Why is it that when there is a real threat to the country and a leader chooses to respond in a real and effective way rather than dithering with people about it, liberals get all bent out of shape? You threaten my family and I won't be diplomatic with you, threaten my country and my fellow americans, i don't see cause for diplomacy there either. ( Read more... )

What a weekend! jack's brother got married yesterday, and his mother's side of the family is enormous, and ENERGETIC! Very sweet and warm and i love them all, but boy am i worn out from being in this mob for two days straight. It was really fun though, and everyone was so happy at the wedding. Chuck (the now married one) is the first of all the ( Read more... )

For anyone who knows how disorganized I am, just imagine me trying to organize whole bunches of skin care products and cosmetics, keep track of mileage and document every expense, all while figuring out what the hell I am doing. PLUS, to be good at this, I have to be able to approach strangers or near strangers and talk them into getting a facial ( Read more... )

I kept meaning to update my journal, but then I kept having something else I had to take care of. I signed up a couple days ago to be an Independent Mary Kay Beauty Consultant.

The one on the top is closest to the kind we ordered, except with a ring of red gold around the edges. Really beautiful, and unique. The designs will be mirror images of each other, and like ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder what kind of person I could have been if my parents had seen my mental and emotional pain earlier and had taken steps to do something about it. I wonder where I would be right now if they had taken me to the hospital when I showed them the cuts on my arm the first time I ever cut myself instead of becoming angry at me and ( Read more... )

I feel lousy today. Not mentally, just physically. Apparently I am allergic to work, since I was ok the whole time I was home not working. But now i got a headache and sore throat and sniffles. poor me. I better not be nasty sick over the weekend, or I am gonna be all sorts of pissed off. I could also be feeling lousy because I just started ( Read more... )

I keep starting posts and then not finishing them. I really have to work on being less distractable ( Read more... )

This is something that has bothered me for YEARS; for as long as I have had a political opinion, it has been in opposition with the opinions of my parents and my sister. That by itself would not be such a bad thing, if I felt that my family had any respect for my views. Instead, my conservative viewpoint has been derided in turns as "youthful ( Read more... )
