Ch Ch Ch Changes

So, thankfully Spring has arrived, even though it snowed yesterday a little. Miserable!

I am working towards quitting smoking. It has been over a week since I last had a cigarette. The price increase had a lot to do with the timing, but I think I was getting close to quitting anyway. The dumbass who said the first 3 days were the worst is a fucking liar. My cravings actually seem to be getting worse! I am determined however to make this my last attempt to break the habit.

My opinion on the price hike? It was to be expected. I will say however that since they feel the need to punish smokers, they should also step up and add extra taxes to fast food resturants and EVERYTHING else that could enable a person to become really fat. It's only fair.

My friend Kim is getting close to having her baby. She and Nick have stayed strong in the face of some pretty big challenges with this pregnancy. I admire them for that. That strength must have passed on to their unborn son, because he has turned out to quite the fighter! Keep them in your prayers the next couple of weeks.

As I'm sure most of you already know, Kody has given birth to a dog. I have some mixed emotions about our dear Ti. I do love the little shit, and think that our bond will grow with time. I do still tend to side with the cats, and have offered Kody full rights of the dog in return for full rights over Tripper(seeing how he likes me better anyway, lol.) Kody declined this offer.

I am determined to go to a concert this summer! Cyndi Lauper's tour dates have not been set as of yet, so I will wait for that. Pat Benatar will be in Chicago on August 17th, so that is a possibility. I will research some more.

Seems this recession has been pretty hard on my childhood home. It may be a shithole, but there are a lot of memories there, and it does not deserve this. Here's to the end of what has been.

Happy Tree Friends

My kinda cartoon

January blues

Yeah, I kinda have them a little. It is coming up on the one year anniversary of Tony dying. I would be a liar if I said this was not on my mind. It is also never pleasant to grow another year older and still not be where you want to be. Blah, I don't want to grow up! It does not help that it was almost 70 fucking degrees yesterday, and tonight it snowed. Please feel free to insert your own favorite Missouri weather cliche here. I also have a stomach ache tonight. McDonalds makes my tummy sad.

I think I am going to take advantage of a few open houses tomorrow while Kody is at his photo shoot. Then I think we are going to see a movie with Mike and Mary which should be fun. Sunday I am going to mom's and filing my taxes. Tuesday I am taking her to St. Louis to the airport. I find it violently unfair that she gets to leave while I sit here in this damned ice box!

Please take a moment to check out my new random dislike. You may be slightly disgusted. If you enjoy it, let me know so we can stop being friends.

New era?

I guess only time will tell what will come of Obama's presidency. I have hope. And while I did not hate him, it sure was nice to watch the country shave her Bush off today. I think he is a good man, just a bad president. So lets keep our fingers crossed and look forward to better times ahead.

Made it

I hope you all traversed the holiday spectacle without experiencing to much grief. If I don't see you before then, I would like to wish you all a happy new year. 2009 as to be better, right?


Frida - I Know There's Something Going On

Turkey Day

I hate like hell that I have to work long hours on Thursday and Friday. I am looking forward to Saturday however. Since it received the most votes, I will be bringing green bean casserole to our function. I will also be bringing the double chocolate cake because that is the way I roll. Love you guys and can't wait to see you!

Impulse Buy

Well, not really. I have wanted it for a while now ever since playing with Kim and Nick in Colorado. Still, buying Rock Band Special Edition for the Wii was an impulse buy. Best Buy had it on sale tonight. Could I afford it? Not really. Did that stop me? Hell no! It is only money, and I am calling it my Christmas present to myself. I am uber excited to play, and hopefully in the process get a little better at it.
I hope someone will play with me sometime because it is a shitload of fun to play with a whole band! So watch out Nick, when I come out in May I am gonna rock your face off! Ha ha, probably not.(it should be noted here that Nick is pretty damn good at Rock Band)
