An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

Personal Update Thingy

Well, I said I would be posting light, and I’ve pretty much stuck to that, haven’t I!  :D   The biggest reason, I haven’t watched the news is close to a week!  Heh.  Yes, withdrawal was tough at the start, but I’ve survived it, and now am actually enjoying not being glued to the idjit box.  Actually, during the MJ fiasco, I wasn’t watching before we left on our trip, so it’s really not so bad.  I’m hoping that’s behind us?  One can only hope!

I haven’t posted any pictures of the clan, because, well, I get zip on the phone service out here.  You’d think a town, so close to Houston, with a WHOLE lot of commuters would have better phone service.  Oh hell no!  And since I use my phone to take pictures….  “Can you hear me now?”  NO!  I can’t hear diddly.  Verizon lies!  :(   I did find one spot in the house where I could talk to the Mr, but if I moved an inch in either direction….  sigh…  Yes, I could also go outside and wander around the yard till I got reception, but it’s freakin’ hot out there…..are you NUTS?

I’m seriously enjoying my bat cave!  Other than the fact the toity doesn’t work worth a flip, it’s quite nice to escape the over sized rug rats now and then….especially in the morning.  As we all know, I am NOT a morning person, and I seriously do not want to have a conversation with a 10 year old, on ANY subject.  :P   It has been pleasant to sit and drink coffee with Ick on those mornings when every one else was still asleep.  I guess we’re the only two who have figured out, sleeping all day is kind of a waste, and Brat was at work, so having her scowling wasn’t an issue.  She’s not a morning person either.  Wonder where she gets it?  Hmmm….

Luckily, there has been no blood letting between Brat Jr and Short Person….so far.  It’s kind of tough when there are 6 years difference between them.  Their interests are completely different, obviously.  In a few short weeks, Jr will be 17.  I don’t think playing with princess stuff is her thing.  Although, it was extremely amusing to listen to them playing American Idol.  Even the dogs kept trying to figure out where that racket was coming from.  Heh.  I think it’s pretty safe to say, neither one will be dealing with Simon whatshisface any time soon.

    “I’m hoping that’s behind us? “
    Not so fast there toots….I wandered into a Target yesterday and made the VAST mistake of checking out the magazines. It was all MJ all the time everywhere…
    Although, you would think they could sync up the photos better than they did….one minute you are looking at an old white woman, the next a young black guy. The mags should have gotten together ,you know like they do when it comes to spewing out barry’s latest spin, and decided which thing MJ was at the end. Old white woman, or young black “guy”…

    Well CRAP!  The boy/woman/whatever is dead!  Bury him, and let’s move on!  sigh….

    I’m afraid that it’s NOT dead. He did rather look like a zombie there for the past several years. Although, to be honest, I only looked at “it” when I was tricked into it by the idjit box…….
    Creepy creepy creepy pedophile.

    Well shoot!  That is ridiculous.  So much going on right now, and THAT is what the media believes we want to hear?  How about what we NEED to hear!

    Honey…the best thing that ever happened to chairman zero was MJ dying….
    Doesn’t that just say it all?
