Missin much

My heart is so sad right now. I am sitting here thinking about my life and where I am with everything. I am so sad. I miss so many of my friends and my old life. I miss feeling important, being happy and laughing just because. I miss being around people who know the real me and not someone they think I am. I miss just hanging out and not really having anything pressing to do. I miss having someone listen to me and caring about what I am talking about. I miss being able to share my dreams and thoughts with friends. I miss growing up and making mistakes but still being ok. I miss waking up and thinking this is going to be a good day. I miss going to sleep with a smile on my face. I miss being me and that being ok. I miss love and happiness.......

Believe only what you see?

Tonight was a very interesting night for me. I went to a friend's house to make Chex Mix and hang out with her and her mom. We were sitting around while the mix was in the oven and we started talking about her living alone and all the ups and downs that come with it. Well we started talking about her feeling safe and she started to tell me about her friend, Pete that lives with her. Now I was really confused because I knew she lived alone. And then she started telling me about different things that Pete would do. And soon after that I realized that Pete was not a person but a spirit. Now I have to tell you that this subject has always made me uneasy but I do believe in spirits completely.
She told me about lights that would be on when she had turned them off, her christmas tree being plugged in and lit up when she got home from work, "feeling" him when she walked by him in the house, and hearing different noises that she knew she wasnt making. It was very creepy to me and I am just glad that nothing like this happens in my house. It is interesting to me to hear stories about people and their experiences with spirits...Anybody got any good ones? Or do you even believe in this?

New York, New York!

I dont know why I love watching all these crazy reality dating shows on VH1 but I do! I have been watching them for a while now and the latest one for me is "I Love New York 2" which just aired its final show. I think that New York is a loud, crazy ass drama queen and her mom is the devil's wing woman but they are so much fun to watch. It is very entertaining and cracks me up.

So tonight New York was down to her final 2 guys. Buddha and Tailor Made. They are complete opposites and both have done just about everything to get New York to pick them. Buddha is a strong, sexy man that makes sure to keep New York and her mom in check. Tailor Made is sweet but a complete push over and yes man. So after her final dates with the 2 she picks Tailor Made!!!! I had thought for a while that she was going to but I dont know if she picked the right man. Buddha was so sexy and strong and YUMMY! I think she had a blonde moment. But I guess we will see on the after show if it works out. Cant wait to see!

Ice Ice Baby

So I have been wanting to post this since I watched a recent episode of Niptuck entitled "Dawn Budge II". It was definitely one of the most interesting episodes that I have seen on this show so far. And I just had to write about this cause it was so damn crazy!

One of the main characters on the show "Christian" has become a male escourt. Not that he needs to be since he is HOT HOT HOT but none the less he is. A woman approaches him and tell him that she wants him to help her live out a fantasy of hers. She goes on to tell him that she wants him to help her into a bath tub of ice cubes after she has injected herself with a tranqulizer, She wants him to time her to just the right moment before she freezes to death and then take her naked body out of the tub and have sex with her to bring her back to life!!!!! Now tell me if this aint some freaky shiznit!!! So it got me to thinking do people really do crazy stuff like this? I mean I am all for spicing it up and making it kinky but not this loopy! SO what do you all think?

Proud Momma

I just thought that I needed to take a few minutes and write about the best accomplishment in my life. My daughters are the lights of my life. I can not imagine my life without them and cherish everyday that I have them.

Bridget is 6 years old and she is a typical red head. She has a stubborn streak a mile wide and a temper to match. She also is a gifted artist and loves to create. She is quiet for the most part and takes everything in that is around her. She is also a avid reader and would rather curl up with a book than be outside.

Emily is my baby and she is 5. She is a bundle of energy from the time her feet hit the floor until she goes to sleep at night. She likes to try new things and always is wanting to meet new people. She is truly a "social butterfly" and doesnt like to sit still for any amount of time. She is a mixture of wanting to play with baby dolls and wear high heels to slopping around in the mud!

Growing up, I never envisioned this plan for my life. I never imagined that I would be a mother so early in life. I thought that I would go to school, have a great job and have everything planned out and together and then have kids. But that was not to be and I had them both early and right after one another. It has taught me a lot and made me grow up faster than ever. I know for sure that I would not change having them for anything. They make me smile when I am down, they make me laugh when I dont think I can, they love me when Im not so loveable and they give me purpose in life. Its amazing how two little girls could change me and shape me in such a huge way! And I love them more than they will ever know.

