You can see my streaks very lightly on my arm and my hands are colored too!

Well thats my excitement for the day.

Wherever you are, please pray for me around 11 Central time today, I would really appreciate it!

KC needs Prayer

I just found out some pretty disturbing news, please pray for me.

copy cat continued

21. clutter drives me nuts, or things I can't fix or have to work at to fix. Example, if I am reorganizing a room or trying to find a mistake in numbers and I can't even find a place to begin I feel VERY overwhelmed. Almost chlosterphobic. I panic in my mind thinking I'm never gonna get this, I don't even know where to start. Drives me up the wall!

22. I used to read any bottle I could get my hands on within reach of the toilet just to entertain myself while I tinkled.

23. I STILL have my bright pink socks (that I wear only when necessary) from the 80's, who knows why I haven't gotten rid of them.

24. I get bottles of sparkling cider or juice for Christmas, I will walk around with the whole bottle just chugging it cus I like it so much. Im sucha lush.

25. I get dirt under the corners of my toenails that I have to DIG out. EW

26. Slow drivers HIGHLY annoy me. I am on border road rage nearly every day.

27. I used to go fishing with my dad at the creek for bait fish. He would catch the fish to use or I cant remember if he went just to fish for fun. Anyway...we didn't keep them to eat, I remember seeing these little white worm looking things crawling OUT OF THE SKIN, literally. FREAKED me out!

28. My mom gave me some health drink thing made of water, lemon, and cayenne pepper to "de worm" me when I was a child. I didn't even have worms! It tasted NASTY!

29. I ate my boogers till I was in my early teens. NASTY...I can't believe I admitted that.

30. I am scared of the noise balloons make when they are popped, freaks me out.

31. I have to wash and condition my hair BEFORE I shave my legs in the shower, or I get the shivers and have to shave all over again.

32. I have a double jointed knuckle on my pointer finger, left hand.

33. I am allergice to penacillan and amoxicillan.

34. I used to smoke cigarettes with my cousin down in our horse pasture when I was like 9 years old. GAG

35. I have almost crashed in a small plane 3 times.

36. I used to be an air guard on prisoner transports, mental ward, for brother wilda. Had to hold one girl down.

37. I once was so obsessed with a guy I had his work schedule written down on my calendar, when he finally reciprocated the feelings and held my hand I said, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" ...needless to say, it ain't damon I'm talkin about and it didn't work out!

38. I used to flip my skirt up to scare this boy away in second grade named Cody Chlarson. He would NOT leave me alone. So, I just showed him my undies, then he left. :-D

39. I clip my toenails off and chew the remnants...only if they are clean, and not here recently cus I have begun to realize how nasty that is.

40. I fot an F in 7th grade math, my mom told me if I got an F I lost my horse....I BEGGED my teacher, tears and all just to give me a D so I wouldn't lose her. She raised me to a D-

....

i dont think i wanna finish my "100" post. I think I'm done...I'm even thinking of quiting blogging. Yall could pray for me...Im pretty restless and down right now about some stuff. I just dont have the desire to blog......blah

copy cat

This is a 100 meme. It is all about me. Brutally honest and confessing. I have to think of 100 things about me that most people don't know.

1. I'm scared of the concept of eternity, the time of it.

2. I'm scared that God already knows if I am gonna make it to heaven or not and my future in Him is planned and that I will fall and He knows it and I won't end up making it at all. Like I am already destined to fail.

3. I once had a dream a person that I knew died, I tried to talk to her about the Lord a little bit, she died three years later of cancer. I wonder if I told her enough. I wonder if her blood will be on my hands.

4. I have had dreams of people dying only three times, ond was the woman mentioned above, the other was my father, and the other is my coworker, Phillip.

5. I have only told a few people in my WHOLE life my weight. My mom doesnt even know. Because of my height people think I am usually about 30lbs lighter than I really am.

6. I am RIDICULOUSLY cheap.

7. I have a tattoo...let me explain. In 1st grade I was trying to get my pencil from my boyfriend and I finally over powered him, only problem the tip went RIGHT INTO MY LEG! It was stuck, had to get it taken out cus it broke off in my flesh. I still have the discoloration today. Looks the color of a tattoo, just a small dot.

8. I have died my hair green, blue, and red.

9. In my freshman year I was all into the gang banger stuff, I even carved the 4 dots, one on each finger, to represent "north side". *gags*

10. I used to fall asleep on my horse, it was relaxing.

11. I went to the ER about three times with a fear of having a heart attack.

12. I love fruit, but can't stand the texture of peaches, apricots, strawberry seeds, raspberry seeds, ew!

13. While I was engaged and working very hard to lose weight, I actually lost my appetite after seeing a skinny minny girl in front of me. I couldn't even eat my food. I just threw it away.

14. Men scare me...I am VERY uncomfortable around men. There are only a certain phew who DONT make me uncomfortable. My husband, my old boss in Idaho- Sam, Joe from my old work, and Benny from Idaho, and papa. I am even uncomfy around my dad cus I don't know how to talk to him and I am afraid I will disappoint him.

15. I am picky with my food, believe it or not. When I buy chicken I will cut anything off that even looks to be gross. If I buy a 3lb bag...I usually throw a lb away after I am done with all my chicken grooming.

16. Bacon- I pick the fat strips out and eat the meat only, UNLESS its crispy and most of the fat is cooked out.

17. Socks bother me, they make my feet feel hot. I prefer going barefoot anywhere I can. At home, I would walk around barefoot when I was going to get the horses.

