Little Caylee Marie Anthony

Hello Family of mine~

I swear Casey Anthony needs to be shot....no that is too good for her.You know I have been watching this case on Nancy Grace for six months. (Some of you are watching it as well.) She makes me so sick. I just don't know why George and Cindy still believe in her!!!! This is the most extreme case of denial I have seen is so long... if ever. I love my kid, but I swear to God, if she EVER hurt one of my grand-babies I'd loose my mind and you'd have to hold me back. How anyone could hurt a child is beyond me. I sometimes feel guilty for praying that the bones they found do belong to that precious little Caylee so she can rest in peace. I just want it to be over so the healing can begin. I know I don't know that sweet child personally but after listening to her sing, seeing her pictures, hearing so much about her has stamped her hand prints into my heart and I love her, I feel so familiar with her as I am sure others do as well, I mourn as they do. I'm waiting to exhale. I am waiting for confirmation of the identity of the body in the woods. I believe it is Caylee and when I hear the official word I feel then I can cry and start to heal as well as the rest of America.

I had to share this with you...Thank you for listening.....Angel

A Different Christmas Poem
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe, Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep, Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep. In perfect contentment, or so it would seem, So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near, But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow. My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear, And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night, A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight. A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old, Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold. Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled, Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear, "Come in this moment, it's freezing out here! Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve, You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!" For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift, Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right, I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." "It's my duty to stand at the front of the line, That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me, I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me. My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December," Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers." My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam', And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while, But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile. Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag, The red, white, and blue... an American flag. I can live through the cold and the being alone, Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet, I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat. I can carry the weight of killing another, Or lay down my life with my sister and brother.. Who stand at the front against any and all, To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright, Your family is waiting and I'll be all right." "But isn't there something I can do, at the least, "Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast? It seems all too little for all that you've done, For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret, "Just tell us you love us, and never forget. To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone, To stand your own watch, no matter how long. For when we come home, either standing or dead, To know you remember we fought and we bled. Is payment enough, and with that we will trust, That we mattered to you as you mattered to us." PLEASE, would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

Karma's Bitch

Karma’s Bitch
Ack!'
So anyone who knows me knows about Latin Thunder that lives upstairs. Today as I fed my birds I glanced out the window and saw two of my heavy footed neighbors out in the snow trying to shovel out thier car with a broken shovel. I don't know why I had pity on them considering how many migraines they have contributed to. But I did and thus the story unfolds. I cut my finger open trying to open the window to call out to them so I opted to banging on the window and signaling them to come to my door. I handed them a snow shovel I got in the hall and some pizza boxes. Upon realizing that there was a language barrior I tried using hand motions as to why I was giving them pizza boxes. They never got that concept but they made use of the snow shovel. Now it gets interesting. I come across the knowledge that the snow shovel was the property of the woman next door. I apologized several times and she said all was well. All was NOT well...not well at all. I hear her spazzing in the hall talking to herself and well...suffice to say I knew I was Karma's Bitch. The story ends with her yelling at the Mexicans. "Mine MINE..mine..." Suffice to say she retrieved her shovel, I gave them the two in the hall that actually did belong to the building after telling the confused duo that she was a "mucho loco gringa" and thier car was shoveled out, the walk was cleared and they were amazed by my bi-lingual skills. I have to say I am a bit frazzled, my finger hurts like hell, my feet are froze from the snow puddles in the hall that my compression hose soaked up and I am one hot mess. I have come to the conclusion that today...as several others have when I try to do the right thing has been trumped by Murphy's Law. So I end up being Karma's Bitch.

Halloween Safety Tips
No Scaredy Cats This Halloween:
Top 10 Safety Tips for Pet Parents

Attention, companion animal caretakers! The ASPCA would like to point out these common-sense cautions that’ll help keep your pets safe and stress-free this time of year. If you do suspect your pet has ingested a potentially dangerous substance, please call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

1. No tricks, no treats: That bowlful of candy is for trick-or-treaters, not for Scruffy and Fluffy.
Chocolate in all forms—especially dark or baking chocolate—can be very dangerous for dogs and cats. Symptoms of significant chocolate ingestion may include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, increased thirst, urination and heart rate—and even seizures.
Candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can be poisonous to dogs. Even small amounts of xylitol sweetener can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, which leads to depression, lack of coordination and seizures. In cases of significantly low blood sugar, liver failure has been known to occur.
Ingesting tin foil and cellophane candy wrappers can pose a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockage.

2. Popular Halloween plants such as pumpkins and decorative corn are considered to be relatively nontoxic, yet they can produce gastrointestinal upset should pets ingest them. Intestinal blockage could even occur if large pieces are swallowed.

3. Keep wires and cords from electric lights and other decorations out of reach of your pets. If chewed, your pet could experience damage to his mouth from shards of glass or plastic, or receive a possibly life-threatening electrical shock.

4. A carved pumpkin certainly is festive, but do exercise extreme caution if you choose to add a candle. Pets can easily knock a lit pumpkin over and cause a fire. Curious kittens especially run the risk of getting burned or singed by candle flames.

5. Dress-up can be a big mess-up for some pets. Please don't put your dog or cat in a costume UNLESS you know he or she loves it (yup, a few pets are real hams!). For pets who prefer their “birthday suits,” however, wearing a costume can cause undue stress.

