…led by far-right activists, refused to confirm the judicial nomination of Tracy Thorne-Begland, simply because he is gay. This sort of intolerance is unacceptable in Virginia. All residents of our Commonwealth should be treated fairly and equally. Homophobia is not an acceptable reason to reject qualified judicial nominees.
If you live in this state that I am currently ashamed to admit is...

Truthful Tuesday (A day late)
In my life, I’ve been simply awful to some people, showing little to no regard for their feelings, just to get what I thought I wanted. My reality smack in the face was yesterday, when I heard that a girl I used to work with, many years ago, had died. She had six heart attacks in one night and left behind a young daughter. The last time I saw her, I was taking her manager job for...
I prefer Craisins to raisins. And that’s about the speed my brain is going today. Maybe tomorrow I can work on a peanut/pecan preference.

Justified, season 3 is over…Raylan, darlin’, don’t leave me this way, without even telling me when you will be back. I’m just left here sifting thru DVR’d shows, trying to relive each moment of our time together. I will try to be brave, to hold on until we can be together once again. All I can do is beg to know when I’ll look into those emotionally scarred eyes...

Just spent 2 hours totally OCD’ing over the application of a screen cover for my iPhone. There can be NO air bubbles! Seriously, people, you are failing me if there’s no intervention.
The day when you wear the shoes that rub the back of your ankles raw? Uh, yeah, that…
I can’t save money, it’s a fact I accept about myself. Therefore I will be working right up ‘til the moment some disgruntled ex finally kills me and puts my body in several garbage bags to scatter along the highway. And that folks, is the best retirement plan I gots!

Seems a lot of my posts are about men, poor food choices, alcohol, pills, and the avoidance of exercise. I’m pretty sure that puts me at the top of a list of people to teach your children what NOT to do.
Truthful Tuesday…sometimes my diet choices would be porn for a diabetic. Anyone willing to follow me around and smack my hand when I reach for cheesecake? Oh wait, bad question. There are probably people in a tri-state area that would kill for a chance to smack me on a regular basis. Soooo, it’s back to this milkshake then.
When it’s 2:48 AM and you can’t sleep, you discover strange and mysterious things. For instance, who among you was aware they made a Home Alone 4?
I have a headache and I can’t get the freakin’ Advil bottle open. Send help, someone who DIDN’T just put lotion on thier hands, like, um, I sorta, kinda did.
Must punch something…or break something…or punch something to break it. In other words, I don’t think those vending machine M&M’s brought the euphoria I was expecting.
You know it’s one of THOSE nights when you have to Google what could go wrong if a dog eats marshmallows. For the record, “It’s not harmful, but is not part of a healthy canine diet.”
In Freud’s theory of “repression” the mind automatically banishes traumatic events from memory to prevent overwhelming anxiety. Soooooo, I have no clue how that empty box of candy got there.

Tweets, Tumblr posts, and Facebook status updates about men, food, vodka, and prescription drugs. The picture this paints of me rivals any celebrity featured on the cover of National Enquirer.
Tammy: (normal lunchtime banter in car...)
Rainy: (gets too close to the guardrail)
Tammy: Oooh, Rainy, watch, you scare me girl!
Rainy: Close your eyes, it's just better if you close your eyes.
Froot Loops…I will let you, gentle reader, decide if I am referencing my mental state or my snack for the evening.

I DARE YOU TO LISTEN TO THAT SONG LOUD
dielaughing:
No one expands their musical horizons anymore. At least tell me you hated it. I used to enjoy discovering music until hipsters suck the joy out of that sort of pleasure. Don’t be a hater; listen to some jams and turn it up loud. Get drunk and have sex. It’s a slippery slope; I’m just saying ‘have fun today.’
I have too much “project management” stuff running around in my head! I need a good smack to the back of the head to shake it out!

It’s a sunny day in February. I own four pairs of sunglasses. Two are left behind on my desk, one is at home on my nightstand, and one pair has taken off for parts unknown. I will probably burst into flames now.
