LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE

It may not be the fast lane but I can guarantee you that any lane that I'm in...is good for a few laughs...and I'm starting to rub off on the least expected people..I was at the library the other day after I was made a Obama Mama and was excited to share my good news and fun stories about it to Nancy..so I lean over the counter and say"Guess what?"...and she says:"You're pregnant!"...and I laughed and said:"hell no, if I was pregnant, I wouldn't be laughing and I would have said. and before I could finish the sentence Nancy says:"you would have said 'oh fuck'..." and then both us us cracked up laughing ...We were giggling like 3 year olds that said poop in church..Then Sat. night Sara comes by to return the vacuum cleaner and is whining about all the hours she is working..20-22 hours at the Dollar Store and over 20 hours at Bush's Chicken..I said 'let me tell you something sweety..when people die and they lay them out in the cemetery, they never have "I wish I had worked more" on their headstone...You're 18 years old..you have your whole life ahead of you to work your ass off, you should be out partying and having fun with your friends...and your Daddy(my best friend David) should be calling me up at 3 in the morning screaming he can't find his daughter'....
What the hell, no one ever listens to me right?....Well, she goes to work today and gives notice at the $ store..only going to work one job and since all of her friends work at Bush's, she's going to keep that job..T. (the boss) said thanks, Jackie, now your hours just went up....What the fuck?....After all these years, someone actually paid attention to me and did what I suggested?....Holy shit!...None of my kids or grand kids every listened to me..Well, that's not true..Jenny and Jamie left the Baptist Church because I taught them not be homophobes and when the Baptists said being homosexual was a sin, they left Bible School and walked all the way home..They said"if my Grandma says it's ok to be homosexual, it's ok with us."..They were 8-9 years old...proud moment in my life, I'll tell you that...
Margaret and Mary came by this afternoon. Soon as General Hospital is over all the little old ladies (including me) go check their mail..She came by to give me some 0f my mail that ended up in her box...I informed her that I had put her down as a alternate for Waco the 29Th of the month...She says"Does it matter if I'm not registered to vote?"....I freaked fucking out...'Your not registered to vote???? No more bitching about Bush for you Missy, until you're registered to vote...' Then I asked Mary if she was registered and she said no...fuck what is the matter with these people...You can't fucking bitch unless you vote..so I went to the Post Office and got the registration forms and will get them registered to vote..Mary said 'you'll have to tell me who to vote for'...
I almost had a stroke...no one can tell you who to vote for, you have to decide this on your own...After telling me she didn't know anything about 'all that stuff'...I told her I would down load all the information from Glassbooth.org for her..and would explain to her what the issues were and where the people running for office stood on the issues...Jeez, sometimes people piss me off..I told Margaret I'm going to kick your skinny ass. I can't believe you do all this bitching about Bush and his crap for the past 7 years and you're not even registered to vote..'...I'm still steamed..I'm going to put a sign up on the bulletin board and let the old farts here know if they want to be registered to vote or need a ride to go vote to let me know...Being an old fart is no excuse..Of all the people voting, they should care the most..sheesh!...
What else can I bitch about.....Babs brought back the Gnome ...I will sneak over there and leave it again..
We've had rain and more rain...but honestly..I'm not bitching about that..especially after reading about how Maine, Ohio and that area have gotten so much snow..Ohio Hottie Kevin said they had 19 inches..holy shit..we were freaking out when we had a couple of inches last year..
OH, good news ...I have been continuing to have low blood sugar, so all day yesterday I didn't take my med's and haven't taken any today...My blood sugar went up to 179 after I had oatmeal with peanut butter, then I had a salad for lunch and after lunch it was 91...So I think I can control my diabetes with out the medication if I just eat right...(yeah yeah, I know...)..but I think I will try it and see what happens...I suppose I should ask Dr. E. but I'm going to try this for 2 days or so and see how that works...if it goes up I can split a pill in two and take half of one twice a day instead of 2 a day..I knew I could kick this diabetes ass...But that means NO Dublin Dr. Pepper..jeez...that sucks..sigh*
Oh, Shady Lane sent me a Texans for Obama bumper sticker...to go along with my We're the deciders by Molly Ivins and the black ribbon that says "enough with the ribbons"...Just think about how many people I piss off when I drive my truck to town.....yupper...life is fucking good....
ps...I just finished reading Duma Key...fucking rocked....little long..but it was vintage King..
