I’m Still Here
2007-12-28 04:38:00 I am seriously having trouble getting back into my daily routine. I haven’t had much time for anything. I should have quite a bit of free time now that the holidays are over with, but I don’t. I don’t know where it went, but I’d really like to have it returned to me. It owes me a few naps, a few long baths, and some much needed quiet time. There might be a cash reward in store for you if you return my free time to me promptly.
Done
2007-12-26 04:46:00 So Christmas is almost officially over, and I am really excited about it. I only took a gift for my mother-in-law. I figured that if the others wanted gifts, they could buy them for their selves. They don’t buy for me anyways, so why buy for them. Ok, that sounds like I’m a grinch, but I guess I am in ways. I am just so overly excited that I am finished with it all, and can now go back to a nice, quiet, normal life!
Merry Christmas!
2007-12-25 14:31:00 Here’s wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday! Sorry for not posting much lately, and for being offline so much…. I’m loving Jesse’s loving his Wii! (Yeah, I’m the one playing it the most, and yes, I’m loving it!) More About: Christmas , Merry Christmas , Merry

Christmas Meme
2007-12-20 16:36:00 Chrissy tagged me for this Christmas meme, and there’s only one rule… You have to tag at least one person and I know I can do that. Let’s begin… When people say “Christmas” you immediately think… Lights! I love seeing all of the pretty lights. Favorite Christmas memory: My Mama was always very sneaky when it came to Christmas gifts. She would hide them very well and normally wouldn’t even bring them in the house until they were wrapped. I sat down at the table one day and was chatting with her and I picked up a paper that was laying there and read it… It was her list of gifts that she had bought for me. She didn’t get upset and we all laughed about it, but she made me promise to act surprised so that my Daddy wouldn’t find out. Favorite Christmas song or carol: I think it’s called ‘Christmas Canon’ by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Favorite Christmas movie: Well… Ummm… I do have kids so ... More About: Meme

Sleepy
2007-12-20 13:43:00 Kel has been waking me up around 6 a.m. every morning this week. I am so freaking sleepy right now. He’s running around like a wild animal and I can barely keep my eyes open. I haven’t talked to many people online at night lately, because I am just too tired. I don’t think I could keep up with a conversation with my eyes closed. I’m going to try to keep him up later tonight and see if that helps any.
Bored? Chat!
2007-12-19 02:52:00 I spend so much time at home, bored out of my mind. So, what do I do to pass the time? I chat. It’s really strange at the amount of time I spend online chatting with people, when I am so quiet in real life, but it’s fun to do. I never pay for chat lines, I always use free sites like Talk121.com. They offer services like phone chat, that you can use as well as a lot other. So, if you are ever bored and wanting something to do, try free chat. I have made some really great friends online over the years and wouldn’t change it for the world. More About: Chat , Bored
Dang
2007-12-19 02:35:00 I went shopping today and managed to find gifts for everyone that I had left to buy for. Then, I came home and started wrapping and realized that I haven’t bought anything for my sister’s step kids. So, I still have two more gifts to buy before Sunday (we’re having our Christmas with my family on Sunday). I was so happy to finally be finished, only to have it crushed with me remembering two names… Stupid memory!
Easy, Breezy, Beautiful
2007-12-17 04:38:00 I always wanted a beach wedding, but ended up having a church wedding instead. My youngest sister was married on the beach, though. It was a very simple, yet beautiful wedding. If I had to do it over again, I would pass up the church and head straight for the beach. I would love to pass on the bridal gown and go for more of a relaxed wedding, that would be more my style. You don’t have to dress up all fancy at the beach, you can be as casual as you want. If I had the chance, I would wear a little sun dress and he would be wearing a shirt and khaki pants. There would be no shoes, unless it was sandals. How sweet does that sound? If you ever want to have a beach wedding, and are looking for beach wedding attire, then make sure you check out FridayShirts.com. You will find some really cute casual clothing to wear to a beach wedding. They have the perfect shirts for the men attending the wedding, one of which I received is pictured below. It is really a beautiful shirt. I tried to... More About: Beautiful , Easy
It’s back
2007-12-17 03:48:00 I had went almost two weeks with very little spam… Then today it started back. One would think that after several attempts to spam my blog, these idiots would give up… But no! They won’t. It isn’t so bad, since I use Akismet, but I have to search through all of it to make sure that none are there that shouldn’t be before deleting. Anyways, I’m just running my mouth on nonsense, because I haven’t really been posting like I normally do… I’ll be back soon enough…. More About: Back
When will it end?
2007-12-17 03:27:00 Ok, I am really ready to be finished with Christmas. I was doing so good. By December 1st, I had almost everything bought, then I took a break from shopping and now here it is almost here and I have yet to finish. I am stuck on figuring out what to get those left on my list. It’s to the point that I might have to go to some furniture stores and buy lamps or something. I really have no idea of what to get these people. My parents are the easiest to buy for, and yet, they are the hardest this year. Buying for people that have everything is the worst.
I’m Ok
2007-12-17 03:07:00 I tend to be saying that a lot lately. I guess it’s a defense I use to keep others from getting too close to me or finding out too much information. The truth is, I am really ok. No matter what happens, I am always ok. So I deal with things a little differently than most people, but that’s just me. I’m to the point that if you don’t like me, you don’t have to deal with me. That is for everyone, my family included. I sat here today, surrounded by my family, and actually let them know that I didn’t care for the way that most of them treated me. A few left a little unhappy with me, but that’s life. I really have to fix things in my life that bother me or make me unhappy, and the rest are just going to have to deal with it. I’m actually feeling pretty good at the moment…
Not as good
2007-12-17 02:54:00 I guess I am back to using my desktop again. I thought I would really love having a laptop, but it just isn’t as good. It doesn’t have near the space on it that my desktop does, so I don’t load pictures or programs on it. At least I have it for when we go on vacation, though. It’s currently sitting on top of my desk, where it has been for the past week. It’s funny how sometimes we want things because we think they’ll be so much better than what we have, only to find out that they aren’t. More About: Good
Brrrrrrr
2007-12-16 14:22:00 It is cold as **** outside. Why must we go from a high of 79 to a high of 58 in 24 hours? This just sucks. I hate when the temperature drops that fast, it always ends up making me sick. We did get some much needed rain last night. Not enough to take us out of a drought, but it helps. I’m going back to the couch to snuggle up with a blanket.
My List
2007-12-16 04:42:00 There are several things that I want, but have yet to get myself. I could ask for them for Christmas, but I really do not like having to say what I want. There are a few things that I want for my camera, one of them being another lithium battery. The battery that came with my camera only lasts for 2 hours, and it takes quite a while to charge, so I really do need an extra one. I also want another lens, but that’s going to have to wait until I finally finish up buying gifts for everyone else. I’ll get what I want eventually. More About: List
Friends
2007-12-15 06:19:00 I have had a lot of friends throughout my life, but I think that I have the best friends ever at this point. No matter how down I am, some of you know how to keep me smiling. Some of you even know how to open me up to find out what’s wrong… That’s scary, yall should just leave me shut. Anyways, just know that you are truly appreciated and my life wouldn’t be the same without you. *Just a note: Angry, if you change your name to something like “humping” when you comment so that it will say “humping on friends” in the sidebar, I will personally go over there and teach you a lesson!* More About: Friends
A Break
2007-12-15 05:59:00 So, yeah, my life has gone crazy. I don’t really know what I’m doing any more, but I do have a few things figured out. Working out plans for my future really sucks, but I’m getting it done. I could just run away to some Vegas rooms, but I know that wouldn’t solve anything. So, I am just going to have to stick it out and figure everything out. Being an adult really sucks sometimes. I liked the days where I could just not deal with things and it would all work out.

