I think if anyone in my house is going to get a cold it is me... I take my vitamins and eat mostly the right stuff and BAM ! I am down!!! Woman down... send in the doctors!
I am actually ok now, just sniffles here and there and my baby boy has a caugh now :(

Well, last week ended pretty sad for us and we will be heading to Clinton, Ok for a funeral for Derek's grandfather, he was such a kind person and I am going to miss him a lot.

Walking

2006-09-14T13:03:00.000-06:00

I walked the local mall early this morning after dropping of the daughter and hubby, it was so nice. The mall is a great place to walk with the air conditioning, great stuff to look at like shoes, clothes and games I want.. did I also say airconditioning?
So this is something I am going to try each day and baby seemed to enjoy the getting out too... we'll see if I can stick to it.

Ahh

I am so glad it is the weekend! It is just nice to have adult interaction and be able to say, “ Hey need help here… take Max for a minute”. Max has been so cute the past couple of days and really smiling a lot and even cracking up. I now feel like he actually likes me and is not mad at me… lol if you do not know what I mean just trust me, he is demanding.

geesh!

I know I am a big and was really big when I was pregnant but the responce "Holy Roly Poly" is really rude dont ya think? Well even though I know it is true it is not something I need to hear and it is a shame because it was posted in a forum of a guild I belong to online. Oh well I guess I can ignore it and think about maybe moving on ward and upward or just know that men are rude asses.
My weight is something I am working on fyi, I am not ignorant I know I am fat but I should not even have to explain my plan of losing to anyone.

errr!

Cats in the Cradle

2006-03-27T10:37:00.000-07:00

This weekend was good, I got a little bit more done to the baby's room and made a few candles.

Sunday was my daughter's step sister's birthday and it was pretty fun BUT it is not often I get to frankly discuss that side of the family. My ex and Renee (step-daughters mom) are on again off again all the time. They fight to the point of blood sometimes and she is usually the one drawing the blood she also has two children from her marriage (still married) that are just sad. I love children but these children make me sad one is obviously a bit mentally retarded and very aggressive toward the step sister that is 6 years old now and then there is the bi-polar brother that is about 16 now and has been in and out of juvenile, drug/alcohol rehab maybe one or twice, and the step sister is so tiny... did Renee take care of herself at all during pregnancy? I lost one3 baby due to a fluke of nature but to have this many children with flaws like that is outrageous and they were all "accidence". Renee drinks, smokes and I am sure smokes pot too and I am 100% sure Courts dad does as well and they live by the do as I say and not as I do philosophy in life... when has this ever worked out? Courtney thinks he is a joke and struggles to even get motivated to see him and if I had my way she would never see him, but then I would not be a good mom and would be can you believe breaking the law if I did not let her see him.
Back to the party, well the little birthday girl was just as cute as can be and all in pink but mom and dad were frowning and muttering how hard it was to throw the party and bitching about the price and that the little girl would not be able to ride the bumper cars… just on and on and on. This poor kid did not ask for you to throw this party and she also did not need to hear her parents that were hung over from the night before talking about the bother it is. My daughters dad still is rarely in Courtney’s life and I threw her parties for years and never once not even while pregnant with her was she a bother. He is such an idiot and during the party while my daughter and husband are standing there Renee proceeds to talk about child support and how much is taken out of his check each month…… what? Why on earth do you care Renee? Why is that your business, why do you care that he paid me $135. for four months and for years nothing. I only have one person on earth I hate and that is Courtney’s father. All I can do in life is love my kids and protect them as much as I can, but so help me if he influences her in anyway with his awful ways I will make sure the Courts take every right he has and since I know my daughter so well I know that she would never go down that path.

TURKEY!

2006-03-21T10:42:00.001-07:00

This week will be my last week at the assignment I am on at LCRA and I have to say it has been really nice and not a bad view from where I work right near the lake.
Yesterday while Derek drove me into work we saw the cutest thing ever, a Turkey hen had gotten herself on the other side of her fence at the biological research center down the road from the office. She would run for about ten steps and then turn and run ten steps, back n forth along the fence line, she wanted back in! Derek called the number on their fence and they said something like “oh dear where is she” I guess she gets jumps out a lot. I think you would have to see to get the effect too, only in Austin I tell you!

Long time no write.

Well I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. I have CHOCOLATES! That is really what Valentines day means to me giving candy and getting candy and letting my family know I love them and I tell them this everyday.

I love this dog!

This morning my dear husband looks so nervous and handsome. He is dressed in nice dress pants, crisp white shirt, tie, BELT, shiny shoes for his interview today for manager position. I know he is so well liked there and that he is so deserving of this position. Wish him luck today with me.

aww what a cutie!

Ok maybe not, those babies I am sure do not want a float stuck around their head! They are still so cute I can not help to say.

Have you hugged your shopping cart today?

Valentines day

I really have never had a bad valentines day. Nothing horrible has ever happened and I never made a big fuss over it. When I was child this was a fun day, there is usually a party and passing out cards and candy. When I was a teen I would get a rose from friends and maybe a boyfriend and as an adult I really only had one boyfriend on valentines and all I wished for was him to get lost. Well next Valentines he was gone but I had a precious present from him… my daughter the only good that he has ever done. Well, Valentines for me was about family from then on out and I taught her that Valentines is our day! I wanted her to know that everyone has someone in their life that loves them and I think she is better for this. Once Derek was in our lives I had to teach her that we can share this day as well.

There are a ton of people that stay in relationships until they heal or get better… god! Dose that works ever? I have tried this twice and then said NO more. These are the rules that I set in stone.

*If you cheat once you will cheat again (phy or verbal same in my book) this has happened to me once.
If you lie about important stuff or where you have been, then you don’t consider me as a friend, why should I?

It was nice having five days off. I really needed to take care of myself. Last Wednesday I decided that this night owl was tired of going to bed each night at 9:00 pm and I stayed up until 1:00am. Waking up at 6:30am after not getting my full nights sleep and being pregnant are not mixing so well for me. I woke up and felt like I had a hangover, I rolled over told Derek I was not going in and called work. I slept until about 11:30 and then felt weak all day after that. I also stayed in on Friday because I just want to make sure that I am ok and I feel better now.

