Long Time eh?

2007-06-01T15:48:00.000-04:00

Tre Toes

Well it's been since NOVEMEBER since i have blogged anything. lol it's for good reason though!
In my line of business (lawn care) the winter is kinda slow and there are two secretaries here - so needless to say; we don't need to two freaking people here during the winter, so i was laid off this year for the winter (from oct - march) it was a crazy long time, i thought i was gonna go crazy for not having anything to do during the day. everyone works during the day and the only friend i have that doesn't is all the way on the other side of the city. lol too merch of a drive to go to her house and do the same damn thing i was doing at my house! LOL
so the whole time i was laid off, without internet at home and i was pregnant. basically i was laid off during the entire 2nd trimester of my pregnancy and a lil bit of the 3rd. i came back to work and the other secretary freaking QUIT and she was only giving a 2 day notice... WHAT UP WITH THAT!?!?!? but anyway so i was stuck here by myself and definitly didn't have time to play online or blog or anything like that. when i finally got some help in here i was busy training her so that i could take my maternity leave without having ALOT of trouble here in the office. so i got put on bed rest only 2 weeks into training my new partner in crime. we were all freaking out but beth did an AWESOME job for only having 2 weeks training. shoot even if she had a whole months training the job she did while i was gone was great!

so now my lil punkin butt is 5 and a half weeks and next week starts his 6th week of life... *SIGH* he starts daycare and i come back to work full time... *deep breath* lol i don't know if i'm gonna be ok with this.

the day care is really only a couple of feet away from my work, i could throw a rock and hit it. but it's just the fact that im not gonna be with my child all day and be able to play with him or teach him things. im JEALOUS of the time that the OTHER people get with him. :( lol isn't that terrible?

well i just wanted to post something for the sake of posting, i doubt anyone even reads this thing anymore. but whatever, it'll be a nice outlet to post stuff about mommyhood i guess. :) it's a whole new experience and im sure i'll have issues here and there.

Marks 10 Year High School Reunion

2006-11-15T11:36:00.000-05:00

2006-10-24T10:56:00.000-04:00

This is my baby, his name is bizkit because i use to call mark "love biscuit" & "love muffin" so i wanted his name to reflect MARK somehow so it was either gonna be muffin or biscuit... i went with the latter. ;)
my baby is an attention hound! you can NOT walk into the house with out him MEOWing at you. it doesn't stop! he will continue "talking" till he gets the attention that he sought after... crazy cat! His birthday was this month- he will be 7 years old, he was only 6 months when i first brought him home. Back then (1999) i was living with Robyn and Leslie in our "bachelorette pad" but some how all the guys ended up living there to... lol Sean, Mark and Anthony... it was good times in this apartment, even though it was a SHIT hole! everything that could be wrong with that place WAS, it was surpreme ghetto, but it was our 1st place on our OWN, so we loved it. (for a little bit, anyway) hee hee
So us three girls decided it'd be ok to get a cat cause you can hide them pretty well in an apartment. Not becuase they wasn't allowed but because who wants to pay extra for a freaking cat! lol that cat doesn't have a job and can't pay rent so why pay extra when yu can get away with FREE. hee hee So me and robyn go to the human society "just to look around" ha ha YEAH right... of course as soon as i walked into the kitty area i looked to my left and noticed the most beautiful blue eyes in the world! Against her DARK chocolate brown fur her eyes were as bright as the BLUE SKY! she was SOO pretty - i wanted her! BAD! She was long hair and i can't remember her name but i look up and she is already being adopted :( DAMN! but then i noticed another set of prettyful blue eyes in the same kennel and his name is patches, he has more of a white & grey look to him and i open the cage to see if i could hold him and damned if he didn't jump in to my arms. he was head bunting me and rubbin his face on mine like he instantly fell in love with me, like i did him! i told robyn this was it. he was the one i wanted! he was and still is a sweetie... Awww, i can't wait to go home and LOVE on him now! hee hee ;) so since i didn't get a chance to blog ON his bday i wanted to do it in the same month at LEAST! lol and yes that is a cat with a bib on... HA HA HA

i look like WHO?

