Around the Water Cooler.

Needless to say I have been neglecting you blog, and I am sorry but I have been working my butt off. I still love you though and thought I would do some posting this afternoon. I want to talk about several things but the one that is most on my mind at the moment is the Dad that used facebook to teach a lesson to his daughter. ( http://youtu.be/kl1ujzRidmU)  I know it's blowing up the internet at the moment and I am not helping but I was reading the comments and was astonished by the amount of people who were so.....negitve. Many of them were insinuating that he was a bad drunk, and that he wasn't setting a good example for this daughter, so on and so forth.

I say 'Way to go!" In today's world parents are very restricted in their ability to disapline/punish their children. This does kinda go back to things we have talked about in the past. I have to say that in a world of computers, Iphones, and several different types of technology it can be hard to monitor what your children say, who they talk to, and what goes on in the wild blue yonder of the interwebs. I don't think that this was an overreaction because this girl had already gotten in trouble for something similar.

Breastfeeding- Back in the spotlight.

While I was waiting for the computer tonight to write my blog for Wednesday my little sister Candi called for us to hear this story on Yahoo about breastfeeding and wanting it to be on Sesame Street as a healthy, natural way for babies to be fed. (http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/sesame-street-teach-kids-breastfeeding-185000424.html) While most of the article was about thoughts and opinions on the subject my other sister Melissa requested that this be the spotlight of my Wednesday Blog. So this one is for you Mel.

Let me take you back to yester-year when I was a child. This issue had just really hit it's hay-day. I was probably in my early years 7-10 and I remember my parents and my friend's parents talking about it. People were out raged by such a menial thing that it was banned almost everywhere and seen as gross or disgusting. I think this is really interesting since in today's society it is ok to see women with pasties on their breasts. Somehow though we seem to think that mothers need to whisked away in a room secluded from everyone else. Breasts are FOR this purpose, "for babies not men" as Mel was saying. I don't think that putting a negitive conotation on this is good. I think that women should be free to breastfeed in public places but I also believe there is a way of doing it that does make it easier for others to handle.

Why is Getting High Cheaper than Going to the Movies?

Recently I have noticed that getting high is so much cheaper than going to the movies. For $20 you can buy a dub and get 4-5 people high but to take that many people to the movies you pay almost if not more than $100.
 $8.00 for 4 tickets= $32.00
$6.00 for 2 combo popcorn and sodas=$12.00
TOTAL= $44.00
 This is not including the gas to get there and back and any extras.

Getting high is also cheaper than bowling. The only thing that I can think of that would be cheaper is if you rented movies and then they couldn't be  new releases.

It is no wonder that kids these days smoke pot till their brains' rot it's the cheapest form of entertainment.

Christmas is Right Around the Corner and I Have a Date!

So let me start off this blog by apologizing I have been uber busy working lately, and not posting. Who knew that temping could be so busy?! So I apologize and I will start posting regularly again. So the schedule will not change Wednesdays will still be the day.

Update Time!: I have been working like crazy lately and all graveyard. I think it's starting to drive some people a little mad. Mostly because I have no idea what day it is and I keep referring to days not as I run into them but more on my sleeping schedule. Oh well.  Jeff also has been working like crazy, usually opposite shifts. I feel like I haven't seen him in a while.

I am especially excited cause tomorrow I have a date with Jeff. Not that we haven't like gone and got dinner but it has been a lot of not so date type things like grabbing dinner if we are out, mostly to go things. Tomorrow we are actually going to go out to dinner and a movie. I really wanted to go see Sherlock Holmes and so Jeff is taking me tomorrow night since we both don't have to work. This is like the first real date I have ever been on. YAY!

I am Super excited cause Christmas is just around the corner. As I am writing I am listening to chrismas carols.  I still have soooo much shopping to do. Not that I don't shop for people during the year, but this year I haven't had the money to do so. Jeff and I have decided that we are going to go half and half on gifts cause the girls have decided that this year they would like gift cards so they can go buy pants and stuff they need. This way they get more money to work with.  This is not to say that I think Christmas is about the gifts cause it totally isn't I LOVE Christmas cause it is a time to be around my family and friends. Especially after the past three weeks I could really use the reconnect. I miss them.

Things to come:

More blogging! Different blogging! More Ranting... I'm sure. So regular Blogs every Wednesday. I would like to do a new blogtype thing on other things like crafting maybe on a different day. I am also thinking I mights start writing and posting it here on another connected page. Currently I have realized that I can do several different pages on the same blog making this more of a website than a blog.Yay for homepagieness!


Wishing you all the brightest of holiday wishes. I am off to my last day of work this week.

Stop Right There Christmas!

Now that it's November I have noticed that department stores have almost totally skipped over Thanksgiving. There are fewer fall decorations and many more Christmas ones out. It seems that as winter approaches Christmas doth descend in November and sometimes in October if you are Fred Myers or J C Penny's. I say 'Nay' I want my Thanksgiving back! I want to spend hours with my family and just be thankful that we are all still here, happy and with each other. I want to buy silly little turkey things and things for making pie and take my boyfriend home to meet my parents... A scary thought all on it's own. I want to watch football with my Mom and Dad and fight with my brother over the wish bone. I don't want Christmas to rear it's head until after I pass out in a turkey coma!

This is not to say that I don't like Christmas. I love it. The decorations, the holiday smells that roam the hallways and aisles of stores. I love the trinkets and most of all I love being with my family and friends. I love it when my adopted Mom makes divinity and snow is in the air. Like I have said before I love all the seasons I just want them in their season.

Tailgaters Beware!!!

I will be the first one to say that I hate tailgaters. I personally am not one but some people!  I mean I understand that it is SUPER important that YOU get wherever it is that you are going but really! I'm driving a little over the speed limit already, and you are still riding my ass.  Today I was with my sister and we were coming home and there was a car ahead of us and one behind us. Now the person ahead of us was driving a little over the speed limit and we were a little ways behind her. The woman behind us, though rode our ass all the way to where we turned off. As my sister was driving we were talking about this and she too said that she tries not to ride the bumper of the person in front of her. So we have decided that what the driving community needs is people who pay attention to the damn speed signs! They are there for a reason. The state/city pays a shit load of money for all those large white signs with the big BLACK numbers. At least buy me dinner or pull my hair if you are going to ride my ass.

My Favorite time of the Year!

I probably say this about every season but I love this time of year. The heat of the summer has past and it's getting a little colder, but it's not freezing. The leaves on the trees are starting to change to yellows and oranges, and reds. Pumpkins get carved and thanksgiving is just around the corner. The gardens are ready to be harvested.During this time of fall in particular is the best cause everyone is looking at costumes and the surreal and the haunted. Also as many of you know I have a Wiccan based spirituality so this time of year is also the turning of the wheel a variable Witchy New Year.

Zombies( My personal fave), witches, and ghosties and ghouls are all in high demand. Especially with the weekend being here. It is just a great time of the year and I wanted to tell all my fans and followers and fellow witchy people to have a Happy Halloween!