Derek’s folks were in this weekend and they are so great! They suggest that we pull up the carpet in our cat’s room, something we have wanted to do for a long time but could not afford. So we got some great flooring and it now makes me want to remodel the whole house.

Monday I had my first OB appointment and I like my doctor! He tried to find the heart beat but since I am still pretty early on he said, “You wanna a free sono?” HECK YEAH! For any mothers to be this is a dream question to have asked. He took us all in the sono room and instantly we see this little Cupie doll shaped baby and the baby was moving around and we could see the arms and legs! My whole week has been made now, I know that the baby is growing up and that I am still doing ok.

2006-01-09T15:24:00.000-07:00

Wow a new year and it seems a new job is on the horizons for me . I have been at my current job for over 16 months as a contract to hire, but my contact company changed management and do not show that I am… and while they are screwing around with my life, the place where I work has decided to bow out of that contract and just hire someone. I am not bitter because I really need to be somewhere that is more structured and has more people. So here I am three weeks away from not working…wow! I know that I can’t not work but gee that sounds nice. I will of course be temping and when the time is right go to school and finally be a grown up! So do not be surprised one day when you go to have blood work done and its me drawing your blood. I am going to be phlebotomists and then eventually get my nursing degree… I think being a nurse at 75 will be a comfort.... I feel like an old lady just starting out.

New Years

2005-12-29T12:02:00.000-07:00

Since I cannot post a reply to Citizen on Mind Monkey (the blog wont let me for some reason) I wanted to share my New Years resolutions.
Get my car fixed
Start to remodel the spare room for baby
Go on trips in my car that should be fixed
Go to all the renaissance fairs
Have a healthy baby
Stay as happy as I am now.

Almost nine weeks now

2005-12-28T17:36:00.000-07:00

So my body is now starting to feeling it has been taken over. I a getting really picky about food and woman that wear purfume by the gallons are on my hit list.
I am also starting to have nightmares that something will go wrong and I hope after a couple more doctors visits my mind will be at ease.

I am also going to start looking for a new job soon. Wish me luck.

about 4 weeks

2005-12-05T15:25:00.000-07:00

I am amazed that I have been just only tired these first weeks and the morning sickness has not hit me...and it might not.
We are excited about this , it is all new to me again. My first born is going to be twelve and she is really becoming a good person and is a very good friend to others, I know she will be a great person for baby to look up to.
We have thought of a couple names but we do not want to know what we are having. I like the names Shepherd and Kaylie so far...lol if you know us you need not ask why lol.
We are just thinking about a theme for Jr and Monkey's and baby elephants (my favorite animal) and tiger cubs...heh. I love my baby but he/she after all has a hippy for a mom and a geek for a dad so his/her room will have a little bit of everything but educational of course. :-)

Ok who is next? Irma and Jeff? lol

ahhh... well then!

2005-11-11T10:18:00.000-07:00

I love reading blogs and catching up with people, I wish others were updating theirs.

I read a blog from someone who is not a friend of mine and wondered….why would my friend that links his blog to her’s even give her the time of day? My friend should know he is a nice and good guy and he should free him self up for a less selfish and trashy person… she likes the attention and you are not the only one she gets that attention from…..gross

I am so tired today and it is due to allergies again and a back that is still healing. I hope that I get a little bit better before tomorrow night, my office is having a party and their will be gambling yhea!

I am pretty sad that our state decided that two people that love each other than a man and a woman …is wrong. I really think this is sad of them to think. I bet if they gave it a try they would see children being adopted that other wise would not and lots of nice things happening for Austin. I am happy that I found my one and only and I am able to be married.

Silly head!

2005-11-10T15:12:00.000-07:00

I was thinking this morning after the local weatherman said, “ the air is clear of pollution it seems today” when he was referring to a little cool front we had gotten over night on the morning news. I was thinking what I thought as a kid… like why cant we get a big Ol’ giant vacuum plane and have it fly all over the sky and suck up all the pollution in the air. Is that so silly to think? Would I dare bring these types of thoughts out into the open for all to see?

Heck yhea and here goes.

Cars that have children with out their seat belts:

I think the car should be designed so that the neglectful parent in the front gets thwaped (in my world that means smacked up side the head) until and only until they strap their half dressed, un combed hair having, snot nosed brat in the seat with a seat belt! I do not need to see this child being scrapped off the road….

I think we need post-it notes that are pre-printed;

you know to stick on people.… I told you these are silly!! Now shush! They would be called “Give a person a sign” Instructions: Peel and stick on an unsuspecting person, by walking past and bumping into them and or discreetly scooting past and sticking it on the person’s back. I would stick one that said:
Someone lied to me today, I am pickled, Please look at me, I am so totally cool!

On that woman, you know the one that is in her mid-to late years that has just a touch too much make up on by Tammy Fayes standards… they are scary because while they yes may have a perfect “set” that I am sure is their own…yhea! Well they just look gross!

And my favorite post it will be . Why

Pocket lie detectors:

you know they are lying but can you prove it… hmm!?

For the mom or dad’ (usually moms I have noticed) that let their kids do what ever they want in the store

Examples (all witnessed by me!)

*walking in the in a pull-up or diaper when they are past the age of three,

*Scream continuously (not cry whimper or something controlled like that) Scream and scream because they can not get what they want… and all the while the mom who looks like she will explode or is stoned (grinning and in her “happy place) is not saying a word to this child to shut them up!!!

*The kid that is walk all by him self and is not even at the age where they can change their diaper and they are alone in the toy isle…. Did you know that the toy isle is usually the bug spray isle..lol ok that was off topic.

* And you mom you know the one that is on her cell phone talking to one of your “baby daddy” and child # 2 is beating up child # 4 and child #1,2,5,6 are racing down the cat food isle in a shopping cart!

You ALL will get the MEGAPHONE!!!! The manager of the store will scream in your ear until you wrangle up all you off spring and get on your way…. Christ all mighty and bless it be…. We will have none of this in our store!!!!

