At work, I am on a committee for my department. Our particular activity for the month is a food drive. We have been making posters all night. I never knew my hands could hurt so much from coloring! Goodness they are turning our pretty though! Im very proud of this project!
Lately my lovely boyfriend, Adam, has been overly needy. This is not like him. I get ready to go to work, he asks why I have to leave. I always respond with some quick jab about us buying a house! He just frowns that cute puppy dog frown, then whines about me being gone. I get to work, he sends sweet emails about how he misses me. Yep, hes gone mad! No, really, I love it. He's never been so sweet and adorable. I hope the cute boyfriend stays! Maybe he will even start cleaning up the house tooo.....
Bridezilla... Enough said, but wait theres more! Her birthday was Sunday. My baby sister, the munchkin is fuming! So Ive mentioned before that she doesnt have a job, what I havent mentioned is that she has borrowed a whole lot of money from Munchkin. Well seems that her fiance(who was in on the borrowed money since they were both released from jobs at the same time and live together) got her a watch that has a real diamond in it and spent a ton of money on it! Hello, baby on the way! Where are the priorities???
House! We may have found the one! So excited, our friend is going to see it on Wednesday to make sure that theres no electrical or structural damage. Since he is a contractor, this is very helpful. Not to mention that he is Adam's brother in law, so hes really just looking out for our best interest! Plus hes totally A-D-D so he will be rip, roaring, and ready to go on the improvements I would want to do. Hes really good at around the home stuff!! Thank God for Blair!
I fell in love the other day... With a dog! More like a horse, but a dog. Her name was Kitty Cat, she is a 15 month old Great Dane. She had spots like a milk cow! Oh my goodness, she was just so calm, sweet and beautiful. I dont need kids, I think I want her! Adam says that I would probably never be able to have friends over, for her sheer size! I guess people are scared of big dogs! She was only 115 pounds, shes still go a while to grow....

House!
So this week, I went to see a house. I like it. Its got that nice, older home, charm to it. There are somethings we would have to change, and somethings that we wouldnt. All of the things we would change are strictly cosmetic. For starters, the carpet is all original, think red shag on the stairway, red print (that you cant see the print) in the basement, yellow low lines in the bedrooms and brown shag in the living room. All of which is totally ugly! But we can fix that. Theres some ugly brown wainscotting that goes all the way up to about 3 1/2 feet in the living room, hall way and dining room. Theres a faux brick in the kitchen, which I like but Adam hates. I think that gives it the country kitchen charm. Actually it reminds me of a home I frequented as a child, that was a farm family's home. Of coarse it needs new paint, but I like painting! It also needs tiling in the bathroom and kitchen(as it has carpeting now).
All in all though I am excited! What fun! A house of my own I hope!

Bridezille Update
So if any of you have read any of the postings, I think there were two previous to this one, you will know already that my older sister is getting married. Well shes been just horrible to all of us since she got engaged (one month ago or so).
Now it seems she is pregnant. Just how far along, we don't know! She has yet to go to the doctor. Well we all figured that with this being her second wedding and such, she would decide that she needs to put her baby first. No instead, her and her fiance are going to JP it, then they are going to make us all come down there and have her big ass wedding. WHAT!
Have I mentioned that she is PREGNANT! Hello baby needs to come first. Have I also mentioned that currently there is no income! She was fired from her job, he is still between jobs from a lay off! Jeeze, people!
Common sense, you're gonna go get married at the Justice of the Peace! So let the family throw you a huge party after the baby is born since all of us are in Nebraska and North Carolina, then its all done! None of us can afford to come down when the baby is born, then turn around and come down for the wedding a month or two later. This really is what she wants us to do. Like we are made of money.
Today I told her that I can only come down once next year. I will come down when bean is born, then I cant go back for a while, until I have vacation time again. That could be near a year! I told her that after we made out our budget, that I was lucky to get the one trip. I am getting ready to buy a house, I have to pay my bills before I can do anything.
To this she says "well I guess you just don't love me!" WHAT!!!!!! Are you freaking kidding me?? I love her so much it hurts, but I want her to use her head! Now she really is Bridezilla!!!

