Garfield

Added a new Garfield strip. Thought this was cute! I'm getting ready for work this morning. I'm feeling some better just a a very hurtful scratchy throat now. I am hungry! Got to run and get some food! Yum!!!

Christmas cheer

This is a good one. Since right now I feel kind of sick and some cheering up some do me some good.

Gone Neo

It is pretty bad when your hooked on to something. Lately I can't seem to put down neopets. It took me a while to earn enough neo-points to put my pet through Mystery Island's 1st course in levels training. You need like 5,000 so neopoints to buy the codestone they require for payment.
I plan on buying that sweater today at Stage this evening before they close. I still need to clean house some more. I got some help from Randy last night with putting dvd's in the large box. That corner unit of the house is now dvd case-free. Bored as I may be, just can't write too much. Still at work.

Plans for today

I have not blogged in a while. Guess there has been some things going on. There is no college to worry about now except the that Randy is home now when I get home from work. I like to be home when he is home. I had a little too much freedom when he was gone, did some work around the house but not enough. I took advantage most nights to play Neopoets and even forgot to do the dishes for a whole week. The house is semi-messy. It will need to be cleaned this week before any company comes over this weekend.
Today is some what planned. Bill is out for another day out of the office so today may slow down at work. Jay will keep me busy which is good and I will find some kind of project. I will need to hit a 99cent store today after work. I want to make my my own paper box rather than spend 20 dollars on one at Hobby Lobby. Randy thought it would be cheaper and he told me to get creative and me make my own. I'd like to find all the parts then.
The weather is freezing in the morning too. Imagine Louisiana, getting cold! I actually need to get a new soft cap (snow hat) to keep the cold breeze from hitting the ears. Then I also would like to get a few new sweaters. I noticed a few old ones are falling apart and besides I've had them since Jr. High. That's nuts! I better go for now. Grab a little bit of coffee and play a little. Hugs!

How do Rumors really get started?

This one time I played a game at a baby shower about a how rumors get started. The host will think of a simple sentence and pass it to the first person in line. The host can only say it once. Then that person who they told will have to tell it to the next person sitting to them. And so on and so on....At the end the last person has to say it out-loud what was said. Most of the time, the sentence will come out so funny and different from what the original was said.
You could say that I've heard my fair share of rumors and there is one going around my workplace which is really stupid. I just thought it was funny to hear someone say today that "She's a medium of some-sort, into ghosts." That kind of blew me a new fuse. I am not into that kind of thing at all, in fact it was twisted wording, lol.
There is very little interest in ghosty phenomena now. On occasion it's maybe playing with a voice recorder and maybe capturing funky photos and that is it! I would love to find the starter of the trouble maker and poke his eye out. Or at least give him a good talking to. I am sure of and positive I am no freaking Medium! As a Christian, I just can't do that kind of thing, nor can I go around and poke the guy's eye out. But I will not be pushed over either by some stupid rumor. For those who want to say something about someone, please go to the persons mouth and get it from them! Otherwise you will have quite a time dealing with embarassement and other people's stupidity.
Other than that, today has been fine with work. I'm keeping busy updating vendors and such.
It is almost CHRISTMAS! I did pretty up the house some. I have red garland around the poles and made a christmas table and put up a small tree. I did some shopping already but just not done. We are looking at gift sets this year for presents. We have to watch what we soend if we are getting things ready for a move. Better go for now. Byee.

Japanese food!

Shoguns was great and with a friends even better! This was Jill's first time at a Japanese Grill. She loved every little bit especially the teriyaki chicken! Rita enjoyed the food as well! I love the fact we can share moments like this with friends.

Birthday!

My sis told me when brother hit 30 he had a crisis. I hope I don't do the same. Today is just another ordinary day, besides the fact I just turned 29 this morning. What will next year bring? No big plans at all for today. I have to work full hours till 5pm, meaning I'll have to do grocery shopping tomorow. Commisary closes early. So I'll be at home with this sinus head cold while Randy is at work. He is on Mid-shift, which is 3pm to 12pm. He does not like the hours but the work he doesn't mind. It keeps him away from the jerks from day shift.
Tonight is a no brainer, no plans except to pick up house and get it ready for Saturday's Stampin Up party. We have about 8 people showing up, then afterwards we are eating at Shogun's for a birthday dinner at 6pm. So this weekend won't be so bad. I booked tickets for Sunday's 5:10 showing for Harry Potter's 4 movie! I can't wait to see it! I better go and get to work.

Garfield swallows a fly

My morning with Garfield! Garfield.com is the best place if you want Garfield in your morning inbox to make you smile!

To some phenomenal women

Don't Break the Elastic
In April, Oprah interviewed Maya Angelou on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was "exciting."
Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried.
She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!
Maya Angelou said this:
- "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."
- "I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
- "I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."
- "I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life."
- "I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."
- "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back"
- "I've learned that when ever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
- "I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
-"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."
- "I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."
- "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."


Please send this to five phenomenal women today. If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another woman's self-esteem. If you don't...the elastic will break and your underpants will fall down around your ankles!

Help! Pray for peace and a maid!

I really like it when people leave comments but I really do not appreciate people leaving advertisement (credit, viagra stuff...) in them. If you want to talk business send it to my email, thank you!

On another note, I've been so moody today. I'm aggravated at things around the house mainly. I blame myself for not thinking if we had all the equipment for our projects. I should have thought about a detailed sander beforehand. We looked in a lot of places today to find and now I'm waiting on an idiot online to answer my question before I buy it from him. I really need a sander within 2-3 days. We have company coming saturday and I'm worrying about this house so much right now. I'm upset that every single room is a mess or a disaster. Yea, we can only do so much in one day but I have a husband that is more concerned with his own project than helping me out around here. If he gets that done he better help me out some when he's done. Sorry I need to get things off my chest.

One busy saturday

Reconstruction of the small bethroom has begun. Today I'm sanding all the old paint of the cabinets and this is taking quite a while. It has 2 layers of paint. I am hoping that by tomorow I'll be able to stain it. With how time consuming it all is, this project will take a few days. When Randy was looking for nails he started complaining and I pretty much told him he leaves things out so much I end up cleaning up. He took it as I had called him a slob bluntly. Looks like we will need to make amends tonight. I was nice though when I went to get a few knobs and holders for the cabinets, I came back with lunch for him.
He too is working outside today building a speaker box. I better not complain, preferably it woul dbe nice if he was working on the bathroom. Lately, I've been feeling that work around the house is my job, mainly picking up and cleaning after both of us. I just aggravated when it seems like he does not pull some of the weight around the house. He does help on occasion but I have to give him a push sometimes, especially if we are going to have company. It is nice to have things finished and feel that accomplishment. For me I have a hard time with patience, always trying to get things done or picked up. Lord, I need patience and strength to keep me cool. Please keep us in your prayers. Thanks everyone!

