Disappointment instead of hope…..
Well, one would think that I would be happy waking up to find that there is a democrat in the white house but I’m not. I guess I’m just worried about what kind of state this country is in and I’m not sure that it’s going to get any better. Of course Obama is all about hope and change but like I said I just don’t believe it. Maybe I’m jaded, who knows but I just don’t see it. I have a pit in the bottom of my stomach. The same feeling I got when I heard that Bush had won the presidency. Not good my friends. I thought I would be happy but hey, I go with my gut.
So my friend and husband got into text wars last night. He had to drop it because it was getting really heated. DH husband HATES Obama. He was a Ron Paul guy and he really just dislikes Obama. Our friend basically said he should support Obama because he is colored. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???????????? I guess I should support McCain because I’m white? I’m sorry but the race thing is old with me. Seriously. It’s freaking 2008 and time for people to fucking get over it. OVER IT! This is why I hate talking politics and religion.
What disappoints me the most is just now people are coming out to vote. I’ve been voting since I turned 18 and I have never seen numbers like this in my life of people voting. All I have to say is if people would have gotten out and actually voted before we wouldn’t be in this mess. People said that the election was rigged during the last two elections but I really don’t believe that anymore. Know why? BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN”T GET OUT AND VOTE. How can we say an election was rigged when the majority of people didn’t’ vote? Do you know how long it took last presidential election for me to vote? 10 minutes. People claimed that they wanted a change but did they do anything? No, as a country we have to wait until things are crap to make things happen.
So enough about that. I’m going to finish up rescrapping my 1997 album. I have Christmas and New Year’s and I’m done. I’m loving the We r Memory, D ring albums. My other albums are falling apart so I decided to redo them. It also gives me a chance to get rid of pictures of exes. Bonus!:) I’m almost done with Season Two of Grey’s Anatomy. I am really hooked on this show. I’m a tad bit behind on my TV shows as you can tell!!! I need to get the fourth season because I’m getting ready to start season three.
Tuesday Ramblings
- I’m going to the hairdresser today. Something I haven’t done since Feb.!!!!!!!!!! I really can’t afford it right now but my hair is looking like crap. I always feel better when I have my hair done.
- 17 days till Trinidad!!!
- I was a very lazy bum yesterday. So today I will have to clean. BLAH. I also have laundry to do which I don’t want to do.:(
- My plan of spending the day scrapbooking was ruined. So maybe if I have some free time today I can get some pages done.
- My mom is stuck in Limbo with her job. She had some major drama and now she isn’t sure if she’s going to California or Florida. And she needs to be out of her apartment this morning!! I’m really not liking her travel company right now. They have really treated her like crap for the last year. She has been with them for 4 years and they were wonderful but now, not so good. Talked to a traveler in orientation that had the same recruiter as my mom and didn’t have nice things to say about her. Needless to say she is with another company and much happier.
- Having problems picking a wedding date. I’m about to say screw it and call the whole thing off.
- I have lots of people I need to call or at least email. Kinda been ignoring people for the last couple of weeks. I need to sit down today and make a list of things that I need to do. One of them is return phone calls!!!
- I’ve been in a crappy mood lately and I don’t know why. I need to get my thyroid levels rechecked but don’t have the insurance right now. I might have to go to a walk in to get a refill and then wait it out. BLAH! I wished I still had my thyroid. It really is such a pain in the ass not having it. I know it could be worse but it sucks.
- I work tomorrow and Thursday and then I’m off Fri, Sat, and Sun.! Woo-hoo three day weekend! I’m thinking of asking for just another week with my preceptor. Just because they are counting my first week as my four weeks but I really think I need one more week on the floor. I’m sure they will let me. They said to let them know if I thought I needed another week, I’m going to talk to them tomorrow.
The blues on a Tuesday afternoon
I’ve been feeling down in the dumps lately. I was feeling better yesterday and wham my DH has to go and say something that totally hurts my feelings and just doesn’t get it. I’m currently giving him the semi-silent treatment right now. Yes, I know it’s childish but I tried talking to him but he thinks that handsome and cute are get out of free cards. Not this time. I told him until he apologizes and tries to understand where I am coming from I’m not talking to him.
I couldn’t sleep last night. I didn’t fall asleep until around 4am. So my morning/afternoon not the best. I’m going to try and tackle the computer room and hopefully I can get most of it done today. I really don’t have that much left to do.
I have some growth in one of my pots!!! I have little spurts of onions growing!!! Very excited about that!
My kitty has taking a liking to being on the patio. He wants to sit in the corner and just chill. I let them out in the mornings but getting him back in is not always fun. He was meowing at the door and trying his darnedest to get it open. I’m glad he finally gave up. Unfortunately he thinks my scrapping table is a nice place to lay now. But I forgive him since he has become quite the bug extroidinairre and caught two flies that were around here.
I went the scrap stores this weekend and did some damage. I really hadn’t bought any scrapbooking supplies in a long time and I also bought an album. That’s another reason I want to get this room done. I want to make some pages!!
