The reason I don't have any pics of the actual ceremony is because the person taking the pictures didn't have the flash on my camera so the pics are very dark. As soon as I get some good pics scanned or downloaded, I'll put them up.

Maria and Dennis at the cake table

Bride and groom with parents at the cake table

Maria and Mom (my favorite picture!)

2002-12-24T09:41:00.000-06:00

Well, the wedding is over and my sister is now an old married woman (as my mom says). It was so gorgeous. Of course I cried (but only at the very beginning). Dennis started crying when Maria was walking down the aisle and that started a whole chain of people crying: me, my mom, my dad, Maria and Dennis' parents. It was so touching that the groom cried. I still can't get over it. Needless to say, the ceremony was wonderful and my sister was just radiant! I was (and still am) so proud of her. She and Dennis left for their honeymoon in New York that night and per phone calls, have gotten there safely and are having a wonderful time. I can't wait until they get home. It's weird to think that my little sister is married, but then it's not because she and Dennis have been almost inseparable for several months. So I've gotten used to seeing them together and it's strange to see them apart. I'm so happy for them!

2002-12-17T19:05:00.000-06:00

Well, my sister's wedding is almost here! I just can't believe that in 4 days she will be married. It's almost mind-boggling. I'm so proud and happy for her that I almost can't stand it. I sincerely wish her and Dennis the absolute best and hope that they have as wonderful a marriage as my parents (27 years and counting). God Bless!

Thanks, Janna, for posting the Kevin Costner pic!!! What a hunk!

2002-12-17T18:58:00.000-06:00

Being the Annette Bening fan that I am, I've watched as many of her movies as I can find. By far and away, the American President is my favorite, with Love Affair following a close second. However, Richard III is just about the most AWFUL movie I've ever seen. It's not Annette's acting that destroys it, but a combination of the fake British accents, the story line and the mumbling of the main character, King Richard (played by Ian McKellen). Maybe if I could have understood half of what he said, I would have enjoyed it more. Anyoo, don't waste your time on Richard III, in my opinion. You've probably got better things to do like cleaning the grout in the bathroom.

What's the difference between a lightbulb and a pregnant woman?

You can unscrew a lightbulb!

2002-12-01T22:13:00.000-06:00

I just cooked the hugest pot of cabbage ever and I don't feel like cleaning the kitchen!!! WAH!!! I think I'm going to let it sit until tomorrow..........

2002-12-01T21:59:00.000-06:00

Show of hands: who LOVES the movie "The American President"?

*raising hand* I DO!!!!

I know I've watched that movie at LEAST 20 times in the last 2 weeks. I don't have cable so I borrowed my parent's VCR (cuz mine doesn't work) and I can't stop myself from watching this movie at least once a day. Friday I watched it 3 times!!!! I haven't decided if it's the actors (Michael Douglas and Annette Bening) or the story line, but I love it. I guess this is bordering on obsession...........

2002-11-27T11:58:00.000-06:00

I'm slowly but surely recovering from being sick and, boy, does it feel good to be well again! I always say this after I get sick, but, it's amazing how we can take our health for granted! We just bump along feeling wonderful and not thinking much of it and then WHAM!! You get hit with some kind of illness and your world dissolves. At least mine does anyway. I am NOT a good sick person. I just hope I can remember to thank God on a regular basis for my health and well-being.

2002-11-27T11:47:00.000-06:00

Check out Janna's new template!!! Being the ladybug queen, I think it suits her quite nicely.

2002-11-25T16:03:00.001-06:00

Forgot to mention a good thing about being sick: I've lost 9 pounds in a week!!!

2002-11-25T16:03:00.000-06:00

The wedding is less than 4 weeks away!!! My maid of honor ensemble isn't in yet. *gasp* We've been told by David's Bridal that it should be in soon (i.e. this week). They'd better be right because I still need alterations!!!

2002-11-25T16:00:00.000-06:00

For over a week, I've pretty much felt like crap. So, Saturday, my mom took me to the ER at Earl K. Long Charity Hospital where I got a chest X-Ray and a student doc told me I didn't have "full-blown" pneumonia. What a relief. So what exactly did I have? Who knows. All I know is I feel a heck of a lot better today. Praise God! Lots of people have been praying for me and whadya know? Prayer works!

