Lynette and Tom Scavo

I have a new show obsession.  Desperate Housewives!  I know what you're thinking, 'but Desperate Housewives hasn't been on for years.'  Yes, but I have Netflix and decided to watch it, and I am now starting on the final season. 

If you have watched Desperate Housewives, then you know who Lynette and Tom Scavo are.  I know that they are just characters on a television show but, I, in a way, look up to their relationship.  They have five kids and have survived plenty of MAJOR hardships in their lives together.  They're amazing.

Now, lets fast forward.  I just finished watching the last episode of season 7.  It was horrible!  They decided to separate.  The past couple episodes they have been constantly fighting and it was inevitable but, I always thought that they were strong enough to survive ANYTHING. 

The thing that bothered me the most was when Lynette said that when he left she felt relief.  After 20 or so years of marriage, she felt relief.  How can a relationship that lasted that long and went through so much end with the feeling of relief?  I just don't get that logic. 

Marriages end all of the time unfortunately.  I do NOT want to be a part of that statistic.  I look at my boyfriend and I am completely and madly in love with him and I could never think of feeling relief if our relationship ever ended.  I appreciate the writers of Desperate Housewives because they portray Tom and Lynette like a normal couple.  They have fights, they make up, they love.  But, SEPARATE them?  Their dynamic?  It's so unfair.  But, divorce is unfair isn't it? I will end with a photo.  Thank you for reading!

Meet Sparky, A School's Best Friend

I had to blog about this little story!  I read it in the May 2nd, 2011 PEOPLE magazine that I have had sitting around the house for over a year.  It is such a sweet and humbling story.  Like I said, I did NOT write any of the following story.  It was written by: Jeff Truesdell from PEOPLE.  I do not own, or claim to own, any of this story.  Have I made myself clear enough?

As adorable as the miniature dachshund was, his Missouri breeder held little hope that he'd find the pup a home.  The dog was cute, but he'd been born deaf and barked incessantly.  In fact the breeder was on the verge of putting him down when a family unexpectedly took him in.  But the family lost patience quickly and took him to a shelter.  The pup was as tough a case as they had seen.  Says Marsha Martin of the Animal Shelter of Texas County: "What in the heck was I going to do with a deaf wiener dog?"

Then she had an idea.  The dog was perfectly suited to a program at a state prison where inmates give rescue animals special training meant to make them better pets.  Using American Sign Language, inmates taught the dog basic commands--sit, stay, lie down--then wrote to the Missouri School for the Deaf in Fulton, MO., hoping for a home.  "He's an adorable, people-loving, 1-year-old, crystal-blue-eyed miniature dachshund ," wrote the inmates.  For school superintendent Barbara Garrison, "It was a no-brainer."  Students instantly took to the dog, naming him Sparky and begging him to sit on their laps and sleep in their rooms.  With a pet back home who answers only to voice commands, Catherine Slinkard, 16, says, "it was pretty cool to have a dog that would listen."  Adds Michael Miller, 18: "He's just like us."

I love that story.  Little Sparky and the little kids both have companions.  They found each other, and that is beautiful!  Well, that's it for now!

Phone Interviews

I received my Bachelors degree in December 2011 for Human Resource Management.  For a whole year I had applied to multiple companies offering positions and not ONE of them responded with an interview.  Until now!  Yesterday I had a brief phone interview for an HR Coordinator position and today at 1:00 PM I have another one for an HR Assistant position!  I am so excited I can't even stand it!  Even if I don't get either one of the jobs, I realize now that all of my hard work is paying off. I feel really confident that I will find a job soon though!  I want to leave Wal-Mart and begin my actual career.  How AMAZING it would be if it happened sooner than later!  I can't wait to begin my new path in life!  It's exciting and nerve-wracking but I am still looking forward to it!  That's it for now!

Ungrateful

Why do people have to show this piece of them? I grew up in a single parent household. I know what it's like to not get everything that you want. So when I get an object from a loved one or even just get to spend time with a loved one...I am grateful. Sure, my Grandma spoiled me rotten when I was little, but I never took anything that she did for granted and I never will. Life is too short to live it as a spoiled rotten individual. So when I see or hear of someone being ungrateful for what they receive in life I get angry. If it's someone close to me I become extremely disappointed. A few specific people come to mind as I am writing this. I just want to slap some sense into them. You have so much to be thankful for yet all you seem to do is complain and make everyone else's life miserable when you're around! Is it that difficult for you to.say thank you once in a while? Stop wasting your life with your unattractive, negative traits. Learn to appreciate the wonderful people in your life and.stop taking them for granted! Why do you think your shit don't stink? Have you SEEN the way you behave? The saddest part of this whole scenerio is that you will probably never change, and that's a damn shame.

