Home Sweet Home
Whew! I am telling you it is so GOOD to be home!!
Let me give you the Reader's Digest version of our trip: First, Michael got sick last Sunday (before we left). I kept him home from school on Monday and Monday night he threw up and there was some blood in it. Yuck. So on Tuesday we took him to the doctor and lo and behold, he has strep. In order to make things easy on both him and us, they gave him a shot of Penicillin. By Wednesday morning, he seemed to be doing okay.
Now, during all of this, starting also on Monday night, Michael complained of an itchy eye. He rubbed it so much that the right eye swelled up. Actually, it looked as if something bit him under the eye but after a dose of Benedryl and a cold compress, he was fine. Tuesday afternoon, after the trip to the doctor, it happened again. Okay, fine, another dose of Benedryl and a cold compress and again, fine. Two hours later, his OTHER eye looked like it had a bubble on his lid! I did the cold compress on it and after a little while, it was fine. We did eye drops and again, he was okay.
On the road Wednesday, he complained that his eyes were itchy and to be honest, once we hit Florida we were all feeling all kinds of allergy nonsense. We got to my in-laws and by the time we had dinner, both his eyes were red and puffy. I ran to Walgreens to see if the Pharmacist could recommend anything and he could not - but suggested getting him to an urgent care. It was 9:30 on Thanksgiving Eve, no one was open. I called the pediatrician after-hours hotline and they upped his dose of Benedryl but recommended an urgent care, as well.
Well, when he woke up the next morning, his whole FACE was swollen! It was so scary! We put him in the car, tried one urgent care (it was closed) and then hit the ER. We spent almost FOUR HOURS there to have a doctor say "He's having an allergic reaction to something". Really? You think? They gave him a dose of Prednisone and Benedryl and told us to keep up the Benedryl three times a day for a few days until the swelling goes down. Can I tell you how MISERABLE and tired he was? He slept through Thanksgiving dinner and was pretty much cranky the rest of the time.
Are we having fun yet?
Friday wasn't much better for him. He was still a bit puffy, still cranky. Nick and I went shopping in the morning and then I got a massive migraine. I tried to nap it off but it didn't work out too well. We took Michael for a follow up and were told that he was going to be fine...who knows why he had a reaction but they don't think it was to the Penicillin. We went out to dinner Friday night, shopped some more on Saturday and on Sunday...I got to go to Disney!!
We did "Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party" and it was amazing! We shopped and had lunch at Downtown Disney first and then went and saw the life-size ginger bread house at the Grand Floridian and then hit the Magic Kingdom from 4:30-midnight for the Christmas party. I took about 150 pictures and it felt like we walked about ten miles by the time the day was over!
I could barely walk on Monday and spent most of the day in an exhausted haze. We left Florida this morning around 10 and got home around 7:30. It is now around 10:15 and my laundry is drying, we are completely unpacked and the house is in order. We have school and work in the morning and life is returning to normal.
Life is good...

5 helpful tips for holiday tech shopping
Black Friday has just whizzed by and quick at the heels to follow was Cyber Monday and honestly though we do need to shop for a new television (and I'd love to get a new camera), we weren't bold enough to rush our purchasing decisions over the weekend, brave the crowds and buy just because the prices were slashed. Hubby and I have kept a few things in mind for our future 'BIG BUYS' and here are 5
And the Gift Goes On (Day 30...Final Day of Giving...Or Is It?)
We're on Day 30 of the 30 Day Giving Challenge, i.e. officially the last day of the Challenge around the Blogosphere (For a recap on my 30 day challenge posts, click here).My family (Bunny girl in particular) is a little sad that it has "come to an end".Earlier this afternoon, we stopped by the Salvation Army center to drop off some of our Angel gifts. While there, we bumped into a Corps Officer

CONGRATULATIONS!!This has been a great weekend. I love the time I've been spending with my precious family and our wonderful friends (and how can forget... all that food?!)I know I've not posted any giveaways the past three days and you may be wondering...is it over?Rest assured you still have a good number of days left!! ((Chuckle))I've just reorganized my list and all my resources and guess

Giving Thanks....and Sharing from our Bounty. (TSMSS + Day 27 of Giving)
I'm at the computer after spending three beautiful days with the family(I love the joy that surrounds this season)and ....all that food! ((Whew!))Thank You Lord, I'm so grateful for it all.But even amidst the laughter, chow downs and fun, we kept reminding ourselves not to forget those in need....those not as fortunate as usand now as we're just 3 days away from finishing the the 30 Day Giving
So sorry, my Entrecard friends!!
Okay, so I am kind of on "vacation" but I did bring my laptop with me so that I can still do my e-card dropping. The problem? No Wifi where I am at!
So for all of you who I normally drop on, please do not hate me! I promise to be back to my regular dropping mode by the middle of the week. All this relaxing is killing me!!!
I hope that you all had a blessed Thanksgiving and I will catch up with you soon!!

