@Totalanimefan: My husband got home and made food to save me the headache. He cooks quick Chinese food when he's hungry.

@Totalanimefan: Omgosh, I don't know what to do for dinner either. e.e'

@Anarchist Beauty: It's really easy to tell a household by how a kid behaves. If they're mildly a butth-le kid, they don't bother me.
lol, I'm stable now and like, settling into a "forever" home. We're done moving around. I brought my kids to a local park recently and my kids magnetized to another kid there. The mother came over to me and we chatted only for a moment and she got desperate to be my friend because we're similar in parenting styles. Which is super rare to find. XD //She came off strong// o3o' She was like "FINALLY. COME TO MY HOUSE WOMAN. I LIKE YOU." I mean, <- basically.

@Wildfire: I ended up going outside for fresh air and then drove the truck to the grocery store. I think I needed that today. =0 How was your walk?

@Totalanimefan: I've gotten in the habit of doing a 500 piece of the latest winter one. <3 I can do that one pretty quickly now. I haven't timed myself, but I'm sure it's well under 30 minutes. But I do it on repeat.

@Anarchist Beauty:
@Wildfire:
I lived in an inner-city for a year and I did not click with Anyone there. I'd walk to the school to pick up my kids and parents steered clear of me once they'd ask "Where are you from?" and I'd respond "Wyoming." They either thought I was too hick [which my appearance is not that lmao] or maybe conservative. OR maybe I just came off with "don't talk to me." -Shrugs- Something about me was off for the other parents. XD I was like "I neeeed frieeeends"
I'd hang out at the school for a half-hour after school, so my son could do the after-school program. I set one kid straight. Little 3rd grader was a magnet towards me. She saw me playing on my phone and made fun of my little iphone 5, because she had a 10 or something. I came back with "Well, I don't like your shirt." and she went "It's my favorite!" and I said "Well this phone is my favorite and it's less likely to break compared to yours." I tossed my phone [had an otter box on it] and it bounced off the pavement twice and I picked it up and continued playing my game. XD

@Totalanimefan: Oh nice! :3 I usually do the 500 pieces myself. The thousand pieces take forever! Kudos to you. C:
With a different event, I tried to do that watercolored random Alice in Wonderland-themed puzzle. A thousand pieces was so difficult with that puzzle. e.e

@Anarchist Beauty: yeah exactly. I made a parent-friend with kids the same age as mine [and one older] and she couldn't set boundaries with her kids. omg. They were little terrors. Her kids were scared of me because my kids respected me and listened. Her kids would look at me like I was a lion tamer or a witch with magic hands that would turn them into squirrels.

@Totalanimefan: I'm doin' alright. Could be better. But I'm good, just finished one of my books and I'm just trying to rest. How are you?

@Anarchist Beauty: Fair enough~ :d I like kids, what I don't like is .. I guess, parents. Specifically the 'modern parents'. <.< " Tis' a controversial topic. XD


@Wildfire: Appointment go well? c: Welcome back.
I suppose I shouldn'tve taken that so seriously. I was just trying to live in ND peacefully under the radar, avoid attention to myself the best I could. It was a temporary residency. lol. Then I got the job at the library and basically, the whole town knew me within a couple of weeks. XD

@Anarchist Beauty: lmao! Same. I only got 2 kids and they're small and I fantasize sometimes. lol. But teen years are just around the corner and I'm mentally preparing for it early. My kids are only 6 months apart. XD boy and girl. It'll be hell in my house when puberty hits.
I'm learning Norwegian so I can go to Norway for a couple of months at a time to escape my life later. lol. I'm not even joking on that one. XD

@Wildfire: Thank you~ <3 I do get selfish in conversation when it comes to my storytelling. Then I get guilty for taking up people's time and not letting others' talk for a moment. e.e'
It's a better release than other methods of stress-caused ...releases. <.< I couldn't think of the right word. XD
Last year, I lived in North Dakota, I found a small town coffee shop that made me feel welcome. I'd go in with stories. The older gal working 'humbled me' by letting me know that I overwhelm folks with my stories because I'm young and lived a more adventurous life than most people in the town. My dad's wife said the same. So I kept to myself for the year I spent in North Dakota. My only friend last year was a college kid who wanted to know more about life outside of ND, I held back my stories, even with her. She would ask questions, and I'd answer them. She had a lot of guy-drama.

I like to think of my huskies as a huge part of our family, but I think of them from an angle of a wolf-pack. Got the lead dog, which is surprisingly not the Alpha. then momma dog, who is wild at heart. I drained our pond the other day amidst the plumbing issues [to feel useful while things out of my control were happening], When I let momma dog out, she looked at me like I took away everything she loved. The NASTY pond was her swimming hole and she's still an indoor dog. So every time she jumped in, she'd follow me inside and smell like a duck pond and wet dog.

