I have a medical condition, one I do not talk about in specifics to even my closest friends, I can only think of 5 people who know. So today I was looking up support groups and didnt find much for local but I found an online group. There was a pinned story about pregnancy and the strength of these women just made me cry. Many men and women without children said don't do it but the stories of those who did and how wonderful they are, just made me cry. Many also said their disease was not passed on to their children which gives me so much hope. Not that I want kids now but the idea that I could but really shouldnt, made me very sad.
I did also call people about renting the house. I looked at 3 places and talked to 2 of them. They are all identical so now all I need to do is decide between my friends firm and the lady who sold us our house. I am getting references. If good it is leaning toward the friends firm because one of their references is a friend from Church.
WOOHOO!!! My nose started running I feel safe taking my sinus drugs for this damn headache
I need to go clean the kitchen

Lately the bad seems to outnumber the good
ok so I am deciding to write this all down. I am in hell Augusta is hell my one last safe bastion of peace was sullied by someone who chose the need to invade my personal space. Lets start at the beginning
Bad: a few weeks ago I learned they will be building a commercial development behind my house, I found out from the backhoe driver taring out the trees that were my fence.
Bad: This new orders system sucks ass
Bad: to finish school (Diploma in Computer Programming), I will have to basically go out of business, the classes I need are only offered from 10AM - 3PM
Bad: a class I really want to take and is important in the industry is at the same time as a class I am required to take.
Good: Java, the class I want, is taught by a teacher who sucks. They announced one of the best teachers will be teaching it at night in a couple quarters, I am willing to pay for it.
Bad: Mom calls panicked because stepdad is acting more off than usual. He ends up in the hospital again after I told her about the nurse care line.
Good: he was in one day, it was a combo of fever and dehydration.
Good: I am working constantly
Bad: I m working constantly
Good: hubbs and I celebrated 3 years of marriage. He planned a trip to get me away for a night. We were going to stay at a nice hotel, get massages and go to the ATL Aquarium.
Bad: cellphone fried.
Good: cellphone under warranty and I still had my old cell.
Bad: hotel computer system screwed up, we didn't go to the aquarium.
Good: we rolled with it and still had a good time.
Good: Stressful out of the ordinary church service went well
Bad: someone at church went into my purse and stole my digi camera, leaving the camera bag.
Good: the church will replace it but I feel bad about that however i cannot afford to replace it. It was a nice camera my mom bought me and hubbs for all the help while stepdad was sick.
Good: I have a wonderful husband that loves me and I love him
The quarter is ending so I have a ton of shit to get done including a number of programs to write.
Oh yeah and we still have no clue where we are going and what hubbs will be doing next

Oh the things we learn
Tonight I went out with some friends and we were sitting in a restaurant eating when I said the word "renege" which I pronounce renig. I was telling a girlfriend that she needed to renege on her plans and get her butt to work on a project for school instead. I guess this drew looks from the African American family behind me and 2 of the guys with me explained how it is a racial slur. Well I grew up using this word and my father would have never allowed me to use a racial slur. Well needless to say I felt pretty bad. So being the nerd that I am I came home and looked it up. Well it is not a racial slur except in the "overheated imagination of the south" as one great blog put it. It does not have its origins in slavery nor does it refer to the spades cards in card playing but it does have a card playing definition. Here is the definition for all to see, thanks to dictionary.com

Wiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!
Yet another whirlwind trip through So Cal is over and done with. This time it was 12 days instead of the obligatory 4, that we tend to make quite often. The drive to Charlotte was not bad at all but it was dam cold. There were chunks of ice floating in a foutain that we drove by at 9am in the morning. The flight out was uneventful but hella long, the airline decided against informing us of a 2 hour layover but not a plane switch. Well the stewardesses made it very clear they wanted us off the plane so off we got. The rest of the trip in was nie an peaceful.