«Não tenho qualquer má relação com Jorge Jesus, ainda no domingo almoçámos juntos. Agora, na forma de viver, de compromissos com o Benfica, talvez seja diferente, porque nem todos somos iguais. Por exemplo, a minha mulher reclama de eu viver tanto o clube. Mas, repito, na relação com ele não há nada a apontar.»
E é assim que, quando se perde, já não vale a pena referir telefonemas às 2 da manhã para se solicitar a contratação de um qualquer jogador a dar show de bola no PFC. Mas são amigos, até almoçam juntos ao Domingo.
Fico feliz que o nosso presidente preserve as suas amizades. Jorge Jesus, Fernando Santos, Camacho... São todos muito amigos! Tão amigos que, há um ano, ficámos a saber que o nosso treinador era um homem que se identificava com o clube e que, tendo em conta que esta direcção havia sido eleita para um mandato de 3 anos, havia uma certeza de que ele seria o homem certo para desempenhar a função de treinador neste triénio.
São assim as convicções de circunstância... Tanto se passa do benfiquista que está no seu tirocínio a caminho da presidência do Benfica para o gajo que não manda nada e que pouco tem a ver com o sucesso da equipa de futebol como se é obcecado pelo clube e pelo sucesso da equipa para alguém que tem uma forma de estar diferente...
Sinceramente, estou farto disto. Mereço melhor. E não pensem que me considero especial. Tenho consciência que devo ser tratado exactamente da mesma forma que os outros "clientes" do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, do 1º ao 230000º.

Tanto se passa do benfiquista que está no seu tirocínio a caminho da presidência do Benfica para o gajo que não manda nada e que pouco tem a ver com o sucesso da equipa de futebol como se é obcecado pelo clube e pelo sucesso da equipa para alguém que tem uma forma de estar diferente...
Sinceramente, estou farto disto. Mereço melhor. E não pensem que me considero especial. Tenho consciência que devo ser tratado exactamente da mesma forma que os outros "clientes" do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, do 1º ao 230000º.
Stress Mangement...
Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile.
Thanks to the folks over at Comedy Plus...you guys crack me up!
- Picture yourself lying on your tummy on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.
- Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.
- Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
- No one knows your secret place.
- You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.
- The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
- The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.
Thanks to the folks over at Comedy Plus...you guys crack me up!
8 meses depois
Lembro-me bem do que senti quando ganhámos em Marselha. Que satisfação! Que orgulho! Era o regresso do grande Benfica Europeu. Só passaram 8 meses...
Inacreditavel
O futebol tem tanto de belo como de irritante e profundamente injusto. 21 cantos, cerca de 20 remates, maior percentagem de bola e acima de tudo muita, mas mesmo muita incompetência de alguns dos nossos jogadores e muito do nosso treinador. Torna-se cansativo repetir a cada jogo que passa especialmente na Liga dos Campeões a gritante falta de ideias e de competência do catedrático Jorge Jesus. 3 substituições completamente falhadas, sendo que a do Salvio (ou como diz MLeal muito bem o Sepa) por Carlos Martins foi azar, mas a saida de Javi Garcia foi dos maiores erros que tive o "prazer" de testemunhar. É daquelas substituições que na minha opinião deveriam dar rescisão de contrato por justa causa. Gaitan e Aimar a arrastarem-se, Carlos Martins entrou pessimamente, duas torres perdidas na frente, a equipa psicologicamente em baixo, e retira-se o único jogador capaz de recuperar bolas. O resultado está bem à vista, conseguimos perder a vantagem que tínhamos perante esta medíocre equipa, ficando expostos a um mau resultado em casa e a uma surpresa em França. Lamentável.
Parece-me que o PFC deixou de passar na casa de alguém os telefones devem estar avariados e os sinais de fumo também se tornaram indecifraveis, mas sobre isso teremos a certeza na entrevista que LFV dará a assumir as suas responsabilidades!!!

Stop touching me!!!
Back when I was much, much younger, my family took two trips. They were both to Florida and we drove both times. From New York to Florida. Without stopping. I am 41 years old and that last trip I had to be around 7 and yet I STILL have flashbacks to it.
As we prepare to make the drive to visit my in-laws for Thanksgiving, it is exhausting to think of everything that we will need to make sure that everyone is entertained, no one is touching anyone, and that we have everything that we'll need in case of an emergency. I'm telling you, I need a vacation from planning and packing for the vacation!
There are multiple suitcases filled with everything that four people will need for five days. There is a cooler jam packed with sandwiches, drinks and snacks for a ten hour drive so that we don't have to stop for anything. There are portable DVD players so that there will be something for the boys to watch and not have to talk to one another (or us!). There are bags of books, magazines and portable electronic devices guaranteed to keep everyone entertained should everything else fail.
The adults get to...sit and listen to the DVD players that we cannot see, not have radio and generally sit quietly so that the children can hear all of their entertainment. Well, unless I go out and purchase headphones for them so that maybe we, the weary drivers, can actually be entertained.
By the time we arrive at our destination, the last thing I want to do is be near anyone or sit anywhere. My fingers are crossed for a good, safe and friendly trip!

