Apologies to the Sunday Gaming Group
Yes the cold was over, but the pain had only begun. Apparently the cold was followed by a sinus infection. ow ow ow OW!
Final note to the evil gnome in my head: Stop trying to push my eyes out of my head. THOSE ARE PERMANENT FIXTURES! If they don't mach your furniture GET A NEW COUCH!
Update: evil gnome has stopped trying to remove my eyeballs with his feet and is now attacking my ear with a pick axe.
Update #2 according to the Doc, sinus infection is something that sometimes happens after a cold and shouldn't be infectious so theoretically I couldn't have passed on anything nasty at the game... theoretically. Have a good Con y'all, If I still feel this was the weekend no way can I make an appearance.

Keep? Delete?
Here are four necklaces that are variations on a theme. I'm going to re purpose one of them. Based on how they look on me, and how interesting they look, which one should I re purpose?
This one stays, it took many hours and some $80 worth of beads, but I show it to help decide which of the others is redundant
 
This is the one I like the least.
 
This is the one I like the most
 
This is the one I'm most on the fence about
 
What think you? Which one is working least and needs to be remade into something new?

[Link] | On second thought, it would be irresponsible to expose my three year to the vandalism and harassment. I still don't like bumper stickers because it allows people to judge me and even do violence against my possessions without looking me in the face. I will still tell everyone the church was wrong, but I'd rather not get stranded somewhere with a three year old and four slashed tires. That just isn't safe. If it were only me it would be another thing. Be mad at me if you want, I know I can't protect Erin against everything, but I can protect her against this.

[Link] | If someone makes me a bumper sticker that says "I voted no on 9" I will go to church every Sunday and park next to all those Mormons who have made me ashamed to be a Mormon for the first time since 1978. I plan to be quite vocal about how very against the most basic principles of the Mormon doctrine this was. Silly me, I was sure this wouldn't pass. A lot of Mormon voted against it. Not enough it seems. http://mormonsformarriage.com/
I mean 8... Can't blame that on bad math can I?

Stupid poll
I don't usually do polls. They seem like a cry for replies. Maybe I am crying for replies, but recent events got me thinking too much. It's clear that some old friends of mine have not been wondering where I was or was I doing alright for the last 18 years. Also, when my aunt mentioned that not a year has gone by since my parents died that they (our aunts, uncles and cousins) haven't wondered where we kids were and were we doing alright, my sister thought she must be lying because she had gone for years at a time not thinking about our birth family and wondering where they were and were they doing alright. So here's the poll.
Do you ever think of me when I'm not there and what brings me to mind
A Seeing something and thinking "Wow, Peggy would really like that."
B Remembering some time when we were having a good time (or a bad time)
C Having an idea and thinking "Wonder what Peggy would think of X?"
D A birthday or anniversary
E Nothing at all, just been a while since I've seen you

A thought on friends and life suckage
Please be aware that this post is in no way a comment on anyone else's life, or how they view their world. Even when I comment on someone else's posts, I am only using it for contrast, not criticism. I have read so many posts lately on how much other people's lives/jobs suck. I have to say that I love my life. I love my job. My life most assuredly doesn't suck and I refuse to feel guilty for having a life that doesn't suck. Does that mean that I don't feel sad or lonely? O course not. I could look at my life and say that it sucks. I have very few friends at the moment who have time or interest (Sometimes the same thing?) for me. My best friend from college, or rather his wife, has just told me I was just some girl he had sex with (she later changed this to "you were friends 20 years ago, what makes you think you could still be friends") I'm terribly hungry for adult conversation, often lonely, and sometimes sad, but none of that makes my life suck. The fact that I'm lonely, means I still crave human contact, that's good. It means there is room for new friends to move into my life. It means that I don't take the friends I have and have had for granted. I found my brother after 38 years and he was no less my brother, I consider friends the same way, time and distance does not make them any less my friends. So even though I'm often alone or feel forgotten, I can still say I have lots of friends, they're just far away, busy, or have more important things on their plate than spending time with me right now. It's how I look at it, not the circumstances that make my life not suck, and I think I need to give myself credit for that. And some circumstances too, like having a beautiful, happy, healthy and smart daughter, and a wonderful husband who makes enough I can stay home with her and teach her how to keep her own happy. (Children are born knowing to make their own happy, they just forget or are taught that they need things like good grades, a boyfriend or stuff to make them happy)