What is in your name?

You can take a look at what is in your name at: http://www.paulsadowski.com/Numbers.asp
It's just a fun little game and it reads your name and it can tell you some pretty accurate things. Even the birthday one, which I like better: http://www.paulsadowski.com/birthday.asp

This is what it said about my name though:

There are 18 letters in your name.Those 18 letters total to 83There are 5 vowels and 13 consonants in your name.
Your number is: 11
The characteristics of #11 are: High spiritual plane, intuitive, illumination, idealist, a dreamer.
The expression or destiny for #11:Your Expression number is 11. The number 11 is the first of the master numbers. It is associated with idealistic concepts and rather spiritual issues. Accordingly, it is a number with potentials that are somewhat more difficult to live up to. You have the capacity to be inspirational, and the ability to lead merely by your own example. An inborn inner strength and awareness can make you an excellent teacher, social worker, philosopher, or advisor. No matter what area of work you pursue, you are very aware and sensitive to the highest sense of your environment. Your intuition is very strong; in fact, many psychic people and those involved in occult studies have the number 11 expression. You possess a good mind with keen analytical ability. Because of this you can probably succeed in most lines of work, however, you will do better and be happier outside of the business world. Oddly enough, even here you generally succeed, owing to your often original and unusual approach. Nonetheless, you are more content working with your ideals, rather than dollars and cents.
The positive aspect of the number 11 expression is an always idealistic attitude. Your thinking is long term, and you are able to grasp the far-reaching effects of actions and plans. You are disappointed by the shortsighted views of many of your contemporaries. You are deeply concerned and supportive of art, music, or of beauty in any form.
The negative attitudes associated with the number 11 expression include a continuous sense of nervous tension; you may be too sensitive and temperamental. You tend to dream a lot and may be more of a dreamer than a doer. Fantasy and reality sometimes become intermingled and you are sometimes very impractical. You tend to want to spread the illumination of your knowledge to others irrespective of their desire or need.
Your Soul Urge number is: 8
A Soul Urge number of 8 means: With an 8 soul urge, you have a natural flare for big business and the challenges imposed by the commercial world. Power, status and success are very important to you. You have strong urges to supervise, organize and lead. Material desires are also very pronounced. You have good executive abilities, and with these, confidence, energy and ambition.
Your mind is analytical and judgment sound; you're a good judge of material values and also human character. Self-controlled, you rarely let emotions cloud judgment. You are somewhat of an organizer at heart, and you like to keep those beneath you organized and on a proper track. This is a personality that wants to lead, not follow. You want to be known for your planning ability and solid judgment.
The negative aspects of the 8 soul urge are the often dominating and exacting attitude. You may have a tendency to be very rigid, sometimes stubborn.
Your Inner Dream number is: 3
An Inner Dream number of 3 means: You dream of artistic expression; writing, painting, music. You would seek to more freely express your inner feeling and obtain more enjoyment from life. You also dream of being more popular, likable, and appreciated.

Bury the Burdens

I finally buried one of my burdens this weekend. After talking with Sis, a lot of questions and answers were made clear. I took the item literally and buried it in the backyard and then said a small prayer. Lord, forgive me.
But it was amazing that I actually felt better afterwards. I don't want to personally have to deal with the situation again or face a temptation that is hard to bury. Literally it helps yourself to see what that item that has become an addiction and to bury it deep in the earth where it belongs. There are way to many things that may consume us that keeps us away from seeing God the way he wants us to be. He wants to be in full control in our lives and us up to us to let him in our hearts.
So when we bury that burden, God is lifting us up and we can feel that burden being lifted off. We may not be able to bury a big tv, lets says its an addiction to a tv maybe the best bet is to cancel the subscription. lol Till next time...
Thanks sis.

Surgery

After yesterday I really do not want to get my the one left over wisdom tooth pulled. It's fine where its at. My right cheek is the size of a baseball but my left is ok, a little puffy but the other one is huge. they probably had more trouble with it. Besides that was the one tooth that did not cut through.
Jill told me I was so drugged up yesterday I was dancing in her car while she was taking me to get prescriptions. I barely remember being on the base hospital and seeing an old friend there. I remember sleeping a lot, dozing off and on all day. They gave me Lortab again! I was sick yesterday, throwing up and that sort of thing. They even gave me a suporatory. Blah! I don't care I'm sticking to the Penniclin for now. For pain I'm taking advil or Ibuprofen. Today it's just pain. Well better go for now.

November already?

November! Where did October go! Let's see my birthday is coming up in 2 weeks. And I also want to give shout-outs to all my buds! Jessica, Sarah, hubby-hubb-hubb-Randy, my brother Andy, My sis - Melinda, MY mom and dad, Rob and Faye, Rita, Erin, Jillian, grandparents who I hope to see soon, Sheryl @ Electro, Steven and many more!
Get smileys at smileys.com Great smiles to cheer someone up!

But yes November is here already and Thanksgiving is coming up. Any plans, we don't even know either! Till laters.

Time flys when you are having fun

Again its a hump day, Wednesday. Waiting for the weekend to get here and lately time has been flying pretty fast. Thanksgiving is not far and then Christmas. This weekend I think me and Jillian and Randy will be heading over to Calhoun to check out Edge of Madness. It's a large theme park held over year during the Halloween season. Just a fun good scare for us instead of going out and getting caught for trespassing on someone's land just to see if it's haunted. I'm not doing that again. About this time frame of last year, I went with some old friends to see the Pea Patch tower here in Shreveport. Imagine it all dark and spooky. All you have is a flashlight, camera and your friend. The closest thing we have is pictures of strange light anomolies on photo and that was it, along with a lot of different creepy sounds in the middle of a forest. Thats enough for me not to go back there again. Other than that, I like being scared but in a forest, NO.
Finally my scores are going up math some. From 48 to 51 to 56. Teacher says I am improving, just need to keep at it and go over sections more.
Husband thinks we may settle down in Arizona. We both have talked about it and pricing isnt too bad with houses. We don't mind the heat, normally I like the cold. I like the atmosphere there. Its dry heat, not wet heat like here in Louisiana. Its like I don't have excema anymore right now hands are doing fine now. They occasionally break out during stressful changes.
Better run! Talk later!

garfield

New joke!
Writing up a quick blog spot.

