TN, Interview, and More

So I just returned from one of my interviews for graduate school. I am soo glad it is over. I admit I was nervous about it as everyone who had done theirs before me told me how intimidating they were and such. Well I agree they were intimidating and they tried very hard to break me, but what they failed to realize is that my family is nothing but a bunch of dominate rednecks and these interviewers had nothing on them. So overall I think I did well. The poor girl after me came out almost in tears, because apparently she said the wrong thing and pissed them all off. Such is life.


Anyways I just wanted to throw out there that Chris (Devil Inside) and I will be taking a lovely road trip up to Tennessee in December. I got invited for an interview up there for a different graduate school I applied to. We will be in McKenzie for the interview and will be hopping over to Adams to visit the Bell witch and of course stopping by Nashville to see the lovely Burst My Bubble. Yeah!!! So if anyone is along the way and want us to stop by and say HI!, just let me know. I would love to meet any of you.


Also the second part to the other short story I have been working on is up for those who care to read it. Like I said before this is out of my normal realm in writing, but I needed to try something new.

Hope you all have a great rest of your day!!

I Forgotted

I had gotten a little busy this week and forgot to tell you all that I had started a new story on The Blue Doodle. It is not my normal genre, but I thought it would be nice to throw myself out of my comfort zone in my writing to make me a more well rounded writer. The first part is up for a while longer today, so take the time to check it out. If you have any comments or suggestions email them to me. I am not allowing for comments, because I don't have the time to respond.

Thanks to those who have always shown me support in my writing. I don't think I tell you that enough.

Enjoy your weekend.

Boyscout Camping Part 1

I know I made a promise, but once again I have to push it off for one more day. I did however remember a promise for pictures from our boyscout trip. Here are just a few..some are not that great, but that was because my son was the photographer on a few. I had to break them up and do it in two parts so you will get the rest tomorrow.


Oh and don't get your hopes up...I am in none of these. lol I don't like to get my picture taken as it is...so I wasn't about to get one done in my camping attire after a long morning of lab class. Enjoy and Happy Tuesday and all that stuff.

My son is in the blue shirt they are playing some type of pass the pole game. My daughter is also in there playing with her broken arm.

This shit right here pissed me off. The leader was across the road in the next camp site and he was over there putting an air mattress in his tent. I think the anger came from the fact that I knew I had to sleep on the hard ground.

My daughter who fought with me for about 10 minutes about not getting her picture taken.

This isn't that great of a picture, but those long green pole things are actually the bamboo that was everywhere when we went on our freakin 2 mile hike.

More hiking.

This is the historic town that is in the middle of the park we were camping at.

Well that's it for today. More to come tomorrow.

Yeah Yeah

Howdy Howdy…….


I know that last Friday I had mentioned I would share today some good news and a funny thing that happened to me, but well my bitchiness is still surrounding me and I don't feel like sharing today. Plus I was literally holed up in my room the entire weekend and didn't have time to get the pictures to the computer.


You should have seen it. It was sad and pathetic….I typed…I wrote….I learned….and tried with all my might to shove in a few Chem equations in to my head and boy howdy I tell you what I am shot. I didn't get any sleep. All I ate the whole weekend was a bowl of fried rice and a corn dog (which was gross). And not to mention my poor kids….granted they weren't home the whole weekend, but what little time they were their…I could barely spare a few minutes for them without screwing myself up.


Granted my kids know what I am doing and how hard it is and are very empathetic to it, but I still feel like shit. Anytime they came knocking on the door and I looked up at them they looked at me like I had Rabies or something. Ya know foaming at the mouth. Anytoot, since I just managed to spill soda down the front of my scrub top….I shall end it here. I will share the joy with you all tomorrow, with pictures to go along…I promise. I swear.

HEY LADY...YOU GOT THE LOVE I NEED....

Maybe, more than enough.
Oh Darling Darling Darling, walk a while with me
Oh you've got so much......

