Seriously? 4 months? Really? Well, ya can't rush these things, I guess. Lucky hasn't lost any weight.. he's gained a pound, actually. Was gonna give up on the diet, but decided to try one more time. I chatted with one of the owners, and decided to upgrade him to 'medium', and cut out 1/2 of the rice. The only improvement, is that he smells good. If he doesn't start loosing weight, he'll be twice the size he was when we found him - and that's not good!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!
I'm suprised I even remember how to do this! Facebook is evil & takes up too much of my time. And I don't even farm!
Well, I am starting Lucky on Dinovite tonight. His progress will be kept track of on here, whether anyone reads it or not.. lol.
Current weight: 16.5 lbs
Activity level: Normal
Shedding level: Code orange
On Friday, I will be starting him slowly on a raw diet. Been doing alot of research, and I never knew dogs could, or even should, eat raw meat. Can't seem to get over the fact his recipe calls for ground eggshells, but I'll grind them up real good.
Well, that's all for today, as I really need to pack a bit of crap up that's been sitting around.

Well, hello there!
Long time, no post! I've just got done going through dozens of posts.. just refreshing my memory, and editing things for.. content. :) Wendy (Shannon's sister) made me realize how long I've neglected this & my flickr page. So I think I'm gonna get back into it. Gotta get to bed, as I work the cooler tomorrow & I start an hour early, so I'll just quickly update.
Worked all day making this palm tree for a wedding cake topper. I was thrilled with it at first, then decided it wasn't as good as it could be. So I'm fixing that, too. The whole cake topper needs to be done OMFG.. by the middle of next week!!! Oh jesus! *breathe in, breathe out* Repeat. This is for a wedding on a cruise, and maybe I don't wanna know how many people will be seeing this. This is a true challenge for me. But maybe it'll get me some business? One thing at a time..!
In other news... hmm, let's see...
Tim, unfortunately, doesn't work at Surplus anymore. :( Big HUGE ordeal that changed more lives than he could ever imagine. People are coming & going at a pretty good clip at work. Don't even get me started.
No news on the Mike Front.. either #1 or #2.. all is the same. Lucky is fine. (So are the Mike's.) Anyhoo's - I got a yudu (personal screen printer) for xmas, and Christian has some work for me. Shannon, her sister Wendy & I had a yudu 'party' last Saturday & we tried to tackle the beast. Shannon has one, too. It didn't go as planned, but Shannon sent me the pattern I designed, and it will go smoother the next time.
Well, I *really* need to go to bed, it's almost midnight! Will send pics of my work in progress sometime soon, I hope. Just gonna concentrate on getting it done, for now. Plus a friend from work wants a lion pen, and I gotta make another monkey pen. Will send pics of those soon. I know, I know... you've heard THAT before! Night, kids...

Morning, Everyone. Well, both of you..
Today's been pretty tough. Yesterday (the 25th) was one year since Charlie passed away. I believe he was contacting me at work while I was on register. The screen kept blurring & getting fuzzy, like when you have sattelite tv & a storm is coming. No other registers were doing that. It's hard to press the 'food' button while it's moving. When I realized what I think was happening, I just smiled to myself & continued on. A few people asked me was what wrong throughout the day, and I told them I didn't feel good. After I got home, I sent Tim a messege through Facebook explaining that it wasn't him or anyone else at work that had me upset all day. He said he figured something was wrong because I wasn't acting like myself, so he let it go. I did push my ass up against his to move him outta my way in the afternoon, but that was my only contact with him all day. I have off tomorrow, and he has off Thursday. So I told him to wear something for Halloween on Friday. Will it be the Devil costume I gave him? Probly not. Seeing as how the women aren't even allowed to wear dresses, I doubt they'd see the humor in his She Devil skirt outfit. He sent me pictures of him in it that I'll treasure forever... lol But I work Saturday & he doesn't - so we'll see if he comes in wearing it then..