6. If you do dress up your pet, make sure the costume isn't annoying or unsafe. It should not constrict the animal's movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Also try on costumes before the big night. If your pet seems distressed, allergic or shows abnormal behavior, consider letting him go au naturel or donning a festive bandana.

7. Take a closer look at your pet’s costume and make sure it does not have small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get twisted on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.

8. All but the most social dogs and cats should be kept in a separate room away from the front door during peak trick-or-treat visiting hours. Too many strangers can be scary and stressful for pets.

9. When opening the door for trick-or-treaters, take care that your cat or dog doesn't dart outside.

10. IDs, please! Always make sure your dog or cat has proper identification. If for any reason your pet escapes and become lost, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can increase the chances that he or she will be returned to you

Been a long time...

Wow, so much has been going on. I don't know where to begin....
My Kid went to see family members she hasn't seen in like 10 years and things didn't work out for the best. I ended up on the phone all night every night then I had my normal routines in the day.
It took awhile to bounce back from that plus I have been doing all the house work I can. I'm slow at it but I get it done...except for the laundry and the animal cages.
I went to the Two Left Paws fun run for charity. I was "Water girl" I'm happy to say I will be doing Administration work for the charity. I do one mobile a week as well. (That is where I go out and socialize the animals at the local Kmart, and try to get them adopted.)
Don't know if I mentioned Pierce has come and gone and my Uncle and friend Sharon is coming in about 15 days with their chow~chow (named Furby) and they are staying for a couple days. I haven't seen them for about 10 years. I am kind of worried cause they have never seen me since I got sick so they are in for some surprises.
Chris took me to see Dark Knight twice. It was so awesome. Lucky and I went to see Mamma Mia and yes we cried. We also went and got tattoos together. Sarah went with and got one too. I designed mine...pics will follow (as soon as Chris puts them on the comp) He's pretty happy with the laptop. A friend of his is back online and that has him in good spirits.
Lucky bought Ben a Lhasa Apso puppy.(for his Birthday) They are so cute. We used to have one named Candy. He named his Squeakers.....WOW.....it's a long shot from the Bulldog he wanted. I can't wait to tease him. (Snickers)
Sis has packed up and moved to Fla in time for Hurricane Faye and school to start. From what I hear the hurricane was a breeze and so is school.
Due to scheduling I won't be able to see my Shrink til Sept 19 I believe. I don't like going this long without seeing him. I've already felt down for the last few days...
Most my time is spent on housework, keeping up with my things online (except for rping) and spending the evenings watching shows with Chris then horror flicks with Pierce via phone.
I still feel an emptiness there.
Mickey is still missing. I really think he isn't coming back and I hate to admit it.
There are issues I have with some people I don't think will ever be brought to light....so much closure left undone.
Sometimes I feel I am loosing to my inner battles. I mean I have so much I do, things to really be proud of...and I am in the moment I am doing it, or talking about it ....all my animal work is really going places. I have this brag book of letters sent from congressmen and the white house and so on that I have been meaning to get together...I just never do. I have all the things I need for it too.
I have stacks and stacks of books I know I would get into and I adore reading yet I don't.
I tell myself I am doing OK because I still go out there into the outside. Even if it is for selfish reasons. I will leave the house for Two Left Paws, or to see a movie I want to see, or to get the tattoos covered I have been wanting to get done. (Only took me 15 years) but is it really good when I still take my anti anxiety meds before I go?
I work on going without them here at home and i do good with it. Sometimes I get all squirrely but I go without until I can't sleep or something...
I have been sleeping...only thing keeping me up is Pogo games, Pierce, and horror flicks...(since Lucky got home).
I feel better just writing this. It has been a long time....
I used to write all the time....
I need to get back to my guild but ...
There always is a but.
All talked out.

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Well it started positive...

Nancy Grace is amazing. She tells it how it is yet allows both sides of the story to be told.
Glenn Beck is a pistol and he's not afraid to pop off and speak his mind. Gotta respect that.
Flo, the Progressive sales gal is hot and something tells me she's a bit of a freak. Yummy.
God Bless Caylee Anthony. She's the lil two year old whose been missing for six weeks. Her Mother Casey has been lying to everyone, she's in jail and I pray she rots in prison. All her calls made from the police station were full of cursing and smart ass remarks until she found out they were being taped. When she found out that she was being taped she started acting all sweet. What a snake. When she said she was out looking for her daughter she was really out partying and pics where found of her tramping it out at a bar on Hot Bod night. The grandmother, Cindy is horrid as well. She washed pants that "Smelled like death" and Casey had worn the last day that Caylee was seen alive.
I just hope she is found alive and the only one who knows if she is alive or dead is...her mother.
I can't stand the extent people will go to with lies, games and so on just to hurt other's.
Ugh! I am just sick with most people in general.
Still networking online to get Mickey's info out. I'm praying about this and I've given the information to everyone I can and more.
To worn out to write anymore.

MICKEY IS MISSING


Grr, I am so upset....frusterated and I want to be Super Angel and swoop in to save Mickey. Mickey has been missing for a few days now. I can't do anything except what I've done already.
I made flyers.
Lucky went down with two of her friends with some of Mickey's favorite toys. Hopefully if he hears the squeking he might come.
He's like 2or three hours away from home...without his tags on.
He's never been alone out there...in the woods.
I've contacted everyone I can via phone and Internet.
It's been storming here, lots of lightning and thunder ....I pray he is warm and safe....he hates storms.
My tummy hurts and I'm all nerved up but not enough to make Chris crazy he said.
He is doing all he can for me and I stayed close to him all day.
Pierce took the night shift....thanks! (Like he will ever read this)
Killing the time with texas Hold'em....
Please pray for the pup.

