Well, I've got five days until my job ends and I'm getting some last minute jitters. I've been pretty cool and philosophical about the whole thing so far. I just hope I can hold it together over the next few days and not get upset.

One of the things that has annoyed me greatly is the way the politicians have responded to the Parkland High Shooting. You have the Right claiming that the survivors of the massacre are "being coached by the Left" and therefore, their concerns should be ignored. THEN you have the Left taking advantage of the survivors' activism to support their own agendas. I heard one speaker start talking about the tragedy then start making digs about Health Care and other issues. I couldn't help but

My husband has been going to AA, as I mentioned in an earlier post. He is doing well and progressing with the program. He's had some emotional setbacks and some stalling, but he has managed to overcome these and stick with the program. I don't know if anyone out there knows how AA works, but it relies not so much on preaching against drinking as it does on spiritual healing. You have to accept that there is a Higher Power, God as you understand Him, to whom you can turn all things over. My

Last week I was at home with my husband when I got a call from my manager. Luckily, I was sitting down. She said that my position was being eliminated, effective the 23rd of March. I will get a severance package, my 401-k, my pension, and four months of pay until I can get another job.

You know, once upon a time, I used to pull out my laptop when I got home to check Facebook. Now, I pull it out to check MLP Fan Fiction sites. I like to see the Feeds and see if any of my favorite stories have been updated.

I had a dream yesterday about the final episodes of My Little Pony. There wasn't any detail, it just flashed like a trailer in my head. Tirek returns and utterly destroys Equestria, leaving the ponies in an irrepairable wasteland. He, himself, is also destroyed. The only thing left is to go to another land and start again. Discord and the Princesses open a gate that leads to a new world and all the creatures of Equestria go there to live.

We've been trying to introduce more variety into our meals, so I decided to make Noodle Pudding.

This is a dish that I ate at an International Club dinner at the local synagogue, and it was pretty darn good. One of the members got me the cookbook that had the recipe in it and I have been meaning to make it, I just kept putting it off. Well, tonight I decided to go ahead and do it.

Sorry for the misleading headline, but I was thinking about this the other night and I was hoping for some buy in:

Has ANYONE EVER said or screamed their lover's name during sex?

I have to admit, I haven't. I usually use obscenities and once (I hate to say) I actually recited the "Jesus Prayer".

I wonder if yelling your lover's name is just something the romance and porn writers invented or does anybody really do it.

Any input?

Well, here it is! Christmas Day and I am watching Pinkie play with her new toys (mostly MLP). I love listening to her use the character's voices when she plays. She has Dashie and Applejack down to a T. She has such a great imagination, I sometimes think she could write books or draw comics. Maybe even write for a TV show or movie. That's what I always hoped for myself, but I've always managed to somehow not do anything.

I can hardly believe it will be Christmas in two days! We've got everything ready for it, thank goodness. The presents and the food have been bought so I don't need to go to the store. You couldn't get me anywhere near a retail store now. My step-daughter tried to go to Target yesterday and had to give up because of the traffic. (Our Target is right next our biggest shopping mall).