2006-10-13T08:10:00.000-04:00

i did this once before but i don't think i remember posting it on my blog... i think i just put it on myspace or something... but robyn did one and thought it was funny that she looks like brittney spears... i think it's even funnier that i look like her sister - so there ya go.. me and robyn are brittney and jamie lynn! ha ha ha

2006-10-04T10:12:00.001-04:00

2006-08-28T14:23:00.000-04:00

happy birthday to me.. um friday! lol this pic is saturday night.. my mommy got me this prettyful shirt! luvs it anywho all i wanted to do for my birthday was go out dancing and well i didn't get to do that but i got to hang out with friends, family and eat good food! lol friday the guys had to work saturday morning at like 4 so i told them i would go to the fair instead of going out to a club but they had to take us out dancing saturday night... well they got the chance to work sunday too so NO DANCING on saturday night either.. instead we went to a place downtown called malillo and ate good italian food and played bocce. we had a good time, it was pretty funny that josh and deena didn't eat but still spent twice the amount me and mark did, lol they had two bottles of wine which josh threw up at least half a bottle out the window of his truck on the way home! LMAO that was the funniest shit ever. we past the state fair on the way home and mark and deena were talkin about the super loop and then they started talkin about gettin sick on the ride and how awful that would be, mark started sayin they should call it the pukey loop and all these other blechy names - well i look in the mirror at josh and he is pretty much gaggin and lookin like he isn't gonna make it. lol next thing i know his head is out the window and there is a strong wine aroma in the truck... BLEH!!!! that was pretty freaking gross... hee hee sunday my dad gave me his macy's credit card to go get about "50 or 60 worth of nice clothes" so i spent 54 go 4 shirts and two pair of capris... not to bad if i do say so mysefl! HA~ well that was my weekend... birthday blah! ;)

my sexy bitch of a friend lol :)

thanks alot ROBYN

2006-08-17T08:57:00.000-04:00

K, I got tagged by ROBYN to do this about my schools...

How many schools did you go to?Ummm, 3 elementary schools one being a catholic school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 college

Teachers nightmare or teachers?
I was a teachers pet for sure! i always did good in school but my 10th grade year in high school i was a nightmare for my chem teacher cause it was after lunch so i was all nice an hyper and didn't understand any of what she was talkin about so i just socialized the entire time with my lil group of people. needless to say i FAILED that class... lol that was the first and only class that i had EVER actually failed.

Did you have a label in school? (nerd, jock,etc) im not sure if i did have a label. i was a cheerleader and you know the kind of labels they usually get! lol but i wasn't like that. im not sure... if someone from hs remembers let me know! LOL

Whats the biggest rule you broke in school?
i got suspended from my 8th graduation celebration for me and a group of girls giving another girl that we disliked a package that had all kinds of hygiene stuff in it...basically implying that she smelled like fish. (wasnt my idea)
in hs it was cutting class. also in chem lol i really hated that class. got caught smoking a couple of times in my cheer uniform so that was pretty BAD! lol as my cheer coach use to say "Smoking is not what the 'leaders' of the school should be doing" as a cig hangs out the side of her mouth! lol

Were you in any clubs or organizations? i was in everythign that i could be cheerleading, chorus, tga chorus, student council, peer mediation, journalizam, prom committee, and school newspaper - i think that was it. lol

Did you have any nicknames in school? im sure they called me all kinds of things that i didn't know about. but the ones i do remember were man-man in middle school and in hs it was mark arms' girlfriend... yea that was me! lol and legs - since marks last name was arms. hmm what else - cant member anything else

Three teachers who inspired you?
Mr. Turner from 8th grade was the shit - he made history FUN
Mrs Agabrite from 10th grade was awesome - she help me make sense of algebra... lol apperently i forgot about it later cause i had to drop the same class 3 times in college cause im NUMBER retarded! LOL
Mr Stafford from chorus was the best ever!!! i love that man - gay or not... lol
oh and i can't forget Mr kaneely who was my journalism teacher - he let me know that i was a damn good writer even though i didn't think so and helped me pump up my writing skills.