Cafeteria-style conveyer belt store: This store will have only what you need and you can buy (and this is a plus) what ever you want in any amount that you want... . You will not have to walk all over you just stand there and it will come to you!

Water gun upgrade packs for your automobile: I need this! Horns are so over rated… I want to shoot a huge burst of water at the freshly waxed BMW that is in front of me and swerving because they cannot talk on the phone and drive

…. Oh sorry was your window down… opps!

High power fan hat: This would be worn pretty much any where you go now a days, this hat not only cools you off but blows cigarette smoke away from you and onto the smoker… oh did your cigarette go out! I do not need cancer ok!

I have more but I can not think of them… I told you they are silly... stop laughing at me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2005-11-01T13:47:00.000-07:00

The halloween party went great. I wish that my back was not hurting as bad as it was. I think we will keep up most of the decorations and the cats do not mind if we do.

I plan to have more get togethers for the hoilday's they are fun and we have lots of room.

2005-10-31T08:51:00.000-07:00

Well Jeff and Irma's wedding was so nice and the evening weather was perfect. So irma and jeff if you are reading this.. I wish you guys the very best!

Tonight we are having our first Halloween party in our house and I am excited. I know only a couple people will show but it will still be great because this will be the first year that I have stayed in for halloween! The daughter type has decided she is too old and I could not be happier..heh. So we will have fun with that while we can because ... well, because next year or after that we may have another person to go trick or treating for...a very small one :-) (we hope)

2005-10-28T08:54:00.000-06:00

Happy Land! It is Friday! I am going to ignore the fact that I have an doctors appointment, that more then likely will end in me getting a shot in my back, yes my back is still hurting and I just feel crappy. I have to get better by tomorrow!

I am particularly happy because there are lots of exciting things happening this weekend.
We are going to our friends wedding and I just love seeing good people have great things happen in their lives… I will have tissues a plenty (I cry at ALL weddings).
Monday is Halloween and I am counting that as a part of the weekend , because it will be a blow off day at work.

I have been sick for literally three weeks now. I started off with just a cold and then after that I had a deep cough that took my breath away and now that is gone my back muscles are pulled from the coughing in my lower back. I could barely pull my own self out of bed this morning, in fact DK had to help me! I am waddling down the hall like a person nine times my age just to refill my coffee… and I have to keep moving or I get stiff. You know the crazy thing is that I think it is due to me being rude and snippy to DK here lately and or more realistically I am over weight now and need to lose weight which I do… it is hard to be upbeat when you feel like crap.
On a happy note our friends are getting married on Saturday and I know I will be better for that. I am so excited for them and I know it will be so beautiful!

Saturday

2005-10-01T09:27:00.000-06:00

I am so annoyed by my day so far and it has not ever happened yet!

My daughter is going to see her “dad” (and yes that is the proper way to pronounce it with quotes and all).
I am sad and not because he dose not need to see her but because she did not want to see him and it has been months and now his birthday has pasted and he is having his mother call and innocently invite my daughter over and I do not mind… I got a card a week ago and told daughter that she should at least sign it, and at least send him the card but “no” she says, she did not want to, “I have my reasons”.
Now the grandmother calls and I hand the phone to daughter and all is swell again. Ping! Sterling and shiny and new… no I scream in my head! No you leave my child that I love alone and let me raise her, but I can not say that and the reality is he is her dad that pronounce “dad”. Derek is dad and even my dad is her dad at times…when she was 0-3 at least he was.
I just fear he is going to make her feel guilty and he will of course blame me… me and Derek. We are so bad you know… we are there for her homework, there when people hurt her feelings at school, there for school events all of them, we play games, we buy her things to wear and we even make sure she is doing well in life by providing love, and selflessness. We listen and we have set rules.
Now he who shacks up with a married woman that has two kids one in juvenile for sexually assault to a minor one that is mentally challenge because she was smoking during pregnancy and her dad, my lovely child’s “dad” let me tell you about him he is hateful, spiteful and dose not ever take blame for any thing. He has hurt my daughter by, not being there and saying that he will be there, I have (not recently) had to stay up nights and explain to the tear soak crumble and depress daughter that yes, he dose love and yes he is forgetful and then she grew up and decide for herself that he is the words person for her and she has waited half her life for him and she was done, until today… I guess I do care and I do not want my child around him. I think that I am putting too much in this but I have to because when she was born I was born too, I am her mom. He dislikes me because I do not care and I do go on with my life and have a nice life… blah we work our asses off and we do not drink, sniff or smoke it away is why we have a nice life. I will write more when she is done seeing him today.

2005-09-30T09:28:00.000-06:00

I wish that I would have gone to the ACL fest, but out of respected for my family that may have been running to our house during hurricain Rita I stayed home.
I went last year just to see Elvis Costello and it was worth it and the world was not falling apart then so I felt less guilt. I would have like to have seen Coldplay the most this year and I guess since I am sappy romantical type I like their music and since am a bit weird I also think NIN are also... but they were not at ACL.

This weekend I am going to see Serenity and I am very excited, maybe this will be a star to the show coming back on the air or maybe movie series or both!

I will try to blog more

2005-07-14T10:56:00.000-06:00

Today is a very difficult day and the coming days we may be more distant that normal. DK’s fifteen-year-old cousin is going to be taken off his breathing machine today at the hospital and we are not sure if he will be with us any longer. I for one am hoping for a miracle. This is hard to write because he is still here alive but the doctors have tried everything and it seems that his parents and family are planning for Monday to have a service. I know DK will not say much about this but in side he is really having a difficult time, so any kind words would be great if you are on aim with him. So we will be out of pocket Sunday and Monday day it looks like and back late that night.

Citizen, do you know how to contact Michelle? I was thinking she needs to know. Thanks guys

What a week

2005-07-08T17:41:00.000-06:00

I usualy like it when we get a an extra day off during the week due to the fourth but this week ...!

