"Suleman's publicist did say that Suleman gets $490 every month in food stamps."  That is a quote from a CNN article about the lady who had octuplets when she already had  six kids all under the age of seven.  She's also asking for donations?!?!  If you have six kids and you don't have the money to take care of them, where did you get the money for fertility treatments?  And why would you want eight more mouths to feed?  From what I can tell it's because she wasn't loved enough as a child, but that's not stopping her from still living with her parents.

me and mom
We put the Christmas tree up this weekend!  Christmas for me is like Halloween for Rachele, Connie and M.E.  I've never had a tree so big and it's downstairs with the kitty that is less likely to rip it to bits.  I'm so excited!  As soon as I remember I'll take pictures and put them up here.  We went to the Tazewell Christmas parade on Sat.  I haven't been to a parade in years and I might have knocked a few kids over for the good candy.  However they had "Easter Jesus" in the Christmas parade.  Not like Jesus in a robe and resurrected, Jesus on the cross.  They actually had "Christmas Jesus" and "Easter Jesus" on the same float.  Maybe it's just me, but I like to separate my Jesus' by  Valentine's Day at least.  It was a good day overall and Patrick's family cooked dinner for us and we all watched a movie.  The holidays are kinda hard without my mom, but I do okay.  I think Thanksgiving will be good, we are going over to my cousin's house and his girlfriend (of like 8 years) is having her family over too.  I don't think we've all had a holiday together.  It should be fun and perhaps we'll all be on our best behavior.  Our holidays normally ends in tears or alcohol or sometimes both.  Also, Meredith (my cousin's girlfriend) is a vegetarian and my aunt declared she would not have tofurkey (no one actually suggested it, she just assumed).  I'm also excited because I have Jess (my other cousin's) presents bought so that I can just take them to Thanksgiving (she's not coming down for Christmas) and I can be cheap and not have to mail them!

Teen Pregnancy (warning stong language)

  • Sep. 2nd, 2008 at 10:03 AM

Okay, let me for just on second get on my high horse and bitch.  I have read comments all morning about how Bristol Palin is pregnant and how great it is that she is taking responsibility.  And how her parents are so proud of her and so proud to become grandparents.  You know what she made a huge mistake that is going to ruin her life and they are proud of her?  Really?  I managed not to get knocked-up when I was in high school and nobody gave a shit about that, but she gets commended for fucking her boyfriend whom she now is marrying at the ripe old age of seventeen.  Of the girls that went from elementary school through high school with me 1 in 3 was NOT pregnant (and those were just the ones that kept the babies).  I have no problem with abortion and I'm not saying people can't make mistakes (believe me I've made plenty). But, if I came home in high school and said I was pregnant my mom would have hit me over the back of the head with a shovel and buried me in the back yard.  Proud would not have come into play.  So I just want to say to everyone that has not been a teenage parent, congratualations and I'm proud of you!  Okay I feel better now.

Wow

My First Cake

Harrison's (my cousin's baby who was born the day my mom died a year later) first birthday was this weekend so Aunt Susie and I drove up to Virginia Beach on Thursday.  He is really big now and so cute.  Jess and some of her co-workers and I went to see the Southern Gentlemen (which is a male revue that they have every week).  It was pretty good, some of them sucked and some of them were very talented.  Then at the end they did this whole routine with a watermelon that I'm not even sure how to describe.  Then the next day we went to Toys-R-Us and his Nana(who FINALLY gave up on the Grandmama thing) and Gary(Papaw) bought the store out.  Some of the stuff they bought wasn't even remotely age appropriate, but no body listens to me.  Harrison had a Mickey Mouse party the next day.  For some reason Mickey makes this kid crazy happy, he just giggles.  Susan  has taken to calling him Choo-choo bear.  If I heard it once, I heard every two seconds for the entire trip...my choo-choo bear, my choocher, my little choo-choo bear.  I wanted to shoot myself.  She is obsessed.  I am not kidding.  She kept talking about how she didn't NEED him, but he NEEDED her.  It was crazy, we got back to Jess' on Friday and Gary had beat us over there and she said "I oughta kick that motorcycle over for him getting to spend time alone with my boy".  This woman needs help.  Luckily I spent most of my time hanging out with Jess and trying to help her set up the party while Susan spent time with "my choo-choo bear male revue".  But not to fear we had plenty of beer and wine at the birthday party.  It was really good to get to see her and Harrison and Christopher, but I have had my quota of Susan for a while.  Christopher graduates in December as an Electrical Engineer and Jess gets out of the Navy in February so they are planning to move down here then.  Somewhere between here and Chattanooga, so that's exciting.  Here's me with him (sorry I don't know how to do cuts or sizing:

I.  Met.  Michael Biehn.


I try really hard to be honest with everyone and I want people to be honest with me.  The reason I mention this is I need to be really honest with someone and I don't know how well she handles honesty.  She hurt someone that I love and I need for her to understand that.  I hate confrontation and I know that she will probably take this as some sort of attack.  I just want her for once to take responsibility for something and maybe even say she's sorry (not to me, but to the person she hurt).  I don't know what to do, I want so badly to be honest, but confrontation makes me sick to my stomach.  What if she doesn't even care?  Sorry, I'm neurotic!


