I have the "I Wants"

I want several things and what I want is for my own good. I'm just a bit cash poor right now because of another business venture, a lemonade stand a friend and I are running at the Twilight Concert Series. You'd think it'd be simple, it's just lemonade, but oh, you'd be so wrong. And you'd have to pay the nearly $1000 worth of fees on top of equipment just to run it with the proper licensing and such. So here I am with the "I wants". I want a greenhouse. I want banjo lessons, I want either a sony webbie HD camcorder or a Flip cam (haven't decided). I also want a proper bunny hutch for bunny. There's a really cute one at the pet shop (yes, I could build one, but who are we kidding, me, building, have you seen me try to do that?). I want a private fence in my backyard instead of the chain link one that leads to the back alley and the Mexican grocery store behind my house where everyone can see me do yardwork...and ask if I need help (um, no, but thanks...unless I know you and you aren't a creep, then yes, yes please!). Bigger fantastical picture I want a ranch and lots of horses and a big pretty house and a fast and fancy car. But for now, it's the simple things I want and have to wait for. Waiting sucks. So does red ink on your bank statements. Damn you poverty!

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