@Purpsy: Well now I feel old.lol. Although, I'm not really. I think spanking depends on family to family. It was used in my household growing up. It was a fast way to learn what you did was Really Really bad. I got spanked at like.. 5 years old I think, by my mom, Which was a total shock as she was the one that babied me. But I remember why. I crossed the road to get to the neighbor's house while there were cars coming and going. I didn't look at the road, I was focused on the neighbor's house/dogs. Best believe I looked both ways after that. And I was watched like a hawk for months after. XD

I grew up feeling so special that I was a lefty. Lefty scissors definitely exist and helped Greatly~ <3 My mom attempted to make me a righty while I was learning my lefts and rights, ABCs, 123s. Anyhow, It messed me up and most of my childhood I went, "Wrong and Right." instead of "left and right" . XD
I'm not even mad, it makes for an entertaining story. She tried, she failed. I remember she got so frustrated when I was in elementary school, she had to sit across from me and have me 'Mirror' her to learn some things since I'd get confused side-by-side.

@Wildfire: Oh yeah~ I know how it is. My huskies used to run off a lot. We're mostly good now on that. The less panicked I am, the easier it is to catch em'. I used to yell and run and try and corner my old husky when he was younger, he turned it into a fun game while I was sweating and tearing up and yelling my vocals dry. Now when he decides to play that game, I look him in the eyes with composure and say "Heel." and it clicks that I'm not playing.
The dog fight I somewhat described was about 6 years ago and the alpha pitbull was at the dog park. He tried to hump my [at the time] female husky to claim dominance and it ticked off my male husky. He snapped. Blood was drawn. Dog owners panicked. BLEH.

* Also if my stories are annoying, I'm sorry. When I'm under a lot of stress in RL, I find telling my life stories brings me joy and it pulls the shadows away from my stress/depression. My RL friends right now are getting different stories. My husband has heard all my stories, so he's no fun rn <.< *

@Purpsy: Thank you for opening up. <3 That's so hard to do, with online friends and RL friends.
I don't have advice to give. I just think you're amazing for opening up and being prepared for feedback from the community you hang out with online. <3

@Purpsy: There are all sorts of stigmas and theories about left-handed people. My grandma is a lefty, even though her mom believed lefties to be demon-children. She's ambidextrous now. That's only because her mom beat it into her, ruler and all. I never met my great-grandma, I can't remember if she was some narrow form Christian or catholic. My gramma made sure none of us met her.
I actually come from 2 grandma's that are lefties and they are polar opposite people and have never met. So my other grandma is so creative! and her ambitions and creativity were never squandered. Her cursive is phenomenal. She still writes letters to her great-grandkids [my kids and my siblings' kids].

@Anarchist Beauty: OMG. If my mom had her way, she'd have dumped my dad's 4 daughters off at goodwill and hoped they'd find good second homes. XD Those girls were wild. My parents were like "Brady Bunch is such a great show, If they can do it, we can too!" They both went into marriage with 4 kids Each. Then I came along. Divorced followed. Seven out of Eight of the kids went into puberty and it became a hellhole for my parents. lmao.

@Wildfire: Good Morning. I'm not going to try and say 'I'll be relaxing' or anything like that. cx Feel like I'll jinx it. I very narrowly avoided a dog fight this morning. I didn't realize my husband took the dogs' yard collars off. I was too tired this morning to check. My dogs were acting weird. Eldest went down to the bottom of the yard, where my 2 females hung out by the house. It's usually the other way around. I call my girls in, assuming something's not right. And I called my old guy [he's only 9, but he's an energetic husky] up to the house. He came reluctantly. I started down the yard a bit and saw two pitties sizing him up across our fence. Mind you there is no fence. It's a wood horse fence that fell down. The owner of the pitties was trying really hard to round them up. The pitties were being evasive, so I just worked on getting mine in. The owner seemed grateful that I got mine in smoothly.
I love pitties, they're great dogs. However, the last time my eldest dog interacted with a pitty he didn't know, they had an alpha fight and I had to apologize profusely and ask if I needed to hand them money for the vet. //shakes off that old memory//. Otherwise, I've introduced him to different Pitbulls since and haven't had an issue. Just a matter of introducing and showing non-threatening behavior.

-Now I need to read back and respond to everyone from yesterday. <3 -

@Wildfire: I'm burnt out for the day. We finally got someone out here to fix our A/C. We've been pestering our home warranty company since fall, and the guy came today [we pre-paid the warranty for the service], and he wrote me a large fee for the refrigerant. Goodbye savings. Hello, financial depression.
When it Rains, It Pours. and I freakin' pray this financial storm is almost over or IS over.
I hope your truck is done with the shop. My gosh. Round 3?!


@Purpsy: My elementary school didn't like lefties because they couldn't afford to buy lefty scissors and stuff like that.
There was also a stigma that Lefties were known to be more creative and harder to educate (classically). [This is according to my mom and families] What they grew up believing.
OH also that lefties are devil children, that was my great-grandma, super-duper Christian lady.

I'm going to log off for today and recuperate from life being hard this week. Do some cleaning, maybe play some video games. I dunno. But I gotta move or nap or something.

@Purpsy: Your cursive did improve since the last picture!
*Lefty High Five!* lol, My mom tried and failed to make me be a righty.
Do you have a ball-point pen? Or felt pen? The ink flows more freely with those. I think it would improve your cursive. <3

@Anarchist Beauty: Lmao! Bring it. I was the baby in a 9 children household. Well I mean, they divorced, but that's beside the point. I still grew up in a 5 child house.
I take it the oldest holds the most responsibility for leading behavior examples. lol So you get B--ched at the most by the parents. XD
