Through Enough

Back in September of last year I wrote a journal entry about a little boy in the tri-state area who had been murdered by the people that he trusted to love him. My Dad showed me this cartoon in the paper this past Sunday, and I thought I would share it. It is so beautiful to me.

Sweeps

I was reading a top ten list today of people that this blogger wouldn't mind being seen killed off in sweeps week, and it asked for comments of our own top ten list.
Since I have been lacking in my top ten list, and since they are never really complete, I thought I would add mine to this blog.

10. Meredith Grey needs to die in this weeks episode of Grey's Anatomy






9. Jenny Schecter b/c who doesn't want a little less Jenny on the L Word









8. Susan Meyer yeah, b/c i am just so tired of her character on Desperate Housewives









7. Desmond from Lost b/c he just confuses me.








6. Elliot Reed she is soooo annoying on Scrubs, and since I think I heard that the show is going to end, they might as well....










5. Donald Trump from the apprentice (though I don't watch it) wouldn't it be great if he were "fired"









4. The Entire Cast of ER Because the show just sucks anymore








3. Walter Ugly Betty's on again off again boyfriend, b/c he cheated on her...I wouldn't miss him







2. so my last two are from the L word as well.... Tina and







1. Kit
I just don't think they bring much to the show...keep in mind I so miss the original owner of the planet....she was GORGEOUS so I am biased...also, Tina just doesn't really bring anything to the show.....just don't like her. Maybe they could all be in a nasty car wreck together.......

40 years old

Today Feb 20th would've been Kurt Cobain's 40th birthday. How very very sad.
Neat that he will always be 27 to us though.
I wasn't a huge nirvana fan...but was nonetheless saddened to hear of his death.

50 Years Old?

Awww...I didn't know that I had never lived in a world with out "The Cat in The Hat"! Click to wish a Happy 50th Birthday!

I'm a Humanitarian

Do you know how you re-tell story and it is never as funny as when it actually happened? Well that will probably be the case here.
I lived a pretty sheltered life growing up. I grew up in a small town where everyone knew everybody else and I went to an even smaller Catholic Highschool. It was so small that there were only 22 in my graduating class. When I learned to drive my brother (Matt) and I would love to go around together. Matt and I were never trouble makers but we did do stuff like drive around and steal people's campaign signs out of their yards...for some reason we thought this was hysterical. We had a mutual friend who would hang them all over his walls in his bedroom.
We would also save up all our lunch money that Mom and Dad had given us for the week and go and get a Strawberry Shake from Hardee's after school. What rebels we were. One day we were driving over the river to Cincinnati (to probably pick up my dad from work downtown). I had some extra change from our milkshake purchase in the dash board. I saw a man standing at the end of the bridge at a light. He had a sign that said "Will Work For Food". I immediately felt my heart break for him. I thought it was so sad. How humiliating that must be to have to stand there w/ a cardboard sign begging to work just so you could have something to eat. We were sitting at the light, and I said to Matt that we should give him our extra change. I was also very fearful of the poor man. I grabbed the change, opened the window just a crack and threw the change to the man. It scattered all over the street. The poor little guy was scrambling for the change and waving up at as saying God Bless You, Thank you So much...I gave a quick wave and drove on. To this Day my brother makes fun of me saying..."I'LL MAKE YOU WORK FOR YOUR FOOD". I doubt that I will ever live this down. I was watching a show that on Comedy Central and it reminded me so much of my giving nature.

So, did it come across as funny as it is when Matt makes fun of me for it?

crazy ladies

Wonder if any of you know that I have a strange fascination with

I am not sure why. Maybe because I was told they were lucky. But they are cute little creatures. I have loved them as far back as I can remember. I used to love to watch this little short on Sesame Street and sing along.


I have a tattoo of a ladybug....and I think she has brought me good luck since I got her.

Ellen and Gladys

Check out this clip from Ellen. It is a litte long, but I have not laughed so hard in FOREVER!

Being a Mom is TOUGH

Carly called me to let me know that after I deleted her myspace account her friend had created her a new one and that she gets on it while she is at her Dad's every other weekend. I couldn't believe it. I had to delete her first one b/c , now get this, an 11 yr. old from her class was leaving messages like you are a SLUT and a Whore.....what the fuck???? They are 11!
Anyway she called to say that her dad saw her getting on and she lied to him and told him that it was her friends' account. He wanted her to pull it up for him and she told him it was her friend's and she didn't know the password. He's not too bright, which I assume is why he didn't say, well just pull it up for me the way you just had it up....oh well. She called to beg me to delete it before her dad saw it again. She said that she knew what she was doing was wrong b/c she was shaking so bad when she signed on.......
It's so hard to punish her b/c I feel as if I have done enough damage to her. She has been w/o a mom that is there for all the school functions...a mom that she had to wear a mask to be around, a mom that to just be able to look at while talking to she had to stand in the window on the porch looking in as I sat on the other side looking out -me on the phone her on a cell, a mom that she had to visit in a hospital.....A mom as far back as her mind can reach has always been sick.