Readers, what is your opinion on this subject? Do you think people can change after years of being ungrateful or do you think that it's a learned behavior that was instilled in them as children which would make the change of behavior near to impossible? I would love to hear your thoughts! Until next time!

Gamer Boyfriends

How many women know what I am talking about?  Boyfriends who are addicted to gaming.  This...is....my.....life.

I have been in a wonderful relationship for almost four years.  I am completely and madly in love with him.  He treats me like a princess.  The only thing that REALLY aggravates me is his gaming.

He...........is...........obsessed.  As a matter of fact, he is laying in bed directly behind me playing on his PS3 at this very exact moment.  He is on his headphones, talking and laughing back and forth to his gaming buddy.  Honestly, hearing that is like nails on a chalkboard to me.  He is currently playing an old game called 'Worms,' and not giving me the time of day.  Boyfriends that are obsessed with games suck...but I love him.

I feel like his games are his second girlfriend; like I am being cheated on by a flipping game counsel.  Most of the time it doesn't get under my skin too bad, but every once in a while it affects me.  It makes me feel like I am....alone.

He doesn't care either.  I have tried and tried to speak to him about how I feel and he tells me that I don't give him a chance to stop.  I have been up here for....at least 30 minutes and.....NOTHING.  Why am I surprised?

I barely see him because I work too much.  He is supposed to be going to school but I doubt that he is going to continue that for his second semester, and apparently games are too important to search for a job.  To be honest, I'm just venting but it's getting old.  He said that he was going to "cut back" and I feel like he has been playing even MORE!

I love him.  He is amazing.  He treats me like a princess, but lets be realistic, IT'S ONLY WHEN HE'S NOT PLAYING HIS GAMES!!!!

He needs to knock it off, and grow up.

Season 1: Episode 14: I Shall Believe

Peyton is about to tell Brooke about her and Lucas sneaking around when she receives a phone call about the accident.  Talk about bad timing.

Lucas gets out of surgery and is stabilized but in a coma.  Karen runs into an Officer and he tells her that Keith's alcohol intake was just shy of the legal limit.  She confronts Keith and is visibly upset and tells Keith to leave the hospital.

Haley is having a difficult time visiting Lucas in the hospital since the last time she saw him they were in a huge argument.  Haley finally went with Peyton to visit him but she wasn't able to stay.  She couldn't stand the sight of him laying there.  There was nothing that she could do about it.

Dan shows up at the Cafe and tells Deb that he is not giving up on his family.  He won't agree to a Divorce.  Deb has given up on trying, and just wants to get it over with.

Keith stops by the hospital to drop off a gift for Lucas.  A nurse mentions that the billing department is trying to speak to Luke's mom or dad about billing discrepancies. 

Luke's peers show up at the rivercourt to write messages on the court with chalk for him. 

 After a little coaxing from Peyton, Nathan shows up at the hospital to visit Lucas.  While he is talking to him, Luke wakes up.  Nathan heads over to the Cafe to tell Haley that Lucas was awake and that he visited him because he knew that she couldn't.  He also said that he doesn't regret using Haley to get at Luke at the beginning of their relationship because they would have never gotten together and she has helped make him into a better guy.  He took her to visit Lucas.

Karen goes to the dealership to visit Dan.  He was thinking that she would be upset that he authorized the surgery and immediately starts to defend himself.  She hugs him and tells him thank you.

I think that I would have reacted the same way Haley had if my best friend was in a coma in the hospital following an argument between the two of us.  I would feel guilt ridden that I said the things that I said and quite concerned that I may not be able to take it back and apologize.  I would also be extremely upset if someone drank before driving in a vehicle with my child (if I had one).  I don't care HOW nervous you are!  You don't do that!

Last but not least....Haley and Nathan.  I have been in love with their budding romance since the very beginning!  Even though One Tree Hill is over now, I still can't get enough of Naley!  I could NEVER get enough of Naley!  Hands down the most epic tv love story to have ever graced our television screens.  They make me swoon!