Why I have been silent...besides my health

It's been a long time since I've written anything down in my online journals, a really long time. I've been trying to keep pretty busy in the reality real world and I've been pretty darn successful with it.
I've had my best bud fly in and stay a week with us. We had so much fun!Got tons of pics, showed him some sights, wined and dined him...minus the wine! I might post some pictures...if I find time.
I've started rping for two to three hours in the afternoons when Chris gets off work now. I feel good about doing it that way and less stressed then I used to be. I only play games on the comp at night now. That helps relax me to where when I used to rp I was anxious about this or that. There would always be some flare up I had to deal with and I didn't have fun. Doing it this way has brought the fun back.
I'm doing a lot more work in my animal projects. I worked the food ticket table at the Lobster Brat Fry and will be doing something at our upcoming Moon Walk Marathon. I also do mobiles when I can. That is where I go to a store where we (TWO LEFT PAWS) have a bunch of cats/dogs on view for adoption. I generally socialize them and talk to passers by. Chris and Pierce went to the Brat Fry and Chris will be helping with the Moon Walk...or dropping me off or something. He's also working out getting me to the mobiles. I'm happy to have that structured out. I get so much out of it and I also have all my charities, petitions and work I do in other Animal Rights areas.
I'm still seeing my shrink and he does me well. I use a lot that he tells me, mixed in what Chris and Pierce suggest and I can't tell a lie....my newest thing is to "Be the BATMAN." He has such self control. It helps with the panic attacks when I remember. Most of the time I have a lot of pain in my chest due to my tetzey's syndrome so it hurts tooo bad to breathe deep so it's a struggle.
I have found some new happiness. Seeing Pierce really helped with my abandonment issues feared he was going to be like everyone else, besides Chris. (I don't include my daughter or Sis in this) I really thought I had my place in the world and that I would be content in my animals, hobbies, and recovery....I was wrong.
I tried my best to push past this whole thing with my daughter, her money, and the whole spending of it. I mean seriously. I am so angry. I found this out yesterday when it took over and almost ruined my date with Chris. I haven't been angry like that in a long...long time. I was fuming, cursing to myself, storming around the house. I snapped at Chris and it took half the trip to Sheboygan and some Bowling for Soup to relax me...and a Xanex which I have been going days without.
Here's the story...
The kid was in a car accident with me years ago. (A friend was driving, we were hit by a drunk) and she got a nice settlement. I'm talking college, a car....and all was well. I was worried a bit that her friends might take advantage of her kindness but found that to be false. You can imagine my shock when it turned out to be someone I spent most of my time with that shifted and became her running buddy.
At first it was just trips to the store, shopping, the kid spending her new money and all that is normal. Spending money on a friend I can deal with, gas money, a lunch or two. A gift for helping out..ok BUT....when it got into the hundreds...then thousands....I lost it.
I kept my mouth shut save for discussing it with my shrink, and the few people closest to me because they too had concerns over this. I attempted to talk to my daughter who spoke to me privately about this as well. I tried my best to put it behind me.
Even when I was left sitting at home over and over having my descisions made for me like I was a invalid. All of a sudden, I who have gone to Appleton and on several other trips was squeezed out and told that "It was a long trip, didn't think you'd wanna be in the car that long...blah blah blah"
Seriously.....I mean really?....Seriously???
At first I battled with myself thinking it was jeliousy. I found out that wasn't it when something my daughter and I planned for years was done without me.
Not to mention that my friend dropped me like a rock.
I realized I was feeling pain at a deeper level. The pain grew to anger when I'd hear things that struck me wrong at a moral level. I felt sorrow for my daughter because she was in tears twice because she confessed she wasn't trying to steal my friend. I told her I wasn't upset with her at all because my friend made choices. I was however concerned about the cash she was throwing about.
It got to the point that I'd just not want to hear about what they were doing. It was so hard cause I had to be happy and interested for my kid and look at what she had bought and I do like to see her purchases. It's fun to see the joy on her face....
However, I can't get past the fact that my daughter is footing the bills for hotel rooms at 200 bucks a pop. That she bought tickets...then season passes for everyone that went. I can't handle that she is paying for all the food, handing out 100's of dollars for spending cash, and will be paying for more hotel fee's next week.
For her to have a good time she has to foot the bill for everyone else....her boyfriend excluded is a fucking shame.
Seriously....gifts, manicures, clothes, furniture, pedicures, wekend getaways, season passes, cash, gas money.....gods only knows what else. Have you no shame? When is enough ...enough? My kid has a kind heart and she is being taken advantage of....period.
Several times I have been ready to say something but I decided against it. I held it all in even when my shrink and Chris said to write in my blog for fear of the aftermath for my kid if anyone reads this. But then again, it is my blog and if someone gets hurt reading it then they chose to read it, or so I'm told. I have no chice now because it is affecting me now and my relationships and my fun time.
It all boiled to a head yesterday. But it started the night before.
She came home and they had gone to see Mamma Mia....a movie I was going to ask Chris to take me and Lucky to becaue it was such a "US" movie. I thought we could watch it when Chris and his brother were watching something else in another theater....
Another day I was left at home alone, another day they decided I wouldn't want to come.
I wrestled with that, I hadn't yet got to talk to chris about it. Nothing was set in stone. So goes life.
Then she was showing me her purchases, all was well....until she started acting funny. There was weirdness over the reciept thus letting me know she had yet again spent money on "Her" and more then just the pair of panties she said.
Then she was crying...talking about the not meaning to take my friend thing again.
I assured her I was over it. I know where I lay in the sceme of things where said friend is concerned. I've learned to deal with it...after the grimace on my face over the pics they took at the mall.
What my kid doesn't understand is the grimace was the Cha-ching sound I heard in my head and not the "I'm being replaced grimace"
I've had to due with cutting back on my activities and including Chris in my TWO LEFT PAWS events. We've worked out one Saturday a month that he will take me to the Plymouth mobile. (Saturday is usually Movie day with his brother, but will switch it for a Sunday for me) And the spa is totally cut out due to all he has on his plate. He does however get me out to a movie every week he can so I don't go stir crazy in this house.
And as for my girlfriend things...well, I have Pierce as my girlfriend and he fits the job well...even all the way from PA.
So....until I can look at my past running mate without hearing the cash register sound, we have a problem.
As much as I love my kid, she is too nice for her own good cause she feels guilty or bad if she doesn't dote on whose she's with. She can't handle guilt trips and I can't stress the point enough that.... that is her money....for her future...and yes, she has the right to spend it how she see's fit and handle the consiquinces there of....BUT...
Enough is enough.
She won't stop giving if your hands out.
She could have put a down payment on a house, or bought a car with what she's blown with you.
Enough said.
*Noted, this is being placed on a blog my daughter has no access to so she isn't left feeling guilty over what I've been feeling.*

