Yep, it's been a while since I blogged, I hear the newest craze is facebook? I don't have a clue, but I suppose I coulod talk Kirstie into hooking me up with that. I am finally better.... the last time I wrote I had said that I felt like ass- well guess what? I ended up with pneumona! Now I'm all better and Marc has it! AHHH!!!!!!
So I just read Kirstie's latest blog. WOW! Those were very beautiful things you said about those you love. That's why I love you- when you are being sentimental, you say such wonderful things! I appreciate the fact you recognized my struggles, although I believe in getting through whatever God lays before you, in the best way that you can. I also believe that a lot of the CRAP-OLA that occure while I was in school was nothing more than satan trying to step on my toes and hold me back from where God wanted me to be. Well, guess he din't succeed did he???
So I have to go finish mowing the lawn so I can't stay on here. But I love you Kirstie Rose! YOU are an awesome young woman! Love your Moma!

GRRRRRRRRRR
So I had strep throat a month ago, bronchitus and mono a couple of weeks ago and NOW I feel like barfing and my head is pounding!!!!!!! All I wanted to do today was get ready for Easter, clean my house, walk the dogs, get the laundry done, do some shopping and do a couple 10 minute work-outs; all I've managed to get done is lay on my fat ass in pain! Honest to God- I just want to feel good and I never feel good.
Well, 14 more days and my supervisor is officially done! I am counting down the days until I am the boss! Whew-hoo!!! I have worked a long time for this and am so excited.
So, I know this person who had some drinks and drove her car 19 miles back to her house. I know for a fact she was raised to never drive while intoxicated or ride with someone who has been drinking. I only hope that she will come to her senses at some point and realize what a huge risk she is taking by doing such a thing. I really feel sorry for her family, because if she continues to drink and drive, it will only be a matter of time before they get some horrific phone call in the middle of the night...ewww I shudder to think about it. Or how about the car coming toward her and she hits them head on and ends up in prison for the rest of her life? There is no forgiveness to the drunk driver. Ok, so maybe it won't be something that awful that happens- maybe it will just be as simple as a tail light out, so the cop pulls her over only to discover shes been drinking, and off to jail she goes for 90 days. Good bye job and everything else that requires running around because not having a license for the next 5 years will pretty much keep you home bound. Not to mention the few thousand dollars it will cost in fines and reinstatement fees. Pretty expensive risk to take when the solution is so simple- SPEND THE DAMN NIGHT OR CALL FOR A RIDE FROM A SOBER PERSON!!!!!!!! I know it appears that I am on some soap box, but man... that's just immature, irresponsible and plain down right stupid. If you all know people who do this, please talk to them about how serious the consequences can be. ANY amount of alcohol impairs your ability and NO ONE is exempt from that fact. Just caring about this person and worried for her.

Saturday
Ok, so it's Saturday morning and I'm sure you are all still fast asleep. I hate the fact the once I'm awake, I'm awake and can't go back to sleep. So Tish and I went to the movies yesterday to see Haunting in Conn. (I don't know how to spell it, so I'll assume you know the one I'm talking about). It was pretty good, more gross than anything, but freaky to think that actually happened to someone! So tonight I am supposed to be going to a "Girl's Night In" party at one of my co-worker's homes. She lives far enough away that I'll have to spend the night (her name is Karen). How come I get all pumped up to go do stuff like that and then when it comes time to go, I don't really want to? I don't NOT want to be part of the fun, but I just get weird about actually following through. If I don't go, I'll be the one they talk about all night, if I do go, I'll get sick of them talking about people and I'll be in the middle of no where, with a buzz from the wine I will be drinking, and won't be able to leave. Maybe that's it, maybe it's that whole idea of being stuck, trapped, no out....??? Who knows. I'm feeling phobic all of the sudden. I guess I should just save face and look at it as "fun with the girls" but, ah hell, I don't know. I guess I'm just going to force myself to go and face the fact I won't be sleeping in my own bed with my man wrapped all aound me. Maybe she'll have a big stuffed animal! Ha!
So why have none of you been blogging? I feel like I'm talking to my damn self here. By the way, I'd like to thank you all for informing me of how to be a follower, NOT! I still don't get it. I guess I'll have to wait for KR to be un-sick and have nothing better to do than come and hang out with "The Parent's" so she can set me up with stalking all of you. Why do these site's have to make everything so difficult? Well I guess I'll go vacuum or something. Hope to be reading something new at some point... ta-ta til then!

