I love Holidays!!

Well, Happy 4th in a few days.  I was a smart one and took tomorrow off, so I am beginning a beautiful 3-day weekend!! 

The Charlie Daniels band is coming to Oklahoma in a few weeks, and I'm super-pumped to sing along to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."  It's gonna be awesome watching him play that fiddle like his life depended on it. 

Enjoy your week!!

Curious...

I'm curious as to the added "footprints" section on my page.  What does it mean when a state like California visits me?  Is it someone who has my page but is not a xanga member?  Will someone wiser please explain this to me?

I'm watching "The Notebook" as I type.....it makes me smile.  I want to meet a man like Ryan Gosling's Noah.  I wouldn't mind if he looked like Ryan Gosling or Joaquin Phoenix.  I'm not picky.

Life has been good.  My thumb is feeling better.  It is still swollen, and it looks like I painted my thumbnail blackish/blue all by its lonesome.  I've been doing Weight Watchers with my mother, and I've lost 8.8 pounds in the past 4 weeks.  Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

What is everyone's opinion of the new Superman movie?  Do we think it's going to be good?  Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor (Luther?)?  I just don't know if I can see anyone but Gene Hackman playing that role.  "Otisburg?"  Ahhh..classic. 

Hope everyone's having a great week!!

So are you married?

Have you ever noticed that life is just a series of questions?  It partially begins in junior high:

So you playing any sports?

This generally applies to the guys.  Girls usually get asked about clubs, activities, etc.  This could continue on to high school once you attain your interests.

What colleges are you applying to?

This starts around Christmas of your senior year.  For the unlucky ones, this begins the end of your junior year because your parents force you to take the ACT test 4 times until you get the scholarship-assured score.  This question is closely followed by...

What college are going to and what is your major?

Why do people feel that before you even get to college you know what you want to do for the rest of your life?  This kind of pressure creates those who change their major 3 times and take over 4 years to graduate. (no offense to those who took longer than 4 years...I'm just making a point)

Are you married (yet)?  The yet comes in when people are really rude.

This is the question phase that I am currently enjoying.  It starts before you graduate college and lasts until you actually get married.  It's a fun stage because you get to see people's reactions when you say no.  The facial expressions range from confusion to pity to horror.  "How can you not be married yet?"  Well, I'm not really sure.  I guess I haven't quite forced that guy down the aisle.  He's a fighter.  Wait...I don't have a guy to fight.  Oh yeah.  This creates another look of horror when they realize I'm not currently dating anyone.  I guess I should be complimented that people are amazed I haven't been "snatched" up yet.   But it still creates an awkward moment.  Just look for the ring.  If it's there, ask.  If it's not, don't.

When are you going to have a baby?

I don't look forward to this phase of questions.  People give you maybe a year grace period after you get married before starting in with this question.  I think this one is even ruder than the previous one because you really have no choice in the matter.  You can try to have kids as much as you want, but what if it never happens?  Do you think those people enjoy being questioned about why they aren't having a baby when all they want in the entire world is to have one?  Take some advice.  Don't ask anything until you've heard from someone else that she is expecting. 

The questions eventually recycle to be focused on your children.  And the fun begins all over again.

Two...make that One Thumb Up

It began as any regular Friday.  Wake up thankful that the weekend is near.  Get ready for work and open the bank for the day....and then it all went wrong.

After all the tellers had gotten their drawers out of the vault, I stopped paying attention and allowed the vault door to shut on my thumb.  Yes ladies and gentlemen, I'm a big, dumb animal. (Name that movie?)

Damage isn't that bad.  There's a crack across most of my thumbnail and an exit wound where "stuff" was forced to come out.

Fun Times for a Friday.  Now I feel like a crab or something because I can only pick stuff up with my fore and middle finger as if I'm pinching.  It's dead sexy.

Everybody Hurts

Has life ever just seemed to suck?  I can't even explain why.  Nothing is going wrong, work is good, life is good.  I've been a bit under the weather, but I don't think that's it.  I think I'm just in a funk that I seriously need to get out of.  Any suggestions?

"Question:  Why are we Masters of our Fate, the captains of our souls?  Because we have the power to control our thoughts, our attitudes.  That is why many people live in the withering negative world.  That is why many people live in the Positive Faith world.  And you don't have to be a poet or a philosopher to know which is best."

Alfred A. Montapert
