Thanks,

So I noticed I haven't been posting much lately. The usual excuse applies here.  I had so much to do in my regular everyday life that I haven't had the time nor the energy to sit down and write anything worth reading.  Still in class until the first week of May so hopefully this summer I can find something interesting to write about.  I've really just been hanging around playing games on my iPad and reading for classes.  It seems like this year is flying by so fast.  I can't even believe it's already April. I'm trying to figure out what fun things I can do to pass the time this summer if I can't find a job to tide me over.  Definitely planning to try and see my sister and see my best friend.  It's been way too long since I've seen either.  Sometimes you really need that sort of thing to help keep from going insane.  If you live in small town USA like I do (and are a transplant, like I am, from the city) you need to get away once in awhile.  I can't even go to the movies or the mall without having to drive an hour.  I'm surrounded by mountains, farms and two Wal-Marts.....and that's basically it, so I need to find a way to go somewhere other than the middle of BFE to do something fun.  What better way could there be than seeing your best friend or your sister? :)
Anyway, that's all for now folks, I've got nothing witty or funny to talk about....oh, other than the fact that last night I swear I saw a zombie.....ok, it might have been an old woman walking like she SHOULD  be a zombie, but still.  It was freaky.  I really need to stop reading and watching anything zombie related. 

Have a good week!

You ever get those days (or weeks, years...maybe even lifetimes) where you just feel like the world is spinning far too fast and erratically that you can't get your footing long enough to feel you've actually accomplished something? Well, I somehow find myself feeling like that yet again.  With gas prices going up I had to drop two of my classes this semester.  Family medical issues (not mine) have also forced things into a different direction.  So here I am yet again trying to figure out exactly what has to be done when it seems like everybody else around me has gotten to a happy point in their lives where they seem to be enjoying themselves.  Don't get me wrong, I like being an adult (sometimes) but sometimes being an adult really sucks.  When I was a kid, making mud pies or dressing up and pretending to be a Disney Princess or  a unicorn or whatever else I could imagine up at the time was the only thing I ever worried about.  Wouldn't that be nice to have a place to go where everything stands still long enough for you to catch your breath and use your imagination again? That's one of the reasons I love the book, The Little Prince, so much.  It appeals to children but there's a message there for us adults that I think could do a lot of people some good to look into.  We forget what it's like to just pretend and imagine something fantastical and magical like we did as kids.  Can't we try to see the world the way a child sees it and believe that it is perfectly logical? Why not?  Why isn't there more ways for adults to play and have fun (without the use of mind altering substances)?  After all doesn't  "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy"?  Why can't I have a magical castle with mythical creatures to protect it?  Why can't I have a sword that transforms me into a cool evil fighting princess like She-ra did?  How many times I imagined myself in a totally made up world when I was a kid can't even be counted.  I loved that.  I believed it.  I wish I still did.  In the meantime, I'm gonna try not to grow up TOO much.

Go out and play!

And so today marks the last year of my 20s.  I don't feel any older than yesterday and yet I feel that biological clock ticking and panic setting in that I'm not going to be that young girl I was when I first began my 20s.  Of course, I'm not that girl anymore even now but it makes it that much more permanent and final lol. I wish I was somewhere other than the middle of B.F.E. so I could have a proper celebration.  Right now it's just me, the crickets, maybe a banjo and my husband and his parents. Which isn't a bad thing, I just feel like there aren't even any options to do anything awesome for your birthday around here.

Officer Alex J. Murphy (aka Murphy)

So I introduced my other snuggle butt so here's my kitty, Murphy.  Yes, his name is technically what the caption says as he's named after my favorite cyborg cop, Robocop.  Of course we call him Murphy.  He's a little shit that likes to sleep on my pillow and sometimes on my head.  Once in awhile he wants to lie with one paw on my cheek like he's hugging my head.  He's cute and purrs louder than any cat I've ever had.  And yet, he's the biggest attention whore! I mean, he will be all up on your nuts when you're trying to get work done.  But I guess it's just my "Ace Ventura" gene once again showing itself.  He'll follow me around all over the house.  He even wants to be in my lap when I'm trying to have a private moment on the damn toilet! lol.  He demands it.  So, there's Murphy my sometimes lovable and always needy kitteh!

I think he was watching Pineapple Express here. lol.

I make this banana hat look good and you know it!

