Well the election is FINALLY over. We won't have to hear anymore campaigning for about 10 more months. Then they will start in on 2012.
Congrats to Obama. Although he wasn't my first choice he was the one I voted for. I think everyone in the country is ready for some change. We have no idea what the future holds for us but I think we all agree that something needs to change. I think either way the election went we would have had change. All I know is that this country can't continue in the direction it has been going for the last 8 years.
I didn't agree with McCain on most of the main issues but I do respect him as a person and for what he has gone through for our country. I think he shot himself in the foot when he chose Sarah Palin as a running mate. She is an idiot and I would have been scared to death if she had any more power than she has right now. I think she is really shady. If you do research on her there are many obvious red flags. I'm very happy that she won't do for the United States what she has done for Alaska.
I think it is important for the American people to support the president even if it isn't the person they voted for. I haven't agreed with anything George Bush has done but I've (tried to) always respect him as our president.
Congrats to Obama and Biden.

Never paint your boobs. I'm never gonna paint my boobs again. It's not worth it.
(I didn't paint my boobs. It was a quote from The Girls Next Door. I just want to get that straight)
So my grandpas wife passed away about a month ago. That has left me, my sister and my dad to clean out the house that has had stuff crammed in it for the past 50 years. I had no idea that one house could have so much shit shoved in every nook and cranny. We found canceled checks from 1941. We even found a christmas card from 1918. No lie. My grandparents owned a hardware store for 30 years and they kept every receipt and every piece of paper that ever went through that store. It is just ridic. It's been very interesting though. We found a TV from 1952 and an old phonograph machine that still works.
For the past month my days have been consumed by that house. I feel like every waking moment that I'm not at work I'm out there. We are getting really close to being done though. I painted for 20 hours last week. I had no idea their living room was so big. I spent 10 hours just on that room. It looks so much better though so it's worth every ache and pain.
Sunday we had a get together out there. We did a little garage sale without the sale part. It was more of a give away. We invited the rest of the family and some friends out to go through all of the stuff we don't want so we had less to give to goodwill. I'm shocked that there wasnt enough stuff for an auction or something like that but the stuff that is left isn't worth a garage sale. I figure if we can't give it away nobody is going to buy it.
We did find some really fun things out there. Like every pair of glasses they ever owned.
Example A

Example C
Example D
We also found some fun hats

My favorite thing that we came across was this lovely Owl Costume. I know you are jealous. It's ok. Green looks good on you.
That is what I have for you this time. Enjoy!

Riiiiiight. Uh huh. I believe it. NOT!!!!
Nicole Kidman credits fertile water with pregnancy
Sept. 23, 2008, 9:46 PM EST
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman said swimming in Australian Outback "fertility waters" during production of her latest film may have contributed to her unexpected pregnancy over the past year.
The 41-year-old Aussie, who gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose in July, said she and six other women who swam in the waters of a small Outback town during production of the epic romance "Australia" fell pregnant.
"I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child, but it happened on this movie," Kidman told The Australian Women's Weekly in an exclusive interview for the magazine's 75th anniversary edition, released Wednesday.
.....................................................................
She fell pregnant? How does that happen? Did she trip over a pile of sperm and somehow it made it's way to her egg?
"I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child, but it happened on this movie," WTF???? What did she think she was going to give birth to? When someone gets pregnant it USUALLY results in a child. I've never seen a human give birth to a kangaroo. Honestly though, I don't think she was pregnant. I think she faked it and someone else had her baby for her. I think she used a fake belly. Hey Kidman, if you believe in fertility waters I've got a gallon jug from the fountain of youth I'll sell ya. It's full of botox and collogen. Oh wait, she already has plenty of that.

I know how to pick 'em
My 6th grade boyfriend is currently in jail complete with a neck tattoo and a $50,000 bond for intent to deliver Meth. I guess he wasn't going to sell it because he didn't get busted for a tax stamp. I didn't really like him. I was forced to be his "girlfriend" by my friends. It lasted all of maybe 3 weeks but we did smooch. Just a few pecks. No tonsil hockey with him. It was pretty much true love. I wonder where that relationship went wrong? Another boy that liked me around that same time went to jail for shooting someone or trying to shoot someone. I'm not sure which one. I really knew how to attract the winners, didn't I?
DWTS
I'm sitting here watching The View and I just saw a commercial for the new season of Dancing with the Stars. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. It was all the guys dancing to Right Said Fred's "I'm too sexy". I'm going to say right now that I don't think any of those men are sexy. I think they are all very creepy. They look like they should be all greased up and in a calendar. You know what I'm talking about. Those calendars that are full of creepy greased up men wearing g-strings and posing in uncomfortable positions but it doesn't matter if they are uncomfortable because that position makes their muscles look just right. I'm going to go as far as saying that in most of those calendars 11 out of 12 months those men have the creepiest faces I've ever seen. I guess their face isn't what most people are looking at though. In my opinion there hasn't been a sexy male dancer since Johnny Castle. Just sayin, if there were a 12 month calendar of Patrick Swayze I know who would have one. My friend Jenny. I would buy her one for xmas. That is a good idea. Maybe I'll make her one. I think her ancestors were from Swayzesgay, Georgia. Inside joke. The funny part is she doesn't even read this so I'm just writing it to make myself laugh. HA!

sleepless nights
It's shortly after 1 am and I can't sleep. 12 hours ago my brothers were having their Surprise 50th birthday party that I wasn't invited to. Oh wait, yes I was. Only after my dad called one of their wives to bring it to her attention that I hadn't been invited. I finally got my invitation in the mail less than 48 hours before the party. Family shouldn't be an afterthought.
I don't have the kind of job where I can just leave early for a birthday party with short notice. I wasn't able to go to the party. If I would have known about the party a week ago I could have gone. You have no idea how much that hurt me. NO IDEA. I was the only one that wasn't there. There were family members from Texas that made the trip for this party. There was a cousin there that I hadn't seen in 13 years that I didn't get to see because I DIDN'T GET AN INVITATION on time. I shouldn't have to beg for an invitation to my own brothers' party. Hell, my dad's ex wife and her family were even invited. I saw pictures and video of the party. Looked fun, wish I could have made it.
As if I wasn't in enough pain from not being able to attend I got another whammy. Nobody stuck up for me at the party. I was told that the boys would know that I wanted to be there but since I had to beg for an invitation at the last minute I wasn't able to attend. That messege didn't get relayed. I was let down today. I've had so many emotions tonight. I've felt hurt, let down, disappointed, anger, RAGE, regret, left out, etc.
I've cried so much tonight that my eyes hurt. They are swollen. All I want to do is go to sleep but I can't. I have so many thoughts running through my head that I can't relax enough to go to sleep. I can't remember the last time I cried for this many hours in one night. The hardest part is being let down by someone that I didn't think would do that to me. I'm supposed to understand why my messege wasn't delivered but I can't. I just asked one simple thing. Please let them know why I wasn't there. Let them know that it wasn't my fault. That didn't happen. I look like the asshole. I look like I don't care enough to get time off work for my brothers birthday. I'm hurt but the hardest part is the feeling of disappoinment.