Que Benfica queremos?
Os benfiquistas são muitos. Disso ninguém duvida. Mas nem sempre me parece terem o melhor comportamento para termos um Benfica cada vez maior. Bem sei que a maioria gosta sobretudo ou apenas de futebol, mas não ignoro que boa parte sente orgulho em ser adepto de um clube ecléctico, capaz de nos proporcionar várias alegrias por fim-de-semana, com os sucessos das diferentes modalidades. E, todavia, insistimos em deixá-las quase ao abandono. Sendo certo que o futsal conseguiu cativar um número significativo de benfiquistas, as outras modalidades têm assistências aos seus jogos na Luz muito aquém do que merecem. É muito bom ter cinco equipas a competir na Europa, mas o factor casa deve ser importante nos desfechos dos jogos. Ontem, no início do jogo de basquetebol que permitiu a primeira vitória na fase de grupos da Eurochallenge, o panorama era confrangedor. Pouca gente se encontrava no pavilhão. Entretanto, compôs-se e, com a chegada de um grupo de 20/30 adeptos mais ruidosos, o ambiente animou-se e a assistência acabou por contribuir para o triunfo. Mas a equipa (bicampeã nacional, não esqueçamos) merece muito mais. Espero que, na próxima terça-feira, véspera de feriado, sem jogos da Liga dos Campeões de futebol na televisão, sejamos muito mais. Para bem dos jogadores. Para bem do nosso Benfica. Será que, sendo tantos, não conseguimos juntar em cada jogo das modalidades na Luz pelo menos 1000/1500 pessoas?
For the Love of Susan Mallery!

5 tips for editing digital photos for blog posts
Now since I author a review blog, there are many times I've had to take photographs involving my 2 little ones that feature there face profiles. Being the over-protective Mama Hen, I make sure my photographs feature the products being showcased but not my family.I personally love working on my pictures on Picasa as it is, to put it simply, easy peasy! So here are 5 tips I have to help you edit
Amanhã
Na conferência que antecede o jogo de amanhã, JJ assumiu de extrema importância o resultado do jogo. Obviamente que temos de concordar, um resultado que não seja a vitoria acrescenta pressão e reduz as possibilidades de sucesso num dos objectivos estabelecidos para a presente temporada. Escudado na importância do jogo afirmou que jogaríamos como fazemos em 90% dos jogos, o que na essência é aceitável desde que sejam corrigidas as lacunas evidenciadas nos jogos anteriores, a saber:
- Os jogadores a jogarem nas suas posições naturais;
- Javi Garcia não pode jogar sozinho no meio campo, seria importante ter ajuda, penso que mantendo a esquemática que apresentamos Ruben Amorim poderá ser a peça de equilíbrio que tem faltado (se apresentar condições físicas condizentes com a dificuldade do jogo);
- Atitude competitiva, ambição, concentração máxima.
O que não gostei nada de ouvir/ler foi a duvida veiculada pelo nosso treinador em relação ao ponta de lança a utilizar de inicio. Kardec tem vindo a jogar enquanto Cardozo procura a melhor forma, penso que foi escusada a menção da duvida pois fragiliza o primeiro. Há coisas que por mais que nos assaltem o espírito deveremos guardar para nós, julgo que esta era uma delas.

Some simple truths...
Okay, so I totally borrowed this from Comedy Plus...a very funny site. I hope this makes you all laugh and I guarantee you will be able to relate to at least SOME of them!
- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
- Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
- I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
- There is great need for a sarcasm font.
- How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
- Was learning cursive really necessary?
- Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
- I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
- Bad decisions make good stories.
- You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
- Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
- I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
- "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.
- I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? **** it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
Este sim é Benfiquista!
Esta imagem vale por mil palavras, alguém que sente e que vive o Benfica como um adepto, que sente e ama o clube e tudo o que representa, nunca o ouvimos falar contra o Benfica, nunca o vimos abraçado ao Pinto da Costa, nunca chorou na comunicação social por isto ou por aquilo. Foi vendido à Fiorentina em detrimento do Barcelona e nunca ouvi um lamento, chorou sim quando jogou com o Benfica pela Fiorentina num amigavel e marcou um golo contra o seu coração. Chorou ele e chorámos nós e aplaudimos.Estes gestos identificam o ser humano, este sim é um benfiquista de corpo e alma e lá estava ele ontem a ver o jogo de Voleibol porque o Benfica é um todo e é um Mundo, Rui Costa prova que não era só mais um jogador de futebol, é um homem do desporto em toda a sua plenitude, que compreende a relação entre o desporto e a vida, que considera que o exemplo é um factor social de grande importância, que é humilde, que é correcto, e que é também um dos maiores benfiquistas de todos os tempos .

