Because I HATE having to explain myself…..

Taking an extended Blogging Break

Here I was all excited about my upcoming giveaway and then my parents drop a FUCKING HUGE ASS bomb on me…..This afternoon we’re putting Shawna to sleep….that was after my father had already left for work and was giggling about the fact that “she” (who turned out to be Shawna) looks at my mom with [...]

But I’m not going to because my weekend sucked a$$. I guess the only good thing that came out of it was that I got out of bed to help my team be successful in our first night with our store’s holiday hours. That’s about it. That’s the only good highlight from my [...]

Vietnam Veteran

Thank You’s

Thank you to all the ladies who stopped by yesterday from SITS for “Open Letter” day.  I’ll be coming back to visit your blogs later.  Was a bad night at work last night and I’m going to bed.  I’ll “see” you all later.

Friday’s Blessings 11/21/08

Went to the dentist on Wednesday….a [...]