18. I looooove storms. The more lightning and rain the better!

19. I have a fear of water that has not cement on the bottom. I.e. Lakes, ocean, streams, etc.. If it aint painted blue, I don't wanna be in it. I am skeered something will eat me. I only walk on the shore of the ocean, I pretty much stay outa lakes unless I'm in a boat, I bathed in a river a few times only outa desperation. We were camping, and thats what you did, you bathed in the river. It was cold, but I was so dirty and sunburned I didn't care at that point. Although, I still thought about the underwater monsters.

20. I will not walk on grass barefoot at night, because I am scared of the nightcrawlers touching my feet. If I had to go outside for something I would literally run/hop to the fence to get my feet off the ground and outa the way of them slimey worms. EW!

Slightly Irritated

I am irritated at: People, circumstances, etc..

However, hard to believe as it is, I am NOT irritated at my hubby cus he is super sweet! Even went and got me my milk for my banana pudding last night.

We aren't getting that jeep I don't think. Not unless the guy agrees to let us drive it off the lot taxes, title, and all for $1000. Cus, it's just not worth $1200 plus taxes for a vehicle to go 4 byin' in. And, we would need to put mudder's on it which is gonna run you another $300. I'd like to put a lift on it, but it's not essential. Anyway. As of right now, the jeep is a no.

I rode my bike last night, even in the dark with my bad holy paranoyed terrified self batman. That was for you Wen.

Oh yeah, thanks to everyone who commented on describing me in one word >:O. I got Caring...awww, Fun...ok I can go along with that, Spoiled....grrrr, and Dramatic....I agree with geez. HARSH! So now I am in the sad lumpity dumpity armpits of blah-ism today.

Not to mention, the new boss is CHANGING a lot of stuff..that adds to my blah-ism mentality today. I mean, the stuff he is doing, it is the right thing to do as far as being correct and warehousing legitimately goes. Just lots of changes.

I think we will probably be going muddin' again this weekend. Hopefully so. Cept' I like climbing stuff better than going through the mud. I think if I had the extra money I would like to build a rock crawler! :) I like the whole, not being able to see whats in front of you just as you are finally clearing the top and start to head down again to the ground below. Adrenalin baby!

soo...well...I will write more latah probably.

I am going to try to introduce the Fox home to Napoleon tonight :-D peazzz out.

Redneck Saga continues...

We are going to look at a jeep cherokee after work today. $1200, good condition, four wheel drive. Need I say more? We will need to put mudders on and I would like to add a grill guard, but that adds weight. It's a 93, good condition, and black!

Dave and Damons Excellent Adventures

Apparently I am "redneck"....according to Rachel R. :P

I will give you a short run down of the weekend. That will explain the above comment.

Friday night was a blast! Morgan, Cha, if you are reading...sup yo! Anyway....the highlight was being a kid again and playing hide and seek. Most of the game was normal basic routine...but on the last go Cha was like "Kasey I found the perfect spot" it was a storage area IN the wall behind the reciliner with a fairly small door (small for a fat person anyway) Morgan was IT and was counting down stairs...chanlder when in first then I squeeeezzed in and once in side found it quite roomy! Well, cha couldnt get the door close so I did a little mcguiver manouver and got it, then I asked...are we gonna be able to get out?! Anyway, chandler was laughing and I was like think mean think mean! To try and keep from laughing. Well, morgan wasn't finding us...and she was really close so I too then started laughing and shes like "you guys are creeping me out" and she said it sounded like we were in the wall...we were! She was so cute! Anyway, she finally found us but it was so fun and the best part is... my stuffed little sausage of myself made it back out!

Got up early saturday and headed home...got animals to vet...found out rachel wasn't able to spend night *CRY* annnnnd that wendy was shopping for groceries *major bummer # 2* but I picked rachel up for a girls day! We went to eat chinese...YUM! Then we went home and FINALLY watched the TAPED AI! She loves mandisa cus shes chunky and still hot! She did not like McFeva tho and said she WOULD not be watching that around Brad...:P THEN damon came home and guess what...heres the good stuff and redneck remark explanation...Damon said his buddy dave called and wanted to go 4 wheeling. WAHOOOOOOO...begged rachel to go, so much for a girls night. She said ok, we changed into pants...good thing too! Well we followed out in my car to a spot to park then we went to this clearing in the trees, no good muddin spots...so we made our own way...literally! If the tree was dead and in the way, he just rammed it down. I seriously dont even know HOW we made it out! And...there was this one rock we got stuck on that damon had to jack the bumper off of and dave hit the gas...well then there was this place to climb and dave said theres a 50/50 chance we could flip. Damon and Rachel got out, but not me, YEAH BABY! Rock on, it was so awesome, we cleared it flawlessly! PTL I prayed we wouldnt flip! Well after about two hours in the forrest and finally making it out! We went to a mud hole and did some AWESOME DONUTS! ( I said that for you Rachel) and rachel squealed...."MUD IS MORE FUN!!!" It was so funny and I full intend on making a t shirt to remember this experience! Anyway! NEXT we went to a place of Rutland road, the road has that name for a reason! Well we were having fun, even found a skeery looking old graveyard that we thought had this table in it for satan worshipers....over active imaginations...I think it truly freaked everyone out...anyway we were go through all sorts of stuff...and they finally decided to attempt the hole that damon and I had almost sunk in before but made it out of ONLY cus he gunned it through it! Well damons truck sits WAY higher than Dave's Jimmy. Rachel and I were in the back, damon got out to see how deep it truly was...we decided to go....here we gooooo!!!!!!! *engine dies* we're stuck, REALLY stuck! I look out my window and water is literally a foot away from my window. My feet sorta feel wet...surely theres not water in the cab....I look down and put my hand on the floor....ooooooh yeah, theres water! LOTS OF IT! We are gonna have to hike out to my car and get reinforcements to get this thing out! We were in a mud hole about 3-4ft deep! Dave crawls out onto the top of his truck then off to the DRY-ER mud, rachel then crawls on top of the jimmy and down the hood and to safety...my turn. You guessed it...crawled out on top and onto the shore. We walked out about 10 minutes to the main road all the while a crazy bird making wwweeeird noises behind us. Oh yeah. did I mention before dave crawled out he reaches behind his seat in between rachel and i and say excuse me and grabs his PISTOL!!!!!! I said, uh what do you need that for, he says I like carrying guns! Rachel says, do you have a permit, he looks at her, smiles like "you silly girl" and says, yes i do. We hiked just up the road to my car, which I am SOOOO GLAD we brought and decided NOT to park it where we originally thought, which was about 5 more miles down the road! Oh yeah, its REALLY dark, but we got dave, damon, and the gun. we're safe, right?! That was our night...awesome huh!

