Apologies On Napkins

Camp fun continues!

She Drives Me Crazy

The camping trip with my friend's cousins went well. We all had a good time. We stopped by my cool grandparent's house on the way home and it was great to visit with them too.

We are heading out to go bowling with Shell, J, & some others tonight.

My friend is downstairs napping at the moment. He's just so cute. I just love to watch him sleep. Every morning when I wake up next to him, I realize that I'm the luckiest girl. He's just so sweet, the way he always thinks about others, the way he holds me when I cry...just because I want to cry. Roe was asking me today if I was engaged yet & I just laughed at her. I'm so happy with how things are right now. It works for US. I was telling my Mom & Aunt today that if I could only get him to be on time...he'd be perfect. My Mom asked if he was late like JJ...and I was like "He's 10 times worse." Mom's answer..."Oh sh*t. You are going to kill him yet." But I love him!

Gma hasn't been doing that well. We will know more next Tuesday. I hate being everyones favorite sometimes. I wish I knew how to say NO to people.

I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow. I've got Tim & Faith pictures, camping pictures, Cincinnati pictures. Pictures galore...just call me the picture whore. ;-)

God is love!

Wherever We Go

For starters...I can put titles in again. YAY!

Yes, I'm ALIVE. BUSY BUSY BUSY!

Soul 2 Soul 2007. My boyfriend pulled thru for me in a big way. I was stressed & he managed to make my night very enjoyable! Taylor Swift opened. She was GREAT! Tim & Faith were good! Faith was GREAT. Tim was good. Tim didn't play to many of my favorites (0lder songs)...so I was a little let down. But all in all, it was GREAT. I definitly feel like we got our $$ worth!

Last weekend, I took off to Cincinnati to visit ST & hit Kings Island. Had a good time with ST, had a good time at Kings Island.

This weekend we are going up north to go camping with my friend's cousins. Shall be interesting.

I've got some emotional garbage I'm dealing with which is turning out to be rougher then I thought! I thought I was over things...but no. Apparently I'll always carry some pain from the abusive relationship I dealt with & from the abuse that some family members have been thru.

Life's busy...enjoy the ride.

God is love!

Still no titles...

Tomorrow is Tim & Faith!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOO!! Just heard Taylor Swift is the opener. Very cool!

God is love!

So, it still won't let me put a title on this post. I just wasted 5 minutes looking for one...and I can't even use it. ERRRRR. Oh well.

I can't believe in my last post, I forgot to blog about FRIDAY! That was the entire reason I tried to blog yesterday.

Well...here is the Friday scoop. I hate having panic attacks! I hate being social-phobic! I hate feeling like I pissed everyone off. I hate feeling like those I care the most about HATE me!

ST was in town. I met up with him & some of his friends at a resturant/bar. Was having a good time & it was GREAT to see him. Then, I just started panicing. I started crying & was struggling to breathe & my heart was POUNDING. So, I walked out. Blah blah blah. It wasn't pretty. I feel like a real jack&ss for my meltdown. I can't pinpoint what the real problem but I know what some of the issues were & I guess that's the first step.

ST & I exchanged a few text messages yesterday (okay, I sent him about 10...he sent me 1). I hate feeling like he's upset with me. It is what it is. He knows me.

I wish I could go into some of the detail of WHAT my issues were on Friday...but I'll keep those to myself. I just hate people sometimes. If I could live in my house & never have to deal with anyone outside of my close knit group...life would be great!

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

I tried to post yesterday morning, but either my computer or blogger was being stupid & I didn't have time to deal with it. ERRRRRRRRR! It won't let me put in a title still.

I believe the last time I posted, I was talking about being SUPER EXCITED about Shell & J having a baby. I couldn't post details about the situation because I'm not sure if my friend reads here or not & he didn't know any details yet & I didn't want to be the weak link.

WELL...Shell & J are having a baby, due Feb 22. Turns out that my friend's sister & her husband are having a baby also...She's due Jan 18. YAY! Babies, babies, babies everywhere!

4th of July was fun. Had a BBQ at my friend's parents house. Its very cool because the park that does the county fireworks is right behind their house. It was nice not having to deal with crowds & port-a-potties!

