So the main reason for this blog is to express disappointment and annoyance at Heartland Creamery, a local dairy that makes "Jesus milk" as some call it. They use glass jars instead of the common cartons that everyone else uses, so they are somewhat unique. "Tastes better in glass" they say, 'better' being underlined. However. I bought a quart of their chocolate milk. On Tuesday December 1st. Which is the "sell by" date on the jar. Maybe it's just me, but that's REALLY pushing it. They should have removed bottles with that sell by date, that morning. Because, being a not-so-much fan of milk, I'm going to drink it slow. It is now the 8th, and I am hesitant to drink from that jar. Three days ago it started to taste peculiar. I guess I should bitch at the store instead of the place the product came from. Anyway, there goes half a quart of milk from the son of God. Ask yourself. WWJD. I don't think he would allow his people to buy milk that expired that same day. Do you?

Honorable Mention
When asked why I had a bad night, I lied and said "happens." Guess that's not really a lie, just very unspecific. There is a reason, but it's too trivial to name. I really shouldn't be bothered by it.
I'm watching two people who have never met argue over something I posted on facebook. One has no idea who he's talking to, the other only knows the first from what I've said about him. I shall sit and observe.
Considering attempting to re-start my chalk portraits. I did 2 large portraits in high school, one black & white, one colour, each of a famous person, got ribbons for them at the art fair. Liked clay, but never seemed to have as much success with it. Haven't really painted. Coloured pencils are like chalk, but you can't really blend the colors like you can chalk. I loved the blending and the shading, getting it to the colour you need it to be.
Someone opened a bathroom scale in the hardware dept the other day while I was at work. It was maybe around 9pm, Sunday night, I was bored out of my mind singing random ditties to myself, saw it, and of course utilized the opportunity. I was satisfied with what I saw. It was 9 lbs less than what I weighed when I got pregnant. Thank you, skipped meals!
It's true that the best material comedians have is based on real life. I sit around thinking endlessly of something clever to put as my status, or something to title my blogs. Comes to me much easier if something peculiar has recently happened. Which, right now, is not the case.
Anndd... Cut.

Nothing Specific
I'm now caught up on my Rescue Me episodes. Love that show. Lou's my favorite, the main character's best friend. They're in season 5 right now, and they're going to end the show in 2011. I guess the finale is going to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. Guess every show's gotta end sometime. Cept the Simpsons. How long has that show been on now?
Oh, a rather large recent change; I'm single. Happened maybe a month ago. And he moved out maybe a week ago. We're still very civil, still see each other pretty much every day, keep in contact. Sharing the child, no arguments.
A vacation would be nice. I'm sure everyone says that. Mine doesn't need to be extravagant, just a few days in a city, preferably New York, Chicago, or LA, where I can observe city life both day and night, and get some spectacular pictures. Or at a secluded tropical beach with a drink, a book, and my ipod. Alright, maybe those are extravagant, but still.
Something I currently wish I could do, is make my downloaded torrents into youtube videos. There are several funny scenes from Rescue Me that I watch, and wish to share, yet can't because I don't have the proper knowledge and/or equipment to create youtube videos out of them. Hmph.
That shall be all for now.

Tabs & Spell Check
Third entry. I don't think anyone even knows this page exists. Oh well. Gives me something to do, and something to look back at in the future.
Trying to decide if it's better to splurge and buy the good rum or surrender and buy the cheap that tastes rather, eh, well rather bad. Well the first few glasses are bad, then taste really doesn't matter.
This weekend I was told by some people I work with that I was going out with them. So I did. We went to a night club place here in town and listened to a band. (One of my friends personally knows the band.) I drank my usual, rum & pepsi. And bought 3 shots for a few of us because it was Talk Like A Pirate Day. Captain Morgan, typically. Then I went to pay the tab later. I'm not sure what I expected, but definitely not a $50 tab. Whoops.
And I have just discovered that I have been spelling 'definitely' wrong for as long as I can remember. Way to go, jr high spelling bee champion.

Small Escape
I first had this blog full of complains against my other, all he did or didn't do that bothers me. Instead, I'm going to make a list of things that make me feel good, or things I love. I need to remind myself right now.
Music. I have had 3 different personal music players, and have felt vacant when without one. Very rarely do I drive in a silent car. My interest ranges from The Offspring to Frank Sinatra to Alan Jackson to Michael Jackson to Weird Al to the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. From Danny Elfman to Kid Rock to the Spice Girls to CCR. I currently have almost 45oo songs on my ipod.
Traveling. Of course I can't do as much since I now have a child, but I loved it. Had so many plans to go so many different places. Scotland, Ireland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Boston, Melbourne Sydney and the outback... Several places in California. New York City. Hawaii. Miami. Maybe I'll get to one of them before I die.
My child. Yes, sometimes I would like nothing better than to hand him off to my mother or sister when he is crying and nothing I do comforts him, yet when he's away from me, I miss him and so many things remind me of him. When he's talking in his own way, and then he sees me and smiles at me, and sometimes I get a chuckle out of him... Seems to cancel everything else out.
Well instead of rambling on, I believe that is it for this entry. I bid you adieu.

Back to Blogging
Part of me wishes I were a big enough celebrity to be able to type... anything... and get fan praise and kudo's for it. I see that online a lot. But it's just wishful thinking on my part.
My partner in crime, friend, and roommate for over 4 years, Sobie, is no longer in my life. We had to leave my beloved feline behind when we moved out of our house and into an apartment a few months ago. I went by and fed her a few times a week, but last week the house maintained new ownership. I wish her the best and won't forget her.
Eric finds it creepy that I have suddenly been watching several 9/11 videos. I don't agree. Something about them just makes me want to see more, probably to try and understand more about it. Yeah, people hijacked planes and killed thousands of people. Yeah, most of them were civilians. But I wonder about things like, how many people survived the collapses, just to perish when they weren't found in time. How many people in the buildings saw the plane coming right at them.
I was in high school at the time it happened, and was told later on to write a paper of the one phone call I would make if I saw the attack in person. I wrote myself as being in the second building, on a field trip, calling my aunt, and seeing a gleam of silver in the sky as everyone around me starts panicking.
Hmm... Can't think of anything else to mention right now, so... bye.
