I don't know if my old friends are still around and wondered hey whatever the hell happened to me but yes I am still alive. I have been working and I have moved and a lot of nothing has been going on. I have come to the point where I feel that I need to express my feelings in my journal again. I have a new journal so please add me as a friend if you want: http://phoenix-egg.livejournal.com/
For those who have stated that they missed me or just simply stated yes whatever the hell happened to you, I want to thank you for caring about me. Huggs <3
P.S. I have a myspace too if anyone has gone there as well if you would like to add me: http://www.myspace.com/transplantedcitygirl

This past week I have cleaned my kitchen, living room, moms room, and the bathroom. The bathroom looks really great now. My sister gave me a shower curtain that she has never used which is in primary colors with fishes on it and I bought a new bathroom rug that is in primary colors with mosaic fishes on so it looks really cute. I think your environment really does have an effect on how you feel. I feel more optimistic now that I have started caring a little bit more about how things look. I am trying to spend a little time each day cleaning and then when I take a day off from work I can do the major cleaning stuff.
I started my yahoo 360 degrees page and uploaded some new pics so if any of my friends are interested you can see it here http://360.yahoo.com/clubgirl4u_2001. Nothing much happening at work right now. It has been crazy with college students calling for tech support but the last couple of nights after 2 it seems to have settled down. Pretty much giving me time to read my books. I am currently reading the first in the Harry Potter series (yeah I know I am all kinds of late) and Anne Rice's Merrick. Well I am off to go read :)

Haven't written in a while. It is surprising how things can change in such a short period of time. At the beginning of this month I ran to Georgia because of Hurricane Dennis. I got to know my sister a little better as we spent 8 hours on the road. We came back 4 days later to find nothing had changed and the Hurricane had somehow not hit our location although on CNN and the Weather Channel it showed that we were in the direct path of it. It caused me to miss 4 days of work at least which sucked since I was trying to get overtime in. The following week I lost Andy :( He was ran over by a trucker and I was so depressed that I stayed in bed for 3 days straight. He was my dog the dog that slept with me, that stayed in the bathroom when I took a shower, that slept by my side as I was on the computer, the one that curled up with me on the couch and now he's gone. I wanted to write about it before but I couldn't do so without crying. He will be missed <3

To friends that I can't talk to lately - know that you are loved and that I do worry about you and hope that you are ok :)
The car is still holding up :) I talked to R's brother-in-law and he thinks that it is my spark plugs from what I have described to him. My dad, brother-in-law, and sister seem to be of the same opinion and if so that will be great because that will be relatively inexpensive :) The cats are fighting and I still have to keep them separated :( I wish they would just get along. The kittens are officially a month old yesterday and as b-day present to themselves they figured out how to get out of the box. Yes it's a whole new world for them now. I have a baby gate up to the room they are in but when my sister came over they kinda figured out how to climb up the gate; smart little buggers. So when I left last night I had to shut the door to the room and I could hear them mewing in protest *can you say awww*
Going to try to clean today when I get home as the house has become an utter mess since the rents went back to Michigan. I don't dirty it that much but there is a lot of stuff left over from when they were here and my sisters stuff that she needs to take back to her house. I worked both of my days off this week to make up for Sunday and to try to get some o.t. in so the housework has suffered. From what I can tell I have almost 10 hours of overtime. Yay me! I will need it because some other expenses have come up as well.
I am in the middle of two trades right now and I am going to be getting some great Beatles music. My trading list is growing by leaps and bounds :) (http://db.etree.org/MyDarkLife & http://www.recordnerd.com/lists/mydarklife) So going to be busy this week as one trade is 7 disc and the other is 24 and both of them I have promised to try to get out by this Friday. Since I plan to work my days off again I better get to burning in the morning before I head off to sleep.
Another thing which will keep me busy is that fact that I just received Photoshop CS2 from a friend and so now I get to learn new Photoshop things when I make the time :)

The Beatles - Drive My Car |

Took Andy in yesterday morning for his hair cut :) Then headed over to the car repair place but it turns out that they are going to be closed until next week Tuesday. No wonder I got the answering machine both times I called. Hope my car lives until then because I really don't trust anyone esle to fix it and besides my mom knows them and I might be able to work out a payment plan if it turns out to be something major.
Andy looks so adorable, they shaved him all the way down except they brushed out most of his head and tail. My sister says he looks kinda like a q-tip :-P hehe I don't think he does I think he looks very cute. I took pictures so I will try to post them when I get home today :)
Called R last night before I headed into work, he had company so he couln't really talk but it was nice hearing his voice. I skipped work Sunday because aunt flow was visiting so I am going to try to work both my days off this week and I might make 10 hours of overtime which would be cool.

