Hey ya'll!   How's your Thursday goin? Im so tired. Got up way too early and went to bed way too late! Mahaha! I had a good day yesterday, too. Im so very excited for this weekend. I got everything I needed to go to the beach last night, other than the snack stuff for in the car on the way there.

Yesterday was busy, actually! Steve and I went to IHop for breakfast. I got the stuffed french toast. Love that stuff! Steve got the steak omlette and a funnel cake with blueberries. They're having the funnel cake carnival. It was delicious. Momma called while we were there and we had to get the rental car situation hammered out. Done that. On the way home, Steve and I stopped at K-Mart [because they're way less crowded than Wal*Mart and I refused to go to Wal*Mart] and got a few things I needed. Then, came home and cleaned up a little. My belly was so full. So, I laid down and was watching some   TV and fell asleep for four hours.  Man, did that ruin my day. I had a lot I wanted to get done. Oh well! Last night I watched So You Think You Can Dance? and Rockstar Supernova. Fantastic shows. Those went off around 10 and then around 11pm I headed to Wal*Mart for some groceries. Steve and I had made a list, so it helped. Although I ended up getting things that weren't on the list.   Tee-Hee! Came home, Steve carried everything in, I put it all away, got online for a bit then went back to bed.

Today, I am cooking supper for Amy [Cory's girlfriend], Cory, Momma, Steve and myself. We're going to have taco salad. It's quick, it's easy, and it's delicious! Now that I have a ginormous table that seats six, I can make huge dinners again! Im going to make some turtle brownies for dessert. Steve and I also have to go to the BMV. Ugh. That'll only take 3 years.   Steve's gotta renew his license. Then, Im gonna stop at Foodfair [the grocery store] on the way home and pick up some things I forgot last night. I hate that. You go shopping, even making a list so you won't forget things, come home and realize you've forgotten a kajillion things. Steve and I are gonna clean everything today. He even volunteered to clean the bathroom!   He said, 'while you're cleaning the kitchen, dinning room, and living room, I'll do the bathroom.' I know that doesnt sound like a fair trade off, but man, I love it!

Tomorrow is Friday and I have nothing planned. Will probably spend the day with my grandparents, unless they have trillions of errands to run. Saturday afternoon I've got to take my kitties to the vet. They're going to be boarded there while we're gone.   Im gonna miss them! Milo is getting declawed and fixed, too. I bought a sweet pet carrier to take them in. They get inside of it and play. Im hoping they get used to it. They ate a can of tuna last night so they're happy. That's their treat. I'll give them another can tonight because I wont get to see them for a week. If that aint guilt, I don't know what is! Mahahah! Sunday we're goin to go get the rental car for our trip. Sunday night around 2:30am we'll be heading to Myrtle Beach.   I plan to take pictures, again, so you'll get to see them! I'm fair - I share! Mahaha!

Alright, I should probably end this here and get to work. Gotta do some errands, clean up, and stuff. I hope ya'll are having a good day. Teri - I hope we can talk soon. Worried about you. Jackie - hope you're doin ok. Haven't heard from you in awhile. Angel - you know you're my lil bronco girl. Football will be starting again soon! Gonna try to find me a bronco background. Mkay - I'll be updating later tonight or tomorrow! Take care! 

 

 

Mood: Anxious
Listening to: Nothin - Steve's Sleepin

Happy Hump Day, Ya'll! Mahahah! Ever since I heard Wednesday being called "Hump Day", I've referred to it as such ever since. Wow, that sentence was confusing! Sorry! It's early and I already need a nap. Mahah! Im not sure what I have planned for the day. Hopefully it's a busy day. 4 more days until we leave for the beach! Im excited. I hope it doesnt rain this time. UGH! Im sure it'll be nice. So, momma and I went to my friends wedding yesterday. I didnt feel like it at all. I had a migrane, I was tired, everything just was telling me to stay home. I pushed forward. Finally, around noon I called mom to ask her if she would go with me. Steve didnt want to go. I didnt want to go to the reception because I felt like crap. So, momma went. Thank you very much, momma! I was only there like 25 minutes max. It was a quick ceremony. I was the only one standing up front on her side. He had like 2 or 3 groomsmen. It was nice, though. Her babies [her son and her daughter] stood with me. For a small wedding, I think she did great. She made her veil, made her bouquet, made the Allie's basket and the bubbles, she did everything. She even had the reception at her house and had a ginormous cookout, made her own cake, and I think they let off fireworks last night. Anyway - she is happy and Im glad I went. I really hate to tell someone I'll do something for them and then not do it. That's not being a friend in my opinion. Other than that, my 4th of July was relaxing. Just kinda hung out. I cleaned up the house! Man was that a task! It's almost like if you dont clean for like 2 days, then the house looks like a tornado went through. I got it finished though. *cheer*

Ok, enough with the babbling and onto the Hillbilly Humpday Challenge! Good luck!