Would you go back and do it over? sure school was fun for me. as long as i don't have to live with my parents again we'll be straight! LOL

Any major fashion faux paus? Bonus for pics!! HA OF COURSE - i am a child of the 80's so YEAH that was an everyday thing! LOL
"slouch socks" one of each color!
big hair such as the WING
tight rolling jeans
PERMS! AHHHHHHH
jean jackets that we used as a sign in sheet! lol i remember mine had EVERYONEs name that i hung out with and some jeans to match... lol "sign my jacket!"

im not gonna tag anyone (cause no one reads anymore) lol but if you want to share you school memories... go ahead!!! :)

PS - i can not wait till our high school reunion.
marks is gonna be in november i think so i'll get to see some peoples then... mine will be next year sometime so we are planning and starting a committee for that. im sure that i'll be on it and helpin out!!! i hope we have a good turn out.

well thats all for now, got lots to do!

I created a Slide Show! Check it out!

2006-08-08T08:36:00.000-04:00

Back from vacation!

all in all it was an awesome trip... didn't spend that much money (not for lack of tryin but cause we didn't have it) carolina beach is great the waves were huge so it kept mark entertained and the sand was white and actually the water was really blue as we found out in the pics we came back with, while on the beach lookin out we never even noticed the pretty blue out there but while we were scanning the pics each day it was like... "WOW look how BLUE the ocean is, i dont remember that" lol

basically we were gone from weekend to weekend, the first weekend we went to raleigh which is where my best friend and her soon to be ex husband lived. it was pretty much perfect timing for us being there and them seperating cause mark got paid to help the ex drive his car back to louisville while he drove the uhaul with all his crap and hualed a bike on the back. so we got to hang out with them and by the end of the week leslie no longer lived there but in chicago - the day we got in raleigh she got a propsal from a new company offering her a position in surgical sales and all that good stuff. lol she made this decision so quick it blew me away! lol but that's her... gotta luv her! :)

the next week we were in carolina beach to see our friend we pretty much grew up with get married on the beach. it was BEAUTIFUL! :) imma update the pics so they will all be above this post so you'll have to go from top to bottom! LOL i don't know if it'll be today or tomorrow or what but i'll try to get as many pics up as possible. :)

so after vacay you usually come back home feeling all refreshed and ready to take on the work load again. so that's how i was yesterday coming back to work, READY To take on TERRI! lol and my work. i was gettin SUPER burnt out on her and here.... prior to my leaving, my hours here at work got cut to 6 hour days instead of 8 - so that's 10 whole hours missing from my freaking check each week, i was told it was just going to be for the 2 weeks remainin in july, however, when i came back it is still enforced, so im lookin for a new job! i got my resume all fixed up yesterday after work and put it in at humana and YUM brands co. which is where my aunt works. and friend of my dads that i used to work with at providian actually is trying to get me on at humana so hopefully that works out cause hell it'd be nice to have a stable job again. lol i bitched about providian for all they lack but big business is helpful in some areas that small business isn't. plus my good friend anthony is getting on there at humana also so that would be fab to work with him again, we use to have so much fun at providian together. i gotta tell ya, i absolutely LOVE me some anthony! lol out of all marks friends he has always been my fav, even when he was a "bad boy" but he has turned his shit around an became an awesome friend of MINE as well as marks. :)
well better go work since i have 8 hours of work to do in only 6 now... NICE huh?
more pics to come! :)

neato

So how was everyone's weekend / holiday? mine was fab.. it sucked that i had to break it up by having to go to work monday but other than that it was good and im about SICK of fireworks! lol FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS of fireworks is too merch!

josh, deena, me and mark went and bought our own saturday night and set them off in their back yard, OF COURSE we went to indiana to get the "GOOD ones" cause KY sucks butt and you can't set off any that go up in the air... i did find out on the news that you can actually BUY those type of fireworks in ky but you have to sign a permitt of some sort that says your not gonna let off here in the state.. lol like an honor system - IN THIS DAY AND AGE! ha ha ha yeah right!