Well That was Friday. Saturday morning we were off to Ontario to meet up with an old friend, I have known her over 20 years. eek!!!! But we had a great lunch and saw her gorgeous little girl. She is a very sweet little baby. Then we wandered the Ontario Mills, killing time to go see one of my bestedest friends. That night we spent with her family at a Peanut Brittle making party, yes I said Peanut Brittle making party. Yes it sounds lame but it is oh so very fun. Trying not to get burned by molten lava, I mean melted sugar. Breaking thermometers, generally mocking the spreading ability of people you barely know. Like I said good times to be had by all.
Sunday we were off to see Pops. We watched some football, had some In and Out and started our epic Wii search. Monday we wandered around the LA area looking for a Wii and other shopping. That night was karaoke with the infamous FOXSWAN. There was the great computer crash of 2006 but it was still alot of fun. We saw the calendars and I must say they are well worth the money. I had trouble getting past the sheer imagery that February brought to my mind. Yes ladies they are single and straight (or so they claim) but gay or straight I would let my friends date them. I did however find out that Fox does not know the dreidel song but he does accept the blame for the fact that the Jews killed Santa. It was a great time and I think hubbs had a genuinely good time, not to mention Fox is a very good sport about all my teasing. I had to tell him that he would have to worry if I was nice to him. Once again Swan was a wonderful host, too bad we are now the owners of a $35 street sweeping ticket. I did remember but didnt think we would sleep in. I figured of the 4 years I lived in OC (the crowning jewel of street sweeping tickets) I did not get one so it was no big deal. Little did I know that was just the beginning of a hellishly expensive day. While cruising down the I-5 back towards to SD a ginormous boulder flew over the center divide and smashed the windshield. The thing must have been 8 inches across, at least that was the size of the non-shattered part of the windshield.
We limped on down to turn the car back in. That is still a pain in our butts and quite unresolved but we shall see soon if we owe or if our insurance will cover it.
So we wandered around town seeing various friends and family for a few days. Mom also came down with my stepdad for a few days, which was awesome. We went to my family annual Christmas party where many of us preceeded to drink to much and tell my cousin he is a fool for not being married to his long time girlfriend. It got a lil cruel but it is cos we love her and he would be an idiot to let her get away. We stayed up talking and carrying on until 4 or 4:30 AM. We crashed on the couch and 2 hours later the Wii search began again in earnest. We hit every Target, Circuit City and Best Buy in the 40 miles between where we were and where we were going. Well the lines were all horrendous as everyone knew there would be Wiis that day. Well at one mall hubbs made a wrong turn so I told him to drop me off so I could check Gamestop and he could go on to Best Buy. Well I walk up the ramp and quite unlike the shining holy grail there is a empty store with no line in the cold and rain. So like any good American, I start a line where none existed not knowing whether or not it would even pay off. 2 hours later it did as they had 6 units and I had the first. Of course the greedy bastards at this particular GameStop demanded that we buy a $50 piece of crap expansion thingy. Well apalled and angry as I was I still bought it and then promptly returned it at the mall across town by where we were staying.
The trip home sucked. A nasty stormed blew into Denver (which shut it down for 2 days), another one into Dallas and I think one in St. Louis. Well we were delayed for about 2 hours in San Diego which was no big deal but some people were real assholes about it. Let me stand up and say it now (if anyone has read this far) THE AIRLINE PERSONEL ARE NOT GOD OR EVEN GOD-LIKE IF THEY COULD CONTROL THE WEATHER THEY WOULD NOT BE WORKING AT AN AIRPORT!!!! Yelling at them does not help, being rude to them does not help but your getting annoyed and huffy when they make smart-ass comments back at your rudeness only makes you look more like an ass and make them feel better. I had one such jerk behind me in line, he kept getting out of line to yell at the poor woman working and telling her she needs to get someone else to come help her. Don't you think that if she had someone they would be there or do you think the woman liked seeing the ever-growing never ending line of angry people in front of her. Then this same a-hole pushed his way ahead of us to get off the plane at the connection like he was the only one scheduled to make his connection. My only solace with it is that I bet his bags were lost. Well we made our connection, actually got into Charlotte early and ahead of schedule. Too bad that connection efficiency meant our bags did not make. We left Carlotte with a Wii but no bags and made the long drive. Late the next day the bags arrived but the communication between the airlines was so poor that I may write a letter. I also think that 24 hours from the time the bags missed the connection to the time we received them is unacceptable. But that is the world of the new airlines.