Rachel says, all her life, she has managed to keep her integrity and her freedom from redneck-dom. And now, she loses it all in one night? We don't sound redneck do we? :P

What can I say...

the song comes to mind... "one hot momma..."

From my Antarctic Photo Booth!

Another Dozen!

Damon just surprised me with another Dozen Roses...three dozen in one week. Not bad...major points!

Animal Control

I have called animal control...hopefully these people don't do something to me. I can report anonymously but, I am probably the only one who has actually ASKED them face to face about their dog?! YIKES pray for my safety :P

Wonderful World of....

Busy Weekends!

Tonight I am spending the night with Morgan. The girl loves me and I love her too! Ever find that person that seems to be a "kindred soul", someone so much like you its fun to hang out with them because they are just as weird and quirky as yourself? That is Morgan. I know she is lots younger than me, but I can't help smiling when I am around her. The girl has an energizer plugged in her back...I KNOW it. She is so much like me when I was her age. I hope I can have a positive affect on her life and she will remember me, long after I am gone. She has great parents who are Godly and love her to pieces and she possibly has the best home life a child can have, but I want her to remember me for being a true friend to her in her adolescent years. Friend have impact on your life. To be a true friend I must show myself friendly foremost then I will have great friends as well.

There is so much in this life than can take you down so many roads. I know some people don't think I am normal, or fit into their mold of someone they would want to hang around. Some might find me all together to blunt, or annoying. I can't change what is me, or who I am. I can only work on the imperfections as I seek for PERFECTION. I know I am not there yet. I have a loud, bubbly, some what of a drama queen personality. I was born with that and for a long time I wanted to be one of those quiet and meek girls that are just so dainty. I felt like I was messed up because I wasn't like that. Recently in the past few years I have come to realize I am who I am and that is how God made me. If everyone was like me, the world would be chaos. If everyone was like that meek and quiet girl, it would be boring. Character is the spice of life. Accept my character and I will accept yours. Mostly beyond all this, all my quirks, I am truly seeking to live more and more for Christ. I don't want to miss His coming. I want to make it. I have prayed, "God take me before I were ever to fall from you" thats an honest prayer. I would rather God take me home, before I ever fell away and left Him. I never want to be in that place. I realize mistakes are made in life, I have made my fair share. Its about getting up and dusting off and starting over. We need to love everyone as we love ourselves. I need to love joe blow off the street and welcome him, just as I would my brother in law. I'm tired of cliques. Everyone needs to be involved. Everyone needs to be greeted. I am sure I have failed at this, but I am trying. I need the Lord to teach me how to love, love will truly conquer all.

My perfume is really wantin to make me sneeze today. It smells good, but shooooooooo, man! *achoooo* Ok, I didn't literally sneeze, but I have the nose ticklies!

Oh yeah...back to this weekend. I am spending the night as I said, with Morgan tonight. Then I gotta get up early and head home, cus I have to have the animals to the vet by 10am for there yearly shots and boosters or whatever.
After the vet I am going to pick up Rachel., then possibly/hopefully, wendy! I am not sure what we are going to do on Saturday...I kicked Damon out :P (not literally, I asked) and he is going to Brad's to we can truly have a girls day/night! I am making banana pudding, I know that! Maybe we can go to opry mills and play put put in the dark!

Last night I soooo cleaned my house! Felt good! I don't LOVE cleaning like Tammy F. BUT, it annoys me if stuff is outa place or dirty so I clean more based out of a OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) habit than anything else. I got a new picture at WalMart last night! It is sooo purdy! I love pretty and tasteful things, and often I have caviare taste on a capt' d's budget, but this picture was beautiful and guess how much it cost?! READY?! FIVE BUCKS! It was on a clearance sale! I was so excited! My house is finally starting to look somewhat decorated. Again, I am not a Tammy F. OR Amy D. but still lookin pretty good!

oh yeah...back to cleaning, I dusted, swept, mopped, vacummed, cleaned the toilet and bathroom, did LAUNDRY, washed dishes (the last two things listed are my LEAST favorite), hung pictures, hung clothes up/put away clothes. It felt so good! The only thing I didn't get to was vacumming my couch. I wanted to do that since I will have no time before Rachel gets there. I might have a little before I take pets to vet, but not much.

And, LUCKY has STILL not gone to the vet. I am debating on calling animal control and seeing if they can do something about it. The poor dog lays out in the cold, licking his wound, and I am NOT going to the peoples house again alone. I am serious, I am not trying to be judemental, but I need to use wisdom. They seem abit shady, I think I need to take Damon if I go again. Maybe take them some cookies or something. I would be willing to pay for him to get fixed, if they would pay me back. But if they lie to me about taking him to the vet, how can I trust them to pay me back. Would they even be agreeable to that? Who knows, I just feel so sorry for him.

Well, this a pretty long post. CYA

It's official

I am a failure as a wife.

