Yet another Rant. Sorry.

It's Monday again and I am feeling out of sorts, which is how I always feel on Mondays. I actually call them Mon-DUHS which bothers my husband a lot and is why I continue to do it.

Considering that I am posting this on TUESDAY, you can see how scattered I am. Totally forgot to post yesterday.

I find it hard to organize my thoughts and my life in general at the beginning of the week. I would like to write a very profound motivational post, but if you have read this blog even once, you know that is not likely to ever happen. What is more apt to happen is a post where I rant about something and then my mom calls me and says, " Katie, do you like ANYTHING?"

     No! Not today. No rants.

 How about just a list of the things fighting for my attention today...

- How do you get Karma on your side?  More specifically, how do you ask for a miracle? For example-that your husband wins the car

they are giving away at his company without actually praying for that to happen? I have been told by a reliable source (my grandfather) that you don't pray for things like winning the lottery and such because you will go directly to Hell in a handbasket, and you won't win to boot. Soooo.... I figured, take from another reliable source

(Earl) and "Do good things, and good things happen.." Right?  The problem here is that this may be just a sneaky way of asking the universe for a brand new car. Honestly. I do feel like doing good things and expecting good things to happen is cheating. Crap. Now I just brought honesty into the the mix.

I guess am just going to do good things and if good things happen (brand new CAR), then awesome. If not, then maybe karma will still reward me (brand new HANDBASKET).

-The need to prepare for the rush of emails that I am going to get because of the Census.

Nope, not from the government.

Not from the Census takers.

Even scarier.

From my In-laws.

The minute I opened my census letter I knew I was days away from a full inbox. The in-laws tend to express themselves best and the most through Email Forward Warfare. This happens mostly around election time or any time BARACK OBAMA is president. So yeah, all the time.
Anyway, the cause THIS time?

Behold:

The letter from the Census bureau is written in English at the top but is translated to about 6 other languages at the bottom.
My In-laws will be all up in arms over this because they feel strongly that,

 "if you live in America, you should speak AMERICAN!"  

(This is an actual title of a forward sent to me about 6 months ago.)
I know. You don't have to tell ME.
I am quite positive that the forward will go something like this:


 I am a PROUD American!* I Love God, not Allah!!* I work hard and hold a job!!* I put my hand over my heart when the National Anthem is being played!!*. I support our troops!!* Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein* Barack Obama is going to personally take away your right to bear arms!* Join me in my public outrage* that the UNITED STATES census bureau has the UNMITIGATED AUDACITY to print languages besides english in their letters sent this past week. If you do not speak or can not read english, you should go back to whatever communist country from which you came*!! Let's Take back the U.S*.!!


As you can see, these statements must all be true. Just look at the amount of exclamation points.
If that's not proof, I don't know what is.
Gag.
* These are statements that MUST be in every one of these types of ridiculous forwards. Its is a Federal law.
I hate these emails. I am taking deep breaths and doing finger exercises to prepare for the amount of deleting I see in my future.

Well, it turns out I did have a rant in me.
I should consider changing the name of this blog to RantCentral  or something.

Jeesh.

Happy Monday!!! Tuesday!!!