So here's a picture I took this week of Napoleon in the hat that came with his banana costume (from two Halloween's ago).  He doesn't really like stuff on his head but my husband decided to put the hat on him just to see if he'd wear it.  This is one of the pictures I managed to get of him looking all smug.  Seriously, I cannot love this little man enough haha.  He's so funny.  Personally, it made me think of a smurf when I saw the hat on him haha.  I don't know what I'd do without my stinky little Frenchie. 

It's hard work being a Frenchie.

Just thought I'd share the fun :)

Hi all, I was made aware that for some reason the option to leave comments wasn't working.  I removed a gadget at the bottom so hopefully that's fixed.  I wont know until somebody tries it so if you try to send me a comment on one of my posts and it doesn't work, shoot me an email at thespiraldown@gmail.com and I will look into it further.  I'm not all that great at that kind of thing but I'll find somebody who might know what's wrong with it if what I did doesn't fix it. So thanks :)

*hugs*

Yes, it's the day when everybody goes out and spends far more money than they need to on the people they either: love, care about, are friends with or maybe just want to get laid by.   My favorite are the ones that have only been dating for like 2 weeks and it's like a huge deal to them.  "OH MY GOD IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY AND I GET TO SPEND IT WITH MY SWEETIE! (I hope he gets me that necklace or ring I've been wanting for 10 years but didn't have anybody to buy it for me")..... I swear guys are suckers.  Why do you let yourselves get roped into all kinds of craziness over girls you barely know?  And girls, what the hell is wrong with you? You don't NEED to be with somebody on Valentine's Day just because it's Valentine's Day.  Hell, find some friends and go hang out with them.  I hear everybody get all sad and depressed that they don't have anybody on Valentine's Day....what about the other 364 days of the year that you don't have anybody? Why is it on this one day you get all sad and depressed and eat a half gallon...or maybe an entire gallon of ice cream? (don't worry, I do that sort of thing and I'm married!).  *sigh*  I hope everybody has a great time today because I know there's a big social expectation to go do something hopelessly and disgustingly romantic on February 14th every year.  Personally, I'm probably going to just sit at home, eat cheesecake, play around on www.getglue.com and maybe watch some 30 Rock on Netflix streaming.  That's my kind of Valentine's Day.......Lord, I'm getting old!!

But in all seriousness, have a safe, fun, romantic (if that's your thing) Valentine's Day and I hope you get to spend some quality time with the ones you love, whether they be friends, family, boyfriends/girlfriends, or spouses.  Just take the time to appreciate them.  No need to spend insane amounts of money because Hallmark tells you to.

Hugs,
Tiff.

So anybody actually celebrating Valentine's Day? I wonder sometimes if there's something wrong with me because I can't get into the spirit of Valentine's Day according to how we're supposed to celebrate it in the United States.  I don't see how candy is supposed to be more exciting to me on that day of the year when I happen to love candy just as much every other day.  I can go buy it without having silly little sayings on it that are supposed to be all happy and romantic.  I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my husband and I love getting gifts, but I don't understand why a day that was originally a feast day for a Saint got turned into the consumer driven machine that it is today.  I don't want my husband to buy me a gift because he feels obligated.  If he sees something he thinks I'd like and happens to get it then that's nice.  Especially if it's out of the blue and not on a day that stores everywhere tell you that they have the perfect gift for your lady.  I'd rather spend the money on something we both enjoy anyway that we'd do whether it was a holiday or not.  So, I guess I can give one piece of advice to people.  If you care about somebody there are lots of ways you can show it without having to go out and buy a silly card, roses, chocolates, a stuffed animal etc.  Don't feel pressured to have to go crazy on gifts.  Personally, my husband and I generally just discuss things we might want or we just say, forget getting a gift and we'll spend the money on something cool.  Well, anyway I'm ranting.  I guess I just think it's a little bit silly and it makes me sort of uncomfortable when romance is forced on you because it's what's expected from you on that day of the year.  But that's just me.

What do you think?  Do you think Valentine's Day and other holidays like that have gotten out of control with consumerism etc. that they've completely lost touch with what it was meant for in the first place? I know I certainly feel that way about several holidays.  Valentine's Day is definitely one of them.

    I have spent a lot of time looking up names online and in baby name books just because I love learning what names mean.  I love to write (although I tend not to actually finish a lot of what I start) and I love having names that suite the character’s personality/profession or maybe something that the character might become later on in the story (leaving it up to the reader to actually figure out what the name means or figuring out exactly how it fits that character). 