sunday was a relax, lounge at the pool day. i LOVE that deena and josh have a pool at their house it's sooo FAB on a hott as day such as sunday!!! plus we are over there so much anyway that this just adds to the excitment of going over there. lol mark told josh that he loved him.. but changed it real quick to i just love you for you pool! ha haha they KNOW that's not true! or at least i hope they do.

monday night my parents had their big shin dig - i think that's the most people i have ever seen in one place, you know, for a "small gathering" it was like 50 or 60 people there and mom wasn't even expecting that many! LOL she was pissed... she kept sayin, just shoot me now! my dad and his friend rick spent a poo load of money on fireworks (also from indiana) for a total of $2000.00 WORTH of fireworks!!! it was like "thunder of chambers household" it was awesome me and deena had a good idea to lay a blanket out in the yard to lay on (UGH it was so freakin HOT) i think we were all "melting" but me deena mark hunter and mom were all sittin on the blankey watching to fireworks, the kind that shoot a ball of fire in the air and explode into pretty colors or do the lil cracklin thing, i was takin pics and video of it all and all of us sittin on the blanket..... we all talkin and blabbin all of the sudden i see the one firework shoot a ball of fire off to the left side (where the all the "lighters" were standing) and then explode, shot another ball of fire further to the left (past the lighters) and explode behind them... i look over and the base of the thing had fallen over or knocked its self over and was shootin right at them, the ball of fire was comin closer to us... so i get up and run futher back to get away from it... pushing old people and steppin on KIDS to protect myself! ha haha

when i turn around to look at it again the freakin neighbors on the back side are all LIT up RED, then GREEN! the next ball of fire went RIGHT AT THEIR HOUSE!! to which we hear... "that's about enough of thaaa" BOOOM!!!!! we are all like OOOOOO cause it's more like OMG! rather than ooo how pretty! lol and then the last one that shoots out goes into the bushes that kinda seperate the back yards BOOOOM!!! crackel crackel.... i wish i took video of it, cause it look like a freaking "battle field" lol at the time i was FREAKED out - so much so i didn't have my camera up in the air!!! lol imagine THAT! but after the firework of DOOM was finish blowin up the back yard and the neighbors.... mark went over and talked to them to make sure that everyone was ok - NO BODY else was going over there!!!! no one even made an attempt until mark was half way over there.... the guy thought we were doing it on purpose cause he heard us ooo and ahh and thought we were trying to "brag" about blowin up his house. luckly they were old people and sitting on the screened in porch... enjoyin the "free show" no doubt, but NO ONE WAS HURT over there... the people that were in the yard lighting them however didn't go so luckily..... there was 5 of em out there and 3 of em had burns on their NECKS from the ball exploding and hot pieces flyin everywhere. so after that our "firework" show was over!

tuesday me and deena went to the mall to shop for our "wedding" dresses.... we have a vacation coming up in like 22 days. we are going to north carolina to see her brother tim get married on the beach. i can't wait cause we are using this excuse to go to the beach to take a vacay! WHOO HOOO!! so i spent about 30 bucks which was my limit - so i did good! ;) now all i need are some flip flops and a flower for my hair and im good to go, got a pink skirt that's like the "hippy" ones that are hott right now. cept it's not long all the way around it comes up in the front to show more legg... and it's a one size fits all cause it has a draw string so you can scruntch up the waist... too CUTE! ;) white tank top and deenas mom spent 6 bucks on me and got me some pretty pink jewlery to go with it....how AWESOME was that??? and even by a woman that im not sure liked me all that well! lol while we were shoppin for the dresses, of course i found all kinds of stuff that i could buy cause i couldn't afford it so i just sucked it up and looked for things for deenas SKINNY ass! lol damn it!!!