What a TEASE!! ARGH!!! LOL!!
I've been all-a-flutter for hours... lol. This involves Mike #2, that lives down the road. I was walking up our ramp, and I hear this wolf whistle. I knew he was standing on the road talking to my uncle, facing away from me, so I didn't say anything to him, as I didn't want to interupt. But when I heard the whistle, I stopped immediately and slowly turned around, smiling. He was standing there, now turned to face me, smiling himself. "Hiiiiii, Mike..." and.. I'm still smiling. I'm also wondering if he still has a girlfriend. :^)

Good Evening!
Sorry about the font size of that last post. I tried to change it, but it didn't take. :(
Today should have been Monday, by the way it started out. I forgot I needed gas, so I didn't leave as early as I should have. When I finally got to the gas station, I got out & pushed the 'Here' button. It didn't work. Frustrated, I went 2 pumps down. It worked. After I swiped my card & was waiting for it to be approved, I reached down to open the gas flap. It wasn't there. It was on the OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR! MF'er!!! Since it was pretty much empty (both the parking lot and my tank) and my card was just approved, I got back in & very quickly turned my car around. Whew! Close one! So I grabbed the nozzle & as soon as I pulled the trigger inside the dry tank, I see that I grabbed the PREMIUM!! JESUS H. CHRIST!!! Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, I immediately stopped, and started another transaction. I can only imagine the laughter of the employee's inside, but I refused to turn & look. After finally filling up, I was on my way to work. Not 3 seconds after I got out of the parking lot, I found myself directly behind 2 big rigs at the red light. Only 1 mile from my house, and 16 miles from work, they - for some reason - decided to go 15mph UNDER the speed limit almost the entire way. They turned off only a few miles from work. Suprisingly, I was only 3 minutes late. And I'm usually 10 minutes early.
Tomorrow is food stamp day, and I'm in the cooler. Better there, than on register on this most hellish of days. I swear to god, I think these people use banana's to fuel their cars, as fast as they are gone through on f.s. day. It's truely mind boggling.
So, how was *your* day???

Foot Up The ..
Post this if you know someone, or have been affected by someone who needs a foot up the ass. People who need a foot up the ass affect the lives of many. There is still no known cure for people who need a foot up the ass except a foot up the ass, but we can raise awareness. 93% of you won't repost this and you need a foot up the ass too. Thanks, Chris!

My, How Time Flies!
It's really been a month since I posted? Holy crap! Well, I've been sick for a month, that's why. Tempted to go to the doctors, but I have no insurance. It's just a cold, but it wont go away. It's more annoying than anything. Sinus & chest congestion pretty much constantly. Been trying loads of different medicines, and though some help at first, my body gets use to them and they stop working. My colds usually run 2 weeks, and all I had left was a slight cough. Then for some reason, it came on all over again. I didn't even know it was possible to catch a cold, while you still had one. *sighs*
In less than 4 weeks, my aunt and I are suppose to FINALLY go to Atlantic City. Tickets are bought.. destinations are planned. The lighthouse & some museums are on the top of our list. The rest is sightseeing, and maybe a touch of beach-combing. She's also never been to a casino, so when we get dropped off at Bally's, it's gonna blow her mind.. LOL! The only thing we have to worry about, is the weather. Sure, it's gonna be November 6th, but for the past few years, it never gets cold-cold til around xmas. Odd for PA.
Speaking of odd.. I worked the cooler yesterday. Something fell off my cart as I was putting out the margerine & a guy picked it up for me. "There, I did my good deed for the day. 'Cause I can be bad..." Now, if that was some hot college guy who said it, I'd be all over that. This dude was 110. *rolls eyes* Uhh... yeah. Thanks. Now go away.
Speaking of hot guys, I smacked Tim's ass today. It was his fault. He ran into some of my Ajax with the forklift & tried to get it cleaned up before I got back from lunch. "Here she comes!" I heard him say on the other side of the shelves. As I came around the corner, I saw the thick blue liquid in front of my area, quickly spreading. He was sprinkling cat litter on it as fast as he could. But just in the middle. Men. "You can put more down, if you want.." he said, as he handed me the 'Special Kitty'. "Um, you owe me a clean up." Remembering back when I cleaned up his milk he ran into in the cooler, he took the litter back and started sprinkling more on the edges. But as he took the litter and bent over to put more down, he shoved his ass into me, to back me up. So I smacked him a good one. LOL! See? His fault. :)
A few days ago, I joined the world of Facebook. But only to be able to see pictures from friends. My first night on FB, Tim & I actually spent almost 1/2 an hour talking about his underwear.
Well, kids... the new episode of Ghost Adventures is on soon. Mom taped something in here, so I have to catch the 2nd airing. Might just tape it.. lol. I'll try to update more often! Hopefully my cold goes away before next month! Chow!

