Barack Hussein Obama

Could I vote for a man named Barack Hussein Obama? A multiracial man whose father was from another country? I man who most of the black race sees as black; yet also forgets that he "was" Muslim (but converted to Christianity). I feel that regardless of how much we may push against our childhood and our upbringing, it really never leaves us and has helped create and format who we as individuals are, how we thing, feel, and handle situations.

How does one go from studying the Kuran to the Bible? How does one believe in Allah and wait... now he doesn't he believes in God Almighty?


So let's see...

Hussein
Obama
Black
Foreign father
Muslim

9/11 is just too recent for me to consider the above to run for President of the USA.

I can't even begin to listen to his views because I can't get this out of my mind, "Barack Hussein Obama; former Muslim for President of the USA!"


10 years ago, I may have felt differently. But this is not my President.

You Are An Intro-Extrovert!

Sometimes you're social - sometimes you're shy You've got a bit of an Introvert / Extrovert split going on You enjoy all sorts of situations. Parties, small groups, and alone time. Too much of one, and you'll long for the other. You need variety! Chances are, you've got both serious and fun friends - and they don't get along.

Are You An Extroverted or Introverted Girl?

New Job

Grumble grumble grumble. I'm not thinking that this new job is the one for me. Unfortunately, I have to wait 6 months before I can be considered for another position in the company.

I am just as/if not more bored than I was before. Okay, here's something stupid to bitch about... Why is it, they want to pay me lots of money, to do NOTHING???

I have been asking for things to do, "You have a meeting in 2 hours, is there something I can help you with to prepare for your meeting?", "Any powerpoint or excel spreadsheets that need to be updated?" "Do you need anything typed, filed, LICKED????"

Sweet Jesus, give me SOMETHING to do that will me me feel like a productive and worthwhile employee! Is it too much to ask to want to EARN my pay instead of being made to sit on my ass for hours and hours daily? Ha! I told my girl last night when she asked me how my day was to smell my thumb (I've had it up my ass all day doing nothing!) LoL

Okay, I'll get used to it. I did speak with the admin that held my job for 7 years, and was told by her that she wanted to tell me during the interview that it wasn't a very busy position, but that my boss wouldn't allow her to. Dammit! I feel like he lied to me when he said that there would be work to do.

It's also very apparent he does like to be be bothered by me asking him for something to do. I went to all of his managers and offered my assistance to them as well and they told me they weren't accustomed to giving work out to anyone. They are happy doing it themselves.

I'll wait it out, until I can apply for other positions and just keep smiling.

I think I'll go wash my hands now though. LoL

Hungry Girl Goes...Out for Sushi!

Dust off your favorite chopsticks, people. HG is here with her top eight dos and don'ts of sushi eating!

1. The Roll Truth
Fewer rolls = a better idea. Why? Because rolls are loaded with rice. And rice is loaded with calories. Also, avoid anything deep-fried or mixed with mayo at all costs. And feel free to split your roll(s) with a pal!

2. Miso Hungry
Afraid you'll gobble up too much sushi? Start your meal with a cup of miso soup. It's super-low in calories (around 50, for a POINTS® value 1), typically fat-free, and it fills you up. Studies show that people who start their meals with a broth-based soup end up eating 20 percent fewer calories at that meal. Awesome!

3. What's your number, cucumber?
Ever hear of sunomono salad? It's thinly sliced cucumbers in rice vinegar, it's sooooo good, and extremely low in calories. Ask your sushi chef to make you one of these salads and ask him to toss in some shrimp and crab—you'll have a completely guilt-free, filling addition to your meal. Sometimes I'll just get a ginormous shellfish-packed sunomono and a cup of miso soup for lunch. Mmmmmm!

4. Sushi Dictionary at a Glance
Words to avoid at all costs—"tempura" (a batter-fried fat fest), "dynamite" (baked in a glob of mayo), "crunch" (another cute way of saying something is fried) and "spider" (typically a greasy, fried crab item).