My Pets' names:
    -Murphy (my cat named for Officer Alex J. Murphy aka Robocop)
    -Napoleon (my french bulldog named for Napoleon Bonaparte)
    -used to have a Betta fish named Malcolm (for Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly  and Serenity) he died though.  I did have a picture of the ship, Serenity, taped to the back of his bowl though to give him a cool atmosphere.  What can I say? I’m a weird nerd like that. 
    -my cat that I had as a kid was She-ra, and to this day I still think She-ra was an awesome character. 

   
Anyway, I love names.  It’s fascinating. I thought I'd just ramble on about a little of what I was thinking regarding them. 

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone for reading my crazy ramblings. I may not have a huge number of followers at the moment but it's nice at there are a few of you out there willing to stop by and read :). So Thanks a million times over, and hopefully I'll have at least a couple of new posts in the next couple of days.

So, for a couple of months now I've been OBSESSED with GetGlue. If you dint know it, go to www.GetGlue.com and check it out. You can meet a ton of people by checking into your favorite movies, shows, music, topics, games, etc. I've been having a great time talking to people all over the world with interests at are similar to mine. The cool thing is, you can also earn free stickers! Since I love stickers it was a no brainer. I've already gotten my first batch of 20 stickers, including ones for the shows The Walking Dead and Bones. It's a lot of fun, but I won't tell you what to do (Yes I will, GO bosses to GetGlue.com).

Anywho, peace out and lots of hugs,
Tiff

Soooo, the last blog was about things I like or that make me happy.  Now I figured I'd go ahead and do a quick list of things that I dislike or annoy me.  HAH here it goes:

~When people (usually girls but I suppose it could be guys too) have their thongs showing.  Call me old fashioned but I like to leave a little bit to the imagination.  All that does is scream "I want attention" and yet I still see it all the time.

~The fact that Harry Dresden is not a real person.  (Read the Dresden Files series of books by Jim Butcher if you're confused.  These books are so awesome).

~People who talk on their cell phones while using a public restroom.  I doubt anybody wants to hear you dropping a deuce.  Seriously.  One of these days I'm going to shout out something to embarrass them.

~People who fart in elevators...That's not right.  I"m serious.  You think I don't know it was you when you were the only one in there?  *sigh*

~When people say Anthropologists/Archaeologists study dinosaurs.....*face palm* NO they don't.  I had an argument once with a girl who insisted that Anthropologists/Archaeologists studied dinosaurs and she kept telling me I was wrong.  I HAVE A DEGREE IN ANTHROPOLOGY. I would think I'm aware of what they study. *loud sigh* Don't get me wrong, I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was little.  I mean, really obsessed.  Eventually though, I wanted to study people instead. 

~When people call chimpanzees/gibbons/gorillas/orangutans...and refer to humans as monkeys.  APES we're freaking APES. There is a big difference.  This happens so often that I've tried very hard to ignore it but it's difficult when you've spent years going to school for something where this is beaten into your brain.  Here's a huge clue: If the primate has a tail, then it is a monkey....if not then it is an ape.  If they just have a little tuft instead of where a long tail would be....once again, it's an ape not a monkey.

~No 3rd season of Flight of the Conchords.  I think this is depressing.

~The fact that my best friend and I do not have a time machine.  There are so many people we'd like to visit back when they were a little younger ;)

~The fact that I have never seen David Bowie live....this needs remedied.

~The fact that all the foods I like are horrible for you and make you fat haha.  Including cheesecake O_o

~When your dog "dutch ovens" you when you're trying to sleep.  Yes, my dog does this.  He's too damn smart.

Anyway, there's thousands of things I don't like but I can't think of anymore right now to put on here. 
I'm sure this gives you a sense of who I am at least a little haha. 

Hugs,
Tiff

Now, I'm a pretty cynical person at times, especially as I get older.  However, I decided I'll make a little list of things that I actually like or can make me happy.  So, here are a few of those things:

~Friends and family (an obvious one I suppose, it's pretty much a required like when you win an Oscar and you always say "I wanna thank the Lord, my family...etc. etc.") Nah, I do love them ^_^

~Fireworks (the actual stuff that blows up with pretty colors...not the Katy Perry song in case you were confused).

~Sleep

~Reading (books usually)...OK, I read stupid celebrity gossip crap too what can I say?

~Terrible jokes (i.e. two peanuts walking down the road....one was a salted)....

~The sound of drums....especially if the person beating on them actually knows how to use them.

