Just another rainey Sunday.......

Ok, I skipped church today. I did say a little prayer..does that count?? I feel like it does. It is raining cats and dogs today. I still have alot of things to do. I have to go to CVS and print pictures from yesterday, go to the gym and workout, tan, go to aunt Carol's house for her Birthday and meet a friend later on today. When I made plans to meet my friend I forgot about Carol's Birthday. I need to get busy....I'm still in bed under the covers listening to it rain. I'm just happy and content at the moment and its 12:30. I watched Yes Man and Role Models. I liked both movies. Role Models had alot of Kiss Memoriabilia.........The guy was crazy about Kiss because he said they got the girls all the time. I Love It!!!! Do I get up now or just stay under the covers a little longer????? I think I need to get my Happy Ass up and get going....so later........

National Scrapbook Day....

Yesterday was NSD. I was so excited to see all my scrapbook girls. I missed our last day because of Relay for Life. I was sad cause I never miss one of Brenda's Crops. I saw all my girls. We had to talk about what had happened over the last month. I saw Gwen, my friend from Fayettville. I have'nt saw her in almost a year. Sunny asked me to be in her wedding in October. So I am excited about that. I have to go shopping for a dress. Yea.......any excuse to go shopping..right? I got alot of pages done. I won several prizes during the day. At the end she had 3 big prizes, I won the last one. It was the big one..A 12 x 12 albumn with pages and page protectors. I was happy about that. We ate alot of good food too. My fav was the Hershey Bar Cake.Yum!!!! Anyway that's all for now....Later..

Party Time....

So after Becca's wedding I was invited to a pig picking at a friends house. I was looking forward to just having some fun meeting some different people and just relaxing. Well I knew several people there because we went to school together. It was alot of fun. I meet a man I'll call him Uncle S. He was a character. I rode the golf cart ,looked at his recording studio..which was very cool. Ya'll know how much I Love Music!!!! And we made a Bon Fire. He dropped me off at the party house and I talked to some more people I did'nt really know. The real fun got started after everyone had left. Lets see there was 10 people there and my friend J asked me to make some Flamming Dr Pepper's. I had talked about how much I liked them. I made one for him and it was too much the glass was too big soo I found the right size glass and shot glass and it was on..... I guess everyone had at least 3 or 4 Dr Peppers. I even had one, it was good. Almost as good as a Mudslide!! The crowd thinned out more till it was only 5 left. We broke out the 4 wheeler and the other two went riding. We made a Bon fire. and talked alot. and fell asleep and woke up and talked some more. One passed out for a long while.. It was soo fun.. No worrys...no time to be home...just simple do what ever....I got home at 3:30..The animals were like where have you been?? Youve been gone all day...dont worry I'm not a bad mommy..I let them out before I left for the party.. That was a great time with old and new friends.....What am I doing tonight????? It wont be as much fun as last weekend I'm sure...........

Becca and James Wedding.....

Well my girlfriend Becca is finally married. So my weekend has been very busy. I had to get a pedicure Friday afternoon,then whoever picked up the dress and shoes from David's Bridal did'nt pick up my shoes. I had to go to Raliegh at 3. I was back by 5. Then rehersal and dinner at 6:30. It was fun. I had called Pam earlier in the day,because she was going to do my hair for the wedding. I finally got up with her at 9 that night. She sounded drunk!! I said Pam where are you??? She said Im in the hospital. She was having pains in he stomach thursday night and went to Rex ER. She had her gallbladder out Friday at 1 and was just waking up. I felt terriable she was in the hospital.
Saterday morning gets here and I dont know who's going to do my hair. But it was going to be OK. Everything worked out. Becca looked really pretty. Her hair looked like Julia Roberts. I was so happy everything went smoothly. All of our scrapbook girls were there. Joe was his usual crazy self. He brought his 67 camero to the church for us to take pictures in. That sure is a sweet car!!!! I wish James and Becca a lifetime of happiness!!!! They deserve it....

Relay for Life was a Success....