Yesterday, I got the joy of dealing with my family. JM had a HUGE baseball tournament. I didn't make it for the 1st game...but got there for the next 2. I was glad for JM, he had a nice crowd show up. If I can count correctly...he had 13 people there. They are playing again today, but I'm not heading up there. The 3rd game...my nephew rocked!!! He had a triple to start the game (he was batting lead off), ended up scoring. 2nd time up to bat...bases loaded. Hits a double to clear the bases & grab 3 RBI's! They moved him from 3rd base to shortstop mid-inning...and he made 2 put-outs in that very inning. Yes, my nephew is cool.

Today, I have no real plans. How nice!

God is love!

For Future Generations

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXCITED might be an understatement!!!!

My dearest friends, Shell & J, are having a baby!!!! Little D is due to arrive in Feb of 2008. I couldn't tell you when I've ever been SO excited for a family, for a baby. Little D's got winners for parents, grandparents, and uncles!

Saturday night, after we left the party, I told my friend that Shell was pregnant. Shell didn't even know yet, but I just KNEW. Freaky.

My friend isn't as excited as I am...but I'm sure the idea will grow on him.

Now, the selfish crappy part of Princess T, is a little jealous and blah about Shell & J having a baby. I want babies of my own. Plus, Shell is my best go out with friend. Everything is going to be different. BUT...whatever...I am EXCITED! Baby! Let's go shopping! Of course, I want Shell to produce a little baby girl...but another boy into the world works well too.

More to come...

God is love!

Stand In The Rain

People piss me off. I piss myself off. I haven't slept more then 2 hours straight in 3 days...and all week really, my sleep has just been off. Its catching up with me and my mood sucks. Everyone is just making me mad. Add on that I've ate 2 pieces of toast today...and lets just say I'm a real GEM.

I'm in the process of organizing pictures, so I can upload them & get them printed. Blah. I don't want to do it! BUT I want to scrapbook...so it must get done!

God is love!

Walking Her Home

I slack at blogging so bad lately. Seems when I have time, I have nothing to blog about. When I have stuff to blog about, there is NO time.

Its been a really good week. Wednesday night, Shell, Butt, a friend of Butt's, & myself went downtown to the Detroit fireworks. We've been doing it for a couple years...so we have a plan & it always works well. A good time was had by all.

I took Thursday off, knowing Wednesday would be a long day & late night. My friend was on vacation all week, so it was nice to have a day to spend together. We went to lunch & other then that, didn't do much of anything.

Friday, my friend got me a surprise. He's SO sweet & adorable. I now have high definition cable WITH a DVR!!!!!!!!!! You have NO IDEA how excited I am! I got home & he was buried in cables, wires, & cords behind the entertainment unit & was asking me to hand him this & that. I didn't know what he was doing. When he told me, it was so cute. He was like "This is all for you."

Friday continued to go well. We actually went on a DATE. We went to dinner (Boston's...it was GREAT), then real quick to Kohl's, then to Mt Clemens fireworks. There was supposed to be a group going to The Clem fireworks, but it didn't work out...so it was just us. I enjoyed myself a ton.

Then yesterday, my friend's friends had their annual huge BBQ/Fireworks party. I finally have met the great majority of his friends. Had a good time there too. Everyone was really friendly. When we first got there, one of the girls took me around and showed me all the important things...beer, water, soda, food, bathroom. Then at that point, Shell & J got there...making my life all the easier. Of course, Princess T is a picky eater & there was VERY little I'd eat. So I couldn't drink alot (beer #2 was starting to hit me hard!). We stopped at Big Boys on the way home, so I didn't have to kill anyone.

Today, I might be heading north, to a town just past my parents. One of my friends is in the Army. He just returned home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. So, he's in town for a little bit & his wife has decided to have a BBQ. I haven't seen friend & wife since this time last year & haven't met their daughter yet (she's 8 months old).

I broke down to my parents yesterday about something that had really been bugging me. I was doing my best to keep it in, but when my dad called me out on it...I couldn't lie. My parents & I have always had this "Don't ask, don't tell" policy...but the minute they ASK me something, I can't/won't LIE to them. It works well really. I just hope things get worked out soon. I just want to shake some people & wake them up...but yeah...people have to learn from their own mistakes.

Life is good...for now.

God is love!
