I just finished all the Twilight Books. I remember being young and reading these no substance romance books. And I admit that I read a series that was so sappy and heart wrenching, but they never made the obsessive craze that these books have. What a bunch of fluff. Not only did the author try too hard but her writing was a sad attempt at quality. It is as sad as The Da Vinci Code without the interesting research.
I am mostly sad that girls are still surrounding them selves with books that have no redeeming quality to them. They read this fluff and think that that is what life is about, it never prepares them for the real world and the have very strange expectations of Happily Ever After. What shit! Can we not read books like Little Women that is about the girls making better choices? About wanting a career, learning how hard it is too be married, about death, and shaping your character into something good instead of your body.
Lastly, these books bugged me because I wasted a total of 2560 on something that could have fit into at least half that. I wasted about a month reading them and do not feel smarter for doing so!

To Say Something or Not
In the past I have worked in the positions are really the catch all to the terrible jobs that no one wants to do. This job that I currently have is no different. I am assigned jobs that no one wants to do but everyone has an opinion about. It is so frustrating to go through all this work and be told to do it and then people get involved and change things. What is more frustrating is to not be told that things are being changed. In the three months that I have worked here it has happened in almost ever project that I have done. Do they really think that it is fine to go behind my back and do this? So...I am struggling with standing up for myself and saying that it is disrespectful and rude to do this or to sit by and allow it to happen time and time again. This was one of the big issues that I had at my previous job and I was so miserable there. I do not care at all about this company but still would like to stand up for myself. What to do?

Karma bite you in the ass!
I have these neighbors who have been nothing but terrible. So terrible that I am afraid that they will poison my dog. So it all started when we moved in and were hooking up cable. The cable guy unhooked their cable because it was on our side of the fence. Well they got all worked up and called the police. Like they do not have anything better to do than worry about someones cable being unhooked for two seconds. What ever!
Anyway so we are moving into a new place. We called to change over the gas to our new house and they came to turn off our gas at our old place. We came back over last night at 10:30 and they are standing on out side of the house with a person from the gas company. Apparently, the gas company shut off both of the units. They were so angry about it that they would not even answer us when we asked what was happening. Ha Ha. I think that they deserve what they get!

So Much Happening
It always seems like everything happens all at once. I get a new job and we move. Life goes for so long being calm and peaceful and then suddenly I have a million things to do all at the same time. I spent the weekend painting and getting thing ready to move our stuff in. I am excited to be moving there. It is nice because we are making the inside look like it is a brand new house full of our style. Well almost...I would have definitely gone for some more funky colors as accents but it is not our home and we will do what we can to add our style into the house.
I also just got a new job and am starting at the beginning of next week so between moving and the stress of starting at a new place I am exhausted. But the end result will be well worth the stress and busyness.

Weekends
I love weekends so much, they are my favorite time of my life. Friday night we are usually completely selfish. We stay at home and watch a movie eat dinner and drink wine. We sit outside in our back yard and play chess or just go for walks. Nothing is better to start off a weekend as time just for yourself.
Every morning the first thing that comes into my head is coffee. I love coffee and live on coffee. It is pathetic I know but oh well. So Saturday morning we wake up take a little walk, with Maddie, to get coffee Enjoy our latte on the way home taking new routes around the neighborhoods and end up at home. We go to church eat lunch with the family and then go out.
Sunday is breakfast at one of our favorite spots. We always take our time and maybe go to Barnes and Noble to check out books and magazines. Then Rith goes to work and I have the afternoon to my self. I love that time too. It is full of cleaning, laundry, laying in the sun, and being lazy. About five the depression hits me that it is all over and I have to go back to work again...but then I will have another weekend after five short days of work.

Hot Tomato Red and a Lot of Money Continued
I now have blisters all over my stomach! Four days later. I feel like I have some crazy skin disease and may soon have cancer.
Hot Tomato Red and a Lot of Money
We went to LA for a long weekend...
Here are the pros (because i try to be an optimist)
1. I met new cousins and they were fun.
2. We went to the beach.
3. The air was clear and temperature was warm.
The Con's
1. Expensive! Driving, Vegas, coffee all the time.
2. We sat at the adult table...We could only just see our other cousins having fun.
3. Long trip home.
4.Oh and my stomach is bright red! I have never been so burnt.