Liking it

I'm actually feeling comfortable with work now, more of the I feel at home feeling. I read up on Melinda's blog yesterday and surprised me with a call last night. Sherry came over and we watched the season finale of Ghosthunters. We like to get spooked on occasion. If you ever think I got scared of monsters at a younger age, that phase is gone. Jason and Grant last night went to the Crescent Hotel in Arkansas and what better place to go to for the finale. You can actually see the body/apparition standing in front of the locker and his head is moving down some. I'm gonna leave it at that. I honestly believe there is a spirit dimension, in fact I came upon a scripture in the bible about it. Where a man is given the ability for a while to see into this dimension and he sees thousands of horses and there is a great war between good and bad.
Anyway, I will have to find that scripture again and post it up.
Other than getting amazed with that, I'll be taking the make-up quiz tonight in class and learning about division with polynomials. My good friend already showed me how to, a little ahead with that. I'm getting nervouse already, there is a test on Monday that will cover our previous chapters. Please God, just need at least a 60-70 and I'll be happy! lol! After school is done for this holiday, I'll be going back to gym. I do not want to know how much gain there is. All that halloween candy!
Well I'm now alomst over a head cold with sniffles still. The surgeon did not want to pull the wisdom teeth on Monday because of that so we did reschedule for a re-try for Nov 17th. O boy, I get to be drugged up for my birthday, lol. Bad thing is Finals in class is that night! Teacher says I can come in during the 15th, 16th between 8-4 to take it there, That means taking an hour out of work or so to take the test at the school. I need prayer for wisdom and understanding of the math lingo. I better go for now before some work does come in.

GREAT NEWS

What is better than the worlds biggest ice cream? Or even having a house full of cute animals?

Thank God for change! My hubby heard this morning that his cross-training has been approved.

He will be going to Kessler, Mississippi for a month, tech-school starts May 15th 2006.

The job: Computer Planning and Implementation Management.

By next summer we will be moving out of this state. We just don't know where we are going yet. We will find out in about a month, maybe in a couple weeks. I will keep an update on that!

I love Fridays

JOKE OF THE WEEK
I love Garfield!
This is how my morning went so far for today. I left on time for work and I chose to head to the right for an escape to the backroad. That was my first mistake! I had to wait for the parents to move to get into the school that sits right at the end of our road. Then I waited on someone because the lady stoped in the road to let her child out! After that when I finally reached the back road I had to ride behind a school bus most of the way. About now I wanted to scream! A few minutes to 8, I went to go check in at the time clock. Of course, someone had their time clock right below mine, I accidently grabed his and reclocked his instead. Ooops! So I ended up writing on his (Mistake, sorry) I found mine and noticed yesterday on the way to school time frame the clock numbers were not there! I know I had run the sheet through the timeclock before I left and it was saying I didn't! Annoying! I was about to have a fit. So I had to write in the numbers personally and write on the side that the clock did not print it out from yesterday and that I did run it through. I hope the person who gets these cards will be understanding, lol. I better call her and let her know what happened too. But I refuse to let this Friday be ruined because of a bad morning it has been!

My sister is on her way now to come up and visit today. Looking forward to seeing her! Study some too this weekend. Test on Monday on consecutives, inequalites, I=PRT, mainly 2.3 through 2.9. Better run for now, there is some work to do.

A Day in the Life of Stinky

A Day in the Life of Stinky
By Jenn H (aka Patch)
Corrected by: Stinky

I adore the outdoors no matter what my master says. “Ha! My left paw!” She says, “No, bad kitty.” But I don’t care because I got cat-attitude! Even if I did get stuck outside sometimes, when she opens the door I just walk right back in with my tail high in the air. Sometimes though, I like to play and eat the tall grass and she will come running out to get me, so I munch as fast as I can. This is bad for me later on when my stomach starts to hurt and I’ll just throw up on the carpet. “Yuk, there’s a hairball with that too.”

I also love to rub all into the carpet with my paws and legs stretched out completely sideways, great stretch. Then I’ll just sit there like that for a while and wait for my mom to walk by. As she looks at me thinking I am sooo cute, I’ll eat up the attention she gives me for a moment and then I’ll attack. “Ha, ha!” Surprise, nibble the hand! “Move that foot and I’ll paw at it too!”

One of my most common parts of the day is liter time! I will go potty at any given time of the day when I want. The best time is right after when mommy likes to clean out the box completely with new sand. I can hear her in background yelling something obscene with my name it. “Ha, ha!” She hates it worse when I leave a bomb that smells up the entire room, I don’t care really, I may even like the smell. It’s funny to watch the humans leave the room after that. They just point at me and say my name really loud and say some strange S* word I’ve never heard of.

I especially like to take naps mainly during the afternoons. If I am not lying on the kitchen wooden chairs soaking in some sun rays, you can find me literally sprawled out on top of the couch. Now those are some fluffy cushion tops! I also love it when my parents do the laundry and they are still nice and warm. When mom or dad walks back in the room they usually see me all curled on top of the clothes and one of them would say, “Brat! Those are clean!” Of course, I don’t care, I got cat-attitude, besides I’m sleepy…..yawn! And it feels so warm! At one time though, I woke up out of a dream and found some panties curled up on my head.

Now if you want to talk warm places how about those laps! My daddy lounges around the couch as bad as me, so on occasion I like to lay right on top of him sometimes. I stretch out on his chest and lap and just snooze for about an hour if he does not move.


I really love cleaning. Well I like being very vain for the most part. All the petting, scratches and meals, overall I just love to clean my fur and look nice most of the time. Only on days when I escape to the backyard I will go roll in dirt and get really filthy. But later on I’ll clean up. Boy, it is the greatest feeling just to sprint in grass and roll in fresh dirt!
I do have spurts at night sometimes where I have to run so fast almost colliding with THE DOG. I even like to swipe at him sometimes for fun or even if he gets way to close to me, it is a bit unnerving and get a little grumpy. Believe me I claim whatever place I can get, even if it’s to kick THE DOG off his own bed. Besides his bed is comfy and he just cowers by the couch.
Well by bed time for the humans I am usually awake and eating food or waiting in the hallway for the main door to open. But when I’m tired I’ll actually get comfortable at the end of the bed right at my daddy’s feet. So he has to normally move both his legs around my body, I am pretty big for my age, and at least I stay fit. Well, that is all I can think of for now. There are many days that are different and I get lots of loving, so I am very happy where I am. I hope they don’t move again because I absolutely hate car rides. I will just keep pooping in the back are every time! Bye for now!

Depression is over-rated these days.

That so made me mad! I had written a whole lot on here and everything disapeared! I had written a whole paragraph on what was going on. In short, I'll be in the choir for the Billy Graham festival in November. I was thinking too much this morning and worrying how there is work and school and I remembered mom reminding me about God is in control last night on the phone. Maybe I do pile things on myself on purpose to keep busy. Hubby wants me slow down anyway. I don't understand this math right now, need help!

