judge

how do you know how to judge people. even after you have known them for a year or two or your lifetime, they still do the unpredictable. How is it that you can figure out who is good and who is bad? Please help me with this one.

thanks

Well, I have to say that I used to blame my mom for a terrible childhood. I did not have a terrible childhood in any way shape or form. In fact, I think my parents were incredible. I surely did give them hell, didn't think they knew anything, resented the fact that they wouldn't let me watch TV like all my friends, but SO WHAT!!!! What I did not understand is that they were grounding me. They grounded me in two ways..... faith and family. Because of them (you), I now have a solid faith in God. I have grown over the years to realize that most of what my parents told me was right, even if I didn't want to believe it at the time. They were definitely not perfect, but they did their absolute best, and that must have taken sooooo much patience. Raising 5 completely children must have been extremely difficult. Making sure that we are all good people had to be even harder. The patience and effort it took is unbelieveable. They also instilled in me an important sense of family. Strict 6:00 family dinners, fights with brothers and sisters, unconditional love, the fact that I knew they would always be there. I can't even put into words the things that they have done for me and my brothers and sisters. They have put up with so much crap, and yet remain sane and standing. Mom and Dad, I am in awe of you today. I love you both so much. You really have no idea how much I really appreciate you. I'm just sorry it took me so long to figure that out. I have definitely learned from my mistakes, but I have learned so much from you as well. I have so much respect for you. I love you so much. Thank you again. I am the luckiest oldest daughter in the world from any family ever.

Whatever 2

I know that no one will probably read this, but I have to say it anyways. I am trying to be the better person about my living situation, but it is really hard. Paul tells me that I need everything to be fair, so this is killing me that it is not fair, but I am going to try something new and just let it go. My mom told me when I was little that part of being a Christian is being used. Maybe this is what she was talking about. I am paying for someone else to live in my house, and I do not appreciate it, but seeing as the other side sees it not as their place of residence, I am going to just suck it up for the rest of the lease which is only a month and smile. I'm not sure how, but this is an opportunity for me to make my self better. At least I am practicing being patient. SSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH It will be alright, em. This shit really bothers me, though. What do they tell us at church? LET GO AND LET GOD!!!!! Okay, God, take over. I give up!!!!!

this is not joe

So I read this political article today. After watching the Hillary Clinton speech where she finally gave it up, there were some things about her that I admired. First of all, she endorsed Barak Obama without blinking an eye. Now she may not have been whole-heartedly happy, but she was committed to serving the American people, or so she said. She also said that she really wanted what is best for the democratic party. She kept talking about how the party was united and she would do whatever the party asked, and whatever Barak asked, seeing as he was the head of the party now. Governor Ted Strickland, of Ohio I think, also a Hillary supporter had the following comments to make about serving as vice president, "Absolutely not. If drafted I will not run, nominated I will not accept and if elected I will not serve. So, I don’t know how more crystal clear I can be."

Obviously he is not willing to do whatever it takes for the democratic party.

Here is a link to the article, but it is not that interesting. I just want to see if I can insert a hyperlink correctly.

i need a job

Yes, i thought it would be gravy just to sit around and chill all summer, but it is not. The pool was great the last few days, but it is time to get something productive done. I will somehow find a way to make some extra cash this summer. We will see what is up, but it will be non-traditional. I am not getting a regular job. I am trying to travel still. Costa Rica is coming!!!!!!

Yes, my summer is great!!!!

Summer

I just wanted to tell everyone that I am enjoying my summer. Although things may not necessarily be going according to the prescribed plan, nothing ever does, and that is great. I have no job, and that feels great. Costa Rica is a few months away, I get to chill with my boy again, and my tan is starting to look good. Right now, I couldn't be happier!!!!! Thanks, baby!!!!

She's back!!!

I got my cat back!!!!!! My roomate heard her outside, and sure enough, she was back. Jodee said he saw her in the upstairs window of the apartment across the way, but who knows. I am just so glad to have my baby back!!! I don't have to sleep by myself anymore :) Maybe one of these days I'll get a man, but until then, I am very content to be the cat lady. I'm still a cute cat lady :) Costa Rica is coming up. You guys better start getting your passports so you can come see me. I don't think I'm gonna come back EVER AGAIN!!! $#^# gas prices. I'm out.
