I get so mad at people sometimes. the narrow-mindedness of the general public has been an anchor around my neck for so long that sometimes I feel like it just isn’t worth it to bother with them at all. It is such a pain to be a good looking woman in today’s world. Not that I mind men hitting on me constantly, but the looks I get when I leave the bar on the arm of another good looking woman! And the commentary! Arrgghhhh! I could just scream! One of these days I’d like to find a place where none of it matters to anyone. I have so few male friends who really get it, and the only problem with that is that most of those that do get it are bigger bitches than I am! Don’t mind me, sometimes I just need to vent a little. Besides, crying ruins my makeup.

I’m afraid that the beginning of a new month only means that I have a ton of bills that need to be paid. Bill paying is something that I don’t enjoy one bit. I have though just recently turned to paying most of them on-line, which is saving me time and money in the long run, I was a bit nervious at first but every time I do it it gets easier and less nerve racking.

My sister is urging me to try and do my monthly bills through my bank that offers free on-line bill paying, but I keep putting that off. I seem to have everything under control the way that I am doing now and am not looking forward to having to input all of the information needed in order to go that route, maybe one day, but not any time soon.

As far back as I can remember I have always had a soft spot for animals and coming from parents who did not allow any type of animals or pets it made it real difficult for me. I desperately wanted a cat or dog that I could shower with my affection and it would love me unconditionally, which is was I craved so much as a kid. I remember wanting to be a veterinarian when I grew up because I was so fascinated with god’s creatures.

Boy I tell ya I couldn’t wait to get out of that house and into one all of my own and you can believe that I have had all kinds of critters at any of the places that I have been able to call my own. I’ve had several cats and dogs, snakes, ferrets, mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards and a variety of birds in the past and still have a small zoo going on presently. I wouldn’t have it any other way!

“Kool-Aid, Kool-Aid tastes great, wish we had some, can’t wait!” Do you remember that song from the Kool-Aid commercials. I love Kool-Aid, always have and always will. I get harassed sometimes by people when they find out that I am a Kool-Aid fanatic. Most folks love their soda or iced tea, not me – I have to have my Kool-Aid, and it has to be red. I don’t like any of the flavors that they have come out with recently, I have given them a try, but the cherry and the black cherry are my favorites and the fruit punch isn’t bad either if they do not have any cherry flavors for what ever reason.

I even looked to see if there was a Kool-Aid web-site and was delighted to find that there is one, it is called KoolSpace and it helped me find what stores locally that I could find my favorite flavors at, I was hoping for some coupons or something, which I didn’t find, but that is O.K, it is so cheap that I don’t mind paying full price for it.

My mother just emailed me with some bothersome news. She went for her yearly check up and one of the things they did was a bone density test on her and she tells me that now she has been informed that she needs to start calcium pills and that they are thinking of also putting her on a prescription such as Fosomax or Boniva in order to start building her fragile bones back and keep the Osteoporosis issue at bay. I’m glad that they caught this thing early on, she should be able to reverse the situation if she does what she is told to do, and I aim to keep on her about this when I communicate with her each time.

It seems that this health issue is heredity, so I need to start planning ahead and make sure that I can absorb as much calcium as I can, it is never too late, although I am told that your body stops building your bone mass at the age of 21 and it is all down hill from there – unless you put the correct amount of calcium into your daily diet all of your life. I am built just like my mother, small framed and both of us are smokers, this puts us at serious risk for Osteoporosis.

Looks like I’ve got some work to do and I mean to do it!