I CAN BE BATMAN???

So, I stumbled across this link: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/07/15/science-of-becoming.html and just knew my sister would love this... so I pasted the article below as well. (oh yeah, this is angel's sister posting for her).

Science of becoming Batman

Posted by David Pescovitz, July 15, 2008 12:24 PM

E. Paul Zehr has a book coming out in October called Becoming Batman:

The Possibility of A Superhero, about the physical and mental training one would need to become a superhero without any supernatural powers. Zehr, a professor of kinesiology and neuroscience at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, is also a karate expert. Over at Scientific American, JR Minkel interviews Zehr about how one might train as the Dark Knight.

From SciAm:

What's most plausible about portrayals of Batman's skills? You could train somebody to be a tremendous athlete and to have a significant martial arts background, and also to use some of the gear that he has, which requires a lot of physical prowess. Most of what you see there is feasible to the extent that somebody could be trained to that extreme. We're seeing that kind of thing in less than a month in the Olympics. What's less realistic? A great example is in the movies where Batman is fighting multiple opponents and all of a sudden he's taking on 10 people. If you just estimate how fast somebody could punch and kick, and how many times you could hit one person in a second, you wind up with numbers like five or six. This doesn't mean you could fight four or five people. But it's also hard for four or five people to simultaneously attack somebody, because they get in each other's way. More realistic is a couple of attackers.

Hope you like it sis!

Angel Has the Blahs

I've been going through a roller coaster ride of feelings these days and it might just be because I don't get to see my shrink til after next week. This is the longest I've gone without talking to him since I started. Due to the ditz at the reception desk that day i had to go three weeks between appointments.
I have so much to say but I can't find the words here. I just know I can't sleep. i tried. The Xanax isn't knocking me out and I don't know what to do to get all this junk out of my head.
My head has hurt for days. I whacked myself pretty hard on the headboard but I doubt if I was concussed (cause I think I was) it would still feel this bad.
New Day
I am already having a fucked up day. Just one example...the phone was ringing just now, I went to get it, pulled my back and dropped the damn thing on the floor. Fuck it it can stay there for all I care.

Been listening to country....Aaron Tippen (sp?) good stuff.

THIS MADE MY DAY!




Dear Angel,




Thanks in part to your actions, we're celebrating two victories this week.




Tuesday, the Senate defeated an amendment to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and America's coastlines to drilling by a vote of 42-56.




Wednesday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued its decision to list the polar bear as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act.Thanks for speaking up and making a difference!




To all my friends who helped, thank you. I know that you've seen polar bears all over my msn, blogs, ect.....I can't do much but what I do I care so much about!




I will forever give a voice to the animals.

Long Time Gone

Hello Lords and Lasses, It is I Lady Angel at the other end of this quill. I know it's been awhile and I keep saying I'm gonna come back but I keep running into health problems and complications from my surgeries and it just hurts to sit up and bend over the keyboard. As much as I want to be with you all I need to take care of my body more. I know you understand.
Gaia.....I love my guild. I am trying to be there even if it is just in the OOC section. Gaia is running really slow for me. I know it's gaia because I can still get on other websites and they run fast for me. I still can't change Angel's clothes either. My Sister has been on doing some guild work and I have been on letting in new members when I can. I'm just worried about the guild is all. Sorry I can't be the leader I was. I will be back...seriously.
Journal readers......I write when I can, I know I have been putting this off. Not only do I have my health problems but Lucky has allot going on that she needs me for as well.
Friends...I miss you!
I had the mind to write a big long entry but Pierce and Sis are on my phone and i can't keep my mind on it now. LOL.

Things go crazy at some point today, probably later on. You shouldn't try to just jump in, though -- it's a much better idea to let things play out for a while. You may not be in the right mood for it today, anyway.

