For the first time in my ENTIRE life... I am proud of the man who stand President over these United States...

Just... proud.

(no, I do not CARE if it's a political and/or calculated maneuver... PROUD.

I don't... LIKE... 'poor me' posts - so I haven't posted in awhile - things aren't going very well for me, myself.

This, however, I really REALLY need to rant about - if I keep it in any longer I will quite literally go insane...

Yesterday... some sub-human-needs-to-die-worthless-SCUM abandoned a 4 month old puppy. Male Corgie mix, very healthy, completely adorable, out in the middle of nowhere.

The goddess smiled and sent my 100lb belgian shephard to the rescue, he came and got me and INSISTED that I help...

Yesterday.... I assumed that the corgie had slipped his collar and as soon as his owner discovered that he was missing..... heh - not.

Now the poor thing is MY responsibility - but I can't - flat can't - keep him.

I hate people. I really do.

I have a new puppy!!

He's HUGE!!! - A good 100lbs of glorious fluffy shephard (mix... mebbe afghan? he's so SOFT!)

For those annoyed with excessively 'PC' phrases....

Pretty much... my take on the entire issue:

Good Gods, I DO NOT believe how incredibly, deliberately EVIL my mother is!

Lily's birthday is June 2nd, she'll be 18 - we got her (last) birthday card from "Nana" today... and for the first time ever, she just HAD to write a letter to include with it.

Evil, evil evil bitch. She must have spent DAYS coming up with the most painful, hurtful, evil things she could say. Then she probably spent a couple more days editing so they were at their worst and slimiest..

I do NOT BELIEVE that I grew up around anyone that... nasty. - just.... ick.

ah well - NEVER again will I have to deal with her, even second hand! - HEE!

My princess:



My Neice!



I soooo do not believe I'm this old! LOL

Also? - even after all this time, I still can't believe how evil my mom is... Lily graduated on Sunday, 'Manda graduated Wednesday - my mom flew out for a week to 'visit'. She deliberately scheduled her incoming flight to miss Lily's graduation... GAH - NOT, mind you, that she would have been welcome in my house, but she was invited to Lily's graduation, and I would have made shift to at least be polite.

Odds are, not having to deal with her at all was the best of all possible worlds - but she only has two grand-daughters... you'd THINK.....

ANYway...

**sigh** - she's growing up so fast!!

Food for thought... odd thought - but hey...

(this is a DIRECT result of reading Terry Prachett...)

so:

Will you stand up for what you believe in?
YES!!

Will you FIGHT for what you believe in?
YESS!!

Will you DIE for what you believe in?
YES!!

OK - what do you believe in?
Um......

Just a thought.....

**sigh** - I used to LOVE the holidays - I loved to cook, I loved to bake, I loved to buy presents and I LOVED to decorate!!

They were a great reason/excuse to REALLY get everything clean and gorgeous and then I got to unpack the decorations and remember past holidays and just... revel in making everything, absolutely everything... gorgeous and special.

and now I can't. *I* can't. Flat can not do it.

and neither hubby nor child has any interest in doing it right (or, actually, at all..)

**sigh** - ahhh well - merely the latest thing to pare from my life is all. I CAN still cook and bake - given enough lead time, and if hubby goes shopping and actually buys what's on the list. 'Course, that doesn't actually happen TERRIBLY often - but hey

I WAS doing better until the pup mucked up my 'good' knee - 'course, I can no longer feel my toes and the balls of my feet are starting to go - so it's probably not all her fault huh?

mer - I'll deal with it... later... I guess.
