking in here. 149 new members in les than a month is pretty impressive. I dont know how they do it. But I think an AWSM is in order here.

I am totally ick right now. Normally I would not share this, but I see this an important lesson for us all. Especially myself. I hope to not let this happen in the future.
Drama and heartbreak have taken its toll on me. Today I discovered that it is Wednesday. Depression set itself so deep in my head this time that I did not even realize it was happening. And now that I feel better… I realize Im totally gross at the moment.
People deal with depression differently. I usually crawl in my bed and wait for it to be over. I dont eat, I dont communicate well, I dont leave my house, get dressed or take a shower.
now I am feeling a bit better, I realize this has been going on since Sunday. And I am totally rank.
There are two angles to this. I should know better than to let other people get to me, than the way they do. I dont know why I think it is so damn important to be concerned about others, when it is a detriment to myself. I need to find the balance. The line to draw. because it isnt there. and its my own fault. I should be able to care without letting myself fall apart.
But it is also important for myself and others to realize, the things we say and do greatly effect others around us. Its more than hurt their feelings. you could be disrupting their entire lives. Making them so miserable, its beyond belief. even if it was not the intention.
Everyone is responsible for their actions. You have a choice on how you will handle a situation, and how you will react to it also.
I only wish this clarifying moment had come to me 4 days ago before I let other peoples poor behavior have a direct result on mine.
This is not directed at anyone or any group of people. Well, except for myself. Its just good advice I am will share.
Im totally getting in the shower now. I stink.
