So here's the deal. As you all know, its been rough for me the last couple of months. So my blog posts have not been happy ones, and neither have my facebook statuses. Lots of negativity and crying, bitching, etc. I know that I made this blog site for the sole purpose of keeping that off my FB, but some of it did come through on facebook simply because every friend I have in the world is on there, and when shit gets rough you reach out to your friends, right?
Wrong.
Apparently one of my high school friends, her daughters, and her mother all decided that I wasn't worth being friends with anymore because I am so negative lately. I noticed a couple days ago that my high school friend wasn't on my friends list...then I saw her kids leave also. Then I see her mother post a status saying something to the effect of "the people who bitch about being negative are usually the ones with the most negative to say" or something like that. So I asked her flat out why her daughter and grandaughter's booted me and she says flat out..."the whining and drama". I was floored and hurt, so at first I just replied with "oh, ok. my bad" I didn't mention to her that when her daughter was on a lot complaining about her out of control son in her statuses, her van breaking down, etc, that it never occurred to me to unfriend her during the month or so of her complaining on FB. Friends don't do that.
But then I started thinking about it and thought.....why the fuck would you kick someone who is down?? Who does shit like that???? So I wrote her mom another message that said roughly that I have had some horrible things happen the past few months, and that I didn't realize the friendship with her family deem I be happy all the time no matter what. That the reason I do post on facebook is because I am reaching out to my friends.
Then I blocked her.
However, she's not blocked on here. So if your reading this Kathie, or Lisa, ....you both really upset me with what you have done. Lisa, you could have used the option that is there to just not see any status I wrote unless you were tagged in it, but no, you wanted me to know that I had bothered you with the fact that my life has been turned upside down, and you wanted me to know that I didn't matter enough even as a human being, to at least let me vent. Kathie, your comment about negative people and being the most negative...whatever. My marriage has been ripped apart, I have had some serious news about my health, ...yeah I think I have the right to talk about that on MY facebook and not to be lectured to about my "whining and bitching" ...I thought you and your family were my friends. Obviously I was wrong, so now you have been blocked so you don't have to be bothered by me.
God forbid either of you have something horrible happen to you, and the people you thought were friends shit on you for it. It's not a great feeling, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I hope you learn to be better humans to other people, even strangers. Learn some humanity.

Betrayal and Loyalty..
What a week.
I know there is a lot of you wondering wtf is going on lately. Those of you who follow me on Facebook are probably aware that something has gone seriously awry in my life, and that most of my statuses seem like whiny pity fests.
Well, they are. Sorry, but it is what it is. I have been married for almost 18 years to my husband, have known him for twenty years. Like all married couples we have had our ups and downs, our arguments and our really hard times. However, something happened this past week that tore our relationship apart....rather, it tore me apart from it.
To make this a shorter story, I ask that you refer to the very FIRST post I made on this blog back in January. It's a short one, but important to this story. Here is a link to it http://shansief.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2013-01-26T07:42:00-08:00&max-results=7&start=7&by-date=false
At the very end of that post, there is a line that reads "Oh, and for the record, my husband wants nothing to do with someone who treats his wife like shit, and that came straight from his mouth..."
Apparently I was wrong.
Last week we were at the store, and I noticed my husband wasn't beside me so I walked up the aisle to see if I could see him. I look over into the next aisle and there he is, hugging the very woman who had wrote me such a hateful email...that I talked about in that first blog. He's smiling and laughing with her, and then he sees me and walks up to me...as he nears me he points at me, smiles and says "Don't you say one word!!" She looks over at me and smirks. I promptly dumped my purchases at the register and walked out to my truck. He pays for the merchandise, gets in the truck. I am so upset and hurt that he would have anything to do with someone that was so awful to me (mind you, we have talked about this person before and he was WELL AWARE of how I felt), that I am bawling and I flat out tell him he's a piece of shit for doing that to me.
He gets mad at me because I hurt his feelings by telling him he's a piece of shit.
He then goes on to be shocked because he can't figure out what he did wrong.
He has made is perfectly clear now where I stand in his life, and what he thinks of me, by doing that. He has done a lot of shit in the past 18 years, but that was probably the most hurtful, embarrassing, mortifying thing yet. It's not something you can fix, and you definitely can't believe a sorry that comes after "It's not my fault, she approached me and I was shocked", "She came up to me, I didn't even see her till she was there" and that one was followed minutes later by "I saw her walk in the doors of the store", ...then denying he said hald this stuff.
So as of right now our relationship is up in the air until I decide whether I can get past this, or if I want to separate for awhile or if I just want to divorce.
I really think he did this on purpose though, I have felt for years that he has wanted out but doesn't want to look like the "bad guy" to people...much easier to make me want to leave and put me in that position. Especially since he hasn't done a damn thing to show me that he wants me to stay, even though he knows I am about to walk out the door.
So that's the story. Sucks to be me right now.
Peace,
Shannon