Well it's a race as to what or who is going to get fixed first. The car is acting up really bad, it used to be just when I accelerated or went up a an incline but it seems to be hesitating all the time now. My mom seems to think it has something to do with the fuel end (pump, filter, injector?) and my dad is saying maybe it is spark plugs. R seems to think it has to do with me not having gotten an oil change lately although it's been happening before and after the last oil change. Yeah it's been going on for about 2 months or so and it seems to now only be getting worse. A girl at work seems to think it's my transmission and that I hope that's not it. I think I am going to have to get the car fixed before I get the cat's fixed. But Big Daddy and Garfield are really getting into bad cat fights and I need to get them fixed. I had to keep Garfield in the house all day yesterday because I was afraid Big Daddy was going to beat on him.
Going into town when I get home this morning to return a box fan that I have never used so I can use the money to pay for Andy to get a haircut at the vets. It's getting really long and matted and his nails really need to be trimmed. When I am in town I am going to see if the place my mom usually takes the car to has time to give me a quick estimate as to how much it will be and if it needs to be fixed right away if they can do some sort of payment plan.
My mother can no longer be my back-up plan because my dad lost the union election so he is making less money and they are really strapped for cash. So anything that goes wrong with the car she has informed me is my responsibility. So yeah money troubles :-P
My sister is really sweet she bought me some hazelnut coffee and some mocha cappuccino mix so when I woke up tonight I got to have some great tasting coffee on the way into work. It's the little things that brighten my day *smiles*
On another good note thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lucindalunacy I have found a place that offers low-cost spay and neutering. It's in Pensacola, FL which is about an hour or so away from me. They only charge $65 for spaying and $33 for neutering. You have to get their shots done first which is another $33 per cat. But if I bring all 3 boys in at once I will get a 20% discount on both the shots and the neutering. Can you say woo hoo. So if the car turns out to be something not too bad and I work overtime like I am planning to then I can get the cats their shot's this next check coming and then fixed the following check. Then I will have to start saving for R's b-day present :-P

Ok last night I blew off work to hang out with Jessica. I haven't talked to her in a very long time since she left where I still currently work. It was cool to just hang out :) We watched X-Men 2 and it was really great. I remember watching it awhile back but only seeing part of it. I think my favorite character is Nightcrawler.
But with something good something bad always seems to happen to me. I blow off work and as I am driving to pick her up traveling down the street that leads to her street this deer with a death wish runs right out in front of me. I am only going 45 but still I didn't even see him before it was too late and he hit the front of my car. I get to her house and turn off my brights only to find I have no headlights now. Me hitting another big animal took out the drivers side headlight and this deer took out the passenger side. Now the only lights that work are the brights. I think karma is kicking my ass hard for skipping work :-P
Really bad part is that I don't have the money right now to fix it. I keep saying I am going to work overtime but I feel so run down all the time that I haven't been working my full hours let alone overtime. I did go to the doctor but I haven't gotten all my results yet. The only thing that they found that my be the cause is that my blood count is really low. The doctor said I am not anemic but I am close to it and to take some iron. So this Friday when I get my check (which again I only worked 69 hours) I will head off to the vitamin place to get some iron. Right now I am trying to get the cats fixed. I have 4 cats: Jesse (girl), Armand or Big Daddy as everyone calls him (boy), Twister (boy), and Garfield (boy). I am supposed to get one cat fixed every paycheck which is like a hundred dollars. Then I have to save up for R's birthday gift which is in three months. And now the headlights and also the car is hesitating so yeah better start working more. I have been trying to make it in all this week like two hours early but it's not happening.
Mom and dad finally left this past Sunday for Michigan so now I am home alone except for my sister that still has to come over at night to take baths and stuff because even though they just got their water and sewer hooked up the hot water heater decided to go belly up :-P I told her if it wasn't for bad luck she would have no luck at all. But now I am starting to think of the shit that happens as a Parker family curse :-P hehe
Good things that have happened recently though: Jesse had kittens (5 really cute kittens), I have gotten some dvd r's and have been burning the heck out of some great movies, and I got to talk to R the other day and it was really nice hearing his voice after about a month not being able to call him because of the rents.
Guess that's about it, hope I can manage the drive home without hitting something :-P