Enuff Already

I'm going out of my skull, my hands are breaking out in patches again as well as the tops of my feet, on my left knee and elbow and my breathing is hard to get control of again. My Doc can't keep me on steroids forever and It's the only thing so far that keeps my skin under control and my lungs fluid free. I have these two surgeries next week as well as a Doc apt before the meeting for some ungodly reason. Why I'd see him before the procedures is beyond me.
My nerves are shot over what is going on with my Kid, my friends and I'm not sleeping all that well.
I can't fins an escape over the net due to it going offline every time the wind changes and my mind is racing too much to read.
I have the shrink today but what do i tell him? Nothing has changed in my head...things are shit?
I try to do what he asks me to, try hell, i have done what he asks me to but i still feel like I'm drowning and i fight with my best friends.
My kid, no matter how often we work things out in her life she treads quicksand and I get the brunt of it.
I feel like shit. I'm angry. I'm sick of getting better, getting my hopes up then it all back firing.
I want to crawl in a ball with Mister Teddy and Bu Bunny and just *Poof*

Date Nite

Wow, I had the best date nite Ever! Chris and I went out to eat at taco Bell then went to see Horton Hears A Who. He was quite the gentleman opening doors and closing them, holding my hand, tender romantic kisses here and there. I think what touched my heart the most is the song he burned on a CD, dedicated to and sung to me as well. He does sing often and I love it. It made me remember a night when he laid in bed, held me and sung to me. It just felt really good to get away from the house, alone and not be rushed. My health was well enough where there was no major problem. I got winded a bit and tired as well. I did run into a couple of bushes and stagger off the sidewalk. Classic Angel! I do have to say i wasn't panicky, I didn't feel odd around people and I was friendly to a soldier and an old man. I normally don't speak to people. The whole day went well and I will carry it on until the evening and if i cut you off I am sorry if it hurt your feelings but I did deserve having one day where I let no negativity in. (You know who I am talking about if your reading this)

The Song I spoke about...I am sure you will know what part applies to Chris and I.
SALIVA LYRICS
"Here With You"
Well I heard your voice on a Tulsa wind
When I was far away from home
I will come to you in a dream my friend
To love you when I'm gone
And there's never a second
Never a moment that you'll ever be alone
From Memphis to Oklahoma
From Boston to California
From Detroit to Arizona
I will always be forever,
Here with you
Well the first time I ever seen you face
I saw the ghost behind your eyes
Ever consuming me with your warm embrace
You're a woman and a child
And in just one second
Just one moment
It finally feels like home
In life there will be trials and troubles
But we will always have each other
And there will never be another woman in this world

Haji is HOTT


Here I sit on shrink day but he has the day off and though I have his number, I think I can make it through. LOL
I've been getting some hobbies and house work done so I'm pretty happy with myself although I've had some rough patches.
I got all read up on my QC. (Great Read)
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1
I also got Pierce's gift mailed out finally, Liz's is all taken care of and I still have a little to do on my Sister's.
I'm all done with my steroids and I know that has everyone around me happy as a lark. To say I was on edge is a understatement. I hardly slept and no matter what, the smallest movement or excitement sent me on a hyper buzz kick. I was loud, snappy and well...scary.
(Sorry Peeps, you know I love you)
I finally got my Tekturna back so my heart will stop racing. The Doctor had to up the dosage and the insurance company took forever to clear it even though they had just done so a month earlier...for the lower dosage.
Anyway...
I have two surgeries on April 25th and Chris is putting in for the day off. Liz offered to be there too. I am blessed.
April Fools came and went with no folly. I think people were scared to pull something on me...lol Afraid I might hulk out!
I wish I could say everything is wonderful in my Daughter's life. She has got a lot on her plate and her own lessons to learn and all I can do is listen...so I do. I have faith if she really needs me she will know I am here to help. (Love you PussyKat)
Tell me why does Billy Mayes yell in all his commercials? I mean seriously!
Taxes should get here soon so I get a new bed! YAY! (Poor Chris, I will try not to push you out)
Liz and I have been playing Mario Party with Liz. Noon meds put me out for the last two days but damn it! I win! I can win....asleep! Damn I ROCK!
What does suck is I get confused with the controls on the mini games since there are so many and I'm medicated, *Pouts* Liz pokes fun at me.
Sis hung up on me just now cause i spaced out. NOT NICE.
OK, I am rambling...
Wrestlemania XXIV was awesome and WE LOVE YOU RIC FLAIR. He started his career the year I was born.
GOOD JOB ON YOUR ASSIGNMENTS SIS!
WEBKINZ ROCK!

Health

Been a long week. I had the Doc appointment, he scheduled labs which I did before I left. The girl who drew my blood did a fair job. Normally I get big bruises this time I had a small one at the entry site. I was surprised they took five tubes. Well, I got the results back...I am not pleased.

There is something wrong with my liver and it was starting to raise in enzymes in September he said. They are up to eight whatever that means and we have to watch it...OK? Might be the meds for pain...

I've been shot up 3 more cc's in my shot at night....

What is freaking me out is the anemia. I already take two forms of iron supplements, one is prescribed for anemia and now I need to get two scopes to check for internal bleeding...those who know me close knows there is bleeding...I need not go into it.

Just keep me in your thoughts and prayers...please.

Happy Fucking Thursday.