So now we are home. We have some games and 4 sets of controllers for the Wii. We are all set for a Wii Christmas and a Wii New Years Party

Raven Simeone
Do I know her? no Have I met her? no. Do I generally care about her? no. I just want to say that from what little I know of her I think she is a good person and not a pain in the ass star. Being from Southern California, I generally do not care about famous people and was fairly accustomed to seeing them. Well she was on my flight from LAX to Atlanta. I had heard whisperings but then again I really didn't care. Well, I am sure you are wondering where I am going with this. Well I went to get my bags off the carousel with 50 billion other people and there she was standing in front of me. No biggee, she is short I could still see the carousel. Well she had the cutest little dog and was very sweet about people walking up to her. The coolest part was that she got her own bags. It was getting REALLY crowded so her friend was getting the bags and she moved back, so I moved forward. This is what struck me most about her. She was moving her bags back but I was in the way. She very politely said "excuse me" so I stepped aside so yeah. On the decent famous people meter she gets 2 big thumbs up.
Ramblings from the airport
I really should start doing a blog on all the airports I have flown into, out of and through. Seriously there seem to be millions and I do have favorites.
So here I am at LA International Airport on the busiest travel day of the year. Well all the news reports of LAX showed these hideous and horrendous lines and traffic, well not at Delta at 10:30 this morning. I left the Antelope Valley on a shuttle this morning at 9am. We hit my terminal somewhere around 10:30. There were no lines and no pressure, I walked straight up to the check-in kiosk. Then I couldnt figure the darn thing out, it had instructions flashing on the screen to fast to read except the passport instructions and it didnt read my passport. Then I dropped off my bags. I think my boarding pass had a code on it that tagged me for full search. So yup I got the full blown pat down and inspection. Sorry boys there was no serious girl on girl gropage like they show on the news. She didn't even graze my breasts, which I am not sure if I am glad about that or upset. I mean I don't have a thing for women but are my breasts not good enough for the gropage we see on TV? I did get to see a guy in a cast get the inspection and they inspected his cast, which was interesting to me. All in all the worst day of the year to travel has so far been easy, by 11:15 AM I had done to walks of the Concourse, one to find my gate and another to peruse food options and shopping. Now I am sitting at a power outlet to conserve the precious battery power of my laptop. I also have 3 wi-fi links but none of them are letting me in, even though one says it is for public use. Those bastards!
I now ave 2 good hours until my plane leaves and a little less until it boards. But you can bet your tuckus I am not leaving this golden power outlet until my hunger is so ravenous, I want to jump the guy across from me and eat his McD's I would rather eat human flesh than McD's mmmmmmm flesshhhhhhhhh
Hmm maybe I should hop on that flight to Paris, I missed the one earlier to Buenos Aires, the person announcing that couldn't pronounce it and finally just said Peru. Buenos Aires is in Peru right?
Ok so my thesis on airports will start like this. LAX is not my fave by far. The bathrooms have not been updated to accomodate roll-on size carry-ons and the hooks and stands have not been reinforced so you can keep your laptop or purse off the floor. They did have auto-flush toilets which was nice. This concourse (Delta) has very few choices for food and shopping. There is a McD's, a sandwich shop, a CPK and like 3 bars that claim they serve food, but calling the selection bar food would be an exageration. I looked at one "menu" and there were 3 things on it. There are 2 shops. your typical newstand shop and a kitschy krap southwest shop, being from the Southwest and considering it crap I did not give it more than a walking glance. The newshop was typical, I heart LA stuff, some See's Candy(I might go back for that) and newstand stuff but the only bottled drinks are water. That is common in alot of airports lately, but not a big deal because they have vending machines and soda only vendors. Well not at LAX. It sucks. The check in was pretty smooth even though the attendants were inattentive, brusk and your typical CA rude which I am just not accustomed to anymore. Even though I got the full random search the security screening was smooth but I wouldnt want to do it when they are busy. The organization is poor and the area needs to be redsigned for the new standards.
