Time for a change...

randomness

Lets see here, I look like Stevie Wonder at work today, I've had a migraine for 3 days now.

YUCK!

The front yard is just about perfect. This weekend with some digging and weeding will make it so very beautiful!

I will get before and after pictures up- promise! :)

HMMMMMMMMMMMM

we had a tornado warning yesterday, I was like what? we didn't move to Oklahoma.

Otherwise things are okay. I get a little lonely every now and again, but seem to find something to do.

Fishstick is wonderful, at least to me if not to the world.

We have some family comin up soon- love that!

there was a request

for boobies
LOL

Just call me Bob Villa! :)

I re did the kitchen floor this weekend and I am like super proud of myself!

Before!

After:

For Lecram

Carole King

You've Got A Friend

When you're down and troubled

and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me

and soon I will be there

to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,

and you know wherever I am I'll come running,

oh yeah baby

to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall,

all you have to do is call and I'll be there,

yeah, yeah, yeah.You've got a friend.

If the sky above you

should turn dark and full of clouds

and that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud and soon

I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am I'll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall

all you got to do is call

and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?

People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you.

Well they'll take your soul if you let them.

Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again. Oh babe, don't you know that,

Winter spring summer or fall,Hey now, all you've got to do is call.

Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.

You've got a friend. You've got a friend.

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.

You've got a friend.

Love you lots honey

Da Count- life

Good, bad, busy, trying

Happy, sad, frustrating, satisfying

Loving, loved, hugged, kissed



Things are so often taken for granted

Life and love should never be on that list

Loving with the whole heart

Wanting with the whole soul

Listening with strong conviction



People, places, things

full of love, full of smiles

Love fully, love often, love hard.

A few pictures from our anniversary

Super Yummy Dinner




YAY!

My beautiful pink sapphire ring Joel gave me for our anniversary!

It was a wonderful day!

Who remembers this.....

It's been just about a year....

HOLY COW!

The trip home.....

was mixed for me. It was nice seeing people and the town, but sometimes (more often than not) my family dynamic is so off it just frustrates me. I honestly thought 5 months gone from certain people would have been long enough to at least warrant a hug or a hi, guess not.

I wish and hope that some of the relationships I keep will change, I attempt to change them, attempt to accept them but neither seems to happen. Maybe these relationships are so set in a screwed up way that change is impossible for them, maybe this is how they are to be, I am not sure. I do know however that I cannot and will not keep up always being the "trying" one. The one that makes the effort, the phone calls, tries with the hugs. I just don't have it in me to do so anymore.

I am having iron problems again, in tandem with girlie problems and really needed my family to talk to, bounce things off of and just be with. Most of the family was there to talk, listen, try to understand. The one person I needed wasn't. She always pulls away. I am always the one to over react, it's hard. She's the one person I need to tell me it's going to be okay, give me a hug and a kiss and let me know she's there- and it NEVER happens.

It's going to be quite a long time before I come back to visit. I'm okay with that now.


I'll get pictures up here soon.

Um

I think she's trying to kill me.....

LOL

life, in general

is pretty good.
Spring is trying to come to the INW (inland Northwest) like nothing I've ever seen. But, winter keeps attempting to disrupt the beauty that is Spring.

Cisco is great- adapting really well to his new home, and lovin the backyard!

The house is slowly coming along, although we have had a few major hiccups in the past few weeks. 2 water pipes exploded and the washing machine broke. YAY! Sometimes I think renting really is the way to go. LOL

The job is wonderful, and Fishstick seems to be loving his new line of employment. That man never ceases to amaze me, he thrives and rocks any and every challenge that he comes in contact with. Man I love him.

We just ordered the MLB package on Comcast so we can see the Giants play some baseball!

For our one year anniversary we will be trekking across the state to see the Giants battle the Mariners over Memorial Day Weekend! I can't wait.

The yard is slowly starting to take shape, and flowers are blooming. I love color, and I love not having everything look so darn barren. It's beautiful!

I travel home in 21 days to see family and attend a wedding, and I am so excited for my trip! It's been 4 months- almost 5 since I have seen my family and man O man do I miss them. It's going to be really weird not seeing Joel for 4 days, but a good healthy dose of family is what I have been needing as of late.

We've got Cisco Fever!

oh Yeah!

Things

I hate my body right now.
I love having someone to love.
I wish I could control certain things.
I'm kinda down right now, but I am not going to stay down.
Coffee good.
I have never been more ready for spring.
I can't wait to get back into school.
I will be an MD some day :)
It blows me away how rude some people are.
It's going to be a music filled Sunday!

I am so sick

of hearing pregnant women attribute EVERYTHING to being pregnant. I don't want to hear about your pregnancy. I don't care that you are pregnant. Please keep it all to yourself.

Thanks

I made some NOM NOM's :)

and here are pics!

Recipe later :)

Well it turns out

That my Freddy, The Super Fredtastick is a girl.
Oh yeah.
Shit!

I think Freddy has a caffeine problem...

Da Count

I'm missing my social life I had, but I know another will develop. So this Count is going to be short and sweet. To building a new social life, and life in general in a beautiful new area. I do miss you all and hope to see everyone soon.... ( wink, wink, wink I have a trip home scheduled in May)

Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Hope it's great!

I made 4 dozen of these and heard that they were awesome! :)

Oh Dear God.....

Sometimes I can't believe people are like this!

"Lone Grove firefighters methodically searched each damaged or destroyed structure, spray-painting a large "X" on homes after inspection. Residents were then allowed to check for belongings.

Authorities gave as much as 35 minutes of warning that a twister was approaching.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning at 6:50 p.m., meaning a twister was imminent and residents should take shelter. Another warning was issued at 7:15 p.m. when the actual tornado was spotted. It hit Lone Grove at 7:25 p.m.

"A lot of people just didn't leave," Carter County Sheriff Ken Grace said. "

is it sad that a tornado wiped a town out, yes
should these people look to live where tornados don't roll through town, yes
is 35 minutes more than enough time to remove your ass from where the tornado is going to hit- DUH!

and all I can do is shake my head!