Elvis Costello - Accidents Will Happen |
] |
So much has passed in the last couple of weeks and it's been hard to stay in touch with the one person who matters the most but he knows that I love him dearly. So to him I send mad props and lots of good karma.
My sister has come to the great state of Alabama to stay for a couple of years. So currently her trailer home is parked right next to my little house. They have spent the past couple of days unloading the rental truck and as soon as they can get electric, water, etc. installed they will be staying in it. But currently in this small house of ours there is me, my mom, my sister, my brother-in-law, my two nieces, another cat, and a puppy. Yes it is very crowded. Luckily I work the night shift so that when they are waking up I am going to bed so the sleeping arrangement hasn't been to bad. I would sleep in the little house like I had planned but they put some of their stuff in there and I am never sure if they are going to want to get it out and in the process wake me up. But they may have moved it by now since they were finishing up unpacking the truck today to return it. Guess I will find that out when I go home this morning.
As some of you may have read me and Jessica have been making plans to get together to hang out but it doesn't look like that is going to happen this Friday like I wanted it too. First of all my mom has thrown off my plans for this and for R by not leaving this week like she was supposed too. Looks like she will not be leaving until the end of next month so yeah that pretty much sucks. I am still going to have Jess over it's just a matter of picking out a time when it's convenient for us. I have a new schedule again at work. It's pretty much the same as before except I am off Thursday and Friday nights and she is off Friday and Saturday nights. So we are looking Friday as a good day to get together but this Friday she has some family stuff she is going through so she needs to be close to home which is cool. Anticipation is not necessarily a bad thing ;) It's nice to have someone to talk to and she makes me feel really good about myself. The fact that she likes the same music as I do doesn't hurt either. I mean my jaw dropped when she said she liked Elvis Costello and when she was looking through my music collection she said she also like The Kinks and man if I didn't like her before I sure like her now *giggles* Not too many people like the same kind of music that I do. She also likes Erasure so yeah she is a rare girl.
On a random out of the blue note ... did you know they will not ship adult toys to the state of Alabama? LOL Yeah I was looking at this website and I saw this really cool item that was relatively inexpensive and I was like checking out the shipping cost when it said please remove anything labeled toy from your order. So yeah that sucks I say *giggles*
Well it's time to read or do something else since I really am not supposed to be updating at work but you know it's hard lately to get online at home with everyone there.

Elvis Costello - Cry, Cry, Cry |
] |
I saw this in the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) quotes community and I really liked it:
"I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should
burn out in a brilliant blaze than it
should be stifled by dry rot. I would
rather be a superb meteor, every
atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live,
not to exist. I shall not waste my days
in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
~Jack London
It has been days since I have felt inspired to do anything constructive. There is so much I am unsure of at this time in my life. There is so much that needs to be rectified, that needs to be done that I have given up on. I have lived my life just existing and I have always quieted that voice that told me it wanted more.

I am feeling lonely and I am feeling that nothing much in life makes sense anymore. I have many things I could try to obtain, I have dreams that I could go after but right now I am feeling they don't matter. You bang your head against the wall and eventually you stop and your only gain is a sore head. I am to tired to go forward and to much has happened to go back.

