Welcome to the New Year! I have no doubt that this year will bring many new and interesting things into my life. Some good, some bad, but never boring. Ever since I came to myself, and got clean, he only New Years resolution Ive had is to enjoy every minute of my life! I want to grab hold of the good things and never let go. The bad things, well, I hope they just slide off my back like water. Everyday is a new day to be thankful for. Even the ugly things in life are just learning experiences to be greatful for. I know all the mistakes Ive made and, hopefully, learned from, have brought me to where I am now. I would like to think, it's a better place, with better people. Many things have changed for me in the last year, new job, renewing old friendships, starting new ones. I just hope that I never take the good things in my life for granted, because I know, sometimes they go away. Even when you dont want them to. Today, Im most greatful for an awesome kid, a passionately loyal best friend, and a boyfriend that makes my toes curl and makes me feel special. I hope that you all have a blessed New Year!

Betty and The Boaby
Finally! Christmas is over!!! I know that may seem a very scrooge like attitude, but really it's not. It isnt that I dont love Christmas, I do. All the time spent with family and friends. It's all the traffic and rude people in the stores that I cant stand. Once I get past New Years I can relax again. I was supposed to be mocing out of my parents house, but unfortunately it looks like I wont be. My boyfriend says it's too soon for us to move in together, even though, he had every intention of spending the night with me, or having me spend the night with him after I moved. What's the difference you ask? Honestly, I dont know. Other than where my toothbrush resides....Cant make him though; can I? Ohh well, Im determined to have the whole enchilada, so Im just going to keep hanging in there til he's ready. Hope he gets back on the horse soon....

The Next Shite Will be a Hedgehog
Well, I screwed up. I let myself get involved in someone else's affairs and it's coming back to bite us both in the a$$. I feel deeply grieved for my part in the whole mess, seeing as it has caused a dear friend more troubles. I would fix it if I could, but I think Ive done enough.....I just pray that all will work out to her happiness in the end. That's all I really wanted anyway...

Matters of the Heart
Lately things havent been so good for my best friend. She's having financial trouble, family trouble, guy trouble.....That whole, if anything can go wrong it will, trouble. I do my best to encourage her, but that only goes so far. I would pay all her bills, but I dont have quite enough money for that either. I wish I did. She is more like a sister than a friend. The kind of friend where, if I went to jail I wouldnt be calling her to bail me out, she would be sitting there with me saying, man that was fun! I will be moving in with her in a couple of weeks, hopefully, I will be able to help her more financially then. I pray that she will have true joy in her life. I want that for her more than anything. No matter what, I know, we can always count on each other. We have a little bucket, sometimes she fills it, I empty it. At the moment Im filling and she's taking. In the ned it always evens itself out.

Rhapsody in Love
I believe I have mentioned that I recently started dating again. My bestest friend introduced me to someone she worked with. She says: Ohh you guys are perfect for each other! I of course wanted to run away far and fast after she said that. I thought it could only mean bad things. Then I met him. You had me at hello comes to mind. For once in our crazy lives she was right. He's everything I thought I didnt want, which is why he's so perfect for me. I know that sounds like a wonky contradiction, but it's really not. Some times you dont know what you need until you actually have it. Mr. Wonderful is just that, wonderful. He's been hurt alot like I have, but unlike me, he wants to take the baby steps. Meanwhile, Im ready to give him all my tomorrows. Is that totally nutzo? it may be, but I never was one for the holding back. Im an all or nothing kinda gal, always have been. As seen in my earlier blog entries. I guess Ive just had enough of the wrong things to know when the right one comes along. There is something to be said for experience. Even if they were bad ones. I would like to think I have learned something in the last three years. Mostly that when you find a good thing, you never let it go! So baby, if you read this I just want you to know that I pray you will live a 1000 years, and that I would live just one day less, so I will never have to live without the pleasure of your company!

Threnody of Life
So anyway, maybe I shouldnt be so hard on my mum. I know she loves me, and wants what's best for me. The problem is, what she thinks is best for me, and what I think is best clash on the best of days. The constant arguing is a detriment to my peace of mind. I wish she would exhibit the same patience with me that she extends toward others. That would be so nice. Right now the only time I get any peace of mind is at my boyfriends house or my best friends. Of course the more time I spend away from hom, the more she complains. My son and I talk about this regularly and we have a sort of understanding. he knows we cant talk with them in the house, because they always jump in the middle. I wish I could find some way to have peace in my house, AND personal joy and happiness. At the moment, it just doesnt seem possible....

