Love? Really?

When I was talking to Susan the other day, she wanted to know why I had yet to marry or even be engaged. She thought that was a little odd for a 44 year old woman.

I told her that I see what goes on around me and figure, why put myself through that? My Mom was married five times, everyone in my family has been married at least once, many of my friends/family are going through breakups, my son was devastated here two years ago when he and his girlfriend of six years broke up…don’t see a big plus side to love and/or marriage.

My brother, of course, would disagree because he has found a woman who “rocks his world” – I have to admit, I’ve never found someone that moved me the way she moves him. His daughter is going through a painful breakup right now though so maybe she’d agree more with me?

Someone once said “to love and feel loss is better then never to have loved at all” or something along those lines. I’m afraid I have to disagree. I say “learn from other people’s experiences & save yourself a lot of heartache.”

Home on Vacation Again

Well, I went to work today and they told me I was still on vacation – I cancelled it over a month ago but hey, who am I to argue? They told me I’m off again tomorrow to but I don’t think I have enough vacation time to cover that whole day. I will have to call and talk to a supervisor tomorrow.

So, you may ask, what did I do with my day off? I pretty much tried to do research on rustic camping for my June trip to Wyoming. For all the internet has – I couldn’t find any great sites on the area of Wyoming I want to visit. Really have little clue what it looks like there and it drives me nuts.

I have pretty much picked the cabin which is in a lot of timber but how close is it to the Tetons? I don’t know. I’d like to see more pictures of the general area but have had no luck whatsoever. It would be nice to have a view of the mountains if possible.

There are many things on the list of stuff we need that I plan to start buying a little at a time. I have a big blue tote that I can store the stuff in until we go. I don’t know how much vacation time I will have – I would like to drive up to IC but that might be pushing it since we have to drive on to Wyoming. I’d like to take my dog (if I have one by then) so driving would be easier.

My eye is worse today then it has been since this whole thing started a month ago. I think it is because I tried putting some allergy drops in it – man did that burn. Now it won’t stop watering and getting gunky. I took some allergy pills that are suppose to dry it up but it hasn’t worked. Might have to call the doctor for it I guess.

Well, on to other things. Be safe people and remember, it’s a jungle out there.

Walgreens

I like went to like Walgreens like to get some like allergy stuff. I got like what I thought like I might like want. Like, while I was there like this blond like girl who was the epitome of like the valley like girl was like in there telling like her boyfriend about like earrings she like almost bought at like Kmart the other day. She like liked them but like she didn’t know like where she would like wear them.

She like chatted constantly using like like every other like word. They like stood next to me like while I was like looking at allergy like medicine and I so badly like wanted to turn like to her and say “Like, do you know how dumb you sound when you use like all the time?” But I like refrained myself cuz I figured like she wasn’t my like kid.

I’ll tell you what – if my son ever dated a girl similar to her, I’d have to strongly object – probably even threaten to change my will. OMG – it drives a person like nuts. Sorry, could resist one more.

Ever Wonder?

I was wondering something this morning so figured I’d just write about it.

At the end of a movie – like take “Breed” as an example – some of the people survive and get back to civilization. I wonder, if it were real life of course, how would they explain the deaths of their friends? The authorities would go and shoot all the dogs on the island. I guess that movie is a bad example.

Let’s take “Deep Rising” – how are they going to explain the death of their friend & a boat load of people? How many authorities are going to believe a story about a sea creature that invaded the boat killing hundreds? Not many. Then the survivors blew up the boat so there is no going back to look for signs of the creature the survivors described. Another one is “Deepstar 6″ – they blew up the station and the monster so whose going to believe them about the deaths of their friends?

The Breed, at least two of the survivors were bitten so the authorities would have to agree it was dogs. That was a nice little island – I’d have the authorities go kill the dogs, thoroughly search the area, and go back to live in that awesome house.

I know we aren’t suppose to wonder about what happens after the ending – we are given a happy ending in that the main character survived and that is suppose to be good enough. But I still wonder…

Men and Directions

I have to say that most of the killings in the scary movies can be blamed on men who refuse to stop and ask directions. They all become victims because the men are going to try “shortcuts” that are suppose to take them “back to the highway” when it really gets them in some deep woods, deep shit scenario. Look at “Hills Have Eyes”, “Wolf Creek”, “Wrong Turn”, “Wax Museum”…etc.

The Sci-fi channel is doing helpful Halloween tips – one was “If your sister starts growing fur, she isn’t your sister anymore” and another one was “If you build a doomsday device, don’t leave it on standby.” Found them both rather humorous.

But anyway, the scary movies just go to show that women should not count on men when it comes to keeping them safe on road trips. Also, if the man ever comes up with the bright idea of a “short cut” it would probably be better just to cut his balls off right then because you know some psycho, genetically altered, inbred, dipshit is going to have them for supper anyway.

Dumb “B” Movies

Well have gotten my list pretty much finished. Actually have gotten more done then I thought I would and it’s only 7pm.

I’ve had sci-fi on off and on all day cuz on Saturdays they play “b” rated moves. There were several on today that I didn’t watch such as “Lord of the Jungle”, “Bigfoot”, one on large prehistoric birds, “Abominal” and then “Headless Horseman”.

The first was about a killer king kong – the second pretty much speaks for itself – though I didn’t watch either of them. The prehistoric birds I caught bits and pieces of between cleaning. Unfortunately, I did watch “Abominal” because it had some stars I actually recognized but who all died pretty early on in the movie – including Dee Williams from Cujo. It was pretty stupid and the snowman thing was incrediably fake looking.

The Sci-Fi channel keeps advertizing the “Horrorfest” which is 8 scary films, one each night. I do question their logic in having it in November when the whole premise of “Horrorfest” is that it is done around Halloween…not Thanksgiving. Think they have their holidays mixed up.
