RAOGK
Finally I get a decent day to go out and take some photos and I can't find the list I printed from David in California of the pictures he wanted. Ugh! Just a little disorganized here. I had everything where I could find it, but then Steve decided to do some arranging and rearranging. Now when I ask him where something is, I'm met by a blank stare or else he says he never saw it. SIGH Well, maybe tomorrow. I should take this opportunity to work on the scrapbook I've been working on for mom about her family. I'm almost done. I'm to the point where I'm getting bored with working on it - must... get... busy...

Neighbors
I think it would be great to live somewhere out in the country - far and away from neighbors with huge woofers on their home stereos. I'm probably sitting 20 feet away from my neighbor's stereo - depending on where it is in their living room, and all I hear is boom, boom, BOOM, boom, boom, Boom... It's annoying enough when a car drives down the street with a stereo that makes your windows rattle, but when you're trying to work with that, that... noise. UGH! I can't hear the music, just the bass. Obviously, closing the window didn't help since the floor is vibrating. And I'm trying to work. Trying to work... I'm such a witch.

Holy guacamole
I watched Dr. Phil's show today on that stupid F*LDS raid in El Dorado, Texas. He came up with the perfect words that I couldn't find the other night. Robotic. They're absolutely robots. Naomi was a woman who had escaped from the cult with her mother and siblings years ago, she was featured on the show as she went back to El Dorado to look for a half sister that she had been taking care of until she left. The people that she met who she had known when she was younger actually seemed to come to life, real live people, for about 10 seconds, and then they'd all slip back into their "We need the children, the children need their mothers" mentality. Scary. The Jefford Wives, would be a good name for them. I agree with my blogger-friend after giving it some thought today, the women are every bit as responsible as the men, but I think they were so brainwashed, so totally owned and controlled that they can't think for themselves. It's frightening.
I look at people who have the stupidity to compare these mindless robots and criminal men to the "real" LDS church. What a joke. I'm totally offended that LDS is even part of their name. Nothing, absolutely nothing these people do has anything to do with Christ and his life. Nothing. I still feel sorry for the women, but not the extent I did the other night. The whole situation makes me want to vomit. Those kids need to be taken somewhere and NEVER given back to those people. And they need to go to the other compounds too and do the same. The children need to be saved from the adults in this whole cult. It's hard to believe that these things happen in the United States.

Weekend - OVER!
Wow, it was a busy weekend! Saturday of course, I watched Vince. I should say, I had the pleasure of watching Vince - he's such a sweetheart!
Sunday I decided to go to church, only to find out once I got there that I was an hour early for sacrament meeting. I talked to a few people I hadn't seen in ages, but then had to leave because last Monday was Bob's birthday and mom was having a birthday party for him. Maybe next week?
Bob's party went well. When they adopted their cat, Miss Mittens, 3 months ago they were told she was 9 months old, so they figured her birthday was also in April, so we celebrated her birthday as well. The birthday cake was for both of them! ;-) Yes, I have pictures, but they're on the other computer... Later, I'll post some. Mom had some cold cuts and stuff so we had something to eat besides cake and ice cream - although I personally don't see anything wrong with cake and ice cream for dinner...
I'm really annoyed at Bob's kids though. I mean, it was his 80th birthday - I kind of think that's a big deal. It would have been nice if they had thrown a really big party for him. I'm a fan of really big parties... LOL! Seriously, we had one for my dad's 75th last year and it was fun! They don't have to be expensive. I guess I should know better though, his kids really never do anything like that for mom and Bob. When we had the 25th anniversary party for them a couple years ago I did all the planning, Sue (Steve's sister) helped with the decorations and neither one of his kids donated a dime or helped one iota with the cost of the party. Oh wait, his son's wife did bring the stuff for punch. Woo hoo. Bob is without a doubt the best father-in-law in the world, I love him to pieces. He never hesitates to help out or just be there when needed. He can also out-talk just about anybody with his police and war stories. I hope he's around to celebrate many more birthdays!
I bought the movie, Juno, this weekend too. I knew what it was about, teenage girl gets pregnant... Blah, blah, blah, but I had heard it was a good movie. It was. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised and it didn't have the expected ending either. Well, sort of, it did, but it really didn't. I'm not giving the end away in case anyone wants to see it, but I thought it was good. And I loved the girl who played Juno, whose name escapes me right this moment. She was a terrific actress, I bet we see a lot more of her in the future. She was a very quirky girl in the movie, close to my heart! I like Jennifer Garner and Jason (?) Bateman too, so that didn't hurt. I love, love, love the music. I'm not sure how to categorize it, but it was different and I really liked it. Although I have this line, "Here is the church and here is the steeple, we sure are cute for two ugly people..." running through my head today. That's driving me nuts... I got the music CD with the movie as a package deal and I'm glad I did. Yes, I know, I'm probably going through my second adolescence. Good.
We ended Sunday by having mom and Bob over here and we watched the movie. After that I spent some time downloading pictures and getting ready for Monday. This week is going to kill me! I haven't worked a full week in about 3 weeks and now that the weather is getting nicer it's getting harder and harder to sit all night as it is. I wish I could find another job where I could work at home that didn't tie me to the stupid computer to type all night. What I wouldn't give to just be my nice humble self, but be independently wealthy at the same time. Wouldn't that be nice?
Today I did grocery shopping. That's it. That's enough. I went to Super Wal-Mart, which I never do for grocery shopping. I actually wanted a couple storage tubs and thought I'd get them and then go grocery shopping. When I got there, I decided I didn't want to make another stop so I'd just do it all at once. Then I got home and realized I forgot the storage tubs. Bah! Hopefully I saved some money shopping there, but I doubt it!
After coming home and getting the groceries put away it was time to work. I sure didn't feel like it today. I have a bunch of stuff in my head right now and some nights it's just hard to concentrate. I totally missed my group last Thursday. I had been off on Monday, which made Tuesday feel like Monday, and so on, so that messed up my week; and to top it all off I had a meeting in Fremont on Thursday morning and that's the day I work a split schedule, which I totally forgot about. I remember group at 7:38 to be precise, and it ends at 7:30... to be precise. Hopefully I can remember to go this week. Thursday before that I couldn't go and then it turns out it was canceled when Lindsay fell and hit her head anyway, so 2 weeks is about all I can mentally afford to miss at this point.
Well, this is as coherent as I can be at 2:15 in the morning. I do have a load of clothes I could fold, but I think I'm just going to call it a night. Night.
Later.
