Shattered Sun

Dude, I really do mean to update this thing. But see, there’s this thing called work that just kills my time! And Rachel just moved down here, so I’m helping her get situated. And then there’s the coming school year that I’ve been buying supplies for. And then there’s Jayson, who takes up a lot of time. And um… Yeah. I know, I suck. I promise to make an effort to update more.

Now suck it up Mom!

Dude… Good Movie. Go see it. I didn’t really want to because I didn’t like the trailers. I don’t know why really. They just didn’t sit too well with me. Whoever put them together should be shot! The movie was much better than I suspected. Sure, there were some parts that seems just a wee bit contrived, but nothing that you wouldn’t expect. And, they even set it up with some great cameos from the Spidey universe. Doc Conner is the bomb, baby! He’s so cool. I think he’s one of my favorite characters. I anxiously await Spidey 3. With the way they left Spidey 2, there just has to be a Spidey 3. You hear me Tobey? Get your butt on the Spidey 3 bus and show us all another great Spidey epic! :highfive: (Edit: Dude, there is definitely going to be Spidey 3! Woot!)

Did I ever mention that I saw Chronicles of Riddick a couple of weeks ago? It’s okay. Thank goodness Dame Judi Dench was in it, because she made the movie. Well, as far as acting went. Who wouldn’t want to stare at Thandie Newton? (Side tangent: I just learned that it’s a sequel! I really didn’t have a clue. Guess I should go see Pitch Black sometime, eh?)

:mrgreen::b-lol:

This just cracks me up! With all the talk of extreme low carb diets (which I don’t follow), there’s a site that’s selling Carbohydrate friendly shirts and what not. I just love how it’s gone to such an extent! Personally, I’ve been losing weight on a simple little diet that I can stick with. It’s called my “eat carbs if I want, but keep them low along with low fat and calories” diet. Oh, and I exercise. So I basically get to each what I want if I really want it and I try to watch what I eat otherwise. It’s all about making wise choices, eh? I’ve lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks following this diet! I tell you, it’s the bomb!

Have you ever tried that? I know it sounds a bit crazy. Well, I guess it is, since Doctors always tell us to try that instead of all the fattening dressings out there. But I never tried it till today. I happened to have some nice lemon juice because I made some salmon for myself on Friday. So I made a salad this morning and dumped lemon juice all over it. It’s very crispy now. It’s kind of a weird taste, but enjoyable none the less. Of course, you’re talking to a gal who drinks tea with Splenda and buy the new juices that are made with Splenda. That stuff rocks butt! Thank you Darren and Rachel for showing me the light! Y’all are the bestest! (When are we going to Costco so that I can buy the HUGE package of Splenda?) :yummy::b-yummy:

Today was a rough day for Jayson and I. I know, everyone has those days, but it still aches. We fought, but not one of those, “gosh, I hate you” fights. It’s more of a fight over the differences that make us unique. While we are each other’s greatest pleasure & happiness, sometimes we are each other’s greatest torment. I am old. Not physically, but mentally. I am often mistaken for someone in their 30s till people find out how young I am or see me in person. I don’t have a great need to be young, either. I haven’t been young since before I can remember. My mother was a single parent and I helped with my brothers. It wasn’t about having to grow old, it’s just that someone had to help out. I don’t blame my mother one bit, either. We all do what we have to do in this life. Sometimes it hurts the people we love the most, even when we don’t mean it to. But they grow, they learn, and they love you just the same. As more than one of my friends can attest, I hurt people in my life all the time. While I regret hurting people, I don’t intentionally do it. I just want everyone to see things my way. I know that’s crazy, but when it comes to some things, that’s how I am. Like money. I am not a frivilous person. You have to talk me into buying things that I don’t “need” or feel that I need. If I can justify it as for someone else, then I’m okay. But I can’t waste money for the sake of me. I want everyone to be that way, even though I know it’s not possible. Jayson is definitely not that way. He’s very much okay with spending money on himself and that’s not all together a bad thing. It’s just different and it grates on me everytime. I’ve learned to deal with it, but there are times when it gets the best of me. Today was one of those days. In the end, we made up and both agreed that it was a mutual failing. I’m too old and he’s too young even though we’re the same physical age. Sometimes I wonder how we make it through this life.

He asked what he did to deserve me. I told him that he must have pissed off the devil!