Down week

At the beginning of the week it was pretty depressing. Then in the middle things became a little less rough and stressful and calmed down by Thursday. I failed my first math test and on the quiz I made a 10 out of 20. The test was a 47 out of 100. That is pretty pathetic. I'm just gonna have to try harder to understand it. I mean the first few days of finding out plus there was a work load on those days so it has been stressful to the point of crying and feeling like an idiot. One way to put math in my terms, it takes minutes for me to figure out one problem, sometimes longer. Or even they way she teaches a problem it takes me a little longer. I've asked her to show the work on some of them.
I am glad it is friday! Last nights class was a little better, more linear equations practice, chapter 2.3, and 2.4 and 2.5. The quiz on Monday will cover mainly 2.3 and 2.4. I needed to go to practice and went after class last night. They were surprised to see me and even had prayer for the many of us. I felt I needed to go and its a good thing I did. I have not had much interaction lately this whole month with other christians. I feel a lot better today with changes. I think I can do it, pass this class and more. Got to run and do lunch! bye

Best souviner from Alabama

I may get the chance to really talk about my recent trip to Alabama however it won't be tonight. Trust me, it will take me time to write it all out. But I want to show you something that was well worth getting while I was there!
Ok family please don't freak out because it really is nice and I don't plan on getting any others.


This was my first time getting a tatoo and yes it does hurt some. Kind of like a bee stinging you rapidly over and over in the same spot. It was more irratating about half way through.
It was the best souviner I have ever gotten.

Back to math 99

Less than an hour to go for lunch! I would love to watch some of the recorded shows from this past weekend but won't be able to today. I'm only allowed 45 minutes for lunch on school nights, so it's a rush home, take dog and feed cat, then feed myself while usually in front of the tv. I have to study today for a quiz tonight at class. What had happened was last week was too much and I was having a hard time in Math 100, so I went ahead and droped out of 100 and went into Math 99 instead. I even started 99 last wednesday and I was still a little lost with that one. But with all the help so far with Jill, tonight's quiz will not be so bad. I think I'm better prepared for it now, just a little more.
Let's see how much you can remember back in the day? =>
This is one I'm actually stuck on:
Word Problem:
Inheritance. Marie is entitled to 1/6 of an estate because of one relationship to the deceased and one thirty-second of the estate because of another relationship to the deceased. What is the total portion of the estate that she will receive?
My trip to Montgomery, AL was great! I'll be posting pics soon. Got to the Selma Bridge and go see a little of Vicksburg, Miss. There was a cool cemetery there that we were unable to visit. It was late last night and hard to find the road to it. So many things to see there and lots of history! Better go for now, back to work! I'll write more about AL later.

Great photos

My friend Erin sent me most of the photos except the Garfield's. The come in daily email newsletters from Garfield.com
These are just a few of my favorite shots lately!

4:25 in the afternoon and my head keeps bobbing up and down. This place could really use longer breaks for naps, lol. I am already butt tired, plus tonight is when Jill and the girls meet at her house for study session over homework. I did maybe a few problems, I really don't have the time for homework with so much work-work and it's 40 hours a week. I mean I'm now trying to figure out where is any chance to relax at all, sometimes even at lunch.
Maybe I just need to get used to the change and figure a way to get the important things first and just organize to fit my needs.
Honey buns is doing fine, he does not like that Texas AFB for 7 level school. He is already wanting to leave. Better run for now, at least the day is almost over and plenty of homework to do still. I really don't think I'll have time to go tonight. Help is needed but its 3 different chapters and not enough time. I feel I won't be ready for thursday night class since the teacher is going into the next 3 sections.
Please pray for me to get things situated! Thank you to anyone! God, I love you and now I need you more.

New class College Algebra

For me Algebra is overwhelming, class last night was not a breeze. I almost cried a couple times just trying to remember, "How in the world did she get that number from that fraction, when my answer is totally off!" The good thing is that someone here at work helped me out a little. My good friend Jill said she would help me a lot for the class since we are taking the same class.
This week will be a little stressful. New state sticker is needed for the car, you have to get the car inspected. The lights must work, general things and a person froma gas station does it. Then after that I still got to drop off a check at the bank and head to a new friends house to pick up my stampin' up order. I am having a Stampin' Up/Scrapbook Demo party Saturday, Oct 15th at 2pm at my home. Not sure on what kind of card/item we will make yet. The lady who is showing us how to make it is real nice.
http://stampinup.com
Thank you for the previous comment, who ever did write it. ^_^
The day is almost over. Finally put up a new template for blogger today, found some nice ones at this place under affiliates. Ain't it cute! Bye for now.

Or find a page that says you can search for a Family Home Page search.
Well here is the page if you have trouble finding it. I had some trouble going through the searches, trying to figure out why is my family page not showing up?

Just a little down

I'm still pretty tired this morning. I remember waking up at 3am and going to the bathroom, but someting else woke me. One night I actually felt the bed shaking on my side as if a child were tugging the side to get my attention. That woke me up, everyone was still and quiet. Lord knows what that was. Too tired to even think.
I woke up this morning with interesting dreams to remember. I did not want to wake. Part of the dream was I actually found a real love in a man that did not look at all like Randy. In fact he had darker hair and when we met for the first time, it had vibrant sparks. As if we know we were meant for each other. I guess I have been worrying a little on the relationship with Randy lately. We both get distracted with other things other than being together sometimes. I would really like for us to take time away from TV, electronics and actually get away together such as camping or even a walk. He has had a lot of bad days lately at work getting more upset with things. The only time we can speak is to interupt his Stargates or 7th Heavens.
Oh well, I hope things will work out. I better go and fix these problems with helicopter parts. They are not reading in the system and I need help with it.
I hope everyone is doing well.

Pulling hair!

Well, as of this morning our carpet is sogging up for the 3-4 day in a row this time it seems be growing bigger in the general area. I thought it was us with extremely wet feet out of a bath, but no this seemed different. I’m thinking that our Jacuzzi tub pipes can only take so much pressure wondering if those are the right pipes. Well it looks like the doorway in front of the bath area under the cement may have a slow leaking pipe or the pipe is busted. The carpet is wet every morning even when we try to dry it! What would you do?
Randy told me the way to turn off the water was outside and I couldn’t find it, argh! Anyway, maybe we should have gone for a Jacuzzi that sits outside.
I ended up calling him at work and letting him know we have concluded it’s a pipe. He was just saying last night he hoped that they will have to condem the house and the insurance would move us into a new place! That’s just wild! I doubt it but it would be great.

Second, Randy called a minute ago on the cell and he was at home. He said he hda gotten in touch with our plumber friend Jack and Jack gave him instructions on reading the gauge. So we will see whats going on. It does look like a slow leak in the pipes so far.
Thirdly, Randy mentioned that the cross-training paperwork he worked hard to get has now gone missing in military hands! This is like the 2nd time this has happened and we're both getting frustrated over this. It seems like they love to do this or they are doing it on purpose.
Please pray for us that Randy paperwork will be found and processed! We are both desperate to get off this base.
Fourthly work has been pretty busy this week and sometimes feel like going insane or true blonde for that matter! Lol. Besides some how today I'm missing my period, it may be the change in pills for all I know and its time to make that yearly exam "gyno."

Well I better run before something happens. I'm hoping to hear from Jess, no word in a while.

