That's Gpa and Dad (with Jo in the background). This was taken Easter 2008 which was also my Gpa's 77th birthday. Its a goofy picture because I'm sitting on the floor so the angle is goofy, plus ALL that sunlight coming in. The windows you can see are about 1/4 the windows on the back side of my cool grandparents house.

God is love.

That's the "World's largest firetruck" or something like that. This picture was taken at the Woodward Dream Cruise which is one of the largest car events in the world. This firetruck was sitting outside of the Royal Oak Fire Station, where my cousin works. Good times.

God is love.

That's Jax. I spent at least one day a week babysitting him most of last year (once my health was okay after I lost my job) and we usually ended up at the park.

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!

I know I am 3 days behind on the POTD (again)...but I'm busy and haven't been home a ton.

Friday at the drag strip, Dad & I had a great time. I was annoyed that Dad was to tired to stay until it was over, but I understand.

Saturday, I went to visit JJ & family in the early afternoon, then it was onto Baby Girl's FIRST birthday party. Had a GREAT time there.

Sunday, my friend and I just chilled. Monday, I did a ton of running around, getting very little accomplished.

Today was laundry & softball.

Tomorrow is shopping with Shell and Church...Thursday is softball, Friday is blah blah blah...BUSY.

Have I mentioned Red on here lately? :-) Not much time for Red which is kinda crappy but at least we see each other at softball, golf, and Church.

God is love.

That's Me, Shell, and Butt. This photo was taken at Butt's youngest brother's wedding. Shell is about 16 weeks knocked up with Baby Girl in this photo. Shell, Butt, and I have known each other since middle school, been good friends LOTS of years now.

God is love.

I will be posting today's POTD shortly, because I have no idea what today holds...and same with the next few days.

In theory, I'm leaving at noon today to go with my Dad to the drag strip for the day...then get home about midnight, and back out the door in the AM to celebrate birthdays galore and who knows about Sunday.

I've had a lingering headache since about 11am, while at the gym...and NOTHING is budging it. Ugh.

God is love.

That's TOY and JM wrestling around on the trampoline while Jax crawls around...and they did a good job of not messing with Jax. TOY and JM wrestle for real...none of that play nice gig. It was Jax first time on a trampoline. He was so cute. He crawled all over and laughed and laugh!

God is love.

That's Mom, Dad, and Jo standing outside of Cool Grandparents house. Dad was leaving to go golfing with his bowling league. Yes, you read that right. After they golfed, it was cool cause a bunch of family came by for dinner. Yes, Dad's family bowls, golfs, and hangs out together on a regular basis. (Cousin that I've been spending so much time with lately is part of this family)

God is love.

Blogger is pissing me off!

I tried to post a few times lately...but it wasn't working.

So, I just posted via email, which I haven't done in ages, and that didn't show up either.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

God is love.

**Update...I guess it did work via email, it just took longer then I thought it should**

Blogger isn't working to well right now, I'm posting this via email.

I know I skipped the POTD yesterday, I was busy and then when I had time Blogger wasn't working for me.

I'm emotional lately, not to depressed...just emotional.

Some financial things are working out amazingly.  Now if a job could just follow suit that would be great.

I hung out with my cousin yesterday.  He's technically like my 29th cousin or something.  ;-)  (So really, he's my first cousin once removed or commonly called my 2nd cousin)  He's 21 and lives pretty close (compared to most of my friends).  We've gotten really close the past 6 months.  I enjoy every second I spend with him, I can be myself, I can tell him anything, and he gets it!  He's transferring from a community college to an away University in a few weeks.  Instead of being 20 minutes away, he'll be about 1.5 hours away (in 100% OPPOSITE direction of all my friends).  I'm going to miss him.  It sucks that we get close and he's leaving.  He was looking at a university many states away, so I'm glad he'll be closer then that.  Last night, I went to his concert/picnic.  He sings in a barbershop choir and/or quartet.  It was great!  There were groups from all over Michigan there and it was kind of sad that 99% of the men were over 50 (probably 99% over 65).  Barbershop music is dying and that's sad.  Now, I couldn't listen to Barbershop music all day every day, its just cool.  This cousin is truly the first family member (other then Jo, but that's over now) that I can gladly say is my cousin and friend!  :-)  That makes me so happy I could cry.

My Mom has been on my case lately about not liking my family.  Whatever.  I love them but they aren't the type of people I would choose to hang out with.  Call me a prude, whatever.  I don't hang out with people 1) that do drugs  2) that I don't trust  3) that I have nothing in common with.

God is love.

That's my nephew JM, taking a swig of water between plays. It was his first game of the year and his team won. Did I mention it was HOT? Like 90+ degrees.

That's my with Jo in the background. This was taken at the Tigers game, after I played in a softball tournament all day. I was exhausted to say the least and there was a bi*ch sitting right behind me. Fun times.

That's my cool Gpa. His 77th birthday fell on Easter, which worked out very well, so my parents, Jo, ad I got to be there for it. To be 78 (now) he's in great shape and health. He's one of the best people on the planet, smart, and funny too! The cake he has in this photo Gma made & I decorated it.

God is love.

