I LOVE...

My son so very much it overwhelms me sometimes. I would do anything for him. I couldn't stand being away from him too long. He has given my life so much more joy, meaning, and depth....much more than I ever could have imagined. He has made me a better person and I couldn't imagine him not being in my life. Everything he does is amazing to me. No matter what I may be going through, when he smiles at me I feel nothing but happiness and love.

Pet Peeves

I've compiled a list of SOME of the things that annoy me the most:


* Bad drivers

* Gossip mongers in the workplace.... (why why why)

* Mean spirited people.... (those that are just rude for no reason)

* House guests that arrive w/ no courtesy call... (hey I can be flexible, I'm just saying I wouldn't do that to someone myself and it is called a 'courtesy call' for a reason)

* Apartment complex tenants that cannot respect other tenants around them!

* Geo Metros

* Vanilla scented candles...blech!

* Heavy metal

* This children's show called "The Wiggles." If you've ever seen it, you know what I'm talking about! It's just wrong.

* Cigarettes

* The sound of nails on a chalkboard or any noise that is similar.

* Materialistic people

* Any type of racist or prejudiced remarks or comments towards any sex, race, culture, religion, or sexual orientation. (I've learned more about this subject & feel very strongly about how it affects others)

* Being judgmental.... (I think we all sometimes do this without thinking...no one is perfect....I know I have. But I'm mainly referring to judgemental people that are on a 24/7 kick)

* Clutter

* When a pen runs out of ink when you are writing or signing something.

* The economy

* Men........sometimes......ok, most of the time!

* Type "A" personalities..............mainly in the workplace.


Personally, I could probably go on and on but I'm sure a longer list will only make me look like a negative and picky person.....LOL!!

29

Old friends by kevindooley

This month I am turning the ripe old ass age of 29.

I just asked my Nyder a bit ago, "Where did the time go? Where did the years go? Where did my life go?" Verrrry good questions. Man, I know you're not supposed to obsess about getting older, but being faced with the reality that I am literally one year away from being the big 30 is scary.

Don't get me wrong, I am so thankful to God that I am alive to reach each and every birthday. I guess it's just a time of major reflection for me. So hopefully I can take my thoughts and turn them into good for the future. I am going to enjoy this year if it's the last thing I do! After all, I will be leaving my 20s forever behind me soon, and I think I need to go out with a big BANG.