My New Baby Shower Ornaments..
.. apparently, were never suppose to be seen. By anyone. The Sanyo I bought is a COMPLETE piece of shit. It's going back to China where it came from. The pictures on there are gone. Or so the computer says. I even took pics of them, plus Lucky, on the memory card. They are now not there. Or so the computer says. Thank god I didn't take naughty pics.
I set up for the 2-day Lycoming County Rotary Festival in 10 days. Did I make anything for it yet? Of course not. How long have I known about it? About 3 months. I thought making the ornaments would get me back into the 'claying mood'... but I guess it hasn't. It's only 8pm, so I'm going to try to clean this pig sty of a room so I have room to work. Maybe once my clay is accesible, I'll want to do it more. We'll see.

How COMPLETELY RUDE!
Sure, we are are only a stones throw away from the Little League World Series in South Side. Sure, it started tonight, and I work 2 miles from it on Rt. 15. But anywhere on the radio did they mention at ALL... about The Raminator coming to town?!?!? HELL NO!!!! What, that isn't important enough for them??!? One of the most famous monster trucks comes to this rinky dink town & it goes virtually unnoticed. (If it was Snake Bite, I would have walked down!) He's only here today and tomorrow, and I fully intended on going & even going for a ride in it - it's free! I was looking forward to this day for well over a week!!! That's why I was so frantic about finding a camera, since I doubt I'll ever see Mike's again. But did I go see it? Did I go for a ride, or watch it crush cars?? No. Mother Nature had other plans for me early today. And even if my cramps subsided a bit tomorrow when he does his second show - it's all done while I'm at work. :*( I did get the chance to see him parked at the edge of the dealership he's at last night on my way home from work, though. That excited me like you wouldn't even believe! He wasn't there this morning at 7, but was again on my way home this afternoon. IMHO, monster trucks are just BAD-ASS! When Mike & I were still together, we went to the monster truck show in Bloomsburg, in 2005. OMFG, I loved it!! Ah, memories....
I dread tomorrow at work, and every day the Little League is being played. We are just at the bottom of the hill on the right hand side, going away from South Williamsport. So everyone has been shopping for snacks, goodies, ice, 10 for $1 soft drinks.. all that crap. And we are fully stocked, trust me. If it's gonna be food stamp day within the next 2 weeks, I will commit murder, I swear to god. It's bad enough that - no, I wont even start.
LMAO! That reminds me of something I did to a little blonde girl today... hehehee... Well, the parents need to keep an eye on their freakin kids, and not expect others to watch them! They drop the kids off in front of the toy section & go do their shopping. Meanwhile, the little assholes sit on the floor ruining our merchandise. Anyhoo's, I was pushing my U-boat along the main 'drag' along the ends on the isles. They are basically skinny, tall, metal carts, with an upsidedown 'u' on each end. They make quite a racket when empty. Well, I see these 2 little girls sitting on the floor smack dab in the center of the toy section - which is where I turn to go into the warehouse. I get a smile on my face. I look around - no parents as usual. Nobody at all, really. My smile gets bigger. All I have is crushed cardboard from the stuff I put out, so my U-boat is making a loud rattle. As I get closer, the one little girl looks up from whatever she's playing with. I pick up speed, grinning a bit. But mostly on the inside. >:) Have you ever seen those movies where somebody is trying desperately to get away from something when they are on the ground, and their feet can't get any traction? They just kinda.. slide around? LMAO! LOLOL!! I'm sorry, that's funny. The look of terror in her eyes right before I turned was absolutely PRICELESS. She never did get up. But by golly, she tried like hell! LOLOL!!
And I wonder why I'm single...

Claying once again...
Yes, you heard me right! And boy am I rusty!! It's a baby shower gift for this guy at work. I wish I still had Mike's camera, I could show you guys. :( If I figure out how to use my old camera, I'll post them. But anyhoo's..
Been working on this first piece of three since about 7pm. It's now almost 10pm, no matter what the post time says. It started out to be an angel, but when I was done, I had actually made a clown. Which I'm sure Bobby's kid will be. Good lord, you should see how he acts at work!! So instead of "Mommy's Little Angel", it will say "Mommy's Little Clown". Debating on wether or not to put a clown hat on him, or stop while I'm ahead. I already had him looking like a burn victim with down syndrome at one point. The next hanging ornament will be for the daddy, which will say "Daddy's Little Slugger", as he's a baseball player. He showed me (and everyone else at work.. lol) his trading card. Pretty impressive. But how do you go from that, to working at a surplus grocery store? *shrugs* Anyhoo's - break time is over, and I need to start the second ornament while the smell of clay is still on my hands.

