This has been the longest week ever. I have started so many projects and promised to quit my job so many times I think they guess as to whether I am coming or going. Today one of my co-workers gave me the number to a good "shrink" that has helped a lot of people she "knows"....

TANGENT----Why the hell is it when you work with women, especially young spoiled brats who dont know their butthole from a hole in the wall do you always have to walk on eggshells? This other psychotic Lisa Bright and Dark Chick starts off a BEE-ATCH and then mid-day wants to come and laugh, joke, and save the world. Within the next ten minutes she is back at the crab from hell. She especially hates it if I, someone close in age, yet her superior, repremands her... Oh well, she probably needs the referral from the other lady

Anyway I am glad for the weekend.....

PS...I am in more contests!!
Go over and visit MOMSATIONAL and check out the cool contests!!

Ok, in this time of craziness, yet high period of boredom, is it okay to internet date? What if the profile is fine as all get out and he has the resume of "Mr. Positive Role Model", should I trust it?
I have had many friends and coworkers that have landed their prospective wives/husbands through this internet thing, all would do again. Yet, I am "paranoid patty" as some like to call me and just too scary to even make that move.

Yes, I do go out and meet alot of people there, and some say the risk is just as great, but is it? When this man knows a friend of a friend that dated my cousins sister in law? I can clearly check references and past dating issues through our common contact. Internet man can only be googled.

How about finding a friend? We are talking a man you may have known in a "past life", yet after reading his blogs and pictures and messages and blah blah.....you feel like you may have missed something. Is this the same thing as internet dating? It is the internet and although I used to know him, I dont have any contacts that can corraborate his new life. He could be the wild killer trying to end my crazy blogging streak.....

I have to admit I was once on Match.com. YES match!! I was getting old farts and bums off of the street with computer access.

Okay to get the full gst of this story we must start back in the winter when the spring products began to dot the aisle of the major department stores....

Here are more sites I have visited for wonderful items:

1. Christine is offering Blogger heading and setup help; as you know I need


2. Mommy Needs a Cocktail is offering wonderful items from Baby Brewing (robe, tee,etc.)
3. ThoughtsDujor is offering a $15 Cold Stone Creamery Gift Card
4. A Mommy Story is offering a Nintendo DS Lite perfect to practice at home so you are the "cool" relative at family functions!!

I think that is it, I am going to bed...Good Luck ALL

Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive disease, killing vital brain tissue, leading to decreased function, memory, and altered behavior.

I had muttered a statement very similar to the above statement several times to family members, caretakers, and friends never thinking any deeper than the physiological effects and how to potentially treat the disease. I have walked in the Chicago Memory Walk just to support numbers of people with the disease. I just never knew the depth of pain associated with the change in a loved one until I saw my grandmother progressively change.

Today, I finally made the appointment for her to see a geriatric specialist and my heart sunk. When I told her I knew she was about to lose it, as she is the lady to whom I credit all FYSTYNESS!! She once, when I was young, was cheated by the "friendly free cable guy". She saw him walking and pulled her car over to him on the street, pulled a gun and said something... That something I cant quite remember because she reached across me to aim it and I didnt even know she knew what a bullet was!!

So I just want to stay positive and think on the blessings of having her still here with me to share her periodic moments of wisdom. I am thankful that I have had so many wonderful years.

Yet, is it wrong for me to just be pissed off right now,thankful for her life, but just ticked off? Not necessarily mad at anyone, but just mad that it is my Grandma?
