I'm now 7 1/2 months pregnant. I continue to go to work 5 days a week to a job that I no longer love because I recognize that my world perspective has changed and the job, inherently, has not. It's not the job's fault and I can't afford to change jobs at the moment, so I make due until I'm due. The people at work are startled by my new ( Read more... ) -

I'm in one of those moods where I'm annoyed by a good 50% of the people I have to interact with because they are somehow related to me. Case in point: future step-daughter in law... I really can't stand her. She's made it clear she really can't stand me. She uses Facebook to post snide, subtle, passive aggressive digs at me. Me being me, I ( Read more... ) -
Greetings from the Great Beyond (also known as Texas)
First off, my apologies for being so absent over recent months. Many, many, changes in the Land o' Luck ( Read more... ) -
Just A Kiss Goodnight (Lady Antebellum)
Reconciling the conflicts inside is always difficult. Your heart wants hope, while your head wants to find every single possible thing wrong and analyze it. That's why, whether its a job or a person or a major purchase, I have spent the last 5 years attempting to ignore both of them. Instead, I go with my gut. The problem is, sometimes what my ( Read more... ) -
Say Good-bye (Norah Jones)
You don't have to tell the truth, but if you do, I'll tell it too.
Told you I was digging this album.
When I lived in Austin, I had a goal to run Towne Lake. It was a huge mecca for runners and I could barely make the first mile marker. On Monday, I was late to my appointment with my boxing coach, so he locked me out. I had to go run laps instead ( Read more... ) -
Little By Little (Oasis)
True perfection has to be imperfect.
In life, things rarely happen overnight. Most of the time, progress (or degradation) is made piece by piece... It just seems like it happens overnight when we become aware of what's happening.
Yesterday was slow, so we watched "The Shawshank Redemption" on A&E. I have always loved that movie because it's about a ( Read more... ) -
Always Where I Need To Be (The Kooks)
Someone on YouTube said, "The Kooks make the world so much better." I tend to agree. They are increasingly becoming one of my favorite bands of all time. I rarely hear a song from them that doesn't get stuck in my head or make me feel better on a bad day. (Lead singer needs his teeth fixed, though. Proof that you don't have to be attractive to ( Read more... ) -
Crossfire (Brandon Flowers)
Sometimes, I don't have a whole lot to say. I just want to share good music videos.
First of all, how could anyone *not* love a video with a girl who kicks serious ass against ninjas in order to save her boyfriend? Never mind the fact that you have to question why Charlize Theron would continue to date/rescue this guy, who obviously has pissed off ( Read more... ) -
Alive (Pearl Jam)
I shot the bad guy and walked away with a scratch on my arm. This was far better than the 12 other people who remain in my Academy class. Some of them have point blank wounds from grappling with a man-ape. I didn't have to grapple. In every scenario, the bad guy did exactly what I told him to do ( Read more... ) -

Sometimes it's extremely difficult to be a rational adult when you're dealing with a child. And I'm not even talking about a real child. I'm talking about a grown up who behaves like one.
