bleh..
That is how I feel. I was a little excited that I realized this morning that it was Friday..other than that bleh...
I had a super wierd dream, it had to do with Lily Walsh (character on my soap), baked potatos (which I ended up packing for lunch) and I don't know what else...then the dog was on my face and the alarm was going off..and boom it was Friday.
Next week I'll do some kind of Thanksgiving what I am thankful post. For now I'd like to bitch...cause it's my blog and I can.
I hate my job right now. Too many A personalities, nothing is getting good cause as I've said out loud to whoever will listen "it takes a fricking villiage to get ANYTHING done around here"...I hate that.
I am NOT drinking enough water. I feel chained to my desk at times and just don't fill my water glass.
I haven't gone to WW meeting for months and I can tell I have gained some weight back and I'm not happy about that. I'm still fitting in the smaller sized clothes. I need to fix this right away.
I haven't been reading much lately and it's cause the light is screwed up in the bedroom. Last night we got a new light at Target and I still don't like it.
I don't want to deal with the Thanksgiving crap. J wanted to do my family this turkey day which is fine now his mom is making me feel guilty we're not going there then I find out that logistically we CAN go there..and we should since it is the first year without her husband but why didn't we just go there in the first place. Now I don't want to go to my family...how did this happen...I screwed this all up..now I am committed from noon to 10pm...shit...
The last couple years I have gotten into college football thanks to J...I really enjoy it. J woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me #2 Oregon lost last night in an upset which technically moves Mizzou into #4 place behind the dreaded Kansas..SO I'm psyched cause we can watch the game this weekend cause Drew isn't over..it will be chilly outside...warm inside..curl up w/ the cats and dogs and some college football..I can make some chili..STOP...fricken check the schedule. Game is on at 11:30 in the morning. I have a birthday party to go to...that I WANT to go to. Who the hell plays a football game at 11:30 in the morning, especially when you are a team heading to a bowl game...then I stop and think, they played at 11:30 last week when we were there too. Then I realize it's cause the world revolves around the flipping East Coast Time Zone..Who the hell cares???? No offence LuLu...
My dvr in the bedroom still doesen't work. Why, because I don't feel like calling Dish and staying on the phone with India for a hour while we trouble shoot..then they end up sending me a new unit that I have to pay for.
OK..I'm all better now..just have to shake the funk a bit..NEXT week will be the thankful list.. it will include coffee :-)

November - National Adoption Month
October is breast cancer, I didn't know it but November is National Adoption Month. Click on the link if you are interested in the report that came out. I have read it a couple times and I agree with it 100%.
Key points..
Adopted persons are the only individuals in the United States who, as a class, are not permitted to routinely obtain their original birth certificates. This prohibition on access to one's personal information raises significant civil rights concerns, particularly given the growing understanding of the need to know one's history, heritage, medical and genealogical data.
THIS is what it is about:
"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage, to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning; no matter what our attainments in life, there is the most disquieting loneliness."
-- Alex Haley (Roots)
I agree, at any age we are still treated as children. Missouri has some of the most strict laws. I hope to see changes in my lifetime.

Megan Meier Story - I'm pissed
Read this.
Did you read it?? Go there them come back and read the rest of this.
Here we are on the internet. You can be whoever you want to be. You can have no name or a cute name...partially your name. You can be honest and wear your heart on your sleeve or you can lie your ass off.
You can play a joke on someone, spy on your ex-husbands girlfriend..whatever! We're adults who sometimes act immature and play around a bit on the internet, it happens.
The younger you get those the sillier you are, you may do something and hurt someones feelings. I've seen it before where someone will post something then take it back because someone will hurt someones feelings. We're "adults" and we make mistakes.
That story of what happened to Megan and her MySpace "friend" is NOT a mistake. That was adults that ON PURPOSE created a fake person so they could find out what Megan knew about their daughter? At least that is how I understand the news story. This lead to an insecure little girl (13 is still a little girl) being abused verbally by adults and children over the internet. This insecure girl killed herself. What kind of adults would ever spearhead a campaign like that? I cannot even imagine. It just really boils my blood that such horrible people exsist. You do NOT teach your children how to be mean to other children, you just don't do that. There is a bad seed that started WAY early..because if these people who I would assume are in their 20's, 30's or 40's taught there daughter that..what did their parents teach them. Hopefully that ex-friend can break the cycle and become a better person than her parents.
I don't know these people but I can tell you this summer we were at that parish for a soccer game. There was a volleyball game going on in the gym and I wonder if Megan was there. I wonder if she was hoping her game would be done early so she could go home and hear from Josh.
I don't know that the public will ever know who these people are. I just hope that they will learn how cruel they are and take responsibility for what they did and that they will learn how to be good parents. As for the Meier's....there aren't words

MP Monday Review
We say Fred Clause. OMG it is hysterical. Personally for a holiday movie I liked it better than Tim Allen's The Santa Clause. Here are the things I liked about the movie:
* Vince Vaughn
* Big Name Actors
* Adult humor without being dirty or offensive
* The spirit of Christmas without being too sappy
* Fresh ideas..you had an idea how it was going to end but you were still anxious to follow it to the end.
* Surprises..there was one scene in particular that had me in a giggle fit.
* Worth your time...We left with smiles on our faces
* Realistic...for a Santa Clause movie
I would suggest Kindergarten and up. There is a plot to the movie, any younger than that they may bet bored.
Date movie..why not. I would have enjoyed it just as much if there wasn't a child sitting next to me.

movie day!
We were going to see the Bee Movie today but instead have decided we are going to see Fred Clause. I LOVE Vince Vaughn..hopefully this is good.
So far we've gone to church and I've been doing laundry. Nothing real exciting. Drew is watching Drake and Josh and J is in the bedroom watching the Rams.
Hopefully Mizzou will come out around 5th or 6th in the polls today. That was hysterical that Illinois beat Ohio St...Awesome! There were some of the best Anti Kansas T shirts yesterday. Bright gold shirt: Side one said KANSAS SUCKS, the reverse side said AND SWALLOWS TOO...
It suchs cause Kansas has had such a lame schedule and they are ranked higher. Well Mizzou Plays Kansas at a neutral site (KC) coming up in a few weeks, that will be interesting.
Go check out my pictures, they turned out pretty good!

Bossy has on the left side of her blog her family story in pictures.
Val has been posting her grandma's diary..she's gotten busy and hasn't posted as much, but I know she'll get back to it.. Grandma loves Grandpa SO much...you know they are going to get engaged soon. I also love Grandma's diary.. for a weekend she'll note that she washed her hair :-)
Pioneer Woman has been posting about meeting the hunky Marboro Man. Can you believe she gave up Chicago and Starbucks??? Yeah..have you seen the pictures of MM?
Then there is Hot From the Furnace. We're getting the first love/high school story. It's a little steam. The finale there is on Monday so you have time to catch up.
Happy Reading...next time you hear from me I'll be 41!!