Why doesn't this position come with an operators manual?

mmmhmm....yeah....right

Today stinks!
MEN!
Slept on couch last night!
GRRRR!

I hate feeling like my opinion or wants DONT MATTER!
So glad I am still having a girls weekend even though Men's retreat was cancelled!
Church was good last night, though I didn't get much outa the service cus I was holdin my lid'l buddy! You guessed it...bennie boo boo boo (watch how to lose a guy in 10 days, you will see the line, use TV Guardian tho :) He smiled at me, like three times. That kids a jumper for bein so tiny! Already trying to hold his head up too! I am a proud bennie watcher, can ya tell! He looks like a leprocon (or however you spell it) in a cute way. Hey erika, he puked on me too, twice! Well, he puked...not on me. I guess he's gonna have to get some more strength behind it to match up with kailee! Love the look of curdeled milk...mmmmmmmmm! :P Oh yeah, I forgot to say...I sang at church last night..,"Jesus Take The Wheel" I was really nervous. I think I sounded pretty good, I cracked slightly in one place though. I know its how you worship the Lord while you sing that matters, but I think it's normal to want to sound good. It was actually a LOT easier to sing up there, except on the high stuff at the end, I was nervous and my lips was twitching. Hope yall couldn't see that...lol!

Busy again at work today, man its cold in here too! I got my little heater on my feet . Tummy hurts...

Umm, well pray for me today.
love yall

WHERES DA LOVE

MUST SLEEP

Damon has two really big side jobs going on right now. Lots of $$$$ all going towards bills and prepaying taxes. Ahhh the life of an adult! Guess that statement may sound like we are in tons of debt...we aren't. Actually we are pretty good debt wise right now, THANK THE LORD!
Anyway..back to the side jobs. My hubby is a painter and aside from his regular job he paints on the side as hiw own business. The lady we painted for last night is the wife of Pete Drake...I don't know if you recognize that name, I plan to google it today. He was a big time country musician. He has passed, but she is letting the museum here in nashville display his gold and platinum records! He has like TONS! "most promising musician 1964" He has worked with olivia newton john, kenny rogers, bob dylon. It was amazing, thats my dream man! To have those records like that. Anyway, he passed away from emphazema. :(
Back to the side job again, why I am so tired...we didnt get home till after 10 pm after working a regular day.....bed time was after 11. THEN the neighbors decided to rev their engines for a half hour between the times of 2:30 am and 3:00. Guess who woke up to hear it all...yep, ME! GRRRRR

Todays gonna be pretty busy, not real motivated to work since my eyes are hurting me.

Gracie...email me.

Rachel finally posted, wooohooo!

Guess what Kasey is doing this weekend, I was sposed tos pend the night with Morgan and Tammy during the men's retreat, well it got canceled. I knew morgan would be bummed, so I called her to see if I was still coming but expecting not to cus I thought Tammy would want to spend time with Steve since he was going to be home. I got an email....I'm spending the night Friday, and then it's Rachel on Saturday. Truly a girls weekend! Damon is getting kicked out and sent to Brads! All the while, I am remember that Morgan has a energizer in her back, and I am getting really tired just thinking about it...haha. Oh well, fun times! That girl is so me, cept skinny :P

Speaking of skinny, skinny people annoy me. Why must I be cursed with the fat?! lol...I know I know, My choice, but I truly think I am not meant to be a SKINNY person, cus I never really have been skinny, cept when I was little little. Oh well...I'm not fat...I am lusciously plump as damon calls it..mwaahahhaha *YEAH RIGHT* Gonna ride my bike since its so nice today!

Peace out yall, I need to work!

My roses....
















more of my roses....with a blurry pic of my super sweet card at the bottom!












The Azalea plant my momma gave me over a year ago, look how big and pretty it is! Still alive too, I'm a good plant momma! :P









GG (Wendy's youngest girl) at my house last Sunday (two sundays ago I should say) Aint she cuuuuuuuuute!

pictures or no pictures

I am posting.

By the title of my previous post you can pretty well digest what happened for my anniversary. I got home and found one dozen yellow roses in a paint can (my husbands a painter)...I know, not very romantic...but understanding him, it was cute. So I'm thinking, not bad Damon, not bad, a full dozen! Then I go into our bedroom to go potty and there lay on our bed one dozen RED roses, all together now...awwwwwwwwww. The card read: 1 dozen for last year and another for this year. I love you. Woohooo did he score points with that one!

Damon had been working outside so I found these roses without him to see well then he came inside, I was crying by this point. I had had a REALLY rough day. He just held me and let my cry until I was finished, it was what I needed and very sweet.

For dinner he took me to Red Lobster. I had told him I wanted to go there awhile back, but I also told him I wanted to go to the fondu place here...man I can't remember the name OH YEAH The Melting Pot. Well, he didn't want to go there, cus he said he wanted to EAT not just eat little piece of stuff. Or something like that. Anyway we went to Red Lobster and it was ummy yummy! He is a chicken and afraid to step out of the box so he got steak (he's not much of a seafood person) and I got the Seafood Trio. Fried Shrimp, Shrimp Scampi, and Seafood Linguini. First we had a appetizer of cheese sticks, I wanted to try the lobster pizza, but he wouldn't go for it. After the meal we got (well, I got) dessert: Bananas Foster Cheesecake. It wasn't as good as I had expected, but pretty good!

After dinner, he showed me how to get to a sidejob I am helping him on tonight (oh so romantic) then he stopped at DQ for his dessert. I got something too, thought I would take a bite then freeze it for later...well I got there new flavor French Silk Pie.....great if you love chocolate. Not great if you dont. I like french silk pie, but this DID NOT taste like french silk pie....I threw it away. Ew.

