my rants.

there is so much going on in my tiny little world (let alone the rest of the world)

that i find it hard to begin and get out everything that's been going on and everything i've been feeling.

i am resorting back to lists to give you guys a glimpse into what's been going on:

1. this weather. really, New Yorkers and all in the Tri-State area...wtf? Hot, cold, humid, cold. Warm, cold. Stop getting me sick!
2. doctors. can you figure out how to talk to a patient yourself while not scaring her? thanks.
3. rehabilitation centers- you're supposed to CHECK on your patients and make sure that they don't roll out of bed, you assholes. how can someone who hasn't walked or sat up for a whole year decide that three days ago would be the day that she'd roll out of bed. we know it was your, you *^*&^%^&%'s.
4. drivers (grrrrr and grrrrr)- why are you trying to kill me by cutting me off with your car? did i do something to you? did me going straight and following traffic laws piss you off? did you believe that i had a deathwish? you're lucky i didn't play bumper cars with you, you dumb &%*k's.
5. children/students: when you leave your school building and you're walking God Only Knows Where, why do you feel above everyone else who is in an AUTOMOBILE while you are not looking when you cross the street? Why are you frolicking while not looking or hearing the oncoming traffic?? Did it bother you when I honked my horn and scared the piss out of you in front of your stupid little friends? Curse at me again and I swear to God I will get out of the car and kick the snot out of you. You're lucky I had my dog in the car and that he's little. Your parents must be so proud and I am so happy I know where you go to school.
6. hospitals- why do you make people wait in drafty hallways when there are quite obviously empty beds and warm empty rooms that the patient will be pulled into directly? i have so many rants about you, hospitals, that I think I can write a book about it.
7. time warner cable- stop dicking me around with these bills and no clean-cut explanations, you animals.

i am sorry i had to rant and rave so much, but this is going on in the world of me.

i hope you lovely readers are having a much better, happy healthy week <3

love me,

snowy New Jersey

these are the pictures that LML sends me from NJ this morning!

notice the snow up to my Father-in-laws knees....

Pup couldn't be bothered to go out this morning. New York was snowy with some big fluffy flakes. Pup retreated to the living room and commenced assisting me in downsizing paper pile (more on that later)

Hope you're warm and toasty wherever you are :)

Reflections '09/'10

A lot of people write reflections down... I don't know if I ever really have and I'm a journal/scrapbooking/list kind of a girl.

So I'm going to take a hint from the inspirational loves and put everything into words. I am sorry if I am driving you crazy, but am so thankful that you've visited. Please note, that if there is an old post you'd like to comment on, I will NOT think that you are crazy. I love comments :)

2009:

• I began my blog in August.
• Realizing, once again and on a daily basis, that I love LML more and more
• In January: We spent New Year's with my family- it was the coldest day ever! Anyone remember that? Many diner trips, my niece's 19th birthday at homeand at a hookah lounge, our first time ever in Montreal, hanging out with friends
• February/March: hanging out with friends even MORE, 10 year reunion (don't remind me!), weekend getaways with the best people in the world!, first time ever in the Dominican Republic!
• April/May/June: working on beautifying our backyard, planting tulips, multiple Home Depot and Garden Shoppe runs, planting trees and other flowers. We have planted over 30 species last year alone! Boy, the yard was empty. Atlantic City Trips
• realizing that writing and publishing my books were my only focus besides family, responsibilities, and gardening was a freeing experience
• helping out someone, only to let the outcome of the situation turn to crap because they suck: i.e. see crazy people posts.
• cooking and baking different things!
• my good friends having their baby!
• celebrating successes

2010:

• pursuing our dreams
• realizing that people will "show their ass" if you're happy and they're not
• realizing that some people will only care about you if you are miserable
• wondering what to do about said people
• taking time out for ourselves and our families
• wanting to change our lives, getting rid of all negative energies.

Ya. That about sums it up for now!

love me
