So, here we are on the 10th anniversary of the worst act of domestic terrorism ever. The television stations have been showing it over and over and over all day. The "Mastermind" behind these attacks was reported to be killed earlier this year, yet we were denied his "head on a stake," and he was "buried at sea." I find this all very convenient as well as suspect considering that 2012 is an election year. So we have a memorial today. Fine. How many people have died in horrible Unpredictable accidents over the past 10 years? How many fire fighters and policemen and women? Countless. Will we celebrate their lives every 10 years? I think not. What makes it worse is that we have helped to fund Al Quaida in overthrowing Ghadaffi, and NOW we are letting Libya build a an embassy in Washington, DC. WOW, may as well have let Bin Laden himself move in right next door.
So, if you see a fireman/woman or a policeman/woman thank them not for 9/11, but for the job that they continue to do on a daily basis!

Coffee....
What can I say? I'm addicted to the stuff. Actually, I'm addicted to a lot of things, most are benign, and none are illegal. I guess maybe addicted is a harsh word. Obsessive, Compulsive, Impulsive. All words I would use to describe myself. All of which are controlled MOST of the time through psychotherapy and psychochemestry. LOL, I just made that word up, but I like it. Sounds much better than the dreaded "psychiatric medication" that I take for my Bi-Polar Disorder. Like I have said before, at least I know I have a problem and seek treatment. I don't self medicate with Alcohol or illegal drugs.
SOOO, back to the coffee that I swill by the gallons. I love it. Just plain old coffee with cream and Splenda. I like a nice Breakfast Blend, and I do like cinnamon in it occasionally. For the most part, I'm a simple girl addicted to caffeine. That is my confession for the day. Not that it is a confession, anyone that knows me KNOWS that I drink a LOT of coffee. LOL I just felt like writing about it, and I had nothing better to do at the time. Maybe one day, I'll write about some of my other addictions, that are not as well known. ^^

Inspector Gadget....
I had the home inspection and termite inspection done on our prospective new home. Nothing major found wrong. The inspector said that for a home to be almost 40 years old it was in excellent condition. I was glad to hear that. The septic inspector stood us up. I was a bit more than pissed since it is a bit of a road trip for me. No termites either. Yay!
My sister has found other living arrangements and will be out of the house by October 1st. Of course, there are still a few kinks in the process. A cousin took an oil lamp that was supposed to NOT go to him. He just took it when he knew good and well it was supposed to go to my grandmother's niece. Some people think they are just entitled to things. I go in with no sense of entitlement at all. I was never close to my grandmother. Not necessarily of MY choosing. When you are little, it is the responsibility of the ADULT to nurture the relationship which she did not, so when I grew up, I never felt the obligation. I know that may sound cold and heartless, but how can you have feelings for someone that never really gave a damn about you?
ANYWAY, our mortgage broker says that everything is looking great on her end, and everything is going good on our end, so hopefully we will be closing on our house mid-October. THEN and ONLY THEN will the squabbling stop, because whatever is left that I don't want will go to Good-Will cuz that's how I roll........

Wow, It HAS been a while...
Just a few thoughts in my head on this hot August day. Nothing much worth writing about until now, so I thought I would jot them down.
1)If you have failed relationship after failed relationship the problem most likely isn't them it is you. Not necessarily that you are a bad person, but that you make bad choices. So, maybe you should rethink how and where you find your prospective mates, and once you find them how you treat them.
2)If you have to drink everyday you are an alcoholic. Period.
3)If you see a Psychiatrist for ANY reason, and they write you prescriptions for ANY disorder YOU have a PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER. So, don't look down on me, because I am open about mine.
4)Remember, we are all one step away from poverty.
5)Just because I am different than you are doesn't make you better than I am. Try taking a walk in my shoes. If you want to know something about my life all you have to do is ask. I may tell you it is none of your fucking business, but I may not. I'm not going to set myself up for more ridicule, and I am no fool.
End of my thoughts of the day.

Semi-sweet Chocolate :)
Most everyone loves chocolate. I am NO exception. Some like white chocolate, which is nothing more than sweetened cocoa butter, some like milk chocolate, some like dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate which happens to be my favorite. This entry is not about chocolate though it is about how I am feeling right now, but most of my readers had probably figured that out by now. LOL
I am in a semi-sweet kind of mood. My husband and I celebrated our 11th anniversary on June 7th. "Celebrate" is hardly what we did. LOL Being halfway around the world makes it impossible to celebrate properly, but at least we have made it this far. I have been busy collecting some of his favorite goodies for an "Anniversary/Father's Day" box. I got him a "Swamp People" T-shirt and DVD and some of his favorite snacks. Kendra mailed it off today for me, so he should have it by Father's Day. It will be a nice surprise for him.
Kendra started softball workouts this week. She was nervous after the disaster last season was, but this season promises to be a good one. There is a whole new coaching staff, so there is NO family bias or favoritism going on. I am excited to see how it will play out for her!
I'm looking forward to the next year, but it is bittersweet. She is a Senior this year, so she will be turning to a new chapter in her life, and so will I. I can't wait to see what it brings!!

Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime...
Seasons change. I am going into my 40th Summer now, and I am damn proud to be here. It has started with a bang, and I hope that it continues that way. It is another step towards bringing my husband home in the Fall. My daughter will be entering her senior year in high school this year, so we are looking at colleges. So much to do and so little time to do it, but I'm looking forward to every second of it. Bring it on! I'm older, a little wiser, and a lot stronger!