Thursday Thirteen Edition #1
 |
1. I have a great family! I just don't know what I would do with out my sisters, mom, step dad and brothers! They really are the best, even though I complain about at least one of them constantly. 2. I have the best boyfriend in the world, Adam is absolutely wonderful and puts up with everything that I can throw his direction. 3. I am healthy! Yes this is a big deal to me. Half of my family(paternal side) all have died slow painful deaths. This mainly was caused by the need for cigarettes, but there have been many other reasons. I am so thankful that all my tests for various things came back as HEALTHY! 4. I have two of the best friends in the whole world! Kristy Sue and Kevin Andrew. They have stood by my side through it all! I am so thankful to have them in my life. 5. I have a good job, even though right now I am not motivated at all, that keeps my bills paid and allows me to have the comforts I need. 6. I am finally back in school. Yes I'm on my 3rd semester, but it was a really hard thing to finally go back, which was in large part the workings of my lovely counterpart. That of coarse puts me back at my Adam (no. 2). 7. The good Lord has blessed me with many talents, even if I don't use them. I can sing, dance, write poetry (some of which I have had published) and speak well in a public setting. I count these things, used or not, as a great attribute to who I am and my character. 8. Elvis! Yep I said it! I use Elvis music to pull me out of a funk. I can turn on Elvis and be transformed, even if temporarily, into a very hopeful person. Yes I know that can be rather dorky but I do love him! 9. I have a home to call mine, even if it is not a house, yet. I am working on that one, Adam and I just haven't been able to agree on the right home yet. For the meantime though, I am thankful for this apartment that we share. 10. My two beautiful God-daughters, Katherine and Jaden. They always manage to make me smile. I do so miss them! 11. Adams Family! They are absolutely the best people that I could ever wish for in an extended family situation. They are always so kind to me, respectful and just plain fun to be around! I really do love his family, his sisters in particular! 12. My past, though it has been dark, cold and down right depressing at times, it is what has made me who I am today. I don't know that I would change any of it given the chance. 13. My family here in the blogging community! It really does help me to know that there are people out there, whom I may never meet, that will take the time to share their experience. I love the camaraderie that we have formed! I really look forward to reading your postings and comments! Thank you for reading mine too!!! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!) |

Rocky Mountains
I just really love this picture. Adam took it on his way to Portland, Oregon earlier in the year. It is of the Rocky Mountains. Isnt it amazing that from above, even the largest of things, seem small..... Its amazing what God can create!

Holiday Time
I'm sitting here in the quiet of my apartment thinking about the weeks yet to come of this year. Seems this year has gone by so fast. I'm just wondering what will come of the rest of the year. I have to admit I am a sucker for this entire Holiday season, starting with Halloween. I mean its just the most fun time of the year and I love it!
I love the cold, crisp air, the feeling of electricity all around. The sense of joy that fills the entire atmosphere. I love the way it makes us all feel a little more connected. Well it does me at least.
I just wish that more people loved it for the feeling and for the season rather than for the time of year they can ask for and receive gifts. I love that part too, but shouldn't we give generously year round, rather than at the same time every year? I mean there is more than just the last few months of the year when people are in need!
I hope we can all look at the holidays as a wonderful time of the year this year, but also remember that each of these holidays should be a day that we give thanks that we are so blessed to be here and alive. Thankful that we are all able to be what we want or do what we please. Just remember, its not about what you get, but about what you give.

Breast Cancer Awareness
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month! I regularly participate in various things to help raise awareness or funds towards breast cancer research! Recently my mother and I participated in The Race for a Cure. That was so much fun and I just couldn't believe the amounts of people who showed up to support these wonderful women and men! Yes men can get it too! I met so many women who were going through this struggle, and it touched me.
Recently I have had a sonogram and mammogram on a rather large mass in my left breast. It turned out to be nothing. But I do have to have a sonogram every 6 months now. My doctor was very concerned when my mother informed him that my grandmother had breast cancer as a young woman. Not too much older than me. I have a history of these cysts, but now we are really watching them. She was only 30 when this happened to her. I am now 24.
I believe in supporting this cause. If you want to participate, even just buy buying merchandise, Avon has a beautiful silver bracelet for $5.00! I have that, as do all my sisters, mother, Adam's mom, and sisters. I mean come on its $5.00! Since I didn't mention it, $4.00 of that goes to raise money towards breast cancer research!
Also www.thebreastcancersite.com has plenty of wonderful items! It is time to start shopping for Christmas, why not give a gift that has a wonderful meaning! I purchased a beautiful Pink Ribbon purse just tonight!
Remember that early detection is the key to getting a more positive treatment! Check yourself often! I don't have a personal relationship with every one who reads this site, but I do hope that you all have happy, healthy lives! Please, you owe it to yourself to know that you are healthy!!!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but don't let it end with October's end! Join the Breast Cancer ring at the bottom of my page, if nothing else! Its always nice to know that some one is willing to help spread awareness!

