it really is alarming to me how often i heard His name used as such on Burn Notice and White Collar. when did this become acceptable to advertisers? clear example of just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. ugh. i seriously live by the addage that words are words. i don't really get upset by "swearing." i'm not particularly fond of "the f word," and feel it's unnecessary a lot of the times that it's used, but it doesn't offend me so much as a word. imo, unless it's during an extreme emotional time and it slips out or is being used to really show that emotion, it's a rude word. like certain crude words ppl use for anatomy. agian, imo, there's no need to use such language.
but using Jesus's name as a swear, that i just completely find offensive and irritating and completely classless. i lose a little bit of respect for someone when they do that. if they do it a lot, w/o remorse, well... idk. Jesus is my LORD and Savior. even if you don't believe that about Him, even if you are completely a different religion, you should still respect His name. i don't use Buddha or Krishna or anyone else's holy icon as a swear word. no one does. (i do occasionally hear/use "merlin's beard," so i guess if there's a church of merlin i might need to rethink it, but i don't know of one!)
anyway, that's just my little rant about that. i feel like if we as Christians are supposed to respect other cultures & religions, then those other cultures & religions should respect US as well!
so, in other less grrr news today... ! : )
i got up super early for me (like 8:30!) & called in my Rx. they said it'd be ready in like an hour, so i grabbed a 50 cent fountain pepsi at kwik shop, a breakfast sammich at mickey d's, and then went to WM to get cat food, litter, TP & other groceries. i found a pretty black skirt, too! it was most definitely not in my budget, but was only $16, so i just didn't get some of the things on my list to make up for it. and i came in $15 under budget. yay! of course, now i don't have pizza in the freezer or pasta sauce, but i have milk & cream cheese, which means i can make my own! lol pasta sauce, not pizza. : )
brought the groceries home & went to isabel bloom to get a giftie. it was such a pretty day! i didn't want to come back home. *laugh* i was gonna stay downtown moline & go to the JD store, but there was no parking, so i did come home. mom said she didn't want to see a movie, so i tried to get ahold of aunt jan, but she wasn't around! then mom called & said she did want to go to a movie! *laugh* i hung out here reading blogs & whatnot til about 4:30, and then she picked me up.
we saw The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and really enjoyed it! of course i adore nick cage. : ) i think i'll have to own it. the popcorn was delicious, as well, and i'd been craving it for a few days! after the movie, we picked leyton up & went to dinner at culver's. he was in a pretty good mood til the end of the meal, then he was really tired & cranky. and mom got cranky, which doesn't help anything, so i just kept trying to keep his focus elsewhere. oye. it would just really help if mom would realize ...
anyway. it was a good night. hanging out w/ mom & leyton, however, meant that i didn't make it to shauna & magen's wedding reception, which was a bummer! i'd been looking forward to it! and i could have chosen to go there instead, but... opportunity to hang out w/ leyton... i can't resist...!!! plus, i wanted to say bye to anthony because he's headed back to TN tomorrow & i won't get to see him again til october.
tonight was nice when i got home, too. caught up on my USA shows, which despite the irritation were good episodes... oh, and finally got to talk to georgette & joy. yay! : ) now, a little pandora and then BED! have a great night & a happy tomorrow. ttfn!!!