Friday of last week our office goes home around two so I was giddy when my boss says"shoo" go home at 1:45pm. So lal laaalalalalal long weekend passes.... Bam! Tuesday back to work. I was pretty happy to be back nothing really pressing going on. Well, in my emal box I had an email from one of the guys at work that was traveling, this email ...well here it is....

In regards to the XXXX I asked you to look for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, XXX XXXX will email this agreement to XXXX and myself today. Due to your lack of concern in this matter I will not seek your assistance in the future. By leaving early Friday and no conserdation given to the fact I had been waiting for this agreement for three days, the very least I would expect is a phone call letting me know you were leaving early and that you had not seen the agreement. Another option would be to tell someone, anyone, that I was expecting this agreement and ask them to let me know when it comes in. I had told my customer if I were to receive this agreement I would send it to the buyer immediatly. If my customer had sent it, and I had counted on you to follow through, I would have ended up lying to my customer. Since I could not even reach you on you cell phone, and you didn't bother to return my call, I wasted a day of my vacation to turn around and drive back to the office to check for the agreement myself. I did not want to call my customer at his home to ask if he had sent it. He would have then known that I did not have the professional support in my office that I have had previously. I will not allow my relathionship with my customer be affected becouse you were to busy getting off early to make a simple phone call to me. I will not ask or expect support in the future.

XXXXX ,You should receive the sales agreement from XXXXX very soon.
Thank you for your hep.Blackberry Communications

Thank you for your hep.. just sums it all up. So what happen is I foregot one tiny VERY important detail I was not done on Friday when I left. I felt awful but this! That email... let me just say that I tested my tear ducts on Tuesday and they are working! I was also told that people at my working flyinf off the handle is normal and I will have to get used to it. I am not sure that I will, but I will try. I talked to my boss and he agrees that I messed up and I know I did but I did not think that letter was ok. He said it will pass and also metioned that there is a hiring freeze there. I was told I would have job there after eighteen months I AM 15 months in!!!!! Wow! So I may be stressed a bit because I have some thinking to do. Things were better at work today but still going to think long and hard if this is what I want.

We are back from a fun and odd family reunion down in Corpus Christi. I love seeing my aunt and uncle and my family that are scattered all over. There are a few that only care to nag about their sibblings to a not so ready ear and others that you get to know all over again. I always think of my grandmother and best friend and know she would love to have gone there and would be happy to see us all.

Cruise

2005-06-20T14:43:00.000-06:00

A European news crew or I guess a joke television show (not sure did not read the whole article) squirted Tom Cruise in the face with water, for no real reason other then it seems that picking on people seems to be what people do now days. Yes he is acting kind of dorked out these days and who cares… don’t piss him off he will be in the news even more now! Jeebus!
I have never been a fan of Cruise and or never thought about him is my teens, because a) I was his height at 7 years old and b) he looks way too much like my cousin… I was way more into euro punk geeky guys like Elvis Costello growing up…any who!
This is so wrong what they did and got me to think if it went wrong then it would be ok to :
1) Pop Pamela Anderson Lee Anderson’s Boobs (* I actually think she is very funny, catch her Saturday night live performance a few years back)
2) Brush the Olson twins hair and tell them to STOP making the pouty duck lip pose.

I am sure if I were not horribly busy at work I could think of more… so I actually need to work…yikesMy .2

Race?

2005-06-16T07:26:00.000-06:00

I work in the South West area of Austin, almost the Oakhill and this morning at a light a little red sports car (not even sure what it was) pulled up next to me and reved its engine ...like "lets race!" Last time I check I got into a little dinky Ford Focus... I just thought it was silly so I ignored him then he honked at me! Even if I was not half a sleep I would not race this weirdo. Well, on further investigation when I got into the office my little dinky is in fact a race car! Wow I am cool! These little dinky cars are raced in Europe... wow I am just way too cool now, driving up to Wal-Mart and HEB...Lookout!

PBS and NPR Petition

With the all the new students out there looking for a cause to rant about.... you can mark this one off your list.

PBS and NPR - Petition
In 1995 two well-meaning but misguided students at UNC started an email petition regarding pending legislation that would affect the funding for PBS and NPR. They didn't mean to open a can of worms, but they did. The petition is still circulating on the Internet and has taken on a life of its own.
If you have received this petition, please delete it and advise anyone within hearing distance to do the same.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes members of the Internet community.

When I was a girl growing up I knew that one day I wanted to be married and have children. I planed on being married in my thirties (this also change to being never ever wanting to be married back to at least thirty) and having my first child at 40!
So with that in mind, I did know that I wanted these lovely things at a later point in my life after I was mature. I really think that this is something most mature woman let fall by the waist side. I know that “life” happens and I am a prime example of this.
So despite all my intentions of keeping to my goal and knowing what I wanted out of life… I was a single mother two months shy of my twenty first birthday. I think the part that hurt the most was, what would this look like to my baby sister who was eleven at the time. My sister thought it was “neat” so no worries there and my parents’…ahh at the time I did not care. So once I knew that I was pregnant an amazing thing happened to me, I was probably the happiest that I had ever been in my whole entire life. (Note: I do not mention a father here, which is because he is not…. Peter Pan is more of a word for what he is) I will also say at age twenty one I was not a very mature person, and this I knew because of my goal. I was a good mom, I worked hard to provide everything on my own but there were times I just had no clue about how my life would turn out. I was “mom” I did not do anything but be mom and actually did not date until she was three.
I am thirty-two now and here is what I learned goals can be alter, tweaked a little bit and life has a way of falling into shape. I love being a mom and do not think I have missed out on anything… honest. I can do what ever I set my mind to and I just discovered this only a few years ago…. this leads to my huge angry vent.

Women, Teens, Men and Apes! DO NOT (this needs a repeat) DO NOT!!!!! HAVE CHILDREN EVER IF:
You are an idiot!
You hate children.
You have a drug or alcohol problem
You are a child yourself.
Or
You have them because they are cute little yuppie accessories for your Tahoe
You are selfish
… I think that covers it.

