I am giving up coffee.
This is as big as it sounds.
starting tomorrow I will be drinking tea...herbal tea.
Why?
I don't know...
Yesterday, I was driving in my van, and looked down and thought.
I am done with coffee.
I think it makes me want to eat.
I have insomnia.
I don't know if it is the caffiene or what...
But the thought went through my head.
I am giving up coffee.
And I didn't even feel a pang.
None.
No panic, no wondering.
I asked my oldest daughter "If you could wake up tomorrow and have the perfect day...what would it look like."
And she told me.
Now I am going to ask me the same question.
And figure it out.
A lot of things were taken from me when Iwas small...
and I don't know where I got the idea that I couldn't create the life I didn't have then, now.
But obviously I bought into it...the idea that for some things it is 'too late'.
You can start anytime, anywhere.
So I am starting tomorrow.
Hugs,
Chris out.

well...wake me up when september ends...
got a tax bill today...apparently we underpaid in 2008.
by 200 dollars.
fun.
btw...in case you all were wondering, I am a conservative.
I am just done, done, done with the cretins in washington.
They aren't conservatives.
They are just politicians.
Heck...the more I think about it, I think I am less a conservative and more a
"get the hell out of my life" person.
My friend and I (who is, I think, a little more liberal than I am) were talking about the government the other day.
And on one side you have people who think they need to legislate morality.
And on the other side you have people who want to pick your pocket and take your money.
Both of them equal opportunity offenders.
I am not sure when we began handing our liberty over to a bunch of bureaucratic dipsh*ts
But I think it's time we stop.
Think about it...that 200 dollars I am going to send in to the government..
will it go to do anything positive?
or will it simply line the pockets of someone's special interest?
The latter, I believe.
And so..
A little something I do believe.
Good evening america,
The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
This is the last I will speak of this.
Have a great night guys,
Chris out.

Captain obvious-Back from the abyss
Chris is tired and ready to go to bed...So she thought she would let me...
Captain obvious-
Pinch Hit.
If she knew what kind of mood I was in, she never would have agreed.
But with her having popped a couple of unisom (and heading for la la land)
..and seemingly oblivious to my mental machinations...
I thought I would vent my spleen as regards presidential contenders and our 'news' organizations.
News...
We really shouldn't blame them...it's a general word...meaning..
"Information some moron thought important enough to type up and slap into either paper format and/or digital media."
The amount of Money and Time spent on said Americanized "news' is (or should be) criminal.
I sometimes read The Onion...
Its a fictional newspaper that isoften sometimes more accurate than actual news.
Just like John Stewart and the daily show isoften sometimes more accurate than ACTUAL "news".
For instance....
In which we find The Curious Case of the Invisible Presidential Contender.
Captain obvious finds this hysterically funny....and obnoxiously sad at the same time.
Captain obvious finds some of Ron's ideas kooky.
But, Captain obvious is so pissed at this obvious media bias right now, and It's tendency to Dumb Down our political discourse...
That captain obvious would be secretly delighted (Now not so secretly) to see the sheer terror and disorientation should the good doctor actually win...
So delighted, that he is contemplating voting for Ron Paul...if only Captain obvious can break free from the hypnotic allure of 'the Republican front runner's" luscious locks, rugged appeal, and pre packaged sound bites.
After this ad, the aliens invade and Rick Perry rolls up his sleeves, grabs his megaphone, and leads the world in defeating the invading horde.
Then there are stories like this one in which we learn that John Boehner, republican house majority leader ...sleeps well and is not angry, though we do discover later on in the 'news' article that he is not having "any fun".
Now that one I thought was an onion article..as it reminded me so much of this http://www.theonion.com/video/obama-begs-us-not-to-embarrass-him-in-front-of-fre,21068/)
Not to leave our (dis) honorable colleagues on the left out of this moron extravaganza....Harry Reed thinks so much of bike trails he thought he would slap it into the transportation bill..
On the same day John's relative health and happiness were being debated here in america,
This was the lead story in Israel...
Wherein we learn Israel has signed a peace treaty with greece and is on the verge of a war with turkey. Considering the muslim brotherhood takeover in Egypt, the palestinian unrest in the west bank...the Iranians who are on the verge of obtaining a nuclear weapon and syria who is outright murdering her people while we chase Qaddafi all over the lybian desert...I think we are on the precipice of another world war...
Not that our news is covering that; CAptain obvious feels that someday, we here in america will wake up and the world will be at war and we will think it's because Jersey Shore And The Kardashians are having a throwdown.
Obviously done,
Captian out

Getting angry doesn't solve anything.....
Hello all,
how's it going.
I had a little something happen today that was a real clarifier.
Getting angry doesn't solve the problem..
In fact, anger can really inhibit a rational response.
Say you are angry because you are fat.
You look in the mirror and all the sudden you feel depression (anger turned inwards)....
That doesn't lead to weight loss, it usually leads to a binge.
Or
YOu feel angry.
Angry at yourself...
which generally turns to name calling, which turns to self hate..
which turns to your favorite drug of choice to numb yourself out...
food.
Or you are angry at your family.
You blame them for your being fat.
If only I didn't have to
A..B..or C...
I would be thin.
I would be healthy.
That's all Bullsh*t.
Getting angry about being fat..
or being in debt.
Of having your toilet overflow and leak into your garage because you didn't fix a handle..
well.
It does nothing.
Now all there is to do is to clean it up.
And it will take a long time.
So you had best get a good attitude and be happy.
And fix the small things so they don't become big things..
That five pounds, so it doesn't turn into 100 lbs.
...that 300 dollar credit car so it doesn't turn into 3000...
And the handle on the toilet that sticks...so it doesn't turn into an all day nasty fest of cleaning toilet water.

Glorious Pain and malware/virus security....
Hey all,
Well, That malware thing...yeah.
I have never had that happen before and had no idea what to do or how to deal.
I started looking and there is this sight...
http://www.netchunks.com/how-to-check-for-malware-in-your-website-or-blog/
This gives you tons of scanners for your blog...if you go to dashboard and down to webmaster tools and click on that...(it's at the very bottom) It will tell you the status of malware, if your sight has been distributing malware etc.
I uploaded my blog...and after using This scanner
http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/
I was able to go through and remove the offending text.
Other hints to keep your blog safe was to keep your security stuff on your computer up to date..my husband uploaded the latest free avg security onto our computer which found a trojan virus...
make a password for your blog that contains at least 1 capital letter and 1 symbol like a question mark or something..
And update your blog frequently with the newest updates.
Now for the pain portion of this blog post...
I climbed THIS YESTERDAY...
My friend and I did it in an hour..And jogged down in an hour...
We'll be doing it again in two weeks.
It was one of the hardest things I have ever done..you ascend, in one mile, nearly 2700 feet...there are around 4800 steps.
Three years ago, I couldn't walk a quarter mile on flat ground.
Getting out of bed was a chore.
My heels hurt,
My back hurt.
My heart would have palpitations just sitting.
I climbed that.
I sat down for two or three minutes.
Then I jogged three to four miles down.
Am I sore today.
Yes.
Am I proud
yes.
Did I go to the gym Today.
Yes.
Don't wait another minute to kick the shit out of life.