but yesterday i check the mail and i got a free panty from victoria secretes... ;) love havin an angel card just for the free panties like 6 times a year!!! LUVS IT! so i went BACK to the mall to get my free panty and the worst thing happened prior... i found out i had more money in the bank than i thought so i was able to buy and couple of things that i had found the previous day... cause i need summer clothes BAD! i have gain so much weight that none of my summer clothes fit from last year... lol so i have been buying a pair of shorts or tank a week.. lol so i went into body shop got 2 pair capris, a shirt and a tank for 23 dollars!! YEAH!!! so i felt like i was doing really well! ;) lol YAY for shoppin it's almost like getting your hair done! lol - im BAD!

well i have rambled enough and figure it's prolly time to get some work done terri leaves for vacation tomorrow and i'll be the only one here cause my parents are on vacation till wednesday! AHHHHHHHAHHHHHH

when is it time to just let go?

i am 26 getting ready to 27 - MID twenties... lot's of life changing events happen to ya in your twenties... more than likely it's marriage, buying a house, starting a family, finishing college, starting your "career"..... all of these things and more, but the hardest thing about your 20's is the expectations of the people around you - like family or friends. i think at this time in my life i am a normal 26 year old young wife trying to start a family with my husband and we have a great house and cat and all this nice stuff our life is FAB right? i mean i'd like to think it is... expectations are the DEVIL! lol when people expect something to happen and it doesn't.. they get pissed, PISSED! but what happends when your expectations for something and a friends doesn't MEET?
robyn and i have had this problem for about a year or so... just different expectations of what our friendship should be or what we thought it would be like in our 20's. but we have worked through our differences and still remain friends even though the expectations that we use to have of what we would be like now are gone.

mark has been so wronged by the people he cares about and it continues to happen to him, like he is some nieve child that just keeps opening doors for these ass holes to come in and take a lil bit of the "sweet, caring and sensitive" mark with them when the tear through our lives and leave.
what is it about mark? why can't he have one true friend that wont screw him or try to get over on him???? he is a great guy and and the more things happen to him the more jaded he becomes the more he is "changing" and becoming emotionally hardened - the more my expectations of him are being washed away... for the most part he is still the same ol mark but there is change there and the way he looks at life or sees the world. :( its SAD!
i feel so BAD for him that he has to go through life feeling like there is no one in the world that he can trust or depend on when he needs them there the most they will be GONE just like his confidence in people. period.
its like - the people he puts his faith and confidence in end up taking that for weakness or something....
his two best friends in high school stole money from my dad... like thousands of dollars. mark had gotten them a job with him working for my dad in the summer time and they STOLE from us... and then acted like nothing happend while one was riding around in a brand new camero they had just enough money to put a down payment on... hmm now you tell me how a 17 year old kid that works/steals shoes at finish line can afford a car like that, just out of the blue? and the other one... was the one that mark most identified with, the one that he thought was MOST like him that was his BEST friend went along with this scheme to get "rich" quick. marks heart was broken. his closest buddies fucked him!!! Needless to say that was the end of those relationships. we haven't seen nor talked to them since that happened and the way mark is now - it's prolly better off that way.

next is his own father in law... the one that lured him from his ups job and college to work for his business full time with the prospects of the business becoming his one day. 1.5 years left of college, he has dollar signs in his eyes and does what he thinks is best for his new wife and future family, only to be taken advantage of and broken like a old work mule. marks a hard worker and is loyal to his employer (who ever it may be) and that got taken advantage of - BIG TIME! i don't have to go into detail about the betrayal in this situation - most people that read my blog have read it before so there is no use in "chewing my cabbage twice" but when two bulls bunt heads you can imagine that it wasn't pretty and there i was stuck in the middle - i mean how does one choose between her HUSBAND and DAD! grant it, he isn't my biological father but he has been the only father figure i have had in my life. and just to prove how wonderful my husband is, he was and still is willing to keep a tight lip and bit his tongue, for MY SAKE! because he knows i am a "no drama" type of girl and i just couldn't handle it if i had them hating each other and me be in the middle 24/7.

