Last Sunday night I ate ten dumplings. Luscious Dumplings moved in down the street and turned our world upside down. Monday morning, early, I woke up with a huge stomachache. I thought I was just really full. Then I threw up and other things for the next eight hours (off and on). I love those dumplings but now I associate them with being sick. Not the food poisoning kind of association that will swear you off of something forever (hello, chicken quesadilla at Baja Fresh *2002* or meatball sandwich from Subway *2006*) but still it's an association that I will have to work through because I love dumplings. This flu sucked. I tried to keep the drama to a minimum. Only a small amount of time laying on the hall floor, only one attempt to go to the hospital. But I did have a rough time. It was so bad that I didn't even care that the television wasn't on. It was on the wrong "source" and I couldn't get up to change it. I just lay there and moaned until my Mom came to make me feel better. I truly don't know that there is anything better in the whole world when you are sick than your Mom coming over to take care of you.
Tuesday I put up a valiant effort to go to work and made it there for a couple of hours but couldn't stick it out. I felt so dizzy and the only thing that helped was to lie down. I did trudge over to the grocery store on the way home. And later made it out to vote. I love to vote. Even if pretty much everything I voted for turned out the opposite of how I voted. Except for Obama of course. Apparently we are a liberal state that wants the death penalty and porn stars in condoms. Ah well.
Good news on Wednesday woke up back at 100% or whatever the equivalent is in the seven o clock hour of the morning.
The rest of the week pretty much consisted of laughing at blog comments, articles, and pictures of people reacting to Obama being reelected. You would think the world is going to end. People have truly lost their minds. Got some chuckles out of this .
This one I chuckled at for quite some time. Rodger didn't think it was so funny.
I would caption it "I'm taking my Mitt and going home".
It's all in good fun and seriously last time I checked our country is a democracy and their are many branches of government that control things. One person is not going to destroy the entire country. These people act like the guy was given a blank slate four years ago and turned the country upside down. He's doing his best! Maybe I am wrong. People really need to keep their wits about them though. I like to think that if Romney would have won I wouldn't have acted like this.
My packing kind of came to halt with the flu but will have to get back at it. Shit ain't gonna pack itself. Apparently. Rodger has stayed the course on his packing. And we did hire movers. What a noble profession! I am thankful that we will have a garage where I can store all the crap I don't want to look at but that my OCD (or Rodger' hoarding) won't let us get rid of.
Now it's Friday night. The Lakers coach got fired early today but judging by the amount of cursing from Rodger they still aren't playing any better.
Goodnight folks! Don't forget to tip your waitress. That way Obama can steal it and redistribute to all the lazy people who just choose to not get their lives together because they know the government will take care of them.

Tweet and Retweet went out on a boat
I enjoyed the Presidential debate too much tonight. I get such enjoyment out of it.I guess it's a good thing. That is to care about politics and the state of the nation and be passionate about the topics and issues. The problem may line in that I also care about what other people think too, especially on Twitter. I am watching the debate and checking my feed, and tweeting and retweeting.
It makes the debate a little more light hearted and the fact that I can express myself makes me feel less irate and a less need to lash out.
I can't really summarize all of the tweets and retweets from tonight so here they are. Just because I had such a good time with them all and maybe some of my readers don't have Twitter (Mom).
Let me preface this by saying that I know I am biased and probably everyone who tweets only says things that go in their candidate's favor. But some of them are just plain funny no matter what side you are on.
For those unfamiliar with Twitter they are in reverse order.

Thank God Obama finally said something about the 47%
topic. I was going to have to fly to Florida with a banner or
something.

I loved that debate. I felt like a Jersey hswve repeatedly jumping off the couch.#debate
4 years is NOT enough time to change the world .
Hell , 4 years of highschool & half ya'll still don't know the diff

Romney really hates China. He must never have tried an egg tart? @surfrider128
Candidate says that people should get married before they have kids. Isn't that contradictory?
The thing I will never understand about republicans
is that they are for government staying out of our lives but then their
presidential cont....
Romney: "Guns don't kill people, slutty moms do."

This isn't so bad for Romney. He can easily win
this without single moms, immigrants, the middle class or all women. #debate

Mitt Romney got his second amendment and abstinence scripts mixed up.

I'm pretty sure the shooter in Aurora was from a
middle class family & a college graduate.Not everything is solved by
more nuclear families.

I think things have gone south in the last ten mins
for Romney. How'd we get from gun control to two parent families? #debate
Romney's foreign police is just listing Middle Eastern countries in a worried voice. #debates

"Thank you Kerry for your question. I had a horse
named Kerry. Fine horse. Had to shoot her...(sigh). To answer your
question..." - Romney

Here's a thought - KILL THE MIC OF WHOEVER IS NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE SPEAKING. (I only tweet in all caps when thoroughly
annoyed).

I think the secret service is getting nervous with the circling. #debate

Did the president just say gang bangers? #debate
"Let me step back, ignore your question, and try and
get out of answering this question about illegal aliens." - Romney

But if only his dad had been Mexican! Obama please say it ! Please! I will give you pizza for a year.
I kind of felt bad for romney on the bush questions. There was no way for him to win with any answer. #debate
LOVE that Obama is saying it's not just a women's
issue. That's how a man stands up for women. Not by putting them in a
binder. #debates
Retweeted by Katie Creekmur Long
"Get us a shit-load of binders and wake up the film crew!" Everyone at @funnyordie, @5sf & @theonion right now. #debate
Why does romney assume every woman is a mother and
that they need to be home to cook dinner? Women can work full time and
men can cook.
Maybe I am biased and naive but I never love Obama more than when be talks about social issues and women. #debate
What about an old fashioned dance off? A la britney vs Justin. #debate
Did the president just sketchy? #debate
Romney should probably stay away from percentages. #debate
Obama is like shaking holding back from talking. Romney should try that. Maybe I should too.
"Ull get your chance"Romney was out of line.U can't
talk to pres like that. Of course someone threw a shoe @ George w so
what do I know
All this up and down I think they might take eachother out. Candy where are u? #debate
2 minutes and counting until a "Nervous Jeremy" twitter account pops up. #debate

All this up and down from the stools is giving me motion sickness. #presdebate2012
Honestly, I don't think either of these guys could
get Jeremy a job after college. I can spot a loser a mile away # debate

I am already doing deep breathing in preparation to
not lose my mind when the abortion or gay marriage question comes up. #presdebate2012
I think we all know that the country needs jobs.
How?? Is the question. Do either of these guys understand what a
straight answer is.
I think I will be sad when the election is over. It feels good to feel passionate about the issues. Kind of like being back in college. Only now I pay a lot more taxes. But if I learned anything tonight it's that the middle class will be taken care of. And to hell with China. And if only parents would think marriage was a good idea before having a baby then less people would be shot. That was pretty great watching a conservative spin a gun issue into a personal life choice which conservatives always say the government should never be a part of. Okay, I am done. Maybe it's a good thing Twitter has a 140 character limit.
