I've got the rambles.

Just some random verbal diarrhea to share with you today…..

It was quite the weekend around our neck of the woods. I think I did pretty well on my alcohol consumption. I drank the four or five beers it takes me to get to happy town and then I was done. I even started to drink water, so that I didn't feel like dying in the next morning. Everyone was safe and didn't drink and drive and everyone had a great time.

I can't express the pure joy I get from knowing the holidays are over. Well kinda over, it is birthday season coming up, but still birthdays are less demanding and stressful on my soul. (What's left of my soul anyways. There is still that one part that is currently in possession by Lucifer, but eh I shall get it back someday.) Anyways….I am physically and emotionally exhausted from the holidays. All three were done at our place and that took a lot out of both Chris and I. Granted I love to have my family over and spend time with them, so it is worth it, but I am tired from all the excitement.

Speaking of family, I got the what for last night from daddy. I don't think he took too kindly to the news of his grandson getting his ear pierced. Yes I know that he is young, but he is not the only one his age to have it done. It is not like this is something that is going to screw his whole life up. My son has always been extremely expressive when it comes to his clothing and appearance. Many of you may remember the whole afro period and many of you helped me make it through. sigh So he asked when we were at the Mall yesterday and he genuinely wanted it. I can't say I was thrilled about a hole going into my sons head, but then I figured why not. He is a good kid. He gets straight A's in school and is in the advanced classes. He is in no way, shape, or form negative outside the normal little boy bs. I figured with today's youth becoming more and more expressive with their looks, it is almost inevitable that he will have done something similar by the age of 16 or worse. If he wants to express himself that way, I will not deny him his expressive outlet. But…..my son and I also both decided last night that maybe we should stay away from grandpa for a few weeks. He agreed. lol Apparently grandpa told him he was going to rip it out of his ear and stick it in his eyebrow. I have seen him rip a 3 inch yellow pages in half without breaking a sweat, so yeah we will not be visiting anytime soon. At least not until I can outrun him.

Moving on….I received a second publishing offer from a company in Pennsylvania, but sadly I think I have to turn it down. I explained to them that my manuscript was not finished. They gave me a deadline to finish, but it is just not feasible to me. I am still working with the one in Canada though. I know many of you that know me are like WTF, why didn't I know about this….well now you do. I have been too busy to tell anybody anything. Even Chris doesn't know half the stuff that is going on with this. You should be used to finding things out this way by now.

As for my blogging. Over the last few months I have been very wary about what I was writing and pretty much didn't write too much. The reason was that their were certain people reading that shouldn't have been. I didn't want to feel the reprecussions of it so I just didn't write. Things are taken care of now. My profile can not be accessed by anyone under 18 and I have a seperate profile for family and people I know. So my blogging will be changing back to the way it was. Hopefully.

On another note, god damn I need to loose some weight. Although I am not, I feel like a fat ass. I gained like 8 pounds over the last 3 months. Those few extra pounds make me feel like shit. I told Chris yesterday that I felt like I was waddling. It should only take a few weeks since school starts up at that time. (hopefully I can pull my hand out of my mouth long enough to make it though) Chris has been using every opportunity to make a joke out it by mooing and razzing me, with good intentions of course. He knows that I am technically not fat, that it is all in my head.

I decided it was time to break down and buy a laptop. I need one for grad school so I figured I should just get it out of the way. I have looked before but didn't ever find what I wanted. It was either too much crap or too little. So I decided to go with Dell. I get to make it how I want. Well 4 hours later....it was the way I wanted and I had a headache. Too many decisions. Too many specs. I know quite a bit about computers, but some of the hardware I was not sure of. So pain the ass me, had to look everything up before I made a choice. It should be here in a week. Yeah!

Last but not least the kiddos have softball and baseball signups this weekend. Boooo. That should be fun. Last season it got to the point that I would rather have poked myself in the eye on a daily basis than have to manage mine and their schedules. It was painful. Hopefully this year will be better.

So that is that. I look forward to a new year. Hopefully it is not as effed up as last years. Last year was nothing but a snotrag to trudge through. I would like to take this opportunity to say to all those people that will judge me, criticize me, laugh at me, talk shit about me, and just overall be a pain in my ass……effyou….effyou….and effyou.

Happy Tuesday.
