Jeesh. I totally forgot that I even had a Livejournal blog. I rarely use it since I have my own blog (as you can see from the date) and originally got it so I could spam friends' blogs who use this thing. Anyway, I figured I'd toss up an entry just to update. If you're really interested in reading all my whining, bitching, moaning and random thoughts... you can go to my main blog at J00wish [dot] com. Clever, ain't I? Current mood:  chipper.
Current mood:  groggy.
It's been so many years since I've had to deal with family issues I'm at a loss. Jake's mom is just being ridiculous. All I can do is stand beside Jake and support him through this time. I can understand her missing him and his infrequent calls obviously aren't enough to sustain her mood swings. At this point I don't think daily calls will make her happy. This morning we did our usual routine of messing around with the computer while getting ready for work. Jake went off to get ready and came back to check a new IM. Suddenly he yells, "Oh what the fuck!" His mother sent him a "guilt text message" Mother-in-law: Hi Jake it's mom wanting to say hi and i love you. why don't you call me any more am i that unimportant that you don't call to see how everyone is? or are too busy to gave a damn? i would love an a response someday. It hurts me alot knowing that you think I'm don't that important any more . i know you have your own life with Odessa ,but forget who took care of you some many years. i love you with all my heart and more please call me . i work 11-8:PM . After staring at each other in total disbelief I tried my hardest to be supportive. Ten minutes later the phone rang. He looked at the Caller ID (thank G-d for that) and sure enough it was his mom. We were just leaving the house and shook his head and let it ring. She hung up. He decided that he would call her over the weekend. He didn't want to be upset at work and frankly he didn't want her to think that acting out would get a result. It's like she's in her terrible twos. It's hard to know what to say at times. It's been so long since I've even dealt with family matters. I know it would be nice to talk to his mother more, but every time he calls her it ends up being a guilt fest. I can't blame him for not wanting to spend his time off being chewed out. The other day he spent 45 minutes of his hour lunch chatting with her and then tried to get off the phone so he could eat his lunch and be back in fifteen minutes. She got offended. It's a no win situation. I used to dream about moving to Texas and finally having a family. We would meet up for a girls night out or brunch and just chat about everything and nothing at all. Now all I can think about is moving just close enough for emergencies and holidays. Welcome to family life... Current mood:  drunk.Current music: Gorillaz - Dare. "In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance only the Jewish race that received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of the whole nation, and that I would then among other things settle the Jewish problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: if the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevizing of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!" I grew up learning about the Holocaust. The pictures of the horrors that happened will haunt me forever. While Jews were the primary target there were many others who suffered the same fate. My father said that I am shown these horrors so that we remember and it does not happen again (to anyone). Sadly enough it has happened over and over. I wonder if we will ever learn from the mistakes of hatred unchecked. You don't have to be Jewish to learn from this lesson... just human. Take a moment and look at the Holocaust Timeline. Take care when calling someone 'the enemy' until you understand the reasons behind it.  Shalom Current mood:  melancholy.Current music: Sarah Silverman - Give the Jew Girl Toys. I loathe holiday spirit during this month. When I arrive at work: Coworker: So, what are you and Jake doing for Christmas. Me: Nothing. (pause) We aren't doing anything for Chanukah either. Coworker: Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't think... Me: Don't worry about it. Ten minutes later: Coworker2: Did you get the email about the twelve days of Christmas contest? Me: Yes, yes I did. Coworker2: Well? Are you going to join in? Me: No... But if you do the nine days of Chanukah I'm in like Flynn. *two thumbs up sign* Coworker2: Oh, I'm sorry. I should ha... Me: Don't worry about it. Coworker2: No, I should have thought about that. Me: Yeah, I know. Don't worry about it. Fast forward to lunch: Me: Cute decorations you have there. Is the Snowman a tip jar? Friend: Funny. Did you put up your Christmas docorations yet? Me: *sigh* Nope. I didn't toss up any Chanukah ones, either. Friend. Oh man... I'm sor... Me: Please, don't apologize. I'm used to it. I think I need to get a star of david to pin on me. Maybe a nice yellow one from the holocaust days. I have accepted that I live in a Christian society. No matter what people say it's the only 'acceptable' religion to celebrate. When they start recognizing Jewish holidays outside of the last item of the news showing Rabbi Goldstein lighting a Menorah I'll start getting pissy about the oversight. What really bothers me is when people keep apologizing to me. It's nice that they realize the mistake and all, but ten minutes of guilt makes me feel like it's a Jewish holiday anyway. I don't care that they're celebrating Christmas. I feel like it's putting them out to call it a 'holiday' party. A room filled with Santas, Christmas ornaments and fake trees is a fucking Christmas party. Throwing a Menorah on the table doesn't change the fact that you're celebrating Christmas. I just don't want to come into work and find another huge dreidal perched over my head. It's like putting a big arrow down saying JEW SITS HERE. Oy. Current mood:  bitchy.