It hurts my heart so much to see all of the children in the world (who I might add did not ask to be born) being beaten, mentally abused and killed because some selfish idiot who hates not only their children but their selves CANT HANDLE IT.
Here is a prime and lovely example of an IDOIT (adoptive mother) who dumped here kids in AFRICA!!!!! She is from HOUSTON TEXAS!!!!

This is interesting. I just read the report about Terri Schiavo and how she became in her vegetative state. They think she may have od on caffeine.

Know anyone that have OD on Caffeine?

2005-06-13T10:50:00.000-06:00

This weekend was pretty eventful I must say! Derek and I are in the process of cleaning up our spare room. When we got married we just had so much junk and we never did anything with it until ...this weekend. I found so many pictures and things I totally forgot about, tossed so many things out that our trash can will be full for a few weeks. So we will have an extra room which is good because I can start painting again and this makes me so happy.

Today is not Friday Akkk!

2005-05-26T07:21:00.000-06:00

First of all Bo Bice did not win American Idol and that makes me sad, I really thought he would make it. I think it is almost better because now he can sing his own stuff and I would buy it if he did so ... he won in my books.

Next I thought it was Friday yesterday when I woke up and again today I hate that feeling !

Sad mood

2005-05-25T09:49:00.000-06:00

I am in a weird mood today. I quit my guild on my Star Wars game and I think I did the right thing. I planned on quitting a long time ago when everyone just got so cliquish... I felt like saying this is a game and you guys are all taking things way to serious and the rules of the guild were getting out of hand, but then people started easing up and the drama stopped.
The reason I quit it because our funny, silly and very married leader (who is also is a father of a young daughter) seems to be having an affair with one of the players and openly I might add. It all started for me when their characters had a wedding that I was the maid of honor in this is before I knew, because lots of players do this but they do not actually take it serious, well the more and more I am seeing that the conversations in guild chat have turned to real life chats and on the website (for the guild) there are photos of her, it almost looks as if she were saying here are the photos so you can see what I look like, like most people do when they are chatting up people online and dating. They are both married and this is cheating.My deal breakers are you do not lie to me or cheat on me, it is simple and makes life pretty easy for me really... it is a clean break. I am married now and do not have to worry because I know my husband is not the kind of person, even though for years he had a fairly skewed view of dating and commitment from a former friend. I don’t have time in my life for people like that. I feel bad for their spouses; I think my last straw was when they pretty much said they are lucky that there spouse did not game and that they would never know. Stop wasting your spouses lives and stop hurting them! People like that are so selfish and just look out for their feelings. The girl’s husband is off fighting the war and is “never home”
Wow so you are upset? Did you not know this before you said I do? ... Here is my suggestion get a divorce then date! So here I am feeling bad and these are people I know IN GAME! I need some real friends!

Working out

2005-05-24T09:00:00.000-06:00

I am back on track with my working out (2-days in a ROW! yippy) so here is the secret.... music! I have a pretty good cd that has some high power matrix type stuff on it.... Yes call me Trinity kicking all the pounds away! So knowing me, I will be SICK of this music soon like the end of the week I will be needing something new. So I would like some ideas on some music. I tend to like Techno, Alternative, Heavy Metal stuff to work out too (NIN, Ministry, Radio Head, Moby) I like lots of music!! So I need fast paced music ideas that will get me in gear.

Walk

2005-05-12T11:29:00.000-06:00

today I will talk a long walk during my lunch hour and try to do so each day.
I am not ready to balloon up like a blow-fish and give up on my self. I wonder how many people my age are going to reach their fifties when they (this includes me) sit around and do nothing most of their lives. So I will walk and eat better and drink lots of water and .... try not to die of a heart attack. Now that I am feeling a little scared of those thoughts I will walk! Maybe one day soon I can actually work out on my Gazelle at home with out needing a cane after.

Smoking Ban

2005-05-09T07:22:00.000-06:00

I am glad it passed. I think people were looking at it in the wrong way the people that were not for the ban. I have been there so addicted to cigarettes that if anyone even told me that I should quit I would blow a fuse, I never thought I could live or breathe or be calm without one. I have not smoked in six years and while I feel really good and can breathe that urge is always there., but then it passes.
It was made really easy when I started working in the medical business and looked at lab results and then later worked for a research lab and saw the results of pre-screens before folks were allowed into a study. It is amazing how glossed over people are.. if you are around ANYONE who smokes near you in a closed room or breath in direct smoke you will test positive for cigarettes… no for an hour or a day BUT ONE WEEK! If you work in a bar or a club you may as well just be a smoker. When I say you test positive for nicotine …yes it is the same kind that causes cancer.
People if you want to smoke, fine. Just do it away from me and my family I chose to quit so I could live and no car exhaust is not the same thing and will not cause the same effects and yes we will all die one day but I will be breathing and not choking to death way before my time when I do.

2005-05-02T16:35:00.000-06:00

Today started out and my car did not, So Derek drove us to work and school and that was nice.

I am here at work and have all kinds of plans for what I want to do when I get home, I hate doing that because I always end up not doing anything that I think of, almost like I am rebelling against myself.. I have to remember I am a grown up now.

Things that I know I will do is:
Get a car battery
Get a movie at blockbuster ($15 a mo all you can rent!!!)
Play either SWG or WoW (Maybe both)
Watch OZ (season 2 thanks to Evil Mike for letting us borrow it)
.... but I need to vacuum too and walk and do grown up things too... we'll see.

Ahh I wish it was time to be home now. soon!

Dear * Blank**

2005-04-26T14:45:00.000-06:00

Dear lady-on-her-cell-phone-backing-out-of EB Games the other day.

Yes I did almost run into you and yes I am a *Bleep!* I just can not figure out how you can cram yourself into a Jeep truck with a cup of Amys ice cream in one hand and a cell phone in the other up to your ear with a spoon hanging out of your mouth and drive all at the same time... and you also mouth the words "You bi###!! It really was amazing!

Dear School lady

Thank you for almost running into me this morning! I especially liked the look you gave me as you almost hit me and my daughter. I will make sure to return the favor.

Dear Lady who randomly called my cell phone today

Yes you did call the right number!
No this is not your boyfriends number!
Yes I am pretty sure!

