Erin Pospisil

For my best friend Carolyn, who doesn't sleep at night, like the rest of us. She's always missing Erin....

A video made by her little sister Amber....Erin - can't wait to meet you - come home.

HEY YOU!!!!

PHANTOM CALLER!!!!

Whoever called me tonight, and promised an 'email' and "call me back if you want to". Um....I haven't gotten an email on ANY of my accounts, and your call was 'Out of Area" and *69 didn't work.

SO - if you REALLY want to contact me.....call again. Or use the RIGHT email.

Carry on and be safe...

Random thoughts...

1. I wonder why I never really got into the X-files when it came out? I'm starting at season one and watching through (I've done that with many shows) and I'm liking it. Of course....the hair and clothes are GREAT.

2. Going to see my best friends next month! I miss them!!

3. While I enjoy the look of my lip piercing, I can't quit chewing on it, despite getting the smallest hoop or using a post. I may take it out tomorrow, for just the day.

4. I have two zits on the inside edge of my nose. Most painful thing ever.

5. Joined a weight-loss challenge today at the college. Four of us - starts March 1. Guess I'm going to have to break out the Wii fit again! :/

6. My daughter got BEAUTIFUL roses for Valentine's day. I'm a little jealous - but then i remember - they die. Waste of money.

7. I have three cats - and I'm allergic. I need to get rid of two of them - the third one I love too much.

8. I got new shoes this weekend - two pairs, actually. I'm not a 'shoe person', but I have to admit....I like how I feel in new shoes.

9. I don't understand why people are obsessed with watching the Olympics. Maybe that's b/c I've never been a 'sports person', but I don't get it.

10. There wasn't a new episode of Criminal Minds tonight, and I felt completely lost without it. :/

I guess that's it....the other stuff on my mind, I'm not blogging about. My MOM reads this!!! LOL Carry on and be safe!

2. My mom sold her house...closing is Friday. (actually, I'm not really sure how this makes me feel - it's been ours for 31 years) BUT - my mom is happy, and that makes ME happy.

3. I'm eating chocolate chip cookie dough. Yummmy....mmmm....

4. My bills are all paid. FINALLY - I'm caught up, and that makes me happy.

10 things (or more) that really TICK ME OFF.

1. People who think that 'being nice to your face' and 'backstabbing you when you turn around' is what makes a Christian.

2. People who bring up random 'carp' in class that has NOTHING to do with the subject at hand. Really? Tanning = racism?? Mail-order-brides = ??? um....yeah - I can't even IMAGINE where that came from in the discussion we were having.

3. People who don't text back.

4. My kids not picking up their JUNK and putting it away. They didn't used to be pigs.....not sure how it got this bad.

5. People who think that everyone in the world is reading topix, and they care about what it says about you. QUIT bringing it up in every class - this is just showing everyone that you are an attention whore.

6. Falling asleep and missing the visit with my friend that I was looking forward to. My fault....but it still ticks me off.

7. Being the 'bad cop' at home. COME ON - I made a decision - please help me enforce it. If you don't agree, let's talk after they are in bed, and compromise about it then - not in front of them. I'm tired of being the wicked witch.

8. My iphone screen is still foggy. I don't wanna pay to fix it. It was like this when I got it....and I'm tired of dealing with them.

9. I"m really, REALLY ticked off that all my friends moved away. :( more SAD than ticked....but seriously - what's the deal? I know, I know....it was all for the RIGHT reasons, but I don't have to like it.

10. Being in pain. Always, always....in pain.

Alright - my blood is boiling.....later I'll post 10 things that make me HAPPY. Carry on and be safe!

The week in review...

...late again. LOL - Most of my classes were cancelled last week, so I didn't have much to write about; however, I do now! :)

Soooo.....Monday and Tuesday classes were cancelled. Wednesday I had 'workforce issues' and we went to class (this is with the 'first-time-teacher') and went over our chapter. She gave us our questions at the beginning of class, and then informed us that there were a couple questions that had two different answers (I found them, and wrote the page numbers last week) and that the key she was going by was wrong. SO - she doesn't think these questions will really help us, but is going to let us do them anyway. *puzzled look* THEN - we watched "Liar Liar" with Jim Carey. Well, THEY watched it - I went home. This chapter was dealing with ethics in the workplace, so I get the connection - but....nah, would rather be at home.