I miss wendy :(

Busy at work lately, new boss, new changes...cya

Two Dozen Roses, Red Lobster, and a Really Sweet Card...awww

If Blogger was WORKING I would post the pictures of my roses on here, but since it isn't and I am now totally disgusted with it...I'm not gonna post! GRRRRRRRR

Sometimes I REALLY dislike Blogger! My Ice Cap Melted

Especially when it says I am posting on my blog but then puts the final post on the VLB blog! Grrrrrrrrr

Well....goodness gracious stinky balls of ruin my day fire. If you haven't guessed with that statement and my title, I am pretty much bummed. Antarctica lost. Guess who won...the one who said she would. Sis Kim. Lance did some pretty amazing stuff and they looked cool. I guess I can't help feeling bummed, after they announced the winner I actually went to my hubbys truck and cried. I felt I had worked so hard. I didn't have people to help me except Damon. And michael helped a little bit. Other than that it was me...hand sewed my igloo...got 99% of my food donated. I worked really hard. I got Lobster, Shrimp, stuffed crab, Grilled fish, crab stuffed mushrooms, I mean I really had a lot. I tried to follow Kim's layout of HOW the event would be judged. I had hand outs, lots of food, information and facts about my continent, games, decorations. I had it all. I even had a raffle to raise more money for missions. Yet I still lost. People told me my food had it! They thought I had won. I sold all my tickets for an extra 100 points. Did that even help? I mean people said it was between Kim or me. Hers was great. They had some great decorations and I loved the eggrolls. I don't know I don't want to be a bad sport or a whiner. I just worked really really hard and I really wanted to win. I gave 110% and I didn't want a award for "most fun" just so every continent could have something. I guess I don't feel it was judged by the guidelines that we were told it would be. I mean I dont think ill'ly (that a word?) of those that won...just bummed. Totally bummed *sigh* The good news is we raised a lot of money in one night. I am not sure which total is correct, at one point I heard $900 and at another time $1500. Erika and Lance got to be there which was pretty cool. Erika really loves her baby and has taken on the mom roll totally, kind of weird to see! She gets around pretty good in a cast too. And Kailee has initiated me. I am officially puked on :) But it was just a little bit. I think Kailee likes me though, cus I managed to keep her from crying and she even smiled and jumped while I was holding her! She's a cute baby and I love her facial expressions. It's actually really funny! They all looked pretty good in their kimonos too.

Oh and again about Lucky, the day after I posted about what his owner had told me, ther he lay in the yard with no cast. She had not taken him to the vet as she had said. I haven't seen him since. I don't know what has happened, maybe he finally made it to the vet.

Today is Damon and I's two year anniversary. We married March 20th, 2004. We have had a lot of ups and downs, even as up to yesterday. But this morning he surprised me with a really sweet card that he put a lot of effort into finding and he wrote a personal message in it. Then he hugged me for a long time said he loved me with all his heart and soul and he cried, more of a soft sob on my neck/shoulder while we were hugging. It was actually pretty sweet and romantic. So that made things good.

Then I go to leave and when getting in my car amongst the rain...I spill my orange juice on my seat. *GRRR* so I run in side and get a towel and carpet cleaner and clean it up and put a towel down over it so I don't have to sit on it. Then...the stuff I was eating for breakfast...drops on the floor of my car *MAJOR GRRR* needless to say it was a rough morning.

One good thing...I stopped to get gas, sign said 2.43 and that is the lowest I have seen the past few days (Cept walmart and I didnt have time to go there) so I thought I would stop. I noticed when I was fueling it said 2.23 on the pump...I thought hmmmm....I need to tell them. So, when I was finished I ran in and got a water and some breakfast and told the guy it charged me 2.23 instead of 2.43 and that I would pay the difference. He said no, what it reads it was you get it for. WOOHOO. I got gas 20cents cheaper!

Well that is about it... bye

Update on Lucky

Thank you all for praying...I found out that Lucky does in fact have a home. I met his owner last night. I saw him laying in the yard and asked if it was her dog. She said yes it was, that he had got hit by a car at her dad's house. She said she was taking him to the vet today that the vet had not been able to get him in until today. Now I find that kind of hard to believe, but I am just hoping she follows through with her word. She seemed nice enough. She said once she gets his leg fixed she is going to put an add in the paper about him. She is giving him away because her son is allergic to him. And, lastly...Lucky is not named Lucky...his real name is "Via" like the word via air mail....go figure. Anyhoo...I'm sposed to be fairly busy today so I thought I would give a quick GREAT update! Pray she does what she say now though! CYA

yo yo yo, antarctica off da hooook babee

How did I sound, did I sound like a true OG! hahahaha!

Okay, I talked to Rachel last night, but before I get into that...people think I am cheating? ME?! Sweet little innocent me?! I don't get it *innocent smirk*
Anyway, Rachel has a really good idea that she told me about and now...now I am forced to get something else. *SIGH* I also heard about Kim's possible "secret weapon". So, I am bringin the guns out people! I have been going to bed way late all week with this stuff! Kasey be wore out and now I am getting sick! MUST NOT GET SICK!

Ew....just had a bran muffin, you know when you eat something then you think about what you just ate and it's kinda like the thought doesn't set will with your stomach. That's me right now...tasted good, but now that I think about it...blech!

I haven't seen Lucky since yesterday Morning. Don't know what is going on!

Today I have to call...oh wait. I can't say who I need to call!

DID U ALL WATCH AI LAST NIGHT? Man, poor girl she can really sing! I vote for Kevin to be booted next! I was soooooooooo happy Ace and Lisa were in the bottom, yet surprised too!

