  1. Twitter style blogging updates = Twupdates!

    January 17, 2010 by shishnit

    I’m on Conan’s side.

    I love Craig Ferguson better than anything NBC has.

    I am supposed to be writing a paper instead of blogging.

    I’m going to try to pay off my credit card debt in 12 months.

    Expect me to be cranky…see last twupdate.

    Keith and Chelsea broke up already.

    Rick is out playing poker at his boss’s house.

    It’s raining outside.

    It is finally warmer, but…see last twupdate.

    The paper I should be writing is about Socio-Geographic factors.

    Companies don’t publish articles or information about the above update.

    Paper not getting written.

    Someone I like secretly told me she’s pregnant. Shhhh don’t tell…but I’m so joyful.

    I’m reading 7 books at one time.

    I’m not liking reading classics, why are they so not fun to read?

    I’m being nicer, that was a 2010 goal.

    I found a debt calculator I love…it’s located at  http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/debtplanner/debtplanner.jsp

    I got a letter back about a job I applied for and I can’t have the job because I’ve never worn a uniform for the USA.

    My refrigerator is empty. My dinner was a cup of coffee.

    I’m lazy.  See last twupdate.

    I don’t believe anyone reads my blog so much so I skipped delurk day because I feared it would depress me.

    I read a lot of blogs.  Some I scan, other’s I read.  Some I just look at the pictures.  Some I laugh at.  Some I care about. 

    I love book review blogs, wish I had one but I’m lazy…remember?

    I write a book review column for The Brandon Gazette.  I’m too lazy to link…but it’s easy to find.  

    I should update my “about me” because it reads as so angry to me now…now that I’m not.

    It is lightening outside…Tampa, FL gets a lot of lightening.

    I don’t live in Tampa..but very close.  St. Pete.

    I love my kid, my husband, my house, my dog, my book collection, my paychecks and my Honda.

    I got a Clarisonic Mia for Christmas and have been blogging the hell out of it while in the shower using it.  I love it.  I look like I’m 10 my skin is so nice now.

    I exaggerate.  See last twupdate.

    Rick cleaned the entire house 2 days ago.  It made me very happy.

    It helps to leave a “honey do” list. See last twupdate.

    Our house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, 3 TV’s, 1 stereo, 1 alarm clock and no garage.

    My kitchen has stainless steel, granite, and no backsplash! I thought backsplashes were relatively cheap….why all the good stuff and no cheap backsplash?

    I have eclectic taste in home furnishings…I like what I like. 

    I have tons of “words” scattered about my house. I should proper blog that some day..and not in the shower.

    I am obsessed with coffee and I collect old coffee tins with cute sayings etc. on them.  Should blog that too.

    I need to write this paper.

    Fwuck!

  2. Keith and Chelsea

    January 12, 2010 by shishnit

    BEGIN RANT I really want to spend a long long time bitching about my electricity bill.  Last months bill?  $98.  This months bill $298.98!!  That’s 3 times the amount.  Fuck all those people telling me that I should be used to this cold weather because I’m from PA.  Houses in FL are not built for freezing weather. Also, I would like to state that while my bill is 3 times the amount…Rick and I have been walking around our house with big heavy socks on, long pants etc.  We cannot even get our house heated to 68 on any given day!!  Gah!!! Fucking FREEZING WEATHER!!  Don’t tell me about how cold it is in Denver, Ohio, PA, etc. etc.  You choose to live in those states and are well prepared. I’m in Florida and I want tropical weather.  Period.  Also, don’t’ tell me I’m a PA native and should be “used to” this.  That’s crap.  I’m used to 70 degrees in the wintertime.  Something livable only!  I leave my house to get warm in my car or in some retail location etc.  It’s warmer at work!! END RANT

    Ok now onto more important things:

    I asked for photos and permission.  I met the girlfriend and I really like her.  We had a rather long and extensive conversation over dinner last Friday.  She asked me tons of questions and it was a pleasure to talk to her.  She’s smart, bright, pretty, and respectful all at once. All the things a Mommy looks for.  But more importantly I can see why Keith likes her.  As with all things in life change happens…but for the time being they are together and are happy.  And they are cute together.  He’s nice to her, she’s nice to him.  They seem to be having a good time. And they are open and honest with me.  I won’t blog personal things but I will say that they talk to me on a level that I appreciate.  They respect me and in turn that makes it so easy to respect them.  Chelsea is also friendly and down to earth.  I like her.  I’m happy about it all because I also like Keith.  Strange to say that perhaps about one’s own kid because obviously I love him madly, but I also am grateful that I LIKE him too. 

    The entire time I was with them, I kept thinking about my first love…how new everything is etc.  I felt old but I also felt proud of Keith and happy for him to be experiencing these things in his own life.  I fully expect that Keith is now not going to crawl back into his crib, grab his bottle and take a nap ever again.  I’ve accepted it now.   Almost.  I asked Keith for pictures and asked for permission to blog ‘em.  He said “Yes. You can.” So……look….totally sweet…

  3. …and her name is Chelsea

    January 7, 2010 by shishnit

    Being a parent is a wild unimaginable ride on a roller coaster.  One that you cannot anticipate and one that I wouldn’t trade for the world. I’m going to meet Keith’s first “talked about” girlfriend on Friday at 3 p.m.  I’m more nervous about whether she’ll like me than whether I’ll like her.  I already know I’ll like her if Keith does.  Weird that I feel so strongly about that, but I do.

    Tonight was one of those nights when I really found out that I am not the mother I had.  I’m positive of it.  And it feels awesome.  As though I won the lottery because I can be a better Mother than I ever imagined for my own child.  So much more I could blog but I won’t.  Being a Mom…it’s really not something you do until your child is walking and talking and out there experiencing life not holding your hand.  Keith is 17, I’m so proud of him.
