  I just figured out what tattoo I want too...so we should all go together. That would be fun. We could spend our day getting our tattoo's and being thankful we aren't out going door to door anymore

  that's nothing Smokey,

  I go to the YMCA - that's where the devil resides! I have taken kickboxing classes and a dance class and intend on taking some of my girlfriends with me to a self defense class.... the JW way is apparently to not defend yourself and just take the abuse - yeah right....that's not going to happen.. I too am going to learn to kick ass!

  I will kick ass and no need to take names later - I don't care what there names are!

  i had customers yesterday, a couple, who said they had to get to a meeting by 7:30 last night.

  (red flag!

  ) i asked what was the nature of this meeting, and they said it was like church, and i asked what religion, and they were hohos.

  that's one of the reasons I don't like talking to my mom, she's always negative about everything. I keep telling her you can't live your life afraid of EVERYTHING! you can't be healthy if you are always negative like that, it ruins you in so many ways. that's why I keep looking for the good in things instead of the bad. it's helped me, too bad she won't listen to me, she could be happy too.

  I think you know best how I've changed Krysanthemum, but to those of you who don't know me that well, I have definately been a lot happier because I too am living my life not being afraid of anything. I used to fear dying because I wasn't going door to door and praying as much as I "should", so now I just live life the way I want to and I think I'm a better person now and more caring than what I used to be. and I'm not holding myself back from doing things that I was told not to do.

  I just got an email from a co-worker with the video of Weird Al's spoof of Chamillionaire's "ridin dirty" song. that's funny too, but still not as good as OK GO!

  for the two xmas's we have been 'out', wifey and i have celebrated christmas quietly with the grandkids and a few family.

  although we have had a tree - somewhat hidden from view inside - we have not ever put a light or decoration outside.

  this week i proposed to wifey that i light the large conifer in the back yard this season.

  I say crap and darn/dang a lot when talking to my mom, but with anyone else I let the cuss words flow. my ex-husband just asked me if I was seeing a sailor????

  but I remember saying s#@t when I was a kid and I got a bar of soap shoved in my mouth by my mom.

  somehow now I don't mind the taste of soap so much???? wonder why?

  I don't know who choreographs there stuff, but it's really cool no matter. they did that entire thing on MTV's VMA's this year too. they had to practice a lot!!!! my favorite part is when they go from the back to the front, they look like they are skating or something.