The Palace of Winter
I recently started dating again. I would like to mention now, that Ive been single for 3 years! Getting myself together and all that. I guess I just wasnt ready until now. For once I managed to find a guy that was a complate wanker, but what do my parents think? That I should be a nun, at least that's the vibe Im getting. Now my house is an ugly cold place. My mum is either complaining or yeeling about, well, everything. Her current bitch is that I spend more time with him than with my family, which is not true. I wonder if it ever occured to her that I spend so much time away from home to get away from her mouth. That would probably be more than she could deal with if that notion aactually settled in with her. I might as well go back to school. She treats me like Im still a teenager, rather than a grown woman, with my own thoughts and feelings....With my own life, things that dont include her all the time. Ive spent my whole life trying to understand, I have finally realized, I never will....

The Bad Place
Have you ever come to a point in your life, after all the bad times, when everything is so good, you just know you're gonna lose it all? Welcome to my world. Ive never done anything to deserve good things, definitely not great things. Then a great thing comes along and you just know it's too good to be true. You wait and wait for the other shoe too drop. Always holding your breath, watching your back.....and with the waiting. Always the waiting. I havent had many good things in my life. Now that Ive come to a place where I do have good things, Im always scared Im going to lose it. I spend all my time selling myself, always afraid that who I am, what I am, will never be enough. Just like you sell yourself at a job interview. Really,at the end of the day, it's just another form of prostitution. Isnt it. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever feel deserving, or worthwhile. My heart hopes, and waits. Longing for the day.......

Life in a Morally Relative World
I have recently discovered that comprehensive sex eduacation is coming to my child's school. Now, I thought that meant they were teaching my kid how to have SAFE sex, but alas NO. They will be teaching my child how to HAVE SEX! Oh yes my friends, sad but true, these folks are telling us that our children should be considered responsible enough to have sex as soon as they are sexually aware, even if that happens at the age of 10. I have been supporting this type of school education so you can imagine how apalled I was at this news. What right do other people have to decide when my child should or shouldnt have sex? I mean really. Is there anything left Im allowed to teach my kid? Is anything sacred anymore?

The Father
A friend sent this to me today. I thought it was beautiful, and so very true!
"Father is not seeking prophets, He is looking for listening ears, thats what makes a prophet. Father is not seeking pastors, He is looking for foot-washers and shepherds, thats what makes a pastor. Father is not seeking evangelists, He is looking for hearts that bleed with passion for the lost, thats what makes evangelists. Father is not looking for apostles, He is looking for bondservants who are Fathers to his children, thats what makes an apostle. Father is not seeking workers, He is looking for worshipers, thats what his heart seeks." -Jonathan David Helser-

Respect the Chicken!
IMPORTANT QUESTION: WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD ?
BARACK OBAMA:The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!
JOHN MC CAIN:My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON:When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn ' t about me.......
DR. PHIL:The problem we have here is that this chicken won ' t realize that he must first deal with the problem on ' THIS ' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the ' OTHER SIDE ' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he ' s acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding ' NEW ' problems.
OPRAH:Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I ' m going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH:We don ' t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL:Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...
ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JOHN KERRY:Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken ' s intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE:That chicken crossed the road because he ' s GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN:To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART:No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer ' s Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS:Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I ' ve not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL:Because the chicken was gay! Can ' t you people see the plain truth? ' That ' s why they call it the ' other side. ' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like ' the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It ' s as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA:In my day we didn ' t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS:Isn ' t that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE:It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON:Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES:I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ......... reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN:Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON:I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE:I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS:Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY:Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON:Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
Personally, I think the chicken crossed the road to get away from all the crazy chickens.

Help, I've Fallen, and I Cant Get Up.
I know I was supposed to be doing a 12 part series, but lately, I haventy felt like doing much of anything. As a matter of fact, I almost feel like quitting church, but that would be like quitting life. It wouldnt be long before I was back on drugs again..... I know this...man. Somedays it's just so hard. people you look up to let you down, people say mean things, and this is IN the church. I know you are supposed to depend on God only, men will let you down, but you have certain expectations of your friends. I mean at least you'd think they would call you once a week, just to see if you're alive; ya know? I feel like I'm in this spiritual limbo, my prayers are hitting this big brick wall, more than likely, I put it up.