Thank you God for them and what they have brought to my life. Please help me to raise them they way you would want them to be. I am a proud momma! Amen~

Life Questions????

While at lunch the other day, I had a chance to talk to a wonderful woman that I work with. We got to talking about her and her husband. She told me that he was in a nursing home and was suffering from Alzheimers Disease. She was telling me how she went to feed him everyday and how he didnt even know her or that she was there. As she talked about him and their lives together before this disease I could see the pain in her eyes and hear the quiver in her voice. I think that it did her good to have someone to talk to and I was more that happy to listen to her stories.

She was telling me about going to feed him and how she wanted to make sure that she was there on Christmas to be with him and make sure he knew she loved him. And she broke down a little when she told me that he didnt even recognize her anymore. He didnt speak words that anyone could understand anymore and that all he did was stare into space for most of the time. She was telling me of the guilt she felt for not being able to be with him all the time. But that she felt for her health she had to try to keep living as best as she could. She just recently got this job and it was just to help take her mind off of being sad all the time and of being terribly lonely. My heart went out to her and I made sure that she knew I would do anything I could for her and would always be there if she needed to talk or cry or scream.

As I was sitting in my living room later on that evening, I got to thinking how hard it would be for someone you have spent your whole life with to dwindle away in front of your eyes. I can not imagine the pain and loneliness that would be. But I admire this lady for the love she continues to show her husband by visiting him daily and by being there even when he doesnt know her. She could just have put him in a home and left and decided he didnt know or need her anymore but she did not. She continues to try to go on with her life as best as she can and still is there for her love who doesnt see her anymore. Something I definitely want to live up to in my life.

I just wonder if I am with someone who would do the same for me. IF I was to have something happen to me like this would I be alone? Would my husband come and see me even when I couldnt see him? Would he speak of me the way she does her husband with such love and sadness in her eyes.......

Small World

I was working the other day and was in the zone that you get in when you are a cashier and you are checking person after person out and still have a long line when I looked up and who did I see??? A guy that I went to high school with! At first I was like man that looks like L.H. but I wasnt gonna say anything cause I wasnt 100% sure. So I just kept on going with my line and then I looked up again and he was like DUSTY!!! Then I knew it was him and it was so cool to see someone that you went to school with. He looked exactly the same and he said I did too. Which could be a bad thing :( or a good thing :)
Anyway I really didnt have a chance to talk to him cause he was there as a vendor so he was working and so was I. But it just put a smile on my face and make my heart all warm inside. He was an awesome guy in school and he still seems to be the same. I wish that I would have had more time to talk to him but I guess it wasnt meant to be that way. But it brought me a piece of home and I was happy about it, brought me back to the days when things were simple and fun. Very cool!

Niptuck nipped me....

So I had been watching this show called Niptuck for a couple of seasons now and it hase become one of my favorite shows to watch. I set it to tape on the dvr and love to watch it. I have to tape it cause it can sometimes be a little much and I would never watch it in front of my kids. And it really surprises me that I like it as much as I do because it is so far from the type of person that I am. It is very sexual and very graphic in nature and that just isnt me.....but I wouldnt miss a show for anything. Weird how that is but I guess Im not the only one because the show is very popular.

The show itself is about two plastic surgeons and their family and their work and then develops into storylines relating to that. It takes on a lot of different subjects and weird and unusual happenings. Anyway I just wanted to blog about it and how much I like the show. I keep coming back to see what else happens and who other crazy stories will unfold. Love the drama and suspense!

Jackson 5 Reunion Tour

I am SO SO SO excited to read this morning that the Jackson 5 are planning a reunion tour. I love their music and their shows all together plus Michael is like one of my favorite singers of all time. Jermaine Jackson said that the tour will begin some time next year and that Michael will definitely be a part of it. He said that he feels that they owe it to the fans and to the public to do it one more time. YAY YAY YAY!!!! I was just watching some video of their Victory Tour and it brought back all of the memories from when I was a kid. We used to listen to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson all the time. They were so good together and it was so entertaining to watch them sing and dance. And then when Michael went out by himself he was awesome! Just like all little girls I wanted to marry him and be his little white glove and play with his monkey......um yeah I just realized how bad that sounded but I gotta leave it (HA HA HA). So anyway I am super excited and even though I probably couldnt get tickets if I tired I am thrilled to see them back out doing their thing and to see what greatness they can do now. Plus we all wanna see Michael again and the moonwalk. YAY!

