Really? Is it that hard to read the group descriptions on Facebook? I mean, there are a ton of rummage sale groups, but come on, why are we posting things like tables, chairs and even a Pool Cover on a CLOTHING rummage sale group! Seriously? I don’t get how hard it is to distinguish what you’re posting where. I’m sure I’m going to get blasted now, but oh well. I was asked to keep the group from going nuts, and that’s part of it. Clothing means clothing to me.
I give up on other people’s logic. I really do. They do not make any sort of sense.
Really?
Posted January 24th 2012 by tyralynCounter Balance
Posted January 24th 2012 by tyralynSometimes, I wonder if I’m treading on a high-wire, waiting for a gust of wind to knock me off. It really isn’t a lot of fun, but it’s life. Like I said to someone the other day, the greatest thing about life is knowing how quickly things can change. May it be good or bad, but there is change. This person was making a ‘bucket list’ of things to do before he dies. I don’t get it. Why set yourself up for that kind of failure? Who’s to say that you’re not going to walk across the street, get hit by a car and be paralyzed for life and not be able to do anything on your list.
I guess it’s about balance, ideas of what you want to do, versus, what you’re going to do.
Winter wear
Posted January 19th 2012 by tyralynWell, winter has finally hit in upstate NY with a vengeance. Guess that means it’s time to dig out the winter gear out. Oh wait, I don’t have any winter gear. Guess it’s time to take a good look at some obermeyer gear. It looks like it’s good stuff and would be warm, especially for as cold as it’s getting here.
It’s hard to believe that it’s already January, but it’s been a really decent winter so far. I can’t complain all that much about the weather, really. It could be worse!
Red Solo Cup
Posted January 19th 2012 by tyralynOk.. I have this godawful song stuck in my head. It’s lame, it’s stupid, but it’s a damn earworm.
“Red Solo Cup”
Now red solo cup is the best receptacle
From barbecues, tailgates, fairs and festivals
And you sir do not have a pair of testicles
If you prefer drinkin’ from glass
Hey red solo cup is cheap and disposable
In fourteen years they are decomposable
And unlike my home they are not foreclosable
Freddie Mac can kiss my ass, woo!
Red solo cup, I fill you up
Let’s have a party, let’s have a party
I love you red solo cup, I lift you up,
Proceed to party, proceed to party
Now I really love how you’re easy to stack
But I really hate how you’re easy to crack
Cause when beer runs down, in front of my back
Well, that, my friends, is quite yucky
But I have to admit that the ladies get smitten
Admirin’ at how sharply my first name is written
On you with a Sharpie when I get to hittin’
On them, to help me get lucky
Red solo cup, I fill you up
Let’s have a party, let’s have a party
I love you red solo cup, I lift you up,
Proceed to party, proceed to party
Now I’ve seen you in blue and I’ve seen you in yellow
But only you red will do for this fellow
Cause you are the Abbott into my Costello
And you are the Fruit to my Loom
Red solo cup, you’re more than just plastic
More than amazing, you’re more than fantastic
And believe me that I’m not the least bit sarcastic
When I look at you and say:
“Red solo cup, you’re not just a cup (No, no, God no)
You’re my friend, yea (Lifelong)
Thank you for being my friend”
Red solo cup, I fill you up
Let’s have a party, let’s have a party
I love you red solo cup, I lift you up,
Proceed to party, proceed to party
[repeat]
Not Worth Helping
Posted January 18th 2012 by tyralynI was a bit appalled at something that happened on Facebook the other day. Someone was asking for help with maternity clothes because she has lost her job. She had purchased a new car within the last year, she had a good, stable job, and that fell through. She has come up on hard times and someone had the nerve to tell her that she doesn’t deserve to be helped because she has a new car.
Really? This woman has to have a car to get her children where they need to go. She would be further behind if she chose to sell this car, due to the way the economy is. Yet, because she has this car, someone believes she isn’t worthy of being helped. It’s pathetic that people feel that way. I think that everyone deserves help. Who are we to judge whether someone is worthy? Do we know their circumstances? Absolutely not.
My Friend Mary
Posted January 16th 2012 by tyralynThis guest post from Lewis Beck
I was hanging out at my friend Mary’s house the other day when I realized she has way more channels than I do on her TV. Every time I go over to her place we have access to all of these great movies and pay channels that I feel like I could never afford. I finally asked her about her TV package and how she can afford all that being a single girl and all, and she told me that she had a great satellite package that was really affordable. It turns out she pays less every month than I do for my bare bones cable package! When I went home I searched satellite tv arlington and started looking into changing my home over to satellite too. I was really jealous because she had both Showtime and HBO and I could never afford that every month with cable. I am sick of going to her house every Sunday to watch the HBO and Showtime shows I want to see. It would be nice for me to have them so that I could watch them on my own time and maybe even have some friends over for a viewing party.
2012
Posted January 6th 2012 by tyralyn
2011 Went out with a bit of a bang for the last couple weeks and now 2012 has started off rather interesting. Not quite sure what to make of it, to be honest with you. Flu, headcold, dead car battery, what’s next? I can’t wait to see what this year brings.
No resolutions for me this year. I dislike them. They set you up for failure. The future brings what it brings.

Aging
Posted December 19th 2011 by tyralynSo, we’re all aging, right? Right. Here’s the thing, I’m 35 and I’m starting to feel twice my age. I think that a lot of it is because I spend most of my time caring for my mother. Thankfully we haven’t had to worry about Alzheimer’s care for her. She’s of solid mind, which makes it much easier. I do have to say, however, I’m not sure how much longer I am going to be able to do it if she becomes unable to care for herself. I can’t lift her, I can’t do everything for her. I can be here and help her, but full-time care is not something I can do.
It may sound horrible, but I know my limits and I know my body. I know what I can and can not do. Hopefully, though, I won’t have to make any sort of tough decision for a while yet.

When it rains…
Posted December 18th 2011 by tyralynWhen it rains, it freaking pours. Right on my effing head, man. I can’t take it any more, tbqh.
So, in August, our car died. Crap.
We borrowed a vehicle for August, September and October.
October, we bought a vehicle. It had issues.
Today. It died. Shoot me now.
I have officially given up. I really have no idea what to do.
Merry Christmas to me, right? Christmas is fired.

So sore
Posted December 17th 2011 by tyralynI’m sore as all get out tonight and I can not get comfortable to save my life. I wish I could get my back straightened out, but no one wants to do anything for me because I’m “too fat” to have a real problem.
I went out last night and bowled with the husbandly one. We had fun too. Sadly, we didn’t have any of our friends with us, but it was kind of nice to be on our own. I love that we don’t need to have people around us to do something.
We’re likely not going out for NYE, even though I’d like to. I don’t drink and I really don’t know that I want to go out with drinkers.
Oh well. I think it’s time to head to bed, but first I have to pay my online life insurance bill. I keep forgetting and if I don’t pay it today, the husbandly one will not have coverage. Oops.
Time for me to go stretch out and de-krispie my back. Ugh.
Just 1 more week. Ho Ho Ho.