2002-11-25T12:15:00.000-06:00

I've been pretty sick for the past week, so I haven't been updating. I'm doing much better now. More updating later.

2002-11-12T23:15:00.000-06:00

Life is going pretty good right now. Other than being extremely busy and tired, I'm doing fine! I currently have 3 jobs and am working an average of 9 hours a day, including Sundays. What a life, huh?

In other news, my sister has moved up her wedding from April 5, 2003 to December 21, 2002!!!! Whoa, baby! Less than 6 weeks til the big day. I was less than excited to hear it, but since it's not MY wedding and it IS my dear sister getting married, I've put on a happy face and swallowed my not-so-happy feelings. So now Re, Mom, Shelly (Re's best friend) and I are busy planning showers and the like. I will be so glad when this is over. How horrible is that?????

2002-11-12T23:09:00.000-06:00

My friend, Yvette, had a son, Robert Luke, on Wednesday, November 6. He was 6 pounds, 6 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. Congratulations to Yvette and her husband, Robert!

2002-11-12T23:07:00.000-06:00

Can I just say that I'm so very lonely? So lonely. I hate to sound whiny and crazy, but I want something I've never had in my entire life. And guess what that is.... yep, you got it...a man. I know there are plenty (and I do mean plenty) of people out there who will tell me I'm better off without one, but I'm not ready to believe that yet. I am the ONLY person I know who isn't involved in some way with someone else. I feel like the village outcast. Come on, am I really that boring and unattractive? Call me biased, but I don't think so. God, I'm begging you, please send someone, anyone my way. Ok, let me re-phrase that. Please, please, please send a nice, normal, sort-of attractive, employed man my way. (Do I sound a little picky?)

Ok, change of subject: I hate seeing a friend in trouble. Hate it, hate it. I'm a helper by nature and not being able to help is so frustrating. So if you're reading this, (not saying names, you know who you are) I'm praying for you and hoping that everything works out. You're happiness is my number one concern and as long as you're happy, I don't care what you decide to do. Please let me know if you need me. I'm always here for you.

Today was such a nice day. Revenue called today and told me that the paperwork was signed for me to start working, so I went and picked up my drug-testing form and visited with my friends for a while. I've been so worried about going back to work there, but I think everything will be fine. The second I walked through the doors, I felt right at home. It was so nice sitting and talking with the people I used to spend so much time with. I got lots of hugs and it was just great! I guess all my worries were for nothing. I'm so grateful for this opportunity again. Of course now I'm worried that I won't want to leave when the time comes, but we'll just have to see what happens. Right now things are good and I'm so glad to be going back.

And Terri is just being so great about the whole thing. She told me that whatever I want to do is fine with her, meaning that if I want to go back full-time, she'll understand. Hopefully that won't happen because I don't think I could stop working for her. Ok, so I need to pray more obviously. Duh.

2002-11-03T22:53:00.000-06:00

This is kind of gross to admit, but I've had a flea problem at my house this past week. I came back from vacation and Sam had fleas. Of course they don't just stay on him: no, they jump ship and take up residence in my stuff! So, I bathed him twice, put some flea-killing junk on him, sprayed nasty chemicals all over my house and washed or threw out everything he touched or laid on. And ta-da...they're gone! Ewww....I get this creepy crawly feeling just thinking about them. I'm so glad that's over.

I lied in my post on 10/29: I haven't been working on putting pics on my website. It's such a daunting task that I don't even know where to begin! I promise they'll be there before the end of the month.

2002-10-29T20:47:00.000-06:00

Oh yeah...pics are coming....I took 185 of them and I'm slowly adding them to my website for viewing. It won't be long...I promise.

2002-10-29T20:46:00.000-06:00

Now that I'm home again, I'm so glad to be back! Life is kinda boring right now, but it's comforting to be on dry land in my own home. I missed my baby dog so much! He had good care while I was gone (thanks Mom and Re), so I didn't worry about him, but it's so nice to be back and loving on him! And of course I missed my friends, too! Yvette hasn't had her baby yet, Janna's baby is getting bigger by the minute and I need to call Jenn and see how she and Abby are doing.