She sits alone by a lamppost
Trying to find a thought thats escaped her mind
She says dads the one I love the most
But stipes not far behind

She never lets me in
Only tell me wheres shes been
When shes had too much to drink
I say that I dont care I just run my hands
Through her dark hair and then I pray to god
You gotta help me fly away

And just...
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.

This morning I woke up alone
Found a note by the phone
Saying maybe, maybe Ill be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didnt know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for
Myself.

Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.

Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.

Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I just
Could not believe
She was the same girl i
Fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to
Get high
I sat down on my couch
And cried
Yelling oh mama please
Help me
Wont you hold my hand.

And
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.

Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.

Just felt like posting that.

Mood: hungry
Listening to: steve talkin to me

Ugh. I didnt sleep so well last night. I think it's just stress. It'll be ok soon, though. This time next week, I'll be in a car with people I love dearly, almost at the beach. That's comforting. I think that this time when I go to the beach, instead of running around trying to show everyone everything, Im going to stay at the beach as much as possible. Steve and I did a lot of runnin around because he had never been there and I wanted to show him Broadway at the Beach, The Pavillion, and all of the other lovely things to do. One night I do want to take momma to Broadway at the Beach and we're also going on that casino cruise. I think that's enough 'stuff' to do. This should be relaxing.

I still haven't thought about packing yet. Mahah! I guess I'll have to do that this upcoming week. There's just been some stressful things going on in my life and it's really hard to keep everything in order. It's really hard to not get depressed, too. Im just trying to focus on the positives. I always *try* to do that when things arent going the way I want them to. Maybe it just goes to show me Im not in control of certain things. Oh well. Just keep swimming, right?

Today I dont have anything planned. Just going to hang out here at the house, again. If gas wasn't three hundred dollars a gallon, I'd be going places, but I just dont see the need when gas is so high. Mahha! that sentence was somewhat redundant. Sorry. I dont really have much to talk about, guys, so Im just going to stop here. There's no sense in rambling on. I hope ya'll have had a good weekend.

Mood: Happy!
Listening to: Otis meow for Milo. They do that when they're playing! It's so cute

Hi guys! Yesterday was a lot of fun for me. I didnt realize how much I've missed my grandparents! Sheesh! Sometimes I even miss living with them. They are so much company and they are just amazing. I can't imagine my life without them. So ok, yesterday was a blast. I got to my grandparents house a little after 8:30am. I had just gotten some frustrating news from my school and wasn't in the greatest of moods. I got there and tried to put on a happy face, but I just can't fake emotions. So, I called Steve and just vented for a good 5 minutes. He just listened. Then, I told him I had to go. Hung up. Went into the living room. I sat down and just sat there with my pawpaw while mawmaw was in the kitchen doin whatever it is she was doing. All of a sudden a calm just swept over me and the feeling of 'it's going to be just fine' rushed through my head. I instantly calmed down. My grandparents have that effect on me. So, fifteen minutes later, Im back on the phone with Steve telling him that Im not as insane anymore and things are fine and Im ok. He said, 'good, baby, you sound much better. enjoy your day.' Simple things like that make me love him so much. Just the way he's always there for me, through thick and thin. Even when we were split up and even after we were divorced, he was still there for me. We remained friends for the time we were divorced [which we still are, but ya'll know what i mean].

So, anyway, I  had a blast yesterday doing the simplest thing. Caitlin was at my grandparents house all day and I stayed there with her. Around 1 or so we [my grandmother, caitlin, and myself] started playing Uno. We didn't stop until 7:30pm! It was insane. That's the first time that Caitlin has ever really just kinda let loose and laughed and acted like a teenager, yanno? It was good to see that side of her, especially since everything has happened. It got to the point where we were getting confused about reverses, skips, and everything else. Caitlin put down a card thats like a draw four and you have to pick the color, she had one card in her hand and she said, 'Six.' Mawmaw and I just looked at her and I said, 'Six isnt a color.' We all started crackin up. Caitlin laughed *so* hard. It was refreshing. Im gald to see her like that. She's going to a church camp this upcoming week. It's going to be great for her. She's going to socialize with kids her age. That's what she needs. That's what all kids need, in my opinion.

Today I dont have a single thing planned. I was gonna go back down to my grandparnets, but I seriously need to get the laundry caught up and hung up, the house cleaned, and dig out bags to pack in. One week from tomorrow we'll be leaving for the beach. OH HOW I CANT WAIT! Man. Momma is excited, Steve is, I am, and I think Cory is excited enough for all of us. Today I plan on just being lazy. Mahah! Im taking advantage of this while I can. Im trying my best to get a job as a student ambassador. I really hope I get it. It's just part time, but it's on campus and doing the things I love to do. This time, instead of volunteering, I'll get paid! Gotta love that! Im just really praying that when I graduate I'll be able to find a job. Thats the thing that scares me the most. Trying to pick a degree that is marketable. Im sure I'll find something. I have an awesome personality, great communication skills, and a great work ethic. I aint skeered.

Well, I guess I'll stop rambling now. I hope you guys have a good weekend. I'll be on yahoo messenger most of the day, so hit me up if you wanna!

HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL OF MY CANADIAN FRIENDS!!!
