Update from the Bump

So. Spoiler alert: I'm pregnant! It's been a long long time since I wrote a 'blog, and coincidentally that's about the same amount of time that I have been coming to terms with the fact that I'm going to be a mommy.

I'm pleased to announce that although I would have taken money to Vegas and bet I would be having a boy, my growing tum tum it's definitely housing a little girl. Aww, my very own legacy!

That's all for now. I'm just waiting for shift to end at work so I can go home and snuggle with my blueberry-ette (thanks, Granny!) and the Jolly Green Giant for a couple of hours.

Momentary Frustrations

For argument's sake, I would like to say that I don't enjoy ignorance. Or misinformation. It's agitating, and I want to make sure everyone on Earth is as informed about life in general as they should be.

So with this in mind, let me ask: What the &$%@ does the Illuminati have to do with hip hop??

*facepalm.

More on this later.

Be it Resolved...

I have been giving considerable thought to my resolutions for this miraculous and promising new year. I had considered giving up fast food -- well, 4 days in, that one busted. So maybe I'll adapt it to something like "Not eating fast food more than twice a week." Maybe that will be more doable?

Anyway, edits and adaptations included, here's my list:

1. I will not eat fast food more than twice a week.
2. I will stay in better contact with friends and family.
3. I will lose at least 15 pounds by March.
4. I will complete at least one 30-day challenge a month. (This includes exercising, photo challenges, journaling challenges, etc., and yes I plan to make up for the days I have missed so far this month!)
5. I will try to answer at least one of life's biggest questions a week here.
6. I will begin a career directly in line with my education.
7. I will finish one of the novel/story ideas that I have in my head.

I could list a few more, but I'm hoping 7 is my lucky number. It's also ridiculously late and I need to go to sleep! Like I'm yawning and my eyes are watering so much I look like I'm at a funeral kind of "need to go to sleep." So... Until next time,

Lullaby,
And goodnight,
Go to sleep little baby...
Sleep so tight,
Rock-a-bye,
It's 1 in the morning so close your damn eyes!

Out with the Old, In with the New

Welcome to 2014. I would do a year in review, but suffice to say that changes have been - and will continue to be - made. It's been a wonderful and terrifying roller coaster ride, which I am almost reluctant to say I'm glad it's over. I mean, I am glad it's over... the drama and downward spirals, anyway. I wouldn't change the good things for anything.

Actually, this whole "New Year" idea makes me think about one of the newer Halestorm songs called "Here's to Us." Part of the bridge (or is this considered its own verse?) goes like this:

Here's to all that we've kissed
And to all that we've missed
To the biggest mistakes that we just wouldn't trade
To us breaking up
Without us breaking down
To whatever comes our way

Here's to us!



So here's to you, here's to me, here's to the birds that're hanging with the bees. One shot for love and one for loss, now take one more to show 'em who's boss.

Salud!

Monster

Skillet had a good thing going when they released that song. I really want to see them live.

Thankfully I am finding more individuals like myself who wrestle with demons (or at least that's what I am telling myself) and enjoy loud and heavy music.

I must confess that I feel like a monster...

Being an adult sucks.

Commander-in-Chief, please.

The title has nothing to do with this post. In fact, I haven't blogged in so long I was contemplating getting rid of my mobile app altogether.

Well, contemplate no more! I am making a pointless entry to prove to myself that blogging IS, in fact, still a valid option for self-expression. Much in the same way as coloring in a coloring book. Except my coloring book LIED TO ME. Yes, it's crazy, I know; but it's true. "How does this travesty occur?" one may ask. To which I reply "LET ME TELL YOU!"

There is a picture of Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and Prince Eric sharing a "moonlight moment."

B* I am pretty sure she never wore a necklace and she damn well never wore a pink dress when they were out on the lagoon! Disney artists need to be getting their minds right before they publish that garbage. It's not even true!! What the hell is the world coming to when I can't even have a "stori"cally accurate coloring experience?!

Theeeese people piss me off.

/end rant

Deja Vu.

It's been awhile since I have been this upset... A good few months, at least. It's amazing what a little bit of insanity will do to a person. (And I'm talking Albert Einstein position on insanity... Doing the same things over and over, expecting different results.) I'm tired of feeling this way... And it's not even me being the majority of the insanity this time! That's the messed up part.

Ugh! Just someone explain to me why the most worthless people are the ones that people cleave to... And don't give me any lines about having hope in humanity and giving people a leg up out a helping hand... It's bull sh* and if you knew the specifics of my situation you wouldn't wonder why.