Another NaNoWriMo Update...
Okay, so here we are coming in to the home stretch and I am at...drumroll please...
37,000 words.
WOO-Freakin-HOO!
It has been such a struggle to get things down on paper or typed up or however you want to say it. I am not a consistent writer, that's the real problem. I am easily distracted and ideally, I would not be doing this at home. This was the week from hell and my writing time was next to none.
Oh, and did I mention that I don't really HAVE until the 30th to finish? No, I have until Tuesday night to finish because we leave Wednesday morning for our Thanksgiving trip and I don't think I'll have time to write while we're away and we won't be back until the 30th. So really, time is certainly NOT on my side.
Oh, and on Sunday I am cooking an early Thanksgiving feast for family and friends, Monday I am helping a friend with a cleaning job, followed by an appointment at human services and then on to the doctor and Tuesday I have a 90 minute class. PLUS...I have to get our family of four packed and ready to leave.
Can somebody tell me where I'm going to find the time to write 13,000 more words???
Please???

I didn't completely go off the deep end...
but it was close.
The good news is that the van now has a brand new alternator and battery. Frank installed them both and the van is running. But...now there is a squealing sound.
REALLY???
At this point, I don't know what to do with him OR the van. I'm tired of hearing about it. As I'm sure most of you are. But on another note of annoyance...my husband fell asleep on the bed like an hour ago (around 9:30) and he normally stays up until 2 a.m. Now, I cannot move him or wake him up and cannot get myself in to the bed because he is on top of all the blankets in the MIDDLE of the bed.
Seriously, at any given moment you are either going to be seeing a story about me on the 11:00 news or on America's Most Wanted because I am losing it BIG TIME.
I have a doctor's appointment in the morning with a new practice and when I called them today the "dude" that answered the phone (on speaker phone) was CLEARLY put out by the fact that I wanted an appointment. If I come to find out that it was the actual DOCTOR with the attitude, it will be my first and LAST visit.
I got to run around and do my own thing today - no errands to mechanics or auto part stores and it felt glorious. I went to the dry cleaner, the post office, food shopping at two different grocery stores...it was nirvana! I took a friend out for ice cream and I actually got to drive! It's the little things really that make me happy.
I got a call from my sister today that she was worried about our dad. He lost his business and can't find a job and he is full of despair...much like the rest of the country. As it turns out, Crazy Nancy decided to put her two cents in and contact my sister to voice her concern. Really? Now you're concerned, psycho? How about giving him back all of the money you stole from him? That might show that you were really concerned. I mean, how much longer are we going to have to deal with this messed up, jacked up lunatic before she just goes away?
I called dad. We talked and you know what? We're all in the same boat and it sucks. There is no other way to put it. His situation is a little worse because he's not talking to my stepbrother and so he has no family there for him for the holidays. I understand. There were MANY holidays that I wished I had family come and visit...but none did. Well, that's not true; my grandma was with me for the first four years we were here and my in-laws always came for Thanksgiving and my sister-in-law and her family came for a lot of Easters. I can't say that I feel bad for him, but I understand his sadness. Life is just sucky sometimes.
After my appointment with Dr. Personality, I have to power clean the house because we are celebrating an early Thanksgiving with some friends. I am looking forward to that. I LOVE cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Strange, right?
Anyone have any fun plans for the holiday?