Only the Penitent Man Will Pass
"For all those things My hand has made, and all those things exist," Says the Lord, "but on this one I will look : On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My Word." Isaiah 66:2
I've said this before but in 2005 I went from a normal house wife to a junkie. I got clean February 28th 2006. In the last two years, I feel like God has put me through a 12 step recovery program. This is the series explaining that. I hope this will give hope and courage to someone who needs it.
When I first got clean I moved back in with my parents. I felt so dirty and ashamed of the things I'd done I couldnt look any one in the eye. I felt like I was rotten, and wasted on the inside.
When I gave my heart to the Lord I still felt......wretched. I knew I was saved but I wasnt so awful. At least I thought so. Every time I prayed, I begged God to fogive me for the terrible things I'd done. It took me a long time to realize, God had already forgiven me. When I gave my heart to Him, he cast all my sins as far as the east is from the west. The problem was, I hadnt forgiven myself. I knewI had devestated my husband, wounded my child, and given my parents much grief. Through the first few months of being clean God gave me things to do that made me feel like I was working off my debt. My debt had already been paid when Jesus died for me, but I needed to do something to feel.....normal....again. It didnt happen over night, it took months for me to feel like I deserved good things again, but I needed to get dowen on my knees and as k for forgiveness. I had to really mean it . Deep down in my heart of hearts, where I live I had to be sorry, not just sorry for doing drugs, but sorry for all the hurt I'd caused all the wrong I'd done. It doesnt mean anything, if it doeant come from the heart. I had to reach the point of true contrition to reach the next step in my recovery.

I Keep Going and Going....
I have been so super busy, I just havent had time to post. Although, I will be doing a 12 part series very soon. In the last 3 years I have experienced and seen much. My physical and spiritual journey has been difficult to say the least. God has been so good to me and I really want to share the steps he has been taking me thru. I call it my 12 step progam, because thats what it is. I have been in session with the ultimate Counselor and I dont intend to leave. My road to recovery has been agonizing and incredible. I hope this helps someone else!

Life in the Fast Lane.
Life has been super busy in Heather's World. I got an exciting new job. Well, two actually, I'm typing a book for a friend, and I got a job as a companion to a disabled lady. On top of that I joined a commitee to help spread the Gospel in my home town. Also, I just found out yesterday, my uncle has stomach cancer, so now I have familial responsiblities as well. I prayed for things to do, never let it be said that God doesnt answer prayers hehe. I am really worried about my uncle though.

Wearing This Suit Does NOT Enable You to Fly
So, I have beened swamped with stuff to do. I've been typing a book for a friend, and arguing with my doctors office. My insurance hasnt been paying my dr. bills for the last year. I've made repeated phone calls, and they tell me it's fixed. Then it's not. So now, I'm in collections, and even if my insurance pays the bills, my dr.s office says I have to pay also, AND pay for the cost of the collections agency. Like that was my idea or somethin. They've been super rude as well. I cant even get my RX refilled. I cant find a new dr. that's taking patients, and billing at my old office wont let me make an appointment. I am so screwed. Any suggestions? Anyone? Anywhere?

Sir, Yes Sir.
I love my dad very much, but he is a total grouch. My son copped an attitude earlier this evening. I said he needed to lose it, and (no surprise here.) my dad yelled at ME. I guess its ok for the 13 year old to say and do whatever he wants. Gotta keep the adult in line though. I mean c'mon give it a rest, take a nap, take a bath, eat a cookie, play in traffic. I dunno, somethin, anything. I thought being grown up would be easier, but I must say life at 32 is just as hard, and infinitely less fun than life at 13.

Since, the tape of Obama's pastor was aired on television, eveything has been in an uproar. We know there is still racism in the world. That's why the world is not perfect. Personally, I dont care if the president elect has pink hair and a nose ring, as lone as they're getting the job done 'right'. Ya know what I'm sayin? Naturally people are going to be upset by what Jeremiah Wright said. They should be, and it's not about their ministries. It's about how Obama could have went to a church for church years and not known the pastor was racist. I mean c'mon. I think things should be EQUAL. That doe not mean better for whites. It does not mean better for blacks, or anyone else it means EQUAL! The SAME. What's so hard to understand about that. I'm sure that no matter who gets elected at this point, our country WILL experience civil war. It will not be pretty, and it will destroy the once great nation our forefathers fought so hard for. Sadly, alot of our forefathers were slave owners. Was there ever any chance for us?

Does Not Compute
Does DVR warp everyone? Record live tv, rewind, rewind again...... I recently got an aquarium and put some really cool fishies in it. I was watching them the other day and one of the fish did something pretty kewl. I reached for the remote so I could rewind, and watch it again......Does DVR warp everyone? Record live tv, rewind, rewind again........