So Much Change
Yikes, it's been way over a month since I posted. I really did start this blog with the intent of writing at least every other day, but life gets in the way I guess :) Anyhow, this post has the potential to be very long and might be all over the place, so hopefully you can hang in and read to the very end of this one.
Let's see....a couple months ago, my mother fell down her stairs and shattered her ankle. She had to have surgery and then had to recover a bit in a nursing home type thing. She's back at her home now, and seems to be doing well, except for a little cabin fever. Im so grateful that my sister Cathy and my niece Sarah were there to help her, since I cannot get there to help her (or my father either, who is in poor health..thank god for Cody being there) due to this stupid disorder of mine. Nothing like feeling helpless when your parents need you :/
May was a terrible month for me this year. Mother's day was absolutely horrible...spent all day in my room crying. My birthday was fine, but it was the first birthday since getting diabetes, and it was hard to not demolish the super cool Avenger's cake I had. I also had to make some seriously difficult decisions and changes in May, and people with severe anxiety like mine HATE change...it makes us feel like we don't have a handle on whats going on around us, like we have lost control. Unfortunately there are times in life when you can't control what is happening, it is what it is, and those are the most trying times for people like myself.
One of the changes I had to make, was removing someone from my life that never really was a friend to me thought they always claimed they were. It wasn't a planned thing, it was brought on by a comment this person made to me and it was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. I had known this person since 1989, and all through our "friendship" there were comments of me being a bad parent, times (early on when we had more than friendship) when I depended on this person for my welfare and my son's welfare where I was forced to leave my home, having to deal with women who had an addiction of some kind always coming before all his children.......I even had to put up with one of his women trying to sabotage my social security case years ago, and when he was told about it, he ignored the situation so his woman would not get mad at him. The comments about me being a bad parent were probably the worst....he always was commenting negatively about my parenting. Finally a couple weeks ago, he made yet another comment about it, and I snapped. I cut off all ties with him. Was it hard, yes. I think the hardest part tho, is that he thinks everything he did was ok...he really thinks that all these years he was such a good friend to me :(
Anyhow, that was a hard thing to do and it is having a not so great result on my son and I's relationship at this moment :( I am confident tho, that it will get better. At least, I am hoping it will get better :(
On a brighter note, I have made a new friend :) It's really hard for me to make friends and keep them (anxiety people are usually looked at as "high maintenance" people and being friends with us and our limitations is too much for a lot of folks) but my disorder doesn't seem to be an issue for her so that's way cool :)
We got a new dog for my youngest son, but for some reason the dog is attached to my hip haha. It's a year and half old Chihuahua named Rocco. He's a great dog, potty trained, listens well, and him and Cinnamon get along great. He's a larger Chihuahua, about the size of an adult cat, and doesn't sit there and shiver and whimper like the smaller ones tend to do. He also doesn't bark a whole lot, unless he hears something outside a door, then he barks the walls down. Good for home security I guess, since Cinnamon the chocolate lab will just take folks by the hand and bring them in the house to play with her :/ Rocco is easier for me to walk too, so I take him with me when I do my exercising to lower that annoying blood sugar.
Speaking of blood sugar.....yeah, diabetes sucks. I am actually beginning to envy the people who take insulin shots...they can eat things, and just take enough insulin to regulate their bodies. Not so easy for those of us who try to control it with diet/exercise....and when you add in the dental issues I have so that limits my food even MORE...yeah, diabetes is the suck. My fasting blood sugar (your blood sugar reading when you first wake up) is horrible...at least it is for me. It runs between 150 and 180, bleah. My readings during the day run between 130 and 165 so that's not TOO bad, but I want it to be better. Couple months ago I busted out a 258 in the middle of the day and that scared the shit out of me. I have a neat meter that shows your averages tho, and as of today my 7 day average is 152, and my 90 day average is also 152 so it could be worse. Stress is a huge issue for me too, and I think that is a big part of the blood sugars not being where I want them to be.
And that leads me to this.....we are going to be moving. Tentatively before next fall, but that's subject to change. We will be staying in town of course, but for my health I have to remove myself from the environment I am in now. Those of you who pray, please add us to those prayers that a place opens up for us very very soon.
I think that's about it for now. Wow, told you it might be long hehe. Anyways, thanks for reading.
Peace for all of you,
Shannon