the last and most recent event... and old friend. been around for at the very least 15 years or so... a friend that knows just about everything about everything because he has been around for so long. the one that mark considered to be the one person he could count on, the one person that had ties with his past and childhood.... now is no more.
though he was a close friend of marks he has "fallin off the earth" a bazillion times only to come back and hang out for a few and the fall off the earth again. lol having him as a friend is like throwing a boomarang.
the last conversation between them about 4 or 5 months ago ended in mark hangin up on him because he is always like... "OH poor pityfull ME" - even though he HAS had a hard life and has always gotten the "short stick" i honestly believe that it's because of the way he handles himself, like he brings it on himself or something i dunno, all i know is drama and stupid stuff such as the following... follow him around!
but as with anything... 10 - 12 years of "oh poor me" or guilt trips because life doesn't shit on us like it does him and all this CRAP - gets old! when mark hung up on him he felt like that was "IT" that was the end of their relationship cause he was tired of trying with him and tired of it all being about HIM....

so he calls mark one day out of the blue last week and decides that 4 or 5 months of not talkin has resolved the issues between them. so mark invites him to come play poker with us at marks the next weekend - he comes and is the only one playing that isn't in our "normal" poker tourny group. so we're playin along and have to take a couple of smoke breaks in between for the smokers that can't smoke in the house (KK's rules) <--- marks mom. during one of the breaks "d" comes up to me and was like you wont believe what he just said to me and she says he told her that he was going to smack her ass... um yea she is a MARRIED woman and has been for 5 years, this isn't something NEW or anything that has changed and he KNOWS that! and the night just went down hill from there. the drama was elevated to new level and stuff got said and it was just a big ol' ordeal!! again, marks heart was broken. :( and a chapter in his life with this person is over. i just don't know what to do, especially if it happends again, he told josh mccollum, (who i just overheard him tell someone the other day that mark was his bestfriend) that if he ever did something to him to just shoot him cause he can't take it again!
i dunno... i guess i just needed to vent a lil on behalf of my luv. :(

plus it's lunch time and i have to cut this off... cause it's prolly all long and stuff by now. lol

leslie came in town for memorial weekend. so i got to see my bitch, (see pic above) it's been a while since i seen her, her parents had a cook out for her and her sister while she was in town so we hung out and ate and drank (they did, not me) and laughed! their parents are great! lol it was really funny when an ant went down her shirt! lol she liked to have flashed everyone with dem tig ol bitties - ha ha ha i love you girl... hope your bday was FAB! mwah!
my graduating class of 97 is going to be having a reunion next year so me and 2 other girls are trying to find everyone we know and get their contact info so we can make plans for a reunion. Our class president just contacted me a couple of days ago and was like, yeah im glad you are interested in doing a reunion, im gonna get all the officers together and start coming up with some plans. he says that he has some ideas for it and he knows that other people do to. so i let the girls that i was talking to about ti know what he said because it seems like now that we have done all this work that he is about to take over it.. which i don't mind that i just want SOMEONE to do something and make plans so that we actually HAVE ONE! the girl that is planning the reunion at this time said that she emailed him a while back and asked if he was doing one and he never responded so she asked his wife and the wife (also in our class) so no he wasn't doing one. so she took it upon herself to go ahead and start finding people because like me she just wants to have a freaking reunion! i have profiles on myspace.com louisvillemojo.com and myyearbook.com all trying to make sure that i find people! ;) it's working out pretty good.
in the process of trying to find people for my class i have found people from marks class (c/o 96) they are having a reunion in november which is great, cause we were all thinking that we wasn't gonna have one (or THEY) lol so now im helping their class spread the word for the reunion.

2006-06-01T16:01:00.000-04:00

GRADUATION NIGHT

2006-05-24T16:04:00.000-04:00

look at my beautiful sister who graduated the 8th grade last night... she has come such a long way in her schooling. i can only hope and PRAY that high school isn't going to be the greatest shock to her... she is coming from a catholic school and her entire graduating class is a giant total of 30 kids!!! the public high school that she will be going to next year will be like 30 of her entire SCHOOL, so i hope that "little" detail doesn't make it hard to adjust next school year. OH MY LORD - lol my lil sis is gonna be a FRESHMAN next year - LET THE TROUBLE BEGIN!

C is for....