Loves a Hard Game to Play
Wake up my sweet child, there's something I've got to say to you tonight
It's time you took a look at me, cause there's so much more to me than meets the eye
Well there's more to love than makin' time
The harder you look the more you'll find
It's never easy no matter what they say
Love's a hard game to play
The heart's the price you pay
Love's a hard game to play
No matter what they say
Win or lose, no matter what they say
Love's a hard game to play.
The problem here is not my fear
The trouble is you can't convince yourself
For tonight, let's lose the past
Make love last
Put our worries up on the shelf
We've been through thick and thin, and back again
And we can endure love's sweet pain
Remember, starting the fire is easy
The hardest part is learning how to keep the flame
Love's like walking a real fine line
You get too close, you'll go blind
Let go too long and will all drift away
Love's a hard game to play
The heart's the price you pay
Love's a hard game to play
No matter what they say
Win or lose, no matter what they say
Love's a hard game to play
Just when I feel I'm losing you
I hear them voices call
They say it's better to have lost at love
Than never to have loved at all
Lose or win, stand or fall
Love's a hard game to play
(Stevie Nicks)

HELP!
Ok so I've been bouncing around on this site and cannot figure out how to "follow" someone. Gotta tell you, it has a kin of "STALKER" sense about it! Anyway- can someone help me to be a follower since you guys are following me....Stalkers!
Jordan, I just read your blogs- #1 you're so damn cute: #2 I'm glad your pumped about being back at your mom's and that things between the two of you are going good: #3 you will get as much of this life figured out as the rest of us, so know that, once you think you have it all figured out, it will change!!! :) You're doing good by the sounds of things, so hang in there. Stop by sometime and say hey! P.S. All mom's (except mine) want their babies to move back home. When you talked about your mom being stoked about you girls going to dinner with her and then to watch Mirrors (which I loved!), I REALLY felt her excitement!!! I love to do things with my daughters like that. We don't get to very often because we are all broke- but when any opportunity arises, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!

Another day, another $
So here it is, 3:38 AM, and I've already been up for an hour. Why the hell can't I sleep?? My doctor gave me prescriptions to help me sleep, but if I take the whole damn dose, I can't wake up. Man- this blows!
Well today is St. Patty's Day- woo-hoo! Many of my co-workers are going to Cleveland today for the St. Patrick's Day parade. I hear that gets pretty wild. I guess it's Ohio's rendition of Mardi gra! Whatever, too many people, lot's of traffic, high crime city- they can have it! I prefer a quiet beach where serenity is all around me and people and action are far, far away!
One of my dogs is sick, Gracie- still dealing with issues from her surgery (spade) two weeks ago. I called the vet again yesterday and will be taking her back up to be checked out for the 4th time. Poor girl- she's having a hard time pooping and I think bearing down with an incision that is not healed is causing her a great deal of pain. I feel bad for her. But the vet was pretty cool (NOT Byland, but East Holmes Vet in Berlin). They said if she got any worse before Thursday's appointment, to call them and they would come here to see her. I might have to take them up on that. So keep your fingers crossed that she will be ok, and soon.
Today marks the first official day that I am not allowed to practice professionally, until I hear from the state. My Professional Counselor's license expired at midnight, and the board does not meet until Friday. So I get to go to work and sit with my thumb straight up my bum and wait. But! When it comes, I will be a Professional CLINICAL Counselor. And since I've worked so hard to get to where I am, let me blow my own horn and say- I can diagnose like nobody's business! When I took my test, I did not miss one diagnoses. So rest assured, if I tell you that you have a problem, you should probably take me seriously and go get it checked out! HAHA!! Nah, I would be hard-pressed to diagnose people I know- it's a big NO-NO! Anyway- my name will look like this: VP(you know my name), MA CPC, LPCC- and when I get my Supervisors status, which will be in another YEAR!!!!!!! I will have an "-S" after those letters up there. Cool huh? Yes it is, considering it took a total of 9 1/2 years to get those letters. (10 1/2 years by the time I get the magical "S") Marc wanted me to go for my Ph.D- yea right! They give you up to 10 years to complete it- no thanks! Too many statistics involved and too little patience on my part- NOT. The ONLY thing a Ph.D can do that I can't is prescribe medication- and that is pretty much ALL they do. Ten minutes from the time you walk in the door until you walk out, and they have handed you a fist full of zombie pills and they just made up to $140!!!!!! That would be nice- but I don't appreciate their ethical standards (or lack there of) so I think I'll stick to what I do best and help people verbally.
I suppose I am boring the crap out of you- but I guess I'm really writing a Dear Diary segment today and it feels kind of cool. Like venting! So I suppose I have bla-bla-bla'ed enough and should let you all go do your thing. Thanks for stopping by... Love ya!

blah
Hello....So I am home sick. Yuk! Went to the doctor today and ended up with 5 prescriptions. Said I had strep throat and something brewing in my lungs. So he gave me the day off tomorrow too. Not a bad deal, but I get bored staying home. So not much else is new.
Been trying to get ahold of my cousin Tommy for weeks with no luck. No phone call returns, no Yahoo gabbing, no emailing, NO CLUE! Hoping everthing is alright there, but I don't know.
So Byron texted me today to say that his Tiffany wanted me to have a Mary Kay party. Sorry, but no can do. A girl I work with sells it and I can't be a trader. I think MK is over priced anyway.
So anything new out there?? Hows school going Jordan girl? Haven't seen you in so long I probably wouldn't recognize you. Kidding, I couldn't forget you!
Well, I guess I won't sit on here and blah, blah, blah with nothing really to say. But, just wanted to let you know I was sick in case you wanted to send flowers or something!
