Apparently today I have a few things that are annoying me.
Here they are in list form:
1. My number one pet peeve of the day it people's overuse of commas. It is NOT rocket science people, this is basic elementary English. When in doubt about proper comma placement rethink your sentence.
2. My husband keeps asking so many questions but he does not care enough to listen to the answer.
3. For some reason Brewski (dog number 3 of 6) thinks it's really cool to look out the window. It doesn't matter to him if the blinds are down or not. He will remove them.....with his claws....
4. Taxes. Enough said.
5. Money. Again, enough said.
6. It never matters how much or how often I clean my house, two hours later it's a disaster.
There are more but I think it's time that I just go to bed.
Until tomorrow.........

Negative Nancy's and Debbie Downer's
I can't help but wonder and worry about some of the people closest to me. They have filled themselves and their lives with so much negativity, self doubt, and hardened hearts. They no longer see the need to hold themselves accountable for all of the things in their lives.
It makes me sick to hear the continuing "I have no friends. I hate my life. So-and-so did X,Y, and Z and yada yada yada. It's not fair. But, he doesn't have to so why should I?". So what? Shit happens! Bad things happen! Bad things happen to good people every single day of the week and guess what, we pick ourselves up and carry on. Just because bad things happen to you does not mean that the world stops turning. The sun will still rise and birds will still sing. You still have oxygen flowing in to your lungs and you are ALIVE, dammit, so keep living! This does not warrant the sending of invitations to a pity party that none of us are going to be attending.
I just want to walk up to them and shake them and make them know they do not need to be this way. Why did they have to let the world make them hard? They are so young! This is not fair to them or the people around them who care about them and only wish the best for them. The people I am referring to have such amazing lives, they are blessed beyond measure and are more fortunate than most people I know....why can't they see it?? God has given them everything they could ever need in life and it still seems to be not enough to make them happy. Some could call them "spoiled", some could say they were given a silver spoon, but I choose to say they have an amazing family who has done nothing but love and support them from the day they were born.
They are absolutely beautiful people. I don't exaggerate when I say that I would kill to look the way that these people do. She is skinny and blonde and drop dead gorgeous. Long legs and ripped arms. Defined abs and perfect shaped features. Her blue eyes sparkle in the sun and her hair shines for days! She makes me laugh in a way that strengthens my soul and rebuilds my spirit. There is not one thing about this girl that does not take my breath away every time I see her. He is tall. Muscular and defined jaw. His voice is loud and booming and commands respect and attention that he deserves. A face so handsome that makes girls swoon. His brain is filled with the knowledge that only a person can dream of having. Spending time with him rejuvenates every fiber of my being
How do I help?! It's almost to the point that I almost want to say, "Get over yourself! Only YOU can change anything and make things better. YOU choose to continue to be negative. YOU make your choices. YOU need to change yourself!", but I don't want to turn my back on them.
I am terrified beyond all reason that one day something really bad will happen in their lives and they are going to spiral out of control and feel completely lost. I have tried to help them to the point of making myself be in that negative place. I think the reason that I am having such a difficult time with understanding their negativity is because I have had so many truly bad things happen in my life that they would have no idea how to handle.
Does that make me the negative one?

The beginning
Well, here goes nothing! I have never been a blogger and I have never felt like I have been able to fully express my views and opinions on the way the world works in my eyes. First and foremost, I am super opinionated, inquisitive, anxious, negative and positive, and sometimes a little needy. I am the friend who gives with my whole heart but always feels like it is never good enough. I am the girl who sends a text message and expects a reply within a short time. I am the person who never feels like anything is going my way. There are a lot of sentences so far that start with "I", but dammit this is my blog and if you don't want to hear/read what I have to say then go somewhere else. I have so much to say and no time to say it tonight so I will continue tomorrow. Until them, say your prayers and hold on tight because this could be a wild ride! :)