Elvis Costello - What Do I Do Now |
] |
It's been one roller coaster of a ride this past month and half. R came to visit the first two weeks of March and I must say I loved having him here. It's like my life made sense again and I felt more like my old self. I think since I have moved I have turned into a different person. A person that settles and who doesn't take risks. Stagnant is the word I guess I would use and honestly when I am forced to realize it I don't like it but I am better for knowing it.
Well enough of that :-P When he was here we took pictures, we went shopping a little, and because of budget constraints we mostly watched movies. But the best part was just being together doing these things. I will post pictures when I get home in the morning ;) We had our last adventure on the way to Birmingham to drop him off at the bus stop which I can't go too much into but was just like our adventures in Michigan *smiles*
After I dropped him off on a Sunday my mother came home on the next day. I had the house cleaned mostly due to the fact that he helped me clean before he left but everything looked good and she had no clue that anyone was there. She would make comments that something seemed different but she couldn't put her finger on it. That was until last week Monday when I went to the post office and accidentally left my yahoo messenger logged on in the system tray bar. I had shut out of the internet but she went online when I was gone and my messenger came on by itself. It said I had mail and she clicked on because that's what old people do and the next thing you know she is in a folder named R. Well she finds just one email talking about him coming down and put's 2 and 2 together and gets 4. Needless to say we fought a little because of money that was spent and we fought about the fact that he was here in her house ... blah ... blah .. blah
Well I was slightly pissed about the fact that she went into my email when clearly it was my email but I didn't think I could say too much because I had lied to her about certain things. But then the next night when I went into work I locked my door which in of itself is not unusual. When I arrived home the next morning I found the majority of my bookcase lying in a big box outside of the house. She went into my room and went through my things which honestly pissed me right off. It was so bad that I told her that I would move out then and there if she wanted me too even though I had no place to go and didn't have any money saved I was prepared just to leave. She said she had a right because it was her house and I was just living there as a courtesy. She threw my books out because she deemed them to be evil and she even threatened to burn them. I moved the books next door to the little house and locked the door and took both keys so she could not get in. It was originally once like a small general store but it has a bedroom, a half bath, and a big living area. The only reason I haven't moved over there before was because of the heat in the summer and the cost to run the electricity for the air conditioner since it has it's own electric bill.
Well long story short (too late I know) we spent the next two days not talking to each other and finally I told her that I would pay her back for anything that she thought I owed her, I would move next door and pay the electricity and that I would save up for a new car so that I wasn't using her car to get back and forth to work. She thought about it and we came to another agreement. Needless to say even though we are on speaking terms and everything seems to be back to normal I am still moving next door. Besides there is a couch, a day bed that turns into a king size bed, a chair, a nice size tv and 3 cd disc stereo system. Over this past week I have cleaned it and moved almost everything I have over there. Mostly the only things left in my old room are clothes and a few other small things. I am really going to like living there and it will give me a sense that it is my own place and some privacy.
This has made me realize though that I need to move out more than ever or at the very least I need to pay her back and get my own car so that I don't have to answer to her about anything. I am grown and I need to get my shit together. I have been too lax these past two years. Right now I have worked out with my coach that I can work overtime and I am working towards paying her off first so she is off my back and then I am working towards saving for a car.
Well I have one more hour left at work and then I am going home. I know it seems I only update when there is drama but it wouldn't be my life if there wasn't drama in it. I promise to post some great pictures in a post that will be rant free when I get home ;)

