Happy New Year! Well, 2006 is about here!!! 2005 was a great year, filled with love of friends and members of the opposite sex, a great year wth work, new additions to my fam, and 3 of my best friends in the world honoring me by asking me to be bridesmaids in their wedding. I couldn't have felt more special or lucky. I have also been blessed in that these 3 friends and a few more have found their true loves, and that make me so incredibly happy! They so deserve it-and more! It warms me so to see all og my friends happy. It does the same thing to see my family so blessed and happy, too.
I have a feeling 2006 is going to be an AWESOME year! I hope that 2006 brings peace to the world, love, happiness, and anything else your hearts desire.
In keeping with tradition, I've made my New Year's resolutions. They are ...
1. Be the best Christian I can be, get back into church
2. Stay in touch with my friends and family better, especially my friends back home
3. Get back into shape, get a routine that includes going to the gym
4. Be better organized
I hope that I can stay true to these, especially 1 and 2. I know I am going to try my hardest!

Have fun and be safe this New Year's Eve!!!

Here's to the great memories of 2005, and to the AWESOME ones that await us in 2006! :)  ¶ Saturday, December 31, 2005 1 comments

  Dating... ARGH!!!! Can I just say that I hate dating sometimes? I just want "the one" to fall into my lap sometimes LOL I know that can't happen, but a romantic like me can wish can't she? LOL I hate all the games, wondering, etc. that goes along with dating, ya know? Okay, here is the latest of the soap opera called my life...
Well I have been doing the whole online dating thing for a while, a few working out and others not so much...well the last week I have been chatting with a guy through email and messenger. Last night we actually talked on the phone forever, and made plans for tomorrow afternoon. We have alot in common(even the fact that we haven't ever met our real dad's), and he seems super sweet and nice. Kinda excited...
THEN there is this other guy who has been calling, and I keep brushing him off b/c of what he wants to do...he wants to do group stuff which is fine except I don't want to meet him for the first time in front of his friends ya know? Nor do I want to go to his house for the first meeting. I want to meet for coffee or dinner, just us. Weird? I hate the idea of dating these people at the same time, kinda. I know I gotta meet them both and all, but ...
THEN STILL there is a 3rd guy LOL. Over a month ago we met up for some drinks. Things went pretty well. Didn't hear from him much afterwards, though...he did send a text message at like 9 on a friday night asking what I was up to that night. I was out of town but I was like "he is a BOOTY CALL!". LOL Well, I hadn't heard from him in a while until right before I left town for the holidays. He hinted around and finally asked me to do something for new years. He also let on like we'd keep in touch. Which didn't happen, nor did I figure it would. Well, wouldn't ya know he messages me tonight seeing if I wanted to hang out(at his house no less). I said no. Am i being too mean or what?
Rest assured that when Mr. Right/Wonderful comes along, you will know and the stars will align...lol J/K (about the stars aligning that is he he)
I just needed to vent for a few about the soap opera called my life....he he  ¶ Friday, December 30, 2005 0 comments

