Broken Trucks And Broken Bones

Please let nothing else break!

Last night my "Check Engine" light came on. That little light ended up costing me $320.00 for some computer chip thingie I really needed to make certain the fuel is regulated. Not having a properly functioning chip thingie could cause me to be stalled out some where, which is never a good thing!

That, however, ended up being the least of my conserns today. Little Man broke his ankle on the playground today at school. So badly infact that the ER Docs only put him in a temp cast until he can see an Orthopedist since the brake is in a growth center in his ankle. At 11 years of age that is an extreamly uncool thing to have happen. I am guessing that surgery will be in order, but we will have to wait and see.

Water Fire Weekend and My Baby Grew Up

We went to Water Fire '08 in Kansas City last night. Click the picture to take you to my flickr page to view more.

Big Sister turned 14 today (the 26th)! My baby is all growwed up now. (I would be the one in the corne sobbing, becase she is already asking about a driver's licences.)

This Morning The Dr Said...

I FUCKING HAVE BRONCHITIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two In The Same Day And Three In A weeks Time!

Since I don't feel well and I can't sleep......

I almost forgot to talk about the books I have been reading. Exactly how far up my ass is my head I would like to know. Me not talking about books I must be ill....

Anyway, I have been on a "Fantasy" binge lately because of new releases from my favorite authors. As of late I have completed:

Book One from the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (actually the second book because of a prequil.) Mideival Magic, they are real page turners!

Wild Fire by Nelson DeMille Homeland Security kind of stuff (was trying to get it finished before his next one came out, whew I did it.)

The Good German by (I can't remember) Now I need to see the movie with George Clooney and Kate Blanchet.

Brisingr by Steve Paolini (book 3 in a 4 book series) Dragons Magic and really good bad guys. New this month Excelent Read his best yet.

A Lion Among Men by Gregory McGuire (book 3 in the Wicked series, new last week) This one is the Wizard of Oz as told by the Lion not the best of the lot but still good.

As soon as I finish A Lion Among Men I will start Gate House by Nelson DeMille my most favorite author ever. It hits the book stores in two days!!!! (excluding JK Rowling who has a small book coming out in Dec)

There are so many other authors I need to catch up on. I am way behind on the Alex Cross series by James Patterson. There are still a few John Grisham I need to read, not to mention the newer ones that have come out. I have yet to finish all of the "Jack Ryan" novels by Tom Clancy (Hunt for Red October etc.) I am also so far behind on Patricia Cornwell, and Steve Martini I don't even want to think about it.

It's a bitch they make you work to pay bills when there are some many books to be read! People need to get their priorities straightend out that's for certain!

Monday SUX!

Actually, as Mondays go this one was pretty good except for being sick. I am heading to the Dr with my son first thing Tuesday for some drug, and good ones I hope. Beter living through chemistry I always say!

I am trying not to get pneumonia again. Looks like I may have Broncitis though. I hate it when this shit sneeks up on you.

If you don't feel special you aught to. I posted twice in the same five days!

Good News vs. Bad News

Ok, The bad news first.....

I got a call on my cell phone Thursday at 10:30pm (I hate calls after 9:00pm becasue it is always bad news!)A former employee of mine had died. He wasn't just an employee he was also a friend, and a surigate grandpa too. He was a very private person so no one knew how ill he really was. Plus I had lost touch since he was no longer my employee.

To quote a characture on BBCs MI5 "I went into the bathroom and had a puke and a cry..." I didn't realy puke but I did morn. It sux, but he was in his 70s so not totally unexpected. All in all, Andy I will miss you greatly!

Now for the good news....

I can't give particulars, however, I can say there is a more than good chance that my work schedule will change on my current job so that I won't have to work from 9:30 to 6:30, the schedule that is currently kicking my ass. ANDDDDDDD! Because gas prices have dropped I am sharpening my pencil to see if I can start training at 24 hour fitness again, so far it is looking good... I will keep you updated.

But What If Im Working On Those Aspects Of My Life?

Yeah right, I have heard that one before. TRANSLATION = Im still an emotionally crippled bitch who has no intentions of ever changing and is looking for a willing fool to manipulate. I very politely told her that I was not into fixerupper relationships, and that I personally had taken the time BEFORE I started dating to get myself back in order. I further told her that if she was "still working on those aspects" she was not only not ready to date, but was incappable of a healthy relationship. (in my opinion of course.)

That my sound blunt and harsh to some, but it's my life and she asked the question and ended it with a why or why not. Frankly, it is my opinion that while what I said may have stung, it wouldn't have stung bad enough to motivate change in her life. She likely called me an asshole under her breath, and will keep on keepin' on until she finds that poor schmuck of a doormat to date her. You know what? I COULD CARE LESS AS LONG AS I AM NOT THAT POOR SCHMUCK OF A DOORMAT.

There are soooooo many emotionaly crippled people in this world it makes you wonder. Actually, it's quite sad, because they are all doomed to bad relationships for the rest of their lives barring some major change brought on by years of hard work.