I was gonna say something else....*thinking*...need to do more interenet research...umm....man WHAT was I gonna say?!

Boss needs me.got to go!

almost time

It's almost time to go home...30 minutes, add another 35 plus another 10 for a short stop along the way and I will find out whats going on with Lucky.

I guess maybe I am dumb...I been worrying about the little guy all day. I wish Damon would let me have him. I been crying all day, eyes are hurting right now.

God will handle it some way. I wish he'd tell Damon to let me have him :)

see yall later.

Totally Bummed about Lucky

Okay here's the story...

I have been seeing this little dog for about 3-4 days running around the neighborhood. He looks like a Pomeranian except about 12 inches tall. Anyway, last night Damon and I were out walking and riding bikes, we were all the way down by the Junior High and we saw the dog again. This is a big area he's roaming. What caught my eye is he hold his leg up very close to his body. Well this morning I saw him again and I stopped and he actually came to me (I have called and called him before and he won't come), I got a good look at his leg...it appears broken, theres open skid and blood and flesh. I had honey in the car with me, and I didnt know if I picked him up if he would bite, though he seemed very nice, but I'm sure the leg hurt and sometimes they bight out of pain. So I went around to the other side of the car (while my car is in the middle of the road literally) to get the leash. I got the leash and he wouldn't let me catch him again. He ran off. At first he would let me get about five feet away from him, but that was it, he finally left though. He had a collar on, but no tags. I felt him and he didn't appear REALLY skinny, but he has lots of hair soo I don't know how well I could tell anyway. He needs a vet. I want to keep him but Damon says no. I called the vet it's about $33 for an examination and $50 for an x ray. And, whatever amount to set the leg depending on how bad it is. There is a lady I know who says her mom may want it, but only if its a girl. I was crying over this poor little dog. If people can't take care of animals why do they have them? How could you abuse them either? I don't get it. Anyway, my dilemma is: how to catch him, how to pay for the vet bill, what to do with him post vet visit, making damon let me keep him/finding a home for him.
I know its silly and that its a little animal, but it means a lot to me. Please pray that "Lucky" will let me catch him and that a way to pay for the vet will appear, that I can find a home for him or Damon will let me keep him. Or that God will send him to his owners and they will take him to a vet. Just that God will take care of it. I'm so bummed about this, please pray for the little dog. Please. :(

*wonders*

*Wonders where everyone is*

Grace...Wen...Erika...???? helloooooooooo! Megan atleast you are faithful. Even if you aren't on my team...I still love you! :-D

Did everyone see my momma's link? yaya momma!
http://kdbaby1.blogspot.com

Work has been somewhat eventful today. They are moving what product we do have, all around. Unfortunately they moved the break shoes up here by the warehouse and it STINKS...*getting high unitentionally* *GAG*

I have sold all my 10 tickets for my team! WOOHOO and thank the Lord! $50 for missions! 10 more tickets to go!

Today is a good day, THANK YOU LORD!

I have sold lots of tickets

AFRICA....ASIA.....AUSTRALIA.....EUROPE....SOUTH AMERICA.... hope you all are doing as well as Antarctica is! PTL! I do know it will be fun, but I still want to win :P hehehe wooooooooooooooooooh! This is fun!

THANKS ERIKA!!! For the great ideas!

Man antarctica is going to so rule! This is so fun and awesome YAY!

Monday, Headache, more Monday

I have a headache...steadily getting worse. Throat feels like sickness coming.

Bad day, don't want to talk about it on here.

Grumpy.

Thats about it.

Pray for Kasey.

She needs it.

Nobody loves me, gonna go eat worms.

*cries* where did all the comments go, none here anymore *sigh* I neeeeeeeeed comments to make me feel like you are reading and care people. Yes I am needy and a freak...get over it *self realization moment*

OH YEAH, I forgot!

I forgot to tell you all...I made pizza last night and it was my best EVER!!! Oh my, Parmesano Regiano MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!

American Idol...WHOA?

Can we say SURPRISE? All together now...SURPRISE! Was anyone shocked that Gedeon did NOT make it? And that Kevin did? When we went to Tammy's to watch AI, Tammy and I both agreed that out of the guys Kevin and Will would be gone. When watching it last night it was a total surprise to me! Ayla to! I thought Melissa would have gone before Ayla!! Ok enough about American Idol.

Right now I need to go research a invoice for a customer that has never paid and the bill of from July of 04'. Yep O4'! People need to pay their bills!

Today is My momma and daddy's Anniversary! Happy Anniversary Momma and Daddy! It's either 32 or 33 years! I thank the Lord for this, cus my Daddy isn't saved....YET! God has kept them together and held my Momma up when she thought she couldn't. We are hoping to go on a cruise next year to celebrate together since Damon and I's is only 10 days after theirs.

How about that rain last night?! And the wind! Phew it was blastin out in Old Hickory! I wish it would do that again, I love storms!

Back to AI, I watched it in total comfort...in the garage. Yes, in the garage, of all places! Damon is working on Brother Bryon's car and he is wanting to get it finished (side note: he was nervous about getting it together right cus it's a large job, but thank the Lord God has helped him!) and he wanted to watch it too and he wanted me to see how things were going on the car so I joined him in the garage and plugged our tV up out there. It was actually kind of nice and an evening I will remember more than all the other "comfy" nights on the regular couch! For a family event I even took Honey with me and Junior, but the first time the air compressor kicked on, Junior wanted out and was skeered so I had to take him back into the house (junior is my younger cat, that I still like to baby!).