The Garner Relay for Life was a huge success. Everyone did a great job,it was alot of fun. I enjoyed hearing Josh sing the most. He is really a talented singer. There was so much to see and do it was a bit overwhelming. Our team did Dunk a Dentist..I think just that raised 140 dollars. Our guys were good sports about getting dunked. The kids really enjoyed it too.
I did'nt eat all day, just waiting for the homemade ice cream. I ate 3 cups and they were Yummy!!!! Carmel Nut, Peach and Orange Sherbert. I loved every bite....I did double cardio at the gym the next day!!!!! I also had the homemade french fries. They were tasty too.
The Relay for Harnett County is next weekend. I doubt I will go because I am in a wedding. My weekend is full. Ok thats all for now unless I get bored a blog some more later......

Doing the right thing..2

OK after all of the girls at work stewing the entire weekend. When the docs finally came to work on Tuesday,we told them how we felt about docing us for going to the funeral. Dr.K was really good. He apoligized and told us we would get our time back. It was all good. We all felt better. So I guess some people Do The Right Thing Afterall........

Seeing Old Friends,Special Friends and Family.....

Saterday was my scrapbooking day. I went to Judy's that morning and saw all my girls. Well Laura was'nt there she had family visiting. Becca and Kim were there. We worked on our scrapbooks,told some lies you know the usual. I had to leave at 1 because I had family comming in from Richmond. I leave and on my way home Im jammin to Nickelback and my phone rings. Its my good buddy j. I said "What are you doing?" He says look in your rearview mirror!!! It was none other than j himself. Luckily I was at a stop sign, I had to get out and hug his neck and shoot the breeze for a few minutes. Im glad there were no other cars comming. He had taken a hand gun safety class that morning. So we talked for a little bit and I had to go.. He did too. Ok so Im going to Moms house and the phone rings......Its Billy. I knew he was going to be in town today I just didnt know when. He said he was at Pizza Hut in Lillington. So I was going right by there so I stoped to say Hello. It was soo good to see him. We were trying to figure out when we saw each other last.....Its been about 7 years, I think. The last time we saw each other Billy was packing to move to Georgia and I helped him. I wanted to color my hair so we went and got the stuff. Well the picture on the box was a nice dirty blonde shade....Well...my hair was Carrot Top Orange. Oh my I almost had a Fit!!!! Billy was really sweet and says Honey it really doesnt look bad. It took me Forever to get my hair back to its right color. There was Fine Print at the bottom of the box.....Do Not Use On Highlighted Hair!!!!!!! So we talk about old times and he tells me about this girl he has been seeing.. its time for both of us to go......
I finall head over to Moms. Ken,Patricia and Kenny are all there. We have even more company..Grandma,Debbie,Amber and Baby Michael come over. Michael is sick so he cries the whole time he is there. Kenny and I go outside to visit with Uncle Dorsey. I spent a few hours taking pictures and talking.. Kenny and I have to go to my house. He always spends the night with me. We just goofed off and did basically nothing.
It was so nice to be popular today and see my family. It makes you appreciate the little things you take for granted everyday....

Doing the right thing....

Well eveyone at work has been in a tizzy. Dr. P called us together to tell us we would be getting our scheduled April 15th raises. He also told us the economy had'nt affected our practice. We were doing very well. Then he says instead of our normal 4 or 5% raise we are only getting 2%. And some people would'nt be getting that. If our practice is doing so good why don't we get a decent raise. Our Garner office works so well together. We are all like a Big Family and we bust our Asses to get our jobs done and make sure our patients have a good dental experience. Its not like our other office were they have some serious Drama all the time, not to mention that office does'nt go a full week without someone calling in sick. Then the 2 new doctors....work in alot of patients through out the day. That happens quite a bit and we all pull together and make it work. They take trips all the time..Hawaii..Jamaica..Bahamas Final Four...... Its frustrating to know our practice is thriving and were only getting a little raise. I guess something is better than nothing and I need to be thankfull.........But this next thing Im going to blogg about really takes the cake..
Ok so Dr Parrish father in law passed away last week. Dr Parrish came in and worked untill 11, then left to go to the funeral. Well we did our little bit of cleaning made sure our drawers had eveything we needed for next week and we closed the office and drove an hour to Wade for the funeral. I have been here for 21 years and we are a close group. Anytime a docs family member dies we close the office and go to the funeral. If you choose not to go you get docked or you have to stay at the office and clean. We get our pay stubs and see we have all been docked for that day. To say it nicely we were very Pissed!!! What happened to the day people did the right thing??? I felt going to the funeral and paying my respects was the thing to do. Dr P and his wife were so touched to see us, she just cried when I hugged her. I was glad I went regardless of if I got payed or not. Any way........My opinion of this doctor has gone down!!! The new one that docked us all. I was warming up to him and really getting to know him. Now I'm not too happy with either of them. I am really dreading the day when the older 2 retire because I have a feeling we will all be SCREWED!!! and it wont be any fun!!!!