I need a break!!!
So today officially SUCKED.
I had barely 24 hours of freedom with my own vehicle before the van died. Frank was kind enough to wake me up at 1 a.m. to inform me of this situation. Why? No one knows. I mean, really? Was I supposed to get up and fix the darn thing? All he managed to do was to wake me up and make me worry. Luckily Nick was working today so I just borrowed his car to run my errands.
Oh...the errands.
In a nutshell, follow the craziness...
1. Went to town hall to pay my electric and water bill. Dropped them in the drop box.
2. Went by the mechanic to see about a battery he was checking on for us. It was the one that came with the van but didn't work. It was bad. This left us in a pinch because when the van died last night, it was battery/alternator related. Frank told me that I needed to go home and pull the battery out of the van and have it tested. This battery is from the van that has no transmission and we used the battery from it when we couldn't get the new van running on Monday. Right, because I am known for my engine repair skills, I'll get right on that.
3. Went to the auto part store to pick up an alternator
It was all down hill from there.
When I got home, there was a truck parked out front from the town. They were shutting off our power. I'm like "WHAT?? I JUST PAID THE BILL!" Keep in mind that I have lived in this town, in this house for 15 years. I have paid my electric bill on the 18th for as long as I could remember. Apparently, they have changed the way that they are doing things (including the billing cycle) and so my due date is no longer my due date and they will no longer be issuing notices to let you know that you are about to be turned off. So now I have no electricity and no idea when it will be turned back on. Fabulous.
I get in the car and call Frank, ready to cry and he's like "I knew you were freakin going to call me about this" (meaning, the battery). And he had a "tone" that just threw me over the edge. There was much yelling and venting (on my part) and I reminded him that I am NOT a mechanic and for somebody who cannot do a load of laundry without my holding his hand, how DARE he get pissy about me not being able to remove the dang battery! I explained all that happened with the electric bill and he's like "So?" Sure, no big deal for him. He is somewhere that there is ELECTRICITY!! We argued about the rules and whatnot and then got back to the battery issue. I'm like, I am not doing this. I have no idea what the tools look like that I need and really, his workbench is a mess. He tells me (quite emphatically) how organized his tools are.
Really? That's your argument here, your tools are organized and therefore I should be able to remove the battery. And you know, just to be clear, it's not that I couldn't do the job, I'm sure that once I found the tools, I could have done it. It was the arrogance and the demand that I do it that pissed me off. When I am in crisis, I do not get that kind of quick-service, jump up and "Let me get that for you, honey" like he is demanding from me. Truth be known, I told him Monday night to get the alternator and put it in. I had the auto part store on the phone HOLDING one for us. But no, what do I know? Now, because of his refusal to listen, we killed a second battery that we had to buy. That's $100 I'll never see again. Thanks for listening, sweetheart!
I get home and Nick is like "Well? Did you pay the bill?" and honestly, I just broke down. I cried like I have not cried in years! I curled up on the bed in the fetal position and just bawled for a while.
In the meantime, my son, in the ultimate act of generosity, walked outside, called his father and pulled the battery himself. My hero! We dropped that battery off at the mechanic, dropped Nick off at work, drove in to Raleigh to Sears to exchange some socket wrench thing that needed to be replaced, drove to where Frank was working because he had my car and I needed my phone charger from it (since I had no freakin electricity, and my phone was about to die, it was my only option), put gas in Nick's car, shopped at Target and then grabbed myself some lunch and was prepared to eat it in the silence of my home.
I got back here, sat down, pulled out the laptop and put a DVD in and after one bite of my chicken sandwich, I saw the guy from the town go by the window to turn the power back on! YEAH!! By now the mechanic called to say that battery number two is bad and we'll need another one. I call five different places to get the best price on a battery, wait for Michael to get home, go pick up the battery (after getting the old one from the mechanic to trade in), head home, work on some freelance articles that I had due today, went shopping for items for our Operation Christmas Child shoe box, picked Nick up from work, came home, finished the freelance articles and ordered Chinese food.
I am mentally whipped.
I had barely 24 hours of freedom with my own vehicle before the van died. Frank was kind enough to wake me up at 1 a.m. to inform me of this situation. Why? No one knows. I mean, really? Was I supposed to get up and fix the darn thing? All he managed to do was to wake me up and make me worry. Luckily Nick was working today so I just borrowed his car to run my errands.
Oh...the errands.
In a nutshell, follow the craziness...
1. Went to town hall to pay my electric and water bill. Dropped them in the drop box.
2. Went by the mechanic to see about a battery he was checking on for us. It was the one that came with the van but didn't work. It was bad. This left us in a pinch because when the van died last night, it was battery/alternator related. Frank told me that I needed to go home and pull the battery out of the van and have it tested. This battery is from the van that has no transmission and we used the battery from it when we couldn't get the new van running on Monday. Right, because I am known for my engine repair skills, I'll get right on that.
3. Went to the auto part store to pick up an alternator
It was all down hill from there.
When I got home, there was a truck parked out front from the town. They were shutting off our power. I'm like "WHAT?? I JUST PAID THE BILL!" Keep in mind that I have lived in this town, in this house for 15 years. I have paid my electric bill on the 18th for as long as I could remember. Apparently, they have changed the way that they are doing things (including the billing cycle) and so my due date is no longer my due date and they will no longer be issuing notices to let you know that you are about to be turned off. So now I have no electricity and no idea when it will be turned back on. Fabulous.
I get in the car and call Frank, ready to cry and he's like "I knew you were freakin going to call me about this" (meaning, the battery). And he had a "tone" that just threw me over the edge. There was much yelling and venting (on my part) and I reminded him that I am NOT a mechanic and for somebody who cannot do a load of laundry without my holding his hand, how DARE he get pissy about me not being able to remove the dang battery! I explained all that happened with the electric bill and he's like "So?" Sure, no big deal for him. He is somewhere that there is ELECTRICITY!! We argued about the rules and whatnot and then got back to the battery issue. I'm like, I am not doing this. I have no idea what the tools look like that I need and really, his workbench is a mess. He tells me (quite emphatically) how organized his tools are.
Really? That's your argument here, your tools are organized and therefore I should be able to remove the battery. And you know, just to be clear, it's not that I couldn't do the job, I'm sure that once I found the tools, I could have done it. It was the arrogance and the demand that I do it that pissed me off. When I am in crisis, I do not get that kind of quick-service, jump up and "Let me get that for you, honey" like he is demanding from me. Truth be known, I told him Monday night to get the alternator and put it in. I had the auto part store on the phone HOLDING one for us. But no, what do I know? Now, because of his refusal to listen, we killed a second battery that we had to buy. That's $100 I'll never see again. Thanks for listening, sweetheart!
I get home and Nick is like "Well? Did you pay the bill?" and honestly, I just broke down. I cried like I have not cried in years! I curled up on the bed in the fetal position and just bawled for a while.
In the meantime, my son, in the ultimate act of generosity, walked outside, called his father and pulled the battery himself. My hero! We dropped that battery off at the mechanic, dropped Nick off at work, drove in to Raleigh to Sears to exchange some socket wrench thing that needed to be replaced, drove to where Frank was working because he had my car and I needed my phone charger from it (since I had no freakin electricity, and my phone was about to die, it was my only option), put gas in Nick's car, shopped at Target and then grabbed myself some lunch and was prepared to eat it in the silence of my home.
I got back here, sat down, pulled out the laptop and put a DVD in and after one bite of my chicken sandwich, I saw the guy from the town go by the window to turn the power back on! YEAH!! By now the mechanic called to say that battery number two is bad and we'll need another one. I call five different places to get the best price on a battery, wait for Michael to get home, go pick up the battery (after getting the old one from the mechanic to trade in), head home, work on some freelance articles that I had due today, went shopping for items for our Operation Christmas Child shoe box, picked Nick up from work, came home, finished the freelance articles and ordered Chinese food.

