I am finally ready to move along past the recent losses in my life. I think I fell into a situation with family telling me (encouraging me) to be angry and that it was okay/good to question why & stayed there. I had no reason to be angry that I lost children. They were gifts to us and although I'm not pleased they're not with us right now, there is some reason for it, I just am not sure what. Could be so that my husband and I ... Wed, 27 Aug 2008 03:58:12 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/irksome_ex.html Lots of things have been going on in my world lately (still, lol). One thing that especially is irksome is the ex. I'm not writing about him because he deserves it (the power to torque me off), but because I just need to complain! =) Our son's 15. He sees his dad once, maybe twice a month (his dad's choice because of work or to be truthful, because he's "busy" with his life). When they're together, sometimes they'll go fishing. Most other times though, the ex will be in the house, sleeping ...

Why get offended (or is it mostly the populous who was offended)? What am I missing? US cyclists apologize for wearing masks By NOAH TRISTER, AP Sports Writer 7 hours, 53 minutes ago BEIJING (AP)—A group of American cyclists has apologized to Beijing Olympic organizers after arriving in China’s capital wearing face masks.

I have not replied to comments or messages here for a long while. There's been a lot going on for me and at the moment, I feel like it's important for me to let some of it out. I'm unsure if it means anything to anyone, but one thing I've been afraid of is some type of criticism for my feelings and how I've dealt with the situation(s) in my life. But I guess that's part of being an adult & life in general... I've been pregnant three times this year. I know, it's only ...

The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down.....

Doesn't want to get a job to help pay for it yet cos he thinks he's too young. Okay then, save up what you get from your birthday & holidays, most of your allowance. That just gives us the blank & "I'm in pain" stare in return. Hubby is a talented man. One of his talents is with cars & trucks. He can fix or find someone to help him fix dang near anything. Being that our son wants a car, we were thinking, "Hey, let's get him ... Sat, 14 Jun 2008 05:35:28 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/ramble_random_.html This is going to be a total rambly, random post..... I feel as if I could eat an entire pan of brownies today. Bad for the cellulite I'm trying to banish but they sound oh so good to my mouth! And....my hips (hahaahahahahhaa!! I just typed "hipos! as in......hippos?? What a slip!!) don't lie! I can't figure something out. I often say, "Jesus!" or "God!" when something happens. "Don't curse!!" "How could you say that?!" is often a response I may get. I have to TRY to explain that when I say ... Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:35:05 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/life.html Life. Life's slapped me something but good the last couple of months. Delightfully, my husband & I found out we were pregnant (the 2nd time this year) in April. Things felt a bit "off" as far as "growing pains" from it, but I was assured by my doctor & his nursing staff, all was "normal" & "No, we won't need to see you until you reach the 3 month marker." Nevertheless, things weren't right. I won't get into all of the specifics, because I don't think it's appropriate, but, we lost the baby ... Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:14:11 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/heartbreak.html Wish I had something witty and whimsical to write....the last 3 weeks have been hellish for the most part. My husband and I suffered a loss. It was one that we hadn't expected....first it started as a relationship builder but over the last week or so, it changed into something that's been a wedge. Currently, we're working through that hurdle. We're both very weary, drained and I believe, ready for happy times again. God willing.....they're on the way. Just wanted to write. It's been so lon ... Wed, 28 May 2008 05:13:07 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/why.html Emotions are so different for everyone, sometimes it seems they're utterly un-understandable (yes, that's one of my made-up words..). A gamut of emotions have run the course of my small world within the last couple of weeks & yet I'm still unsure of what exactly I feel. Why did this happen? Why now? I realize none of this may make sense, but somehow, I had to find an outlet to express myself without silence. Most of the events that have come to pass have involved me not being vocal, with t ... Tue, 6 May 2008 18:27:20 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/stomp_pout.html I'm truly amazed at how people want everything to be "their way", naturally, "validated" by whatever they may find as leverage to make what they're wanting come to fruition. "I'm important," "I've been a viable part of ----- for some time now," or whatever other reasoning that may be used will be verbalized. Is the "reasoning" actually solid ground or is it just part of the overall power struggle of not feeling the situation is comfortable or what they really wanted it to be? Manipulation ... Fri, 2 May 2008 04:42:44 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/stressed_me_just_rambling.html I'm so stressed!!!! There is one person on this earth who can stress me out completely in .001 seconds, guaranteed!! My ex husband. That man stresses & irritates me to no end! My biggest frustrations with him is that I wish he'd just be our son's father. Not his "commander" not his "adviser". I wish the little bit of time they spent together was actually the two of them together, not one outside & the other inside or having chores to do and no relax time. I wish he had an interest in WHO o ... Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:19:26 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/tagged.html I saw all the tags & decided to play along.......I'm nothing short of totally exciting, so grab onto the edge of your chair!

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:46:24 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/live_greasytown.html Sometimes I have so much to say and lack the proper expression. I don't understand people who get are in communities like this one & get bent out of joint. Unless of course, there is an obvious offense...but I don't see a lot of validation that's "public", I guess in most cases to flip out & make issues. Maybe I'm too ignorant or too blind or insignifcant to have opportunity to realize it all.... shrug Often, I wonder how interesting it would be to have some kind of scandalous past or a sc ... Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:47:50 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/whore_moans__.html Ha! Got your attention! :P Seriously though, my hormones are driving me batty! I'll bet your bottom dollar my husband is about to pull his hair out trying to figure out what is wrong *this* time with me!! I'll let you in a little secret as to why I'm so unstable emotionally right now. It's something that I've suspected for a couple of weeks, but wasn't sure I should even address it or think it could be possible: I'm gunna have a baby. Along with that, comes all kinds of questions in my min ... Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:07:31 GMT http://greasy.com/dkelly/jabbering_2.html The in-laws were here this weekend. First time I've spent more than about 20 minutes with them ever. They spent two nights with us. Things went okay, I suppose. They really seemed to like my son. I think my f-i-l likes me more than my m-i-l does, but that's okay. She emailed me today & said the visit was good and she really enjoyed the CATS. -_- Gee, thanks!! :P Ah well....at least I made it through (for now)....but I'm really sure I'll be getting a bit of elbowing about visiting them soon ...

I'm not interested in them, I'm just surprised so many people seem to like them! I can see how it might seem "easy" to do if you're just standing there to get it applied but let's face it: * It's doggone freakin' expensive! * You need to find a reliable source to have it done * It takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes to DRY.... * Typically these tans last from 5-6 days... * You aren't supposed to sweat/get wet for at 4-8 hours afterwards! For me, that wouldn't work! I couldn' ...

The girl I used to be.... And she gazed at me with her earnest eye And questioned reproachfully: Have you forgotten the many plans And hopes I had for you?