Well hi! I know, it's been a long time, but believe it or not I have been super busy. I should write notes in between blog posts so I can remember everything I want to write about in my blog hahaha.
So let's see...last weekend was the annual city wide garage sale here from friday to sunday. We put out a table but didn't do too well. We didn't really expect to tho, so it was all good. Bob and Roz came and put up a table too so it was really fun just hanging out. Weather kind of cooperated..but def could have been better.
Monday brought a sad day. My youngest son's basset hound, Bentley, passed away. We think he had a series of strokes a few days before that, because he suddenly could not walk and began to urinate and defecate wherever he was lying down at. He had been having seizures for awhile now, and was ten yrs old. He's not struggling now and is running over fields of green with Kasha :) RIP Bent.
With that being said, here is an example of the type of people I have to live around in my apt complex. The Thursday before we had Bentley put to sleep, is when he started to have a problem walking. However, if we picked up his hind end and sat him on his feet he was still able to walk outside, albeit a bit wobbly. We told my son at that point that it was time for us to let Bentley go. He asked us if he could have the weekend with him and of course we said yes. Two days later, on Sat, we think he had another stroke and that was when he wasn't able to walk at all. He was in no pain, there was no whimpering and he was still eating and drinking just fine. To be honest, if the vet was open on saturday we probably would have talked to my son and did it then, but they aren't open on weekends. Anyways, my point is, we did not let him suffer nor were we inhumane. The first time bent had to go outside after what we think was his first stroke, someone who is supposed to be my friend apparently sat outside making horrible remarks about what shitty people we are to "let a dog suffer like that" and that they should not have to look at the poor dog.
Anyone who knows me knows I do NOT let animals suffer, and in fact I will go without to make an animal more comfortable. I have even risked losing where i live to help an abused or sick animal. So yes, these are the kinds of people I have to deal with daily. Real nice, huh.
Speaking of apartment living, I am really liking the new manager. She's doing quite well, and doesn't take any shit. I think she will be able to handle the more troublesome tenants we have with ease. Hopefully she stays around and doesn't get overwhelmed and leave.
Diabetes and I are currently locked into a power struggle that I am determined to win. My fasting numbers in the morning are high as hell (for me) and are elevated all through the day. However, I am pretty sure I know what the issue is, and I am busting my ass to remedy it and stay on a healthy track. Such an annoying fucking disease, diabetes lol.
Ok, think that's enough for now. I have plans for this weekend that I am hoping are going to relax me a bit from the stresses of where I live. You all have a nice weekend :)
Peace,
Shannon

Man, I Need To Blog More....
I really should blog more....it seems I forget unless something not-so-good is going on, and I don't want it to be like that all the time. I mean, yeah, my blog is great for venting and whatnot, but it's also good for just jibber jabbering about a variety of topics....like this entry is going to be :D
Found a new game, Cards Against Humanity. OMG, this game is HILARIOUS. It can get really crude though, you have to have a pretty sick sense of humor to enjoy it. We've played it a couple times now with friends and we have all muttered "Oh, I am so going to hell" at some point while playing it. Haven't laughed like that in a very long time tho. Best friends + a good game = love and fun :)
Got my hair cut today, then I messed with some color and it's totally fucking awesome. I also found some leopard print stuff this past week so I am excited about that. I LOVE leopard print clothes, blankets, anything. I found some leopard pajamas, a blanket, and some kick ass wedge flip flops in leopard print. Go me.
Oh! Most of you know this, but I got a new tattoo on sunday, and it fucking ROCKS! Its the Avenger's "A". It is so bad ass...There are pics of it on facebook. I got it on the inside of my right forearm, and that shit HURT when he got to the outside. Next month I am hoping for birthday money or gift certificates to Noguts Noglory Tattoo shop here in town (HINT lol) so I can add the 4 symbols that I want to it.
Ok, off to rinse this shit out of my hair and see what new look I have come up with now :D Will try to post more later
Peace, ya'all