Today is a great day! I am happy! You know, I fall down...I fail even, but who hasn't. Who in this world has NEVER messed up! I am thankful God helps me up and puts me back on the right path. I am thankful for His salvation, for His grace (and for Gracie too), for His Church that I am a part of. Who would have thought, a girl who grew up in denominationalism and Rodeo, would ever be apart of THE Church of God. Its humbling and I am so thankful! I am thankful for my Husband, for My family (even though they are 2000 miles away, approx 36 hours of driving time), for my home, for my friends, for life. Today is a great day to be alive!

Tired

Haven't felt much like posting today. Tired right now. Been a stressful and sorta down day for me.

Went to Sis Tammy's house last night after Church to watch the guys of AI. Taylor and Elliot rocked it. They were my favorites of the night. The two young white guys are going home, and Ace...I can hardly stand him. I hope he gets voted off. blech. What think ye?

Going to make nana pudding tonight maybe. Don't know for sure.

My team for the VLB thing next Saturday is Team Antarctica. I have some GRRREAT ideas, but I can't share because some of my competitors read this blog :P.
ciao baby

Bling Bling and shine on baby!

Whew! American Idol was grrrrrrreat last night!! Here's my favorites:

Katherine Mc"Fever"- awesome voice, and she had fun and just rockin!
Mandisa- BAM! Need I say more, girl got pipes!
Melissa- Think she rocks at Rockin!
Kelli- Yes, after my comment I am pickin pickler! Not because she had the greatest voice, but like one of the judges says. Shes consistent and she is getting better and better.

Surprisingly I am not rooting for Paris as much anymore, she seems to be dimming in my opinion. And, Lisa Tucker was a lot more likeable with straight hair as dumb as that sounds. Kinnik, I am still rootin for her cus I know shes got pipes, but she ain't bringing it! Ayla, well to me she just fade into the background! I don't think shes awful, but not great. Who knows. I think its coming down to more than just voice, but peformance as a whole, and as Simon says the LIKEABILITY factor.

Tonight is the guys, gonna have to tape it cus will be in Church. Will give my review of them at a later date!

Sis Kim called me at 6:44 am! She's like I hope I didn't wake you up, I thought I remembered you saying you have to be at work at 7:00. I'm like yeah I'm already in Mt. Juliet! It was funny! I'm a team leader for Jame's place. I hope I get some cool people on my team. We are doing a world trade place and each team has a continent they are representing. I chose Antarctica. I Know, a tough one...but I like a challenge. You wait n see, it's gonna rock!

For Dinner I had cereal...mmm! Made Damon Buffalo Chicken. I haven't lost any more weight! *sigh* Oh well, 7 off is good, gonna keep trying! See yall!

Bling Bling and shine on baby!

Its a new day. I have found a website that I just absolutely adore. It is http://www.northernessence.com
you really need to go check it out. It is all natural and made in the USA, in Illinois in fact. They have baby lines, pregnant mommy lines (of product), teenagers, kids, for him. etc. You will see. I found that site on a board I am a member of, it is:
http://prairiehomemaker.com
You can check that out too if you aren interested. Has a lot of info for stay at home moms and even jobs at home, everything. Its a HUGE forum.

First day with the "new" boss. Things are going good, and he seems pretty laid back.

Had my banana pudding last night...oh my it was so yummy! I made steak, home made mashed taters and corn from my daddys garden. My dad freezer packs his corn and I fly it home after I visit them. You can't beat it, its soooo yummy and sweet. MMMM I can't stand canned corn now! Anyway, Damon thought dinner was really good, I must still be recovering because I normally like all of the things I just mentioned above, but not last night. I just didn't have a taste for it. He said it was good, so that means something cus he rarely comments. The steaks were bacon wrapped, but to me they weren't good. And, the mashed potatoes had to much garlic in them I thought or something. Maybe its cus the last thing I had ate before I puked had garlic in it. I don't know, but the whole house smelled like food. EW! I am weird, I pretty much have to wash or anti bacterial gel my hands after I eat. I dont like the smell of food on them and I dont like it in my house. I lit candles and it eventually went away. I know... OCD!

Well I may write more later, tonight is AI and wendy....BAM! hahahahaha! One chicken nacho comin up! Watch your heads people! Anyhoo, I am rootin for a guy believe it or not. TAYLOR ROCKS! Sis Viv wants Kelly Pickler. Dont pick pickler! I either want Taylor or the White girl that does Jazz! I do NOT like, the young black girl with long curly hair...and I do not like the black guy with the HUUUUUUUUUGE smile! Those two I cannot hardly stand in the competition. Not as like if I were to meet them in real life, I just think they are to confident and I dont want them to win! I would be satisfied if Mandisa won or Chris the rocker!
toodles!

Finally

First of all, I was on my personal blog and went to blog this and it came up under the correct blog NOT the VLB blog then when I published my post it put it on the VLB blog. It does that a lot! Grrr *irritated*

So here is my post...

Here you go Grace! I been fairly busy between work, billing, chatting, watching a movie, and letting my dog out of the car to go potty. So I am finally here to post. Though, I am afraid it won't be long. I have some stuff to receive here at work.

