    Our
    “Lord and Master” has a point about drivers. In fact, Christmas night
    we had a run-in with an idiot (who takes the cake for worst driver
    EVER!) who decided that 5-10 over the speed limit wasn’t enough for her
    (teen or idiot adult?) going through the town of Victor. So she passes
    us as we’re going through a stoplight!! With cars coming in the other
    direction!!!! Some Christmas spirit, huh?

    I just found out that my beloved Dog is not going to be on TV anymore.
    (If you want to know, Google him, the story will pop up.) I am so MAD
    at A&E!!!

    I’ve never met the man, but I’ve faithfully watched the show,
    downloaded ALL the episodes on iTunes as well as bought the DVDs from
    A&E, AND read the book!

    Nobody’s perfect, but Dog will ALWAYS remain an ideal to me. Someone I
    would love to be able to call “Dad”. My own dad was verbally abusive
    and is neglectful to my mother…and the love Dog shows his family and
    children makes me want to cry!

    He brought himself up (with help from others) and made something
    positive of his life. He helps people I never thought to give a second
    chance to…and it works!

    Just needed to show love, from a “daughter” you may never meet. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

  • Reign Over Me

    We watched this Adam Sandler movie Wednesday night. To sum up: Its about a man who lost his wife and kids in the 9/11 attacks.

    I wasn’t sure what to expect from this. Adam Sandler is a wonderful comedian, but I wasn’t sure he would be able to handle a role like this. He was amazing. The movie made me laugh, cry, and get very angry. I’ve had a lot of loss in my life and have, at times, felt myself wanting to slip away. The only thing that kept me going was people I love around me. I totally felt for him, and by the end of the movie I was amazed and shaken.

    Never. EVER. Take anyone you love around you for granted. Put off little things today to spend time with those that matter. Always-ALWAYS-part merry and with love. You never know when it might be your last.

    This gets 4 stars from me. Watch, but make sure you have a box of tissues handy.

  • Holiday Quizzes!



    You Are Valentine’s Day


    You are a true romantic who places the ultimate importance on love.
    You are warm hearted, and you find it easy to care for people.
    Love is what drives you – and you have a love to give.
    You enjoy making someone’s day. You’re full of surprises.

    What makes you celebrate: Being with the person you love on a special day

    At holiday get togethers, you do best as: The sentimental one

    On a holiday, you’re the one most likely to: See it as romantic and special

    What Holiday Are You?

    I would have thought Christmas, but this makes sense….

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    What The Holidays Mean to You


    For you, the holidays are about celebration. You enjoy all the fun and fellowship that the holidays bring.

    You celebrate the holidays in a offbeat style. You believe the holidays are for doing whatever you feel like – and some of your “traditions” are pretty wacky.

    During the holidays, you feel magical. You love all of the decorations and how happy people are. You like to sit back and take it all in.

    You think the holidays should be nostalgic and sweet. The holidays bring out your inner child.

    Your best holiday memories are of childhood foods and traditions. You secretly still wish you believed in Santa Claus.

    What Do the Holidays Mean to You?

    And who says I don’t still believe in Santa!?!

  • Is your guy pretty?


    Your Guy Is Not Pretty!


    Your boyfriend is more hetero than John Wayne. End of story.
    While it may be hard to get him to go dancing or shopping…
    You know that he can always stand up for and take care of you.
    Which is waaaay more attractive than a few well placed highlights.

  • Yet another failure

    Took a pregnancy test yesterday. I think you can guess the results. I swear, most of my mom’s family can get pregnant just by hearing the word. Figures I’d be the odd-ball out in all respects.

    Did have an interesting dream last night. I was holding our child. I don’t know if it was a boy or a girl, but I was holding them in my arms. And got a BIG KISS!

    Heart attack scare was a week ago. That was not fun. LMAO, figures I’d get bad indigestion and mistake it for a heart attack! Damn WebMD!! (facepalm)

    Still have some nerves about going to the doc December 5th. Have to have bloodwork done, and possibly more. White count is still up. Not good. So maybe, not getting pregnant right now is a good thing?

    All I know, is my health is getting top billing. Eating better, and have to start exercizing more. I guess mall crawling just won’t cut it. Doesn’t help I’m in spitting distance of 30.