GONE TOO FAR!

I have been reading and watching the horrible story of Megan Meier and her family since it first came out on the news. It is very disturbing and really sad. To sum it up Megan was a girl who had depression and self-esteem problems. She had a Myspace account and soon became friends with a person posing as Josh Evans. She was smitten with him and remained in contact with him over a month of time. She then became upset and hurt when he said that he didnt want to be her friend because he had heard that she was not nice to her friends. Then he started posting bulletins about her being fat and and a slut. Megan could not take the abuse and hung herself in her bedroom closet. Now that piece of the story is bad enough.

Josh Evans was later found out to not even exist. He was created by an adult neighbor who was trying to find out what Megan was saying online about her daughter! This is the crazy part to me, a grown ass woman is going to act like that towards a young impressionable girl, one she knows has self esteem and depression problems at that! It is sickening and disgusting to me. So now Megan's parents are coming forward asking for the neighbor mom to spend time in jail. I think that they have every right to do this. I cant imagine someone preying on my child like this. And not just someone but a grown adult at that. I dont know how she lives with herself after this because I know that I could not.

BREAKING THE BOX!

I am going to blog about something that has really been bothering me lately. I know this woman who is white and for whatever reason she only wants black guys. I dont understand this at all. I mean she is to the point to where she wont even look at a man unless he is black. Makes absolutely no sense to me at all. But it doesnt have to right? Right.
Anyway she and I were talking today and she was asking me about how I grew up and where and just general conversation. And we got once again on the subject of "hot men" which is her favorite subject. She was asking me what my type was and I was just telling her what I like in a guy and she was saying what she looked for. Then she asked me about skin color and if it was a big deal to me what the skin color of a guy was. I told her it didnt matter at all to me. And can you believe she told me I was lying! She said she could tell that I only liked white men and that I wasnt the "type" of girl to like black men. EXCUSE ME!!! What "type" of girl likes black men? She bumped her head hard somewhere. She went on to try to defend herself by saying that I was too straight laced to be attracted to a guy who wasnt white. I told her she obviously knows nothing about me, which she doesnt!
So anyway, it just really bothers me when I am put into a box like that. If you dont know me then dont ACT like you do! I am full of surprises and always growing and getting better. So if you dont know, you better ASK SOMEBODY! (and maybe somebody who knows me, he he)

HOGAN KNOWS DIVORCE

OH BROTHER! Seems like Linda and Terry "Hulk" Bollea (Hogan) are headed for divorce court. Linda has filled for divorce from her husband of 24 years last week. She is seeking half of everything they have together and shared custody of Nick. She is also seeking alimony and the costs of her court fees to be covered.

Wow! I really didnt think this would happen to the Hogan Family. They always seemed like a really close and loving family that was rare in the media spotlight. I have grown up with Hulk Hogan and have now grown to watch "Hogan Knows Best" on Vh1. The couple's tense relationship was adressed on the show but it seemed at the end of it that all was well and was being worked out. It is really sad that it couldnt be that way in the real world. It looks like as of right now that Terry had no idea that Linda had filed for divorce in the first place and that he was told about it by a reporter. That really stings!

Im sure that this will continue to be a story in the media for a while just like anything else. But I do wish the best to the Bollea family at this hard time. It has to be hard to be such public figures and trying to live a good family life.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS.....

So I had some time over the Thanksgiving holiday to relax and spend time with my family. It was so much fun. We always have such a blast when we get together. But this time my sister and her boyfriend brought up their Nintendo Wii. Now I have heard about this and how much it was in demand and I didnt think much about it. I have always liked playing any kind of video game but not like crazy about it. And then came the WII!!!

I can not even tell you how much I want one. We played it the whole time that my family together and it was so much fun. Even making the Mii (character who looks like you) was a blast. We could all play and it was awesome! And my girls could play it too, which is another positive element. Bridget kicked major booty on the bowling cause she got a strike like everytime. So you can imagine how excited she was that she was beating all of us. I really want one, I really do. Now I just have to plan out how thats gonna happen! OHHHHHHHHHH I want one so bad!