10 tips for weaving the 'in' runway trends into your day-to-day looks
When you're a Mom, it's not always easy looking like you just walked off the front cover of a magazine. It always tickles Hubby to see how Bunny girl and Bunny Boo will be impeccably dressed for church on Sunday morning or to a 'fancy party' while I will be hurriedly slipping on the closest ironed 'appropriate for the day' outfit but still looking like the cat dragged me in!My sister is always on
14 ways to have a fresh and festive holiday
My all time favorite holiday in the year is Christmas. Our family loves celebrating the birth of Christ. We try to get our home ready for this beautiful season early and do our best in dilly dallying to delay putting away all the decorations in January. In celebration of all things Christmas (yes including the awesome Christmas Carnival of Giveaways and the 30 day giving Challenge), I thought it
Put a smile on the face of the elderly (Day 18 of Giving )
Earlier this morning, Bunny Boo and I spent some time at Bunny girl's preschool watching a performance. Once the show ended, the kids trooped back to their classrooms while we slowly headed off to the parking lot to drive back home.Around the same time, a group of elderly folk had been dispersed from their morning Bible study and were slowly making their way to their respective rides back home.

Is it wrong??
Seriously, is it wrong to just want to sleep all day? It's like I cannot fall asleep before 11:30 which makes me crazy and then when the alarm goes off at 6:15 I am exhausted. I want a day where I can sleep until...whenever the heck I want!
And you know what? It is NOT easy to go back to sleep after Michael leaves for school because by that time, I've been up for over an hour. Then Frank comes back to get ready for work and believe me, he is NOT quiet. By 9 a.m. the phone will ring at least once and scare me to the point of having a near heart attack and then I will realize that I'm too awake to go back to sleep and want something to eat. I won't eat, however, because I'm not a fan of breakfast foods so I'll convince myself to wait until lunch. By 10:30 a.m. I will want to throw up because I am so hungry and then will remember that I forgot to take my thyroid medicine which requires me to wait an hour before eating.
So by 11:30 I am not feeling the hunger anymore but psychologically I feel like I should eat. So I will start the hour-long debate of "what do i want for lunch?" Yes, this debate happens daily because I am one of those people who has to eat something specific, something that I am totally in the mood for and that causes all kinds of grief, anxiety and sometimes crying because there is usually nothing here that I want and so I will have to get in the car and get something. This was a HUGE problem when I had no car. But that dilemma is over with.
I'll end up eating somewhere around 1 p.m. and by two, I am sleepy and remembering that I wish I could have slept in earlier and then contemplate a nap. By the time I argue that with myself, it is too late to nap because Michael will get home at 3:30. There is the whole getting home from school ritual of talking about his day, discussing homework and whatnot and then before I know it, it's time to start thinking about dinner.
The whole dang day is done and nothing has been accomplished and most of it could have been avoided if I could just sleep the whole dang day away. Don't you agree?

