As always around this time of year, there has been a lot of discussion lately of what is "politically correct" regarding holiday traditions in public.

Specifically, here at work there has been the ordeal about the Christmas holiday tree. This is a state agency, funding in large part by taxpayer dollars. So. Should we, or should we not, be allowed ( Read more... )

Remember how excited I was in this post, because I was ahead on my rent?

Well, my landlord decided to put a five day eviction notice on my door today, FOR NOT PAYING MY RENT. Idiots. I had to bring in proof from the bank of all payments for the past year (2 a month--rent and parking) just to get it all straightened out.

Really, really frustrating. ( Read more... )

Spending the weekend with Kyle and his family for K's birthday. His brother turned on Sesame Street for MacKenzie, who is 11 months old today. Half an hour later, Cory (26) is singing a long, their dad is answering the questions out loud, every adult in the room is watching and bopping along... and MacKenzie is facing the oposite direction ( Read more... )

Just paid October AND November rent.  That leaves me with pretty much nothing until I get paid again next week, but unless something unexpected comes up, it should be fine. Plus, it feels SO good to actually be ahead for a change. I plan on setting aside most of my next paycheck for December, and paying that before Halloween. That should be enough ( Read more... )

On my way to the wedding now. Still not sure how I feel...

So I end up spending MORE money to go ( Read more... )

Wow. Her name is Mary Bale, and if she didn't think her actions through at the time, she's sure regretting it now. Just search, "Lola the Cat," or "Mary Bale," on facebook to see why. People have posted her name, number, home address, work address, work number, mother's name and address, and all kinds of other information. There is a "Mary Bale ( Read more... )

This video makes me SO MAD. She actually stopped to pet the poor cat--who BELONGED to someone, by the way--before doing what she did. What the hell?

15 hours in the heat, lying in her own waste, is a long fucking time. Watching this, I couldn't help thinking about my two cats, and how absolutely devestated I would be if anything happened to them.   ( Read more... )

(...great for solving problems, after it creates a problem.)

I guess I will rant on here, because apparently it's safer.  Some of you saw my facebook status the other day that said:
