I would sit and hug you and drink lots of martinis if I could...<br /><br />My life...well, not all hearts and flowers. I totally broke down afte weeks of personal crap and told my husband that all I want to do is tell him, and my mother, and any "friends" I have here to Piss Off, and go start fresh somewhere new...<br /><br />I'm hoping I got it out of my system...time will tell.<br /><br />BUT...you certainly got a little ray of sunshine with that box...note or no note, guilty mom, or guilty theif...It's more than you could have gotten otherwise...Take that as a blessing, and milk the goodness of it for every drop you can squeeze.Dawn@Embracing the Ordinary Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03145028895189619778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-36837919701144541492009-05-03T00:13:00.000-07:002009-05-03T00:13:00.000-07:00Annie!!!

I can't read your blog without it and am still working on the laptop restore.<br /><br />As for lemon drops, you are sooooo on! We were in your neck of the woods tonight. We went to Blossom Asian Bistro in downtown Renton because we had a gift certificate. CG had a lemongrass martini--it was divine and I was thinking of this post the whole time. We need to get our cocktails on!<br /><br /><B>Fantastic Forrest:</B> You are so right. That is why I ended this post this way because I wanted to hear from you all and know that I am not alone and you are not alone.<br /><br />I do agree no matter what is going on, there is someone in this world much worse. I have a roof over my head, my kids are healthy, my marriage is strong despite my annoyance at the knucklehead-heh! <br /><br />I am really sorry to hear about your friends. That is a lot to bear. Crossing my fingers for them all. <br /><br />As for my sister, I should have provided a link. It's totally serparate from the car. The sister who asked is the most awesomest little sister and totally supports me on this blog. She chided me for feeling guilty about my TMI, not being able to help email. She understood and expected nothing. <br /><br />The sister issue happened in january. It's actually the elder sisters who discovered my blog and were not happy with what I wrote about our family and their religion. I've edited posts, but 2 months later, there is still silence. Just don't know how to mend that one...Sigh. <br /><br />It is what it is. I've provided a link on this post above if you want more detail.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583814670832501297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-41370512130021901742009-05-02T23:56:00.000-07:002009-05-02T23:56:00.000-07:00I am shocked that one person has all this to deal ...I am shocked that one person has all this to deal with at once. When something bad happens to me, I look around and realize that other people have it much worse. <br /><br />All I can tell you is that I have a friend who has prostate cancer with a high likelihood he won't get better, a friend with cancer of the esophagus, a friend whose mother has 6 months to live with bone cancer. And one dear friend lost her 18 year old son in a boating accident. So at least your worries aren't fatal. Feel better?<br /><br />Still, you have my total sympathy. And your sisters are jerks for not accepting your apology. But they should never have expected you to pay something toward the parents' car to begin with.Fantastic Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044290192610027408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-52590375318851054472009-05-02T20:26:00.000-07:002009-05-02T20:26:00.000-07:00wow wow wow...dontcha just love those times in lif...wow wow wow...dontcha just love those times in life?

Fat ass? so there, my friend. Mother on Facebook? ayeayeyea. Yikes!<br /><br /><B>LSanFO: </B> Oh, I am sure you can handle this and much more, but I'll take the coffee next time I see you. Venti Italian roast drip with 2 shots espresso, room for cream, equal, and whip on top. Got that? :) I know, disgusting. Heh!<br /><br /><B>JamaGenie: </B> What a unique perspective. Looooove it. Why not taken the poison all at once rather than feel like crap before you die. Heh! No, never will the "couldn't get worse" words pass these lips. Actually, catching up on other blogs, I feel all kinds of humbled and am embarassed how whiny my blog sounds. I know it definitely could be worse and I know I am blessed with what I do have. I just wish I could get rid of the stressed feeling. I don't function well like this. I need to get my snark back and I am actively working on it.<br /><br /><B>Carrie: </B> Totally feeling the ju-ju. Thanks my friend. Now if I could stop eating the jujubees. Need to stop the emotional eating. Heh! Got ice cream? <br /><br /><B>Honeybell: </B> No worries your words are enough. Although stumbles DO make me smile. Stumbles make everything better for bloggers. Thanks. You rock.<br /><br />You all rock.

Why string it out over several months...or a year...or two years. I'm sure you don't think so right now, but someday...say when you're 97...you'll look back and laugh. The geese poop? Why shouldn't they get their shot at ya too? ;}<br /><br />But whatever you do, **DO NOT** say "it can't get any worse". Because it can and it will...sort of like an invite to the cosmos to 'kick us again...please'.<br /><br />Hang in there! Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I feel for you. We may not be having the same troubles, but oh my how many we all have!<br /><br />To distract you: My one means of transportation has finally broken down, after months of first birthday planning, so we are currently broke and with no car for work. Bumming rides, ugh. The real kicker is that we just bought 4 new tires, had a full tune up and some engine work, then BAM! flood waters!! Hundreds of dollars that could still be in my pocket. Older sister has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. my baby girl has come down with a very disturbing symptom , which Ive been advised to keep an eye on until another symptom clears up the cause. My hubby has gotten a promotion at work but with no car, and no idea how long we will be without, I worry for his job security. As a result of all this stress, it seems I have a never ending migraine. I might explode.<br /><br />I'm sending lots of good energy your way.....................https://www.blogger.com/profile/04449409385941692066noreply@blogger.com
