Thankful or Not...It's Thanksgiving Everybody.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving...and taking a cue from my Dearest Scribe I will post what I am thankful for this year thus far:

~Thankful for my family--we may not always get along but at least at this point everyone is healthy.

~Thankful for my cats--Baby Sherlock is looking better every single day. Here's hoping everything stays in remission.

~ Thankful that the country as a whole got it right and voted for the BEST candidate.

~ Thankful that I did pass the CMA.

~ Thankful that my Red Wings are the Stanley Cup champs...that doesn't mean they have to win every single game during the regular season.

Ok...so how about what I'm NOT Thankful for...

~ Not thankful for the weather.

~ Not thankful for some of my friends who have made my life hell.

~ Not thankful for my allergies taht kick my butt on a regular basis.

~ Not thankful for how I feel at this moment.

But I do hope that you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Wow...so ok to start to try and catch up...

It seems like forever since I've graced the halls of my blog...but I have been VERY busy...

Going to give an insight to the last couple of weeks...even my Dearest Scribe hasn't been able to see me until recently. So to begin...

Halloween--what great weather we had for Halloween. It was the mid 60's very unusual for October.

Creature creating was fun...which caused for lack of trick or treaters...to scared to come to my door LOL'n.

November 4th 2008!
Next We have the landmark day of November 4th 2008---a day of change, hope and any other word to describe a miracle. I decided this year to work as an election poll worker. Where I was at people were lined up an hour before we got there...and by the time we opened the lines were out into the street. That wasn't the shocking part. The shocking part was the "challengers" that were there...we had 4 of which were right behind me. They represented the Repubs, The Dems, The Lawyers Assoc, The ACLU, and to my amazement...no provisional ballots, no challenges, nothing. Just 1302 voters...happily voting.I was moved by some of the first time voters who took time to talk to me about why they were voting. Our polling center would cheer all 1st time voters--I kept commenting I didn't think I'd do my Red Wings cheer anywhere but at a Wings game. But we did and we cheered a lot that day. In Michigan I'm glad all the proposals passed. I was FOR expanding stem cell research--the mere thought that we can abolish sickle cell anemia is enough for me. But enough on that thought. Just was a long long night.

Hmmmm...No...Hmmmmm...Maybe...Hmmmm.

Since the Prez debate will be mind boggling enough I thought I'd throw this out there. This sign was in the trunk of a car I had to drive while mine was at the dealership. It just humors me. So tell me what do you think it means?

Damn Insomnia Got Me In Trouble AGAIN!

By popular whine...er demand...I will finally take the time to write this story.
Most who know me ...know I have a pretty good case of insomnia. I had it under control until studying for the CMA exam...now I just don't sleep until I'm tired...8 hours a night? That's a myth right????
Ok...moving on.

So I have a usual routine at night. I usually drive to a gas station that is 24 hours...to get some drinks. I'm there almost every night to the point where I'm pretty good friends with the guy who works the night shift.
During the week I've been harassed by various police officers standing within the station. They 'attempt' to make small talk with you...while doing the basic interrogation...luckily my friend who works there kept telling them to "leave her alone."
One night while driving one of my friends called so was talking to him when I pulled into the driveway. I took the first available spot and was finishing my conversation...when out of the corner of my eye I see a glock. Not one...but two branded by some guys piling out of a white panel van. Saying to my friend on the phone CRAP...(by the way this friend on the phone is a police officer who was immediately worried) Seeing the guns I threw the car into reverse and got the hell out of dodge. I went as far as across the street to flip the car around and see just what I'm seeing.
Worried for the guy that's there I'm thinking I will be high tailing it to the police station---or going back to help him out -being a medic and all.
In watching I see 4 guys with glocks surrounding this little car.
Just as I'm about to dial 911...I see a faint Police bullet proof vest....soon after I see a visible police car pulled up lights flashing behind them.
Noticing which City it is...I still drive to the police station...they didn't have jurisdiction there...
The next night, I went back to my usual routine to talk to the guy I'm friends with. He was glad that someone was going to look out for him. He did find out it was as drug bust that went bad and the gas station was caught in the middle.
So that is the story....I didn't get shot...but was too close for comfort this time.

Rain Rain Go Away......Damn It GO!

Is ANYONE sick of rain yet? How about wind? How about rain and wind and a little thunder and lightening? Maybe a tornado thrown in for good measure? Oh and did I mention flooding?? I am just sick of it all.

Did you hear that? That was me falling to the ground SCREAMIN!

Wow! That's all I can say. WOW!
With utter shock and amazement I am PROUD to announce...
I PASSED THE NATIONAL EXAM!
I AM NOW
A CMA (AAMA). Certified Medical Assistant- American Association of Medical Assistants

Just ask my Dearest Scribe...I think I shrieked on his voice mail too :X

One Two Three Four I Can't Take No More...

Let me begin to say sorry I've been away.
But reality is kicking my ass.
First my kittans are doing well.

Second... My dad. His appendix ruptured. It was quite chaotic.
He is recovering but is suffering some complications.

Third...My good friend's child was seriously injured (Hate Crime).

Fourth...I whacked my head borderline concussion..

Fifth--I think I need to drink one...

Sixth---got a new vehicle.

When reality/karma slows down..I'll write more meaningful posts. I have some stories in waiting.
