What is going on today

I took my mom shopping today and then we went out to IHOP for supper after groceries were put away. These days whenever I get together with my family we wind up talking about the most interesting topics.  It can range from religion to politics to science or mathematics.  Lately its been mainly religion or politics.  Today we came to a collective realization is that no one is worshipping the same god as anyone else.  Every one has their own world view.  A person's religious beliefs are colored by their perspective.  And each person's god is exactly what that person believes it is.  So therefore no two people are worshipping the same god.

Another day another dollar!!!  I am having surprising success at work suddenly.  After months and months of struggling and feeling like I was getting nowhere, I find out that I wasn't really struggling as much as I thought.  First of all I got a raise....kind of mid range of what was possible.  Before my annual review my manager had said it was unlikely that I would get the full possible raise.  Since then they started the bonus program.  The bonus is given on a curve.  I think the top 5 or 10 from both sights inclusive (Omaha, NE...Fargo, ND) are given the top amount.  So many for second and so on for 5 tiers.  I got top for the first 2 months and this month I am getting second tier. (oh well can't win em all)  I am getting kudos after kudos.(appreciation comments from customers) also my manager (who tends to nitpick) told me I did a phenominal call the other day.  She told me that she gave it the highest QA score she has ever given.  I know this post is full of bragging...but every once in a while a person has to step back, and admit their accomplishments.  If a person only admits to their failures, then their life can get pretty depressing.

For those of you who haven't noticed, I wrote a new poem yesterday and added another photo today.  You should go have a look-see.

One more comment.  I went to look for a picture of a dollar bill to accent this post and I found this basket of money picture.  Wish I could find that basket of money.

SWEEEEEET!!!!  I have been grinning ear to ear today.  The Wanderer and I got into some pretty deep sharing last night.  He said a couple of things that tipped me off to how much he really felt about me.  This morning we talked about it some more and then he agreed to be exclusive.  It has made me happy all day long.  He said it was absolutely amazing that I was back in his life again, and he never wanted to lose touch again.  I guess third time is a charm.  I even wrote a poem about his big metal beast. 

My brother made a facebook announcement today.  He said that he has finally come to the decision that there is no way that the christian god could exist.  I of course agree with him 100%.  I don't know what to say right now.  My train of thought keeps getting interrupted by the Wanderer.  I guess he'll be my subject of conversation for a while.   If I am going to be perfectly honest I am split on him.  My emotional side feels that there is a reason he came into my life a third time after 20 years.  It kind of takes the old saying, "If you love somebody set them free..." to an extreme.  Also with most ex's there is a reason they are an ex.  The reason he was an ex was more academic than emotional.  He lived in WI, I was at school in MN, and he had a couple of emotional crises that were very difficult for him to deal with.  He didn't have the energy to put into a relationship....especially one that was long distance.  My logical side says that he doesn't want a relationship because he is a truck driver and is never around enough.  For that reason he doesn't want to date anyone.  My labido says......well I'll let your imagination figure that one out.  So its 2 against one, but the one is a very big one.  Also my logical side is also wondering if this is not another wish to be accepted after the ultimate rejection of the divorce.