Many times I've loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing
Many many men can't see the open road.

Many is a word that only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing you really ought to know, ooh!
You really ought to know......


Sorry I just love that song. Anyways, what do I want to say……

I just had the funniest thing happen to me. Although as flattering as it was......it is just too damn funny. I also have some good news about at least one good thing that came out of the effin craptastic event a few days ago......but I am a bitch and you all have to wait until Monday to hear about it. So sorry Charlie.


Also thanks you all so very very much for your love and support over the last few days. I have divulged a little bit here and there to a few of you of what went on, but even then I couldn't fully express or tell everything that went on or I would have been on the phone for hours.


I can say though that my angst was the culmination of two negative things hitting me simultaneously. One was myspace related and the other one affected Chris, the kids and I badly. I can honestly say it rocked and shook our world the hell up in a matter of minutes. All because of a few lies that were told and a few devious behaviors that were done.


Once again thank you very much for the love and just an FYI......I heard you shouldn't eat bad hotdogs......they could actually give you botulism or you could freak out and think you have botulism and then tell me about and make me laugh so hard I almost pee. Not mentioning names......you know who you are.


Anyhoot......Have a great weekend.

I'm Out

Deceit is such an ugly thing. What people fail to realize is that once you take that road, many things are lost and you can never go back. Because with it follows distrust, loss of respect, and feelings of hurt that take a very long time to heal.


My heart is hurting right now for that specific reason and so is Chris'. His more so than mine. Something has happened of which I will not divulge details, but I am walking away from this cyber reality for a while until I can find a way to help heal what someone has done. You guys have my number if you need me. I don't want your sympathy or anything like that. If anyone needs anyone right now it is Chris' aka Devil Inside.


He decided to share a bit of himself today which he doesn't do very often. Take the time to read and show him support. He really does need it. It is times like this you learn who your friends are and who is not.


Loves

My Head Hurts

This weekend was odd to me for many reasons. I don't know why, but it is as if I was stuck in contemplation. Thinking about and over-analyzing the shit out of everything. (It's got to be the damn Dawson's Creek marathon).

Anyways….Friday and Saturday I was sick….so lots of time in bed. Time to think.

Sunday afternoon I spent trying, and I reiterate the word trying, to help Chris fix my car. After hemorrhaging what seemed like enough money to feed a small country for parts last week, I was fortunate enought to have Chris to be able to fix my broken pain in the ass vehicle for me. I did what I could, but he needed help that required the strength of a full grown man, not the strength of a 110 pound woman, and so one of the things is still yet to be fixed. I tried my ass off, it just wasn't something I could do. I feel bad because he spent the whole day working on it and it is not done. I also feel really sore today, because of all the pushing and pulling and junk like that and I still have nasty ass grease in my finger nails which I am not to thrilled about. (What I can't help it a tool was dropped down into the engine and landed in a big ass pile of grease and that shit just wouldn't come off!)

Anyways I have a point, really I do. It got me to thinking. Life can really be so effin difficult sometimes. You know….we have the parts to fix what is broken and many tools at our disposal, but life just doesn't always cooperate and allow you to change out the old parts for the new. I don't get it. Of course there are a lot of things I don't get lately. I think I just need some more rest and a good weekly 5 minute shock therapy treatment at the local looney bin.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

(To those that have shitty things going on right now….I am sorry and hang in there. I know I don't always get to be there for ya, but that doesn't mean I don't care. You are in my thoughts.)

My New Pets

Check out my cute little fishies. It is the best when you poke them in the head. They freak out. Don't judge me...I am tired and under a lot of stress lately. It seems the simplest things amuse me. Hope you all have a great weekend.

For those that want their own fishies.....

Next Part

I don't really have much of anything to say today, but I needed to post this link.

The next parts to The Novel Write Off are up and since I razzed Amy for the last week about not writing hers, I figure I should at least call atention to the fact that they are up. Amy's is really good this week. Seriously.

