I'm crazy lol

I'm obsessed and I'm crazy...lol...ok so I tweeked my journal to make it kinda pretty only problem is only like half the edits are showing up...when I do the template preview all the changes show up but it has yet to show up when I look at my journal...I think I have to be patient and it will eventually catch up but I'm going bonkers trying to figure out why it ain't working lol...grrrr....I have to step away from the journal site...lol...

anyways...my Tuesday is going great thus far...husband and I took a walk after work last night...we changed up our trail so that we have to go up the steepest incline on our property so last night Chaos and I took off for our power lap and I jogged up the hill....agh...lol...I'm soooo outta shape! Many years ago I worked in a warehouse and so I got my exercise at work, but not so much now lol...so this is a good thing that we're doing our walking...I hope I stick with it!

There's a consistent thing in my life and one day I hope to overcome it...I think it's a human nature thing or probably a lazy thing...I've been thinking about this off and on for a while now...I don't finish things...I start on something all gung ho about it and then it gets hard and I get discouraged and don't finish the thing I started...like learning to play guitar...here I am a year later...I know a few chords but I couldn't play a song (at a sing-a-long tempo anyway) to save my life...I finally put it away a few weeks ago because I was afraid the dust would harm it...the biggie is college....I guess that will always haunt me until I do it...ya know what I did yesterday? I printed off the forms to fill out to order my transcripts from Asbury and Wright State...we'll see if I actually follow through with that but I really would like to obtain my bachelor degree at some point in my life...thus far in life I've lived from day to day not really planning for the future...every once in a while I'll contemplate my purpose but for the most part I'm just running around aimlessly...does anyone else have these thoughts and feelings? I guess it's a part of "growing up"....lol

wow I didn't mean to get all philisophical and stuff...I guess I better try to accomplish some work today....I'm sure I'll pop on here to check my journal occassionally today...stinking background better appear soon!! lol...tell me if you see a checker board border...I'll at least know that someone can see it! lol

ohhh...the tag thingy...5 pet peeves wasn't it?

these are in no particular order...

1.) Chewing sounds...the sloshing and the chomping...ugh...I use to drive my sister crazy with the chewing of ice and for that I deeply apologize...chewing sounds has become a huge pet peeve to me...I don't even like to hear myself chew either Kelley!! lol

2.) Morning people...lol...see my previous entry...I'm happy that you are happy to be up so early...but please be quiet and leave me alone until I appear alert! lol

3.) Narrow-minded people...or people that think that their way is the only right way...

4.) Judgmental people...I cannot stand the whole label game...

5.) People that don't use their turn signals...this is the only way in which you can communicate with other drivers people...so turn your blinker on!

a bonus 6.) typos

I'm sure there are many other pet peeves I have and many of them are really petty and strange but this is what I could think of...actually, I thought of one but I didn't want to create a whole political commentary on here...but what the heck..it's my journal lol...Hilary Clinton was on the news this morning spewing her hatred of our president...some people think that possibly she has a really good chance of being the next president...but one of my friends brought up a very good point that the world is not ready for a woman president...domestically we may be ready but as far as foriegn relations would go...countries like China and Japan...they aren't ready to deal with a woman American president...lol...ok that isn't what I was fixing to journal about but it came to mind because she was on GMA this morning (so was Queen Latifah , who I love!! And Robin Roberts interviewed her and I love Robin too!) here I go getting side-tracked again...lol ...actually the pet peeve recently that I was fixing to talk about was lately it's been on the news a lot (it was brought up last night on the news as a matter of fact)...people are asking for a time table of when we are going to pull out of Iraq...people are clamoring for the president to tell a time of when we can expect to be out of Iraq....HELLLOOOO....is there a way to tell the American people without telling the enemy this magical timetable???? NO (the "telephone" game that we played as children comes to mind - "pass it along but dont' tell the enemy")....do you play checkers or chess telling your opponent every move you are going to make two moves prior? I just do not understand this question. I do understand that a lot of people aren't on board with this war...and I must admit I'm weary of all the news about it...but still...I think and I hope that the changes will be more positive and produce a better quality of life for people in Iraq...a life that doesn't spawn more terrorists and tyrants...but I just don't understand how people can ask such a question without the understanding that if the government reveals its time table concerning Iraq, they will in effect give the enemy a huge clue as to when they will just have to wait to take over the country of Iraq...to me that's a no brainer...anyway...ok...I'm off the soap box...and I'm sorry to politicize my journal today...but the whole pet peeve discussion spawned that...lol...I was watching the news last night and that very topic came up and I ran around the house spouting off and ranting what I just typed and husband was like...tell me how you really feel dear...I can't watch the news sometimes because I'm like a guy watching sports...I can't shut up!! lol...there's a radio talk show host that I'm always yelling at too...ugh...

alright enough is enough...I need to go try and work...ya'll have a blessed day!!
