Adoption and such....

I just recently celebrated my 18th year anniversary of my adoption with my parents...(actually it was just yesterday) and it made me think about how different my life would be if these people had not opened their home and their hearts to me. when they took me in, i was a scared and scarred little girl, and now thanks to them i am a beautiful woman with a family of my own. i would not be anywhere near where i am today if it were not for them. i wouldn't have any morals or any sense of modesty.the woman who gave birth to me has been in and out of my life and has caused more pain than she will ever know and it wasn't until recently that i realized that i didn't HAVE to have her be a part of my life, but that i had two parents already and that i would be just fine, if not better without her. she doesn't deserve to know me or my family because she doesn't even know herself. so how can she even begin to know me? if there is one thing that i would thank her for, it is that she made the choice to let someone who could love me and nourish me, be the ones to raise me.
i love my parents more than anything and no matter what i have done, they have always loved me and forgiven me, it may have taken time to get there, but i finally feel like i am having the relationship with my parents that i have always wanted...

Traditions

so as Easter is just around the corner, i find myself thinking about the traditions from my childhood and what we used to do. i remember this one Easter we were at my aunts house and her dog ate my basket of candy! and then there was the one that we spent in Ohio with some friends that had moved from east Middlebury. there were alot of good memories there and i want to have the chance to give my daughter an opportunity to have memories made that she will remember a decade later.

Facebook applications

So there are like over one thousand facebook applications and there are probably just as many spam applications too. what i don't get is how an application like that can be published. i mean isn't there someone who actually test those to make sure that they don't contain a virus or something? if not, maybe there should be someone who does, and not only tests for that but also tests to make sure that the application is legitimate and that is really does what it ways. i mean there are tons of applications where they say you can send free gifts to member who play different games on face book but they don't do a damn thing. all they do is make that person mad and get them even more frustrated. i recently tried using one of those to find out that it was spam. how can spam applications be allowed to be published? i mean everything that you create on face book has to be approved first, so how does something like that get approved in the first place?

The Late Late Show with Craig Fergusun...

Ok so i recently started watching this show and it is pretty funny. He goes on and on about twitter and how its used.
I first saw him in the movie Saving Grace. he was a potsmoking gardener who ends up growing it with the woman that he works for so that she can keep her house after her husband had died leaving her with lots of debts...
while watching this show i have seen alot of mannerisms that i noticed in the movie too and it was just really neat.
He is great at his show and keeps the people entertained until the end.

funny news headlines

So last night i was reading the burlington free press online and one of the headlines of the newspaper was Bad math forces Ed Department to correct list of low-achieving schools...does anyone else think that it is too ironic? it is one of those headlines that you would expect to see on the David Letterman show in the top ten funniest headlines... I saw this and i had to crack a smile.

i miss....

i miss the way you used to touch me, i miss the way you used to make me smile, i miss the way you used to make me laugh, i miss the way you used to make me feel special, i miss the way you used to look at me, but most of all i miss you...
