Picture help

I am not computer illiterate, but I am not real great when it comes to these things either.   Most of what I know I learned by teaching myself, but I need some help.  How do I add pictures to my posts?  

Halloween

I am so excited that it is Halloween time.  It is my favorite holiday and a big deal in my family.  I have been to some haunted houses and hayrides and am going again tonight and 2 weeks from tonight as well.  I love that all the horror movies are on tv right now.  I even watch all the ones aimed at kids.  They're just fun.  I love passing out candy to all the little kids too.  This year my mom is bringing Tyler tutu to my house and we are all going to pass out candy.  She got him a football player costume.  I will post pics of him in the the costume.  

Woody Allen

Why does everyone love Woody Allen movies so much?  I have tried to watch his movies so many times and the only 2 I can get through are "Everyone Says I Love You" and "Match Point".  I like the former b/c he isn't in it very much and I get to see a bunch of celebs sing and dance who wouldn't normally do so.  The latter was different from his other movies and he wasn't in it at all.   Tonight in film class we watched "Manhattan".  The movie was so damn boring and such typical Woody Allen junk that I thought I would go insane during that hour and a half.  I don't mind a movie that is mostly dialogue, in fact those are some of the best movies.  His movies are just ridiculous and I think it is mostly due to him.  The man drives me insane.  He's quirks and neuroses are extremely irritating.  He just ruins his movies.  I don't get the appeal.  

Intro

Hola.  Since this is my 1st blog and an introduction to my goofy world, it will be quite lengthy. Feel free to take a break, grab a snack or whatever and come back later if needed.  Here goes.

Many people like to refer to me as a confused individual, but I like to think of myself as complex.  I am a liberal person with some traditional views, who often finds themselves on the fence of issues.  I have a hard time with things being black and white, so I often find myself playing devil's advocate for both sides.  With that being said, I will try to keep this blog more light hearted.  (I should also note that I will try to keep this blog clean in the sense that I will not talk about anything inappropriate, but there will definitely be foul language, as swearing is one of my bad habits.)

I very rarely discuss politics or religion with people.  I find that with these 2 topics, people pretty much already have their minds made up and are not truly open to discussion.  They just want to convert you or are looking for an argument.  The only time I discuss these things are when something happens that seriously grates on my nerves.

I am 28 and living in suburbia.  I lived in the hood long enough as a kid to know that I do not want to live there ever again.  I am not naive.  I know there is crime everywhere you go and I still keep my doors locked up tight.  It is eerily quiet on my street at night, but I will take that over the barrage of gunshots I use to hear every night.

Next month I will be married for 9 years to a man who I truly think is the nicest guy in the world.  I have no idea how he has stuck with me all these years since I know I can be a real bitch and/or pain in the ass at times.  I know it is such a cliche thing to say, but I don't deserve the man.  Don't misunderstand, he is great, but he is SO not perfect.  He gets on my nerves A LOT, as I am sure I do his, so he is definitely a pain in the ass.  He just isn't a jerk very often.  I would say for every one of his jerk days, I have about 30 bitch days.

I have 2 adorable doggies, Princess and Gizmo.  Princess is a twelve year old, black sheltie mix.  She is the sweetest dog I have ever come across.  She also has the longest tongue I have ever seen on a dog.  Gizmo is my six year old, fawn colored puggy.  He is a stubborn little booger but he is so lovable.  I do not think I will ever get used to his snorting and snoring, and the gas is unlike anything I have ever encountered in my life.

Since my blog will often reference my day to day life, I should tell you a little bit about that.  I started working at a stock brokerage firm back in 2000.  Over the years I made a name for myself and worked my way up the corporate ladder.  In 2006 I began a trek down the management path.  this is when I realized that the brokerage business was not of any interest to me and I definitely hated the management side of it, but I continued working.  My husband asked me if I wanted to quit and go back to school.  Being the independent, I don't want to have to depend on a man type, I just laughed him off.  Then things got worse.  I was made supervisor o a small, but very complicated and tough department.  I loved all the special projects and responsibilities I was given, but I HATED the personnel side of it.  I was younger that the people I was in charge of and you would have thought they were in high school.  I felt like a babysitter for adults.  Because of the nature of my department, I actually had to work side by side with my department and was not able to delegate the day to day work to the associates like most other supervisors did.  then there was all the bureaucratic bullshit to put up with.  They were so hell bent on making sure our associates were perfect that they made us track every single solitary move they made.  We had to monitor phone calls and emails on a daily basis and it really began to feel like we were in some kind of "big brother" situation.  With the day to day work of the department, the never ending meetings, the employee tracking and monitoring, the bureaucracy and all the day to day stuff supervisors do, I was pretty much working 12 hour days and still having to work from home once I got there.  I was constantly unhappy, not sleeping and evil to my husband.  After a very relaxing week in the Outer Banks in NC, a lot of soul searching and the support of my husband, I took him up on his offer from the previous year.  

So here I am; a 28 year old back in college.  I have 2 semesters until I have my associate's degree.  I am the secretary of PTK, which is our honor society, a tutor of math, biology, and spanish, a trigonometry PAL ( I will explain some other time) and a mentor to 2 freshman.  I also help out the student activities board, the math and physics club, have a 12 credit course load, and keep a 3.9 GPA.  I am super busy and still have 12 hour days, but I am loving it.  I am hoping to transfer to MSU next fall where I will major in spanish.

One more thing, I love Yoda.  I have him tattooed on my ankle.  I will post pics of him, my other tat and my doggies at a later date.           

Good night