I reawaken with my big blue boots on at 10am. I've been wearing them since Chris put them on at 6:15 this morning. I'm supposed to wear them at the most 40 minutes. Routine has it the kid takes them off of me before school. Well, she isn't home...
My morning pills are late...An olive green/blue capsule for depression, oblong white for diabetes, two baby blue ovals promise to fight joint pain, light pink circles says it brings down my blood pressure, red circle solves anemia, sky blue round one boosts more blood pressure defense, the ugly teardrop shaped brown one does this as well, another oblong...peach in color gives me vitamins I lack, I prefer the pretty tiny one that's hot pink and battles my inactive thyroid...well what is left of it after the surgery, then we come to the cursed pill I call my piss pill...no description necessary except who'd think a little round white pill would pack such a punch, another little white oblong pair has wiggled their way into the group steroids for my lungs...aggression...YAY!...but they help with the lungs so they strengthen and open so my hacking and coughing actually become productive in the dispelling of nasty ass phlegm. Normally the morning stops there...then there is this morning where a tiny white round pal makes a grand entrance. Xanax makes it all more bearable, cuts the edge back, whatever you may want to call it. Can't forget the nose spray for my lovely allergies. Today he will be the last of the morning crew cause Mister big oblong white horse pill called Darvocet isn't needed enough...yet. I deal with the pain as much as I can...
ACK, tummy hurts, i forgot to eat...got some pretzels here...been around since Christmas...love how they never go bad...
As I gobble i think of what time to take my noon pills because my schedule is thrown amuck.
So I am late meaning that the noon pills along with all my routines are pushed back. By the time morning pills knock me for a loop it will be past noon pill time, I have counseling today....ACK! I hate being out of control.
Noon pills...diabetes, steroids, piss pill.
Evening...two more anti joint pain blues and a steroid.
Bedtime...steroids and a little yellow allergy pill Chris and I have donned the name chicklet too. Looks just like one...just smaller, inhale more nose spray for those allergies, inhale spiriva for your lungs, take your insulin shot!
Through the day sprinkle in pain pills or anti anxiety pills as needed...along with fast acting inhalers...you gotta breath you know...
Don't forget to check the filter on your oxygen pump, unkink the hose...don't trip yourself or others.
Use the compressor on your legs twice a day, as well as acapella for your lungs and physical therapy on your shoulder two to three times a day.
Rest your legs, your on bed rest but get up and walk around to move the blood around.
DON'T ITCH!
You forgot the creme for your hands and other patches...it hurts when they split open.
Breath...regulate your breathing.
Shrink today...I am wore out already.
Keep up with the kid, do my personal chores, my hobbies, spend time alone and with the ones I love...
Wrestle with my demons, anxiety...
Smile...laugh...tackle the DVR.
I am cold, tired and gonna lay down.
Sorry Sis, I will get the phone next time i get up and call you back...my head hurts and I can't reach the phone.

Lazy...

La'Sigh.
Just sitting here watching a show about commercials....wait...I have a DVR so I don't have to watch commercials. I hate commercials...well....most of them.
Spent the day just being lazy because I hardly slept last night. I'm getting tummy problems toppled with congestion. Yuck.
On the health side of me, my knees are feeling better then last week. My shoulder is a pain in the ass and as I said before, my tummy is bothering me and my sinuses and chest as well. I just went to the Doc for that and I go again tomorrow. Perhaps I need new antibiotics.
I've watched movies all day. The Replacements, Drum Line, I forget the rest. As I did this I worked on one of Easter Bonnie's paws off. I don't know what the hell is all over her but it looks like candle wax and Chris suggested to use barbasol shaving cream on it. Well, it works like a charm. Until we get my shoulder in shape, it looks like I can only clean a little of her up at a time because of all the reposition. When I sew her up, she will look all pretty again and I'm keeping her in my room with my Mister Teddy and Bu Bunny. She belongs to Lucky but something tells me she has out grown her. Easter was there when we were in the crash that almost took Lucky's life so I can't stand for Easter Bonnie to be unkempt.
Men in Black is coming on and I like the film so I'm outty!

Take Care..

Think Before You Speak

Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak -
the last one is great!
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could
immediately take the words back...
or that you could crawl into a hole?
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....


FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow
and asked loudly,
'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?'
I turned around and walked back out and never went back
My husband didn't say a word..
he knew better.


SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls.
I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.
After browsing for several minutes,
I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at
the store.
He asked if he could help me.
Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing
with mens balls'

THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and
passed by a store that sold a
variety of candy and nuts.
As we were looking at the display case,
the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.
I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.'
My sister started to laugh hysterically.
The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away.
To this day,
my sister has never let me forget.


FOURTH TESTIMONY :
While in line at the bank one afternoon,
my toddler decided to release
some pent-up energy and ran amok.
I was finally able to grab hold of
her after receiving looks of disgust
and annoyance from other patrons.
I told her that if she did not start behaving
'right now' she would be punished.
To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as
threatening,
'If you don't let me go right now,
I will tell Grandma that I saw you
kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!'
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.
Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.
I mustered up the last of my dignity and
walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.
The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams
of laughter.


FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I
was on him constantly..
One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands
It was very busy, with a full dining room.
While enjoying my taco,
I smelled something funny,
so of course I checked
my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean.
The realized that Danny
had not asked to go potty in a while.
I asked him if he needed to go,
and he said 'No'.
I kept thinking
'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any
clothes with me.'
Then I said,
'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?'
'No,' he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was
getting worse.
Soooooo, I asked one more time, 'Danny did you have an accident ?
This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants,
bent over, spread his cheeks
and yelled
'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!'
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing,
he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.
An old couple made me feel better,
thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!


LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days
and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will,
in the future, likely think before she speaks.
What happens when you predict snow but don't get any!
We had a female news anchor that,
the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't,
turned to the weatherman and asked:
'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?'
Not only did HE have to leave the set,
but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

Error 404 LOL

I had a journal entry written out on my note pad explaining everything there was to explain about why I'm not rping as much as I used to and why my body is in pain and how I'm on 22 different meds but an error with explorer deleted it.

Grr.

I'm in alot of pain with my shoulder again and my knees are killing me and I've gone from vicadin to darvacet.

When I'm not in pain I'm pretty messed up from the meds.

I'm still on oxygen fulltime and i do physical therapy in bed for my knees and in my chair for my shoulder.

I've been using my compression hose and pump for my legs every day and I am now ulcer free in my legs! That is a blessing!

I'm seeing a shrink every week and he is doing me alot of good too. I'm still on anti depressants and anti anxiety pills and I might always be. The point is he is really helping me throuigh the past.

Here lately the whole house has been down sick. Lucky and I were put on meds for sinucitus. She had something for a chest cold added. Mine went to the lungs as always.

I collect webkenz! I love them!

Um, I don't care how this comes out as in spelling and puncuation because I'm medicated.

Thank you Chris, Liz, Lucky Pierce,Sis,Shrimp, and whoever I forgot for helping me in all the ways you do.

Love you
Angel

Friday, February 15, 2008

Hewo

Medicated....yup, that's me.

So any ways...last nights festivities were cancled as well as my Doc and Shrink appt. due to snow....and there was a hella lot of it.

Lucky's plans with her fella fell through as well so we all had pizza and watched some tv and tonight Chris and I plan on going out for dinner and a movie tomorrow with his brother. Lucky is going over by her boyfriends for the night.

Wow, I have to say, all the times I spend feeling alone and less then were changed this past week. I have had gifts as well as good times showered on me and I am thankful for it cause I'm pretty sick and I couldn't take the depression right now.

Thanks Chris, Sis, Pierce, Lucky and Liz! Everything you have done or said was really appreciated. I was feeling pretty shitty for awhile and you guys cheered me up.

I'm watching BATMAN. Love that man in that big black cape!

well, I thought I had alot to say...guess I don't.

Been poking around with Crow kissing peeps for the valentine event on gaia and just seeing some of the shit that goes on makes me love my guild all the more. I really wish we could do the gaia events inside our guilds.

I just used the scissors to shave off the dead skin on my hands. it was quite effective and not as itchy.

Last night I fucking cut my left foot pretty deep on the top. Damn itching in my sleep. There is blood on my sheet and on my right foot from where I had itched. Grrrr. Hurts less then I thought It would. Pisses me off though cause they are close to healing. Been wearing support hose and using the leg pump the Doc gave me so they are looking better.

Last night after I woke from my evening nap I caught a attitude. I am rather anxious now as well. I hate when I get this way. Most of the time it is because Lucky and I get in some sort of whatever you want to call it. She just gets so grumpy and hard to deal with.

ACK! I got stuck watching another fucking America's Next Top Model! DAMN THIS FUCKING OCD!

So...at three I get my PHONE that is through the CABLE!!!!! I am so fucking happy about that. I can call Pierce, Sis, Daddy........(Thank you Chris!)

Wonder where my Sis is??

Ack, Hyper, Tired...What to do....

I LOVE MY WEBKINZ!

I am going to have a big ass steak tonight at Applebee's. Rare....some sauteed onions...some ba ja boats! YUMMMMMY!

Ok, I am bored with this.

Holla Yall!

My Daughter Wrote this Autobiography Paper for school.

My Daughter Wrote this Autobiography Paper for school. It touched my heart so I wanted to share it with you.

This is a challenge that i struggled to over come, and a few things I am about to tell you I have done to over come it. But I wasn't alone in this challenge, my Mom always stood by my side helping me through this task.

When I was six years old, I was in a terrible car accident. While I was in the hospital, I missed out on a lot of things in school mainly reading and I had to work to catch up. So for the past eighteen years, I have struggled everyday with trying to learn how to read. For instance the word DOES It'd mix up the E and S. Even though I had that problem everyday, I would read and write different things to improve at reading and writing, and everyday I would get better, but I would still be behind the rest of my classmates. So even though I thought I was doing good, reading with the class was still hard and it showed when the test scores came back. That would always get me down in the dumps. I felt slower then the rest of the students, I felt well, just plain dumb. Even if all that maybe true, I still didn't stop reading. Over time, I read Edgar Allen Poe, my Mom would read it to me and then I would want to read some. I may not have understood every thing that was going on in the book, but my Mom would explain it to me. The reading was difficult but I still kept at it and the more I read the faster I got. Then, the words became clearer and when I read in front of the class, it was like the chip I had on my shoulder finally left. It was a great feeling because I didn't stumble, and I didn't try to mumble the words just to get by to the next one. Over coming this challenge has made me a better person today because it lets me know that I wasn't dumb. And if I work hard enough I can go through any obstacle.

Stupidity is a talent for misconception....Edger Allen Poe.