Today has been BAD
I got to work earlier than my scheduled shift today for a mandatory meeting. It went pretty well until 30 minutes in when my manager mouths to me, "we will talk about it later." The question that had been posed was, "our temps just reapplied, how will this affect their status in our department?"
I am a temp. So naturally this concerns me. I have always know that if our department call volume dropped we would go back to sales. No big deal, but my pay rate(just got a big raise) would go down. Drastically. So I'm scared.
Now I was great in sales. I was always getting big incentive for being in top sales percentage. My biggest PRIDE check was almost 600 dollars. Now that's a big performance bonus. So the potential is endless, but I don't want to go back to it when I have been a supervisor for a year and a half. I would go back to a floor where I am respected but would be totally bored out of my mind. I just don't see where I would be happy. I have so many responsibilities now that I would feel it monotonous.
Now I just want to go home and sit in a corner and cry. Sorry if I sound like I'm whining.

Today
So today, once again, I got just about nothing done. I lounged around, did nothing. Well besides school and lunch.
I did how ever manage to get birthday cards for Bridezilla, Katherine(my beautiful goddaughter), My Grandmother, and my other little goddaughter Jaden. So that was my day. Nothing. I miss my girls though. The thought of my Katherine being 8 years old as of today (10/19) is so astonishing to me. She is the reason I grew up in the first place. I didnt want my best friend to have to grow up alone. So I did too. Gosh I miss that girl. Jaden is 1 as of Friday. I still havent even gotten to meet the kid. That just kills me. I so love that family. Hell they have been my family for so long. I miss them soo bad.
So today I was super, mega bitch. Every time Adam suggested something to do, I shot it down. Like pms or something, except Im generally not like that. Part of me wants to just go cuddle up and sleep. But I know I will just lay there. Sleep never really does come.
Finally I gave up and went to a movie with Adam. Yep Im a sucker for cartoons. We went to see the Ant Bully. Totally cracked me up. We really enjoyed it. Im glad we went. I have been feeling so down, that I needed to just crack up for no reason. I love to sit in a movie theatre and hear the kids laugh. Nothing is more honest than childrens laughter. Its almost contagious. For a guy who really isnt a fan of children, Adam loves that too. He amazes me sometimes. He really does.
Well Im just gonna go try to relax. I dont know why I cant shake this sickening depression that set in a few weeks ago. I will be fine one minute, then the next I am weighed down again. Adam seems to notice it too. I need a shrink!

Left behind in the game called life...
Ever sit around and wonder where you lost your way? I do that sometimes. I love the life I have now, but I remember having goals, plans, dreams. Where did they all go?? Some where along the way they got lost.
When I was 17-18 I wanted to be in the Airforce. I wanted to contribute to my country, and see the world. I wanted to do it all on my own. I was fearless.
Then, and I think this is where I lost my way, I met him. He made me think that I wanted something else. Really all he did was control me for 4 years and make me lose that sense of self. Then night he left, I fell apart. I didnt know who I was as a single person. I had long since stopped being able to identify who I was. If you look back the the origins of this blog, thats where it all began. I was a mess.
Now I have, not only, not accomplished the things I wanted then, but they are out of the question. I see all my friends (and my sister) getting married, having babies, and having lives. As far as I can see thats not happening for me. I have a beautiful boyfriend, whom I love dearly, but wonder if he will ever be ready to take that step into the realm of forever. For the first time in my life I really want all those things my friends, and sister, are getting. Why is it that I do indeed feel like I have been left behind?
I mean I practically foam at the mouth when some one shows me their engagement ring, or their happy lives. I just want that. I always told my family I would never get married, at that point I wanted a bigger than life carreer, like maybe the FBI or CIA or carreer military. Then I decided I wanted to go to Police Academy. None of that happened. Then for four years I had a boyfriend who had every woman on the side that you can imagine, and I didnt know about it til after the fact. He had everyone convinced that he was the best thing in the world. But really all he was doing was hurting me the whole time.
Now that I finally have some one I trust, why cant I just be happy living with him, seeing him every day, waking up with him in the morning? Why do I feel so jealous that every one else is getting married? Why do I want that now, when I never really wanted it before?
Why do I feel like super bitch when I mention this to him. Though he really takes it all so well and in stride. He never gets weirded out or walks away when I start freakin myself out. Why cant i just be happy, being.....
Why do I feel so left behind????
PS Im sorry if this sounded whiny. Some times I get depressed and todays been my day.