Easter....

Yes I know I have not blogged in awhile, but I've had some stuff on my mind I just did'nt want to share yet. So maybe soon I will blogg my personal stuff.
So...I bought this Cute Dress to wear Easter Sunday to Church. Well the night before I stayed out Late with a friend fixing my lap top, watching Twilight, just having fun oh and lets not forget getting stopped by a cop at 1:30 AM. Thankfully I didnt get a ticket, that would of been just great! I basically stayed out late, then when I got home I had to play on my lap top just to see if it really worked. Sunday morning I woke up at 6, went back to sleep, woke up at 8 and it was too late to rush and make it to church by 9. I really felt bad. I have'nt missed Easter Sunday service in quite a few years. I was just lazy or tired one.
My friend, Barbara came over around 1. We ate pasta for lunch and she was trying to fix my desktop computer. It works but we did a Virus Scan and it said I had a problem. So you know how that goes...it can take a long time to scan all your files. Especially when your like me and have over 2500 songs in your iTunes and a ton of pictures. We made some progress but did'nt really fix it. Maybe my computer guy will help me out. The bad thing is he is sooo fine. I cant concentrete when he's around. Yes I know I'm terriable.
My aunt Carol had supper for everyone at 5. I didnt go I was home with Barbara watching Twighlight. It was very good by the way. Not enough sex in it for me. I love Vampire stories especially when they have lots of good sex scenes!!! I was just a bum today not really seeing any family. I did talk to them. I guess since Granny died I've still been sad. I miss her so much, she was the one person that loved me no matter what and always understood.
Anyway I did have fun I guess thats all that really matters at the end of the day.....

Nasty Virus for my new lap top...

Well I slept a little later than usual this morning. Got up made some Hazelnut Coffee that Mom brought from the Kiss Coffee House. Got my lap top and decided to play on facebook. I had been on for 5 minutes when it completly shut me down and said I had encountered a virus. Not a virus 41 viruses!! I was tripping out!!!! Anyway the day before someone wanted to use my lap top. I was kinda pissed cause no body has used it yet. I guess its an only child thing...but the point being that person went to 2 unsecured sites. That may not have been the problem but at least if I had been the one to do it I could blame myself. Anyway.......I called a great friend of mine J. He said Honey dont worry I will get a CD from a buddy on my way home from work and it will fix it up. Well later that day,my girlfriend Barbara came over. She installed Spybox and got rid of 39 of the 41 viruses and my lap top. The 2 left were Trogan and something worm. Anyway neither sounded very good to me. So J had things to do Saterday afternoon. We finally met up at 9. We had to run an errand or two. Then we worked on my computer. He is so smart about stuff like this. It did take awhile but he got it going. I am so happy I have smart friends not to mention handsome too. So now I have some Virus protection on my computer and hopefully things will be OK from now on.. I hope so anyway.

Everytime I Look At You..