*** She sounded like this was a normal part of her day calling her boyfriends cell catching him in the act.

Dear Lady who also called my cell phone BUT while I was on a confrence call this time!!

Oh really ?

Ok you will have to talk to my husband about that?

Oh ok we'll pay that right away!

*Click

(confrence call person) "Yes folks! lets make sure to Mute our phones while on this call...." "Right, ok lets get back to the session...."
(me) !!!!!!
! I swear I really thought I hit the mute button!

day is almost over and I am happy about that.

I love Austin

2005-04-22T15:51:00.000-06:00

I am prolly one of the very few true Austinits (born and raised) but I do wonder if there is anywhere else better, I would hope so but what I here is that here is it.

My out-of-town family from Vermont, I really do not think enjoy all the hussle and weirdness that Austin has to offer, My husband Derek and I met them out at Shady Grove a place I thought that they would really enjoy and love (I think Shady grove is very Austin and has not changed), I think they did like but it is hard to tell with them, heh. It is neat to vist with them and see family that I look like (my dad's side of family) and just to feel like a whole family for one night.

..it is 5pm got to go.

Going to start blogging more soon... maybe diff blog site. Not sure yet.

Thursday

2005-03-17T12:41:00.000-07:00

I think it is great and all that everyone loves St.Patrick’s day but do you really?
Do you know who St. Patrick was?
St. Patrick helped Ireland change to Christianity (a lot will claim that he introduced it to Ireland) Ireland was only half Christian at the time. He was loved because he did not force his beliefs on anyone and he would help everyone and deliver his sermons in fields in small villages so that they would have the opportunity to come to a church service. He celebrated by building a bonfire on Easter to celebrate and pretty much honor the gods like a ritual and this is how the sun symbol was incorporated into the what we know as the Celtic cross.

On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

I for one am not Irish and if I am it is not enough to claim. So Happy St. Patty's day to all ya'll! I am pretty sure there will be a lot of crazy people out tonight here in Austin so Derek and I will stay put. I think this is sad but if people want to get wasted and gather then !!!! heres to you... maybe there will be one less idoit in the world tomorrow.

I will drink but not kill my self doing it!

2005-03-09T17:29:00.000-07:00

Momma Monkey! She is L.B.M. biggest fan.

Ok last one for today: This is sad in a couple of ways.

A fifteen year old girl (child ) was murdered, and you she was out at 3am. I think it is also said that since this girl was gay her story was not up with all the other headlines. I hope the man who did this stays in prison forever.

GREAT!

We are idoits..blethering idoits. USA needs to pull its JAR HEADED, trigger-happy troops out now. This is all we need is another COUNTRY mad at us. I know we are SORRY and it is an Opps..
This is not right!

The worse things that have happened today:

2005-03-03T14:00:00.000-07:00

1. I broke out in hives on my arms and neck.
2. Cried because I need chocolate (fat-free sugar free....nevermind)
3. ....wanting to scream at someone in the office so bad (SEE 1. )

I guess the best part of the day:
1. I have a job that I love (this is so odd and something people hate to admit).
2. The day is almost over and I am going to play games until my mind turns into mushhh!

Water water water

2005-03-02T08:20:00.000-07:00

Ok so far so good! I have drank a ocean of water and been more active....but this is my falling off point so I will be extra careful.

SLOW AND STEADY WINS the race (or loses weight)

:-) I hope.

I start TODAY

2005-02-28T10:06:00.000-07:00

I am such a girl! I am always worried ,sad and mad about my weight! Today (I have to get over also this is about the millionth time I have started this ...but!!!!) is the day I am going to START to get on the right track to losing Half a small person (gross).

I will lose ^) lb (its code lol) by May 1! I think I can do this if I eat only low-fat food (which is not so bad anymore), drink 8-10 glasses of water a day and exercise.

Ok so there it is out there, I said it…. Now to actually do it!!!!!!

Day after OSCARS

2005-02-28T09:19:00.000-07:00

I love the Oscars night because it is a really good source for movies that I would have never thought about seeing and now I may give them a shot.
I love seeing all the dressed up stars that would probably never dress up otherwise. The clowns that are on the “red” carpet that are critiquing the stars out-fits are complete morons and I doubt they have a honest or intelligent bone in their body.
Who cares what the stars wear, they are people too and they dread these things because of the dumb press people.
I love Chris Rock but could do with out the praise to Michael Moores movie and just because I do not like MM dose not mean I am not against Bush, I am however against hate and violence…liberals I am beginning to think you are for this…prove me wrong (yes this is a dare) get your message out with out threats and hate…doubt you can do it. I think that people have to be serious to get their message out I have yet to see anyone I consider serious getting the message out, anyone that would be heard, and that is sad. I think everyone needs to work on that and then we will see I good President in office. One more thing, people need to get out there and work (if you are able), stop having ten kids and for Christ sake quit putting your hand out! The WORLD was here first, and it owes you NOTHING!
…Done (for now)

(back to Oscars and trying not to rant)
Stars that I like are Renee Zelweiger, but last night I really had to wonder if she is just completely pro-Hollywood and did not want to be there or Very Hollywood, She was just acting way to swanky and or she could have just been nervous as heck. I liked that Millon dollar baby got a lot of awards, because I would not want to see it at all other wise (so I guess I will see it now).
It is all just silly and for show I know but it is cool seeing a bunch of star gathered in one building.

Those who know me well know that I was a smoker for many years, I have been smoke free for around five years now. This is the worst habit I have ever had, and to this day there times I would love one but I also would like to live… I am weird that way.

Anyhow I should say that I am not one of those goody goody that lectures people that they should not smoke or say "do you mind blowing that smoke in someone else face."
That is why I fret here today... I work in a building that has probably 80% smokers in it and that is not the problem, the problem is that they smoke in front of each entrance like not one or two but five or six people at a time. I have to hold my breath each time I walk by... I am not sure what to do other then this. Second hand smoke shows up in lab test as smoking one cigarette ... I imagine that it really dose not matter that I quit five years ago now.... I do not want cancer ... who dose. And do not tell me we are all going to die anyway... that is bull crap! Well not really but I do not want to help death...geesh! lol

So that is my vent. I feel like once I enter the office I am stuck here.