I don't feel well. I don't feel super sick, but just not well. Its not my GI issues, (which were a slight problem Friday and early Saturday, but have been resulted.) I have a lingering headache, my stomach feels bloated or something, and just generally, I feel yucky...like I got ran over by a train. Could be because I've been on the run non-stop for a few days, which I am NOT used to or could be because I've been in the sun more then I'm used to or could be because I haven't ate/drank well lately, or could be I'm just ill. ;-)

I had a few other things to blog about, but I don't know what it was.

I actually just loaded this picture onto my digital frame today. This was taken Thursday after we were let out of Home Depot when the tornado warning was over. Notice the countless plants/trees knocked down. Scary times. BTW...Home Depot on a back up generator is a scary place to be.

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.

Since early May, I've been doing very good at not biting my nails at all...until lately. :-( I know I can do it now, so...I just have to get back on track.

I've been gone (and BUSY) since Wednesday morning. Wednesday, I met Steph at the bridal shop and picked up my dress for Roomie's wedding. My dress fit great, almost loose. I'll take it. :-) Steph's dress they are having to let the top out some. I wish I had that rack-tastic problem. Then I went to lunch with Shell & baby girl, then to her in-laws (my friend's parents), then to the Detroit Fireworks, HAD a great time and an awesome show. Thursday, my friend and I went shopping for random strange stuff (none of which we bought), got stuck inside of Home Depot as a huge nasty storm (possible tornado) whipped thru out of NO WHERE. Damage was crazy all over. Friday, I went with Shell to get Baby Girl's one year pictures done. FUN. Baby Girl doesn't take a bad picture. Then Shell and I went to Mt Clemens fireworks. It was nice because we got to sit in a family only area since J is a boat cop (that's not his technical title, but that's what I call him). This morning, I got up and was at Roomie's house early to go to her dress fitting. Got home and edited some pictures, added some songs to my MP3 player. Now, I'm RELAXING.

God is love.

That's Roomie in the center, with her fiance on her left and her brother-in-law (one of the groomsmen) on the right, taken at her wedding shower. Roomie and I went for dressing fitting. Its getting SO real.

I am VERY sad about Michael Jackson's death. I almost cried when I found out (via text message from one of my best buds).

I am VERY angry with people that can't grasp the innocent until proven guilty thing we have in the great USA. Michael Jackson was NEVER found guilty of a crime (regarding Children/sex), so stop convicting him of one in his death.

I am also sad about Farrah Fawcett's passing, and how its being overshadowed by Michael Jackson's death.

God is love.

That's my adorable nephew TOY. This photo was taken after his football game (he already has his pads off), while watching JM's game. One of the things I love the most about TOY is how much he loves his brothers, cheers for them, does nice things for them, always tries to help them, but don't worry...they are still brothers and fight. And yes, my (then) 10 year old nephew plays tackle football. He's tough.

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.

I'll be posting today's POTD shortly, but its VERY likely I will get behind for a day or 4. I'm leaving here shortly and could be back tomorrow, or Saturday, or ...

Shell & I are doing the Detroit Fireworks tonight and Mt Clemens on Friday. YAY! We love fireworks.

I'm picking up my bridesmaid dress today. Pray that it fits.

That's the scoreboard of Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. I took this picture the day of the 2008 Stanley Cup Champion Parade. The Detroit Tigers & Detroit Red Wings have the same owner. You can see the scoreboard as you are walking on the road and we were parked right next to the ballpark. Jo, my friend, and I went to the parade together. It was the first Stanley Cup parade Jo & my friend went to (they've won 4 in our lifetimes), it was my 3rd. We had a blast, even if I was babysat like no other since I was still having major GI issues.

God is love.

I'm beyond FURIOUS, disappointed, angry, and upset right now.

...with my little sister.

I can't even put it into words right now.

I am in no way innocent and have made plenty of mistakes in my 29+ years of life. But seriously...FUCKING IRATE right now.

Washing my hands with Jo.

God is love.

Jon & Kate Gosselin of the TV show "Jon & Kate plus 8" announced their divorce last night. While, not a shock, doesn't make me any less annoyed, sad, mad. Yes, I know its just a TV show...but these are 10 lives we are talking about here. I've been pretty outspoken about my anti-divorce stance in the past, and that's not changing any time soon. I know my strong anti-divorce ideas are just in my head since I've never been married, but I do know that my stance makes the thought of getting married even more scary for me. Of course, there are times when I think divorces are warranted but at the same time, the marriage shouldn't have taken place in the first place. I want to live in a God loving Christian utopia which I know will never happen. Free will can be a bitch.

Mom isn't doing to well today. Annoying and sad. This to shall pass.

I have this strange OCD habit of reading the obituaries daily. Today, I read that one of ST's cousins passed away. I'm sad. She was a nice girl, but was born with health problems. I can't imagine the pain her mother is going through right now.

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.

That's my dear friend Steph. This photo was taken at Roomie's wedding shower. The entire bridal party (including myself & Steph) was outside in the gardens taking photos. I loved Steph's dress. Its cool how life works. I met Steph thru Shell and now Roomie thru Steph.

God is love.

This is my 1,507th post. Wow. My blog is almost 5 years old.

I should be at the gym, but I'm waiting to see if Mom's health improves for her to go with me. Plus, I just don't feel like going right now. I slept terribly and that GREATLY affects my mental health.

I noticed a few times yesterday that I am entering a depression rut. So much of it goes back to 1) being single 2) being unemployed 3) my anxiety, social phobic issues.

I decided I need a horse, now if I only had the money.

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!