They’re Back
2007-12-12 14:09:00 I rarely remember my dreams, but for the past two nights, I have had crazy dreams. Both nights, I dreamed that I was being mugged. The first night the guy came up to me with a knife and said, “Hey B**ch! Gimme your purse!” Then last night he came up to me with a little pocket knife and said, “Please hand me your purse.” The rest of the dream was the same on both nights. The only difference is how he asked for my purse. I have woken up both nights from laughing in my sleep. The dreams always end with me beating him up and then taking his knife and running away. I can’t figure out why I take his knife or would even think to, but I do. It’s a crazy dream, but I keep waking up happy from it, so I guess it isn’t a bad thing. More About: Back
Take A Deep Breath
2007-12-12 13:58:00 It is always a scary thing when you have to sign your name to a contract when it is dealing with a large sum of money. Well, actually, it is scary to me even if it is a small amount. Finding the right loan isn’t easy to do, either. You should always make sure that you research before agreeing to anything, to make sure that you know what type of loan you need and that it will work best for your needs. Loans vary when it comes to the length of time you have to pay them off and they also vary in the amount you can be approved for. You should always use a site like LoanNetwork.com when applying for a loan because you can get several offers and choose which one you want. With LoanNetwork.com you can get student loans, auto loans, debt consolidations, pay day loans, equity loans and mortgages. All you have to do is fill out a 2 minute application online and sit back and wait for the offers to come in. It is safe and secure, so you have no worries. There’s no social security nu...