Happiness is a Warm Puppy...and other things...
Okay, so back when I was little, I had open heart surgery. I must have gotten every toy that was on the market. I had every Weebles playset known to man and a good assortment of dolls. I can remember my grandparents giving me a small/portable black and white tv for my room at home! Something my kids would laugh at today.But somewhere around that time I got a book called "Happiness is a Warm Puppy" by Charles Schultz, the creator of the Peanuts. Now, I was a HUGE Peanuts fan. My grandfather called me every time there was a Charlie Brown special on the TV and I have to tell you, that is something that makes me tear up to this day! My kids never got to experience anything like that so Frank and I make a big deal when these specials come on and I probably blather on with the same "Grandpa used to call me" story until the boys want to throw something heavy at me!
Anyway, a couple of years ago I was sitting in this little ice cream shop that was here in the historic district. There were many little rooms in it and they held parties and whatnot there but in each room there was a small bookshelf with an assortment of old books. Lo and behold, what did I find but a copy of the old "Happiness is a Warm Puppy"! I almost cried!! I was there with a friend and she went to the owner and shared my story and the woman gave me the book! I cherish that.
So the other night I am out with the girls and we are in the Hallmark store in the mall and what do I see but a display of items from the "Happiness..." book! I had no choice, friends, I HAD to buy the tiny little Snoopy! He was the very first thing that I learned to draw when I was a little girl and I don't know why, but this tiny little stuffed animal just makes me happy. Now for something really snarky that makes me happy. The post couldn't be too darn sweet, could it? Okay, so I'm on Facebook the other night and someone sends me a picture of an ex-boyfriend of mine. This is the guy who pretty much dragged me through the pits of hell with his selfishness and arrogance and I thank GOD every day that my mother stepped in when she did (even though I didn't appreciate it at the time) and forced me to not date him anymore. But here's the funny thing, he was so cocky and arrogant about his looks. He actually had a swagger. His hair was his obsession. Do you see where I'm heading with this? Well, as of today he is BALD, not at all attractive, he's got some sort of Foo-Man-Chu mustache going on that looks ridiculous, he's on this third wife (who is much younger) and she is fatter than me.
CLEARLY I am the winner in that breakup!!
Sure, it's petty and childish but you know what, THAT made me happy too!!

It's Here! It's Here! It's Here!!
Honestly, this is the most exciting thing to happen to me in a long time.
The van is here!!!
It took a LOT of time and effort to get it in to our driveway, but it is there and right now Frank is outside getting ready to put in a new fuel pump. Then...I get to wash it (and yes, I actually ASKED to do that) because it is filthy and then, the very best thing gets to happen...
I get my car back.
All mine.
All the time.
But first I'll have to power clean it to get rid of the painter debris that is ALL OVER IT!
I'm giddy! This is like the best news I have had in a long, long time! And you know what? None of this would not have happened if I did not have people praying for us and one friend in particular who made it all happen - he actually FOUND the van, checked it out for us, helped us get it moved here to the house AND removed the old fuel pump so that Frank could install the new one today.
So to our dear, wonderful, awesome friend Joe...you are my hero!!!

Proposta
Aproveito para anunciar que começarei, brevemente, a recolher assinaturas para propor, em assembleia geral, a alteração do nome do nosso clube para "Clube dos Amigos do Nuno Gomes".
Sinceramente, que palermice. Então o Benfica dá 4-0 com dois grandes golos do Gaitán e tem, no seu Guarda-Redes, outrora tão posto em dúvida, um dos grandes artificies desta vitória, e a malta reduz o jogo ao golo do nosso capitão?
Mas que mania esta. Ainda por cima, um golo aos 87 minutos, a ganharmos por 3-0 contra a pior defesa, incluindo Arouca, que jogou no Estádio da Luz esta época. E sem contar que foi um golo surgido de um mau atraso de um defesa contrário seguido de uma perda de bola do GR fora da área. Dar mais jogo ao Nuno Gomes? Tenham paciência.
O Nuno Gomes é um símbolo do Benfica e o 10º melhor marcador de sempre de águia ao peito. Infelizmente, um símbolo de um Benfica perdedor, embora a culpa não seja (só) dele. Marcou 0,4 golos por jogo ao longo da sua carreira. Antes de ir para Itália, em 3 épocas, marcou 76 golos. Entretanto, desde que regressou, já são 9 épocas de águia ao peito e marcou 86 golos. Nas últimas 3 épocas marcou 22... Jogar mais? Enfim...