Cute baby monkey :)

I met Diva(lets call her that) in fifth grade. She had long straight hair and was pretty shy. Then the next year she bleached it , then the next the clothes were pretty trashy and here hair was permed. Ok this girl turned into a ho! Well long story short I ran into her about a year ago and she seemed normal, she was there with her husband and step-son shopping. Well she has not changed in fact she is worse! She called me and gave me her website adress and it is bad! She puts about ten pictures a day of herself in sexy model poses (clothed...geesh get your head out of the gutter!) She is a stripper (only when she wants spending money), she is currently cheating on her husband via the internet while he works (she dose this in their new home she had to have). Now she wants to talk to me and left me one message then the very next day another call and message (she sounded pissed that I did not call her). I CAN NOT CALL NO HO! lol she really scares me and I can not talk to her! Ok that is all for now.

Chilean Judge Charges Pinochet in Rights Case

SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) - A Chilean judge on Monday formally charged former dictator Augusto Pinochet with homicide and kidnapping in one of many pending cases related to human rights abuses committed during his 17-year rule.
"General Pinochet was declared mentally fit to stand trial in Chile," Special Judge Juan Guzman told reporters. Pinochet's defense had tried to argue he was not mentally competent to face the charges.
Pinochet, who resides in a Santiago mansion and recently turned 89, could be placed under house arrest after formal notification of the charges, which usually takes a day.
Pinochet's attorneys plan to appeal Guzman's decision. In an earlier human rights case, his defense lawyers successfully kept him from being tried when the Supreme Court ruled that his mild dementia made him mentally incompetent.
The homicide and kidnapping charges filed on Monday relate to nine disappearances and one death that occurred in the 1970s as part of Operation Condor, an intelligence-sharing network of South American dictators who helped each other hunt down dissidents.

This man is evil!!! Why did it take this long the man has lived a great life all this time! What is wrong with them! I remember songs in the late 1980's by Sting singing about this awful thing(not a man or human). Err ! Well better late then never :)

Why?

2004-12-02T14:51:00.000-07:00

Why?

Martini for $10,000

The Algonquin Hotel in New York City offered a new ultimately expensive drink called Martini on the Rock. A glass of this drink costs as much as $10,000. The price might sound shocking for people who usually order Martini, as this price might exceed any possible expectation of both conventional vermouth adorer and even the most exigent dandy preferring posh lifestyles. The reason for this price is in the manner the drink is served. The Martini is served with a diamond.

Anthony Melchiorri, the hotel’s general manager, said nobody risked to purchase the drink yet. However, it evoked considerable interest among the visitors. According to Melchiorri, there’s a risk the ring to be swallowed though. Then why did you put it in there???? I offen wonder why I do not have a gem stone floating in my drink......why stop there? Can I have a side of soup with the hundren dollar bill in it...yea the one that cost 5,000...yes, I will have that...ummhumm

Martini on the Rock is probably to beat another record, apart from its surprisingly high price. This is the time of the order to be made. If you decide to order one all of a sudden, you will be asked to wait for three days, so that all the necessary preparations could be made. WHY!!!!!! You pour it into a glass and toss a ring in it....... as dumb as that is why is that hard to do. Oh.. they want you to be thirsty maybe and save up.

And this is not all. The price for the drink may change depending on the size of the diamond in it. Why is a 10,000 then....

Jeepers YOU ARE LOUD!!!!

My Spin on the "New" He is not so into you book

2004-10-27T14:00:00.000-06:00

If you have not heard about the book it is a "new" way for woman to think about their relationships!
Bull Bull bull! Woman use your head!!!!!!!!! Geeesh! ( mind you I am not an expert but I know that some of you are not thinking at all)
Ok yes I know you want to be with your MAN and he is just so cool and you like to go to the "club" and get your drink on.... Wake up!
I am so tired of woman complaining out people that they should know...their men! Here are my "he/or she is not so into you" signs (I really have gotten the best ones from my wedding boards sadly and I can not vent there.)

He is not so into you if.....

> Your fiancée of one and half years invites his pregnant ex to your wedding.

> You notice that the lipstick in his back seat is not yours.

> After the first meeting and date with him you sleep with him.... (Men think you are a tramp!!!! *Sorry side note... Women what the hell are you thinking hmmm!?! You are trash! If you sleep with a total stranger after they buy you dinner and a movie!)

>You try to stop by their house and they are not home but their sister is (you are dating an only child)

> When the apartment that he shares with his female roommate only has one bedroom.

> (This one shocks me to no end) After he cheats on you several times, tells you that He is not into you and you still stay and wonder why he so mean....whaaaa! If this is you and you have children involved... you are an awful person!

> When he says he is really sorry for (example:) Kissing, hugging (not as a friend), and humm! With that girl...and it was because he was drunk! I do not buy this for a second!

...I think if I go any further is will sound like I have gone off the deep end so I will stop.

Key things to remember:

* Be happy

* Be yourself

* You are a complete person alone! You do not need someone to make you complete! *

Set up your "deal breakers" and follow them.

(Thought... I wish my sister was reading this)

Second thought: If anyone is interested in a tall blonde who is currently single (I will actually have work on that ... where is a good place to hide a body) :)

HEEH VENT DONE

Prank Phone Calls Traced to ChimpanzeeSTIRLING, SCOTLAND — A series of nuisance phone calls to the staff of Blair Drummond Safari Park in the wee hours of the night were made by a chimpanzee, park employees say. Eleven-year-old Chippy stole a keeper's cell phone and hid it in his cage, waiting until after dark to ring up various numbers stored in its memory. The phone's owner says he dreads receiving this month's bill. [Sky News]

I am changing my vote.. why?