Updates/Ramblings
First of all, last Friday was AWESOME!!! It started at work, of all places. I was ringing up this guy who was not too hard on the eyes, if ya know what I mean. He bought 3 things. Condoms, an enema kit, and adult diapers. That's a good time right there, don't care who ya are. LOL!
This was the day of the Truck & Tractor Pull at the Lycoming County Fair in Hughesville - about 1/8 of a mile from Mike's place. I was going to try to ask Mike #2 if he wanted to go with me, but I haven't seen him in forever. So I was gonna go sit on Mike's (#1) porch & listen to them. But after I got home, Mike (#1) called and said he was going and if I wanted to go along, I could. YIPPEE!!! =^D So I drove over after he got home from work & we walked over. We were late, but they started late, so we didn't miss a thing! Grabbed some hot sausages from Hewlitts *SLURP* after about an hour, then went back to the grandstands & watched the rest. There were 2 trucks there I was loving. One called 'Black Hearted'... he did excellent, though nobody had any full pulls. The other, I don't remember the name - but he had oodles of 'chicken lights' I went nuts over.. lol. Thank god I didn't have to work the next day, 'cause they ran reeeeaaaal late!! I almost broke an ankle walking back to my car at Mike's house - we cut through a corn field - shhhh!! Lol! I had an excellent time. I'm so thankful we are still friends!! I'd love to go back to his dad's and play pool with him & Carey - Carey's a freakin trip and a half!! I sure miss him!
Only thing I did over the weekend, was sitting out the storms. Holy shitballs they were bad!! Short, but bad. No less than 3 tornado's touched down in Northeastern PA. I kept thinking of you, Linda, wondering if Warren got hit! And Lee, too - he lives in Williamsport (about 20 minutes away) & I know they had tornado watches. Well, you guys know where Williamsport is - look who I'm talking too.. LOL! At least you guys have BASEMENTS!!!
Well, on a sad note, my uncle passed away 2 days ago. It was his liver. Alcoholism & cancer runs in my family. Which is why I don't know if I want to get heavily involved with a drinker. To have fun is one thing, but to be serious with a person like that - I just don't know. I want to be more than just a piece of ass to somebody. Apparently, I'm good in one department, but there must be something about me that falls short. *shrugs*
But anyhoo's - I'm gonna go lay down & watch the rest of Ghost Hunters International. Man, I can't wait til there's new episodes of Ghost Adventures!! G'night Deborah! G'night Linda! And anyone else who may be reading..
OH... before I forget... I saw this thing hanging at work today. I was shopping during my break, scoping out the kool-aid. And what do I see - a grape drink mix, called Negrita. On the label, was a head shot of a black woman with a red bandana on her head. I shit you not. Hmm.. can you make that just a LITTLE more racist???

Dream Not As Crazy As I Thought?
The dream I had about Lucky & the glue stick stuck in his mouth... something happened today that just now hit me. I was on the couch & mom was in the kitchen putting some things away & cleaning up from dinner - we had chicken. Lucky trots in with something in his mouth. And to me, it didn't look quite right & he had a guilty look on his face. "LUCKY! NO!!" I yelled, and dove down to him, grabbed him, and pried a chicken bone from his mouth. He almost swallowed it whole - it was about 2 1/2 inches long. Did I *see* that the night before in my dream??? That's just freaky...

Tosh.0
OMG - I am totally in love with this show! I just started watching it this past week, and watching reruns right now. It reminds me of Talk Soup when Hal Sparks hosted it. Despite the fact that he just called those who voted for Lee DeWyze 'tone deaf'.. grrr... he's still funny as hell.
As for work.. not working the cooler anymore sucks. It wasn't just for one week, like the one supervisor thought. It was days before I would talk to my boss, and even longer before I'd talk to the owner. Not everyone at work even realizes I'm on the registers on Wednesdays, now. I rung up the one lady who works in the meat department today - she's on vacation til Wednesday. She said she thought I was doing a great job. I agreed. But hey, it's a job & I'm thankful to have one.
I'm thinkin' I need to take a sleeping pill tonight. The dreams I have had the past 2 nights are just completely on the opposite side of normal. I wasn't drinking, I didn't take anything... not sure why I dreamed that my boxes of Hefty trash bags were doing Sylvester Stallone impressions right on the shelf. Not like they had lips or anything, but they were moving around. You can't make that up. The dream I had about Lucky last night... good freakin lord.. I don't even know if I can describe that one. But I'll try. He was laying on the floor, and his one foot was gone. The was a metal stub where it should have been. My mom & dad were standing over him, and I said to them, rather calmly, "What's wrong with him?". LOL! Dad had Lucky's foot in his hand, doing something to it. "Here, let me try.." I said. But when he gave me what he had in his hand, it wasn't Lucky's foot - it was his mouth. Not bloody or anything. It was his muzzle, pretty much. It was like someone superimpossed(sp?) it into my hand, as it was perfect. There was something in his mouth, so I gently pried his little mouth apart - AND A GLUE STICK FELL OUT! Wtf?!? No, I do not smoke pot. Maybe I should start! LOL! I'm almost afraid to go to sleep..

