I suppose we all have our moments. Our patience wears thin, our tongues are quick to lash, and our defense are raised even before lips part. What I wouldn't give to erase every damaging feeling, but alas, we aren't built like that. Our mind perpetually rakes over and scrutinizes the details in the wake, storing away details for a later time.
I feel a 48 hour 24hour cable news binge coming on. Will it be the end of the world as we know it if & when we default?
I don't want to even look at the stock market come Monday.
Oh wine where art though... oh it's before noon so I better stick with a screw driver.

Sunday before 11:00pm they will come to a deal. Want to bet? :)
A deal sounds great. Then comes the mandatory allotment of time for debate and votes in both chambers of congress. We won't have a resolution passed and signed into law by by 11:00pm.
Not to mention, Asian markets will already be open by then. I am not suggesting I know the severity or the volatility of the global market, but I'm willing to put money on that the ramifications of a "no deal" will be evident Sunday evening before side blinks.
Anyway you look at it, they're being reckless.
In a way I'd like to see them default and shove this whole thing up the presidents ass in the process. He could have avoided this altogether by making the decision himself.
It will be a disaster for millions of people, they better get their shit together.
Lower credit rating means we all pay more in interest. If Moodys changes ours, stocks will drop drastically. Life savings can disappear, your next auto or home purchase will be vastly more expensive. Business capital will freeze... ie jobs will be even more scarce. Now that is if Moody downgrades us which will be severe, no questions about it. If we hammer out a deal before that happens...well at this stage of the game there will probably still be negative ramifications.
This isn't merely a President issue or a D.C. or a walstreet matter. It is much bigger than that.
Yummy Nachos that are only semi horrible for you:
1/2 of ground turkey (I use the 97/3 blend)
1 can of vegetarian fat free refried beens
1 cup of chopped onions
1 tomato chopped
1 medium sized green pepper chopped
1 bag of frozen corn
1 tbsp of minced garlic
3/4 of low fat mozzarella cheese
1 bag of trader joes whole grain tortilla chips
Cook the meet, onions, green pepper, and corn in a skillet.
In a separate baking dish (you could microwave instead though), create layers of the other ingredients. Spread evenly a base of refried bean. Next sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese. Then the meat/veggie combo. Cover with the remained of cheese, bake on 350 for about 10mins.
Pair with a Diet Pepsi, the Lincoln Lawyer, and great company- it was indeed a lovely evening.

That sounds wonderful! I am glad you had a lovely evening. ♥
That sounds deeeeeeeeeeeeelicious.
Sounds DEE rish! *Steals recipe and tips dog with a designer dog biscuit from the pantry. Slips out the window and runs away giggling and splashing through mud puddles*
No matter how stressed out or overwhelmed that I am, I could have it so much worse.
Perspective. Must never lose it.
I am reading through a lot of the Member Pages, forcing myself to go through the mush fest and find the gems. There are some really nice pieces that could use a little spell check or even the 'ol run through word to at least highlight grammatical mistakes. Now, I am far from perfect when it comes to writing, but personally I would strive for a well written piece.
I wonder if people would get offended if I started pointing out the discretions.
Where are where did the grammar police stamp go?
COMMENTS
I totally agree with this.
I think I still have one on my profile. :)
Case in point... it should be "where o where" lol
A lot of them make me want to vomit.
Well, if I ever feel the need to make myself throw up, I can simply read some of the member pages.
Seven's threatening to buy me an elliptical so I stop doing midnight trips to the gym. Apparently me leaving at all hours and working with only a few hours of sleep is concerning. Oh the horrors of being loved.
COMMENTS
How dare she care about your well being. The nerve!
On an uplifting note, it would be pretty cool to have an elliptical at home.
Gods- I don't know how you put up with her. *heavy sigh*
;)
Why do I have icing in my hair?
COMMENTS
I dunno, but I'd like to find out! :P
Hopefully for very kinky reasons.
How much did you drink? ;)
I survived the inlaws today. By noon I was drinking because frankly Seven's family makes me anxious. The dinner we hosted was lovely, though strange as it always is when it involves her sister's family. Don't get me wrong, they're nice...just very loud and very proud of their ability to consume alcohol and do stupid things. Boy if I was 20 years old I wouldn't be telling my mother about getting wasted and passing out on the stairs of a friends house.
But Seven's parents are very interesting rather nice even if I'm nervous around them. We are both lucky to have come from wonderful families.
The next few days will be mostly schoolwork littered with outings with her family. Did I mention tomorrow's high is 98? I just want to crank up the a.c. and curl into bed.
Inlaws. Doesn't the word just trigger a negative emotional response? I don't really mind Seven's family, but I still get edgy when they come for a visit. Today is sterilize and clean the house. Need to to clean the blinds, baseboards, and straighten up the downstairs library.
I'll hit up the grocery store later and make sure we have supplies for the dinner we are hosting tomorrow. I'm making Italian beef, salad, and low fat mint brownies. I should probably whip up another delectable side; I am indecisive though what would best compliment the meal.
Scratch that... after a break from the pc and a trip outside to brainstorm ideas while watching the pup run amok, it's going to be Italian beef, Seven will make home made potato salad, rolls, sugar free apple pie that we will buy from a local bakery and some vanilla bean ice cream to go with it. The adult beverage will be a Sandra Lee style concoction ie lots of flavored vodka mixed with fruit juice... and yes I am getting little umbrella because that is how I roll lol
Now off to the grocery store I go :)
COMMENTS
Post the results! And have some fun...love the umbrellas!
Have fun! :) Get enough drinks to make sure everyone has fun. ;)
That sounds really good! I hope it turns out wonderful.
Family gatherings, especially with some of my Missouri cousins can be a bit boring and nauseating. I empathise totally

I am actually thankful that I do have these moments because, despite making me do rash things sometimes, these are the moments that enable me to grow as a person. I would hate to never feel and I accept that the bad must come along with the good for me to have balance.