Geneology

Before college really had begun this summer I had started doing research on the Barrow's originally. This is Mom's grandmother's side. Now that I have some free time in between classes I found out yesterday it is a lot harder than it seems. I did learn that there are more Barrows out there, it is just finding the right one connecting to certain events. I feel we are connected to a William Ruffin Barrow somehow but of course it is tracing the correct lineage.
Example, if you go to: http://greenwoodplantation.com/ I'm hoping there is a connection considering the plantation itself was built by a Barrow.
Well I better run for now and hope to talk about this later. There is a little bit of work to do. It has only been an hour into the day and things are pretty boring. When Jay is sick there is not much to do.

Beginning of August

I am surprised how quickly August is already here! This is Birthday month! Shout-outs go to brother, sister and mom. Andrew I'll call u later tonight! Decided to do my persuasive speech about "Driving Dangerously - Saftey Issues." It will probably be a common speech but I am at the point creativity is not on mind. Time to get it done and ready for finals. Finals are on the 8th. Downloaded the college schedule and classes, jusat don't know what to take. Early registration starts tomorow. I will need to get financial aid somehow for this fall. I'd like to take 2 night classes. It will still be night classes. Prices are crazy here. In Cali it ran about 12. to 13. per semester hour. So if you pick a 3 credit class it going to cost maybe 39. to 40. for that one class. However here, it's $112.00 per semester hour. I paid out of my own pocket for speech class around $336.00. Imagine 2 classes, yikes!
Well I better run and get some work done before time to leave from work. Class tonight.
Hugs!

Visiting World Wide

If you have not heard the latest on how to travel world wide in seconds, let me show you.Go to http://earth.google.com then Download either one. I picked the first one since the second one shut down my computer completly on its own on the one at home. It may have a glitch, don't know.
Anyway, pick one and download it! You will not regret it! This uses a high tech satelittle imagery of the world from space and angles it at places you want to go. Now, on some places you pick you will still get patches that are hard to see a little but for the most part you can get pretty clear imagery depending on where you go! say you want to go the Grand Canyon because you have never seen it before! See below. It takes a little patience it takes a few seconds or so to let the resolution unpatch. You can even see my house, well underneath the big tree! Today I visited Austraulia, the Philipines, the Icecaps, Iceland and the Grand Canyon. And you can say you have, lol!
This is probably one of the best programs also for directions. Just type in your address and types in another and it routes out the roads for you. And this time you can actually see the roads for the most part. To me this is better than mapquest, which sometimes leads you to getting lost. Please check the place out. I better run, litteraly, the porcelion god calls.

Weekend 23-24th

I'm looking forward to seeing Ed and Sis soon. Another week I think. I'm at work and I heard the Japanese are coming today, maybe a nice lunch is in mind. I'd like to go with them, lol. Randy's dad had some tests done recently. He seems ok, just a heart murmer and maybe a couple of other things.
We did get to see Charlie and the Choclate Factory over at the new Regal. Nice seating! Saturday I went to Forest Park Cemetery and took Sherri and Jill. I did get some interesting EVP for class. Some strange entity seemed to be following us and recorded it on the recorder. It was not only whistling right into the recorder it also said "hiii" clear as a bell.
I better go, there are some things coming up. Don't worry we are not meddling into some strange force that is out there, some things just happen. Its pretty neat to know that I can go visit a cemetery and get live feedback from those who have passed on. It's not likely I'll be doing this every weekend, just this once. If anyone would like to hear some of the recordings, let me know. I'm trying to find a way to upload it to the computer.
I hear the Japanese are here already and Bill went to a meeting. Better go.
Hugs~

Speech class

Not a heck of lot going on. I'll be giving a speech on EVP coming up in a couple weeks. I'm just doing research on it. (Electronic Voice Phenomena) But hey its different from what a lot of people are doing and it will perk their interest, lol. I may go out and try it myself to see of I can get anything on tape for testing so that I have some kind of proof on tape for class. Best time is when solar flares are active, crazy ain't it. I don't plan on getting to involved, may not be a good idea.
Other than that, we are doing well. Tonight we are going to hit Tokyo Restraunt for some Japanese food. We will see how expensive it gets. Today will be a cleaning/pick up day before company arrives. Rita, Sherri, and Jillian should be coming over Saturday afternoon for a free crop day together at the house. Kitchen is a little messy. I am eager to do some new pages. I bought some new glitter and regular stickers that are used for bordering.
On the 31st, Erin and I will be doing a duet in Church for Sunday morning. The song is called Power of Your Love. She called last night to tell me good news that her friend will be playing the violin for us as well. I better run and find something to do since I'm at work.

July 10th Weekend

Sadness has shown its ugly face on Sunday. At least it was a closed casket and the look on Pastor Tom Dungan and his wife seemed sadder at the minute. I remember looking at the card a man passed out to us. Thomas Dungan, son of Pastor Tom it read on the top. It is so terrible to lose your own children, no matter what age. Thomas was their black sheep of their family, always getting into trouble. He was married and had a couple of kids and then he decides to commit suicide. Not a pleasent death at all. I've met their younger son but not Thomas.
We are keeping this family in our prayers this week.
On a better note, this may cheer us up:

I gave my demonstrative speech last week wednesday on how to make buttercream. It went along ok and then in the middle of it, I lost some wording and refound it. Pretty bad but it sounded ok. Next is finding a topic on a Informative Speech which I'm still looking for. Any ideas would be great! Maybe something along the lines of Archaeology or history....I hope everyone is doing alright.

Health

A little report regarding skin tags. I guess they do run in our family. I'm noticing one that has discolored recently, time for a visit to the healthcare this coming week. Mom called yesterday letting me know about her visit from the doctor. She has rhumetoid arthiritis. It is a common thing in the US and a little in her side of the family. It's not a good thing but at least I'm not too worried about it. Just glad to know what it is now.
Everyone needs to have a great 4th of July time off! Go have some fun! We will probably stay home again like last year. I'd like to go to the river at least. Hang in there mom! Love ya!

What is it!

I absolutely hate spiders!!!!!!
What kind is this?

Helicopter Rides

1500 Feet high in the air and when you look down all you see is what is on the ground. There are different roads going on for miles. Just being able to see what looks like the backyard from our house was unbelievable. Now if you want to be more technical here is more info on the A/C that I did ride up in: http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N304PH.html
This one has the colors of a bumblebee. So far it has been my fav copter here at Metro. I am already looking into Flight School! Sounds so neat!
got to run! Almost lunch time!

Grace is Born

Aimee' just gave birth to Grace. She is 7lbs and 29'ounces and 21 inches long! She decided to leave early today to start her maternity leave and was pretty lucky to give birth the day she decides to leave. This is a good day! It happened around 3'oclock.
Other than that it is a hot day at around 94 degrees! We went swimming on the base pool last saturday, we may go again this coming saturday. The pool is pretty big right around 10 foot.
We are doing good, we bought a dinning room table and chairs set. It looks very close to the one Randy's mom had. I'll have to post up a photo. Better run!