2004-10-11T15:10:00.000-06:00

This is the first place I am posting this. It is pretty silly since no one reads this, but it is something I have to get out at the moment. Without outing who I was going to vote ... I changed my mind. I am going to go the complete other direction this year! I have pretty much (as an adult) always voted one way and now I am going the other and I feel very good about it. I now have to avoid my parents questions and not get too much into their chats about it... they have bumper stickers and a sign in their yard and another one on its side in the driveway, not too sure they need two signs in their yard. I think you just have to go with what is right or better yet what feels right. I like this saying I heard the other day and I feel it fits well with my believe in life as a whole.. "I side on the side that dose not hate" Now when you hear that it makes you think oh "Liberals" oh tree huggers.... no think about that one for a moment and think are you really on the side that dose not hate? Do you scream PEACE but treaten to hurt someone or offend someone if they do not believe in the samething as you? Do you yell "What gives you the right to take my rights!!!! and then you do not bother to sit dont at the discussion tables? Lot to think about in this day and age. I am a mother and I feel my plate is a bit heavy with worry over the future of this country... I am going to vote for the person who I feel is thinking and planning and not jumping into situations. It is scary and who knows what will happens but at least I will vote for the right thing.

My bossed yelled!

2004-09-15T06:01:00.000-06:00

That is right yeserday out of the blue ... my bossed yelled at me and it was not fun. History: I am still a N00b at my job, that I love btw. I think my boss hates her job or puts more in then she should so yesterday her boss made her mad so she huffed over and (....oh by the way this a boring vent... you do not have to read any further...ok where was I ) yelped at me. When she walked off I cried...err! So anyway long story even longer she is going to train me on some things today so that when she "quits" I will know what to do.

thats it!

I really hope today is better. My husband thinks it will be.... I will hope so.

P.S. I get to pick up my copy of Sim2 today.... HAPPY!!

Dog shot his owner!

Puppy pulls trigger on owner ready to kill him

Police say this puppy shot a man who was trying to kill it, after the man had shot and killed three of its litter mates. (WEAR-TV)
By ABCNEWS.comSeptember 9, 2004 (PENSACOLA, Fla.) — A puppy facing death along with the rest of his litter took matters into his own paws, police said.

Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, of Pensacola, allegedly had decided to kill seven puppies he had because he could not get rid of them any other way, Escambia County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Ted Roy said.
"He said that he could not give them away. He tried to give them away and he was unsuccessful so that was the alternative he used," Roy said.
Bradford allegedly shot and killed three of the puppies — 3-month-old shepherd-mixes, but when he tried to finish off the rest they wouldn't sit still for him.
The man told authorities he was holding one dog in his left hand and one dog in his right hand, but he couldn't control them, Roy said.
When the puppy in his left hand began to wriggle free, it put its paw on the gun's trigger, causing it to fire and the bullet hit the man in the wrist, Roy said.
When Bradford went to a hospital emergency room to get treatment, a doctor called authorities about the gunshot wound, the sheriff's department said.
The three puppies Bradford allegedly shot were found in a shallow grave with bullet wounds in their heads, Roy said.
The remaining four puppies and their mother are safe now at the Escambia County Animal Shelter.
"They're doing great," said Bruce Rova, a spokesman for the shelter. "The puppies are in good health. They're friendly."
Bradford is facing felony animal cruelty charges, Roy said.
"He was not arrested due to the fact he had that gunshot wound to the arm and the warrant will become active and he'll have to go to court and plead his case," Roy said.
Rova said he doesn't understand why anyone would think they had to shoot a dog just because they could not find a home for it.
"If it's someone you need to take care of that animal and take responsibility off of them as a burden we're definitely here," Rova said.
As for the future of the dogs, the mother may be returned to the Bradfords, but the puppies will be put up for adoption, authorities said.

..next vent!

Husband outing geek girl... sniffle!

Ok now for the some funny news:

South Carolina police are looking for a man who chose a unique weapon to hold up a bank: a rusty pitchfork.
Police say the robber, who wore a mask and sunglasses, entered Security Federal Bank on Sept. 7 and used a 4-foot-long pitchfork to threaten employees and take an undisclosed amount of money.
He dropped the pitchfork when he ran through a wooded area to a golf course behind the bank.
No customers were in the bank at the time of the holdup, and no one was injured.
Police said bloodhounds tracked the suspect to a parking lot at a fast-food restaurant. There, according to authorities, the man got into a white van driven by a woman and got away.

I am not a "DANCER!"

2004-09-09T10:30:00.000-06:00

Ok if any of you ladies play SWG and are serious and enjoy the game you know what I am about to talk about.
Dancers: Some are serious and actually have a clue what the profession in the game is all about. It is to heal and also to add more social element to your character.
The cantina is where most of the people choose to go since this is an easy place to get heals and buffs. These are important for All players that do any type of fighting, scouting and hunting or anything that involves getting tired and your butt kicked.
So here is my issue (I am sure you know what it is) there are way Way too many people (not going to name names or servers) that are just down right trashy! I go into the cantina and there are two three of the dancers wearing the Twi'lek flesh wraps (with btw I think are gross and trashy looking but not as bad looking on a Twi'lek). They are dancing like strippers and do not tell me this is why you play the game! If it is then I am boggled! So another words I chose not to wear these types of clothes and a very nice girl ( a married one too) SO the issue is .... where can I go to build up on my dance skill? These trampy woman are cramping my style! Heh I know for an outsider this sounds so odd. So that was my vent.... for now. I will have more letter...count on it.

Well to start off...

Did you ever have a day where you were not on the computer in one way or another? I am always on in one way or another and I am hoplessly addicted to Star Wars Galaxies at the moment. I think that I realized this when my family (husband and daughter) talk about how we are going to buy this or that ... and how many credits dose this or that cost. Oh no no we never talk to this or that person. My most recent talk was with the daughter about clothes that her person plays... lets just say there was not much there. I watch her 24/7 and she is never alone on the site... lets get that out right away. So anyway I had to tell her a little bit about the other people she may be talking to... she was shock, she thought only serious people are online playing games.... such is life!

So I am addicted and I have a schudule for us so we do not completly ignore one another. In fact I am the one that is ignored at the moment...lol I think that between SWG and Now World of War Craft I see my husband all of 30-45 min each night..
