Taking the easy way out

We are moving into mum and dad during the whole rebuildning and renovating.  
On the upside:
- no dust and noises
- mum's meatballs and mashed potatoes
- no need to clean or do laundry (I will however help out)
- new job starts on Monday

On the downside:
- living with mum and dad again after more than 10 years on my own
- it's far from my gym
- no cable
- no dvd
- no good music
- constanly being around my parents.

I know I'm bithcing and complaining but I'm spoiled with having things my own way, coming and going as I please and eating when I want to.

Watched a documentary about the US elections. If I where to vote, I'd vote for the democratic party but I wonder if the average American is ready for either Hillary or Barack? Don't get me wrong I'd love to see either one of them as the next President. But what if choosing between a black brother and a woman they will turn to whats safe: the white guy McCain and there'll be 4 more years of republican reign.

I wonder if Hillary wins: will she appoint Barack vice-president?

Take care

Music, ghosts and annoying men

I have finally gotten my act together and moved my entire I-Tunes library from my old PC to my new sweetheart. It took a  while but I think I got it right.

The huge renovating of the building has started. This means dust, drilling and cheeky workers. Why is it that some men feel the absolute need to speak to women like they speak to a child? All I did was ask one of the workers to make sure that the front door closes when they leave. I don't think that is an odd question. His reply was (in a very don't-you-worry-your-little-head-with-that-tone of voice): Oh well you see, honey (what?!?!) when we walk in and out carrying heavy things like we do, it easier to leave the front door open.
Oh ok wow thank for that info. I meant for you to clos it when you leave for the day.
Him (padding my arm): Oh honey we'll try to do better. Just you run along now, ok?!?
Me: Wow, that is so sweet of you, really. Thanks!

God, what an idiot!
Speaking of idiots: A huge issue right now are gender neutral church weddings. I'm all for it.
Mr S and me didn't do the church thing since none of us are believers. I would feel very weird, actually disrespectful to those who do believe if I was in a church and promising "in front of God to love, honor and obey".
In France they have solved it. he civil act is the legal one and if you want an additional blessing by the church you can do so after or before the civil ceremony. I really don't think the church should have that power kind of power anymore. 
I don't believe in heaven nor in hell so who are they to tell me where I'm going after I die. 
I am going to stay on and haunt all my loved ones until I'm reborn as a new fierce version of myself ;)

I finally got a hold of the wedding photographer so we are getting all our pics. I'll post some here as soon as I get them.

Take care