Insecurities
I've always thought of myself as pretty self confident in my looks, I've never worried about how others view my appearance. It's not that I thought I was beautiful or drop dead gorgeous, it was just that I didn't care that others felt I wasn't, lol. I change my hair color every couple weeks or so, I use odd colors like pink or blue, I walk around with no teeth....I don't wear trampy clothing, but I really hate to be constricted so I do wear cleavage revealing tops a lot even tho I am overweight...other people's opinions just didn't matter to me.
Until now.
I don't know if its because my birthday is next month and these fucking birthdays seem to come faster and faster, if it's the fact I am diabetic, my disability, summer coming, or all of these things and more, but lately I am extremely insecure on how I look and how others see me. And let's be honest here folks, I look absolutely horrible. I must have been looking like a fool these past few years...walking around like I was a supermodel. Wtf was I thinking?
I took a good look in the mirror today and I realized.....I have been hiding from the mirror. Literally hiding. Sure I used it to brush my hair and other small necessities, but I made those quick as lightning. So I took a good hard look today and I was appalled at what I saw. I was so pretty when I was younger. Now I can't even see any of that person in me. NOTHING.
Anyways, please do not leave any comments referring to me being pretty, or that I look fine. That's not why I wrote this and to be honest, I will know your lying and that will just irritate me. I am not looking for compliments, just posting how I feel and what changes my mind is going through now. Due to my disability, I have to be careful that this doesn't send me into a depression, thats my main concern at this time. I'm just shocked and disappointed that I let myself get this bad.
Bleah, so much on my mind. So much stress. Will write more later.
Peace,
Shannon

Due to my disability, I have to be careful that this doesn't send me into a depression, thats my main concern at this time. I'm just shocked and disappointed that I let myself get this bad.
Bleah, so much on my mind. So much stress. Will write more later.
Peace,
Shannon

General Catch-Up
Hello world, it's 6:45 in the morning and I have been up since 5am. Wish I could remember what it's like to get a good night's sleep. I'm one of those people that could be absolutely exhausted but I just can't get my brain to power down overnight...I can fall asleep easy, I just can't stay asleep. Bleah.
Anyways, so let's see....what has happened since my last blog post.....Oh! Met the new apartment manager, she seems nice and capable of handling herself here. You have to be tough to manage here, some of these tenants will chew you up and spit you out if you show any weakness, lol. Speaking of tenants, I had a run in with one of our nuttier ones last week. Some of you might have seen my apology for my behavior on facebook....in 6 years of living at this complex I have never got in anyones face and screamed in public like that. At least now she knows to never again mistake my kindness for weakness. Sorry, got derailed there....so new manager seems cool, at first I thought she had an issue with me due to some comments she had made to me, but I talked with her about it and everything seems ok :)
Grandson has been sick lately. Poor kid just can't catch a break with his psoriasis. He's on some meds now tho so hopefully the little guy will be feeling better soon.
Ironman 3 is coming out in about two months, so that means a ton of stuff promoting it is in stores! This is heaven to an Ironman/Avenger collector like myself :) :) It also sucks cause I am poor and cannot buy most of what I see lol. I have a birthday coming up tho, so hopefully it will be an Ironman/Avenger bday.
Blood sugar seems to be getting back under control a bit....I wish I could get readings below a hundred though. This past week I have been averaging between 120 and 140 two hours after eating. And my wake up readings are always so high (for me) no matter what I do. I need to lose this weight, that's the problem. Easier said than done though :( In fact, I have gained a bunch more (Hence the reason my BS had been acting wierd). Keep in mind I do not take anything for my diabetes..I control it with diet and exercise....sometimes that really sucks tho, if I want something a bit sweet I don't have insulin to fall back on to average me out like other diabetics.
Adopted a ferret from someone that needed to find him a good home. I have never owned one before, or even been around one, so it's been quite an experience so far ....a great experience! These animals are so neat, they are smart like dogs, and they play like cats. And this one is very loveable..he gives kisses and really likes human contact. He makes me laugh, and lately I haven't had a lot to laugh and smile about, so he's been a blessing of sorts.
So it's spring break here on the Oregon Coast....also known as the "Beginning of The Hell We Call Tourist Season". Yesterday we had reports of kids throwing trash around the skate park, and some guy snorting an unknown substance off the hood of his car. In broad daylight on a Sunday. In the morning. Twice yesterday I almost got T-boned by out of state drivers who come here and forget how to drive. Hate hate HATE this time of year....after spring break it will chill out till Memorial day in May, and then from there to September it just sucks ass.
Well, that's about it for now. Wow, this post was all over the place wasn't it? lol...that's how it is in my brain though...thoughts bouncing all around. Take care everyone
Peace,