A visita
Depois de ter concordado integralmente com as 10 razões para os 10 pontos de atraso que o Glorioso11385 avançou esta semana e de já ter referido grande parte delas em Agosto e Setembro, seria incoerente se não compreendesse, agora, a indignação dos sócios do Benfica face ao desempenho da nossa equipa de futebol esta época. Compreendo-a, sinto-a e nem sequer me surpreende que tenhamos chegado a este ponto em Novembro.
O que não compreendo é a ligeireza com que se está a tratar que um grupo de sócios se junte e, numa acção claramente intimidatória, interrompa um treino da equipa para, em pleno relvado, conversar sobre o momento da equipa com o treinador e jogadores.
Não será por achar que os jogadores devam estar num pedestal para que ninguém lhes chegue e onde somente sejam adolados. Não será por considerar que um treinador do Benfica esteja acima de quaisquer manifestações de crítica. E muito menos será por entender que o Benfica deverá ter castas de sócios onde apenas alguns poderão contactar directamente o poder instituído ou os ídolos.
Recordo-me, ainda no estádio antigo, antes de um treino quando jogava basket na formação do Benfica, de ter entrado nas bancadas com dois colegas para ver o treino à porta fechada da equipa de futebol. Passados uns minutos, um dos treinadores apitou em direcção a nós e gritou que teríamos que sair. Éramos putos, não éramos 100 e não pertencíamos à claque. O treino parou à espera que saíssemos e ninguém conversou connosco sobre o desempenho da equipa nessa altura.
Agora, constato que a conversa ocorrida ontem se tratou de uma "situação normal". Tão normal como aquela ocorrida há uns anos no Olival. Sim, essa mesma que todos gozámos na altura por se tratar do porto e da sua claque organizada.
Por apoiarem e acompanharem a equipa nos jogos fora, o que, refira-se, não é exclusivo da claque, parecem julgar-se detentores de direitos próprios, aliás, como já se havia verificado numa assembleia-geral, há uns dois anos.
Foi um acto inadmissível, mesmo que a violência física, que não existiu, nunca sequer tenha sido equacionada. E fico pasmado que o nosso presidente se cale, o director de comunicação desvalorize e o treinador quase justifique esta acção de alguns associados do nosso clube.
Estive no dragão a época passada e senti a adrenalina de ver a nossa claque, e muitos outros adeptos, a apoiarem a nossa equipa num ambiente muito adverso mas todos, sem excepção, estavam lá porque gostam do Benfica e porque quiseram. Tal não lhes confere direitos especiais e seriam bom que o compreendessem. O Benfica é um clube democrático que, dos seus sócios, necessita de participação activa e apoio. Não precisa de braços armados ou milícias. Isto não é o porto nem o sportem. E gostaria de pensar que, ainda assim, os no name boys não são os super dragões ou a juve leo...

Vans, Sunday school and stuff...
Okay, so no sitting in the van Saturday night because we could not pick up the van. I have to admit, I think I was more upset than Frank. It's like these people are holding the key to my prison cell and they are not willing to let me out! I know that is not really the case but that's what it feels like. So the plan is to pick up the van some time today in the afternoon. I am hoping that it will be while it is still light out so that he can actually get the fuel pump off and just have to put the new on on on Monday morning.
I'm having Sunday school issues. I have to be honest, I have been a Christian for almost 15 years and until this last year, I have NEVER gone to Sunday school. I go to church, I listen to the sermon, I go to a small group once a week...Sunday school is just not my thing. This time last year, I had signed up for a Sunday School on the book of "Hebrews". I was excited about it but the teacher was just awful. I mean, he was a bit condescending and he apparently was used to teaching seminary students because he used a lot of "As we all know..." or "As I'm sure you've memorized..." You know what? I did NOT know and I had NOT memorized and he made me feel like an idiot and so I did not go back to the class after the first two.
This time around I was excited about the class I signed up for and while the topic is great (Tough Questions), the way the class is run is not. The teacher breaks us up in to discussion groups to go over his outline. I know this is going to sound stupid and picky, but I do NOT learn well in a discussion setting. When there is a lot of noise going on around me, I cannot hear what is being said in my group and I get overly confused and end up hearing bits and pieces of everyone's discussion. I end up getting frustrated and annoyed and just wanting to leave.
The main problem is that my entire small group goes to this school and I don't want to be the Sunday school drop out but really, I'm at the point where I'm just going to be seen by them. So do I stay or should I go?? I just don't know!
I haven't written anything for NaNoWriMo in DAYS!
I had a donut from Dunkin Donuts the other night WITH a chocolate milkshake. Is that wrong?
I have the best friends in the world. I had an awesome girls night on Friday night and it was just exactly what I needed.
Hopefully, today will go as planned and by Monday, there will be a working van in my driveway and I will be driving my own car again.
