I haven't felt like writing. My heart hasn't been in it for a while. I've had so much happen. My nephew passed away, my husband almost cheated on me, my mother-in-law passed away and life goes on.
I've felt like I've told it all. I have no more story to give and nothing else to say. I admit, Facebook almost makes it that way.

I can't and won't conform to any societal "norm." I'm not pleased with government, I don't agree with medicating the world, and I'm not down with the religious people.

Reedited blog post from September 11, 2008
It was a morning like any other. I woke at 5:00 AM to get ready for work. I was a manager at Burger King and needed to travel away from my home store because the franchise I worked for opened a store that didn't have enough crew. They depended on crew from other stores.

I am the person standing in the middle. I wasn't fond of pickle-in-the-middle as a child and some things never change. I am still the pickle.

Each funeral has given me a different view on life. The first one I attended was at the age of six. My great uncle had passed away. I didn't know uncle Joe. I never met the guy but I heard that he was just like my dad. Simply put he was not a nice guy at the time I didn't understand that.

If John Edwards were to run today, I still would not vote for him to run my country. Why? He did not stand by his sick wife. That is a key thing for me. If you can't stand by your wife why would I want you to stand by America.

I think we have social media to thank for that. Sadly, bullies are the focus because someone died most likely due to the depression placed on the victim. I am incredibly happy, that after all these years, that people now know about bullies.

Parents who have children who do not suffer are pickiting stating that their own children's rights are being violated. Let's really evaluate this. Every kid loves peanut butter and jelly.

First, let me explain, I recall being in third grade. I sat in class with my brown hair and brown eyes. I had a teacher with blond hair and blue eyes.

She has a wart on her elbow that just won't go away no matter what we do. Some warts can become cancerous if not treated. With this in mind, my daughter's doctor referred her to a dermatologist. It was finally going to be removed and I was happy that I would not have to worry about it any longer.

Season of The Witch was an awesome movie. My warning: It's not for fundamental Christians (the ones who say Harry Potter is a sin) or small children. There is mild language and a lot of violence. This movie stars Nicholas Cage and Ron Perlman. I do have to say Nicholas Cage has come a long way.

I had a dream and in this dream all I saw was black and a bunch of cars. A few weeks later my great grandfather passed away. I sat in my second grade class, chills ran down my spine, I recognized each one of the kids in my class. I don't know how or why but I;m sure, I've never seen them before.

Eight almost nine years ago I was twenty- seven a week from turning twenty- eight. I did something I had never done before. I had a lot of pain and regret based on that day. Before I tell you about this day, I need to explain a few things about me.

I think most people think of Christmas in a manner that makes them annoyed. I know my husband has been annoyed by "Tis' The Season Cheer." I think I've finally made him understand what Christmas means to me. You see, Christmas was the only time I could pretend my family was normal.

I've read articles from people, probably not American, stating we don't truly have poverty here. That simply isn't true. Just recently a man was found near a popular shopping center in my region. He froze to death, he was homeless. He had no home to go to and I'm more than sure he stood at the corner of the lot stating he will work for food and shelter and I am equally sure he was snubbed Shirleynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227028174272807957.post-51498033950671974792010-12-06T07:10:00.000-08:002010-12-06T07:10:21.543-08:00My Thoughts Always: We're In LoveI've questioned weather I should post something so personal.

If you're having an ugly day, he tells you you're beautiful and it's not just me he does this with. This is something I've warned him about. He is a really great guy but I've already seen warning signs and I'm not going to stand by and do nothing.