Welcome To Wankerville
I have two different health insurance companies. One primary and a secondary. The secondary should pay for what the first does'nt. Haha they arent paying anything. Ive had two surgeries in the last year, unpaid for, and something like $2000 in doctors bills once again, unpaid for. I have made more phone calls than I care to think about trying to get this straightened out. Someone bring the straight-jacket, cause Im totally fried over this. I just got an exceptionally rude letter from my doctors billing office. grrrr arrgh. As if things werent bad enough. Does anyone else have this problem? Is your healthcare provider a wanker? This is why Im voting for whoever has the best healthcare program. This is so ridiculous. These insurance companies should have to be on their own programs, see how they like it!!!

Digitalis
My parents recentlygot digital everything thru Time Warner Cable.
Well the digital phone was supposed to come on today. Naturally, it didnt work. So insert one call to cable in the day and you have a recipe for craziness. The lovely man on the other end of the phone said he would lable it as an emergency, since we had no phone at all. This was about 10:30a.m. fast forward to 6:00p.m. look here comes the really hot cable guy wOOt!!! He fixes it yeah but ,if that was an emergency how long would we have waited if it wasnt? Time Warner needs some competition me thinks. Although, if some thing else goes wrong mebbe (Mike),the sexy cableman will come back hehe.
Once again he says I should try out http://www.secondlife.com/ IJust dont know it seemed pretty sucky to me, I guess I should have found out his account name.....To bad. The dog liked him. I think I need a life, drooling over the cable guy is just pathetic. Hmmm, I think I'll log into second life. NOT!!

The Fat Dog On Ice
Well, I dug my heels in and caught up on the presidential campaign. Ohh, did I mention that McCain is a fatuous gasbag> Anyhoo, I have to say in terms of healthcare reform Hilarys the girl. There is also a small part of me that wants to see her win just because she's a woman. Ya know Go girl power and all that. So I think I've made my choice, at least between the lesser of three evils.........Personally I would like to replace all the candidates with the Backyardigans, they're so much more agreeable. Dont you think? Now that I'm decided I feel much more peaceful. Trying to choose was much more stressful than I realized but, being a diabetic healthcare is an extremely important issue to me. McCains plan just blew chunks in my opinion. I just hope Hilary is a better president than she was last time.....

Worms on the Side
I have a confession to make.... I think worms are totally kewl. So being the curious person I am I went to the library and got some books about worms. That was exciting reading. Im sure most people know worms are self-propagating but, did you know they lay their eggs in little nests underground; where they can stay for up to THREE years before hatching!!! Also, all worms are both boys and girls. That could be fun...mebbe? I think thats SO wickedly neat. No, really I am a girl........ Anyhoo, life is boring today. I also seem to be out of sarcasm, I think I must be dying.....

What's Behind Door Number Three?
So who's following the presidential debates? I am a little but not as much as I should.....Anyhoo in my professional opinion all the candidates are whack. They argue like little kids on tv. I wont mention any names (cough obama cough) dont even salute the american flag. Cmon people cant we do any better than this? Is this REALLY the best the U.S. has to offer these days? I mus admit there has only been one good president in my lifetime( Reagan) and no great ones. Also, I would just like to say I feel it really is unfair for Hilary Clinton to be in this election, since she was already president once............

Be Kind Please Rewind
You're probably wondering how I can go from druggie to, Hey Im fabulous. Well it wasnt quick. The two years I havent blogged were two long hard years. Im pleased to say I'll have two years clean the end of this month. weeeeee!! I still have hard days but the hardest days are nothing like before. Im single. No more dirty cheat boyfriends or crazy relations. I still dont know what Im going to do with my life, but I DO KNOW I can do something with my life, other than throw it away on sex drugs and rock N roll. I thought I should just rewind and let the world know I WIN!!!

The Misadventures of Ploot Alter
wOOt! The cable guy suggested a game while he was hooking up our internet service. He says: It's like the Sims check it out. I say: Cool I will. ( Was he hitting on me?) So I go check it out. It took me about three hours just to make an account. Of course coming up with a name is next to impossible so recalling Dara Joys new book title I named the character Ploot. Yeah I know its sounds like someone trying to go to the bathroom. Anyhoo I get on there (the game site), Im pretty sure that there was some sort of purpose to th e game, what it was a more intelligent person could probably figure out. Not me. You could fly though, which was pretty kewl. The site is http://www.secondlife.com/ Someone check it out and let me know if you can decipher the goal!!! This is worse than a rutabaga in disguise.
