OK....I've posted similarly to this before, but the confusion continues.
I swear some people don't actually read posts before replying. Yes they read with their eyes, but to feel strongly enough to state an opinion, send forth congratulations or dispute a statement, in my opinion, one must actually take in what he reads.
This is my friend so I must reply something. This is a popular post so I must get my name out there. This post is too long so I'll just skim over it and post something somewhat relevent to the title.
I really don't know the reasons. Maybe it's because many people just don't fully comprehend what they read. Maybe it's ME who isn't comprehending. I know I've posted and have been rebutted.
What I do know is...I've read a post, read the replies, and then have gone back to read, read and re-read the original post because the replies don't seem to match the opinions asked and the sentiment sometimes doesn't match the implied sentiment of the original blogger.
As a langugage major, if I saw a post related to math and/or science, I'd skip right over it because all the re-reading in the world would not penetrate my thick skull.
Anyway..I am not generalizing. This is not BC as a whole...this is not every blog and blogger as a whole. This, of course, is not everyone. Of course I'm not the only appropriate responder. Actually, I may not have ever posted anything appropriate. It's in the eyes of the beholder. Maybe the responders know more of the story so the puzzle fits for them. Since I'm not exceptionally close with anyone here, perhaps I'm just out of the loop, therefore; I'm lost in a swirling of words.
I don't know. Enlighten me.

I'm not sure if I mentioned here before, but my and her husband are expecting their second baby in October. They have a little boy..Kevin Jr. And now there is another boy coming. YAY!!! This one is named.....
Liam Craig. Craig is after my brother who died a few years ago...my 's favorite person in the world. And Liam they just came up with.
My ex-husband's entire family hates the name and told her so. Too bad for them...They can name the Kitchen Sink if they want. It's the parents' decision. My ex inlaws gave me grief about every name I came up with. I'm glad my has the gumption to stand up for herself.
When they all stated their opinions, She told them. ''That is the name..I'm not asking you if I should name him that or not. So you better get used to it.''
HAHAHAHA My are the best!!!

I know that some people here dont get me...But I understand that there's no facial expression or tone of voice which adds to the confusion.
Even if there were..there'd still be a few who'd tilt their heads at me like a hearing a whistle. lol
Anyways...for those who do. Or for those who don't but tolerate me anyways. Thank you. 
Today I managed to end up with a much needed day off. Almost didn't happen but thank God it worked out. It's 930 in the morning and I just took a shower. How's that for an nice chill day?
I have to run to the store to buy birthday presents for my 2 daughters. After that I'll be back to throw in laundry and then hang out in the sun in the back yard for a bit. Maybe cook a burger on the grill. MMMmmmmmmmm
Thank you for your prayers for my sanity. Without even having relaxed too much yet, I feel about 50 pounds lighter just knowing I have nothing to do.
Thank you for praying for and supporting someone that you don't really know. I just want you all to know that I really, truely appreciate it..and the outcome as well.

I am sooooooo incredibly exhausted. I'm normally up at 6am, even though I don't work that early during the summer.
Today I could barely lift my head with my eyes still closed at 9:15 and that was only because my sister called. It's not because I stayed up late. I went to bed an hour earlier than normal..quite by accident. I fell asleep sideways across my bed with the lights and tv on. Didn't wake up til 630, turned everything off and passed out again.
I can usually go forever. Stress, dislike for my job, too much work, too much school, whatever. It's life and the tougher it is, the harder I trudge through. I'm just odd like that I guess.
Sometimes I get sick of it. Especially because I don't see an end to working 5 million hours a week..but it passes and I just don't think about it.
This time my body is giving up. Maybe it's just because I haven't had a day off in forever. I haven't worked/schooled for the full 7 days a week for about a year or so. I just need to get back into the swing of it. I've only been doing it for 6 weeks now. Also, I've been doing 2 waitressing jobs instead of interpreting then waitressing. That's a bit wearing.
Today I'm the food runner at my 2nd job. 8 hours running trays of food for 16 servers to 5 dining rooms and 1 patio...I'm too old for this crap. LOL
I need to go drink more coffee...and then make a bucket load of smoothie. I'm not eating that junk at work anymore. Every sunday they have 'Sundae Sunday' for the employees. I can't do that anymore. I've done it for like 3 weeks in a row. My body hates me.

