April 19th

Day three of trivia 40! Another shower and another pumped up day to be had. Now as I said before my cap’n sent me a care box with goodies in it. Some of these items I never ate before… I mean I’m not a huge Gummy person but I ate Gummy hotdogs, hamburgers, sodas and French fires oh yes and a pizza.. lol it wasn’t to bad for taste either ^_^ Anyways when I woke up our team was on fire and for hours we maintained 2nd place! That’s right 2nd place in the whole contest. Last year our final finish was 5th and that was the best we ever did and now were in 2nd! The question and the night went on finally it was hour 54 and we answered the final questions and got it right! It was now time… that awful painstakingly nerve racking time waiting to get “the Call” Once the call was in that we did make it someplace in the top 10 and to head to 90fm station for the ceremony the team headed there and those of us online listened to it. The suspense was killing me… place by place the Oz called the top 10 team, speech by speech the teams were weeded out.. till only two remained… Network and Dads Computers! We took 2nd place!!!! Only 5 points were between 2nd and 3rd place YIKES!

Well I’m not sure how much sleep ill get with all this excitement but, heres to trying

Hello Beautiful

How times have changed and how things that once were OK are not and no longer carry the same feeling or intent.  When you think of the word “woman” and do you automatically think bitch or hussy, baggage or bit? According to various traditional dictionaries, synonyms for “woman”, which came as a bit of a shock, and possibly more insightful on why certain generations use words such as these to describe a woman. Today at my place of work a gentleman came up to my counter and said "Hello Beautiful" to me. Now, this customer does come in several times a week and is not a total stranger when I'm at work but still. He is in his 50-60s he works either in construction or as a big rig driver, not that any of this is very relevant but it is a generational thing I have noticed amongst folks that speak like that. "'Hello, gorgeous'; 'hi, honey bun or sweetheart, can you get me a coffee?' No man would ever be called sweetheart, ever, in the workplace," T...

Rock, Paper, Control

The feeling of no control. No control over my mental health, my weight, or my physical health. I like to have things planned and organized because that give me some control in my life. I feel though, like those little things are just pieces of paper with a rock on them on a windy day, soon they to will be out of my control. I once had control over my health and weight, but that was nearly 14 yrs ago. Each year I advance in age I loose more and more control over those two things. No Dr. or specialist seem to know why. Back when I had control, my weight would fluctuate but nothing substantial. I was a ball of anxiety and stress back then as well, so nothing there changed. I was more active in those days, doing all the things all the time. Not sure if that was to hide from my brain weasels or having to go home and be around my mother. In college I had around 4 to 5 part time jobs, 16 to 18 credits a semester, homework for both art and academic classes, a significant other, a flourishing g...