Jumble Of Things
Been awhile since I wrote a blog post. Sorry about that, been kinda busy, kinda stressed and kinda sick. One of the three seems to prevail everyday hehehe. Anyways, I have a ton of topics running through my head in a huge jumble, so I am going to try (keyword here...try) to get some of it down on paper here (well, virtual paper anyway).
I guess we have a new apartment manager showing up next week. Please please PLEASE let her be strong enough to deal with the idiots, but nice enough that you I don't want to hide in my apartment to avoid her. She needs to be tough though, or some of the tenants here will eat her up and spit her out. I don't know if she is going to live on site or not, prob not though. The last two haven't.
Speaking of tenants...one of them is a guy with a fake right leg from the knee down. He got a bit intoxicated last night and fell on his fake leg...he shattered his hip and broke his femur. He had surgery today, I hope he's doing alright and gets to come back soon.
Walking dead......ANDREA NEEDS TO GO. She has only ever been good for two things that I can see...screwing and becoming zombie food. She's already boinked the couple of guys dumb enough to go there, so now it's time she becomes a brain quiche. For real, that bitch has GOT to go. Serious.
So, got over my strep throat. However, recent weighing shows that I am actually heavier now then I was when I was diagnosed with diabetes. Not sure wtf is going on here, but I need to lose the weight and fast or bye bye controlling diabetes AND my blood pressure naturally, and hello meds that I don't want :(
Hell's Kitchen started tonight....woohoo! Loves me some Chef Ramsey.
OH! I got a new ride! Well, new to me. I can't believe I didn't start this blog post with that, since all I do from the time I got it is talk about it haha. It's a 1988 chevy suburban. It's a HUGE beast of a thing, and I love love love it. Thank god I finally found someone that would take a monthly car payment. Anyways, it was owned by a sheriff who used it for hunting and hauling trailers around. The inside is a nightmare, but it's beginning to look a lot better...it's amazing what you can do with some imagination and stuff from the dollar store :) Have had a lot of questions on whether or not I will be turning this one into a zombie response vehicle also, and the answer is .....maybe. How is that for definite? :D
Ok, that's about it for now. I have more stuff rattling around in my head but I am so tired right now, I just want to go to bed. So good night all, peace.

Well.....Crap.
Had to make some tough decisions this week.....the hardest one was that I had to pretty much walk away from a family member. I know that sounds harsh, and maybe it was...I don't know. There comes a time though, where you get tired of being used for what you can give. When I have something this person needs, it's all flowers and happiness and sunshine. When I am not needed for anything, then I am to blame for everything bad that happens. If they want something and I say no, I get attitude.I love this person so much, more than they realize obviously, but I just couldn't take it anymore. My health definitely can't take it anymore. The last straw was to blame me for something they did wrong. That's when I realized this person is probably not going to change ....thought I will pray every day that they do. I'm not going to lie, I am just heartbroken by all this. I am used to talking/seeing this person everyday...and because of all this I have actually lost three people by having to walk away from the one person. Just thinking about it bring me to tears. Sigh
I wish the sun would come out, maybe that would help me out of this slump I am in. I feel so alone most of the time, even if I am around people. I feel like I don't really have friends and those who claim to be really aren't, they just have ulterior motives. No one can really understand what my disorder does to me, how it makes me feel. To most people I am just "that girl that can't travel"..."that girl who has bad teeth and is afraid of the dentist"......."that girl who is just weird". Or just, "that girl".
Guess that's all I have to say right now...and re-reading it, it sounds like a pity party which I really fucking hate. It's not a pity party, it's just how I feel. I don't want anyone saying "ohhhh I am your friend" or "gee hope things get better", I just had to get this out of my head and hopefully putting it on here will do that.
I need a pensieve, like in Harry Potter.