Just a general thought about everyone here.
Way back in the day when people online were few and far between...before the days of unlimited internet when every walmart shopper in town hopped on the bandwagon; I went to a few online get togethers.
The first one was when I was on C-serve. There were only 6 people from massachusetts and we all went out to chinese food. It was so cool. At the time, chatting with people across the state or across the ocean was still so new and intriguing.
Anyway..that meeting..and a couple others made me realize that people are not always as they seem. I dont know why my brain was closed in a bubble, but I really assumed people were as they typed. I mean, if you think it and type it, why wouldn't it be the same thing that you would say face to face??
Boy was I stupid. The most outgoing people online were the ones hiding in the corner, afraid to speak. Not everyone of course. There were those who were..or appeared to be the same as their persona. But overall I was shocked to say the least. I know, I know..people say its easier here because you're not face to face..easier to hide..easier to say what you want to say.
But I still don't get it..If you can think it and you can type it..why not say it.
I dunno..when I was young I was extremely shy..not around freinds and family..but to strangers and stuff. Perhaps I would have a better understanding if the internet was around then.
As for now...I pretty much type as I speak. No...Often times I backspace here LOL Can't do that in real life. LOL But both here and face to face I've learned that not everything that comes to mind needs to be said. That valve doesn't always shut off..but you know what I mean.
Soo..my point to this rambling is....I wonder who is as they type and who is using the mask.
I'm not sure I'll believe all that you tell me...but have at it anyway. LOL

I'm going to be doing international studies in Mexico. I've started planning for next summer, but this morning was thinking that maybe I can pull it off this summer.
It would mean a month without working....and that in turn would mean a month of INTENSE work hours to get enough cash to pay an extra month on my mortgage. As soon as I got back I'd be starting my regular interpreting job again so there'd be a cash flow again.
Hmmmmmm...I'm going to email the advisor and see if it's possible. They typically start planning 6 months in advance, not 1 month. But total immersion classes 6 hours a day 5 days a week. Overwhelming. I love to be overwhelmed. Can anyone say type A? LOL Actually I'm not. I love down time equally well. I just think....if I can do something..why not? Last minute planning inspires me LOL

My mom and step dad are having it hard financially right now.
All of a sudden yesterday she says to me,...
''my prayers work great for everyone else but not for myself. I need someone to pray for me''
So please, where two or more agree...
Pray to help with her moment of discouragement and for a financial situation..ie miracle to pull through.
Thanks so much.

Perhaps it was overlooked.
I posted a poll about interfaith relationships...because I'm truely interested in ideas about this. I had one vote and no responses. I'm not looking for popularity..I'm not making up a dumb poll to see who will answer. I just want to know.
Sooooo....let's try this again.
interfaith

Working 2 serving jobs while summer is out...UGH..it's killin me. It's tough,,but so am I. At least that's what I tell myself. LOL
Sometimes I start at 10:30 in the morning and end at 11:00 at night. But today I don't start til noon and get out at 10pm or so..10:30.
It's only for the summer til my real job starts again at the end of august. All the hours is just making it tough to do my homework. I have TONS of it. Summer classes are really 15 weeks of learning jammed into 6 weeks. It's ok, I like the pressure..I just need the time.
Anyway..the title says 'upside down' Why?
Because I have an inversion table. It's the best investment I've ever made besides my house and education.
Yesterday I was training as expo/float from noon til 8pm. That means traying up, and delivering food to the tables for 16 servers. That's a lot of pressure on my tray carrying shoulder. LOL
Soooooo.....I hang upside down and it stretches everything out...takes the pressure off. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
So today is my first day off training and getting tips. Yesterday even though I did ALLLLLLL of the work while the other guy stood there and made sure I had put all the right stuff on the trays. He earned $150 in tips, gave me $20 and walked with 130. He said...sorry, I'd give you more but I didn't make much. It's ok..he's not required to give me anything..but the day before he said, '' youre training with me on expo, you're gonna get hooked up'' Yeah ok. LOL
Today... LOL
