Tales from the Gretchie Love

 Song of the Day : Why by Bronski Beat

I have almost lost my mind. Yesterday, I was ready to...or was that just everyday last week ?? Yeah, I pretty much over scheduled myself and to erase the feelings and stress of being overwhelmed...I became addicted to Twitter. Let me tell you how not exciting it is to be a nobody on Twitter. Nobody being...I am not a Hollywood Actress, I am not a Republican or Democratic politician,  a member of British Parliament, the Secretary of State for any country, and I am alas not a Rock Star. Well, at home I am, but outside the door of my home...I am a nobody. So, is okay to be a nobody ? Especially a nobody on Twitter ?

I applied for a job with a company in Dublin, Ireland. It's an online position part time and about 20 hours a week. They send you a 160 page manual on technical terms on rating websites and searches on websites. I had one week to complete the reading of this "book" and memorize the technology. Um...it turned out I had about 2 days to read it and had no time to really sit down and memorize the information. So, taking the test today SURPRISE...I didn't pass. I wasn't surprised, but, for $13 an hour I can get a job.....$13 is not worth it. It would have been nice to have the extra money, but it's not my season. I think my season is just volunteering and being a mom. 

I bet my uncle owned this lamb...

I am visiting my mother for an entire month with my children. I have a limited amount of funds to travel around the state of Utah and California. I am gathering places to plan on visiting while I am there. Since the weather is going to be about 4000 degrees (because Utah indeed is a desert) my options are limited to indoor pools and museums. Oh pray for me that I don't lose my mind. It's been nicer in the past when my kids haven't had the ability to express their boredom, but since we are spending so much time there....it's bound to happen.

Life is never going to slow down is it ?? Why does my back hurt so much ? What ever happened to Gavin Newsom ? What ever happened to the Pretend Spaniard ? How do I remove "sun spots" created in 1987? When is being pasty white and voluptuous coming back into style ?

Why is Gumby not a word ? or acceptable ?

Why is everyone in Georgia so freaking serious ? Why do my children refuse to practice good oral hygiene? Why won't my dog ever give on playing fetch? When is Jesus coming? Why does Diet Coke not have a can that says "Share a Diet Coke with Gretchie Love"?