5. Be a sucker for sashimi.
When I eat sushi out I tend to stick with sashimi. Sashimi is basically just sushi without rice (or raw fish on a plate!). Sashimi is often pricier than sushi because you get more pieces in an order. So if you want to have more variety, or save a little money, order sushi pieces, and only eat half of the rice. See below for more rice tips.

6. Get the rice right.
If brown rice is available, stick with that. And don't be shy, whatever rice you order, feel free to ask your sushi chef to serve your meal with less rice. Typically sushi chefs are happy to accommodate this request. It's a neat little trick that really helps.

7. Whassup, Wasabi?
Mixing a little wasabi into your soy sauce (or add a dollop to your sushi if you're brave!) can be great. Spicy food is good for you, and it helps fill you up faster. Some experts even say that adding spice to food can actually speed up your metabolism a bit—not a bad thing!

8. Friendly Finds
More guilt-free friends you'll find at your local sushi spot include edamame (a 1/2 cup serving of shelled edamame contains 127 calories, 6g fat and 4g fiber, for a POINTS value 2), ginger (great for digestion and virtually calorie-free) and seaweed salad (typically about 50 calories and a POINTS value of 1).

Happy sushi-ing!

OR CAN YOU?

Social Anxiety

Your Social Anxiety Level: 48%

You have moderate social anxiety. It's possible that you have a serious social anxiety problem. But it's also likely that you can help yourself, by getting out more and trying new, scary activities. No one's secretly judging you. So be yourself, and if you screw up, just laugh.

What Should You Be When You Grow Up?

Okay, so my dear friend Tapestry has taken this test and I decided it sounded like a good idea. I will have you know however that I may age, but I refuse to become a grown up. Life is too much fun to be your own age.

You Should Be a Politician

Confident, assertive, and dedicated - you know what you want in life and how to get it. Stubborn and opinionated, you can stand your ground... even if it's unpopular. And while you have strong views, you never overwhelm people with your opinions. A true charmer, you subtly influence people into seeing things your way. You do best when you: - Work according to your own rules - Can change the world with what you do You would also be a good lawyer or talk show host.

What Should You Be When You Grow Up?

Grandchildren

Soo... I've caught some shit lately about not blogging recently (evil laff at the shit slinger).

We had a conversation this morning about my stepson and she told me "See? You could have blogged that!" So here goes.


We went to Pizza John's last night for dinner...

Took our son with us. I started harping on him about his girlfriend and when I was going to meet her. He informed me... he doesn't have one. Of course... I gasped!!!
Then said..
How in the HELL am I OR your father going to get grandchildren if you don't have a girlfriend????
His father said.... or a boyfriend??? you can always adopt!
I told him it didn't have to be right away.... but at least it would be nice if he were looking at prospects!

He told me he wasn't giving us any grandchildren.
GASP!!! I told him he had too... as his father's only child it was mandatory he had to give his father a grandchild.

He asked who made that rule. Of course I told him!

It was in the Rule Book!!!!
.... that I wrote

(I mean really! Is it so much to ask being a mother of 4, that I get grandkids before I'm too damned old to enjoy them??) Okay, I know they are a bit young 23, 21, 18, 17 but to hear that none of my boys want children and the only girl wants them, married to an idiot.

Anyone have any grandchildren for rent?

Here is my offer/negotiation:
1. Must have the option to return said grandchildren to their rightful owners at any time.
2. Must never be chastised for spoil said grandchildren.
3. Must never be corrected for having said grandchildren bake cookies and get to eat them.
4. The above mentioned grandchildren should understand at any time that as their grandma, if they are naughty, they may find theirselves in the corner or sent home.
5. Grandma gets to see them on all holidays, birthdays, and any damn time she wants.
6. Said child/children must realize that Grandma is not only the woman who loves to feed them, but really is just a big kid at heart and can't wait to slide down the sliding board or color in coloring books and read Dr. Suess to them and talk and giggle and play and and and

Where are my grandbabies????
