Why is it that some people think their actions have zero consequences?!?!!

You want to talk about being ashamed??? Shame on you! Attacking the one person that stayed neutral during all the drama you brought to this family, the manipulation, the blood you sucked out of someone I love more than anything in the world! You're grasping at straws because you realize you've got nothing left. Maybe I should start asking your family how much shame they feel in raising a completely pathetic psycho.

Hopefully soon you realize you're only hurting the most precious little angel that this world has ever known.

I can't understand or rationalize your actions. All I can do is hope and wish that at some point maturity will become part of your vocabulary and this whole mess will be over real soon!!!

Whoa! I fall in and out of the whoas of being a grown up. Real life situations slap me in the face and make me realize that yes, life is what you make it...but there are times you can't make, brake or scrap(by)...they just happen out of no where. Its how you handle the whoas that can make or brake what we can take from the experience. That doesn't mean that it makes it any less difficult to deal with. But more.."Hey remember what your learned". These are the times we prove to ourselves whether we are a phoenix or a rat..can we rise from the ashes or smolder in the rumble. Some strong words and a "can do" attitude along with a strong mind can make the hardest times seem like a piece of cake. As I type these words I try to convince myself that its true. I want to believe it and I try to live it, but I can't help but to be discouraged. I want nothing but the best, that doesn't mean the most expensive, but what's best for me and anything less than that is hard to swallow. So..what do you do when you have a hard pill for someone else but can't quite dish the dose???

The Low Down on the Pat Down

I'm getting real frustrated with the outcry over the damn full-body scanners and more "intrusive" pat downs at the airport. 

What do I love more that my personal bubble?  Safety, not getting blown up on a plane by some over zealous religious freak. 

I honestly don't see the problem...I have nothing to hide and if you don't either, what's the big deal.  Yes, its uncomfortable getting felt up by a complete stranger...but honestly most Americans go through the same thing Friday night at the local pub..when inhibitions are low and judgement is out the window.  So why allow it then, when nothing is really at stake. 

The TSA is damned if the do, damned if they don't.  The minute one of these liberal weirdos gets killed on a hijacked plane, b/c a bomber got through a more lax security after all the complaints, the family will sue for nothing being done. 

Oh and one last thing...stop calling the security guards names...its uncalled for!

Because I'm White N Trashy...no, not me!

My Mom, Sister and I all grew such a love for this song.  It's hilarious.

I'm bumming the link off another follow blogger's page.  Once you click the link, push the White and Trashy Link and then be prepared to be extremely entertained for the next 2 minutes and 30 seconds of your life.  But the fun doesn't stop there, it'll be stuck in your head for at least the next month.  And the next time you're walking through Wal-Mart it'll play constantly in your mind as your eyes feast on those White and Trashy Specimens that frequent the establishment.

It's ok to love and hate me, both at the same time, for this!

Enjoy!

Letting the Bitch Stand in Your Way???

There is a super thin line between standing up for what you believe and simply being a bitch....it may sound harsh...but its the truth.

How do we decide when its appropriate to set our own feelings aside, not for the sack of others, but for the sack of arguing and when...you bet your ass I'm mad, throw down is just the ticket??!??!!

I struggle with this as I'm sure most women do...we're programmed to please, be easy going..but some of us just aren't..and there isn't a thing wrong with that. But am I going to pick a fight and make a scene when the waitress brings me a baked potato instead of mashed...probably not, unless its that time of the month and even still no scene will occur, just a pleasant.."This isn't what I ordered!" It isn't worth it...am I going to enjoy it just as much...yes! But when it comes to personal attacks on me and those I love I find it rather hard to hold my tongue. And don't even get me started on respect...everyone, in my opinion deserves an automatic amount and then the rest is earned! So treat me with some and I'll do the same!

I don't really relate to this song in my personal life...but I just think it's a great song that doesn't get played enough, well, not here in Florida.  And it's amazing to me how songs like that, " I want to be a millionare..." one will get played ooooverrrr and ooooovvveerrr and oooovvveerrr and while it may be catchy and get stunk in your head all day, that doesn't make it decent music.  I wish someone would show this song some radio airtime love!

Expectations and Blue Jeans

I got to thinking about expectations and what that word actually means.  Depending on the scale in which you set them, it can change so many things: a movie, a nice dinner out, the fit of your perfect pair of jeans that you haven't worn in months, a relationship, a trip, an interview, etc.

So what happens when our expectations don't add up..disappointment/frustration...and other words full of heartbreak.  Then, when something happens, that exceeds our expectations...a wonderful feeling emerges that can change your whole outlook on the day, week, month, life.

Knowing what can happen, why is that we sometimes set our expectations extremely too high, setting others up to fail and ultimately disappointing ourselves.  Expectations are always going to be sky high for those we hold closest to our hearts, but they're just human...we as the "expectation holder" are never perfect, why do we ask that in others.

But the down side, always setting low expectations...that's no way to live.  Expecting too little, causes laziness and easy-way-outs.  We think highly of those we love and only want the best out of them.  Expecting not enough, will result in never wanting them to do or be better for you, but mainly themselves.  Why try, when you don't have to, kind of attitude.

Where is the happy medium...is there one? How can I not disappoint and frustrate myself, but still set standards that I believe to be tangible?!?!!?

As a side note, let me explain my reason behind this blog:
My Husband and I were going to meet my grandparents for dinner and a comedy show.  On our drive to the restaurant BJ says: "I hope this buffet is GREAT!" Then I follow with, knowing good and well, there is no such thing as a GREAT buffet..it's a mythical creature.."Lets go with good, that fits better and that way we...you, aren't let down."  We get there and the food isn't terrible, but not great, and slim pickings, which really isn't something you would expect of a buffet.  BJ's little heart was broken.  He didn't know what to do.  I, on the other hand, had expected, simply just food, and therefore wasn't let down. 

Something as small as this....leads to my brain churning all night trying to figure out how to beat the expectation doom, the expectation high is something to live for, but the doom can be devastating.  Yes, disappointment is a part of life, I get it.  But wouldn't it be nice to minimize that, by just assessing the situation and setting realistic expectations for that particular scenario or person, whether they are set high or low, just the perfect fit...like blue jeans.  I know it, I can say it...well, type it, but I struggle to put it into practice....and after all practice makes perfect!!!