In other news, I should be going back to work at Revenue in the next few weeks to fill in while Yvette's out. I'm really starting to have mixed emotions about this because I'm afraid once I get back I won't want to leave again. It's a source of constant worry right now. I'm hoping and praying that I'm making good decisions for myself. Only God knows so I'll just have to wait and see. Luckily Terri is very understanding and has told me many times that if I want to go back to Revenue, she'll understand. It's just not that simple, though. I don't want to leave her in the lurch for a job I used to hate. Oh, I just need to pray about it.

2002-10-29T20:33:00.000-06:00

Ok, so here's the scoop on my vacation. We (Me, Terri, Kenneth, Hunter, Thomas and Logan) flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico on October 11th and stayed for 2 nights. On October 13th, we boarded Royal Caribbean's cruise ship, Adventure of the Seas. We left the dock in San Juan and over the next 5 days, sailed to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Antigua, Barbados and St. Lucia. We were at sea on Saturday, the 19th, and docked in San Juan on Sunday. Then, we had to go through customs and immigration, get off the ship and then get right back on for the 2nd cruise. We left San Juan that night (the 20th) and over the next 5 days, sailed to Aruba, Curaco, St. Maarten again and St. Thomas again. We had 2 days at sea the 2nd week. Being on a cruise is like nothing I've ever experienced before. I had no idea what to expect from a cruise ship. Several people had told me about the food and different activities, but nothing could have prepared me for what it was really like. There were so many things to do aboard: rock climbing, ice skating, rollerblading, basketball, golf, putt-putt, swimming, and of course eating!!! The food was amazing, but even more amazing than that were the people who worked on the ship. All of the staff were from other countries; most of the ones we got to know were from Romania and Russia. The service was stupendous. And of course, being with adorable kids, we were doted on more often than not. Several of the waitstaff in the dining room we frequented came to know us by name and the dining room manager would hold tables for us and have highchairs waiting when we got there. It was a very wonderful experience.

That being said, although I enjoyed myself, 16 days is a long time to be away from family and friends. I am definitely a homebody, most comfortable in my own environment, surrounded by familiar things. Toward the end of the cruise, the days got longer and longer and I was so ready to leave! Several times I just wished I could call someone to pick me up and bring me home! I think it's because honestly, it was work for me. I went as the babysitter. And also, I felt like I was intruding on a family vacation. Even though Terri repeatedly assured me that they wanted me there, I still felt like an outsider. All in all, I did have a great time and I really have nothing to complain about. I mean, who gets to travel the Caribbean, all expenses paid and still get a paycheck when they get home?

2002-10-27T21:48:00.000-06:00

I'm back safe and sound from my cruise! Got lots of updating to do (MAJOR things have happened at home), but I'm so exhausted right now. More to come later.

2002-10-09T17:10:00.000-05:00

Everything is packed and ready to go for the cruise. I left a few outfits out for this week, so tomorrow night I'll be washing the ones I've worn and packing them up. I'm still nervous about the flight, but my mom has definitely helped reassure me that everything will be fine. Even so, a few nervous jitters keep popping up every now and then. I hope that I'll be so busy watching the boys that I won't be able to pay much attention to flying.

2002-10-09T17:08:00.000-05:00

My wonderful parents gave me a digital camera yesterday to use on my cruise! I was sort of surprised, but not really. My mom and I had been shopping together last Saturday and I mentioned that I needed to get some disposable cameras for my trip. Her reply was, "You might need to wait on that." So, I figured that she was planning on giving me some kind of camera before I left and I was right!!!

2002-10-09T17:05:00.000-05:00

I saw Jenn's baby today. She was so sweet, she never stopped looking at her mama's face. I really didn't know how small she would be, so when I saw her, I was shocked. I can't imagine holding a baby so small. She weighs 3 pounds, 8 ounces and hopefully will be going home within the next 2 weeks. Jenn was able to start nursing her this week and Abby is doing very well with it. She can't nurse for very long because she gets tired easily, but she's growing stronger by the day. I'm keeping her in my prayers that she grows well and leaves the hospital soon.

