Last week sometime, my mom was super excited because she found a great deal on mayonnaise. 7 bucks for the big jar. You know the kind of jar you buy because you have been asked to make potato salad for 200 people? That jar. But it's Best Foods and she was pretty disgusted with herself last time because she picked up a different brand made with Canola Oil.
"it's not real mayonnaise. Why make it if it's gonna be stupid mayonnaise? They probably make mayonnaise with olive oil now and I bet that's stupid, too."



Man, I love my mom.

something new

(PVT): I got an ipod today! My first. Are you wondering? Who are the artists who made my very first playlist?

The O'Jays
Four Tops
Diana Ross and the Supremes
Don Henley
The Eagles
Boston
Annie Lennox
Earth Wind and Fire (no surprise)
Deniece Williams and Johnny Mathis
John Denver
Al Green
Bryan Adams
C & C Music Factory
James Taylor
Tupac

yeah say somethin! The best part about an ipod is the "i". So selfish, but I don't care. I put John Denver on my playlist because I could; just in case some teenager gets ahold of my ipod, I want him know....it's my ipod! Wow, kinda bitter....

I honestly didn't know I was gonna dig this so much but there's something about listening to the music of your soul. A soul seems to have its own music...its own playlist. I love that.

Taken for Granted

(F): We are all guilty of this... taking loved ones, successful careers, or even life itself, all for granted. Well, perhaps not all of us, but I speak solely for myself. I've been intending to participate in oddball vortex to keep in touch with you all, but I've allowed myself to get caught up in "stuff". I've always been one to take things, people, and situations for granted, but the realization of it didn't hit me hard until I was stripped of everything that I ever knew and loved. It was when I was saying my farewells for my departure to Texas when the sensation crept upon me. I finally realize now how selfish I've always been, especially towards the ones that I love. It all started even before I left home the first time. It was in disgrace, and caused hurt to my family. Over the course of the last 12+ years, this viscious cycle I continued to exhibit taking all that I love "for granted." It was so easy to allow myself to put off in facing the truth, all the hurt and betrayal, at a later time. (Yes Fa'ana, I suffer from situational procrastination syndrome) But in the end result, I realize that I've not only hurt those that love me, but myself as well. I have failed to show my loved ones the deep love that I have for them that is burrowed so deep in my heart. Although I was absent alot in the last decade and then some, my heart quietly ached for them. It was all the shame that overwhelmed me, so I continued to live in the dark. I hurt myself by missing out on all my sisters and brothers growing up into young adults, missing out on my parents blooming into their middle ages, and mostly, my eldest born developing into this wonderful boy that he is. I have failed my family and am guilty of taking them for granted. Perhaps it took this much, to be far away from you all, to realize that I have the best. God has been good to us all by blessing us abundantly with loving, generous, forgiving characters--POWER!

Sorry!

Hey everybody! I finally made it, but I've posted in the wrong place, so check out the new blog and I'll hope to get it in the right place next time. I love you all ladies!

I feel bad

(LT): Why do I do the things I do?
For instance:
Why do I just get up in the middle of watching a show/movie with people I love (sisters, nieces and nephews) who I rarely spend time with and go off to my room? i try and slip away like they will not miss me and go to my room...

Why? My friend says I am a 'now you see 'em, now you don't' person, which I guess means that there are those times when i just want to 'peace out'. i love my nieces and nephews cuz they don't trip really....but it is beginning to bug me that I would rather go to my room and sleep when my time with my nieces and nephews is very limited. I suck...and I feel bad.

Speaking of feeling bad, when in the heck does God really release a person from guilt? I feel bad about things i can't control...like the way people think of me. I have this probably unhealthy need to make things right...a fine line between what is reconciliation and what is an obsession with wanting people to like me.

What other things do I feel bad about?
for instance....not blogging. So my niece calls me out for not blogging. Just two people have really blogged...the others of us have been slacking - like we have other things to do...not.

What else? I actually liked Sex and the City.

What else? Not working out with my trainer for a week.

What else? Not reading or praying like i should be.

What else? Flunking one of the students in a class I taught. He actually deserved it but I feel bad.

What else? Being out of shape...

What else? Not being a better friend to people.

There's more...but iwill stop before I start feeling bad about all the things I feel bad about.
I am 46. There's so much crap God has to keep working on in me --- what exactly does a transformed life look like? And how long does it take?

And I think that I could appreciate complete transformation without going through the pain of the process....how bout one of them "immediate" miracles? That would be excellent.

And lastly, I feel bad when I question God's ways...

Kellerman!!!

(KF): Okay, so my new show... Prison Break... Let's just say that this show has completely caused me minor heart murmurs and anxiety attacks!!! But I need to talk a little bit about a man named Paul Kellerman.

Now, Paul... let's just say that he has had a rough life. In his early life, he lived a rough life with his sister (who he loves very much) =) He then became a man who worked for the Vice President of the US who was a twisted psycho BIATCH!!! lol...hahaha!!! But man, Paul has been killing people left and right this entire show!!! I have to be honest with you though, I have to give him some props. He has been seriously smackin' the shit outtah some of these characters!!! (So, as you know now, he 's obviously a bad guy)

You might be wondering why I am talking about a killer dude. Just recently, he has totally joined forces with the good guys to (quote) "The President screwed your lives up she screwed mine too! If you want that bitch to go down, then you have to come with me... NOW!!!" this guy is completely hood gauranteed!!!

Anyway, so this whole show, he has been ruining people's lives ex: Lincoln Burrows, Sarah Tancretty, LJ Burrows... the works. But again, he has just testified against the President and "The Company" and now he is like... MY FAV!!! I'm pretty sure that I love me a killer man now!!! =)

Hahahahaha!!!