It's so good to be home. I had a blast in Texas but the novelty wore off on Friday. Which was fine except we were stuck there til Sunday. After deep thought and much consideration (and his mother pitching a fit over half a dozen times) we decided that if we move to Texas it will be AT LEAST an hour or two from his family. Close enough for emergencies and weekend trips (not every month, mind you), but far enough to ward off any daily visits or expectations of chores. That woman almost puts a Jewish mother to shame. I love her dearly but damn... My only defense was pure sarcasm. I'm surprised she didn't haul off and slap me. I still think she secretly hopes we'll break up so she'll have her son back. Here's just a few of the tantrums I thwarted. Example one: Jake's step dad, Wayne, says the word 'fucking' and his mom yells "Don't you cuss around the kids!' So I pipe up, "Yeah. What the fuck do you think you're doing?" She ended up laughing and he got a kick out of it. Example two: His mom tosses the top to some food platter to him in a huff to throw away and he crumbles it. She yells "'I don't want to hear ANY more noise!" I say, "Uhhh... can we breath, or is that too distracting to the cooking?" Wayne and Jake laughed while his mother simmered. Example three: She yelled about him getting the fucking bananas. So of course I said, "Will the non fucking ones do?" She hushed and Wayne said, "So which ones do you want?" She snapped "What do you mean?" and he said, "The fucking or non fucking ones?" We all started laughing so she basically just said whichever they have. I could swear I heard her jaw snap at that one, though For the most part she mellowed after I said something. There wasn't much she could do but save face and laugh along. I know that we're going to have a brawl one of these days, though. I love her to death but that woman needs a stern talking to. She treats Jake like a kid and expects everyone to read her mind on what she wants. No matter what is done it's not good enough. Jake's dad is a nice guy, as long as you don't discuss politics, religion or homosexuality. Then the redneck kicks in and everyone gets their feelings hurt. *sigh* It's been so many years since I had to deal with 'family' and all their quirks it's like trying to ride a bike. Every time I get frustrated I look at Jake and realize why I'm dealing with it. *smiles* It's worth every pulled hair. On to better things. So I ran up their outside stairs and fell through a rotted out step. Right up to my knee. The bad news is my foot and knee are bruised. I'm guessing just soft tissue damage. The good news is that it's not my knee that I had surgery on. I may not be graceful but at least I've mastered fucking up one leg at a time. Oh joy. Oh rapture. Current mood:  bouncy.
1. What were three of the stupidest things you have done in your life? 1. I tried smoking and ended up with concussion. 2. I stayed in an abusive relationship and lost friends over it. 3.

If you were given a time machine that functioned, and you were allowed to only pick up to five people to dine with, who would you pick? 1. My dad. I miss him so much. 2. Jake's grandfather. I would love to meet with him and talk for a while. 3. Katherine Hepburn. She was an amazing person. 4. Princess Diana (hush, Am). 5. Eve (and slap her for eating the apple). 4.