Change.....
Well, it's been awhile since my last posting...sorry about that. Unfortunately there are days where I just don't want anything to do with anything, one of the joys of my disorder. Yay.
First off, two friends of mine are moving out of state. Tomorrow is the last day I get to see them. I'm glad they are going to do better things for themselves, but I am sad that I lose them. I also found out today (on facebook, no less, which bothers me) that another family member is moving this summer. See, this is why I don't like making friends. Everyone always leaves me and due to this stupid disorder I can't fucking travel and no one wants to come here to visit. In the past 2 years I have had over 10 friends leave...I think it's time I stay in the damn house and talk to no one but immediate family, and don't welcome new neighbors.
I have been really sick this winter, worst that I have ever been in over 13 years. Fighting strep throat right now. Thankfully I have a great doctor. What I really need to do though is get the guts up to have my teeth fixed right. Much thanks to the asshole dentist who emotionally scarred me for life. Asshole.
On a brighter note, my youngest son turned 16 on Feb 10th and for a birthday gift we took him to see one of his favorite comedians, Gabriel Iglesias, on the 22nd. We were able to actually meet him and take pictures with him, so that just made his night. Was a lot of fun, and I am so glad I was able to do that for my son. He's a great kid.
So, that's where I am at right now. It's not a good place at the moment, not at all. But you always hope that tomorrow will be different, that things will be better. You hope that for once a change will come that you will like, that won't send you into a tailspin of anxiety and fear. You hope.

Yikes. Wacky Blood Sugar And Other Issues...
I am a diabetic. I am always reading labels on food, measuring amounts of foods, or sticking myself for blood sugar readings. I got diagnosed in July of last year (7 months ago as of this writing). At that time my sugar reading was 464. I control mine (so far, and I intend to keep it this way) with diet and exercise. No pills or shots. For 6 months I have regularly stayed under 155 two hours after eating, until this past Monday night. I am not sure wtf happened, but I was at normal readings all day, ate a dinner that I have had before with no problems, and two hours later I hit 225 on the meter. Scared the shit out of me. Immediately I started chugging water and took off outside to start some brisk walking (at 9 pm in the fricking cold and rain). Within two hours I had it down to the 130's, but man that bothered me and honestly pissed me off, since I pride myself on my control using natural means with no medication. So now I am up to at least 3 long brisk walks a day, if not more. Diabetes sucks major ass.
On top of all of this I am having to deal with an ungrateful child, two friends who appear to be moving out of state soon to take a new job (sadface), a cold, sick dog, a cat who is ruining my couch by peeing on it, stupid drama that happens every fucking day in the area I live in, and eleventy billion other problems.
On the bright side, however....
I found my diabetes early and I am taking care of it as best as I can, my two friends will be better off where they are going then here, the cold is not as bad as other folks got , the drama is forced to stay on the OTHER side of my front door, and while I have a lot of problems right now there is always someone who has it much worse than I.
In other news, the avenger tshirt and avenger lego kit I ordered FOREVER ago got here today. Yay. For future reference in case anyone ever feels the need to gift me something, LEGO KITS! The bigger the better. Loves me some Legos. Helps me control the anxiety and OCD attacks :)
Peace ya'all

Bleah
Got the cold that EVERYONE seems to have, and not really in the greatest of moods right now. I am beginning to dislike where I live....always so much drama and hate around here lately. Its like people forgot how to be nice and forgot how to love. Sometimes I am one of those people also...sometimes it seems easier to be pissy and mean when really, it's not. I wonder why that is...why sometimes we think the negative way is easier when it isn't.
Anyways, I had a whole thing I wanted to write out today about marriage issues (not mine, we are good lol) especially infidelity but I just don't have the energy so I will leave that for another day. Or later tonight, who knows.
Peace and Love,
Shannon

