Birthday Fun
Last night was so much fun. I can honestly say that it was the best birhday I've had in a looong time. P came here to get ready and when we came out of my room to leave, Paul looked at her and said, "you look like a man in that tie". She took it as a compliment, god love her! P, my baby, I thought you looked so hot! ;)...and B, in your shirt and tie, delicious ;)
We got to Jungle Jim's and B's friend Amanda (who isn't me! lol) was working. We had a lovely time there and I had my big drink in the bowl glass! Then Amanda and the other JJ's workers sang happy birthday to me...gotta love my burning cheeks! And I swear there were about seven other people there who had their birthday! The employees were singing the whole time we were there it seemed!
B, P, and S are coming here tomorrow night for a little birthday BBQ. We're just going to hang out and eat and most likely drink! I wish it was tonight! It'll be nice to see S again. I haven't seen her in so long.
I went shopping today with mama. I bought so much! But I'm so impressed. I've been doing really good with my diet (though I splurged last night), and I bought a pair of pants that are 3 sizes smaller than I usually buy!!!!! Ohh...I feel so slim and hot these days! (lol) And it doesn't hurt that B always says things that make me feel hot! :) It's part of why I like him so much! *kiss kiss*
Just a couple of days until Terrence comes home. Can't wait to see him. Take care of yourselves everyone. Bye bye for now.
*oh my god, go a little slower/oh my god, what was that again/la da da, let me feel you baby/let me in, cause i understand/let me feel you baby, cause i understand*

Birthday Girl
Here I am, another year older. I actually don't feel 25...that's probably because everyone I've been spending time with lately is much younger than me (lol) They keep me young! B likes to use the joke that I am "dipping my hands in the kiddie pool", but I know he likes it! ;)...And so do I! (lol) And it's so strange that he's younger but looks older and I'm older and look younger! It's all good I suppose!
Mom phoned this morning and woke me up by singing Happy Birthday when I answered the phone! What a cute woman she is. She told me that on the day I was born it was a beautiful day....I wish I could say the same for today! It seems warm but the wind is blowing crazily. Just enough to mess with my hair later!
I'm excited for 7:00-ish to get here. We're going to Jungle Jim's and I really want one of those drinks that come in the huge glass that looks like a bowl! And I'm getting the brownie sundae :) Ohh...bring on the sugar I say! I'll probably be high on sugar as I haven't had much of it in the last month. I'll be bouncing around for sure!
Anyhoo...I must go on. I'm going to laze around in my jammies and watch tv until it's time to get ready to go :) Take care of yourselves. Be happy, I know I am.
*we hope you live to 100. we hope you live to be 100. we hope you live to be 100. 100 years or more...*

*Smile*
The past few days have gone by in a blur. There's so much going on, and I don't know what to talk about first. Yesterday was the Relay for Life walk. It was a great day. Mom was on our team which made it so much better. She's so much fun to have around. I walked all day, got blisters on my feet, and am burned like crazy! Now if only all this redness would turn brown I'd be a happy woman indeed!
B and I went to P's the other night and we went to the playground :) I feel like such a child! I love those swings so much. And if they could talk, eh P? (lol!) That was the best night ever!
Last night my (2) sweets came here after I got home from the cancer walk. Poor B came after he'd been to a party...*kissing your nose*. Don't you just love staying up all night long? There's something so cozy and comfortable about lying awake and just talking and cuddling...and perhaps kissing a little...*smile*
I'm really looking forward to my birthday. Jungle Jim's with my two dates :) (lol) There's nothing that makes a woman feel more wanted than having two dates for her birthday! Especially when one of them will be wearing a red tie..*wink wink*...and then the birthday weekend! I'm excited just thinking about it!
Terrence is coming home next Sunday (July 3) and is bringing his girlfriend. I'm looking forward to meeting her and spending some time with T. I miss him.
So goodnight to you all. Be safe...be happy!
*now here i am startin' over with a new love/he's a real man with a good heart/he's more than enough/laid back and smoothe/with a warm and gentle touch...*

