30 Days of Truth - Day 16: Someone or Something You Definitely Could Live Without

1. Drama (not the theatre kind but the kind theatre people create outside of a play)
2. Being sick (ugh, I am miserable!  I am working on a great fever, so exciting, right?)
3. People I love dying
4. People I love being idiots
5. People who are mean to me or people I love
6. People who use scapegoats instead of admitting they effed up, or don't know what the hell is going on.
7. Not getting cast in things - I like being cast, it's fun.
8. Bigotry
9. Sexism
10. Extremism
11. Violence of any kind (that's right, I'm talking to you a-hole upstairs)
12. Sarah Palin (why won't she go away?!)
13. Fox News "op-ed" people
14. Asinine behavior in politics - by anyone.
15. People who attack others for their beliefs, not cool.
16. People who choose ignorance over learning something and forming an opinion instead of believing what others tell them to.

Well, I that's all I can think of at the moment, I'm sure there are other things that irk me.  If I think of them, I will add them - just for you!

Thanks for sticking with me through this blogging blitz, I am only four days of truth away before I am caught up.  As for now, I am going to go to bed, I mean sleep, I'm already in bed.  Wish me luck in getting better!

30 Days of Truth - Day 6: Something You Hope You Never Have To Do

I have no children yet. But from the post "things I hope to do in my life," you know I want them. And from that, I hope I never, ever have to bury a child.

I have been fortunate enough to have little loss in my life thus far. I remember one great-grandparent and her loss, my great Aunt Mary, Touchdown and Benz. I still have all four of my grandparents, my parents and siblings. And now I have this whole extra extended family I married into and care about.

Loss is an inevitable part of life, and unfortunately, when you care about a lot of people you will lose some of them. And it sucks. But I pray and hope and beg and ask and beseech and any other words that you can think of, that I never have to experience the terrible loss of a child, in anyway.