2002-10-07T16:49:00.000-05:00

Ok, I'm back after being offline for almost a week. I stayed with Terri and the kids while her husband was on a business trip to San Diego. He came back today, so I'm back home in my own bed! YIPPEE!!!

Lots of things have happened since my last update, but I haven't quite organized them in my head yet. I'm trying to get everything together for Friday when we leave for the cruise. I've bought everything I need so I just need to pack it up and make sure not to leave anything out.

In my last post I mentioned that Jenn had her baby 2 months early. I was supposed to go visit last Thursday but it didn't work out for either of us, so I hope to go sometime this week. Baby Abby is doing OK and gaining weight. She had a few troubles with oxygen saturation last week but she's doing better now. She's put on over a pound in 2 weeks and should be going home soon. Jenn is doing fine.

Yvette is due in 1 month and she's ready for the baby to come. I saw her yesterday at lunch and she looks about ready to pop!! Sorry if that offends anyone. She's pretty miserable with swelling and tiredness, so I hope she gets some relief soon. But, selfish me hopes that Baby won't make it's appearance until I get back from the cruise!

That's all for now. I'll be back in a while to update more. I really need to take a nap!

2002-09-30T19:28:00.000-05:00

My friend Jenn had her baby on the 22nd! She was 2 months early, but very healthy. She weighed 2 lbs, 15 oz and was 16" long. She now weighs 3 lbs, 4 oz and should be able to go home soon. Baby's name is Abby Lee. I'm going to visit Thursday and I can't wait!

2002-09-26T23:56:00.000-05:00

2 weeks from tomorrow I'll be leaving for my cruise. Tonight I started making a list of all things I will need to pack. At over 2 pages long, it's quite a list. But I don't want to leave anything out. I think it's better to overpack than underpack. Well, I hope so anyway. I don't want to overdo it.

I'm really really really nervous about the flight. Being on the cruise ship for 2 weeks doesn't scare me at all. It's the flight to San Juan and then the flight home that give me the willies. I've always had this fear, so it's nothing new. Please, please, please pray for me on October 11th and the 27th!!!

2002-09-26T23:53:00.000-05:00

My little ticky's birthday is tomorrow. She will be 23! Happy Birthday, Re!!!

2002-09-26T23:52:00.000-05:00

So maybe I am psychic after all. It seems that Isidore took an easterly turn and didn't do much of anything to this area. New Orleans got a LOT of rain, as did Slidell. But Baton Rouge got nothin'! It did rain for over 24 hours straight, but a slow steady drizzle. Nothing exciting. Oh well.

2002-09-24T22:01:00.000-05:00

Hurricane Isidore is on her way to Louisiana!!! I loooove bad weather. I don't want anyone to get hurt or anything bad, but I love storms and rain and wind and lightning, etc. I'm going to print out a hurricane tracking chart so I can plot Isidore's course. Something tells me she's not really coming this way but I don't claim to be a psychic so we'll just have to wait and see!

2002-09-24T21:58:00.000-05:00

Something totally unexpected happened today: I was offered a job! A friend from Revenue (I used to work there) called and asked if I would like to work for her in the Purchasing Division. As flattering as it was, I had to decline. Not only could I NEVER work for this person, but I like my current job waaaaaaay too much to quit. I told her that I appreciated the offer but I couldn't accept. She understood and said that she knew I would refuse, but had to ask. It just really shocked me. For one instant, I actually thought about accepting. Then I realized who I was talking to and how great I have it right now and I just couldn't do it. Whew.....