  I'm back!!! Yes, you read correctly...I am back in the peach state as of about 9pm last night he he. I miss my nephews, parents, and my sister E, though...but it is nice to be back in my own bed and not have my stuff in someone's way back at my parent's house. Luckily E didn't have me in her way this trip he he. I think it kinda bothered my daddy that I was leaving early, but I explained my reasons to him, and he seemed to understand. I hope so. I hope that he and E understand that my being down here has no reflection on my feelings towards my family or anything else, other than the fact the job market is better down here. I mean, I like it down here, but I DO miss the fam. I like living where I am too. Anyway, I think ususally the big reason I leave early or don't stay that long is the whole space thing, along with the fact I usually bring work home (even during the holidys!). This trip, as mentioned before, I got a vaccuum, and I was excited to get back and use it he he. Weird kinda but oh well.
Ok, gotta throw the soap opera stuff in here since I haven't yet...this usually is stuff dealing with my love life he he. Well, Ch is pretty much outta the picture as of the other day. When all the stuff happened with my uncle, I called him. I just wanted to talk to him...he along with CP and my friend D can make me feel better and cheer me up. Well, I had thought that we might be on track to get back together, too....Anyway, he after 10 minutes of talking, tried to get me off the phone b/c his best friend back home had called. Kinda hurt my feelings, right...then his phone cut out and he left his house to drive a couple blocks so he could get better reception (VERY sweet). Well he told me he was trying to be there for me, yet he had his own stuff going on too. He said, "You know I love you honey...I'll call you in the morning and we can talk more...." Well he did and we talked, and for the 2nd time he mentioned we needed to get together once back in the peach state (I'm a little hurt but okay at this point). And do you know that I didn't hear from him again for like 4 days? And then it was b/c I called after the funeral. I think the guy that is right for me would have been there better for me. Despite the fact that we broke up, we did it only b/c he was moving, not b/c we didn't care about each other. We have remained friends, too.
Maybe it's just me, but friends call and check on each other. Now, I know some people are like "I'm here for you, just call me..." b/c they don't want to feel like they are bothering you with everything that's going on around you. I dunno...I had felt really lonely and kinda short on true friends during this whole thing..except for CP. CP is my true friend, and I appreciate it so much! She checked on me, let me know she was there. D did too kinda, and so did my best guy friend C. I guess I expect alot...if it were my friend going through a loss, I would check on them daily, be it a text message or email...that way you don't so much bother, but let that person know you're thinking of them. I guess it may just be me *shrug of shoulders here*
Anyway, that's about all I got to blog about right now...I think I'll go eat breakfast and run some errands, return some phone calls. Have a great day! :)  ¶ Friday, December 30, 2005 0 comments

My sister E got me an Express gift card :) and my other sis and her beau got me some bath stuff which I love! I also bought me some pants at Old Navy with money from my Grandpa. Okay, I REALLY am done now LOL  ¶ Sunday, December 25, 2005 2 comments

  Merry Christmas To All! Merry Christmas! I hope that everyone has had an awesome Christmas-I know that I have! Last night was Christmas Eve with my Mom's side of the fam at my grandparent's house...it was kinda weird because my aunt and cousins weren't there this year, but good nonetheless. My sisters and I had the best time on the couch taking pics of us being retarded LOL (think blowing kisses, doing the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil poses...) I also got my pic made with Dad and it was great. I admire him IMMENSELY. It was cool to see my mom's face as she watched her girls giggling and stuff. This morning we got up, opened presents, and then I got baptized in the bathtub by my Daddy. It was a very special moment for me, and something I had felt I needed to do for a while. It meant sooo much to him, as it did his dad getting to be there (he stayed with us last night). We then hurried and went to church, to be followed by going to my mom's parents again for a GREAT dinner. My cousin and his family was there, and they have a little boy a month younger than B., my nephew. Well, they are HILARIOUS to watch playing together. This afternoon they were yelling and acting they were chasing each other, with just my Dad's leg between them he he.
I have heard from a lot of my friends, and that makes me feel very loved :) I am INCREDIBLY lucky to have the friends I have!!!
Okay, well I think that I going to read a bit before my Sunday night shows...xtreme makeover home edition, desperate housewives, and greys anatomy.
God bless and Merry Christmas!  ¶ Sunday, December 25, 2005 2 comments

  Nostalgia hit me! Well, before the whirlwind of events this afternoon, I set out on a mission to walk and get some exercise this morning (I have been saying I would do this for how many days? LOL I shudder to think....) Anyway, I ended up back on the campus of the univeristy of which I am an alumnus. Anyway, being back on campus and seeing everything, made me sooo nostalgic for the college years that seem so far away, yet they're not. I miss meeting up with my sorority sisters on the south patio, eating and socializing in the cafe or swoops, I miss socializing more than studying at the library, miss the dorms and running over to see Sandy or April and Renee, I miss going to the chapter room, going to the TKE or KA house (take me to ______'s house! LOL) . Oh, driving by the TKE and KA house brought back SOOO many memories...about half of my social life in college revolved around these two houses that are side by side...the waterfight at the KA house, along with that one night Sandy and I stayed there until like 6 in the morning being retarded (think dancing and lip syncing, climbing on top of the coke maching on the patio he he). And of course, the parties. CAN'T forget all those...soo many memories. Back then, there were no rent payments, loans to pay back, cars to pay for, health and life insurance to get for yourself...no responsibilities except for school and work here and there. I saw Spankies and Vinnie's too...MANY a good time had there :)...*sigh* I could go on for HOURS...sadly if you know me well enough you are thinking to yourself right now "she's telling the truth..." LOL
I love my job , new home, new friends in the good ol' peach state, but nostalgia did hit me today...  ¶ Saturday, December 24, 2005 2 comments

