Trying "Ten on Tuesday"

1. I hate politics in all forms, government politics and office politics. I think I hate it because I've yet found a system that actually works and isn't corrupt. When I turn on NPR and they start on about the Tea Party or the Elections I try to listen, get quickly bored and turn it off. I feel as if politics is so corrupt that my partaking an interest will merely frustrate me an accomplish nothing!!! I know they say "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem" and I do feel guilty knowing that I'm obviously part of the problem, but I just can't bang my head against a wall like that, "It Hurts".
   
   
2. On items 5-9 of Chrissy's "Ten on Tuesday" she's talking directly to me, no one else, but me...I can feel it...and I feel guilty all over again.
   
   
3. I have to take my aunt to my grandmothers grave this Sunday of all days. My mother doesn't want me to take her, she says talking to dead people is inciting the devil to respond or something like that, like I could say no to my aunt though?
   
   
4. I just invited a friend over for dinner Friday night. I suggested that we could either eat dinner at my house or go to the local diner, which is a really good diner, not regular diner food. But I intimated that we'll miss out on our customary glass of wine with dinner as they don't serve wine. My friend intimated back that she'll just hide a bottle in her big mama purse and get all "ghetto undercover"!! I'm thankful for the word "intimate" and hope we BOTH have the same definition.
   
   
5. I've heard through the grapevines that our companies annual childrens Halloween parade has been called OFF this year due to complaints from some of the employees who are getting laid off. I mentioned them all before in another post, and I'm still trying to figure out what a childs joy has to do with their pain. I'm praying like any other gossip in my company that it's a case of  "Chinese Whispers" (Telephone for you Americans) and that it totally got mangled by the time it got to me.
   
   
6. I finally hit the "Proceed to Checkout" button on my Amazon Cart on the books I mentioned from this post. I'm hoping they become part of the solution and not part of a bigger problem, where by, I'm shedding too much light on the subject, time will tell.On the ride in today, out of the blue, Baby C told me that "A lot of people in this world are brown". She stopped at that, so I figure her mind is making progress.
   
   
7. Last week Baby C hauled in to Day Care, Big C's GPS for the "Week of the Letter G" and proudly showed the entire class the "Fastest Route HOME". I told her that her small "Guitar" would be just as good for show and tell but she's stubborn like her parents (I refuse to say like her mother) and she insisted. I'm literally terrified of what she'll think up for this weeks show and tell, only bad things come to mind for the "Week of the Letter H", a mere "Hat" will be too blase for her, I just know it!!
   
   
8. I can't play my ipod in my car unless I hook up the FM transmitter doo hickie thing into the cigarette lighter because my car is so old and I don't have an external auxiliary out. That FM Transmitter drives me batty, hence why I probably listen to far too much NPR, but my little Honda CRV was a college graduation gift from my mother and although it has over 150K miles on it, it still purrs like a cat and it knows that it's mommy will cry if she has to get a new car and make car payments. I've heard a Honda treated well can go way over 200K miles.
   
   
9. Last night I found myself falling asleep to "The Event" and then "Hawaii Five-O". It makes me sad to realize that I'm honestly getting up there in age when I dare say "What happened to all the good shows?" It seems like a show maybe lives a season now a days and then... poof...it's gone.
   
   
10. I hate it that when you shave/bikini wax (whatever you want to call it) and your pee goes every where! YES I know that's TMI but hey I hardly have any men read this thing and I know the rest of you know what I'm talking about.  Yeah maybe this "Ten on Tuesday" isn't right for me too much freedom not enough editorial restrictions!! I'll try something else next Tuesday! LOL
