Getting to know me

-
I realize that most of my readers will be people who already know me. But in the case that you ended up here, and you have no idea who I am I thought it would be nice to kind of let you know who you are dealing with here.

For future reference My husbands name is Steve, and we have 5 kids. Josh(17), Kayla(11), Christa(11),they are step sisters- not twins, Lydia(5), and Abby (2).

As soon as I say I'm going to sit here and write about myself my mind goes blank. Interesting... Ok well I guess I will start off listing a few things that I LOVE. That will get me started. There are the obvious things. My children, my husband, my family, etc. But I think I will get a little more specific, and also a little more personal.I Love...

the way Abby says "sorry"
Lydia's imagination
the feeling of playdough
raw cookie dough
calla lilies
my husbands arms
watching movies
kaylas laugh
that christa and I have connected over books
Josh's personality (except the lazy part)
When abby jumps with both feet
Sleep
prime rib with horseradish
scallops and crab and salmon
soda
brushing my teeth
tinkerbell
babies -especially newborn
weddings
books
when I get a "taste for something" and I can actually taste it in my mouth
touching my hair when it's straight (it's naturally curly)
my grandma's house and her attitude
writing on paper with a ballpoint pen
Whiteboards
purple pens
my wedding ring
disneyland
sticking my hands into large containers holding lots of tiny smooth things. like a barrel of dry rice or beans, or a can of buckshot
chopping chocolate
Pictures
finding a good song
music and movies that remind me of high school

I think that's a good start. Maybe tomorrow I wil post about things I don't like so much.

Tomorrow I go back to school. I am going to school to become a dental assistant. It is going to be hard getting back into the routine of waking up at 6am again, but I did pretty well when I first started. I'm going to do my best to remember to post here, but I know myself, and the newness will wear off and I will just forget about it. If you are a facebook friend, and notice I haven't posted here in a while, remind me. I would really like to keep this up and see what comes out of it.

Todays anxiety is about a 4, and depression level is probably a 7. still being sick isn't helping. Todays weight is 147lbs.

Have a Good Day!

-
Earlier this week I went to pump gas and all I had was cash so I had to go into the store to pay. The young man behind the counter was polite and the transaction was quick. Because I was fresh from work I ended the short conversation by saying "Have a good day!" in my best customer service voice and his response was "Alright." It struck me as odd, mostly because his inflection was of someone being given directions and agreeing to follow them in a half hearted and resigned way. Maybe no one else told him to have a good day so he hadn't thought about it, and then he felt like he should just because I told him to with such enthusiasm. Does it make your day in any way if someone tells you, "Have a good day!" Is it an annoyance, or do you even notice those little polite sayings when you are busily running through your day?

HOLLYWOOD - The American Nightmare

I have so much to say, I hope I can organize my thoughts here into something that makes a little bit of sense. Keep in mind this is not a news blog, this is an opinion blog. So, what I have to say is based on what I have heard, and how it has made me feel. For me this storm of debauchery began with the #metoo campaign. Watching all of the women I know pour out their experiences to support each other and put it out there that we are not alone. I appreciate all of you in your bravery and openness. The many allegations against Harvey Weinstein became the focus shortly after that, letting us know that even celebrities are not exempt from the shit we all have to go through as women. We also saw that it takes a lot of women standing together to be taken seriously and if you are not the "right type" of woman, you might as well keep it to yourself until someone more reputable shines a light on the asshole who hurt you. The Courtney Loves and Rose McGowans of the industry were not

A Book Review: The Rules of Magic, by Alice Hoffman

I picked up this audio book because it was Reese Witherspoon's Book Club selection for the month. I didn't realize it was a prequel to Practical Magic until I was ready to click "order," and I could not have been more excited to read it. I LOVE that movie. So much so that I had everyone in my wedding walk out to a song from the soundtrack for that movie. I love that my niece is named Jillian because of that movie. (I mean I love it because of that, not that she was named that because of the movie....or was she? little Jillybean!) That movie was where I discovered Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks.. Talk about a great soundtrack! All of this to say, I was thrilled about this book. Practical Magic follows the lives of Gillian and Sally Owens and The Rules of Magic gives us more Owens family history with a look into the early lives of the Aunts that raise Gillian and Sally after their parents fall victim to the Owens curse. Most of this review is based on the assumpti