  Askin for your prayers... Well, as of around 12:45 or so today, my dad lost his younger brother. Please pray for my Dad, my grandpa, my other uncle(dad's older brother), and the rest of the family during this difficult time, especiallywith it being 2 days before Christmas. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and prayers...  ¶ Friday, December 23, 2005 3 comments

  AGH! Tagged! LOL Okay, So Big Pissy has tagged me and I have to list 5 weird things that I do...
1. I drive up close to the steering wheel to see better he he
2. I eat bologna and crackers (yuck to some, good to me)
3. I sing along to songs even if I don't know the words
4. Thanks to some BAD autobody work from an unmentioned car dealership, I once had a clothes hanger holding my taillight to my car
5. I don't let my gas gauge get below 1/4 tank (usually)
So there are 5 things that are weird about myself....hopefully not too weird, though.  ¶ Wednesday, December 21, 2005 2 comments

  You know it's love when...













Your 2 month old nephew shoots a geyser as you change him, and all you can do is laugh hysterically LOL  ¶ Wednesday, December 21, 2005 1 comments

  Celeb gossip...gotta love it! Ok, so the newsest rumor is that the lovely "hollaback girl" is about to be a mommy. Yep, you heard it right. According to US weekly and the AJC, Gwenn Stefani is preggers. Kinda weird, huh? She is in her prime...but hey family is sooooo much more important, so I can understand that and give her props. I think this may kinda overshadow the whole Nick/Jessica divorce saga. Maybe. A little bit (a day?! he he) I am waiting for all this crazy gossip about her (Jessica) being preggers with Adam Levine's child. It's already been said once that I know of that she is dating him (lead singer for maroon5). I think with the fact that she got a divorce and is putting some weight on, and their (her's and Nick's) whole family/adoption saga within itself, those rumors will start circulating fast. Heck, maybe Jenn and Vince will be next! LOL. BigPissy and City Penguin, what have you heard? Any thoughts? It's a travesty, I know, but I didn't get my People magazine this past Friday!!! *gasp!* LOL More soon...
p.s. preggers comes from my fave radio dj...sounds kinda weird now that I read it LOL  ¶ Tuesday, December 20, 2005 1 comments

  Newbie :) Okay, so this is my first blog on here (I currently have one on myspace as well). I had been thinking about doing a blog for a while, and finally decided to sit down and do it during Christmas break. My sister, along with my best friend and her Mom, help give me that final push. I started a blog on myspace, and moved to here so the aforementioned best bud, her sister, and her Mom could comment ( it's not easy to comment on myspace without an account.)
I am currently at home with the fam, and crying nephews he he. One is spoiled and has to be held or he is constantly eating, while the other is just plain cranky for some reason this morning. On a brighter note, my mom got a used white Ford Explorer yesterday! She and my Dad are SO excited! This is a definite step up for them, and I couldn't be happier!. Mom and Dad deserve it SO SO SO much. My mom is so selfless and my Dad works his butt off (he shouldbe a freakin millionare with the way he works, I swear!) I told Mom she could drive us around in it today he he. Another good note is that I awoke to internet this morning. YEA! We were without yesterday and it wasn't fun. I got alot of reading done,though, and ran some errands. One that I didn't get accomplished was walking my 2 miles...ooops he he. Maybe today LOL Okay, I am off to the showers...  ¶ Tuesday, December 20, 2005 1 comments