Elvis Costello - I Wanna Be Loved (version Discotheque) |
] |
The avail at work started early tonight. We had a team meeting at 9 and I of course tried to be on time but failed miserably. I arrived at 9:20 to find my teammates leaving the meeting. My coach didn't say anything but to tell me I didn't miss much and give me a few important highlights. When I clocked in there were no calls waiting and it's been slow ever since. For the four hours I have been here I have taken 5 calls and two of them have been excluded.
I have been depressed the last few months hence the reason I haven't been writing. I had it in my mind that I was stuck here and that my life was in total disarray and I had no control over it. I didn't want to try to make it better because I didn't believe it was possible. I felt like a rat in a maze. Every day going from one end to the other in search of the cheese. Never getting anywhere or affecting anything. I was to the point where I felt to dream for anything better would be folly.
I really don't know what has changed but something has because I have started to feel that maybe I can change things because I have to and no one else it seems is going to do it for me. The fog seems to have lifted temporarily and I am in the process of examining things and trying to figure out what needs to be done, what I want to be done, things I can affect and things that maybe I should just give up on temporarily because I can't change them right now. I guess to sum it up I feeling a little like my old optimistic self.
My mother is leaving Saturday at 6 am. I asked her if she wanted to go out to Pensacola with me tomorrow since we really haven't had any mother/daughter quality time since she has been here. She has already made plans with her friend Wilda to go out with her tomorrow. Oh well I guess she deserves some time with her good friends too.
On a good note Robert is going to be on spring break starting the 11th of next month and if my mom stays in Michigan for a little longer than she says she is then maybe he will be able to come down here to visit me for spring break :) He says he "needs some Leslie time". Awww and I need some Robert time too.
I am writing this on my Palm as they are now monitoring our computers a little more closely. According to one of my sources I am number 8 on the list of people to watch. I am not sure why I would be, but I do check my email quite often which I isn't allowed. It may also be from my visits to the Beatleslash community :-P hehe So I have stopped looking at that during work and I have limited the amount of times I check my email and such. I asked one of my friends who is a coach if this list was real and she says she hasn't heard of this list but I am being a little cautious right now until I find a better job.
I really like the job I do here but I don't like how negative and stessed I get. I put people on mute and my most used comment is "I hate people". The guy who sits next to me says he is going to get me a shirt with this printed on it. hehe I hate the way I have become so negative and I am trying to work on it. So I try not to say "I hate people" so much :-P
Well this seems like a long post to me so I will leave it here and post it in the morning when I get home and sync my palm.
Oh yeah I got 4 packages in the mail today with cd's ;) Ok now I am done.

Crowded House - Throw Your Arms Around Me (Live) |

Latest news: Some haneous bug bit my leg the other day and it hurts. I think it was a spider or something and it swelled up a little but it seems to be feeling a bit better now.
I am sitting in avail right now at work and listening to Crowded House concert from 1990. It's pretty quiet after about 1. Talked with Robert the other day and I miss that boi. He got his candy and he said my card was dorky or something like that :-P I have to admit is was hehe
Received some cd's today: Crowded House, Neil Finn, Squeeze, and another Elvis Costello show :) I am in just finishing a 30 disc trade and I have another 9 disc trade waiting in the wings and a couple of 1 disc trades I have to send out. Yes it has become a bit obsessive.

Elvis Costello - Pump It Up |
] |
Well as I was asked by a very good friend of mine.."why don't you write in your journal anymore?" Hmmm that's sort of a hard question to answer. Things haven't been going to great for me lately so I guess I feel like that if I don't have something good to talk about then what is the point of writing downer entries all the time. But I guess this too is a negative way of looking at things.
My intention this year was to try to write something almost everyday or at least try to keep up writing more than one entry a month like last year. Well that was going good until LJ disappeared that one weekend and then poof I stopped writing. So there you go it was all LJ's fault *giggles*
Lately I have been spending a lot of my time getting into trading bootleg concerts. I am listening to an Elvis Costello concert right now and it's so great listening to live music. I have a huge list on etree now: http://db.etree.org/MyDarkLife. As you can see I have been a very busy trading girl. This has sort of been my escapism. Last year it was Photoshop and it will be again once I get bored doing this. But right now it's kind of nice getting mail everyday. You don't know how much it brightens my day to go to the mail box and get mail and how disappointed I am when I don't get anything or when it's Sunday :-P hehe Ok I don't need an intervention I swear.
I sent R a very cute Valentines day care package. It has bags of purple skittles (his favorite), gummi bears, cherry pull apart licorice, a Smiths concert, a Housemartins concert, a very cute Valentines day card among few other things. I think he will like it.
Daniel called me about 4 times last week but I have yet to call him back. For some reason I have no desire to call him back.
My mom is still here and will most likely be here until the 23rd and then she will be gone for about a week she says but it may be longer. There are some things that I don't like about her being there and there are some things that I do like. I guess the best part of her being here is that I am not alone, that and she buys most of the groceries ;)
And since I have received the digicam from R I have taken just a few pics .... there are of me of course because I am like that heheh. I will try to take more of my surroundings soon.