    I don’t know if you have found this yet, cuz I don’t know how much searching you do on yourself. But if you still have the ego, maybe you’ll find it.

    Mike and I were cleaning over the weekend. Have to start to make some room in this place. (We’re trying to have kids…more on that later.) Anyway, I found a bunch of CDs that I had saved off my old computer. And there were a lot of conversations from AIM with you. I read through some of them (there were over a 100, give me a break!) and found one where we had had a good talking out. And a part of me wishes that I had stopped talking to you then, and just let things go. Truth is, I wanted to hurt you as much as you had hurt me. The more time I spent with Mike, the more I realized what a shitty relationship we had had. And I wish I had broken things off when I started to have doubts, things would have gone so much better. For us both. Either that, or I had chosen Mike when I first started looking on the internet and not you. I like to think that maybe I taught you something, to help you grow as a person.

    Can you believe its been almost seven years since we first met? Here I was having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that Mike and I have been married almost 3 years (in May 2008).

    So many things have changed. I feel so alone most days, even though I have 3 fur-babies now.

    We lost Grandma Killian shortly after Mike and I were married, she passed in 2005. I was the first one to see her, well not her…the body, and I got the most amazing vision: I saw her cross to the other side and meet my Grandfather. I felt better after that, but still so very empty. You know she was one of my Best Friends growing up. She’d been sick so long, and I couldn’t come down often and help out…I know Uncle Fran and the family resent me…but when I was down there, she wouldn’t let me help her. (Like I did my Aunt.) I felt worthless, and that she hated me. A month or so after she died, Mike and I had blown up an air mattress in our living room (we do that once in a while to have a mini-vacation…we are weird, I know!) and I had a dream where she came to me, I don’t remember exactly what she said, but she did tell me that she would let nothing bad happen to me. Then she grew wings and handed me a sword, Azna’s sword. I was then awakened by the bed shaking, like someone had stood up from it. I looked around, but Joxer (our only baby at the time) was on the couch asleep.

    Then Grandma Coonrod couldn’t take anymore from Bobby. (the only time I ever wished for you, was to kick his ass around town. Mike wouldn’t…he’s too level-headed) She died suddenly early 2006. I almost broke after that, but I was able to keep it together because Mom couldn’t cope. Now that things have settled from her passing, I’m trying to deal with my own grief. My family is gone. We’re down to me, Mike, Mom and the cats. John doesn’t come around much, he gets “moods” and I wish I could kick some sense into him. He’s been bouncing in and out of school, he wanted to be a cop, and is barely working.

    I went back to school, got my Associates in Information Processing (secretary) but can’t find work I like. So I went back to school again. This time at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online. I lasted there for about 4 months. Trying to do art courses online just STINKS! LOL I made some nice works, and if you want to see them I will have them up on my DeviantArt account. I have become a pixel queen, quite proficient with Paint Shop and Animation Shop. It doesn’t pay the bills, but it helps pass time.

    I’m also High Priestess of an Internet Coven that I had started. (Don’t know if thats just an honorary title, or if I should be flattered…lol) I do some creating for a 3D chat service, IMVU. But you know that, we bumped into each other once. Last Thanksgiving, in fact. If you’re still looking for someone, IMVU is a good place. If you come back my two IDs are LadyPembroke and SilverMoondust5285. I’m not on much, so send me a message if you want to talk. I won’t bit this time, promise.

    Back to recent issues: Mike and I are trying to have a baby. We got pregnant the beginning of this year, but I lost it after only a few weeks. Then we started having issues with fertility. I’m hoping this is fixed now, thanks to pills from my OB-GYN. So, that’s why we’re trying to clean out the place, we need a nursery.

    And our new cats…

    TJ was brought to me by Tiger. Tiger and TJ are both neighbor cats, Tiger adopted me soon after we moved in and before he passed he brought TJ to me.

    He’s a boy, and loves to bug the girls…and mommy to let him back out!

    Aurora is my angel, sent from Grandma C…she’s part Siamese and is a big daddy’s girl.

    Gwen (Guienevere, or however its spelled) was adopted last. She plays fetch like a dog, and when she brings her mousie back (her toy of choice to get) she meows. She’s VERY protective of her mommy!
