I got laid off from my job because business is slow. It's been almost 2 weeks and I still haven't found anything. KB Homes is building $90K homes in my community and dropping our house value $30K. I am on a board with the other neighbors protesting this and hopefully stopping them before they break ground on 1 of those ugly ass cheap houses. I don't know yet if I'm going to be able to start school in January. Money is starting to get tight. The dogs might have to start working the corners. But at least Will and I still have our health!

So I got this letter from my chick doctor saying my yearly pap was abnormal...I have to have a colposcopy done. Fucking lovely. It's probably nothing. I have decided to try and save up enough money to get my surgery done by my birthday if possible. It will run me around $4,000. It is something I have always wanted and genetically needed. I might take our last year here and go to surgery tech school. I'm thinking thats what I want to do. It's not cheap though. The program is $11,000. I don't get much financial aid either because Will and I suposedly make too much money. I'll figure something out I guess.

...how people can be so close minded. I have never in my life been surrounded by so many people who can't seem to see anything but what they chose to. The believe that only their beliefs are real and that everything is wrong. Isn't that the definition of ignorance? I'm so completely amazed that there are actually people out there who have no idea what is outside their little bubble. If someone has different beliefs from me whether it be political, religious, or whatever I don't look down on them for it, I just disagree is all. I agree to disagree as they say. But here it seems like I'm the anti christ or something. Hmmmm. All I can do is just keep reminding myself that it's ok do be my own person and to not be ashamed of what I believe in. Everyone was raised a different way and see things from different perspectives. I think that is what makes America such an amazing country. If everyone was the same it would be boring. So why woukld someone think that a different thought or view is wrong?

I am sooooo excited!!! This weekend Will and I are going to Houston to visit some friends and to see Jeff Dunham our favorite comedian!!! He's hilarious check him out!!! Walter is my favorite!!

I have decided on what costume to get for Lily for Halloween. Seeing as how the dog can clear a room.....I thought this would be appropriate......
