I'm Back!

Hello to all my blogger friends. I missed you all. Please disregard any spelling errors as my sight is not doing well at all. I still wanted to post and let you all know the No Tech really sucked. I've missed a lot and have some catching up to do. I had over 500 post I missed that I follow. Not to mention how much e-mail I'm going to have at work when I return and yes I haven't worked either. I miss Bre "Mauh" to you Bre ^_^ I did break the no texting or twitter rule that was a given. I will post more soon. My eyes can't handle any more at this point. So I will catch you all later.

Range

I'm long over due for a visit to the range I keep getting these newsletters from the indoor range I'm a member of I don't mind them but some of the things they include in them I don't agree with. I understand I'm not your typical (republican) gun owner. I'm more the " middle of the road" when it comes to political issues. Depending on the subject I may go Ind, Rep, or Dem. I must admit I stop reading the newsletters regularly during and after the election although I still have them. They were filled with so much hatred and fear. Encouraging people to buy guns before and after Obama won. Due to those newsletters I had decided not to renew my NRA membership last year. I continue to be a member of a club whose views are very different than mine because I like to shoot targets/competition etc.. and enjoying doing it in a controlled environment as oppose to going up to the mountains and shooting with people who have no understanding of gun safety.

Here are a few clips (copy/paste) from some of the newsletters the ones I do not think are appropriate I will not include. Let me know some of your thoughts on them please! Am I overreacting or justified in how I feel?

"One of our staff members said that the front page of Newsweek should have
a smiling picture of Barak Obama with the caption: "Barak Obama - The
Number 1 Gun Salesman in America"

"The interesting thing is that we are finding there are two reasons why more people are buying guns. The first is there is a legitimate fear that the assault ban will be coming back and people are buying AR rifles, high capacity handguns and small, very concealable handguns. The other group is nervous about the deteriorating economic situation and potential social unrest (crime wave) that might develop. We are entering into interesting times and we are here to help!"

"We encourage you to stock up on guns and ammo that may be banned or regulated by the Obama administration "

"Election Implications: With the election of Barak Obama, a lot of people nation wide have been buying guns just in case the new administration puts more stringent gun laws in effect. We are still able to get handguns and rifles shipped in from our suppliers and we are not inflating our prices on special orders. Our pricing is 10% over our cost plus $30 for shipping. So, if you are concerned about the future, we can help. The areas in which you might see restrictions are on assault rifles and high capacity magazines. Remember, we are the only place in town where you can try before you buy. We can also make bulk ammo purchases for the people who would like to stock up. For details, please visit the store."

After being home for about an hour the person who lives with me knocked on my bedroom door and I said "come in" and this person said "How was your day?" I said " It was good. Then they made a statement saying I think Joe (fake name) is scared of you and I said why? They said I don't know maybe it's because when you came in one day and he said "Hi" and you said "Hey" and went to your room. I said "Why would you think that though, we've never spoken aside from Hey" and they said "because the last couple times you've come home he all of a sudden has to leave." They said he just left I said "when?" they said right after you pulled up I said I didn't see him.

I said I know why he is dodging me and they said why I said "because he saw me in my ******** a week ago and is probably nervous about facing me" They said Oh Yeah! I forgot about that happining. I don't know what the big deal is I'm not embarrassed or upset about it. So I need some manly advice from the men viewers of my blog!

What would be some reasons why he would be nervous facing me after that incident? Has anyone been in his position before? What the big deal? I would like to understand. Also he still hasn't mentioned the incident to my friend. My friend doesn't care they think it's funny :) So my mind is wondering........................

UPDATED: I guess the men are shy! Okay any Females have any opinions

Thinking out loud

I'm trying to decide if I want to take up karate again. I feel I need a little more fitness in my life right now. I know swimming laps during lunch is good, but I need more. I really hate going to the gym by myself or running by myself. When I was active in running my good friend (sister) and I use to run together in the evenings after her husband and I got home from work she was a stay at home mom. Once her husband was settled in for a couple hours then I would drive over and off we went without the children she only had 2 children a baby and a toddler.

We would start it off going uphill on our route and it was near their house. We would run 5ks together just for the fun of it we never cared about time as long as we finished in less than an hour. We would run together 95% of the race until towards the end and then one of us would start sprinting. The best part of the race was seeing my Godchildren (nephew & niece) and their father at the end waiting for us to cross. I cannot describe the feeling but it was good.

About six months after our last race together her husband killed himself with his police issued weapon. Why? We will never know, but what I do know is that he left two beautiful children behind and I am grateful that her and the children were in another state when he did it. Statically if they were home he would have taken his family with him. He was a runner also he enjoyed longer races like 10ks so we left that to him to do and he had his family waiting for him at the end also.

Due to the him killing himself in the home she decided not to return to the home or even the State with the children. So I was left in charge while in my 20's of getting things shipped to her hiring someone to do a bio hazard clean up, hiring a Realtor to sell the house, locating 3 hidden weapons in the house he hid to give to the police so that they could be shipped to his father because she did not want them. Apparently weapons have to be shipped between police departments across state lines when changing ownership. I handle things very well under pressure it's just when it's all over that I break down. It's around that time of year I start thinking too much about this life experience. This is when I lost my running buddy. The first 5k race I ran after this I ran alone since she was living in another state. When I got to the finish line I literally had a panic attack it's funny now, but it wasn't then. I was use to having someone waiting at the end and I had flashes of him and the kids it was very traumatic. I still struggle with doing a race and having no one waiting at the end.

This is my brain on stress!

I have my normal routine in the morning. This morning I ran into a little snag. There is one other person who lives with me and this person is normally in their bedroom sleeping due to me having to get up so early for work. I sleep with my door shut most of the time If I'm not alone. I have the master bathroom so I can go into the bathroom from my walk in closet and there is another door that goes out to the hallway from the same bathroom. So I normally go to the bathroom brush my teeth and shut the other door for privacy if it's open.

Well this morning I did everything exactly the same. After my shower I was trying to figure out what I was going to wear so I only had my bottoms on. I decided to go and get a glass of soy from the kitchen. Okay, I did this in my bottoms only it's my place so whats the big deal right? As I started drinking from my glass I felt someone looking at me so I lean to the left and saw a man sitting up on the sofa having the deer in the head light look as if he was being hypnotize. I smiled gave a little wave and put my glass down and walked back to the bathroom. Once I was in the bathroom I looked in the mirror and said "Oops". I guess it could have been worse I could have had a lot more eyes looking at me like my anime friend above.

Needless to say I'm suppose to be informed if someone else will be staying over. I would assume he was awaken from the sounds and and looked up only to have a surprise waiting for him. I'm not upset or embarrassed which is kinda odd. I would have been embarrassed in the past. This was a test and a test I obviously needed. I had nothing to be ashamed of it's only a body.

The moral of the story is do not walk around your house naked, half naked, or three quarter naked unless you know absolutely 100% that you are alone ^_^