The Heart of Worship

Just wanted to write a little bit this morning before work. Sunday during the song, "How great is our God" it was a cold morning at first. But in the middle of the song the Holy Spirit just hit hard, it may have even been God's presence. However you want to percieve it as, the whole group seemed better than before and the guy who sits besides me in a chair pushed me closer to the mic. He knew something had happened but don't know if the others felt anything else. My voice became louder and our voices collided bringing down a church to actually lift their song higher. People lifted their hands and worshiped from their hearts. I felt an actual warmth spark start from the top of my head and ran all the way down the back of the spine. I started to cry in fact. The whole warmth seemed to carry on into the next song and left like a ghostly spirit. Except this time it like went above every one in the building and dispersed above the crowd. This is what it felt like. We could see it in their faces, in their smile and inside.
This is for Jack, our preacher, guitarist, singer and friend. He is leaving the church and moving to New orleans. We will be getting a new guy - Mark. Jack is a great guy, we will miss you.

Emma

I guess it had happened Sunday around 1pm. Emma Birdsong Bassett took in her last breath and said her back felt better, the pain is gone. Over the weekend, for the first time in years her back just started giving her pain. She had hit 100 years old on Christmas day of 2004. She was pretty frail and had seen her days run by so fast. She could tell us grand stories of the days she had lived. I made friends with Emma the first year we moved here. She and Gloria really liked my singing from church and the common visits to their house. Today was pretty heartbreaking to come into work and try to do things, however I found it hard to concentrate since there was not much to do. Gloria told me Emma was rushed to the hospital twice over the weekend. Then on Sunday in the afternoon an anurism hit and she said she felt better, no more pain. She was awake for a short while and then she was gone. Her funeral was held yesterday in Snow Hill, TX.
In fact you can view this place here: http://www.snowhill-tx.com/Page%204%20Graves.htm
I imagine it is harder on Gloria since it was her mother. When I talked with her it looked like she was about to cry and at the same time smiling.

When it is time to say goodbye,
And your feeling down and out.
Remember to look forward
to the things that mattered.
Love conquers all... even in death
God never left us.
He is just there
ready to pick us up,
even when we stumble
down to cry.

Babies

The kids enjoyed the weekend at WaterTown. For a few days my shoulders and back were red and now they are tan. Sherry was also red, her's was worse! Babies is another topic thats been slipping in lately. At this point I should not worry on planning it technically and Randy did keep his promise. So at first I was set on start trying to get pregnant in a couple months, that way the 8-9 months would end somewhere in April or May of next year. I don't like the fact that I really like this new job and when it happens I would need to be home, yea it will happen anyway. However, we are finally getting back on our feet and bringing in some good chunk of change! Honestly, even if I did ask about it, Randy would say the same: Wait at least, at the least.....until we have paid off the credit cards, Sears and Circuit City. Now I'm looking forward to working hard enough to pay them off and just letting God handle it. It will happen soon. Im thinking a fall baby actually. So may try for it around Christmas/Winter time. That would be funny if we tried for it before he left for 7 level school. Well got to run to work!

Class - LSU Tech Barksdale

Oh, I forgot that I register for class and readmin...I'll be takin speech June 6th twice a week in the evening. 7pm

Last week of May

Let's see. This week has been tremendously busy at work. I even had to deal with a vendor whom misunderstood me on closing an account. She didn't even let me tell her it was for an account PO. She freaks out and I start to cry but that's over and taken care of. The next day Jillian calls me with good news that she is now registered and about to take classes with LSU Tech over at Barksdale. Same day, Rita tells me sho got a new job over at Centerpoint, which is an energy company as a Drafter. She was very happy about it. They are training someone right now. The guy seems pretty quiet. Time to make a new friend....
Matt, our computer guru at the company, came by with my surprise this morning with brand new speakers! I'm very happy with. Now I can listen to my mp3s and cd's and rip new music. The day before the good news happened I was actually praying about letting God bless the people around us and it was cool to see that come true the next day. Randy came over real quick yesterday and looked at the computer and showed off his new toy AR15 gun part to a few people. It was funny at home. He comes up running to me bouncing side to side acting goofy. Just glad to see he is happy. Last night then we went to Shogun Japanese place. Tomorow I'm taking Conner and Emily to Watertown and meeting Rita and her son, Blake there around 1030am. The kids will enjoy it. We are looking into going to the Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels, TX. I'm looking forward to lunch already....Japanese leftovers! Gotta run!

Moving things

I don't have enough time this morning to write at home, maybe more at work. Just letting everyone know that my jenhea...yahoo account will be closing and moved to gennrie@yahoo.com
This is also means to photo album will be gone too. I've actually been moving the photos over this week slowly to the other photo album. I'll be emailing people who have the old yahoo this coming week.
Looks like I will be closing off gekkani.com as well in the future pretty soon when there is time. It's either close it off or use the the name continually for the future website of christian lyrics. It is aggravating that sometimes you cannot find the lyrics anywhere of a good christian song that you may want to use for a project or something. Where my career is going so far, it is not a bad idea after all. And Gekkani has always been there, it just needs a pick up change.
More news real quick or I am late for work. Randy has a defenite date now!
September 7th 2005. He leaves for 7 level school in Texas probably the 5th to get there in time for class and settle in. He will be there till the 30th. Only a month. Better go!

A little excitement

Jay asked me today about getting prices for my cakes for a friend. Apparently, she is curious to how much it will cost for me to make her wedding and groom cake. So maybe I get to do some work finally for a real wedding. Over at www.wilton.com there are so many good icings to try.
Again, it is getting pretty boring at work about now. I'm helping Rita with scanning paperwork. It is usually busy in the mornings but often is not in the afternoon.
We are in the process of painting the computer room now. Well, it is me and Jillian doing a good portion of it. Randy occasionally will pick up the brush. Yesterday was the 3rd day in that room and we are alomst done. We just to make a couple more coats and we are done with the primer. The room now looks like Jesus stepped in there and said "Let there be light." It is white!
I'm looking at a new desk, hopefully that will fit at least one for now. If lucky, find one that wraps around the corner. We will take a picture and post it when things are done. Time to get back to work I guess.

