Vacation mode enabled (well other than still waiting to hear from the guy who I'm letting recruit me as a part time English teacher so I know what my hours will be). I'm tempted to bake more tasty shortbread cookies for christmas, and then tempted to keep trying to be good and not eat those chunks of carby addictiveness. Oh and going to see the new hobbit movie today, even found a friend to go with.

Yeah. No kidding. It's like...way to make me feel like the worst human being on Earth and no one working with me really cared that this happened to me. Extremely unprofessional.
Welcome to the world of adults. A few things to remember:
There are many spoiled whiny unreasonable people out there masquerading as responsible adults.

Life should be fair, that's what fair means….. but it's not and people are often more loyal to their own interests than to what is right or fair.

Being reasonably content with your life now is much more valuable than working a good paying job that makes you stressed out and miserable.

God is your provider, not your employer or your own abilities or efforts.

My first job out of college I was stuck in an office with a boss who didn't know what to do with me or give me any direction, but reacted like I was doing something unbelievably inappropriate if I was surfing the net or reading a book to try to keep myself from complete boredom. I say now it was a very good job for someone else, but finding the courage to leave and "fail" at that job was one of the best things that ever happened to me faith wise. Don't get too discouraged by a few false starts and challenges and don't blame yourself for all of them, sometimes its the other person who has the issues.

Your courage and tenacity throughout this year have been inspiring and you are well ahead of the game when it comes to wisdom and maturity.

O Duchess where art thou?
Others talk about taking over the world.

I'm convinced she's actually planning to do it.


Seriously guys, we really should be watching for her to make a move. I'm expecting she might go for a classic maneuver and try to cross the rocky mountains. But she's smart - she's not using elephants, nor is she doing it on foot. She's got a fleet of SUV's with tinted windows.

And she was asking me about guns a while back, and what you might need to stop a horde of zombies. I think this was code for take over the world. She joked about building the worlds largest nerf cannon. I think it might be real.

My poor kitty almost became dog food tonight. Right now I have my door closed and he's resting peacefully. But I feel so bad for him right now. I heard the meow but didn't react. My sister did. *sigh*

seoulsearch: What do you MEAN you wonder if you have enough cookies? You're from the dark side, or so you said. They have all the cookies. Haven't you heard?

Please pray for my little brother. He had jaw surgery earlier this evening and I'm staying overnight at the hospital with him right now. The poor guy looks a mess. His recovery period is 6 weeks and he has to be on a liquid diet the whole time. His girlfriend is here too and she's been so sweet and supportive. It's been a nice chance to talk more with her too.

Lynx: When I moved to the Dark Side, they ran out of cookies.

I'm sure it was just a coincidence.

(And noticed, I stayed anyways...)

I want to not eat for two meals.
Because I need to exercise my self-control.
But what happens is that whenever you have coffee early in the morning a.k.a. 10 am and have nothing else with it, you may feel a slight disturbance from the lack of filler in your tummy.


Oh bother. lol

Poor guy, he can't seem to catch a break, can he?

Hosting my first ever sit down at a table with a fancy tablecloth type of dinner tonight...!!!

First- remove mountain of canvas and paint from dining table. Next, locate only tablecloth I own. Then...clean house and wrap gifts and replace water filter and have a shower and fuss with Christmas decorations and rearrange half the furniture and bathe children and paint fingernails and find suitable mix of Christmas music and text husband that we have nothing to drink with dinner and clean up new messes kids have made and change clothes five times and kick cats out of kitchen and create centerpiece for table...

I guess somewhere in there I should maybe cook dinner, too.

Help.

Yeah, he had a really rough night. His pain kept pulling him out of sleep so I don't think he rested much. He had a lot of complications overnight :( The nurses were absolutely amazing and took excellent care of him, which was really reassuring. I stayed until my dad showed up at 8am and I just got home but he's still there. He still struggles to swallow so we're not sure when he can come home