Thursday was "Positive Psychology". *sigh* We had two great presentations - they set the bar HIGH for those of us who follow.....I hope I do as well! Part of this chapter was concerned with relationships, and how other people affect our moods, and our health. Our 'reaction paper' (where we write at the end of the class) was about that - "Do you agree or disagree that relationships with people affect our health - why or why not - use personal examples from your own life". Whew....wrong topic for me - especially given who the teacher is. Now remember me mentioning that this professor's daughter is the one who fired me from my last job? WELL - He is also a Deacon from that church. And if you have read my blog for very long, you know how that job affected my health, and my life. I wrote a VERY honest response - and I'm curious now as to how he is going to treat me next week. :/ I'm positive that the people who attend that church don't even think about how I was completely 'shunned' when I lost my job - except those who are doing it on purpose. I just hope it was an eye-opener. I'm not the first employee who has been treated this way, and I'm sure I won't be the last. And I'm DEFINITELY not the first church member treated this way. The saddest part is that I just have no need for church anymore. None. I love God, and I want to follow his word, and live a good life - but I don't ever see me being part of a congregation ever again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....shame on ME.

So - Valentine's Day was this last weekend. Yeah...we haven't celebrated V-day since we met in 1995...well, we met December 23, 1994...and I had Nanny make a "Death by Chocolate" cake for us for V-day. Of course, I used that as an excuse to get Nanny's cake!!! I didn't give two hoots about the holiday! SO - for V-day this year - I ordered NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK'S new DVD set for myself....Kent got...um....yeah - nothing. We took the kids to Barnes & Noble, and they each got to pick out several books. The fact that my kids choose BOOKS over anything else for a present - makes me PROUD. And they are GOOD books! I usually get my mom carnations - but didn't find any this year - so I got her a snickers bar. Which, really, is WAY better than flowers!!! RIGHT??

I've been doing a lot of research about fibromyalgia lately - this is what I'm sure I have. The doc thinks maybe so (she put me on all the meds for it) and I've decided I'm going to educate my readers about it. No one really 'gets it' unless they know someone with it. My pain is usually in my lower back and hips...I think it stems from wrecking the van when I was preggo with Rogan, and then I fell down the stairs three times in the next year, crackin' my butt bone. That coupled with the enormous stress I was under working for Mr. 'I'mbetterthanyou'. Some days my neck and shoulders just HURT. And the top of my check into my neck. Occasionally my knees hurt - but my arms....oh man, my arms are KILLING me today. It hurts to lift them. And it's a pain you can't really describe. It's just THERE. I'm posting a link to the mayoclinic....read all about it. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fibromyalgia/DS00079

Alright....Gonna try to get some energy together to vacuum. I'm thinking I can't, so I'll end up playing on farmville, and eventually finishing my homework that is due tonight. Stay safe and carry on!

People are Crazy.

So I've been trying to come up with a 'topic' to blog about....not many things happening this week that is fun, or entertaining...EXCEPT - every morning this week I've awoken (awakened?) to my eyes swollen, rash on my face, sneezing, etc. Finally went to the doc this morning, as my eyebrow piercing had embedded in the swelling, and we had to dig it out - it's now infected. Thanks Mr. Allergy man. :/ SO - a healthy dose of steroids, benedryl, and antibiotics - and I'm feeling much better.

Then, as I sit and worry about paying for the doctor (I knew I had to be SEEN - they won't just give you meds!) I posted on facebook. What do I get? Smart @ss comments. Or, commenT. Seriously - if I didn't want to see when or how often someone posted, I'd remove them from my feed. Why do YOU care when, or for how long I'm online? For the record - my computer is in the dining room - which is smack-dab (yes, I think that's a real word) in the middle of my house. Centrally located to keep tabs on my kids while THEY are online - they each have an hour of 'play time' and I'm a hyper-vigilant monitor of internet use. My homepage is Facebook. If I see someone has responded to a post, and I'm not busy - I'll stop and check it. Some days I just don't have time to play, but most days I keep my sanity by being a part of my 780some friends' lives. Don't like seeing me there - GO AWAY.

Speaking of which - I can totally see why they think I'm always on there - farmville started with the "Valentines" thing this week. It's like an obsession to be the first to click for a 'bonus' or 'collectible' or 'Valentine" or best of all - "A Valentine PRIZE". And besides - I've gotten 188 Valentines so far. I feel the love! And who doesn't want free love man!!??

