Are you sure??

Someone tells me that monkeys are always funny. What do YOU think?

Inappropriate

It's been awhile since I've posted. Mostly because I have no idea what to write about in my day-to-day, hum-drum life. But I guess that's what it's all about. Right? Right? Anyone?

One thing that's been bugging me lately is the fact that sexual abuse is such an epidemic. I know SO MANY women, and too many little girls, that have been affected by sexual abuse. And, it's rampant, even- still -today. Will it ever stop? And, is there a fine line between teenage/ adolescent curiosity and actual sexual abuse? Where are the lines drawn? Obviously, when it's adults, they KNOW it's wrong. But I suppose it could be possible for an adolescent/teenager to "possibly" not know any better. Do they talk to kids about this in school these days, or is it up to the parents? And, if it's up to the parents, WHY, oh why, aren't they talking to their kids about how this is INAPPROPRIATE behavior? It's terrible and awful....and other icky words.

Bleh.

Just For Today...

Fear and loathing, plan, path, freedom. Ahhhh....

Matters of the Pocketbook

I'm working on cleaning up my financial act. And, boy is it a mess, at this point. However, I'm hopeful (finally), and I can see at least a dim light at the end of the tunnel. Not to mention feeling empowered and more in control of the situation. Goals are great, and having and working a plan is even better!

It's Random Day

I wanted it to be Random Day today, but SOME PEOPLE weren't willing to play. "It's too hard," he whined. That's okay, though. He still used the idea later. Which is okay by me.

See?

This stuff is so funny!

Enjoy-ness...

To my friend, Brian...the only "commenter" on my blog at this point. You want examples?? Oh, I'll show you examples.

Try here and here. There's many more...but I'm out of time.

Wheeeee....this is so fun.

Bitter=sweet? NOT!

Being single for awhile now, I've tried several different dating websites to meet people. I'm a single mother (of a beautiful, smart 5-year old), and it's hard to meet people these days. I don't do a lot of activities, other than with the afore-mentioned daughter, and with people from church. Unfortunately, there are no single men attending my church that are within my age range.

But back to the dating websites. I just had to comment on the men-for-women postings on Craigslist.com. Some are HI-larious. Some are just funny. Some are plain ol' mean. I've seen all sorts, believe me. However, it's even better when the rant-y females (and males, sometimes) respond to these posts, as if that's going to do any good. There are some bitter, bitter people here. But then, that's usually the funniest part.

Enjoy!

Jusy sayin' - Part II

Duh.

Just sayin'.

Weakness, desperate, vulnerable, negative.

Heavy

Today is a heavy day. I've got a lot on my mind. Two people that I care about have been affected by death, or just as near death as you can get, experiences; a couple of my close friends/co-workers were just told they will be laid off in 6 months; I'm slightly worried about my own job; and I have an extended family situation that worries me. So, although my life, in and of itself, is going fine (other than being lonely as hell, but that's a whole 'nother story)...people around me are hurting. And, I hurt for them. Me sad.

Happenstance

So I bought bunk beds off of craigslist a few weeks ago. I got everything but the rail for the top bunk when I picked up the bed, originally. Today I went to claim the final piece.

I was trying to find the Oregon State Trooper's house for the third time, from memory, after of couple weeks not having been there. Why did I got to the WRONG HOUSE and actually knock on the door??? Thank GAWD no one was home at the WRONG HOUSE. Phew. It was such a close call to sheer, utter embarrassment.

Today is the Day

So, my friends have suggested I start a blog. I have it on my list of 43 Things to do. I decided that today was, indeed, the day. Here it is. My very first blog entry. Now what the hell do I do? More to come...duh.