Tryin to say I'm sorry, did'nt mean to break your heart
And find you waitin up by the light of day
There's alot I want to tell you,but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
ooooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way

Chorus
But everytime I look at you, no matter what I'm goin thru, it's easy to see
And everytime I hold you, the things I never told you, seem to come easily
Cause you're everything to me

I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would be ending soon
I thought it would'nt matter, if it all just came apart
But now I realize I was just pretending

Oooh, baby I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me

Chorus

Its gonna take a little time to show you, just what you mean to me
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see
You're Everything To Me

By Paul Stanley of KISS........

Love those Tar Heels....

Well last night as I was watching the Championship game,I was really thinking about my good friend Johnny. Johnny was killed back in October. I know he would of been so happy to watch that game. He LOVED some Tar Heels!!!!! I was watching the game with some friends and could'nt help but think about him.
Anyway......Yea the Tar Heels won. It was a very good game. I really wanted them to have a Huge lead,but they won thats all that matters. It was fun to watch the crazy after party on the news. I was looking to see if I saw anyone I knew on TV. One of my girlfriends was there and she got a black eye during all the craziness. I like being out and about but that was just toooo Wild!!!!! I will be sad to Hansbrough leave. He was really a great player. kinda cute too .......OK thats all for now..

Choices in Life....

Do you ever wonder where you would be if you made different choices in your life??? Where would I be today if.....I had went to Randolph Tech for photography. Would I be a famous photographer??? Living in New York taking photographs of famous rock stars. Instead I went to Fayetteville Tech for Dental Assisting. I love what I do now. The kids are great. But sometimes I really regret not going to Photography School.
If I had of stayed with my High School Sweetie.....what would my life be like today?? Would I have kids?? I dout it seriously!!! When you are with someone you have a certain circle of friends. I would'nt know alot of the people I do.
If I had never married B. Thank God I'm divorced!!!!!
I often think all things happen for a reason. It would be nice to have a little time machine or something that could show you a movie of what things would be like if you'd done things differently. That would be so cool. Its just something I often think about.
A very good friend of mine always told me life is too short, don't have any regrets. Do what you want when you want and the heck with what everyone thinks..........

Tea Party...

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding May 2. The bride Becca had a Tea Party for all the girls in the wedding and some more special friends. It was at a Bed and Breakfast in Fuquay. The Chateau Belle Vie. This was a beautifull house back off the road a little ways. The inside was to die for. The gardens were pretty. There were some flowers blooming. But I can imagine in a few weeks what it will look like with all the flowers in full bloom. I am not too picky of an eater. I have gone vegetarian over the last year. I rarely eat any chicken anymore. I think I had a few bites at Christmas. Anyway...they had some weird food there. Fish dip on crackers..eggplant dip with Lots of onions.....Chicken salad like I had never seen. I liked the grits but it was not called grits something this country girl had never heard of. They serve it with sour cream, I really liked that. My friend Judy sat next to me and she said Are we going to get Cheeseburgers when we leave here???? I just laughed. She has been to all kinds of fancy partys....she was big in the Miss America Pagents and has won several big awards for selling Creative Memories. Judy did'nt even like the food. The dessert was good. It was Creme Brulle with home made whipped cream and fruit and we had some kind of cake.I dont know the name. Ohhhh the tea was good...Rasberry Tea and Pink Lemonade. My point is why waste all that money for fru fru food???? I know several girls getting married...please have some neurtral food. This stuff was not good. I was Starving when I left. Our bosses took us to the Lion King and we had food that was similar to this and it was better than yesterdays and believe me thats Not By Much!!!!!!!
Ok The place was beautifull. I took lots of pictures. So that part was alot of fun. Oh and Becca told me her future hubby's divorce from his last wife was'nt final. Soo they better get on it or they won't be able to get married. Its always something...........

Foster....