We Belong
I have been having such a good time lately. I feel younger than I am (lol), and I can't even remember the last time I was in this great a mood. Every morning I wake up and I am happy (despite my lack of sleep!). Compared to the last year (when I was so hurt and sad), these past few weeks have been amazing.
I'm so surprised at how feelings can change and how thoughts can change. A few months ago even, I was still so angry and messed up about things, and now I have been able to let so much go. I am even ok with the fact that something I thought I wanted to last forever has ended. Perhaps it was for the best anyway. I can see that now.
I love all the time I've been spending with P. I really miss her when she's living in Town. I went to her house last night and we walked and walked...and talked and talked...and played on the swings in the playground. :) Then we went out for coffee with S.
Yesterday was Mom and Dad's 26th wedding anniversary. I have a great respect for any couple that can stay together for that long. Any couple who has that much patience and love for each other is amazing indeed. I think it's lovely and I hope I will be so lucky.
Take care and be good. Hug someone you care about! :)
*how could this happen to me, i've made my mistakes, got nowhere to run, the night goes on as i'm fading away, i'm sick of this life, i just want to scream, how could this happen to me*

Last Week
The weekend is over again. This is my last week of work and I'm excited and sad. I'm so happy to have a holiday but I don't know what I'm going to do with myself during the daytime. I'm certainly going to miss Rory's hugs and kisses...and singing our songs :)
I had a nice weekend. Went to B's on Friday and watched a movie. It was a lovely night. On Saturday, P and B were supposed to come up, but B got really sick...poor baby. So, P and I hung out and had a great night. Now she's sick too! It seems I'm the only one immune so far! I hope I don't wake up tomorrow morning feeling sick. Just my luck though....!
I'm doing the Relay for Life (cancer walk) again this year. It's on Saturday. Mom's on our team this year. She's going to do the survivor walk. I know I'm going to cry! I'm so glad she was strong enough to beat her cancer. I could never imagine the alternative....
I must be off. Take care of yourselves and be good. Be happy! :)
Oh! I've lost ten pounds!! :) I'm quite impressed. I'm still missing my sweets...but I think I'll live. Now, if only I could get Lynette to stop making those tempting cupcakes! So far I have resisted!
*i want to take in all the beauty here. let the whole world just disappear...life is so sweet, when you lie next to me*

Weekend is almost here!
Tomorrow is the weekend, finally! This week has been so long. It felt like Friday would never get here. It seems the week is so long and boring for me and then the weekend comes and I have so much fun, but it's over much too soon. I'm looking forward to the end of the school year. Maybe I'll have more time to hang out with people :)
I'm going to miss Rory, though. He's the sweetest kid I have ever known. He hugs me more times a day than I can count...and he tells me he loves me and when I say I love you back, he says thank you! I could bite his cheeks. What a cutie.
I went shopping today. First time in 2 weeks!! That's unusual for me ("Miss goes shopping every day")!! I bought a bunch of stuff for my boys. Gotta give them some presents before I leave for the summer. Their mom says I buy too much! lol! Never! I'd buy them more if I knew she wouldn't mind!
The weather is so gross I can hardly stand it. I walk around wrapped in my blanket all the time! And I'm still cold! I'm hoping it warms up by my birthday :)
Talk to you all later. Be safe!
*your lips upon my lips can you envision it...your fingertips on my fingertips...your skin upon my skin would be the sweetest sin*

Don't Know Why
I have absolutely no idea why I'm writing tonight. I have nothing of any importance to say...I'm just feeling bored, I guess. Ugh...there are so many reality shows on the go these days. There's one on now about singers from the past trying to get their career going again. Vanilla Ice is singing now...though I seem to remember his "I don't ever want to be a sell-out again" speech. What the f*** ever man. He said he'd never sing "Ice ice, Baby" again and yet there he is shaking his ass singing...*cookin MC's like a pound of bacon*...What the hell kind of line is that??
I'm sleepy tonight...as I have been for the past few nights. I have a good reason though. I can't seem to get to bed very early! It's all good though. I'm not complaining :)
I love this perpetual feeling of calm. I haven't felt so comfortable and so happy and so good in so long. It only takes one thing to make you feel so low that you don't want to get out of bed...and then it only takes one thing to lift you back up :) And it's nice to be lifted...very, very nice indeed.
I'm off again. Be good everyone.
*but my god it's so beautiful when the boy smiles...wanna hold him but maybe i'll just sing about it*

