Who in the world is Gd?

I don't have to believe in what you believe in nor do I have to agree with what you agree upon, but I will say, either be for something or against it. I believe in God and I believe in saying Merry Christmas and Happy Easter. Now just because a person or people do not believe what I believe, that does not mean that I have to be afraid to say it. Here is my point:

I was on Facebook one day and one of my friends had put something on her status like she is glad of the power of G_d of how he freely gives...so on and so forth. My response was, so if God is so freely giving, what is wrong with you not adding that o to his name? I wasn't trying to be ugly, but if you are gonna talk about the name of the Lord, then why can't you just spell it out...GOD? Or, would you not spell it out because other people will be offended by it?

I'm not going to apologize for saying God's name at work just because someone may not believe in Him. I am also not going to apologize for sending out a Christmas card to someone even if I know they do not believe in Christmas. First and foremost, it ain't about me, it ain't about them. But I do want to know who in the world is Gd? Do I address my prayers by saying Dear Gd, I can't add this o in your name because whoever is listening might take offense to me saying God out loud? Even an atheist says they do not believe in God, they never said they don't believe in this Gd fellow.

Now turn to your neighbor and repeat after me: Ain't God good!!

I need a tissue

We have a conference room in our office where other people can reserve for a small meeting of about 6 people. So a group of 5 were wanting to use the room and I agreed that they could. Well, one thing I really hate is for people to throw their titles around, as if that is suppossed to do something for me. So while the group was in the conference room, I was sitting at my desk doing what I do when I hear someone yell out, "I need a tissue!" Well, I really do not respond to peoples beck and call like that, so I just ignored the guy who called it out and kept on typing on my computer. The guy then comes out of the room and said, "Barbara, may I have a tissue, please." Oh certainly, not a problem. I want him to know that just because I work behind a desk does not mean that he can't give a lil respect.

I will never forget the time this guy was in the boss' office and he kept proclaiming how he has a doctorate and then yelled from the boss' office for me to come and get his paperwork and make him a copy. My mind said Excuse me, but I just sat there. My boss told him that first, he do not yell from her office demanding me to go anything and then second, to stop throwing his title around.

Well after everyone else came out of the conference room, I was talking to one of the other people and he said that he knew I heard that other guy ask for a tissue. We laughed and he said, "They must not know about you." I told him I guess not. He said if I start running everytime they demand something, then they will never have respect and they will expect it every time. What a touching moment. Now I need a tissue.

It was all a dream

I had the most craziest dream of all time that I would like to share:
Hubby comes home and told me to sit down because he needed to talk. He said that when I check the bank account, I will see that there is only 15 dollars in the account. I didn't say anything and just proceeded to listen. He began to first say how sorry he was and that he hopes that I can forgive him. He went on to say that he spent 250 dollars on a boy and that he was a good kid and hadn't had much in his life, then he said he spent another 250 dollars on a woman to help make her breast bigger. He said he know he shouldn't have done it and wanted to let me know before I looked at the balance. I didn't even ask him any questions. I just told him to get out. Hubby said he didn't have nowhere to go and wanted to know if we could work things out. I just pointed to the door and told him to get out. As he was walking to the door, the alarm went off and I woke up.

I laughed when I woke up because first, if hubby ever did some crap like that, yes he would probably be out of the door and 2nd, we ain't got no 515 dollars in the bank anyway....it's much lower, much, much lower. I'm curious as to why I didn't say anything in the dream. What kind of nonsense is that? I'm glad it was just a dream though.

I guess it's a date then

Hubby is not the type to normally go to the movies. When I ask him about it, he'll usually brush it off and say for me to either call up one of my friends or take the children. By the time he has said that, I've really lost interest in going. I told him that he was missing the point and that I wanted me and him to go together. Most times, he'll sigh and then say he'll go, but that is not what I really want. I want him to be willing and joyful to go, not like I'm making him go. Other times, he plans stuff for the whole family, not just the two of us.

Well, I guess you can say I almost fell off my rocker when hubby mentioned to me that he wanted to go and see a movie with me. Ok, that is not a good way to describe how I felt. Let me put in another way. It was the feeling when you eat a peppermint patty and get that cool sensation. So, I asked him if he was pulling my leg. He said no. He had it all planned out. (10 points for hubby, because he normally would just say whatever I wanted to do) He wants to go and see the movie, "Think like a man" on this Friday. He said he will meet me at work when I get off at 4:00, then we will go and have dinner and then go to the movies. I felt like a kid at Christmas time opening up a gift that they have wanted like for-e-v-e-r!

