About Me

I'm in love && it's wonderful.
"The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on outside."
-Robert Stuberg
I don't know where life is taking me yet, but that's okay. Maybe I'll save the world, maybe I'll just make a difference in the life of one person. At the end of the day, you've got to do what you love and be with the one you love. As far as I'm concerned, if I've got that, I've got everything I'll ever need.
Sometimes I get crazy, sometimes I cry for no apparent reason, and sometimes I'm the biggest bitch ever. That's me, though. Take it or leave it.
All I want in life to be happy and for those around me to be happy. That won't always happen, I know, but life will go on, & I'll continue to live each day to the fullest and without regrets.
I have a livejournal that I rarely write in. In case you're interested, though, here's the link.

My parents. They cook AND do most of my laundry. I know I bitch about living here still, but really, what more could I ask for? Thank you.

Brandon, my love & my longneck. You have my ♥. You're the bestest. Don't ever forget that. I love you baby!

Keshia, my homie since 3rd grade. You've been through things people should have never have to go through, but you're still here to tell about it. I love you. You're a beautiful person. Thanks for stickin' with me!

My dog, Brac, is really sick.  He runs a fever every night, and he's lost almost 4 pounds since last week, which is a lot when you only weight 30-ish pounds.  10 days ago the vet did blood w...

I have a new baby cousin!!  Sadie Ann.  I'm not sure if that's how they spell it, but it's a super cute name.  Horrah for baby cousins.

I haven't blogged in a while as I have nothing to blog about.  School, work, life, the usual that I'm sure no one cares to hear about. I'm going to watch the new episode of Desperate Housewives i...

Today

My Brandon is home.  And I'm loving every minute of it.  I hope we get his shoulder fixed soon though.  I don't like to see him hurting. I bought a scooter today!  Not like the Raz...

who knew?

So Brandon is tentatively coming home Tuesday night.  He hurt his shoulder really bad, so he's coming home for "medical leave" kind of, I guess.  I want to see him, don't get me wrong, but I...

I'm surviving without him.  It's hard, although I did actually expect the world to stop turning on its axis once I realized he really wasn't coming over Tuesday night.  Every time I hear a l...
