Feeling: Sad and Tired
Listening to: Crickets

Well, tomorrow is moving day. I am really sad about the house, but hopefully someone will find the letter I wrote to the house and hid in the top of my closet and know how much I loved it here.
I am kind of excited about living with Angie tho'. It will be a lot cheaper. I have already been promised a beautiful new duvet set since I have to do most of the preparations for moving myself. You can see it here: Gypsy Set I really love it and it will go so nice with some of the stuff I already have. Chuck is being really sweet to me right now, since I just cry a lot all the time. I can't help it, since we are losing this fabulous house, and we are going to be living in basically one dark paneled room until Angie's brother and his horrid children move out of the house.
Her brother's family is the absolute filthiest bunch of people I have ever seen. The last home they lived in didn't have any kitchen cabinets when they moved out, because the children had torn them off the walls. They are all fat and undisciplined. While making some preparations to move into this home, I gathered up the dirty clothes from the bathroom, and found several pairs of underwear with poop and maggots (!) in them. These boys are 10 and 12 years old. The father is completely unconcerned about it, and doesn't seem to mind that there is solid (!) milk in glasses on the counter, or that the stench from the dishes left for a month in the dishwasher is overwhelming. He brings home about $800 a week and can't spring for some $1.49 dish detergent? So I have spent all week with gloves on trying to make this a reasonable place for my child to be. Angie has tried to keep it tidy, but is too passive to tell the man to get his shit together and take care of things, so I will be stuck with it since I can't live like that. At least my room will be clean :) So Chuck is appealing to my greedy side and promising me lots of pretty things to make our space livable and beautiful because I have to go somewhere ugly. I will probably also get a newer car, since we call mine the vacuum because it sucks so bad.
Other than that, I have mostly been trying to help my son wade through his very first research project and working on family relations, since things are strained with my mom right now. They are getting better, because I love her and have to try and forgive her for this and try to understand her reasons for it. I don't want to lose my mom too, so I am trying to be the better person and just go on with everything and keep my money to myself from now on.
Well, I will update in a few days and tell you how it's going, but now I have to go take my Zoloft, because I think I am gonna need it.

So, I only update once a month now...Get over it!
Feeling: Introspective

Actualy, I have been having a reflective period and have been purposely avoiding journaling online. I think I am better now, and ready to take this online journal in a new direction. You know, stop whining and create a life to write about. I have no social life, really. The best it gets is going to the Wal-Mart and seeing someone I went to high school with. So I am just going to have to create my own little social whirlwind here in Bloomington. It is kind of hard to do, since the students come and go and so the scenery you have to impose yourself on is always changing. So I am going to try it, I have never been afraid of a challenge before, and I think it will make me a more interesting person to read about here. My updates may be fewer and farther between, but it is going to take a lot of attention to me to get this ball rolling

Ciao Bellas

Oh Night Divine
Feeling: Glittery (just out of spite)

So, the kind folks at BOV or Bloggy Opinions reviewed my site. I am not even going to give them a link, since they couldn't find anything at all positive to say about my site except to say that my links worked. She even made fun of the fact that one day I felt "Glittery" . Apparently she has never felt glittery and sparkley and shiny. She was overly concerned with my age and my use of a "childish" template. I am not even sure she read any of my posts or tried to get the feeling of the blog overall. I guess she can say whatever she wants and it can be a form of free, albeit negative, advertising. (Sticking my tongue out at the mean lady >:P )
I am almost done with my Christmas shopping. I have just a few more gifts to buy, which is cool since I started on Dec. 19th. We have been busy wrapping gifts and trying to stay ahead of Conner's questions about Santa and his exsistence in general. I really want him to keep believing for at least a couple of more years. I think when you stop believing in Santa, you lose a huge part of your childhood and it affects the rest of your life. It is good to be open to fantasy and to have some faith in the magical side of things. I still believe and I refuse to think that it could all be a lie.
I have walking pneumonia, and I generally feel like death warmed over a second time. It is not so much the coughing and pain, but the overwhelming fatigue that comes along with it. Apparently, I could suffer with it for sometime, so I am just trying to get used to it.
I should really be getting back to the grind now, since I am at work.
Ciao Bellas!

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
Feeling: Festive!

WooHoo!!! I am in the holiday spirit something fierce!!! I love love love Christmas and all the lights and brights and garland and shopping and crowds and Santa and just everything!!! I haven't done any of my shopping yet, since I don't get my big non-rent-paying check until the 20th, but I enjoy the last minute thing too. My tree is up and twinkling away (usually with a cat in it!) and the stockings are hung. We had our office Christmas party last night, and it was really nice. I have been a temp so much that I have missed out on a lot of Christmas parties, but this was fabulous!!! We all ate Chinese food and everyone got drunk (except me and a couple of other teetotalers-more on that later tho, I am in too good of a mood to talk about my reason behind not drinking, except to tell you that it is not a 12-step sort of thing) This morning I found out that after I left about 9pm, a lot of people stayed out until after 2am, going from place to place and downing drinks at a tremendous rate of speed. I am almost glad I missed it.
Well, since I am at work, I am going to cut this short. Please please please do my poll-I will love you forever if you do!
Loves, Me