Customer Satisfaction?!?!?!?

OK. now I feel the need to rant for a little while so bare with me. As the holidays are quickly approaching these things have been bothering me more and more. So working in retail we are always concerned with customer service and I am not trying to belittle that because I feel that it is very important. But what about appreciation and common courteousy (sp) for the associate who is checking your impatient ass out???? I mean come on people it is ridiculous. So I am just going to make a list of things that really urk me it the checking out process.

1. Laying or throwing your money down on the register ~ OK so how much time is it gonna take for you to hand me your money? And throwing it you should just be smacked in your mouth for! Didnt your parents teach you any manners at all?

2. Rebagging the stuff ~ Ok I know what I am doing and you dont need to rebag the stuff that I put in the bags. If you wanna do it let me know and I wont waste me time doing it for you and if you want me to bag something a certain way then tell me and I will be happy to do it for you. Its not that serious!!!

3. Greetings and Salutations ~ So when someone comes through my line I just say Hi, how are you? or Did you find everything you needed? And sometimes I dont even really care to say it but I do. So could you please at least say something back to me??? I am not invisible and I dont normally talk to myself. I had this man the other day answer back "LIKE SH*T", when I asked him how he was. Yes I was a little taken back by this at first, but I laughed to myself and laughed out loud when he wasnt around. But he still answered me so it worked.

4. Tags and Labels ~ Please dont bring me something up that doesnt have a bar code or a UPC somewhere. I do not have a magical list that has everything in the store on it with the prices. And dont give me a bunch of crap when I have to call for a price check. UMMMM hello dumb as* youre the one who brought up something without a UPC!!! This is not your first day at life! If you dont wanna wait then get it another time, I see you in here everyday so dont act like it is a huge deal! Or wait and be patient, oh wow thats a new concept!

5. Returns ~ Dont be bringing stuff back that you bought last year or that your dog has been sleeping on for a month. We arent gonna take it back! Dont act like you are surprised or pissed off.

Ok I am sure that I will think of more but those are the ones that come to mind. I feel a lot better now.....whew!

BLAME IT ON ME!

OK so I just had to pay almost 450 dollars for 150 gallons of oil for my house and I seriously about to have a panic/heart attack. Between this and ever rising gas prices I am so pissed off. And who am I pissed at mostly? MYSELF!!! Yeah I said myself because I helped contribute to this problem that so many are having now. I too was fooled into voting for this man we call President. I feel so stupid and so lame and Im not ashamed to admit it. I did vote for him for reasons that I still feel strongly about but I had no idea how much my vote was going to hurt, and hurt my pocket. I just feel like I let myself down and know and paying for it hard! So yeah Im taking responsibility for my actions and kicking myself in the but!

Big Girl Now

I am so excited!! I have offically been at Wal-Mart long enough to buy shares of stock! This is so exciting for me because I have never done this and I feel like a big girl now. I have always wanted to this and now I am actually doing it. Now I just have to figure out how this whole things works and what it means for me. I am sure I can and that I will be able to understand a little more than I do now. So this is something new and exciting for me. I cant wait to see where it goes and to learn more about it. YAY ME!

AWAKE!

Since seeing the preview for the upcoming movie Awake, I have been thinking about the awful feeling that it would be to be in surgery and be awake the whole time. You are laying there on the operating table paralyzed, unable to talk or scream or anything and have to listen and even feel some of the pain and pressure of the operation. I cant imagine this happening to me or anyone else but it does. The statistics I read was 1 in 400 which is pretty good that it wont happen to you but still weirds me out that it even does happen. I was reading an article about a woman in Virginia that this happened to while she was having surgery on her eye. She was having one removed and could feel the pressure of having the eye removed and the sounds going on around her but could not move or make any sound at all. She has nightmares and post traumatic stress from this happening to her. She cant even lay down when she sleeps because of the nightmare she went through. Some crazy stuff if you ask me!

IM LOVIN IT!

Who doesnt love the cha cha slide???? Even my two little girls do it and love it! McDonalds definitely has a memorable commercial with this one! So funny!