~Cooking out on a grill...this is pretty much the only way I can eat a hot dog...why do people boil them?  O_o

~Visiting historical locations/sites...This one seems like it should be pretty obvious....degree in Anthropology? Check....back in school to teach History......check...obsession with historical documentaries? Check.....can't stop watching infomercials when they're on...wait, no that's not right.

~Sparkly things....except vampires for God's sake.  The only time I want to see a vampire "sparkle" is when I light them on fire.

~When technology actually works...I know, it's so elusive but when it happens it's the same kind of reaction as the double rainbow guy (at least for me).....that's if I didn't break it before it actually started to work again..............*crickets*

~Watching movies...especially really bad ones that make me laugh.

~Music...ya know, I don't know a single person who doesn't like music. 

~Not having a headache...this one is crucial to happiness.

~Food...seems essential...there's a whoooole bunch of foods I love which is a blog post all on its own.


~Expensive makeup even when I don't wear it very often (it's an addiction, leave me alone!)

~Dogs with squishy faces and big ears
~Dogs in general
~Cats
~Ok, most animals....I have what I call the Ace Ventura gene....I need to write a separate blog on that.

~Candy...how can that not be full of happiness (and lots of calories)?

~I guess laughing should be on this list too.  I generally enjoy doing that. 

~People who are really organized.....because I'm not one of those people.

~Office supplies/School supplies....What? Is that weird?

~Nail polish

~Foreign accents...I swear I love hearing people talk when they have different accents. 

~My ginourmous Star Wars mug that I like to drink hot chocolate from.
~Hot Chocolate

~Googly eyes (I feel that every inanimate object should have at least one set of googly eyes)

~Grape Soda

~Bad...and I mean baaaaad, 80s movies.

~The smell of Scotch tape....What is that weird too? I don't know why....shut up, leave me alone.

~Science Fiction/Fantasy.....yeah yeah I'm a freaking geek.  You're so jealous.

~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o71kCuva4B4   <----That. All I can say is I'm mesmerized.


I'm sure as soon as I post this I'll think of thousands of other things to add but I think that's enough for now...I suppose I can always go back and make another post in the future about new things that amuse me.  Don't worry, I have a whole list of things I can't stand to post one of these days too! So that's a warning to be prepared ;)

Hugs,
Tiff



<----Love these things...I need to get some so I can put them on things. 

(Napoleon, courtesy of my cell phone)

Apparently my beloved French Bulldog, Napoleon, likes to puss out when we bust out the shooting games on the xbox 360.  Yep, while my husband has been playing Gears of War, Gears of War 2 (which I played too until I kept getting blown up into pieces, but it was fun while it lasted), Call of Duty: Black Ops, Halo:Reach, Halo: ODST, etc, etc....the dog decides to crawl into my lap, curl up as small as a 25 pound dog with huge ears can, and then proceed to shake.  I swear he channels his inner chihuahua (I've never seen a dog shake in sheer terror like a chihuahua can).  He looks at me with a sad look like the gunfire is actually going on in our bedroom in real life.  I mean, I'd probably crap myself too if it was but it's just games.

(An example of Napoleon pussing out)

                                                 

  Of course, he's a dog, and while French Bulldogs are ridiculously smart (trust me, my dog is TOO smart), they don't know that it's completely fake.  Although, the volume isn't even all that loud.  Still, I'm disappointed that I named him Napoleon and then he goes and pusses out like a little bitch.  Oh well, he's still ridiculously cute and a complete and total snuggle butt so I guess I'll cut him some slack.  That is if I give him a banana (one of his favorite treats of all time, that he'd kill a man for).  I guess he thinks he's a big, bad dog until the guns start firing.

Awesome games that might make your dog want to shit him/herself:

Ugh! I feel like crawling into a dark hole somewhere and coughing up at least one if not both of my lungs right now.  I probably look like I could be an extra on The Walking Dead (which I SHOULD be dammit!!).  I will blame this on my husband mainly because he was sick before me (or at least had symptoms).  It makes me so mad when he gets sick because he usually gets over it quickly and with a lot less problems.  I on the other hand, get this gross, horrible, ridiculously annoying bronchitis thing going on.  Thankfully I've never had it turn into pneumonia, seeing as I already have asthma to make me more miserable.  It's just not helpful to float around in a fog from Mucinex all day long when I need to be studying/reading junk for my classes that just started up.  The snow is bad enough, I don't need to be wheezing and coughing on people while also slipping on the damn ice.  Aaaaaanyway, hopefully I'll come up with an amusing or witty blog soon when I have full function of my respiratory system again.