Got Demoted Today
Yeah.. not happy. There was a 'schedule change' today, and I was told I would not be working in the cooler anymore. Their excuse, was that I was more needed on register. But what they really meant, is I wasn't doing a good enough job. First of all, I was hired to do just case lots (stocking shelves). Today, we were told there will be 3 more people hired, one of which will do nothing but case lots - which is what I was hired to do. WTF??!!? It took about half an hour for that to sink in today, and then I was extremely pissed. I was on register from before my lunch around 11:30am, til after 3:30pm. How the holy hell am I suppose to fill the shelves of my isle, when I am always on register? "Oh, you wont be on register all the time..." BULLSHIT! I have been on register for the past 3 weeks, except on Wednesdays, because I was working the cooler those days!! Well, I guess they put a stop to THAT, now.. didn't they??
When I was first hired, I loved working there. I really did. I had no enemies there... I still don't. I had nothing against anyone I worked with. They loved me so much, after I was there 3 weeks, they wanted to bump me up to supervisor. But I declined. One of the supervisors there told me I totally made the right decision. She told me she wishes she would have said no. When they talked me into being trained on register, Wednesday was the only day I looked forward to going into work. Now I have nothing to look forward to. I can't even mess around with the forklift driver, as starting Monday, we are not to bother him... we have to write down on a dry erase board what we want for the day & he does it. Rules are a good thing - but this place is taking it way WAY too far. I was back in the warehouse getting some merchandise from my overstock area.. this was right as this bullshit was sinking in about me not being good enough to put out fruits and veggies. And this one guy was putting cardboard in the bailer, which is right at the end of my overstock isle. He wondered what was wrong, but I didn't want to talk about it. "It looks like you need a hug. Do you want a hug..??" "Um, no." He was stunned that *I*.. a woman... didn't want a hug from *HIM*, a god only in his own mind. Sure, he's not bad on the eyes, but I was in no mood for a hug. I would barely even look at him. Now, if the forklift driver would have offered a hug, I probly would have accepted - but would have ended up bawling on his shoulder. So I guess that situation turned out for the best.
Everyone at work can tell when I'm not in a good mood. I wont look up. I wont talk unless asked a question. I wont smile. Tell the customers to have a good day?? I don't think so.
I know no job is perfect, and I'm glad to even have a job in this economy. But I wasn't hired for this. One of the guys that work in the back told me PA's minimum wage is going up. Sure... so they can take more freakin taxes out. *sighs* I need a drink! No wonder nobody wants me. lol

One More Day! One More Day!
Then I get the weekend off! YAY! Lol! It's probly nothing to.. all 2 of you that read my blog, but it's something major for me!
I can't believe how hard it is to find somebody to go to Atlantic City with me. At least we (my aunt and I) are going on September 4th, when it's cooler, but I wanted to go July 3rd, also. I could still go, but it'd be by myself. Man, I wish I had friends! Friends with no life, anyways, like me. I'd love to ask the neighbor down the street, but I don't know him that well. It actually doesn't cost much, if you take a bus trip. Round trip, it's only $32. Try to drive to Atlantic City on $32 worth of gas! Lol!
Well, tv really sucks tonight. Guess it's bedtime. *yawns.*

Green God Damn - The Drink
I don't know if this is a drink Mike's family invented or what, but it's another recipe he gave me that involves the Grain. I bought the other ingredients tonight, and had every intention on making it. Still may tonight, but I had to *PROMISE* Mike to ~ONLY~ have half a normal glass. Talked to him today after I was done at Petco, making sure there were no additional ingredients. There's actually only 3 things in it, and depending on what order you mix it in, you make it into a slushie dessert. He calls it a 'creeper drink'.. that's why I had to promise to only have a little. Because he knows I don't drink often, and he thinks it'll knock me off my ass.
~ 3 hours later ~
Well, no Green God Damn for me tonight! Found a flea on Lucky, which turned into a 3 hour adventure.. jeez. So off to bed for me, as it's now 11:23pm! Hopefully I'll get it made tomorrow after work!