When I left class tonight (early - and I'll explain in my end-of-the-week blog) my windows were frosted over. No biggie - started the van, kicked up the heat and defrost buttons....and realized it was INSIDE the van. I had to scrape ice from the INSIDE of my van. NONE on the outside - only the inside. Weird. Couldn't even tell Kent about it when I got home, b/c everyone except the daughter child was asleep!

I think tomorrow, I'm going to stay after class and write the paper and get an article for my class from tonight. Then I'll be done with all the work in THIS class and can start on my Positive Psych paper. Good plan. We'll see how the benedryl is making me feel...

Starting to worry that no one is reading my ramblings....if you are reading, post something to me! If I get enough readers, I'm going to figure out that whole "get paid to blog" thing I've heard about.

OH - and it's Valentine's Day this weekend. WOOHOO!!! YIPPEE SKIPPEE!!!! Oh, wait, I'm not a high school girl anymore.....I haven't celebrated Valentine's day since I met Kent. 15 years ago. I always get the kids something - but we've never found a good enough reason to waste money on flowers that will die, chocolate that.....wait - CHOCOLATE IS NEVER A WASTE.....stuffed animals that take up space, or any of the other gooey-schmooey carp you can get for a loved one. I have more jewelry than I can wear at one time, and Kent's just not a lovey-dovey kinda guy. I did tell him though - he's buying me NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK's new DVD set this year. He asked today if I had received it yet, or should he intercept the mail and wrap it. I told him to bite me. See - what a day for lovers....*rolleyes*

I guess the kiddos will be heading back to school tomorrow. This is a great thing, as we were all going crazy cooped up here for 4...5? days. We all got a break the other night - they stayed at Grandma's house (well, 2 of them did) and it was soooo quiet here! I'm sure I can't say the same for my mother's house....*giggle*

Getting the tax return this week. Looks like the bills WILL be paid off, and then new clothes for the kiddos! Won't be lookin' like orphans anymore! This is a good thing. I think I may even get a pair of shoes....I haven't had new shoes....well....I can't remember how long ago. That's sad. WAIT! Maybe I'll splurge and get a PURSE too. I'm sooooo NOT a shopper. I'd still be wearing stone-washed jeans (with rolled legs) and sweatshirts if I could get away with it! Oh, wait....that's pretty much my wardrobe now - minus the rolled leg jeans.

So, I've blogged enough tonight. I feel accomplished. Gonna go crash. (translated = the benedryl is kicking my tush) Stay safe, and carry on!

Hot Blooded Radio

 

My brother did his first show here tonight!  He’s an AWESOME DJ….can’t wait to hear him again.  CHECK IT OUT! :)

Reality check people!!

I have a few thoughts to share tonight.

1. If you have to ASK why you 'haven't been friended' on facebook - chances are, you aren't a friend. In fact - I really don't like you. There is a SMALL chance that I just haven't seen you on fb.....but if you'be been on there a LONG time, and you have family on my page - AND - you vandalized my car and threatened to beat me to a pulp in high school - ummm......yeah....I don't like you. Get a freakin' clue.


2. If four different people tell you that your boyfriend is sleeping with your best friend - chances are, your boyfriend's story of 'being friends' isn't believable. He's using you. Get a clue, and let me punch him out. I know YOU can do it, but I would get major satisfaction b/c she's a total bi-otch that needs a 'putting her n her place' punch.

3. If you attend a church, and you feel like you can't speak to a 'former church member' when you see them in public - chances are - you are a hypocrite. Everyone deserves respect. EVERYONE.

4. If your name is Shawn - you need to STFU. Just sayin'. *giggle*

5. I'm sure there are more things to 'correct you' in your thinking, but it's late, and Kent is out of the shower.....If you are reading this, and it applies to you - I'm not REALLY sorry, but kinda sorry - only if you are from #2. ;)

End of the school week...

So my school week is over. An interesting week was had by all. I mentioned that my "Human Sexuality' teacher was a 70 year old woman....I think I LOVE this class. She's been married twice, and had children, and a Sch-load of life experience. I'm learning a lot in this class. And not really about 'sex', but about 'life', and 'marriage', and how to communicate effectively. There was a young girl in another class this week who said she dropped her class as soon as she met her, 'there is NO WAY I'm learning about sex from an old lady!' she said. I don't like that girl. Give me a woman with life experience over a younger, less experienced, 'clinical' woman any day!!! Because of her class, I actually had a great conversation with my husband that ACCOMPLISHED something!!! Thank you Ms. Nickle.