Click below to read:

Also just a forewarning, my demeanor today is not the best one, so please do not post the nicey nicey comments stating that you have read the next part or that you are going to read it if you haven't or do not intend to. I tend to be able to see through those comments and I just don't feel like dealing with that today. I much rather need the honesty. I do realize that the write off does not peak everyones interest, but I do not hold ill feelings for those whom it doesn't. So instead of the play nicey crap.........tell me something great that happened to you this weekend or recently. Tell me anything interesting.

A big fat cookie goes to the one that can actually bring a smile to my face.

Randomness Inside

My mind is pretty damn full this morning. There are so many random things jumping around up there that I am afraid I am going to get a headache. Also just to warn you….my ADD blogging meds haven't kicked in yet, so good luck getting through all this without being confused.


~Chris and I were talking about karma last week after watching My Name Is Earl. I told him that karma is either being extremely selfish lately or it just doesn't exist. Well a day or two later he went to go run an errand and there was a cop on the side of the road in the ditch. For some reason Chris pulls over and ask the cop if he wanted him to tow him out. Apparently the cop was responding to a robbery down the road and when he flipped a bitch he went too far in the ditch and got stuck. The cop thankfully accepted his offer and Chris pulled him out. After he was done he called me and told me about it and jokingly told me that good karma should be coming his way cuz he did a really good deed. The shitbag won $100 from the radio station yesterday.


~Last night I did something that was really out of character for me. I don't know if I was just looking for an excuse to not do sociology homework or what, but I entered into the Survivor Blog thingy on http://www.dale-network.com/. We are given a topic and then we write about it and then people get to vote us off. As most of you know I do not participate in these kinds of things, because it usually turns into a big flippin mess. But I figured since it had absolutely nothing to do with myspace….it might not be that bad. The topic is "Most Embarrassing Moments in Dating" and it will be posted this Friday. I will post the link then and the you can check it out and hopefully not vote me out.


~I have decided to give my car a new name. She will now be referred to as the bitch ass money guzzling whore. Pardon my French. I know she is old and has been through some rough patches and I have always stuck by her through sickness and health. Always getting her the care that she needed. Okay so honestly I think I may have let a few oil changes go to long, but who doesn't. Well Friday she just couldn't muster the energy to get herself started. So Chris goes and gets a battery for her and puts it in. We thought that she was cured, because she started right up and got me home. Sunday I leave to go to the store and I get to the gas station, pump the gas, try to start the car and…….nothing. She doesn't want to start. We even tried jumping it. No such luck. She gets her sickly ass towed home and then Monday gets her alternator checked…still good and her starter checked…froze up. So a new starter is installed and annoyingly enough she will still not start. There are a few other things that it could possibly be, but right now I am so mad at her and Chris is exhausted from dealing with her that the bitch is just going to sit for a few days and think about what she has done.


~This is definitely a Bob Marley music day at work for me.

~Last thing check out this blog and leave a comment. I do it for you guys all the time.

Well that about sums it all up. Happy Wednesday.

New Submission - The Blue Doodle

New regular blog is posted on The Blue Doodle.


~Clicky Here~

Feel free to leave comments here.

A Question is Posed

All right kiddies gather round it is question time........

It has been brought to my attention that I have a low tolerance for bullshittery (don't judge me, everyone else uses it)....well no shit or no bullshit I already know this. Stupid people are one of my biggest pet peeves.

At any rate....it was also brought to my attention that I am an utterly cynical pessimist and often times overly sarcastic. Now this is where you come in.

Do you think that I am an overly scarcastic and cynical pessimist or is the asswipe that suggested this full of shit?????? Be honest...believe me...it won't hurt my feelers one bit. I promise.

Also someone I know has recently posted some of his work for the first time. Please check him out and leave him some words of encouragement or feel free to harrass the shit out of him and say I gave you permission. Tell him some bad Italian joke or tell him how much he sucks at poker. I would consider it a personal favor to me.