2002-09-22T21:25:00.000-05:00

What I did yesterday (all times are approximate...I didn't sit down and type all day:):

8:00 am: Got up, put on clothes
8:05 am: Took Sam for a walk
8:15 am: Came back in and laid in bed
9:00 am: Logged onto computer and surfed the internet for about an hour
10:00 am: Rode my bike 8 miles to my parent's house and back (stopped inside and talked to my dad for about 10 minutes)
11:00 am: Got home and called my mom about her plans for the day (we had a family dinner planned to celebrate/announce Maria and Dennis' engagement). We decided I would go to her house and wait for her to come back from picking up her sister and then we would go to Wal-Mart and then the Baton Rouge Airport to pick up my uncle's car (long story).
12:00 pm: Arrived at Mom's house for the 2nd time (drove this time) and waited for her to come back. Visited with my dad (again) and watched some TV.
1:00 pm: Mom and Aunt Jolita (her sister) came home and we left for Wal-Mart. Shopped for about 30 minutes.
1:30 pm: Left Wal-Mart and drove to the Baton Rouge Airport, picked up uncle's car and led Aunt Jolita back to the Gun & Knife Show to meet her husband.
2:00 pm: Got back to Mom's house and I left to go home and rest and prepare fruit salad for dessert at my house later.
2:05 pm: Came back in from walking Sam, ate an entire container of Fat Free Cool Whip!!! and logged onto internet again.
3:00 pm: Laid on bed and slept for about an hour and a half. Woke up several times due to torrential rain.
4:30 pm: Got up and walked Sam again. Walked down 4 steps into parking lot and stepped into 3 inches of water. It had rained so much that a lake of water accumulated in the parking lot. At some places, it was up to my knees. Poor Sam had trouble walking.
4:45 pm: Came in and called Mom to say that parking lot was a lake and I might not make it over for dinner at 6:00. Moved my car to a higher spot because the water was almost up to the hubcaps.
5:00 pm: Began cutting up fruit for fruit salad.
5:20 pm: Janna called me back and we talked for 25 minutes. Played Solitaire on my computer while we talked.
5:45 pm: Got off phone and started cleaning up apartment: vaccuumed, swept, cleaned kitchen, etc.
6:00 pm: Got dressed (jeans and orange shirt w/flip flops) and left for Mom's house again.
6:15 pm: Arrived at parent's house and greeted Cousin Priscilla, Aunt Jo, Uncle Billy, Mom, Dad, Maria and Dennis
7:00 pm: We ate supper (veggie lasagna, noodles and chicken w/alfredo sauce (homemade - I didn't eat chicken), salad, bread, and steamed veggies. We sort of grazed for about 45 minutes.
7:45 pm: Began cleaning kitchen: Priscilla was washing dishes and as she let the water out of the sink, it proceeded to pour out of the cabinet under the sink all over the floor. The pipe had come apart. Daddy fixed it and all was well.
8:00 pm: Left with Priscilla for Albertsons to buy more Cool Whip :)
8:15 pm: Got to my apartment. Everyone else was already there.
8:30 pm: Served 7 bowls of fruit salad with Cool Whip and talked with family.
9:30 pm: Everyone left.
9:45 pm: Took a long bath and went to bed.

2002-09-22T21:05:00.000-05:00

Ok, I don't really want a baby right now. Had to get that out of my system.

2002-09-22T21:04:00.000-05:00

I've forgotten just how tiny newborn babes are!!! I was holding Evan, Janna's new baby, Friday night and he's so tiny!!! I can understand how some people are afraid to hold such small babies. I have no problem, though. I can't put him down at all!!! I think I sat and held him for at least 2 hours. He slept most of that time, but he did wake up and stare into my eyes for about 5 minutes. It was so cute!!! I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2002-09-18T15:32:00.000-05:00

My least favorite word is moist. I HATE that word. Absolutely cannot stand it. I don't care if it's in reference to a cake or what. It's disgusting!

2002-09-18T08:11:00.000-05:00

Happy Birthday, Mom!!! Today she turns 29!!! (Not really, but that's what she's telling everyone for the 3rd year in a row!)

I hope you have the bestest day ever!!!

I love you!

2002-09-18T08:09:00.000-05:00

There's a new baby in the world!!!!

Happy Birthday to Evan Scott, son of Janna (my best friend)! He was born yesterday, 9/17/02, at 9:45 p.m. He weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 19 1/2" long. He looks a lot like Ryan (1st son) did as a newborn and he's definitely Raymond's son! He's got his daddy's nose, mouth and chin exactly!

I'm so excited about this birth!