In my minority class, we laughed, we raised our eyebrows, and we laughed some more. This professor isn't really suited for teaching (so far) but he makes us laugh - and I like the people in the class! AND - he FINALLY realized what I am. "YOU'RE CHEROKEE!!! THAT'S IT!!!!" Umm....duh?

Social Psychology rocks! I'm loving this professor - he makes us laugh, and teaches at the same time! And there is a bit of teasing. He knows my Father-in-law, and I promised him wine to forget it. THAT got a lot of laughs! (My FIL owns a winery!)

In my workforce issues class....this is her first class she's ever taught, and is really nervous about it. At first I was a little leary of being her guinea pig, but after two classes, I like her - I really, really like her! We go over the chapter, and have a quiz.....and those questions will be on the final!! This week, we watched "Yes Man" b/c it dealt with.....um, I'm not really sure how it applied, but whatever! :)

Then there is my Positive Psychology class taught by the father of the girl who fired me from the church. Yep, AWwwwwKWARD!!! Actually, it hasn't really been a problem. He's a great teacher, and I really am learning things. I love it when my mind is forced to think.....and this class is about POSITIVITY. I always need more of that in my life!

Alright - I didn't realize this didn't post, and I'm finishing it Sunday. SO - this week, I'll try to publish it on FRIDAY like I planned on....:)

My greatest Wishes....

1. ....when people passed away, you knew EXACTLY where they were going, so you can rejoice, and never cry.

2.....that you could make people laugh, and all their problems just faded away.

3....that when I watched those true crime shows, and cold case files, and see the posts from missing and exploited children - I could just KNOW the answer. What happened, who did it, how, and where to find them. :/

4.....That when my children were sick, sad, or not happy - I could magically make it go away with a wiggle of my nose, or a blink of my eyes.

5....That Jensen Ackles would show up at my house, ready to take me away from all....*THIS*.....at least for a day or two. ;)

6.....That New Kids On The Block would send me tickets and backstage passes to all their shows, and invite me and my daughter and friends to hang with them. HEAVEN!!!

7.....That so many people read and RESPONDED to my blogs, that I could post interactive posts, and learn about them. (besides Blase, I already know and love him!)

8.....That I could find my way back to God. Hypocrites, and circumstances have left a huge void in my life, and I hate that. At least I recognize that - it's a first step - right?

9....that my perfect job would appear after I get my degree. This one COULD still happen.

10....that no matter what memories she has, my daughter-child will always love her 'mother', and give her the proper respect. 9 months and delivery deserves at least that.

11.....that, God willing....Kent and I can always work through whatever problems we have, and be the best parents possible.

12....That grasshoppers die a slow, painful death and I never have to see one again.

and...

13....My father will finally love me. And my children.

Monday in the life...

So Avery is home from school with ear infections. He had a fever on and off for the entire weekend. Cried himself to sleep Friday night with the 'beans' heated and on one ear, then the other. He's been pretty ticked at me all weekend b/c I wouldn't let him play outside in the snow. :/ Sorry buddy - fever + ear pain does not get you a ticket to play OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW. Took him to the doctor's today and he was laughing, and being silly - couldn't even tell he had been sick. "Praise God" as Doctor Ellen says...*giggle*

Rogan got to go to school in his 'jammas' today and take his Build-A-Bear in HIS jammas for a teddy bear picnic. He's been asking for over a week "is this the day I wear 'jammas' to school??" I can't wait to get home tonight and hear all about it!

I'm waiting for my class to start - currently listening to "Queensryche" on my iphone and ignoring the people sitting next to me. Come on, I don't have to talk to you EVERY time I see you. If I had something to talk about with YOU - I'd do it. As it stands, you give me the heebie-jeebies and I can't hardly stand to look at you, let alone smell your breath and TALK to you. *giggle* That wasn't nice.

I thought the sch-load of homework that my professors assigned was a bunch of CARP, but after working on it, I realized that I actually KNOW what's going to be talked about tonight in this chapter. That's good. Sneaky professors teaching us stuff and stuff.

So, I'm off to "Human Sexuality" to learn stuff. I haven't even looked at the chapter yet, perhaps I should read some before class starts!