This weekend went pretty much as I posted last on my blog. Damon went to his dad's to work on his truck. Except I went with him. I know, wasn't what I had dreamed up, but I wanted to spend time with him so I went. I stopped at the grocery and got a few things then went to Richards. Was out there till around 1:30 and decided to come. I cleaned the house, and I don't mean just straightened up. I sorted through junk and threw a big box away. I actually took stuff off my dresser and dusted under neath. I even dusted picture frames. Completely cleared kitchen counter off and scrubbed them. Organized spare bedroom and even organized the laundry/storage room. Cleaned the bathroom, swept, mopped, vacummed, man it felt good! My house was purty. Til Damon came home with muddy feet. But atleast he took his shoes off. He didnt get home til after 6 *whine*. He was almost done when I left at 130. But he decided to "drive through a mud hole" with his friend and got "stuck". I was highly irritated. I been sitting at home waiting and he goes off and has fun! Not to mention I love four wheeling, and have been wanting to really go since we got married. Yeah TWO years and here he finally goes to a good spot and it's without me! I was hurt. Oh well....my tummy was still hurting but I finally ate (I had tried to eat at lunch, didnt eat much though) the food I ate didnt sit well with me. He ended up wanting to go out, so after I had just eaten I didn't have much of an appetite. Their banana pudding was grrrrrrrrreat though! Yum. Banana pudding is superb when done right! Yum Yum! The bananas have to be ripe and the nilla wafers have to be soft. Not mushy, soft! Big difference. Speaking of banana pudding, I made some last night. YUM! I gave Grace the recipe. I will post on here, so you can try if you like. One thing is, it's low fat. Best part is you can't tell. Know how I know its good, Damon told me it was good and he didn't know it was low fat. He does NOT like healthy food. So, it must really be yummy! Its soooo yummy! Ok, heres recipe:

3-4 Ripe bananas
1 Large box Instant Vanilla Pudding (not sugar free)
*you will need fat free milk to mix with pudding powder, mix according to directions, mine was 3 cups*
1 can fat free sweetened condensed milk
1 box reduced fat Nilla Wafers
1 small container fat free cool whip

Line the bottom of deep dish with 3/4 of box of wafers
Slice bananas thinly then place evenly over wafers
Mix pudding according to box directions, as soon as you have thoroughly mixed add can of fat free sweetened condensed milk.
Pour over bananas and wafers
Top with cool whipPlace remaining wafers around edges.
Let set atleast 20 minutes, over night is best if you life soft wafers. Not mushy, soft.
Enjoy!

Yum it's sooooo good!

Church was really good yesterday too! After morning service Damon and I went to look at a side job. Its an outside job, will be somewhere in the $2500 range. Hopefully he gets it. Lots of ways to use the extra money!
Well ttyl!

Megan

Just talked to Megan, she's having a great time!!

I shall post

Since Damon won't get me internet *WAAAAHHHH* I will make the most of the internet at work and post, hopefully tiding over till Monday.

I just had a first real meal since puke fest 06'. I don't think cereal counts. But I had chicken lo mein with a egg roll. I didn't manage to eat much of it, but what I did eat was...YUMMY! There is one good thing about all this, that is I have lost 6lbs. Hopefully I will lose more. Gonna try.

Anyway...guess what I read on a local new stations website today. Convicted child rapest disappears. Guess where this child rapest lives....LAKEWOOD. *shivers* For those of you who AREN'T familiar with TN or where I live, I live IN Lakewood. Lakewood is nestled in the middle of the town Old Hickory. The whole town of lakewood its self is probably about 5blocks long and 4 blocks deep. It's very very small area. That means this child rapest is VERY VERY close to me. Who knows, hes probably living in my garage. *more shivers* ewwwww

*going to health food store tonight*

Found some disturbing news out recently. Damons mamaw apparently has a Anuerism in her brain which has not broke lose yet PTL! She will die when and if it does, least I think. Those things are pretty serious. I say PTL, because it has not happened yet, which means she still has time to get saved. Please pray for her. Her name is Nada Broyles.

Have no idea what the plans are for this weekend. I know damon got some parts for his fixer upper 79. He got the floor pans, which he needs to cut the old ones out and then weld the new ones in. When he's done its going to be a nice old truck. I have even helped with sanding it! Anyway, damon's plans are to work on that tomorrow, which means I am either helping him, or cleaning. I need to clean especially since I have been sick and haven't cleaned much. Just now getting my strength back. I kinda miss my boys, believe it or not. They usually come over every weekend, its been a while. (I'm talking about my nephews, just in case you didn't know.)

This is gonna sound silly, but, please pray for Turbo. He's a dog, he belongs to our neighbors that their backyard shares a fence with ours. They have had several complaints over his barking. But its not his fault. He just sits and barks at teh back of the house, cus' they don't give him any attention. Literally just leave him outside chained up all day and night. I go out and give him bones to try to pay some attention and keep him quiet for awhile. I have thought about asking for him, but I know Damon wouldn't be happy about that. Please pray that they either start paying attention to him, or he's given a good home. They don't be mean to him, they just don't love him. The poor thing, its all he wants, just attention. The couple has a baby coming, which means he will be even worse off. They have a Rottweiler too, Lexi is her name. She's MEAN. Geesh. But I managed to give her some bones and hand fed her. After I was done she looked like she wanted to tear me apart. Inards and all. *more shivers*

I look cute today, least I think. And grace...I'm wearing my gauchos! Cept mine look more like a skirt then comfy pants!

Have a great weekend, and have a heart...comment!

OHHH yeah...got my latest accompaniment tracks to sing at church. "Jesus Take the Wheel" and "What If" YESSSS!

It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood

I hope everybody has a great day.

Don't feel much like blogging, but I do hope you all dream dreams and live THE life in Christ. Smile and be happy!

puking

I am soooo wore out. Starting at 11:45 Tuesday night I puked every 1.5-2 hours for a total of 6 trips to the garbage basket. The last time I puked was around 8:30 wednesday morning. *sigh* It was awful. I was coming and going from both ends (not to be gross) and you know when you have a dream and you can see yourself but your outside of your body. Thats me right now. In a total daze. Was in bed literally all day with the exception of about 30mins on the couch. I just got the nerve up to eat some oatmeal. First thing I have eaten since Tuesday. My back is sore from bottom to mid back, I guess from puking. My stomach is sore. I am so tired. That was my day yesterday. I think I need a nap now.