<---They need me in Season 2, they just don't realize it so they haven't called.

P.S.......
        

<---------That right there, helps this crappy cough.  Just so you know.

You know what really grosses me out?  A lot of things but many of them have to do with what I observe (not that I'm actually LOOKING at anybody) have to do with public bathrooms.  Now, being a woman, I wouldn't know a great deal about what the Men's room would look like but I feel that women have a serious lack of knowledge on how to use a public restroom properly. I guess what I'm really getting at is, have some freaking courtesy when using them.  Other people have to go in after you and do their business.  I would hope people would want a relatively clean experience while doing what needs to be done in there, so how about not leaving a disgusting mess?  I am starting to believe that there needs to be a 101 class on how to use a public bathroom.  I mean really?  What is wrong with you people?  I know that for many, this is an embarrassing and uncomfortable topic but I am going to give you some tips to help make EVERYONE have a better experience when they can't wait until they get home to do their business.


1.  The courtesy flush....Now, I've never met a single human being whose shit did not stink.  Quit fooling yourself.  You certainly aren't fooling me if I'm in the stall next to you.  With that being said, it's a natural thing and nobody can get away with NOT doing it (unless they are ill).  But be a sweetheart and flush once in awhile to help minimize the possibility that I am going to gag while trying to pee in the stall next to you. 


2.  Flush the damn toilet...Countless times I have gone into a public bathroom and there is at least one toilet that has a disgusting mess in it or evidence that some nasty ass person just didn't flush.  Ok, first and foremost, that is freaking disgusting and second, you should be ashamed of yourself to be that gross.  Just flush the damn thing so nobody else has to look at what you ate earlier.  Thank you very much.



3.  Clean the hell up after yourself...I don't know how many people know this statistic but Hepatitis (as in B and C) can live for up to 7 days in a single drop of blood.  Ladies, I think you know what I'm getting at here.  We all have to deal with that friendly little visitor once a month and chances are you'll end up having to use a public restroom at one time or another with said visitor.  Don't leave that shit on the toilet seat.  I can't even count how many times I've gone into a stall and seen that.  Why should I have to clean up something like that?  Clean that stuff up if you see you made a mess.  It's courteous and a hell of a lot safer for others.
           *If you are a woman who goes into a stall with that on it, I would highly recommend you use a different one....see above statistic about Hepatitis. 


4.  Wash your freaking hands...I don't care how many companies make hand sanitizer, when you use the restroom, wash them. WITH SOAP AND WARM WATER.  Hand sanitizer is not a cure all.  There are some times that you should actually wash your hands and after using the bathroom is one of them.  Yeah, I know that they claim to kill something like 99.something percent of all germs blah blah blah.  Notice it is not 100%? Also, if you have debris on your hands or under your nails, that makes it harder for the hand sanitizer to even get to all of it.  Just be a dear and wash with the standard soap and water.  Also, I know this is not the place you want to hang around for any longer than you have to but you should wash them for at the very least for the time it takes for you to either sing the alphabet song or twinkle twinkle little star....


I hope this little bit of advice helps.  Otherwise, quit being gross.

Hugs,
Tiff

For those that care, classes started up again so it might take a few days for me to get the energy to write a decent post. I hope everyone is having a good week. It's cold here but personally, I'd rather be cold than hot...that's just me though. It makes me miss Ohio even more. I suppose WV isn't THAT bad......I actually do enjoy Marshall University. After graduating from Ohio State, I like the smaller classes where professors actually remember your name. Anyway, good day to you all :) Adios.

Hugs,
Tiff

Ok, so one day back when I was at Ohio State, I was on my way to the main library with my fiance (now my husband) and we saw this tiny little kitten.  It was so cute and it made me incredibly sad that I couldn't take it home with me.  I felt so horrible and wished there was something I could do.  I was afraid it would end up dead for one reason or another and it was already late fall and cold as balls.  So I thought about that poor little kitty and hoped I didn't go back and find it dead somewhere near the library.  Well, on another day when I had to hike over to the same library with the same fiance (who is still my husband), we saw the same kitten.  This time, however, he had a large dead bunny in his mouth.  I mean, I say bunny but this was not little by any stretch of the imagination.  This was a full grown rabbit.  It was bigger than the kitten, and yet this kitten was walking around with it in his mouth like it was no big deal to carry something twice its body weight.  I turned to my now husband and simply said something along the lines of "well shit, I guess I don't feel so bad now, that thing can definitely take care of itself."  I have no idea if the kitten actually killed the rabbit or if he stumbled across a lucky find with the rabbit already dead.  I like to imagine that the kitten jumped out from behind a bush and roared at it and then proceeded to slaughter it like some sort of Spartan warrior or something.  I'm pretty sure that there's some sort of great message here, like even those who appear small or weak can kick your chubby ass or something.  I don't know.  I just thought the kitten with his ginormous catch was awesome.  So there you have it.