Mix Of Stuff In My Head
So today marks 11 months since I quit smoking. Two and a half packs a day I was up to, and on March 6th 2012 I smoked my very last cigarette and quit cold turkey. It's kind of interesting how I did it (if you've heard this or it begins to bore you just skip to next paragraph hahaha). I knew I had to quit, my smoking was totally out of control and I was starting to show some physical repercussions from it. I decided I would cut down in the hopes that I would eventually be able to walk away from them, so on that day in March I came up with a plan to start smoking only one cigarette an hour. My thought process was that I wanted to get down to just 4 cigs a day, then totally quit. So when I woke up on March 6th, I was ready to put that plan into place. I went outside to smoke and thought, you know, I am going to hold off and see how long I can go before I have that first cigarette.............11 months later, to the day, I still haven't had that "first cigarette" :) Now, I'm not going to lie. I loved smoking. I miss it all the damn time. Smoking tricks your brain into feeling "relaxed", so for someone who has a severe anxiety disorder such as myself it's easy to want that feeling. However, I am so glad to be relieved of such a debilitating habit that I am able to deal with the urges.
There is so much stuff running through my brain lately, and I can't seem to get it all organized to get it down in writing at one time, so there might be a few days here where there will be multiple blog posts in the same day. BTW, feel free to comment on any/all blog posts I write here. The only thing I ask is that your polite, and you keep commests appropriate...no racism or sexually charged comments, etc. Just use common sense :) I enjoy debate and I really don't mind a differing opinion than mine on topics (even tho yes, I know I can come off very intense on certain subjects), just don't be a dick and come off as attacking or rude. And know that even if I get upset during a debate, we are still friends :) Unless, like I said, someone starts attacking myself or another person commenting.
In other news, WALKING DEAD IN 4 DAYS! This splitting seasons in half thing pisses me off lol. I mean, if you HAVE to do it, make it a month wait or something...not this damn long. Sunday is also my son Jonathan's 16th birthday so even more reason to celebrate. We will be taking him to dinner that night and of course we will finish the day off with some zombie watching :D
Ok, off to do the million things it seems I have to do today. Hope everyone has a great day today, and I might be posting again later this afternoon. <3

Gay marriage, why is this still an issue???
This subject is one that is near to my heart for many reasons, and is probably one of the most controversial topics around today. Though to be honest, I just don't understand why it is so controversial.
First off let me say, I don't see what the problem is with someone being LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender). Seriously. Why is this such a big deal? I don't get why people GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to make sure that LGBT's do not have certain rights, such as marriage. I completely understand if someone doesn't agree with an alternate lifestyle for whatever reasons they may have. Not only do I understand it, I don't have a problem with it, everyone has a right to their opinion.
That being said, how exactly does someone's else alternative lifestyle affect these people who don't agree with it? Does a gay marriage somehow invalidate their male/female marriage? Does it influence their life in any way?
Of course not. If gay people get married ...nothing changes or happens to people opposed to the thought of gay marriage. The sun doesn't incinerate the earth, an asteroid doesn't all of a sudden change track and plow through our planet, it doesn't cause a "traditional" marriage to end in divorce. It does nothing other than make two people who love each other very happy.
Now let's look at the "religious" part of this. I must admit, when people start with the whole "god says Adam is to be with Eve not Steve" bullshit, I get pissed off. Let me explain exactly WHY it pisses me off.
Number one: Last I looked not a ONE of us is Jesus Christ OR his Father. You want to bring what the "bible says" into this? Fine...it also states that only HE can judge not you nor I. It also states we are to love one another, help one another. Now, I am no bible expert at all, but I have yet to see where it says "Hey, be cool to one another but them gays? Yeah, treat them like dirt". These people need to quit hiding behind religion to hate. Again, you don't have to agree or like a lifestyle, but don't go out of your way to keep others from something that you have an issue with.
So what's my point here? It's simple really....just love each other for being human beings. Who cares what is going on in the bedroom of legal consensual adults, it's really not your business. It doesn't affect your life in any way. The more people keep harping on gays not being allowed to marry because it "ruins the sanctity of marriage", the more they look like selfish assholes.
For those of you who didn't read this because it was kinda long and I was really all over the place about it, lol, here is the abbreviated version:
Don't be a dick, be nice to others.

This and That....
So it's been a pretty uneventful last couple of days. Nothing much has been going on besides the typical things...grandson has a cold, I fell on my ass in the mud....you know, normal stuff haha. Therefore, I think this blog post is going to be about some observations I have made about people lately.
People are stupid.
I'm dead serious. I witnessed an altercation a couple days ago between a few people, that involved a lot of name calling and finger pointing. One of the things being said, by all the parties involved, was an accusation of drinking and drugs. Back and forth this went on (in fact, I think it's still going on in emails, texts and facebook messages) Anyway....
What got me was the fact that it is true about all of them. Every one of them all got this holier-than-thou attitude about the other, and they are just as "guilty" if not more so than the one they were accusing! Everyone knows this, and as this was a very public argument, they all looked like fools for trying to be someone they are not. Like I said...people are stupid.
On another note, my brother-in-law Bob had a heart incident tonight and got taken by ambulance to the hospital, then immediately transported to Corvallis. If you could keep him in your thoughts and/or prayers, I would appreciate it.