I have been wanting to blog about this all week and just could'nt do it. I guess I was too upset about it. My boss Dr. K went sking this past week. He has a black lab he has had for 12 years or more. Well he gets a call from his vet saying Foster is'nt doing well and he needs to fly home now. I can only imagine what he was thinking knowing as soon as he got off the plane he was going to have to put his beloved pet to sleep. That just has to be awefull. Dr.k got in at midnight and went to the vets to see Foster. He was going to spend the night their and put Foster to sleep the next morning but Foster got worse and was in alot of pain.....so they took him outside and put him to sleep under the stars. That had to have been horrible. I know at work we were all tore up. We would get sad just thinking about it. When I went home that day I LOVED on all my animals. They are just such a big part of your life. They Love You no matter what. Are always there to greet you when you get home. They are never too tired to show you love and affection. All my pets are inside. I think that makes a big difference..you see them all the time..they sleep with you...eat with you. I hope I don't have to put my babies to sleep for years and years.....Sooo Love on all your critters cause we never know what may happen tomorrow....

Loosing Weight....

Ok,I have been trying to loose weight for a little while now. I have lost 20 pounds since September. I did gain 5 or so over Christmas..but I am finally at 158. I have been working out and watching what I eat. I am going to be in a Wedding May 3. I really need to step it up and workout harder between now and then. It really is amazing what eating a cup cake or piece of chocolate can do. I mean...especially if you eat after 8 or 9 at night. It just goes right on my BUTT!!!!! I am so happy I've lost what I have but Ive got to loose 25 more at least. I will do this. My girlfriend at work told me today she bought a dress and it was a 0. I know I will not be a Zero......but a 4 or 6 would be nice. Anyway I worked out hard tonight and I feel great. I guess Im just a work in progress......Cant wait to see what I look like after I loose the rest....If Valerie Bertinelli can go from Huge to Skinny so can I. Damn she looked HOT on the cover of People.I will write back at the end of April with a weight lose update..

Change..

Well I have'nt blogged in a while. I've been just caught up in everyday life. I was looking at some of my old journals last night. As I read the pages I thought, man I have changed so much since then. Im not too fond of change either!!!! I dont want everything to stay the same,but its safe sometimes for things in life to stay the same. Yes this is a crazy blog...... Its amazing how much people change over time. I was thinking I am a much stronger person now than I was 6 years ago. Now that I have turned 41!!!! Where is my Life going??? What kind of choices am I going to make in the future?? Am I going to be happy on my own....will I get married??? Do I really want to get married??? I do know I am happy with my life. Things could be worse........I'm healthy and have family and friends. Maybe its just I feel a bit confused at this point in my life. I will just have to figure things out..........I will let you know what happens..

Friday the 13th.....

Well its Friday the 13th. My day started out good,I had coffee got on the computer,went to work. Today was our day to Spring clean I guess you would say. Me and the girls did a great job,the office loks great by the way. Randy calls about 1o to tell me our pastor was in a bad car accident late last night and they airlifted him from Betsey Johnson to Chapel Hill. This news just threw me..... He was T-boned by a young guy about 17 yrs old. He has internal bleeding, punctured lung,relocated his esaphagus and they removed his spleeen. They were doing a CAT scan to see what else may be wrong but the last I heard was the next 24-36 hours were critical. I LoVe Mr. Bill. He really is the coolest guy. I'm a Believer in the word and a God Fearing person. I believe miracles happen everyday. I know he will get better. He pastors 2 churches and has for some time now. There was alot of people at the hospital today. Randys Aunt and Uncle went and stayed most of the day. I couldnt bring myself to go tonight. I kinda felt if I did'nt go it wouldnt be real. I dont know why.....I am going first thing in the morning. I kinda wanted to be alone with my thoughts and prayers. I know Mr. Bill is a fighter and he still has things to do here on this earth.....He is suppose to marry Me and Randy one day. I cant imagine getting married by anyone else. I wonder if God's trying to tell me something???? All I can do is have Faith and Pray for God's will to be done........

Just Breathe............

