Does not play well with others

My Birthdate: November 7th

Born on the 7th day of month gives you a tendency to be something of a perfectionist and makes you more individualistic in many ways.
Your mind is good at deep mental analysis and complicated reasoning. You are very psychic and sensitive, and you should usually follow your hunches.
You may not take orders too well, so you may want to work alone or in a situation where you can be the boss.
This birthday gives a tendency to be somewhat self-centered and a little stubborn.

I was defeated at birth...I never even had a chance. And this whole time I thought being born on the 7th meant I was perfect.

Nationally observed weekends

Today simply can't be Saturday because it doesn't feel like Saturday. I can't explain exactly what a Saturday feels like, but I do know I'm not feeling it today. I'm sure it's due to my man's whacked out new schedule of working Tuesdays thru Saturdays. I think it's unhealthy for employers to change their employees' schedules so often. The mental stress of trying to figure out the days and dates for the family of the employee is no small thing!
In fact, I think that every employee should have the regular weekend off. The only real reason they work is actually because people are too lazy to plan ahead. If you're going to need groceries, go on Thursday evening. If you want to eat out, buy Friday afternoon and freeze till the appropriate time. See? It's all so simple really.
Watching "Meet the Fockers" last night, was like a trip down memory lane. Robert De Niro *really* reminded me of my dad at some points...always shooting my dates up with sodium pentothol, having secret DNA tests done on my fiance, and various other 'spying activities' were the norm for me at home. It was such a relief to marry and move away from such an extremist. Of course I intend to do the exact same thing for my daughter when she enters the dating arena, it's a great way to build patience, and to show trust to those you love.

jejunocarcinobrachio what?!?!?

I'm supposed to be studying my grammar refresher course right now, in order to take the first test before my next birthday. Problem is, how can you take "refresher" course, if you never "fresh" to begin with?! Ya, it's been awhile since highschool, and I readily admit to having forgotten just about everything I ever learned. However, if I skim over the material, it usually all comes back. But see, I never learned English and Grammar for medical purposes. Therefore having the refresher course in 'medical language' is NOT helpful in refreshing my memory! Even after going thru (and completely understanding) an entire chapter concerning the basic parts of speech online (talk about an extreme view of grammar...this guy was like a nazi about it), this medical stuffage still trips me up.
Why can't we 'speak medically' in a simple, regular-person-friendly way? Like, "Patient died because she was stupid and ate too many sweets", or "Patient's knees hurt because they weren't made to support 300+ lbs". That would cut thru the mumbo-jumbo so everyone could understand and know what's really going on. Just a suggestion.

You should know this by now...

You'd think that by now, having been out of the womb for 8 months, my kiddo would've learned a few things. For instance,
'Mommy likes to sleep without interruption for at least 6 hours at night', or maybe,
'Mommy doesn't like it when I wake up every 3 hours screaming at the top of my lungs, only to have me eat for two minutes before falling into a deep, deep sleep'.
Apparently I've been remiss in my training, because Alexis can't seem to grasp this important, and very foundational concept.
Not only is that a problem, but her pessimistic nature at such a young age is shocking. Trying to remove soggy, gooey pieces of half masticated cheerio from her chin is met with distrust, as she pushes my hand away, and tries to ensure I don't get even one tiny, goo-glob of her food. I have never tried to steal a sucked-on-cheerio from my daughter to satisfy my own hunger. I don't even like soggy cheerios.

Mass confusion

Woo! I was completely joking about reading the 'blogging rules', but apparently this is way more complicated than I imagined it to be! Kudos to all of you out there who have actually figured all this stuffage out and still managed to keep your sanity! ;-)
I'm not exactly a computer savvy woman, so figuring this all out will, I'm sure, manage to challenge me. But that's good, right? To continually stretch myself by learning new things is essential in keeping my little brain working. When I don't use my brain, not only does it slow down, but it also starts losing what little knowledge it originally had. And anyone who knows me can verify that even a day of slacking off could prove to be disastrous for my mental health. :-0

The newest thing

So here I am finally getting into the whole 'blogging' thing. Is there some type of 'bloggers rule book' that I should be reading before I take the final step and submit my first entry?! Or do I need to advertise somewhere to try and find readers? I'll most likely end up having to pay people to read about my daily life...oh well. I'll console myself with the optimistic thought that people will read it without 'subscribing' to it...which is what I've been doing for the past three weeks to several other bloggers (that's probly a no-no in the 'blogger rule-book').
But now that I've got my own, I can 'subscribe' or whatever you call it, to the other blogs, like a fine, upstanding blogger. 0:-D