Apple Pie Experiement - Day One
This aint your gramma's pastry I'm talkin' about. Oh, no.. no.. no...
If your a fan of grain alcohol, you might just like this. After tasting some of this applicious drink a few months ago, I decided I needed to make some for myself. But since I didn't have the recipe, I looked it up online. That brought up many versions, though. So what I did, was combine them into one. My first batch was made yesterday. Here's the recipe I used:
1 Gallon apple cider
1 Gallon apple juice
2 1/2 cups sugar
7 (3") cinnamon sticks
2 1/2 cups grain
Combine all ingredients, except grain, in large pot (I actually used our Nesco Roaster). Heat til sugar disolves. Most recipes say to bring to a boil, but Mike & I decided it wasn't necessary.. lol! Then let cool COMPLETELY! If you don't, the heat will evaporate the alcohol. And grain is SO not cheap - so don't waste it by thinking it's 'cool enough' - be SURE! What I did to hurry the process along, was float ice packs in it.. my mom's idea! Worked like a charm! You could also use ice cubes in a ziplock bag.. after it's cooled a bit first. Don't want to melt the plastic! I read that the longer you leave the cinnamon sticks in, the stronger the cinnamon gets. I took mine out after it was completely cooled. I tasted it before I put the alcohol in, even though, of course, it would taste totally different when cold. It did taste a bit sweet, but pretty much tasted like cider. Time for the grain! It was added.. stirred, tasted, stirred, tasted... WOW! Strooooooooong. But to see how different it would taste iced, I put some in the freezer. It was still sweet, but I drank it, anyways.. lol! Then this morning, I sipped it again, and it sorta mellowed out. Nice! This might work, after all! Tonight after work, I tried it again - even better. I guess the flavors just had to sit & mix for a bit. I'll see how much better it tastes tomorrow. It *is* only a bit over 24 hours old.

Good Evening, Kids!
Still wondering why I am so attracted to the bad boys.. Lol! Was suppose to go out tonight to a friends house, but he called me tonight after work & we talked about it. And both decided it was just the wrong time. If it was meant to be, it was meant to be. Apparently, it wasn't. I guess subliminally, I was having second thoughts, also. Because when I hung up, I felt as if a weight was lifted. I spent the majority of my life alone, so I'm use to it. I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just what I know. Not sure what's going on... I sure as hell don't look any different, but it's as if suddenly guys are noticing me now. Poor bastards.. LOL! I'm just not use to being flirted with - but mamma like. Me & this guy at work flirt something TERRIBLE! If I was 20 years younger, and if he wasn't such a man-whore, I'd be all over him.
~10 minutes later~
Sorry, what was I saying? He's just.. freakin SMOKIN' HOT. He's the kind of guy, that the more you know him & are around him, the better he gets. And that stubble he has.. OMMFG! I could literally stare at him all day. I get bummed when he comes in all clean-shaven.. lol. The next time he does, I think I'll rub my hand over his check & go "awww... I liked the stubble.." If he comes in with a goatee, they'll have to mop me up off the floor. I just.. whew. Just a fantasy crush, is all. ;) I about died when he threw a kiss at me the other day.. LOL! I just wiggled my eyebrows and threw one back.. hehe.
ANYWAYS... there's pics on the camera from this past winter. That's how long it's been since I got any off it. You can't rush into these things, ya know. Lots of Lucky pics, some crafts, our renovation of my parents bathroom, a few from the Beaver Lake show, and from Easter. Haven't gotten a pic of #2 (The Mike that lives down the road) yet, but I have a plan. *Rubs chin devilishly* >:^D I think alot about him, too. A-L-O-T. I gotta get up enough courage to ask him out before he's taken. He's usually walking to work as I'm getting out of the shower. Not that I watch for him, or anything. *cough* Or leave the window open just enough, so that there's a straight shot from the road into the shower. :)~ And I noticed the other day, he also has a barbed wire tattoo on the same arm I do. Well, mine's a wrist-wrap, his is on his very muscular bicept. (Damn, I wish I could put a sound clip in here.. it'd be a cat purring.. lol)
Man, those screaming kids down the road are seriously throwing off my mojo. Guess I've rambled on enough. Oh!! IT'S FINALLY RAINING!! WOO HOO!!!!! Aaaand, it stopped. What a tease.
AACCKKK! My aunt just scared the living shit outta me! LMAO! She came up to the window & said hi - it's dark out & I can't see.. lol. Anyhoo's, I'm off to bed. No drugs tonight, either. Imagine that shit.