End of April

The family reunion went well for the last weekend of April. Jessica's birthday was also May 1st, so I sent her a necklace with matching earrings. I met Aunt Jessie that looked exactly like Grandma to me. I took a lot of photos and her and moms picture came out really well. I thought about Andy too, I wish he went to the reunion. I made a new friend which is my 17 year old cousin, Jesup? She has a pretty name but I don't know how she would spell it. Since there are tons of pictures taken on this trip, you can look at them over in my Yahoo Photos.
http://photos.yahoo.com/jenheaton76 This account will close soon and all the photos will be moving to different acount. I will let everyone know when this happens.
I'm glad to have read up on recent Blogging issues that have come up. Did anyone here about the mother who had to get her little girl's password just to read her online journal? She found out her daughter had posted up pictures of her friends with their full names and information that was not to be posted. I wonder what happened between the girl and her mother. The girl was only around 10 or so.
I'm thinking of going through my blog to make sure nothing of too much info is being posted. I will also be closing my previous Yahoo account since it has too much name in it. I'll make a shorter one. I have a business email and that will be sent out only to people I know; it will not be posted.
I hope everyone is doing alright. I'll be going this summer to get my two top wisdom teeth be pulled. I am not wanting to do it but must be done. I started yesterday painting the computer room, Jillian came over to help me with it. That was nice of her. Last night though I passed out for an hour on the couch early.
Guess I should run for now since I'm at work. CONGRATULATIONS SIS! Do well at your new job! I better run, break time!

Sunday night

It has been a good weekend. We picked up my prescribed glasses, 2nd pair are sunglasses. Church was good as well. They had Erin, a drummer (cant remember name)Carrie and me playing and singing for the opening song. "What if God was one of us."
I'll be with the parents for the next sunday and with lots more! Looking forward to it.
I need to go work on my roses for the final cake in class. Just tired.

God carries us when there is only one set of footprints in the sand.

I'm pretty tired tonight, getting ready to take a bath and go to work in the morning. I've been called back. Ame`e called this afternoon and told me about Chelsea is quiting. And that Milton and probably someone else thought of calling me and wanting me to try to fill her position. Its the same pay and the same thing that Ame`e does, just a little different. The funny part is that I had started talking out loud to God my feelings and about the job situation this afternoon before the call infact. That I'd be there originally for only a few months if I was filling in for Ame`e. I did ask God if it was meant to be and his will for me to stay with company more permanant that he would let me one way or another. Whats cool about is that maybe 15 minutes pass and I got the call from Ame`e. This different position is a full time permanant position with the same pay and benifets. Which is awsome! I just started thanking God at the point after that. So tomorow I'm going in to see how I will like it and they will see if they like me enough to get the job permanantly. Its a basic see how you like it kind of thing.
It was just strange timing and God was right there and he was listening and that just amazes me.
Erin told me this evening after band practice somethings that really surprised me. In her opinion, (she tells me) when other people get up there on that stage they are singing but you get up there its as if the people are in awe. When you are there, your voice is reaching God, not for you and not for the people. And that is what makes you different.
Guess I was caught off guard, but thats how I feel when I am really into the worship. When we sing I think we should be there to sing for God, not for ourselves, but using that talent is an awsome experience knowing that it is touching lives around us. One day, just once I would love to be able to do that duet with Micheal W Smith.

Tenacious Tuesday

The computer has been crashing on certain things lately and Randy had put in a different video card. On somethings such as CD games I can't play until he takes it out and replaces it. At one time, I had written a pretty long blog this week and the power shut off on its own. I was pretty mad with losing a good long blog, oh well.
Currently, I am working with Rita Bramley over at Metro, don't know if it is still the same pay or if it is different, will find out on friday though. Lots of filing, stamping or initialing drawings and EO's, plus making purchase orders. Normal business hours - 8 to 5pm. Fridays are half off usually if we have our work caught up by then. Great management! Aimee (secretary) invited me to her baby shower, she is naming her baby Gracie. Her shower is coming up saturday. Jen Shaw also sent me an invite to her baby shower which is May 7th. Don't know yet that far ahead what's going on.
Here is a link to my Yahoo Briefcase photos. Check them out sometime! Lots of different things. I've added several new albums: Red River Photos, Furbabies...etc
http://photos.yahoo.com/jenheaton76
Did take some nice shots of the kids next door I just need to post them as well. Better go and get some homework done for cake class.

Women of Faith

At 50. dollars a ticket for a good seat, I was able to get floor seating about 6 chairs back from the main stage at Century Tel. Women of Faith Conferance took 2 days and finished at 5pm Saturday April 2nd. Friday night we were introduced to the Women of Faith Worship Team and personally did get to meet them. They signed my booklet. This is the 10th year anniversary in fact for them since the Woman of Faith started. Out of 4 times they have visited Shreveport, each time the bigger amount of people came. This year has been the most, 10,000 came. Too make a long story short it has been a most spiritual and emotional ride there. Sandi Patty and Chonda Pierce sing beatuifully and Yes! I did get to meet them in person and they gave me a hug and signed my shirt and booklet. I better run for now and get to work. I'm working on a scrapbook which has a little more detail.

Annie's Death

Where do I really begin on telling the story of this past last week of March?
O boy! Well Easter weekend we ended up picking up Annie our new black lab mix puppy that was 8 weeks old. Her birthday is Jan 20th of this year. The sadness though is we are already predicting her death will be this new week of April. Most likely if she is not dead by morning she will surely be passing on the next day or so. We took her to the vet on Thursday for an emergency afternoon. She had shown signs of diarea and vomiting. Soon it became a bloody diarea and bloody vomiting. Dr. Ritter tested her and told us she a strong case postive of Parvo. He was able to get her to drink a little and try a little food. She stayed one night and an afternoon with the vet and showed signs of pretty good life in her yet. Friday evening she seemed better and moved around some at the house. However, in the morning she made a turn for the worst. The vomiting and diarea started again with heavier bleeding. Today, we saw that she even refused food and water as of last night, today we can see her bones showing through the skin. We try to force fluids into her and she now rejects. To me and Randy, we both are suffering to see her in so much pain. Even Randy cannot stand her suffering.

Just as I finished writing the top part here, I heard Annie weeze and inhale very loudly through the whole house, so I went to check on her. This happened about 10:10 pm. I just saw her laying there back legs twitching a little, then her chest inhaled one giant breathe and I started to cry. She stopped moving completely. I sat there and watched her suffer thinking she was just a baby.
I went to tell Randy and then went to talk with Sherri. She was there to talk to and she helped me a lot. I went to her church to visit last night. Lots of happiness and clapping, lots movement worship and praise and I was surprised to hear a lady behind me speaking in tounges.
The death however has defenitly got me thinking about the good things tough. Annie is in a better place where she can no longer suffer her pain. And I did the, "What if" game about if she was a real child, that would be more heartbreaking. At least she enjoyed her last days out of a pound and with a family who loved her.
I remembered that Emily actually got excited about a bible verse from Saturday night and she wanted to look it up right away when we got their home. This is what what brought me to feeling better. My thanks to Emily Glassell, where children bring us blessings.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Easter Weekend