Saturday, February 2, 2008

DAMN

Happy Saturday! Mine started off blissfully. You know, a lil hanky panky ...then a little bit more. Got some hours off of the good ole' DVR, took a nap...enjoyed some of my Sweeney Todd soundtrack which is excellent might I add. Chris went to see a movie with his brother and nephew, I stayed home due to the whole swollen foot from my broken toe fiasco. Even with my net being a pain I had a nice afternoon.

Then the kids work calls. She was over half a hour late. I gave them the number she was at cause the other friend with the same name had a temporary disconnected phone. Her work called back so lack of a better idea I gave the woman her boyfriends number. When I called back, the lady said they still haven't been able to contact my daughter and the clock says she late an hour for work and it's snowing out.

So she wants to be treated as an adult and this is the second time work has called me to hunt her down.

I don't want another big argument. I am doing my best to get her through school and keep myself calm when things like this happens. I understand the whole cutting the apron strings and all but any one who knows me knows I am worried where she could be and if she is OK and I will be until I see her face.

I'm not overbearing or over protective. It's just how my head ticks. Goes along with the panic and anxiety attacks I suffer from.

Well, found her after calling her boyfriends Mom after she was missing two hours. She spent the night at her boyfriends instead of the girl she was supposed to be with and I got the explanation that some guy was causing trouble and wanted to fight so the girl's and my kid's boyfriend almost had to call my daughter's boyfriend's mom to come get them last night but didn't and somehow she passed up our house and went and stayed at her boyfriends house whom they both knew she wasn't allowed to do until we discussed it after the last blow up over sleepovers and I got all this from his Mom.

So what do we do now? I will get back to you on that...

Fits me to a T

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is low. Even if you're tempted, you'd try hard not to do it.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Wow, Just what I needed at the right Moment today.

This song came at a time today when I needed it most. Today...
Artist: Lawrence Tracy
Song: Find Out Who Your Friends Are
Album: For the Love



Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

{Chorus}
You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who your friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up
and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off

{Chorus}

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there?

{Chorus}

You find out who your friends are
(yeah, yeah)
You find out who your friends are

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
(Well man, I've been there)
Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare
(Man, I've been there)

Man, I've been there
Oooh yeah.

((THANK YOU SIS AND SHRIMP))

What kind of Blogger am I?

You Are a Life Blogger!

Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary.
If it happens, you blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible.

Breathe...

Are you lonely? That was what my shrink asked me. I've thought about those three words over and over since he uttered them Thursday afternoon. I told him I have Chris and Lucky in the evening when we eat dinner and watch our shows. He repeated the question tacking on "in the day when they are gone?" I said I have my Sister who calls on the phone and there is Pierce who calls in the evenings...."But are you lonely?"

I know something is missing in my life.

I used to be the go to girl. There were so many people calling on and leaning on me that I hardly had time to think of anything inside me. But in those times, there were also people that were there if I needed something. If I needed to talk...I had that.

But now... when I really need you...I find myself lacking that.

Funny how people show up when they need a ride or a baby sitter. I get the call when your special friends aren't home. I get the visit when there is nothing better to do. I'm the one you call cause you have boyfriend/girlfriend troubles. I'm the one you contact when you want pity. The one you dump on when no one else is there or the one you reach out to when your bored.

I'm the in between girl now.

I have issues with abandonment.

I found myself deconstructing and the sleep was fading away once again so I started seeing a Shrink weekly. I'm finding that a good place to let go of the darkness inside me. I had hoped I had found a friend to rely on but sadly it hasn't happened so the Shrink will have to suffice.

It might be his job to listen but I know he is going to be there every time he is supposed to be, he's not going to lie to me, weasel out of a session or quit me when something new and shiny comes along. He won't give me excuses....and he will listen....really listen when I talk and anything he tells me will be for my greater good.

RIP Heath...


So many people think they are an authority in the life of other's.

Everyone is a critic.

People die, like Heath Ledger....for example, and everyone has to have their piece of the action. You get caught up in a whirlwind of speculations.

What sickens me is how the same one's who sing your praises are the wolves at your feet when your found out that your imperfect...like Chris Beniot.

This isn't just true for the famous beautiful people.

It's for us too...

And guess what....

I'm not perfect.

Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for
the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and
janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :

None.
Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills,
so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :

None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :

Get this! You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that
you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS :

While no health or dental insurance, no pension,
no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and
no stock options are offered;
this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth
and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.


Forward this to all the PARENTS you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis,
letting them know they are appreciated
for the fabulous job they do...
or forward with Special Love
to anyone thinking of applying for the job.

You stay up for 16 hours
He stays up for days on end.



You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
He goes days or weeks without running water.



You complain of a 'headache', and call in sick.
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.



You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet
up with your friends.
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.



You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.
He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.

He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.



You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.

He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe
his brow.



You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your
order wrong.
He doesn't get to eat today.



Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are
clean.



You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.



You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.



You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.

He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.



You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if
they'll ever meet.



You criticize your government, and say that war never solves
anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and
remembers why he is fighting.



You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.
He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.



You see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the broken bodies lying around him.



You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.



You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and
eat.



You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.
He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night
long.



If you support your troops, send this to 7 people.
If you don't support your troops well, then don't send this out. You
won't die in 7 days, your love life won't be affected, and you won't
have the worst day ever.
You don't have to email this. It's not like you know the men and
women that are dying to preserve your rights.



REMEMBER our Troops, and do not forget them LATER



Lest we forget -