I swear this picture looks just like that kitten....who knows, maybe it IS.  But you get the idea.  That kitten was a warrior and badass.



Hugs,
Tiff

I'm pretty sure everyone has at least one thing that creeps them the hell out.  I have a pretty decent list of things that would fall into that category.  So here's some of the things that either weird me out, creep me out or cause a chill to run down my spine (not listed in any particular order):



-Mustaches (on people who can't quite grow a nice full/burly one).  Personally, I think it makes you look like a rapist of the pedophile variety.

-Vans with no windows (other than the front ones, obviously).  Does this not scream serial killer/crazy rapist to anybody else?  Yeah, I thought so.

-Spandex.  Is there a single person this material even looks good on? No, the answer is no.

-Robots.  The terminator still scares the shit out of me.  I don't know what I'd do if one actually showed up.

-Elevators.  I have recurring nightmares where I'm in one and it either wont let me out or it tilts in some weird way.  I'm not sure why I have them but I do.  I've never been on one that malfunctioned but apparently my mind still doesn't like them.

-Boats/Ships.  I saw the damn movie Poseidon Adventure (the original, not the remake, Poseidon, because why the hell would I want to watch something that terrifying with even better special effects?) Hell to the no.  I've also watched Titanic (as if we didn't already know the ending going into it.) I was forced to go see it, against my will.  I am absolutely terrified of ships.  I don't even really like going on to ones that are actually docked let alone out where you can't see any land. O_o

-Bodies of Water other than a pool.  If I can't see what the hell is swimming around me wanting to eat me or tear off at least some part of me, nope, don't think so!

-The Human Centipede.......I have NOT seen it, but I know what it's about.  I don't know why my mind keeps trying to work it out in terms of how it could actually be done.  Ugh.  I haven't seen Two Girls/One Cup either and it makes me sick to think about.  What the hell is wrong with people?

-Things that hiss. Have you ever seen a goose hiss? It's terrifying.  They will straight up kill a man. 

-Hamsters because they're friggin' evil.  Other than the cute little things you buy them that they'll chew the hell through, they are out for blood.  Make no mistake about it, they will slaughter a human being and drain them of their blood.  I'm not kidding.  Never let your child have one of these.  Give them a shark or a rabid raccoon....I repeat DO NOT let your child have a hamster!  I warned you.  Just remember that when you're crying in the emergency room hoping they will reattach your arm for you.

-Tentacles.  OMG do I even need to explain?
    -Especially the 3rd right tentacle of a male octopus.  Trust me.  You don't want that thing near you.

-Anything with more than 4 legs.  Just no. Keep that shit away from me. I don't care if it's covered in chocolate or that it's dead.  Don't think so.

-Feet.  Because they're freaking disgusting. 

So anyway, I hope you enjoyed my little list of terrifying things.  I'm serious about the hamsters!

Have a great day!

Hugs, Tiff

Son of a....
You ever get the feeling that nothing ever goes right in your life? That is how I've been feeling lately.  I just had my windshield replaced a few months back and now I have another crack in the new one because a stupid ginormous truck threw a rock at me when I was driving home not too long ago.  To make matters worse, my husband has a giant crack in HIS windshield.  I swear, the universe is conspiring against me to force me into insanity.  Ugh.  Just when I wanted to buy my husband an Xbox 360 for Christmas, there's a bunch of adult/responsibility type crap I have to deal with.  I probably wish I was a kid again at least 70 times a day.  Who the hell wants to be responsible anyway? In all fairness to adulthood, I certainly wouldn't be able to drink mimosas for New Year's if I were still a child.  Also, I hate having to ask permission for anything, not to mention I don't like to be told what to do.  So, sometimes being an adult has its advantages....but right now it blows.  

Hugs,
Tiff


<----That's what being an adult prevents me from having at the moment! Ohhh but it will be mind.  I have a Wii but we end up using it more for Netflix than for playing games....unless of course we're killing zombies playing House of the Dead.  That's something I can get into.
