Hump Day

Hump Day List

1. Hump the economy for making our company cut back. I mentioned it before but in crunching some numbers, the unpaid furlough days I have to take are really going to suck during the holiday seasons. We had Crystal’s birthday yesterday. Thanksgiving is next week, Dad's birthday the second week of December, Christmas, then Harmony's, Devon's, and my birthday and within 10 days after Christmas.

2. Hump the people that think I owe them proof of something or anything. The only people that need proof have proof. Yeah, proof for you would be nice but it would also be feeding a small group of trolls that would dispute any proof offered because it's their agenda. I can her it now. "Oh it's photo shopped. You need to go out there with the news station, while God himself makes a public speech about it all in front of an audience of 10,000, and have CSI do DNA testing." ... It's pointless to attempt to convince people with that much hate in their heart. Especially to people that appear to be experts on something they know absolutely nada about. Makes you look smart. *wink*

3. Hump the corporations that are actually paying back the bailout money. (Mainly GM) I didn't put a lot of faith behind all of that working out but as least some are doing the right thing. I applaud thee.

4. Hump your friends and those unique unwritten guidelines that make your friends special ones. Some people, including myself, have taken a simple thing like friendship for granted. Its only when you think outside the box that you realize what a major factor friends and family can play in your life. I have recently looked at this one, constantly miserable, person and asked myself how one person could be so unhappy on a daily basis. I have been all but studying different ways to cheer her up but none of them have seemed to last more than about 5 minutes. Then it hit me. She always mentions going home to her cats and that's all she has. Wow. A life without friends. All she has to look forward to is going home, opening a can of tuna for cats, and talking to other bitter women on the net . It is hard for me to comprehend that people can live being unhappy and miserable when it's such an easy choice. I came from a really REALLY poor family that was too proud for government assistance. We had holes in out floor and opossums would crawl up through it and get into the house on a regular basis. The only heat we had came from the wood stove we had in the living room and we only had one window A/C unit for our whole house yet my mom, a single mother of 2 kids managed to work her way up, without assistance, to being able to move us to the city where we would eventually be shell shocked by what assholes city folk can be. As broke as we were, I don't remember many, if any, unhappy times. Too many people put their happiness in money, material tings, or whatever else but the things that make the happiest of all are friend and family. I love you friends and almost all country folk. You make me happy. (Crystal, Mike, Brian, Dan, Carrie, Jamie, Barbara, Mom, Hannah, Virginia, Harmony, Devon, Julio, Anthony, Granny and Grandpapa, Uncle bobby, Vanna, Dad, Vicki, Brittney, Dan, Amber, Jason, Maw maw, Glenda, Eli, Gene, Don, Becky, Ken, Rachel, Scott, Jenna, Lisa, Sylvester, Uncle Lynn, Debbie, Jacklyn, Whittney, Tonya, Tracie, Jeremy.... and everyone I left out. I could go on and on for a while.)

5. Hump deer season this year. I have unpaid furlough days and very little money, might as well use that time to stock the freezer. Venison Spaghetti is my specialty. Mmmm MMmmm. Can't wait to get in touch with nature again and remember my forefathers that have gone before me. It's been 4 years since I've sat in the woods listening to the trees while watching the squirrels dance and turkey march. It really sets me at peace with the world.

God Bless You. Enjoy he rest of your hump day.
