I did a blog a few weeks ago called Deadlines.

If you have comments to add about the 2012 Poll, this is blog for it!

So leave your comments below (OR on MySpace)!

And thanks for reading.

Cuddels and Kisses

I have found it! I have found my cuddles and kisses and I love it!

He is my big, wonderful, warm, silly, strong, sexy, funny teadybear!

Song of Solomon is a wonderful book and has become our anthem.

Long lost

As we traverse our path of life, people come and go. We make friends, we lose touch, we grow apart; but true friends have a way of coming back.


Take for example, Trisha. I thought I would never find that girl and low and behold, she found me on MySpace!


Or how about Shane, another friend from high school I had lost touch with, but found me on MySpace too. (That darn MySpace - hahaha)


And why not give MySpace another plug! Randy had found me there too. (Now there is a good story).

Randy was my best friend in high school. Now many of you may be saying, "Wait a dog gone minute, I thought Brooke was?!"

Brooke was my best (girl) friend. But if ever there was a person who knew me better, almost as well as God Himself, it was Randy. He and I were cut from the same fabric it would seem.

Though through the trials of life, our paths seemed to split after high school. I recall the day we last spoke. We were in a crowded bar and he was telling our old class mates his plan for becoming a musician. I cried. I knew at that moment our friendship was over. Our bond was broken. I told Brooke then that it would be the last time we most likely would speak.

Even though he found me a few months ago, we hadn't really spoken till today. It all started because I noticed he had updated (changed) his website and now it didn't show the dates and places he had gigs. I emailed him to inquire and he emailed me back right away. We wrote back and forth a few times and then shared phone numbers because he wanted to "catch up". A short while later the phone rings.
It started off on a general fill in of the last 12 years. Turns out he tried to look me up about 5 years ago while he was in Houston. I was in Germany at the time and my sister didn't mention he had called.
~~(sigh) .... It is funny I guess. The whole time I am on the phone, my voice seems shaky, my heart beat is faster, I can't breath right and I feel jittery. It is weird how after so much time, old feelings can come out of no where and for no apparent reason.
I am so happy in my life with Marlin. He is truly wonderful and beyond a shadow of a doubt the one for me. With out question, I love him! but so weird how Randy can stir up so much with just entering into my life again (even for a moment)....(sigh)....!!

So looks like Randy may be moving back to the area. It will be nice to have good ol' friends around; Brooke, Trisha, Randy...
..............(sigh)..............Yup. Good to have ol' friends around.

"Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee! How great Thou art! How Great Thou Art!"....

Saturday Morning

It's Saturday morning.



Last night Jon (Marlin's bestest bud) came over and we played Wii and ordered pizza. It was a good night for all of us. It had been a while since we have seen Jon, so it was nice to spend time with ol' friends.



This morning we got up early, made pancakes and sausage, had coffee and watched Transformers. It is a good morning.



Thank you Father for giving me so much. I am thankful for all the blessings you give me. I am so grateful to you, Father!

Deadlines?

I have been doing a little studying on the 2012 hype.

.... interesting views.

.... more to come.

Pick up the Phone!

I have been terrible about keeping in touch with many of my friends (Sorry!).
So I try to call a few folks on my way home tonight to catch up....

I call Angi ... No answer
I call Gill's cell ... voicemail
I call Dawn ... Voicemail
I call Donna's cell ... voicemail
I called Emirza, Garcia, Fran, etc..... VOICEMAIL!!!

...Have you ever had one of those days where no one is home. ...Where you are thinking "will some one just pick up the phone"

Well, sorry I missed you guys. All is well. I Love you all!

God Bless.

dogs, Dogs, DOGS

I never was much for dogs. I don't like the way their nose is always wet and they lick you ALL The Time! I can't stand when they jump up on you and they bark incessantly. And typically they are much too needy. Nope, I am definitely a cat person.

I have known a few good dogs though.
There was Rouge, a roommates pet, that was a good dog. She would guard my bedroom door. She never begged, crowded you at the table, or snuck food while you weren't looking. She didn't bother the cats and I never even heard her bark. She was a good dog and I would love on her when I wanted. She even knew she wasn't allowed in my room but on occasion I would let her in so I could pet her but then she would go right back out again to guard my door. She never jumped up and I don't recall her ever being on the furniture. Yup, a very good dog.
(There were one or two others but I can't think of their name and they are no where near as good as Rouge anyway.)

Well, Marlin is a dog person. He has two. A boy, Beau, a good dog and Nakita, the female, a bad dog. Beau wants lovin' and at times it is a bit too much but he is a big lug of a dog so I don't mind it. He does bark and it drives me crazy or he starts whining in the middle of the night and I have to let him out. But all in all, he isn't so bad. He listens when I say get down. He comes when I call. Yup, he is alright.
Then there is Nakita. The Female. And I am quickly hating her. She doesn't listen to me. If she does, it is at her own slow pace. She has to sleep in the bed, and should I have to get up, she moves to my side. She used to not move at all till I forcibly moved her and then she acted like I ripped her leg off and then Marlin is worried I hurt her... yup, she is manipulative. She has started peeing and pooping in the house. It smells. Bad. He has tried to spank her (for a few days) and it didn't seem to work, so he gave up on that idea. I offered several different suggestions but he had reasons we couldn't do any of them. She apparently has a heat condition so she can't be outside when it is too hot. Then, once it cooled down, he was afraid she would escape the back yard and run away. We couldn't keep her in the bathroom on the tile, because she would claw the door and the garage was out of the question because the camper is in there and it is much too crowded for his baby girl. When we were spanking her, I used the flyswatter, which if you ask me did nothing to her but according to him, it gives her trauma and I can't use it anymore. So that was out. I offered the water/vinegar spray my sister suggested but never gotten any comment back on that (and I have mentioned it 3 times!). And don't even get me started on the way he talks to her; like a lover. I makes me sick!!!!!!!!!

I love him and he is wonderful but I hate that dog!

Now, I am a cat person and I LOVE cats. He knows this but apparently he is deathly allergic. His issues, he said, would be -
--the litter box. I would have to keep it clean. I agreed (even though I think cats should go outside). But he fears I won't (because a past girlfriend didn't). But never mind that I clean up the poo or that I step in the pee his dog leaves on the carpet.
--the smell. He can't stand the smell of cat pee or if it sprayed. (Yet his dog goes every day and he doesn't seem to notice).
--the dander.... Hello, you should see the dog hair! It is everywhere. I can't sit on my own bed without being covered in it. It is all over our blankets (and I do wash them often) so it is constantly blowing in my face... it drives me crazy. It is all over the couches. There is no place you can sit in this house without being covered. I can't vacuum everyday. I work. And even when we are cooking, it ends up in the food - now that is GROSS!

DOGS!!! I can not stand that dog! I tried. I tried loving on her. I tried scolding her. I don't even touch her now. I have nothing to do with her. She won't stop peeing and pooping on the floor and she needs to be outside.
