do you ever get the feeling like you're forgetting something, something really important.
yesterday on my way to work, during work, on my way to women's group, and trivia... i felt like something wasn't right, something was missing. This morning i drove in silence. i wasn't interested in listening to the news or music. i knew something was different...something that i was forgetting. i spent most of my day at work at my desk trying to remember what i had forgotten. when i got home, mom asked me if i knew what today was. and it hit me like a ton of bricks. today was my grandma's birthday. i can't believe i had forgotten it. i'm not a forgetful person. i've been so buried is work and personal stuff. there's no excuse though.
so, there's no time like the present... happy birthday grandma! i know you're not here, but happy birthday :) may she rest in peace

mission trek...what a rollercoaster
mission trek is always the highlight of my summer because i get to do what i love most; helping those who need it the most.
overall, the week was great. usually we destroy or create things. this year our group did a summer sports day camp. it was loads of fun and a good learning experience. these were inner city kids with no where to go during the day. it was either this camp or going to work with there parents. its nice to know that just by being there, hanging out with the kids, made a difference to them.
so...our group had five guys and we worked with the girls from st. francis in cali. they all had a great time and got along really well. by the end of the week, we were talking about how fun it would be to join up for next year at another ynia site. i'm hoping this coming year will be different. new way of holding meetings, the way we raise money, and do more service. the most important is having all the adults on the same page at all times and have a say in everything at all times.
i'm looking forward to a new year!

what are politics?
Kids say the darnedest things...
A kid goes to his dad and asks, "Dad, what are politics?"
His dad replies, " Put it this way; I am the breadwinner of the family so I am capitalism. Your mom is the owner of the money so she is government. The government is the provider for the people so you are the people. Your baby brother will be the future, and the nanny is the working class. Now think about that."
So he went to bed. He was woken by his brother. The baby had pooped in his diaper. He went to tell his parents, but he only found his mom asleep in the bed. He didn't want to wake her, so he went to the nanny. The door was locked. He checked through a hole and saw the dad in bed with the nanny. He went back to bed. The next morning, he went to his dad and said, "Dad i know what you mean now."
"You do? Tell me."
"OK, while capitalism is screwing the working class, the government is sound asleep, while the people are watching the future being pooped on!!!"

time for laughing...
i noticed that most of my blogging lately has been negative...so, its time to laugh...
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replies, "I see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
Watson ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Timewise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."

why do people have to judge
why do people feel the need to judge someone by there looks alone?
its not fair. Just because I wear jeans with nice shoes, the occasional t-shirt, maybe a hoody, doesn't mean I don't take my job seriously.
the way I dress matches my personality, I take pride in what I do, i try not to be an embarresment, if I find that I need to dress in nice slacks, a blouse, and nice shoes then I will. Why can't people take someone abilities over the way they dress? I'm a pretty tolerant person but this is rediculous!