Africam
Ever wondered what it would be like to be able to watch the wildlife in Africa, with out being seen by the animals? Well if you have, then you should check out this site, www.Africam.com, click on the Nkorho Stream link and watch the animals! Its centered around a watering hole in a reserve in Africa. There is no telling what all you can see at any given time! It is totally live, I am hooked. A friend of mine posted it in her blog, and it donned on me, I have been adicted to this site for a while, why havent I shared it?? Ive seen giraffes, monkeys, zebra, wildebeast, deer, antelope, various birds, rabbits, and much more! Yes it can be slow, but I swear Im hooked! Get hooked with me, or I should say us!

Activities for Today
So I had alot on my plate today, but it really was like a few things to do. I had to go to school this morning, which only turned into a 45 minute endeavor. We had a Government Midterm. Mr. Nich allowed us a 5x8 index card (i think thats the size) to have notes to use on the test. Let me tell you, I had about 10 pages of notes on the front and back of that card. I wrote soooo small. But I had every single answer on it. It only took me 30 minutes of our 2 hours to do the test. My teacher said I had teriffic notes! I am so excited. I know I would have blanked out with out the note card. I am glad he let us do that.
On to the next topic. I also had to go get my title switched to my name on my truck! That took me forever because, I went home to get my insurance card out of my truck ( I was in Adams car). Well it turns out my card had expired, like two days ago. So I had to go track down my insurance guy. Well Larry was at lunch, so we had to kind of hurry up and wait. We went to try to find something appealing to eat, with no luck since we couldnt agree on anything. Well finally we got a copy of my insurance card, and set off to the DOT. Got to the office, it had moved. So we ended up driving to the new one. Once I got there it took 35 minutes, but the truck is now officially mine!! Exciting stuff!
Well for about 3 weeks I have put of doing the mountain of laundry in my bedroom, bathroom and living room. Ok so there was a whole range of laundry mountains in my apartment. But by 1730 this afternoon, I had it all done! Now I just need to get off my lazy butt tomarrow and vaccuum and dust and all that nifty stuff. I try to get all that done once a week, but with all the excitment healthwise, and my baby sister home, it hasnt gotten done in like 3 weeks. So Ive been lazy, Shoot me.
Now I am at work until 0230 in the morning. Whoopie!

This week! All the bruises!
Well what can I say? Its been a pretty good week. My baby sister, the munchkin, AKA Hope, has been home. She leaves again for her base in North Carolina on Sunday. But I am glad she was able to come home! Gosh its been good to see her.
Tuesday we went to the SAC (strategic air command) museum just our side of Lincoln. That was alot of fun. I couldnt stop walking into things. Literally! You know those waist high, lamp posts? I walked smack into one, Hope just died laughing. She was rolling on the ground cracking up, to which my mom checks to see if shes ok, but Im the one that did it! Then inside the museum, I start looking at planes, I walked head first into one of the wings! Hello stupid pay attention. Last but not least, for the day, I went to put my bag around my shoulder, and smacked my lip with my cell phone! So it was a great day with many bruises.
Today I was at moms, we were working on Fried Green Tomatoes, and I ran smooth into moms foot stool. I now have a huge bruise on my right knee! Go me! My boyfriend, Adam, now thinks I beat myself! Haha!
Thank the good Lord I am stuck in classrooms for 5 hours tomarrow. You cant hurt yourself sitting down now can you???? If you can, then I am in the running for the klutz queen title previously held by mom! Oh yeah and I smacked my head super hard on my truck door getting out of it to go to class on Wednesday! I am so damn good!!!!
Have I ever mentioned that my mom isnt the kiss my wounds kinda woman. She just tells me to put some ice on it, no kiss is gonna help it! No matter how many times I put it in her face, I have to deal with it! Haha! She makes me laugh!

