Wow New Years Eve! What a slack poster I have been - I have no excuse for my lazy self, except I can never think of anything extremely interesting to blog about.... I have something on my mind though, right now, and what better panel to lay it all out to , than you , my lovely favorite people in the world- does this make me pathetic ?? or does it make us all pathetic since we are all in a cult/club together?? LOL> be that as it may....
So tonight at our church, they are having a Sunday school get together- kind of a yearly tradition- game night! (woo hoo- insert sarcasm now!) I was tossing around the idea of going (wes is working, of course)... Just me and the kiddos- you know, a way to kill a few hours . I went to the grocery store to get something to take h'ordoerve-y (how the heck do you really spell that word?? i am too lazy to look it up) I was talking to my friend who lives at the beach, and she was telling me that maybe i shouldn't go , because i am already in a "mood" about the whole thing (she's right! LOL) and that it may just escalate my mood being with a group of people (God love them- i DO LOVE THEM , however) who think that throwing down is a game night at church. You see, this is one of my three blog topics that I always post about... You ought to know them very very well by now. Let me refresh the newest readers.
1. Going to NYC with someone really fun, dancing on the bar with Leonardo Di Caprio looking on, drinking Grey Goose, with Kelly Ripa and Rocco somewhere in the whole scheme of things...oh yeah, and Deborah Cox on the ipod plane ride there- yeah yeah and no tengo dinero and pacific coast party. gotta have my tunes. i am transparent as hell, yes??
2. How badly we want to move to the beach, get a golf cart, in which to tote the kids, boards and dogs down to the water, which in my fantasy world, is a short three blocks away ( COME ON<>
3. How badly i get annoyed with religion .
So obviously my dilemma falls directly into category 3. UGGGG just choke me. I sat in church today, a great message, if i could just do without the distraction. my friend , the wise one at the beach, told me ever so NOT gingerly, that this is my problem, not anyone elses... not the crazy girl dancing , carrying on with flags and the whole bit taking my short attention span off the worship music... my problem you say?? ok, i have to agree. but why the extreme agitation that i always feel??? the jerk who screwed me out of the huge house is carrying on in the back of the church Praising the Lord, and i am thinking "DUDE shut up , how can you praise knowing you have done something so wrong?? " i will quit going on and freaking on, because it make me CRAZY and makes me want to do either A. or B. from the list up above. i need pills i think.
SOO this brings me to the happy ending. we are NOT going to church- we are not going to sit there, play pictionary and act like i care- i have a hard time faking anything. lol. we are not going to be out driving home late at night with all the crazies/drunks.
We will however, be at home watching a brand new Christmas DVD-Nanny McPhee, eating chili cheese dip with scoops, pizzas, cheddar butter popcorn, cake-batter ice cream with hot fudge , cokes for the kids and wine and hopefully some Im'ing (hint hint sara) for me...
Happy New Year my friends!! tell me all about your night....

Dang! I was having martinis with a friend. Wish you were with me! Next year?? Are you going to Fl any time soon?
I hate the same things about church. People will cut you off in the parking lot then walk inside and praise on. Maybe we need to try to be Christians all the time. :)
miss you

You are one of those people that everyone wishes they could be, but don't have the courage to be...you say what you believe and ACT out your beliefs..."NO IMITATIONS HERE"...rock on sister!!!!

you're awesome!!! this is similar to the process i took when i left the church. i went to a baptist church for a good portion of my teen years and early adult years. i'd always had my doubts about dogma and religion, but they became glaringly clear, and i couldn't put on that particular mask anymore. i could no longer pretend. i think there's some more genuine christian groups out there, but generally i get a bit suffocated. also, my beliefs have changed drastically since then. it's been a whole journey for me. i practice zen buddhism now, although i don't think it's important whether or not i'm called a buddhist or not. i also love sufism and forms of hinduism. and taoism....i LOVE taoism!!! anyhoo, you follow your heart. and when i go to new york, my god i'd love to have you there!

What an interesting read Gina! I enjoyed your musings! :)

Gina,
I was just reading your blog and was very disappointed. WOW! I did not know you felt that way. I guess you are not as honest as you say.
I did not screw you out of the $500,000 house. It did not appraise for what we were told ($700K). I thought you said it was okay that we didnt buy the house because you know we wanted to walk in with equity.
It really hurts to read this. I am very hurt.
I usually love reading your blog. It is usually the only way I could keep up with you b/c I am so super busy with my company, and you entertain me with your quirkiness. But this is a real sobering and disappointing read. I would have thought you felt like you could talk to me....
I hope you are not spreading this around as being true.
