Bucket O’ Bulletz

It’s a shame that I won’t have my camera till later this week *I hope* because tonight would have been a fantastic night to try it out. My parents, sister, and her boyfriend all came over for the belated T-day feast. We had a great time. My son was being himself, like always, and making everyone laugh. My niece was here for the first time. She seemed to be comfortable just relaxing in the living room. We had cake, sweet potato pie, turkey, mashed potatoes, greens, cabbage, corn, cookies, and gravy. Everything turned out so well. I am really happy that they got a chance to come over and spend a few hours with me. They left around 9:30pm.

I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!

I was talking to my mom about the great deals I found on Black Friday, and remarking about the people who still don’t have presents after that excursion. I was thinking about getting my dad some pajama pants or the ever popular standby of assorted silk ties.That’s when she clued me in to what my dad REALLY wanted for Christmas: The Obama Coin. Apparently, Franklin Mint is the only one who has the coin AND the stamps, so I got that for him. I hope he is happy when he gets it. I think I ordered it in plenty of time to get it for Christmas.

Teehee the joys of living in a small town include that the longest line you are in is about 25 people long and the longest wait you have is for the store to actually open.

We were able to get ourselves a slew of things, as well as most of our Christmas purchases. God blessed us to be able to give within our means. I FINALLY got Garden State on official DVD, as well as some Madea/Tyler Perry joints. We were able to FINALLY get the little table set we wanted for when people come over. I couldn’t be happier. I won’t itemize EVERYTHING we got, since there are so many presents for other people. Just know we made out really well, saved a heap of dough, and we are extremely tired happy now.

I was sitting at my mother’s house and my sister’s baby daddy says “oh look you got your little kangaroo pouch out today” as if it were something cute. I was like WHAT? I’M NOT FAT NOR DO I HAVE A POUCH!!! It’s a good thing I am not that impressionable or offended, since when I stand up my “pouch” goes away…but if it had been someone else they may have downed a whole bottle of Fentraphen that instant. I used to be paranoid about being fat, but since I got comfortable in my skin moreso than ever, it isn’t having a long term negative effect on my self esteem. Go me.

Well, my brain has been in a time warp. I didn’t realize that I had not posted here since Friday afternoon. It’s this seasonal affective bull that I am dealing with. Every day runs into the next like there is no end. I really honestly forgot that it was Saturday then yesterday was so busy that I didn’t even check my email till a few minutes ago. I think I need some digital signage on my desk to remind me to at least put up a few sentences every day about life and what’s going on in it.

I had a therapy appointment this morning which went very well. I feel better already. My little sister is 8 weeks pregnant and my choir director is having twins. There are more people around me having babies than I would like to admit. I am scared to death to be next. I DON’T WANT IT!!! I want to adopt or get a surrogate mother. I am not against having another child just as long as I don’t have to birth it myself. I keep praying that God will hear me and understand about this. I also wish that people would stop wishing babies on me.

It’s not right.
It’s not cute.
It’s not fair.

I already was fruitful and multiplied. I did my job. LEAVE ME ALONE >___< !!!

Here are the winners of the Pillsbury gift basket contest. I will be contacting you between tonight and tomorrow night for your information!

Congratulations.

Many people will gasp when they read that I am on any sort of diet. It isn’t the kind of diet in which you need special foods, diet pills, or an exercise plan to succeed. This is an iDiet… meaning that I am doing my best not to go spend all my time on the internet. I am trying to find more ways to spend quality time with my son and husband…as well as with myself. Yesterday I didn’t get online at all. Today, I have to catch up with work and things but yesterday was a great day to be offline. I am hoping to do it again this coming Monday, at least for the most part if not all day. We are planning a trip to Chuck E. Cheese as a surprise for our son doing so well in pretty much everything.