Updates on Bridezilla
Well, yesterday my sister, Lisa, calls. She demands that Hope, my other sister, put her on speaker phone. Then she makes the announcement.... "Mom, congratulations your gonna be a grandma!" Ok they arent even married yet! They are supposed to be getting married in April. Well, theres nothing that looks worse than a waaaaay pregnant woman in a WHITE wedding gown. She practically needs to get married like next month in order to pull it off! Ok Im not a crazy bible-thumping Christian, but I do believe in marriage first. Yep I admit I was pregnant at 19, it ended badly. I have no kids, but when she found out about it, after the miscarriage, she spouted the impurities of my act to every one that would listen!
My lovely sister is the kind of person who only wants to be pregnant for the attention and is way self absorbed. Before I get any hate mail, I do love my sister! I am just upset because Lisa is already trying to find ways to make us feel sorry for her. Wanting us to feel obligated to spend more money on her.
Personally I just think she should go ahead and elope! If she still wants a big reception, we can do that! Do it after the baby is born. That way we can see her, have her party and see the new baby. I think that would be great!

Random Acts of Craziness....
As I previously posted, I have an older sister that is getting married for the second time. Now dont get me wrong, I love my sister, but she is driving us all insane. First off she is demanding that we spend upwards of a 100 dollars a peice to buy our brides maid dresses. My mother is a wonderful seemstress, and personally I have never donned a dress that she didnt make. Not one for a formal affair. She prides herself on making beautiful dresses. I dont feel that I should have to spend this kind of money on a dress that my mother can make for around 40 dollars. I hate how that is hurting my mom. She is truely hurt by Lisa's firm resistance to having her make our dresses. So heres some of the things that have crossed my mind on what I just may do with this dress or even better during the course of her weekend!
1. After the wedding is complete, have a bon fire in my mothers back yard. Burn the dress and do a ritualistic fertility dance around the fire, hopefully my rather selfish sister has multiple births! ( I really do love childeren, shes just very selfish!)
2. Wear a sign that says I'm too good for this at her rehearsal. (Yep I have already found a hat with Happy Bunny on it that says this) This was my mother's idea.
3. Let my mother make the dress anyways! Shes super talented! Besides I have to spend a ton of money just to be at the wedding, let alone in it!
4. Put a frog in her bridal bouquet! (shes scared of them, but i know my mother would shoot me)
Ok yes Im being a big kid! I just am going nuts! But hell its fun to think up stuff to do to her royal highness! Its always been fun to think up stuff to do to her. In all honesty though, I will never do anything to take away from the happiness of her day. I really do hope that she has all the happiness and luck possible. I just cant wait for it to be done though! I have to deal with Bridezilla until April! Pray for me!

Well I talked to the Dr.'s office. Stupid nurse just didnt read my whole chart before she called. Turned out that nothing else was wrong. Thank God! She wanted to know if I wanted to have a surgical procedure to remove the cyst. I had already said no, which was in my chart, along with that I had made a follow up appointment for March. Nurse kept asking me all the questions, I asked her flat out if she had read my chart. She put me on hold, then came back and apologized for the inconveince. No big deal, I just felt like I had be alarmed for no reason.
Dont get me wrong, Id rather it be no reason, but I spent all night worried, barely slept. All that because I was afraid there was something terribly wrong with me. Next time I wont freak out so easy! Good news is that I am healthy! Yay me!!!!

Results, News
Well I went to the doctor for my sonogram for the lump. Every thing turned out to be fine, have to go back in a few months. That appointment is to check and make sure that everything is the same. So that was relieving!
However, today the doctor called my mom to tell me that I needed to come back. Apparently there was something wrong with one of my tests. They said that I would only get a call back if something was wrong, otherwise I would recieve a letter in the mail to let me know everything was fine.
This is a little scary. I have to call the nurse back tomarrow to find out what is going on. I am really worried now. I finally got over the whole episode of holding my breath over the breast exam. I am just kinda a little scared.