2006-05-18T12:00:00.000-04:00

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along. robyn gave me the letter C so here goes....

C IS FOR...

Camping: cause we are trying to plan a trip as we speak and it's becoming a fucking hassle. i love going camping and for some reason me and mark only get to go like once or twice a year.. which really blows! but every year we can always count on memorial weekend - robyn, sean, deena, josh, me and mark always go camping on memorial weekend. every year it's a big ol... "THING" regarding the plans... what's really crappy is mark and i wont have the money to go with robyn, sean and mik cause they are going somewhere kid friendly and it's like 30 bucks (on top of all the other crap we need, or should i say MARK needs) so no campin for me till june i guess. :(

Cocksucker: cause it seems to be my favorite word now! lol it partly has to do with the hbo "original seris" Deadwood. LOVE me some HBO. but the guys around work get a kick out of hearing me cuss like sailor. lol but that's been me since i was old enough to know what the words were.... im a CUSSER, what can i say? FUCK. hee hee... "hi, my names amanda and i have a potty mouth!" OH LORD help me before i have a child to over come the urge to use such verbal vulgarities. LOL

Class of 97: because we are getting ready to have a 10 year reunion comingup and im am excited aboutit.... i am hleping with the planning so if any of you went to FAIRDALE and graduated in 97 or know people that graduated in 97... email fairdaleclassof97@yahoo.com... send your contact info...

Candlelight: is where deena and josh are moving too.. YAY FOR THEM!!! with all the crap they have been through trying to get a house, im soo glad that they have one now.. they sign on TODAY. they may even get the keys to their house by this weekend or so! then they are suppose to be moving at the end of this month. the house has a pool in the back yard which makes deena happier than a crackhead at the corner of 23 and market! LOL j/k so hopefully we will get to go swimming alot this summer.

Cancer: cause it's a BITCH! just about everyone i know or YOU Know has been or will be affected by it. all of marks grandparents have or have had it. robyns mom and grandma, deenas dad... and i could just go on and on. :( i have heard that there is a shot that they can give you liek a flu shot if you get "lung" cancer. they pretty much inject you with lung cancer to activate your white blood cells and they attack that THEN they go and attack the tumors that were there in the first place. WEIRD... but whatever works!

Cabin: this has been a on going discussion since it started to warm up. i just don't understand why people have to be petty about shit. or maybe it's selfishness on jeremy and melissas part but... it'd be SOO MUCH NICER if we could just GO and not worry about it. but i guess it's NOT OUR cabin - so we have no say. :(

Candy: My fav.. i love some candy, runts, sweet tarts.. MMMMM my mouth is watering just thinking about em! ;) hee hee i have become a "sweets" junkie, i have to have something sweet!

C*******: because thats what we are tryin to do! :) YAY but SHHHHH you don't know that! :P tee hee and don't be trying to guess cause i aint gonna tell and if you DO know... then YOU don't be tellin!

Cat: my baby's name is bizkit and he is just the rotten-est thing you have ever seen and he is gonna be sooo upset when mark and i have a child... because he has to be right in the middle of everything, getting ALL Your attention or else he will meow and headbunt you until you cave. im sure there are some out there that are thinking... AWW how cute.. HA HA how would you like a 14 pound fatty cat jumpin on your chest or stomach in the middle of the night just because HE thinks it's time for love! ::: shaking head::: it's so annoying and cute at the same time.

China Garden: cause this is my fav. place to eat, me, mom, terri (aunt), jill (cuz), hunter (bro), and linzy (sis) always go every weekend out to lunch, more often than not... we go to china gardne cause it's the POOP! my mother use to work there when i was like 2... so she was about 23. i would never eat any kind of food there cause it looked "yucky" so one day mom ordered an egg roll and unstuffed it and just gave me the "shell" which is pretty much just a big GREASE shell. but mmmm it was so good. so after i ate egg rolls for a while liek that, i started to eat the inside... but i didn't eat them together. even to this day i cut my egg roll in half - take all the "goods" out of the center and eat the insides then the outsides.... LOL weird i know!

DERBY BYOTCHES!

