Crap I just feel like saying.

**I am proud of my son. He is doing so well in school. It doesn't come naturally, he has to work hard, so he does. He is doing very well in his officer program. He says I don't say how proud I am of him enough. So I figured I would publish it for everyone to know.
**Love the old man at the top of the hill in our sub. Everytime we walk up that horrid hill, he sits there and claps and bows, knowing we made it, and he is impressed. It justs makes us feel good inside.
**I was resistant to digital scrapbooking, until last weekend's crop. My sister was starting. It was so cool. I think I will actually be more creative, which is what I was worried about.
**I think I am going to love digital scrapbooking.
**I am trying really hard not to get addicted to talk radio again. But it is hard, I want to know what is going on in the politics arena, so then I start listening and start getting too into it.
**It hurts to know that someone you think the world of, does not and never did feel the same.
**I hate that I care and let it hurt
**I hate miscommunication.
**I am thankful for the ENT doctor, who didn't tell me to take allergy pills, but that I had something wrong. So is treating me for it.
**I hate when you complain to your doctor about something for at least a year, and constantly told, just take allergy pills. But finally when I got pissed and wasn't going to take that as to the reason I was dizzy constantly, did they finally decide I needed further assessment.
**I hate that I never backed up my computer. A lesson learned the hard way.
**I am so excited that there are so many smart people out there. I thought all my music was lost, except what was on my IPod, but someone created a program to copy my music back on to my computer.
**I hate surprises.
**I wish people would leave their attitudes at home and not bring them to work. Just brings the atmosphere down.
**I love my new church, it is so cool.
**I hate it when someone does not use their turn signal--BEFORE braking.
