Such a simple word with a simple definition, but why does it seem that everyone has a different view on what friendship means. 

I try to be the best friend as much as I possibly can.  If I tell my friends that I am going to do something, you damn well better believe that I will do everything in my power to do just that.  If my friends need $10 and all I have to my name is $9 you damn well better believe I will be hitting the sofa and whatever else I needed to do to help my friends.  If they need to vent out frustrations, they can yell and scream and punch and kick me if they need to.  I'll email out of the blue, if not every other day, to see how you're doing and make sure that things are well.  When I'm a friend, I'm a friend for life.  Isn't that what friendship is really about? 

If so, why is it that I don't get that back.  Maybe people aren't considerate, maybe they really aren't my friends afterall, they just know that I'll always be here.  When they want to talk about them, they know how to find me, but when it comes to asking me, "how are you doing" and actually LISTENING to what I have to say after that is something that  I can't say I get the same back from 99% of the people that I consider my "friend".  They always say "oh I've been busy and I'm tired".  So am I, but I'm never EVER too busy to take the time out of my day to talk to a friend.  Even if it's just to say "Hi, I'm thinking about you and wanted you to know you are in my thoughts"--Now how long did that take??? 5 seconds?  My friends can't take 5 minutes, let alone 5 minutes out of their day?? 

Wow--now I feel loved. :(

Maybe

We've started decorating for Christmas!!  I just love the Holidays.  We have our tree up already and some other miscellaneous items up.  We brought out the dancing Santa last night and Tori just didn't know what to think of it.  She looked scared at first, but once she realized that she was taller than it, I think she calmed down a bit.  She's also finally decided that she wants to clap.  She looks so cute clapping. 

We had to go out a few minutes to pick up a couple of things.  What the hell is wrong with people?? People are just so inconsiderate these days.  No one cares if they are in your way and blocking a whole aisle.  They seem to expect that you should actually go down a few more aisles and turn around because they're too busy looking at something to get the hell out of the way!!!  I don't know about you, but when I see that I am in someone's way, I simply move.  Hard concept for some people to grasp, I suppose.  Lately people just seem to be out for themselves and to hell with the rest of the world.  Where did common courtesies go???

Grrrrrrrrrrr forgot the damn smiley's working!!  That really irks me!!  Is it going to work any time soon??????????  I guess I could do it manually, but really, where's the fun in that??? 

Anyhoo, back to the much happier post that I was working on before I was so rudely interrupted!! 

I am so ready for Christmas this year!  It's my daughter first Christmas so it's even more special.  I can't wait for her to see all the lights and decorations.  She'll be so mesmerized.  Or probably not even care. Which wouldn't surprise me in the least.  We were going to go get her Christmas pictures done today, but at the last minute I decided that I'm going to do them  Anyway to save a buck or two..or three.  Pictures are expensive!!  If I take them, I know they will come out like I want them to..or at least I'll have more opportunities to get the "perfect shot".  I want to have her picture done with the Christmas tree and presents..so I get to have it my way and decorate this weekend!! Wooooohooooooooo  Color me HAPPY!!    :D  Ok, so I caved!  I did it myself...sue me. 

Well, I see the smiley's aren't fixed!  As I was saying.........

Me and blogging are just not doing very well.  I need to blog, even if I don't have anything "important" to say.  There are times I just need to get some things out.  So, whether I have anything to say or not. I am going to try and post something every day!  That's the plan anyway.  Haven't I said that before?  Maybe in another life?  Heck if I know. 

Today I was supposed to go to a bowling/dessert party thing at my husbands work.  It's some spouses thing.  Well, I was in charge of it this month and only 2 people RSVP'd so today, the Commander's wife decides maybe we should cancel it.  Of course she tried to make it seem like I am the one that thinks cancelling it is a good idea.  Which is fine, cause they all suck anyway.  I'm SO glad to have gotten out of it.  BUT she also tried to say that people just don't want to go out, because it's a weekday...bull shit!  I had one person email and say she is going to play Bunco instead...whatever.  I sound bitter, don't I??  I really shouldn't be.  It's not like I've ever attended any of this crappy things.  I just got tagged for this month, but I can guarantee that I won't be going to any of these "meetings" and I certainly won't be in charge of one again. 

 Damn officer's wives...so snotty!

Ok..remind me first of all not to post a smiley...thankfully I had only typed one sentence and not a book, like I had done earlier. 

Toby went back to work this morning after a lovely 4-day weekend.  We did manage to get a lot of things done this weekend, which was great!!  Miss Victoria got in a bigger room, and I got her smaller room as my office.  I *heart* my office!!  It actually looks like an office and not a guest bedroom or anything else.  I'm definitely thrilled.   Tori seems to like her new room, but she's only 7 months old, so if she doesn't like it she can't tell me about it..which is probably best. 

We took Tori to the pumpin patch on Sunday.  Her very first pumpkin! That's a huge deal here.  I love Autumn and I was so glad to take her for her first pumpkin.  She loved the dirt more than anything, though.  I got some cute shots too, so that's even better. 

Anytime I can get good pictures I'm a happy camper!

! Like I needed more things to occupy my time.  I think there was a reason I stayed away from this game for over a year.  My friend and my husband both tried to get me to play for about a year but I wouldn't have it!  I gave in recently and I am slowly understand the need for an EverCrack fix! How much longer til hubby comes home??? 

I had an incredibly long post typed up and it just vanished!! WTF!!  I finally got around to updating and look what happens!  Sheesh!  I guess I'll try and do this update tomorrow..I've got to get to bed!! 

I hate when people call and don't leave a message!  Why do you think I spent my money on an answering machine?  You obviously wanted to talk to me, or you wouldn't have called in the first place!!  That irks me!

I am so bad at keeping up with this blog.  **Must do better** 

My baby girl has 2 teeth!  That's something, lol.  They have been bothering her a lot lately, but she's a trooper.  She's getting to be so big and so independent!  She just turned 5 months on the 1st and she already thinks she's grown.  Why can't life come with a pause button??
