I feel just incredibly happy and elated. Don't know why, but I do. There is a sense of peace, direction, and happiness. Something that I have not felt in a long while. Thinking about what could have made me feel this way and finding none, has simply led me to the conclusion that I must be growing up. Things that would simply drive me batty before, scarcely raise an eyebrow anymore. Still there are things that drive me completly batty.

So, I put together the Batty-ness list:

1. Dishonesty. Yep, it drives me quite pots, or batty or annoyed to know someone has been dishonest with me. Weird, though I have to know to turn batty, otherwise I am live in blissful ignorance. So, in summary, if you want to be dishonest with me, just take it outside and leave me out of it. 
2. Computerized sales dialing. In the same light, business that don't pay attention to 'Do not call lists'. Annoying bums!
3. False flattery.  In the same vein as the dishonesty. Some people live under the illusion that if they flatter someone, then it will all work out. Flash News: No siree bob! If you want to compliment, then do sincerely or don't do it at all.
4. Folks who bluff when they have no business talking about the subject in the first place.
5. Being re-gifted. I really do like to take the time to find something really nice and perfect for the folks I truly care about. It drives me completly nuts, if my gift is re-gifted... and perhaps more batty if I actually told about the same.

I realize that some of the items in my batty list are silly and weird. But then they are on my batty list (make one for yourself!). Most of them I am working on to make me less batty. But should I really be working on them? Aren't these the quirks that really go to define who I am?