Thanks Bro for the comment! Didn't know it had happened to you too! I got a cute kitty card from Sis today. I love it, glad she is doing well. We rented Shark Tale and watched it already tonight. It was an interesting animation. We even tried to rent the Xbox game for it a while back but I could not even pass the 3rd level of Oscar's Dancing routine. After a while you'll get tired of hearing Mc Hammer's "Can't Touch this."
We finally have a clean room in the house! Our guest room in the back in fresh again. Moved the bed and folded it up against the far wall and I put the rest of the stuffed animals on it. We just need to get rid of the excercise bike since it takes up a little corner. For that room it needs to go and the bookcase is still there. We plan on moving it over some to the corner where the bike will be gone and putting an entertainment center in the middle back wall. That way we can move the smaller but still big tv out the way. We are enjoying our 62 inch tv in the living room, lol. I think its that big, it covers almost all the wall just on the side. The bad part is paying off the Circuit City bill which is a working progress.
I start the new job with Milton on April 15th. He finally got back with me and set up a calendar on what days to start training. Guess I'm goaling to get the house organized before that happens. I dont know if Andrew still has his crayola bears but I found mine. One red and one purple. I better run to go see my show Full Metal Alchemist. Also got new uploading to computer so I will be posting them in a while! Already picked out my clothes for tomorows church.

Therapy makes the brain gooshy!

Another quick note. Randy would like some time together. I went to sleep therapy, they are testing in a bedroom settting and they put these round things with wires sticking out of them. Well these thingies were on my legs and all over my head and even a set for a nose peice. Highly uncomfortable. I slept for maybe 5 hours since they came in everyone once in a while to check in. Besides the following day I wound up with a most painful migraine in the areas where they stuck those thingies. I actually became sick and threw up today. Ended up being stuck at Jillian's house for a while, while they had to go to Dave's ALS Graduation that night. I hope they had fun. I chiped in for her new puppy as well. She is very happy with Sasha. Sasha is a Jack Russell and soooo hyper! I just love seeing her happy, she is my new best friend.

Quick notes

Very tired a lot. Been going to gym on mon, wed, and fridays and tried a cardio body aerobics class. So after the first week and working the 2nd week of it, I just tried to stay home wed- fri to recoop. Still didn't too much considering Randy tells me I've been going out every single night practically. I went out to help Jillian to get her some accesories and shoes for her husbands ALS Graduation Celebration coming up. She wanted us to come however we are unable to go, poor Dave had been so busy he kept fogetting to add us to the list. Oh well, I even bought a new dress that was a value of $80, but on sale for $20! That was great, including matching shoes. Perhaps take a shot of it sometime. Maybe Randy will have another celebration thing for the military in the future, surely they will have one!
Anyway, I also went to dinner with Jill and Dave last night. They took me to Chef Lee's and to the mall. It is bad to wear new shoes in heels and trying to break them in. Did it yesterday. Randy wants me to go watch anime to finish up a series tonight. Break time!

Good changes

Well I am done with NHUMC and am moving on with to Broadmoor UMC. My friend Erin is there and so far made a few new friends. Pastor Tom told me that when one moves on to another church it is a mission to fullfill your own spiritual growth. NHUMC did not fill that gap for me and have found a place where I can raise my hands in praise!

New job lined up as well. Waiting to hear about our orders from the military. We don't know if we go or not. We have Hawaii and Japan lined up, we just have to wait. We will hear on the 15th. Otherwise I'm starting at Metro Avionics as a Secretary for 10.50 an hour. Best job I have ever had, Yes! Thank you, Milton!

My friend Jillian and me are into scrapbooking, she is coming over later on tonight to show me some of her new pages. I'd like to make a Best Friends page tonight. My other friends, Laura and Sharon are taking mom (Helen) back to Iowa on Thursday and I will miss Helen. She was the lady I was caretaking for a while. Tonight we may all get together for dinner. Well I better run and get the kids from school for the parents. I miss the Hugga Bunch. ^_^

Added fanlisting today!

Kitty Fanatic

Everyone has a passion for something and I like Cats and kittens a lot! So here are my best shots of my Stinky the Brat Cat, aka Stinky the bombmaker! Patch for short.

New work, good things.

Officially, I now have a new job as of today. I'm being a caretaker basically for a good friends mother at about 8 dollars an hour. It's pretty nice since we know each other and she feels comfortable with me to help. Also a while back I took on another job to go pick up the neighbor-good friend's kids at the school and kid-sit for a while. A good bit of finances come from it too. Since last year though, I've been working at the church as as assistant music director/accompanist. So now my work things are getting better and busier.
It has also been surprising today. I had 3 people ask to see them for interviews, saw 2 of them and declined them all! Those 2 in specific were actually looking into hiring me. The good part is that the last person who interviewed last wants me to work with them since most of the time there are kids who work there. They are wanting adults. So the lady may be hiring me for summer or for when things change on my part.
Im considering opening the old Kitty Clique even though there are many out there now. I may just turn it into a gallery of cuteness, lol. Also I'm considering opening a new fanlisting for a Christian Music Group in specific but dont know who yet. I'm looking into who has already taken who. Well, better run and get some sleep. Night!

Website Ideas

Again I have stayed up till 230 in the morning. Randy's military schedule for mid-shift affects me as well. Nothing much new here. I've definitely decided to make gekkani.com my blog/Joined/Home site where it will be an opener for other places. It will change internally. This way it will introduce what I'd like to create and what has already been made. Instance I have a I Love Kitty clique, I'll post a thumb or medium pic of it to link over. I plan on making a Christian Music clique dedicated to certain bands. Possibly Petra or Rebecca St. James. As of right now, Gekkani is mostly a page layout work in process. It still has its old files, tons of it, most of it will disappear. I will have to learn html better. I would love to get his blogspace to look a little better than large letters and words, lol.

Religion an issue? Or is it where we want to go in life?

Im at a time where I need to dicover where my future is going. I work at the United Methodist Church down the road from where I live as a Music Director for Common Ground Sunday night service. I'm supposed to be getting $200 a month from it and lately the last 2 months I've been seeing $100. Seems like when I go to resolve the issue, someone there just doesn't seem to take it seriously. Besides at this church our main minister is a lady for morning services. She nice and all, however in the past she has made me feel upset several times. Even one time she mananged to get another person in between a situation. I wish I never became a member there and really want to move on. Im staying there right now because of Tom. Our preacher for evening Sunday services. He is a great guy and if I leave I wouldnt know how things would turn out. Besides how I see it, I will always be a Christian not a methodist. I became a born again Christian years ago and I want it to continue in God's path.
Anyway, currently I am still looking for a better place to work, even a reasonable simple job such as the video store down the other way. Well, I've been to 4 different colleges and just cannot seem to finish either. That is an issue dealing with military. When they move you the family goes with you most of the time. Eventually a degree in something would be nice so I could get an even better chance of work at a company. Well I better say goodbye for now, it is almost time to wake up my husband for work. Just glad to get things off my chest sometimes.