Security CheckPoints:
Now ATL their security point is huge and kick ass, if I do sayso. It is like the entrance to disneyland or the line at Fry's. There are so many lanes that they should never get to long and there is someone directing and telling you where to go. Of course I saw many people not listen when the lady was clear in instructions and there were times where I could see she was speaking clearly IF we had been familiar to the airport areas.
San Diego well I don't like it, again the area needs to be redesigned But mostly I dont like it because they were rude to me and are lacking signage that says things like "Take Laptop out of bag" So since I didnt know they were pissed and angry and just very rude to me.
I have no recollection of Birmingham, Chicago-Midway or Pensacola so it coulndt be that bad.
Other Notes:
Atlanta kicks ass, lots of food and things to amuse me when I am waiting. They also have the train so you don't have to run to another terminal.
Dallas-Fort Worth had great food, that is all I remember is this restraunt with the best Albondigas I have ever had.
Phoenix was boring but did have free internet, as does ATL I think. LAX has no internet unless my wifi is hosed up again. I think Birminham had free too.
hmmmmmm ok that is all for now until I get bored and right more. I should be working on that term paper but I just don't care about it.

SO I am about to go home. I fly out tomorrow, I am packing and running errands in hopes that my mom will be ok for awhile. Stepdad is doing well but his lack of vision is very upsetting to him. He can see but he is seeing double so yeah no fun. The IV will be done tomorrow and mom will be home through the holiday so hopefully they will work out a schedule, or grandma will come up now that there is no fear of him eing contagious, little did I know but grandpa has never had the Pox even though he has gone through 4 kids who have. So yay! for LAX on the busiest day of the year to ATL the busiest airport in the country that has lost my luggage more than once. No one even loves me enough to drive me down there. ok for real I dont want anyone to go through that hell for me. I will take the bus.
As we were cleaning the garage we found alot of my old stuff. One was a very nicely packed box that I know has a lot of momentos in it but I did not go through it. We found the grail we were searching for which was another tub of antique banks and glassware that was not wrapped it has now been repacked and moved to a safe yet undisclosed location. :)
What got me writing today was a smaller box, plastic and slightly larger than a shoebox. It is full of paper and going home with me. It is full of card and letters from about 1996-1999. Just 3 years but full of memories. It reminds me of the friends I had, the best friend I have taken for granted and a friend who may have been a love but neither of us ever said so. It was a wonderful thing to find. Just full of memories. People I havent heard from in 10 years and I admit that is mostly my fault. People who were dear friends who suddenly weren't and I still don't know why. A letter from my sister saying we would be married and have kids by now, well she isnt and neither of us do. Then my best friend who I had forgatten cared so much for me and did really nice things for me. It's weird how things change and I just forgot. To those I still talk to, thank you, to those I forgot, I am sorry and to Roo, I love you, you are a real friend.

What got me writing today was a smaller box, plastic and slightly larger than a shoebox. It is full of paper and going home with me. It is full of card and letters from about 1996-1999. Just 3 years but full of memories. It reminds me of the friends I had, the best friend I have taken for granted and a friend who may have been a love but neither of us ever said so. It was a wonderful thing to find. Just full of memories. People I havent heard from in 10 years and I admit that is mostly my fault. People who were dear friends who suddenly weren't and I still don't know why. A letter from my sister saying we would be married and have kids by now, well she isnt and neither of us do. Then my best friend who I had forgatten cared so much for me and did really nice things for me. It's weird how things change and I just forgot. To those I still talk to, thank you, to those I forgot, I am sorry and to Roo, I love you, you are a real friend.