Elvis Costello - Green Shirt |
] |
I didn't make it home until almost 8 this morning because I had breakfast with new girl from work :) It was cool to hang out and talk to someone new. Although I still woke up at 2:30 this afternoon wide awake.
I was really excited about getting the mail today because R sent me the digicam by express mail plus the fact that I have some Elvis trades coming in. It was raining as I headed for the mailbox but I didn't mind. Well I got one of my Elvis trades *smiles* but the mail lady left a slip in the mailbox saying my package was going to be available for pick up tomorrow at the Brewton post office :( My mom was there and awake all day today and this pisses me off; she just didn't want to get out her mail truck in the rain. She could have honked her horn and my mom or me would have gone out there to get it. Oh well looks like I will have to head into town tomorrow to get it and then I will take lots of pics.
Talked to my sweetie R today online and he sent me a pic from his adventures out last night; he looks too cute. He has really good taste in clothes and always seems to pull off a flawless look. I on the other hand just throw shit together and hope it works hehe We talked for a little bit on the phone today and he is getting his car out of the shop so maybe he can finally drive it :)
I know I said I was going to have Jonathon cut my hair and so forth but after last night I could no longer wait. It was so long I kept trying to push it away from my neck so today I dyed it red with the dye I bought about 2 months ago and then my mom cut it for me. I told her I wanted it short and she actually did a really great job. When I first saw it in the mirror I was like omg it's going to be too short but then after I put in some styling product it looked good. I came into work and Jonathon said it looked ok but I missed a spot :-P I guess I didn't get very good behind my ear and it was a little lighter than the rest...oh well. Will post a pic soon ;)

Elvis Costello - Every Day I Write The Book |
] |
Got an email from my sweetie yesterday :) His car is sucking major ass but he has started classes once again and from what I see he is going to have a full course load. He is sending me a digicam and I am sooo excited I will get to take pictures and post them ;) I miss him lots and it's hard for us to talk lately because: 1. My mother is here and he can't call and talk to me whenever he wants and 2. I changed to graveyard shift and he has started classes so right now we seem to be playing email tag. It's cool but not the same as talking one on one. I wanted him to come visit before classes started this month but my mom staying an extra month kind of ruled that out.
I met a girl at work recently, yesterday she came over on her lunch break and we talked for a few minutes. She seems really cool and we kind of talked for a few minutes when we got off work. I told her we should hang out sometime :)
My latest obsession is getting and trading bootlegs. Right now it's mostly Elvis Costello but I am starting to get a few other artist coming in. I have about 7 Elvis concerts so far and I love listening to them, especially at work. I have never actually seen him live in concert so listening to them on CD is really cool. Here is my current trading list which actually list my whole cd collection except for some cd singles which I haven't logged in yet: http://www.recordnerd.com/lists/MyDarkLife
It's been pretty quiet all night with lots of avail - not complaining at all mind you ;) I have one more day to work and then I am off Friday and Saturday. I should work on one of these days since I missed a day of work last week. I was supposed to get 30 hours of PTO on my last check which didn't happen. I checked with my new coach and he said he would take care of it so if I can get at least 20 hours of my PTO for this check then I will take both of my days off.
I may get my hair done tomorrow or Friday. Jonathon is taking some cosmetology classes and is working in a salon so I may get it on the cheap. I want to get it cut shorter, dye it red and then put some blond chunky highlights in it. He said he could do all that for 20 bucks or so. Will post a pictures of it when I get my digicam :)

