Not Quite The Week I Expected

Today, I find myself free like a butterfly.

Joining the ranks of the unemployed.

Happy Holidays to me.

But you know what.

I have a family who loves me.

Awesome friends and relatives that love me.

I'm a survivor.  I will carry on.

Love Is Blind

Happy snowy Saturday.  What?  You didn't get snow at your place.  We did,  here, I'll prove it.

We got about 3".  Some people, and you know who you are, will be very jealous of me.  So sorry.

Now, on to the reason we are all gathered here today.  Jenny and her Saturday Centus test.  Our weekly assignment where she gives a prompt and tells us how many words we can use, and if we can or can not use a picture.  She is so good to us like that.  I always highlight the prompt in blue, just so you know what I have to work with.  

LOVE IS BLIND

“We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing”, was playing while Natalie prepared their Thanksgiving meal.  She was grateful that Nathan was home.  Last year he was fighting in a useless war.  She was thankful that he survived, but now he was learning a new way of life.
She remembered back to the fateful phone call telling her he was being flown to Walter Reed Hospital.  When she arrived, the doctor informed her that he came through surgery just fine, but to be prepared for the fact that he would never see again.  
She was jolted back to the present, when the baby inside her kicked. 

I do believe that the heart is the true sense of love.  Always love those around you.  You never know when things will happen to change your way of life.

Let's Talk Shoes

I sure haven't done a Shoegasm in a while.  So I was shamed by Baby Sister, decided that it was about time.  
Let us begin.  Just remember, I am a clutz-butts so I could not ever wear these shoes.  Give me flat shoes, or give me death.  No really, it's not a pretty sight with me falling all over the place.
Very cute.  I'm thinking could go with a dress or pants.  

Same here.  Oh, to be young and stupid and not a dork. 

Don't those look so warm and cozy.  Aaahhhh.  I bet I couldn't get them over my instep tho.  Drats.

These are more my style.  Flat, sheepskin, warm, keep out the snow, kick co-workers, stylish.  

And now, a couple of just because, and Oh My Gosh, to make your day.

Is it a boot, is it a shoe,, is it a.............

So, so, so freaking cute.  Remember a few shoes up how I mentioned if I was.  Yeah, these would definitely be in my closet.

What would be in your closet?

It's Fracken Friday

It's the most, wonderful time, of the week.  When we say hip-hooray, we've sure needed this day, and we sing in good cheer......, it's the most, wonderful time, OF.....THE.....WEEK.......

Ummm, right, I got carried away there for a second.  It's time to let um rip, with the help of Christy and Boobies and their little meme.  Where I am able to spew forth my venomous anger.  

And what fracken friday would be complete without a road rage incident.  I know, I know, I need to be calm, go to my happy place, pretend that they are not all around me.  But they are.  We will just have to deal with it.

See this car?

It was in front of me on my way to meet up with Vicki last saturday.  As you can tell, we are on a NOT BUSY back road.  It's swarming with other cars, deer frolicking, bike riders, and joggers.  What?  You don't see them.  Mister (yes it was a guy) driver must have been a scardy cat, because he kept stepping on the brakes.  You can see them all lighted up, I know you can.  And yes I snapped this photo with my phone camera.  I was getting really upset.  I might have even said a really pleasant word or two. :)

Now, on to my biggest flip off of the week.  First, I must apologize for my bringing up physical abuse so much lately, but honestly, it bugs the living crap out of me.  

TRIAL UNDER WAY FOR MAN ACCUSED IN DISABLED WOMAN'S DEATH

"Christina Harms lay dead on the floor of a Kearns home, her body bruised, her arms and fingers wrapped so tightly in bandages she could not use her hands, a red pepper flake stuck in her lower right eyelid. 

An autopsy would later determine the 22-year-old woman, whose fetal alcohol syndrome diminished her mental abilities, was severely dehydrated and had potentially fatal levels of Benadryl or a similar drug in her system. 

The medical examiner listed the cause of death as abuse and neglect." 

If you would like to read the whole article about this, you can check it out here.

This sickens me.  Especially the first paragraph.  Please, please, please let there be a huge old bubba in the cell with this guy and bubba-ette with his wife.  How can one human do crap like this to another.   

Maybe I need to just stop listening to the news.