Every one of them all got this holier-than-thou attitude about the other, and they are just as "guilty" if not more so than the one they were accusing! Everyone knows this, and as this was a very public argument, they all looked like fools for trying to be someone they are not. Like I said...people are stupid.
On another note, my brother-in-law Bob had a heart incident tonight and got taken by ambulance to the hospital, then immediately transported to Corvallis. If you could keep him in your thoughts and/or prayers, I would appreciate it.

Walking Dead Thoughts..
First off, if you have not seen all three seasons (Well, 2 1/2 seasons at this point) don't read any further as there will be spoilers here. That being said.....
I can't STAND these mid season breaks The Walking Dead does. 15 more days till season 3.2 starts up (Coincidentally, that is also my youngest sons 16th birthday..yay!). They need to stop with the damn breaks and just show us the whole season at one time like most shows do. And here's hoping that Andrea gets eaten by a walker, because that character is like 20 levels of annoying. Hopefully she's with the Governor when it happens and he gets nommed up right along with her.
As my youngest son put it, "With Dale being dead, she really has no reason to be here..he's the only one who wanted her to stay alive" lol...I totally agree with him. That character is more dangerous to have around than the actual zombies. Who can forget her ignoring everyone else and accidentally shooting Daryl?!? (MmMMmm Daryl). That woman is almost as much of a menace as Lori was.
Ah, Lori. I suppose every apocalypse has to have a slut. That woman was all up on her husbands best friend from the get go..and how smart do you have to be to have unprotected sex during a zombie apocalypse? Because, you know, it would be really cool to have a baby right in the middle of hell on earth. Nothing like a baby's wailing cries to keep you safe while your hiding. Speaking of said baby...is it Shane's or is it Rick's? And how are we going to find out who the father is, if we find out at all?
Recently it has been said that there will be even more cast death's in the last half of season 3 (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/22/the-walking-dead-deaths-season-3-spoilers_n_2526248.html?ir=TV) I don't know about any of you, but I bawled my eyes out when Dale died, and I was quite upset when T-Dog became a zombie nom. All I can say is if they kill off Daryl, I will never watch the show again. Ever. EVER. Merle, however, can go suck an egg.

Turning The Other Cheek?
So the other day on Facebook, someone had posted a status talking about a change they were making in their life and how it wasn't influenced by something someone had said to them. I knew who the person was that they were referring to and the situation, and I posted a comment. Well, someone I was friends with at one time years ago had also posted a comment before me and she got bent out of shape thinking it was her I was referring to in my comment, and wrote me a rather nasty private message about it on Facebook.
I replied and told her it was not her I was referring to, and I told her who I was indeed referring to. She then replied back that she was sorry. Now, in her original private message she had made the comment " still the same shannon i see, so fucking glad i dont have to play the game with you anymore". And she ended that private message with "say hi to your husband for me". In essence saying she want's nothing to do with me but my husband is a cool person to talk to. Wtf?
That bothered me a bit, because I can't remember having done anything wrong to this woman. Don't get me wrong, I have done some crappy things in my life, but nothing I could remember having anything to do with her. I did note though, that she is friends with a person who absolutely hates my guts for something she thinks I did, but that I in fact did not do. However, instead of writing a scathing reply back, I "turned the other cheek" and told her "Wow, didn't know you had such an issue with me. Not sure what I ever did to you, but I'm sorry if I have hurt you in someway".
I then went on to say "I am not sure if I did something to hurt you in the past and if I did I apologize. I'm really not the horrible person that people think I am. I've made my mistakes in this life, and I've also been blamed for things I didn't do. I have changed a tremendous amount in the last 7 years". She never replied back.
My point to all this is I know I shouldn't let this bug me, but it is. I thought that if I turned the other cheek and apologized for whatever she feels I have done, that I myself would feel better about responding in a positive way instead of a negative one. And some of this is my own ego, I know. It just galls me that she apparently thinks I am this horrible person, yet she associates herself with two people who are just a toxic mess.
Anyways, I guess in the long run it's better to have turned the other cheek. But I can say it's not nearly as satisfying as writing this would have been..."WTF do you mean, "same shannon i see"?? I didn't do shit to you, I know your jumping on your crazy friend's little bandwagon and your old enough to know better than to do that. Grow the fuck up, find out the REAL story, and act like a real person. Oh, and for the record, my husband wants nothing to do with someone who treats his wife like shit and that came straight from his mouth" .......