2006-05-02T12:12:00.000-04:00

so it's derby week and all hell shall break loose in this city that i love. lol mark and i have been doing all the derby things they have planned for the week of this year. i have never been to any of it for real, except thunder over louisville which is pretty much the biggest fireworks spectical ever! lol i have lived here all my life and never ONCE been to derby... just doesn't fancy me, i guess. we went to the "bed races" last night which was pretty fun, mark didn't want to go at first but once he started seeing the crashes and that one dude get ran over by his own "bed" lol that was FREAKIN HIGH-LARIOUS! everybody was just laughin at this poor guy! hee hee i know he felt like a DILL!

OH AAAAAND......
you have to have a derby pin to get into the "derby event's" so me and mark got ours while we were there and HA HA i got a GOLD one! ;) i don't think i have ever bought a derby pin but yesterday i did and got a gold one. that means it's an instant winner and i get a prize and then i get to register for a Honda Odyssie (grand prize) or $20K or a ultimate get away vacation or cash option of $10K - HMMM (thinking) a car i can't even afford the taxes they'll charge me or 20 thou???? geee thats a tough one! lol ;)

but so far we have had a blast at all the events we've been to, even the balloon glow that we got there just in time for the count down - that's where they count from 10 and then all the hot air balloons light up at the same time. that starts off the balloon race, which was EARLY in the morning on a weekend... so me and mark didn't go to that one! ha ha screw some balloons, i need my rest! :D

this friday is oaks day and then saturday is the MAIN EVENT! mark and me are gonna be washing limos for some extra side monies ;) whoo hoo for that! we have a vacation coming up in about 3 months or so... and our "down payment" on our condo for the week is due this friday so we are gonna NEED the extra cash. ;) we are gonna go see my friend who recently moved to NC and then go see our other friends brother get married on the beach! :) i can't WAIT!
oh and mothers day is coming up and my lil sis is graduating the 8th grade.
welp, i'll have pics up soon of my derby events. :)

i have to go attempt to do some flippin work now. UGH! is it FRI- um... SUNDAY yet! lol that'll be me first day off.. makes me sleepy just thinking about it. lol

2006-04-21T11:04:00.000-04:00

to the buff man thats "not for sale"...

when i said, um you'd make alot of money if you WERE for sale... DOES NOT mean that im hitting on you... maybe you get hit on all the time, and i can RELATE but there IS a difference between an off handed compliment and a fuckin pick up LINE!

you know, i thought the females on mojo were the only ones that do that... why would you SHOW your ass and your TITS or your fucking ABS in YOUR case if you didn't want the remarks that YOU KNOW are going to be made... You obviously NEED the attention so why was that a bad thing to say? because im married?

do you suddenly become BLIND when you get married? i mean if i said, HEY YA wanna fuck? THEN i think you could feel sorry for my husband.
but thank you for your thoughts about MY relationship, however me and my husband are perfectly HAPPY and i have never disrespected him like that nor WILL I EVER!

if you would have taken a moment to THINK then maybe you wouldn't sound so stupid. but instead you just thought, omg she is married and wants to do me...have you ever thought that not EVERY female that crosses your path is interested, prolly not cause your ego seems to be HUGE. maybe that is to make up for the brain or OTHER regions, i dunno!

i dunno but just to be able to make assumptions like that, says it all, for me.

YOU KNOW NOTHING about me and my husband but if your really interested...

mark and i have been together since i was 14, he is the only person i have ever been with and i love him more than anything. We have never broken up or had time apart, our relationship doesn't have issues about lies or deception, because neither one of us are like that. honesty and communication is the key to our relationship, i guess that's why we have been together so long.

somthing to think about:
think before you speak!

Breath In...through the nose. Out through the mouth...... phew! i feel better now. :)

2006-04-20T08:40:00.000-04:00

me and my sis on her confirmation day. this is the day that as a catholic she "confirms" that this is the religion she is choosing for herself, that no one is MAKING her be catholic. so as a catholic school girl this is a special day! ;) i haven't had the chance to put the pics up yet but here they are...