Elvis Costello - You Want Her Too (w/ Paul McCartney) |

I told R that my resolution was to write more in my journal this year. I mean 365 days a year right and all I can manage is like 10 entries. I used to write way more in my journal and keep up with my all my on line friends and I still had a regular life when I lived in Michigan. Seems like since I moved that there is not enough time in the day to do everything. I have to same amount of time I did in Michigan but somehow it seems to go too fast with nothing ever accomplished or even fun happening.
I started different shift at work again. I am now working 8:30 pm to 5:00 am and it seems to be a cool schedule because you get a lot of avail in the middle of the night. The only bad part is when they switch me from wireless tech support to regular portable tech support. I know how to do it but wireless networking is more fun, kind of easier, and more rewarding. What is better than hearing someone say "OMG you fixed me issue in 10 mins and I have been at this for 3 days" :-P Pats my big head hehe
New Years was uneventful I wanted to call R at midnight and wish him a Happy New Years but he had plans for New Years. Darn him for having a life. I was supposed to go with Jonathon (this boy from work) and his boyfriend but they ended up going to Huntsville the day before and then headed to Birmingham on that day. He was going to give me a ride but because of his travel plans he couldn't and I didn't want to drive my moms car because she has one headlight out (didn't want to get pulled over by the police that I knew were going to be out). Granted it was my fault for the headlight being knocked out I hit this huge dog. I cried afterwards because I was like "that's someones pet" - it was the middle of the night and I had just turned off the high beams because another car was coming in the opposite lane, turned the high beams back on and there it was right in front of me. I tried to slam on the brakes but it was too late. I didn't know what damage had happened until I came into work the next day and looked at it. I knocked out the headlight and now the horn nor the security alarm works. Well long story short (too late) I ended up staying home on New Years, messaged R at midnight his time and then fell asleep at 11:30 my time and didn't wake up until 1:30 so I missed the count down :(
My mom has been visiting since the beginning of November. She was supposed to have left on Christmas day but when she found out how much snow was hitting Michigan she decided to stay an extra month so she is going to be here until the first week of Frebuary. My sister also came to visit for 2 weeks last month. It was nice to see my two little nieces even though I didn't get to spend too much time with them. The first week they were here I was working tons of overtime to pay for a cool gift for my sweetie ;) and the second week I got really sick with the flu. It sucked so much because they were in my room and when I wanted to go to bed I had to sleep with my mom which sucks in the first but being sick made it worse. They left like 3 days after Christmas to go back to Missouri. They are supposed to be moving their trailer down here in like four months. Kim's husband Rich is still in the Navy and is stationed in Florida right now. We have some good size property and I guess there was once a trailor on our property because there are some hookups for such in the front yard. It will be good because she will be able to watch the dogs and I will have more of a life but it will be bad because R won't get to visit :( Supposedly this is the year that my dad is also going to retire and then he is selling the house in Michigan and everyone is moving down here. This is the point in the post where I say I have to start making a plan to save some money to move because being this close to my family will drive me insane :-P hehe
Speaking of dogs I now have one less :( There was Smokie (german shepard/lab mix), Rusty (laso apso mix) and Andy (purebred bichon frise). Friday when I woke up my mom was gone, I called R and talked with him for a few minutes. When I came out of my room she was in the Kitchen and she smiled at me and then started crying saying "I didn't know it would hurt this much" "Rusty is no longer with us". I hugged her and at first I didn't crt but then I starting thinking about when he was a puppy and the waterworks just started flowing. He was about 15-16 this year and it was the right thing to do, I just sort of wished I could have said goodbye before she had taken him in. I had let him out that morning when I came home from work and if I knew then what I know now I would have petted him so much more. But maybe it's just as well she didn't tell me because I most likely would have tried to talk her out of it. He had breathing problems, weezed, couldn't see hardly, and he shook like he was going to fall apart so yeah it was better.
So now we have 2 dogs and 4 cats. Now I know the last time I wrote I had like 1 cat but somehow word got around and these kittens started showing up. Well my neighbor gave me two of them because they showed up on her doorstep and she couldn't take care of them and I said I would take care of them until I found them a new home so I guess they will be here for awhile since I am not looking :-P Then the newest one showed up the day I came back from picking my mom up at the airport. We heard a kitten crying and at first thought it was Pandora but then found this little bitty thing with a flea collar around it's neck. Took it into the house and took of the flea collar off, he is just the cutest thing and of course Pandora hates him - hisses at him constantly.
So here is the Kitty Roll Call:
Pandora (Black & White Manx with no tail just a piece of fluff back there)
Jesse (Cream & Tan Siamese mix with blue eyes)
Armand (Grey Striped also Manx but with a half an inch stubby tail - beautiful green eyes)
Twister (Grey/Black Striped long tail) (my sister named him because of the swirly markings or else I would have named him after an Anne Rice character :-P)
Pandora, Jesse, & Armand seem to be around the same age which I think is about 8 months and Twister I think is 2-3 months. Well anyway enough talk of animals, this post is too long as it is and I need to save some things to write about tomorrow ;)
Big huggs to all my friends who have kept me on their friend list and I promise to try to post more and to try to keep up with everyone. Now with this new schedule maybe I can start reading my friends list at night <3
