How addicted to blogging am I?
64%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?

Seriously y’all. I’ve been agonizing over this move…worrying that no one will follow me over or change their reader.  Wanting to make sure that all of my images are updated and links work and the colors are pretty.  So, y’know, you’ll actually still come over and visit.  Because I love y’all and you’re my only friends that a) aren’t family or b) are employees (you aren’t, are you?)

Then when Heidi had this up on her site, I decided to see how really addicted I am.  Amazingly enough, only 64%.  I think Mr. Hot would disagree, although he does think it’s slightly amusing.  (And since it was his idea, he better fuckin’ grin when he teases me.)

So, I’m here.  And with my own domain name.  Make sure you change your reader to http://hotfessional.com please.  Pretty please with sugar-substitute on top?  (Because I know you’re getting enough sugar with your Christmas cookies and pies and candy canes.  I’m only trying to be helpful here.)

I finished (she said smugly) my resume.  I’m not thrilled with it, but 15 years of my current employer and the two previous employers and education and certification are all included.  A resume is only a cheat sheet after all.  It’s the cover letter that makes you stand out.  And thankfully, since my buddy the HR Director asked for the resume, (and we’ve drunk [lots of] sangria together), I’m not too worried about the ribbons to wrap it up.  Besides, she’ll tell me what to change and how to improve it.  She may even do it herself. 

MomandDad came over and watched the fuckin’-Lions lose today.  In the last.18.seconds.of.the.game.  They’ve gone from 6-2 to 6-7.  I’m seriously considering changing my allegiance to someone like Miami.  Because they suck the damn whole season long.  They don’t get your hopes up and then dash them against the goal posts.  Our “money” player - Jason-freakin’-Hanson missed a 35-yard field goal that would have won the game.  I bet my Morton Andersen (Sparty, ‘83) wouldn’t have missed it and he’s forty-effen’-six.  (Are you wondering how many different variations of fucking I can use in this post?)

Shortman is being typically 16.  I tried (Lordie, lordie, I tried) to not ask “Have you done your homework?” tonight.  I didn’t ask.  Until he came down and asked Mr. Hot a question.  (I handle any computer/technical related homework questions.  Mr. Hot handles Government/History.  We tag-team Literature courses.)  Shortman came down and asked Mr. Hot a government question.  Less than 15 minutes later, Mr. Hot went up to ask Shortman what he wanted for dinner.  I asked Mr. Hot if Shortman was finished with his homework. 

“I don’t know, but he’s playing WoW. I guess he doesn’t understand that Ds don’t get you into college.”

I didn’t respond. But when Shortman came downstairs, I had to (had.to.) ask if he was done with the assignment.  Needless to say, he didn’t respond with a loving “yep”.  It was more like “Yessss Mom.  Geez.”  If I could format those three words so you could understand the.tone.  (THE.FLIPPIN’.TONE.) I would.  But it would make you grit your teeth and bite your tongue and sit on your hands to not want to throw your drink at him.  (But why waste it?).  He doesn’t get Ds, but he does get Bs and Cs - and he’s capable of so much more (he’s done it, so I know he is).  I just hate being the nag.  And figure that he’ll be much like me, sometime he’ll “grow into himself” and be compelled to be the best he can be.  So, for now, as long as he’s a polite, caring young man who will help in any way he can and loves his family, I’ll take the Bs and Cs.  Life could be worse.  (Besides, I won’t have to waste my drink.)

We’re supposed to have .33″ of ice tonight.  Seriously, y’all.  I.C.E.  covering every thing.  And Shortman  (did I mention he’s had his license for 1 month and 23 days?) expects to drive the truck to school?  The truck that has no weight in his ass-end?  Sigh. 

—- I’m going to refill my glass, have my 2nd cigarette of the day (shut.up.I.know.3.per.day.I.told.you.) and finish reading my bloglines.  Thank you so much for clicking over here.  Please don’t forget to change any feeds you have to http://hotfessional.com. I promise I won’t change one bit. —-
