The Month of November

The month of November has been a roller coaster of emotions. There was an incident that we didn't foresee happening. It took a major toll on our marriage. We have since learned and grown from this experience. We also thought my car was going to last YEARS, but unfortunately, with all of the work that has been put into it and with stuff still going wrong, we couldn't afford to keep dishing out money on a vehicle that was already paid for...so I had to get a new car. I would rather put money into something that isn't going to overheat instead of putting money into a vehicle that keeps leaking coolant somehow and the Ford dealerships can't seem to fix it right. I also have to get better with my profanity. This has been a stressful month, and I needed an outlet. That was the wrong way to go about it, but it sure felt better when I let it out. I need to focus my frustrations in the word of God. I have figured out some issues of my health problems. The main problem is my birth control. It is counter acting with my IBS medicine, which is why my cramps are worse than IBS, and why I can't lose weight. It is destroying my body, so now I am going to have the IUD inserted. I also found out something else interesting about my lady parts, but I will keep that to myself so no one gets grossed out. Nothing wrong :) she thinks I will be able to have children, but we will find out in the long run. I really like working at Kohl's. It is such a fun environment and I get the hours that I work for and want. I can see myself there for quite some time. I have also applied for two different, what I would consider, promotions with the PD. We will see how that goes this month. I KILLED it with LimeLight this month. Absolutely nailed it. I'm so proud of myself that I can't wait to see myself exceed through this company. All in all, it's been a heck of a month. 2017 has definitely been one of the worst years in a while. It gets harder and harder without my grandmother here, but I know she is helping guide me through this path of life. I will keep you all updated!

"The Book Thief"

I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."

Beowulf

“Beowulf” is a well-known Epic poem. There is one scene that I absolutely love to read each time I read it, which this makes time number four. Unferth is who you could call the king’s right hand man. When Beowulf arrives to Heorot, Unferth attempts to degrade him. Unferth only has one thing on Beowulf: the fight between Beowulf and Breca. Beowulf lost the fight and Unferth felt the need to say that Beowulf wasn’t as high and mighty as everyone claimed he was. Beowulf explained what happened during the fight and then he goes on to pick a bone with Unferth. The passage reads, “Now I cannot recall any fight you entered, Unferth, that bears comparison. I don’t boast when I say that neither you nor Breca were ever much celebrated for swordsmanship or for facing danger on the field of battle. You killed your own kith and kin, so for all your cleverness and quick tongue, you will suffer damnation in the depth of hell. The fact is, Unferth if you were truly as keen or courageous as you claim t...

Inside Out

I waltz into my master bathroom to draw herself a bath. I remove the blood stained clothes and sink into the hot, bubbly water. The suds around mebegan to fizzle and pop, taking me back to the Vilmart dinner I had with my husband just a week earlier. Two champagne glasses sat half-filled on a white tablecloth that reached to the floor. Candles burned in the center of the table. I had been busy staring at the menu while my husband stared at me. Every once in a while I looked up and studied his disgusted scowl. I finally closed her menu and said, “Are you really going to be mad at me forever?” “Do you not realized what you’ve done?” I looked around to see if anyone had noticed his angered tone, and leaned in towards the middle of the table. I whispered, “Nothing happened.” “Yeah? And pigs fly.” “Would you stop?” He leaned in towards me. “No, I won’t. Do you know what it’s like getting a phone call from your best friend at two a.m. saying that he went out and saw your wife in the sa...