Out of it
2007-12-12 13:31:00 I am really out of it lately. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but there have just been problems every way I turn and I’m tired of it all. I haven’t felt like writing on here because the only thing I have to blog about are problems, and well, everyone has their own problems and I don’t want yall dealing with mine too. It’ll all work out anyways. So, I’m going to start back to writing today. I need to make some money, that always makes me feel better.
Must Haves
2007-12-08 19:13:00 I have had several ideas come to my mind over the years regarding a certain piece of jewelry that I wanted, and it isn’t always easy to find someone that can take your idea and turn it into a work of art. Most jewelry stores around me do not offer in-house design, which is why I prefer the larger towns like Atlanta, where you can find Palas Jewelers that offers everything you need. They sell custom jewelry that ranges in price from $30 to $30,000, so there’s something to fit every budget. They have some great holiday specials going right now, and I am so tempted to do more shopping. They have in house appraisals and also offer jewelry and watch repairs. You’ll find southern hospitality at its finest when shopping with them, they know how to treat customers! You can find Palas Jewelers at 3209 Paces Ferry Pl No 10, Atlanta, GA, 30305. You may also contact them by calling (404)846-8122 for any questions that you may have.
Ahhh
2007-12-08 19:00:00 It is unbelievably beautiful outside. It’s sunny and warm, but not too warm. There are no clouds and I hate that my kids will not let me stay out there all day. I could use some sun, I swear I glow in the dark now. I took a few good pics while out earlier, but haven’t had time to save them to my computer yet. I might share a few of them later.
On Break
2007-12-08 15:40:00 Who knew having to write could be so stressful. I’ve only just began to get caught up and I’m already tired. So, I’m taking a short break. I might force my kids to take a walk with me, since it isn’t cold outside. As much as I love to be outside, you would think that they would too. They don’t though. I might even take my camera outside with me, since I haven’t even touched it in quite a while, but don’t expect any pictures of me because it’s Saturday and I haven’t even brushed my hair yet. See how far my laziness has gone? It’s really bad. More About: Break
Slowly
2007-12-08 15:31:00 I know very little about drinking, but one thing that I do know is that it is not really supposed to be done fast. I know a lot of people that like to see how much they can consume in a short period of time, but they end up enjoying it less than if they had actually taken their time. Those are also the ones that you normally find passed out in strange places and positions. I have never tried absinthe, but it sounds like it would be a fun one to try. It is also a drink that is meant to be consumed slowly. You can learn a lot about drinking absinthe over at Absinthe Original, like the French Absinthe ritual. I think it would be fun to try and drink it the way it was meant to be. You can also find how to make different drinks with it, so try some out and find which is your favorite. From that site you can purchase many varieties of absinthe, as well as accessories like glasses and spoons. They have special offers to save you some money, as well as gift vouchers so that you can give it ...
Do You Spock?
2007-12-08 15:03:00 If not, then you should. Spock is a people search website, and it is Spock.com - The Best Way to Search People. You can search by almost anything, from names to tags. Tags can be anything from job occupations to more personal things like the color of hair. This site is just full of things to do. You are what helps to make Spock so great. You can help the search results by adding tags to the search results and you can also vote for or against a tag to further help the system. This isn’t a site for socializing, but you can find sites that the people you are searching for can be found on, like their MySpace, Wikipedi, LinkedIn, or their blogs. You can search for anyone on Spock. I actually found myself on there and was quite surprised because I thought I was being very careful about not letting everyone know exactly who I was. Well, I tend to talk too much at times and things slip out, but it’s ok. I wanted to try a name that is very well known and see how the search result...
Goodmorning
2007-12-08 14:44:00 It’s always nice to have a good nights sleep. It always seems to make me feel better. Ok, truth be told, I only got 3 hours because I stayed up playing pool online until 3 because I couldn’t sleep and then Kel woke me up a little after 6. He’s already destroyed the house, but I’ll fix it back after he goes to sleep. I’m going to get busy now and do what writing I need to do. I’ve slacked enough.
Memories
2007-12-06 16:58:00 I always miss my grandmother really badly around this time of the year. Holidays have never been the same since I lost her. I spent so much of my childhood at her house. I am not sure when her house was built, but it was very old and I was always scared at night. She always let me sleep with her so that I wouldn’t be scared, but I still was. I would lay in bed at night, staring at the ceiling and listening to the tick tock of her grandfather clock. I have one of her clocks, but it does not work and I do not trust sending it off to have it worked on, so I’d like to buy one that is similar to it. She had several throughout her house, but the main one I remember was in her living room. There’s one over at Howard Miller clocks that is very close to it. It’s the Howard Miller Ashley Grandfather Clock, and it’s beautiful. If I had the money, I would buy one for each of my sisters and one for my parents. It would make the perfect gift for them.

When You Need It
More articles from this author:2007-12-06 01:25:00 Let’s face it, a lot of us have bad credit. While I don’t have bad credit, I don’t have any credit, which can be just as bad. I have always paid cash for things that I wanted, and although it’s good to do that, it isn’t when you need a loan. Auto Loans are not always easy to get approved for, but with Auto Loans Mania you can get approved even if you have bad credit. They provide nationwide financial services no matter what your credit score is. That’s a great thing, because not only can you get the vehicle you are after, but by making your payments on time, you can also rebuild your credit score. Never think that there are not companies out there that can help you, Auto Loans Mania proves that there are. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