I paused, and asked him what was the catch. He said no catch. I paused again and asked him where were the children gonna be, he said at home. Shut the front doe!!! So the children were talking to each other and said they guess they are on their own on Friday to find something to eat since the parents were going out on a date. I said, "We are not going on a date, we are just going to go and get something to eat and then a movie." Our 18 year old daughter said, "Um, mom.....if a guy picked me up and took me to dinner and a movie, oh yes, it's a date." I looked at our 16 year old son and he nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, mom, she's right." Well, I guess it's a date then and I am so tickled and excited at the same time. I can hardly wait.

Mini-pause

Well, I am not quite sure if I am in menopause or not, so I'll call it mini-pause until I can get more clarification. I know I'm somewhat young to be going into menopause, but shoot, my mother went into it in her 40's, maybe late 40's and I'm in my early 40's. Well, I hadn't had a cycle in 9 months. Oh no, ain't no pregnancy happening around here. Stop thinking that anyway. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it ain't gonna happen. I went to the doctor to find out what was going on. My OB-GYN said it was common for women in their 40's to go through it. I am not complaining over here at all. She said it was hard to tell if I was going through menopause or not and that it was going to be a waiting game. A what? I don't think I have ever heard that. So you mean to tell me that I will just have to sit around here on a monthly basis to see if something plops out of nowhere. Hmmmmm!!

Well, the doctor said that if it is not here for a year, then we will see what is going on. Ok, I'm really not complaining on my end.  I don't have to see a cycle ever again in my life. The doctor asked me if I have hot flashes. I responded by saying, "Doc, I'm a plus size chic, of course I be hot all the time." She said yeah, you could be going through the change. She even told me that she could pop something and make my cycle come if I wanted her to. I was like, uhhhh no!!! Shoot, she might make me start bleeding and I may never be able to stop....ever. I told her that I was just gonna let nature take its course and go from there. So I am in a mini stage of menopause to me. Even if it should come tomorrow, it sholl was enjoyable while it lasted.

Booger be gone

Disclaimer: If you are easy offended or grossed out, stop reading right now and come back at another time.
Now that I have that out of the way, I must share something with you. I woke up the other morning and it felt like my right nostril was stopped up and that some alien was trampling all over my nose membranes. I sucked in air but could actually feel something in my nose that was blocking my airway. I don't think it was a spaceship though. I went in the bathroom and got some tissue to see if I could just pick it out, nothing came out. I knew something was in my nose but just could not get it to come out. I took a mirror to see if I could see anything and I could not. Ok, whatever it was had to come out. I figured I would just go in the kitchen and put some pepper in my hand so that I could sneeze, and let me just tell you this...when I had my tissue ready, it was the slimiest snotty booger that I had ever seen. It was lodged way back there in a place, like Star Trek,  the final frontier, where no man has ever gone before. When I say I felt relieved, it was like being at the top of Mount Rushmore and all your hiking gear gets you back down to the bottom safely....considering I have never gone hiking.  The good thing is that I could breathe again, the right way.

What is going on around here?

It's hard to find a parking spot here at work unless you get here early enough like I do. So when the President's secretary came from down stairs and announced to everyone that we needed to move out of our parking spaces, I did look at her funny. She said that some senators were coming and wanted everybody to move from their parking spaces and go and park wayyyyyyy (and I must put emphasis on wayyyyyyy) across the street and then walk back to our office. First of all, I'm sure they knew days in advance that the senators were coming. Just like they send all these emails that mean nothing, they could have sent out an email asking us not to park in the front parking spaces on this particular day. That would have been easier instead of going to go and move our cars and then find another parking space. If we had known in advance, then when we got to work, we could have just parked somewhere else.

Second, since the senators were coming, then why do they have to be treated any differently than anybody else. The senators knew they were coming and they should have been informed to get to the college a little earlier in order to get a parking space up front. Here is the crazy part: The lady from upstairs came down at 8:30 to say they would be here at 9:00, which means they were already in route when she said it....DUH!!!  We get to work for 7:30, so don't you think that we could have been warned at that time that they need the parking spots. So, if you can visualize with me for a minute, all these people are going out to their cars at the same time trying to move their cars wayyyyyyy across the street. It was not a pretty site.

Inquiring minds want to know what would have happened if nobody got up to go and move their cars!!!!