 I had this really weird dream last night that I thought I would share.  Patrick and I were living with Casey (my friend) and her brother Jordan (who is also a friend) at my aunt's old house.  It had old seventies furniture (patchworky type couch and ottoman) and two really flowery bar type counters and our furniture from now, too.  So we decide to have a yard sale.  We also have this robot that looks like a teenage girl who we didn't need at the moment, but I thought that leaving her in a car seemed mean.  My cat keeps attacking the robot and the robot keeps hitting the cat with a golf club so I'm trying to break that up with a bowling pin.  Then this little old couple is waiting when we open the garage and start looking before we set up.  The little old lady want two things, one costs 50 cents and one costs 60 cents so I told her I'd just take a dollar and she got mad and said she had already counted out the change.  And, her husband tried to steal money out of our box.  Then Tom Waits showed up and said he had heard that we had a lot of his stuff we were selling.  I said that we had cds and books, but not his furniture or anything (which is weird cause I don't have any of his cds).

 A) tell you why I friended you,
B) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.,
C) tell you something I like about you,
D) tell you a memory I have of you,
E) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,
F) tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
G) In return, you must post this in your LJ. (If you don't, gremlins will find you and eat your legs)

 Stranger Danger.  Seriously people, stop getting in vehicles with people you don't know.  I don't care if they have puppies.  Three ADULTS this week have told me stories of going off with people they didn't know.  Two of them were in foreign countries.  Jesus Tap Dancing Christ people, how are you still alive?

 Hi, this Lisa.  I've stopped accepting problems for the week.  No really.  I'm very sorry that your mom is in the hospital, your car broke down, you wife is leaving you, your husband is a lazabout, your drunk all the time and it's raining outside.  Please call back on Monday and I will be more than happy to give you support and sympathy, but for the rest of this week I'm out.  Thanks for calling...bu-bye.

Writer's Block: My First Car

  • May. 6th, 2008 at 3:18 PM

What was your first car?


View 501 Answers

 My first car was a blue 1988 Toyota Corolla FX hatchback.  My parents bought it from a friend of my mom's for my 17th birthday.  I had it for seven years and then the axle broke and I had a decent job so I just sold that one and went and got another car.  I cried when they towed it away.

So I was sick all of yesterday and most of today.  I woke up and headed to work anyway and my tire was flat.  I can home early cause I felt like I might throw up on my desk, so I called AAA to put my spare on (cause I know NOTHING about cars).  Well the guy starts by calling and saying he's outside my house...he wasn't so I called and as I was talking to the guy he pulled up.  He got out and tried to take the tire off, but apparently it was on too tight so he starts telling me how unsafe that is and that I just don't understand how unsafe that is (like I put it on).  Well, he can't get the tire off so he just has to put air in it.  So off to Wal-mart before it goes flat again.  While we're there I have them do an oil change.  So two hours later we pay and start to leave until Patrick reads the itemized receipt  that says "flat tire: declined" so we ask why and the check-out lady has no idea and the next doesn't know why.  Finally, they find the guy who decline us and apparently there was another ford explorer that was declined and they got confused.  They were very sorry and took it right back and got the screw out.  And they didn't charge us.  So I feel better and Mawy sent me an awsome online card to make me feel better that Casey left.  All together not a horrible day, just kinda blah.

 So we (me, Patrick, Casey's brother and her ex) were going to plan a super secret going away get together.  Casey and I have our girls night every Tuesday, but to get her to the party I was going to reschedule to Friday.  I told her Patrick had made other plans, which her ex said was fine cause she had back-up plans.  I didn't expect her to believe me but she did and she was mad at Patrick for ruining our last girls night.  She kept calling back all day asking couldn't we do on Mon. or Thurs. and I hate lying and I just kept having to tell her I had plans (yeah right).  So apparently it really upset her that I was blowing her off, she cried all day and I cried cause I hated lying to her (and cause I was sad she was going away).  And Chris (her ex) decided he couldn't take our emotionalness anymore and told her.  Which was good cause I was going to tell her and make her promise to act suprised.  So that was my Monday.  Tuesday so far has been a marked improvement.  Also I went to the Rossini Festival on Saturday and let me tell you that cheesecake on a stick dipped in chocolate is the best thing ever.
