Idiots Rule the World............................

Oh, that is just the way he is!!!!!

Why is it acceptable for some people to behave nasty and have it chalked up to personality? Since when was rudeness become a personality trait? I mean really. That is no excuse for being a bitch, cantankerous, and downright obnoxious. So why is it acceptable in some cases and not in others. Personally I have very litte tolerance for it. Do bring that shit to me because I will not stand for it.

Oh, that is just the way he is...... bullshit.

Something to Think About

Today I missed my train. Which would not be a big deal on a normal day, but today I ended up taking the last train home. I had to wait an hour and a half for that train. I started to think, who could I call to give me a ride home (since I now live in 30 minutes south of Boston) on a snowy night. And I came to a sad realization, there was no one.

The weird thing is that I have a lot of people in my life. I have a bunch of friends and a few family members very close. And as I thought about who would actually come out in the snow if I asked, I was overcome with great sadness. No one, a friend who I thought would go above and beyond simply made an excuse and that was that.

I am always there when someone is in need. I go out of my way most of the time to accommodate them and yet, when I am in need none of those people are there for me. How utterly sad and depressing. Now that is something to think about long and hard as I move forward. Who will be there for me?

It is suppose to move you!!!!

Why do people walk up and down escalators?

As far as I can tell (with my highly developed skill of observing) it was designed to move you up and down. Now, there a stairs right next to eh escalator. Why not use them, they were designed to utilize human power to work.

I've recently be come a commuter again. I am at the mercy of the MBTA (I have mixed emotions about that). And I've notice that when I take the escalator people get really mad if I actually get on and let at carry me to the bottom or the top. I mean, I don't run for the train. There is no reason... If I am already late what is running going to do? I won't suddenly be on time. And if I am early, well damn it, I am early.

I am gonna let it carry to the bottom or the top. If I wanted to do it myself I would take the stairs. So, people when I am on the escalator at the train station don't expect me to move.

And then there were 3

Well it seems as if another one of my girl friends is off the marker. She has gone and found herself a man. I am so happy for her. She is also having a wonderful career run as well. Now it is me and 2 other friends in the singles mart. :-) Good things comes to those who wait. And boy am I overdue.

No Wire Hangers!!!!!!!!

So today a judge at the Suffolk Family and Probate court signed a piece of paper and made me a mother..... It is very strange to say, I have a daughter. I am not sure if I will get used to saying it. But it is official. I adopted my godsister.

When she was about a year and a half, my mother was appointed her legal guardian. We been taking care of her since I was a sophmore in highschool and 17 years later, she is now my child. It has been roller coaster... she had serious medical problems when she was born and I found myself a frequent visitor to the Children's Hospital Emergency room that a good number of years. But with regular medical care she thrived and if you see her today you would never guess she almost died a couple of times as a child.

Funny thing is that, I did it without an attorney and what I thought would cost me a couple thousand dollars only cost me about two hundred, and that was for postage and a newspaper ad. A few years ago I asked a lawyer how much it would cost and her said about 3k, which was the main reason I did not do it. But everything happens for a reason and when it is suppose to happen. The process took 7 months. And that was only because I could not find her biological mother to sign the surrender form (the newspaper ad did not work for her because the was a last known address on file with the court). Like it said, everything in due time.

She has turned out to be a wonderfully intellegent, beautiful young woman whole has received a full four year scholarship to a boston university. She has been in the newspaper, recipient of several awards in boston and much much more. In eleven days she will be 18 and beginning a new phase of her life... I am glad we had a hand in that, it has been a group effort with her... and continues to be.

I still can't believe that I am someone's mother...

This Just In

Not much is happening in my world.....

I finally decided to register my business and I am currently working on some marketing materials, which should be done something this week. Next will be hitting the street to get the word out there and increase my clients. I am currently working with a couple clients and have been for a while. It will be a pleasure to take this project from just an idea to a very profitable company. It is the ride that I am looking forward to the most... the money will be an added bonus.

My little sister had her prom last week and she was stunning.... I mean the girl is a beauty, she will be breaking many hearts before long. Still can't believe she is graduation from high school in less than a week. And so smart - full scholarship to a local university, honors, valedictorian, top student in her school... nice for a kid who barely pass middle school with all D's. What a difference a summer makes I guess.

Wedding plans are moving along - this is the August Wedding. Much to be done but it is moving along. I ended up attending another wedding about 2 weeks ago.. and it was an experience to say the least. I've never been to a traditional African wedding celebration before so I did not know what to expect and considering that the entire thing was not in English. I would have to say that I did a really good job not looking confused at all. The bride was very beautiful and was able to make a dress change. The fashion left me mouth open the entire night. Lets just say I now have several ideas for my own wedding fashion.

Well I have a very busy day tomorrow so Sweetest Dreams to all.....