Good Times
P and B came over again last night. I have the best time with those two. They're such a laugh...espicially B :) We had a few beers and watched "The L Word". That show never gets tired. I could watch it everyday. Anyway, we had a great night.
Chris wrote his police exam last night as well. He said it went very well and I'm so happy for him. He has to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the results though. We'll die of curiousity before then!! I'm sure he did super good though...my little Chris! lol! Mom gave him a kiss good luck and had a little cry for herself--she's such a cutie.
I'm feeling so good these days. Don't you just love it when you're constantly in a good mood?...and everything is going so lovely. Makes me want to dance around a little. Maybe I will later! :) We'll see...
I should mosey on again I suppose. Just a little update tonight. Take care of yourselves...be good!
*if i could only have you near to breathe a sigh or two, i would be happy just to hold the hands i love, on this winter's night with you*

Book Tag
Sheldon book tagged me and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do about it, so I'll just copy what he wrote in his latest blog entry, I guess...
What is the last book you bought?
***The Way the Crow Flies--by Ann Marie MacDonald
I got it at Cole's the last time I was in St. John's
Name five books you really like.
***1. Fall on your Knees--by Ann Marie MacDonald
It's a beautiful story about the complexities of family, and how no matter what, your family is all you have and you love them through the good and the bad.
***2. Odd Thomas--by Dean Koontz
The main character's name really is Odd! He can see spirits and can see things that are going to happen before they actually do. The end made me cry. I just loved it.
***3. White Oleander--by Janet Fitch
Once again, it's about family. I enjoy stories about the troubles of families and how people persevere through troubling times and become better people from their experiences.
***4. If I knew, Don't You Think I'd tell You/I'll Tell You One Damn Thing, and That's All I know--by Jann Arden
I love anything and everything that woman does. She's funny and beautiful and amazing.
***5. The Notebook--by Nicholas Sparks
Beautiful love story. A little unrealistic but nice to think that love could really be that way.
How many books do you own?
***About 150...give or take! I'm addicted to books. I love to buy them and I read so fast that I have to keep getting more and more!
Ok, that's it for me. If I'm supposed to do something else with this book tag thing, Sheldon, let me know!!

Breathe, just breathe
Has anyone heard the song "Breathe(2am)" by Anna Nalick? It's the greatest song. I adore it. I'm enjoying the solitude of the house tonight. Listening to my songs and singing as loud as I want. These times are so few that I feel like I have to take advantage of them. There's always at least one other person in the house with me and when they're all gone I feel like a kid in a candy store. I'm not sure what I should do first! Today I decided to update and sing!
I feel so alive these days. Summer is coming, the weather is warming (sometimes!), and I feel free. Free to do as I please. Free to fall in love again. Free to be whoever I want to be and not be scared of what others will think. To be unafraid of them calling me a hypocrite, or ashamed of myself because I'm not doing or saying what others expect. I haven't been myself in a long time. Moving past the issues of the last year have been difficult but I've emerged triumphant and strong and a better person.
I feel lighter. My heart feels happier, and my memories have faded from the front of my mind. They're stored in the back now, fuzzy and pleasant. I'm feeling great!
Take care of yourselves. Be happy...be content.
*2 am and she calls me cause i'm still awake, can you help me unravel my latest mistake. i don't love him and winter just wasn't my season*

Camping+Flies=Itching!!
I spent the entire weekend with P and B. What a laugh! Friday night we went camping with a few others and it was the best time. The 'flies were wicked' (as Rory would say). Swarms of them. No matter where you went you couldn't escape them! I have so many fly bites...I'm itching all over! We drank and played fuck ups in the tent. Crazy bunch. The weather was decent enough...though you don't mind the cold and sleeping on the ground when you've got someone to cuddle up with ;) Good times, good times.
Last night we went for coffee and then came back here to watch movies. We stayed up until after three and the wierdest, kinkiest shows come on Showcase that late at night. Some I don't ever want to think of again...haha! Though I would like to know where they have those "Strut your Strap On" parties. That looked interesting...
I went for a walk again tonight with mom. I given up all junk food and sweets, and I've been eating waayyy healthier and exercising. I feel really good, but I'm craving a piece of the strawberry shortcake my dad made like nobodies business!! LOL! I can brave it out though. I'm tough!
I should go tidy my room. What a state it's in! I'll be talking to you all later. Take care...be good!! :)
*life doesn't wait for us to get it right, day after night, it just goes on when it goes wrong, it goes and then it's gone. so i'm gonna do my best to make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah, take a breath and realize time is irreversible. this ain't no dress rehearsal*
