I have learned in my real life to keep things private and I don’t talk about things that really matter to me to anyone but Bill. I have found it easy to type about things that I can’t say to most people on my blog though as many other people do and we really deserve it when people call us out on things we write because we put it out there for the world to see. I enjoy reading blogs about things that happen to real people in their real world. Maybe some things I should keep to myself.
Just because I’m depressed doesn’t mean I should subject people to stupid posts like my last one although I might consider most of my posts as stupid lately. I decided not to post any more about my son and his condition because it’s just too depressing for most people as it is for me. I am hoping to go down in January and I hate that he is so far away and I can’t just pop over when I feel like it. I’m sorry to share with you that my heart is breaking and I am drinking to dull the pain.
I can’t even get pictures of my new grandson because they are too busy just trying to survive and get through this horrible time. We read posts about real things that have happened or are about to happen and we share that persons unhappiness or triumphs and their ups and downs and we get involved because we care. I’m really sorry for typing things that may upset some people, but because I don’t know you nor you me it’s often easy, but maybe there are some things I should just keep to myself.
My little tree which I have had for 13 years I put up again, maybe this isn’t going to be a good year which I know it wont because I have a problem right now with my son and I have started drinking again. I will leave that there for the time being and wish everyone a happy whatever.
Bill loves to watch infomercials and yesterday he was really impressed with the nuwave oven so I thought that would make another cool Christmas present for him so I ordered it online and by the time I was finished the total cost was 250 dollars and I was shocked, needless to say he got very ticked off at me and told me to cancel it, that he didn’t want me to spend that much money on something he would probably only use a couple of times.
I was on the phone holding for an hour before I could cancel the darn thing, but in the mean time I checked Boscov’s because they usually have everything that is shown on television and they have the white one on sale for 99 dollars of course it doesn’t come in black and you don’t get all the accessories, but it wont cost me 68 dollars shipping either. At any rate if it works the way they advertise it then that should be good enough. I really am thinking about a parental block on the infomercial channels.
Since it’s infrared it’s suppose to cook food in half the time even frozen food and all the fat collects in a drip pan so you don’t have to worry about consuming that. I was reading reviews and many people loved it, but there were also negative reviews, like the dome cracks after extended use and a few other negatives, but because he seemed to like it I went ahead and ordered to surprise him because he loves to cook and we are trying to eat healthier and it even cooks a 14 pound turkey frozen.
He wanted one of those magic bullets last year really bad because of the stupid infomercial and I think he’s used it to make milkshakes a couple times so I should have learned my lesson for 70 bucks that’s a mighty expensive milkshake machine. From now on when he is watching how cool those products are on television and making comments about how he would like to have something I will totally ignore him, if he wants it that bad then he can order it himself and not get mad at me for spending my money on him.
It’s so hard to get hints from him about what he would like to have so my ears perk up when I hear him say he would like to have something however I did agree with him this time because that was way over what I had intended to spend. If I was rich of course I’m sure he wouldn’t have gotten so upset over the price, he does really hate it when I spend any money on him, but he expects to spend his on me. I’m not complaining, but I also like to be a giver and he’s so hard to buy for. No more infomercial ordering for me I’ll just give money.
I watched the Barbara Walters special and I was happy to see Frank Langella on her list. I like him much better now that he’s older, but I’ve seen him in so many things over the years that I couldn’t possibly name. Of course the way he looks always stood out, but for me he became more interesting and attractive the older he got and I can’t wait to see his new movie Frost/Nixon and I hope he wins an Oscar. I have always thought that Nixon was a great politician.
I honestly felt bad for Nixon and I don’t believe he was the only president to ever go over the line, he just happened to get caught. I always get Watergate and Westgate mixed up in my mind for some reason, but you have to remember it was back in 1972-1974 and my son was only 4 years old when President Nixon resigned. I happen to be one of the few people that I know who actually liked Nixon and was glad when Gerald Ford pardoned him.
I also liked President Reagan, but those are the only two that I have ever really been behind 100% and it doesn’t matter to me what anyone says about Nixon he will always be my favorite. I thought Nixon and Kissinger who was secretary of state made a great team and I was glad to see him endorse McCain last year even though we all know the results now. At least I know how he felt about the election we were facing and he thought McCain was the better choice.
Hopefully Obama and Clinton as the new secretary of state will be able to help us in the next 4 years…hopefully, but I don’t think I’ll hold my breath, but I’ll reserve judgement for awhile. I heard Leno talking about how he wont be able to find any comic material from Obama, but he was quite sure Hilliary would be able to help him out and I’m not sure why, but I took offense to that.
If Hilliary had been the Democratic party choice I would have voted for her. I wonder if she would have asked Obama to fill a position?
