Hellloooo all, from the land of snow and ice and beauty. :) Or something like that. :) John and I hosted yet another bi annual, non denominational holiday gathering last night and it went off well. The house is beautiful with a lot of natural greens and lighting and the food was good. :) I am also happy that I took a day off from studying for finals. :) Past that, family is fine and now I get to focus on some minor holiday shopping and planning for my family christmas trip...fun. outside of that, I have been toying with a significant change in my life not playing football. I mean, I know I am not playing football this year, but need to really look at what I want to do athetically in the downtime. I have been yearning to focus on a much more plant based diet followed with meat and fish, but am struggling ethically with the choice to eat meat again. I dunno. I eat meat at the party last night and have a wicked stomach ache and a wee bit o guilt because of it. :( I dunno. Busy busy week upcoming..how about you? Peace all, Kel |

(don't worry ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ladyscience--it doesn't suck!) We sang this for my last Christmas concert in high school. I always loved this arrangement and was thrilled to find even a so-so quality video on Youtube, even if it wasn't a video of my choir doing it. |

Since Pemby is dying and rather quickly, shogunhb bought me a shiny new laptop for Christmas. Ummm...early Christmas as I'm playing with it now. Windows 7, fancy specs, blah blah blah technical stuff. It's new and shiny and I love it lots. So far, the hardest adjustment is to the layout of the keyboard. It's higher and to the left of where Pemby's keyboard is and Pemby didn't have a number pad on his keyboard. The configuration of other keys is also different for Pemberley and Empress Orchid (my desktop) as is the size of the individual keys, so typing is actually difficult. I've got muscle memory for two different keyboards and this matches neither. Argh. I foresee a lot of frustration in my future, trying to learn this new keyboard configuration. Anyway, since I haven't actually done one of these in a very long time....HAPPY FUN POLL TIEMZ!!!! Poll #1496050 Name Me!

Hi all, It is finals time and the holidays...that is just double the fun for the overworked college student..;) and my laptop decided to stop working. HELP! Long story short, the other night I was working, downloading a dora the explorer torrent (to see if it was any good to buy for my friends kid) and running word 7, live365 and a couple firefox windows. Out of no where a couple audio clips from the first Karate Kid started playing. No explanation, just started playing in the background. I checked all my windows and there was no reason for it to be playing. After that, the internet stopped working (yet the wireless connection shows full connectivity) and my audio went screwy. Next the laptop froze so I shut down. Fun while writing 3 papers for the end of the semester. Now, the pc freezes at random times. I am lucky if it runs for 5mins without any issues. Around this time I also downloaded the new update for firefox, but I switched to IE and am having the same problems. I went to a previous system restore point but nothing. I ran malware bytes 4 times, nothing shows. PLEASE HELP! This is the worst possible time for this. I REALLY need to finish 11 papers in the next two weeks. I will send cookies, holiday cards and men or women for service. Seriously. Thanks all! :bowing to your pc guru skills: Kelly |

It's going to snow for the first time up here this season...yay!! I cannot wait. Part of it will be spent with the team at the final UCONN football game so it is just doubly as awesome. Afterwards is a butt load of homework and finals prep (re: writing 12 papers in the next week). I am still struggling with where my family is at but I know so many around the country are going through the same thing. Just sucks. Right now? Watching "In and Out", putting a pc together and looking for as many warm clothes as I can find for the game tonight. :) Enjoy the season all! :) |

I'm feeling pretty lousy today (sore throat, headache, general malaise), but this website did put a smile on my face. Okay and made me cry. h/t to touchthesoul. * While doing homework on one of the university computers, I spied Sailor Moon manga on one of the others. It turned out to be a very large, imposing football player reading it. He told me that it was his little sister's new obsession and he wanted to be able to talk to her about it when she called. GMH *Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of four years in a nice restaurant. When she said yes, the entire restaurant stood up and applauded. We're both women. Understanding of true love GMH. *Today when I walked into the student center at my college, there was a table raising money and awareness for victims of sexual assault on my campus. It was full of pamphlets with information on what to do if raped, and information on abusive relationships and ways to fight violence against women. The table was being run entirely by guys. GMH --- *You all stuck with me last year, when I was grumpy, when I was too tired to do anything fun, and when I was a miserable bitch in the hospital. You let me complain when I hurt, were patient when I was sickly, and gave me the unconditional friendship I needed to get through it. Y'all GMH. |

Not so happy reading so feel free to skip. :) So, less than a few years ago, my father was making close, if not over, 100K a year while my mother entertained herself at home, with my brother or working part time as a claims person to get out of the house. They wanted for nothing really.
Then my dad retired.
Then my mom went crazy.
Then the economy went south. So, basically, for the last several months, I have been helping my parents out financially. They went through the savings quickly once my mom got sick on a variety of things and now, well, it is hard for me to watch. My dad has been through soo much and to know that there have been moments where he choose not to do something because it might save a few bucks kills me. I didnt think my parents would ever be in this place, a place where they hope my moms ssi comes through just to make the bills and they cut budgets so close that one thing going wrong could financially fuck them. Is this what so many other people are going through?
They have 60K in credit card debt,which I took over about 1/4 of just to see if that eased things financially. I have gone through my personal savings in the last 3 months helping them to stay above water but it is to the point that I can no longer be that much of a help past the debt I assumed, especially not with my hours being so random and per diem, but I am trying. I am working 60+ hour weeks, partially because I love what I do, but also because I know it helps. I dunno. I need to do some major detoxing myself both physically and spiritually and this is a huge part of it. I realize through analyzing my own parental attachments that I have no attachment to my mother but would do anything for my father to ease what he goes through, the worrying he is doing...i started to play the lottery last week just to see if I could win so he would not have to worry any more. I have never been a family person, my family was pretty detached growing up, but the thought of him having to make some of the decisions he has made lately lead me to tears. It hurts inside. |
