Almost Famous

Watching Kathy Lee and Hoda talk about Anthony Weiner's text "friend" and her now 15 minutes of fame.  I completely understand why she wants that fame and attention.  I think most people do. Most people want their place in this world to be a special one. Most people do not want to believe that their place on earth is along with the other thousands of unheard of and unappreciated.
I struggle myself with the need to make my mark of the world, to do something special and matters. And if I am quietly credited in the public eye for my awesome contribution, then all the better. I think most people are like me and want that attention.  If they don't acknowledge or know they feel this way, they are probably living vicariously through one or more celebrities.
It is no wonder that this girl glommed onto a famous politician. Then she used her bad behavior to get public attention. Kim Kardashian's example of becoming famous from a sex tape has ruined young "ladies". "If you have no real discernible talent and you want to be famous, use sex." It is so awful.  Farrah from Teen Mom has tried to do the same thing to extend her 15 minutes. It is a real shame, especially for her also semi-famous daughter.
I would draw the line myself before creating a sex tape, tweeting dirty tweets with a married man, or joining the porn community. I wonder if there are more people like me or like them.  I want to be special, but in a positive way.  I want the world to be better because of me. When I leave this world, I want to have made s difference for more than just my family.

Sick Baby

Luke is super sick tonight. It hurts so bad to see him hurt.
When you've seen your tiny baby get so sick he has a seizure, you can become pretty overprotective. I will probably stay up with him tonight.

Garbage Rules

Next time I get a brand new garbage disposal, I'm reading the entire manual. I've always heard all these differing views on its upkeep. It's not a very old technology, so how are there that many different theories on what you can and can't do with one.

Tornado Victim of Moore

I lived in Moore my entire life and have lived through many, many storms and a ton of close calls. May 20th my luck finally ran out and I became a Tornado victim.  My mom's house was completely destroyed with her, my husband, son, stepdaughter and me in the storm cellar under the garage.

Arrested Development

I think this show is a little funny, but I've heard people rave about it. Either I'm not smart enough to get it or it isn't THAT funny.  I'm almost done with the first season. Maybe the first season is mostly set-up and it gets funnier. Friends was funniest in the first season, but Community definitely peaked in season 3.

The New Absolutely

No one ever follows me on my blog and I have alot to say.  I spend all day thinking about things that I would share on facebook or twitter, but then I remember, no one cares.  Now that I am a stay at home mom, I am even more in my head all day with no one to talk to.  I am going to start blogging much more regularly, and since no one ever reads it, I can be super honest, which is what my psychology really needs.

I am going to explore all the crazy that I need to go through.  I am going to express my off-the-wall thoughts.  It will be very nice to get it out.

If you have stumbled upon this out of accident, move on, I'm sure I have nothing to say that interest you.  If you are a friend or family member that read something that hurts your feelings.  I am so sorry.  I'm  really sorry I couldn't tell you to your face.
