Is it me or are people sharing more information about themselves than they should be? It's one thing to say, Hey we went on vacation, had so much fun, take a look at our pictures. Don't you EVER get embarrassed? Whew. I feel better.

China

So I've been in China for almost two years now and can honestly say that until last week, I loved it here. Now I'm not so sure. As most poeple know, the US has eradicted TB. Tuberculosis. Most other counties vacinate babies at birth. Not the US though. So now, here I am at 40 years old and I have tested positive for TB exposure. Yes, you read that correctly. I have been exposed to TB. I don't have an active case and am not contagious but...I could be someday. So now I am on medication. For 9 months. 9 months. Two pills a day for 9 months. I realize there are hundreds of thousands of poeple who take tons of pills a day, but not me, until now. Feeling a little blue and overwhelemed.

Mondays...man I hate them

So today is Monday. You'd think by now I'd be used to them, but they never fail to smack me in the face. I got up in a good mood, Green Bay had beaten Chicago and the Steelers were playing the Jets for the second Super Bowl seat. No Cowboys in the playoffs, but you can't have it all right? So I get to work, and begin my day only to hear my boss talking shit about my husband. I'm so mad I could spit, but what can I do? I'll have to pretend I didn't hear anything, at least for now, but why can't people seem to remember that voices carry? I sit right across the damn hall from him. Idiot. I guess what makes this worse is that the person he was talking to was a complete moron who couldn't find his ass with both hands. Why do people thing they need to run others down to feel better? Jezz, no wonder some kids turn out like they do. They don't fall far from the tree.

Men and the mind

Okay, so all of the ladies I know agree that most men are not deep thinkers and last night I got proof.

After work, Rich asked me if I minded if we stopped at the Handlebar to have a drink with his buddy Mingo. I didn't, mostly because I don't get out much and I was just in that mood. So we go, the guys are there, they are all laughing and talking about how drunk Rich got on thier boys weekend, how funny it was...yadda yadda. I believed every word. 45 minutes or so later, there was a lull in the conversation and I got distracted by the TV, wondering what movie it was and what they were saying. Mingo looked deep in thought so I figured he was thinking about the multi million dollar program he runs for a huge US company. Wrong. I said out loud to no one in particular that the TV was distracting and he said..."I was just thinking how good this beer tasted. How cold and smooth it is." Really? That was what the deep thought process was coming up with? You run the entire Asian section of a huge company and that's what you came up with? Okay, in all fairness we were in a bar but still....so I asked a male friend later if he thought about stuff like that often and he laughed and said usually it was sex. He's like 65, don't men ever grow up and have intelligent free thoughts?

I have been inspired. My friend since childhood has inspired me to use the blog that I opened last year. I opened it in April but never posted anything, never typed a word. Maybe this will be good therapy for me. Maybe not, but you can never tell.

I have been told that I should write a book, I don't know if it is because someone thinks I'm funny or if I wrote down half of what I say it would be voluminous. How's that for a $10 word? But since I don't see that happening, maybe this is just the ticket.

I'm closing this post wondering if anyone will care or even take the time to read what I write. Hmmmm....