Well for those of you that know me I'm pretty laid back. Not too much bothers me. Even when Randy my fiance has a little temper tantrum....like all men can do. I'm calm most of the time. Everytime Randy's Dad has fallen in the yard ....been bloodied up and I've had to call the ambulance Ive been calm. But today I really feel like I am goiong to explode and I dont really know why. I mean I got home from work went out to Randy's parents to say Hello. Randys Dad was drunk as usual....bleery eyed......blood all over his face from a huge cut on his face,,,glasses all bent up and sticking out on the sides. Now that I think about it it was sort of funny looking. Anyway....he says Hey Baby!! How was your day at work????? I think I fell again this afternoon. This is just heartbreaking to me cause he is really the sweetest person drunk or sober. i have to remember this is a sickness? He is hurting himself. It is so frustrating to see him slowly kill himself. Randy and his Mom just get all mad and fuss at him. I keep telling them all it does is get them all worked up cause Pa is drunk and won't remember it the next day. Now Randy has been venting about his Dad for the last Hour. I understand he has had to deal with this his entire life......but I calmly baked him some cupcakes..:) and told him to leave and go see his Buddy...Chan!!! I am alone now and very Happy!!!! I went for a walk to clear my head and I'm feeling a little guilty for telling him to leave....but oh well........i needed a break........now I'm going to watch Criminal Minds and Just Breathe...............

Relay for Life

Well its that time of year again for relay for Life. My office has had a team now for 4 years I think??? Anyhow. I enjoy going and doing the walk. I like seeing other teams booths and stuff. I always stress over raising money. I'm not the kind of person to Bug you to donate either you want to give or you dont. Any how I raised 82.00 on Saterday and today I got another 50.00 I am soo happy!! I still have some more people that have asked about buying T-shirts also. There is a lady from Buies Creek that sells Southern Living home that said if I have a book party she will donate to realy. I had 3 people tonight to place orders for that. soo I am very happy I have reached my goal at least. Now i won't stress about this!!!!!

The well has run dry.....

Well after my morning blog,I got in the shower only to find I had hardly any water pressure. That's no good. Of course Randy was ClueLess as to what to do. Bobby thats Randy's dad did'nt know a thing about water pumps etc. So who do you call??? That's right!!! Daddy!!!! Man Dad's are the smartest people on the planet. Mom comes in close too now. All of us are outside trying to figure out whats wrong. we have plenty of water in the well. The pump is making a Funny noise. Now my Mom is a country girl and she knows alot about stuff like that. All I know is they cleaned the pump,replaced some screw thing and we now have Lots of water Pressure.(3 hours later) I sure am glad I did'nt live back in the old days of outhouses and washing cloths in a wash bucket.Oh and lets not forget air conditioning!! Soooo today I am Thankfull for A Dad that can fix things and WATER........... I know this was a Crazy blog but its my blog bye for now..

Spring

Finally i am all signed in and ready to go. A friend of mine tarheel bride hooked me up with this website. I have always kept a diary growing up so this bloggging is new to me. sooo here it goes.
I am so glad it has been a pretty weekend. It was warm yesterday. I am so ready for Spring. I just love to see bright flowers,butterflys and bee's buzzing around. I am a bit of a Photobug so I am usually out chasing a butterfly or bird, trying to get that perfect shot.
I forgot all about the time change.so I missed church. I really feel bad, I hate missing church. I still don't know what I am going to do today. I need to go to a funeral,but I really don't want to go. My girls at work are all busy doing family stuff and are'nt going either. I feel I should make an appearance. Just have'nt decided yet.
I know I will be watching the UNC vs. Duke game today. Gooo Heels!!!!!! Ohh today is Senior Day!! It will be Tyler's last game. I hope he plays well today.
I need to go see my cousin Amber's new baby. I have been to see him once. He is very Cute!! I still am a little upset about that whole situation. Those of you that know me understand my feelings. I wanted to be there when Michael was born but I dont think the boyfriend wanted any of us around sooo I missed out. In really should of been a Bitch and showed up anyway but I did'nt want to cause problems for Amber. Anyway whats done is done. I need to get over it. That's easier said than done.
I have a new kitty I saved from the CVS. His name is Fender. I guess he is 6 months old now. I need to take him to the Vet for his shots. fender is the Hornyest cat. He keeps Humping me, I have Never had a Cat do that. I will get him fixed as soon as he has his first shots. Sorry Fender old Buddy but it's for your own good.")
Ok thta's enough blogging for now. Untill next time...