The kicker here is that Evan was *supposed* to be a girl!!! Her name was going to be Reagan (Ryan's choice). Both ultrasounds dictated a girl and so EVERYONE bought girl stuff!!! Pink, pink, pink and ladybugs galore!!! Oh well, that just means she has to have another!!! Right, Janna?

Congratulations, Janna and Raymond! I'm so happy for you guys.

2002-09-12T23:07:00.000-05:00

Exactly 29 days from now, I'll be flying to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a cruise around the Caribbean! I'm so excited that I can hardly think about anything else. I didn't think I would be going on a vacation this year (for $$ reasons) and then I'm told by my boss that I'm going on a cruise with them!!!! Woo-Hoo!!!

However, I'm a bit concerned because my best friend is going to deliver her 2nd baby sometime around the end of September and I won't be able to see much of her or the babe in October. I don't know what I'm going to do. That's kinda sad.

Then, 2 of my other friends, Yvette and Jenn, are having babies in early November. I hope they don't come early because I want to be here (I know, selfish me) when the births happen.

2002-09-12T17:46:00.000-05:00

My dad and I just finished baking a yummy cake! I went to my parent's house at 3:30 so he could try to change the oil in my car (didn't work) and he said that he wanted to bake a "practice" cake for my mom's birthday next week. We made a yellow cake with a cream cheese icing. YUM!!!! I ate 2 big pieces and now I'm very full. It was worth it, though.

2002-09-11T22:34:00.000-05:00

One year ago, I was watching in horror as the World Trade Center buildings were demolished by terrorists. Today, I am remembering that day. I remember praying for the victims, their families and for my family. I am continuing to pray for them. I chose not to watch any of the programs that have been recently aired in regards to 9/11/01. Instead, I choose to think back on the year that has passed and what God has given us rather than what has been taken away. I thank Him for my freedom. I thank Him for my family. I thank Him for my life.

2002-09-09T22:37:00.000-05:00

What I'm grateful for:
a new, clean apartment
my baby dog
the close relationship I have with my family
good friends
going on a free cruise in 1 month
the opportunity to follow my dream
cold water when I'm thirsty
my life

2002-09-09T22:33:00.000-05:00

I'm a happy girl again! For all who want to know what was bothering me here goes: My sister is getting married. WOW!!! I'm thrilled for her, but I'm really sad, too. First of all, I really thought (or maybe just hoped) that I, being the older sister, would be the first to get hitched. I guess that's just me being silly. Second of all, after the big day, she'll be moving out of state with her husband. That's the part that hurts really bad. We're really close right now and I just can't see her not living in the same city with me. So, my emotions took over Friday and it was a bad day. I'm fine now and coming to terms with this new development in my sister's life. Congratulations, Ticky!!! I love you to bits and couldn't be happier for you.

Terri called to check on me a while ago. She wanted me to come over, but I really wasn't feeling up to being sociable so I declined. It made me feel a smidgen better that she called to make sure I was ok.

I just finished cleaning my apartment. I love working hard to clean and then admiring the end result. It's a little aggravating that no matter how hard you scrub the toilet, you're gonna have to clean it again in a few days. Know what I mean?

I'm in a very crummy mood today. My morning started off badly. Wait, I need to start from the VERY beginning. I stayed up way too late last night (actually, it was this morning) and had to wake up kinda early. It was raining and that just didn't help my mood. All sorts of little things (like the towel falling in the bathwater while I was drying off) kept happening until I walked out the door. I got to Terri's and things got worse from there. She asked what was wrong and I couldn't talk about it without crying, so I just didn't talk at all. She left to take Hunter to the doctor and I sat with the twins until they came back. I just feel so bad that she wanted me to talk and I couldn't. She understood. I guess. Then, she ordered "A Walk to Remember" on PayPerView for us to watch because she really wanted me to see it. It was a good movie (not really my type), but I cried through most of it. Even parts that weren't sad made me cry. I'm telling you, it just wasn't a good day at all. So she felt bad for ordering that movie when she knew I was sad to begin with. I left right after because I just didn't want to be around people anymore. I called Janna to let her know that I wouldn't be going to dinner with her and Raymond and then went home. I'm still not feeling any better. I get all weepy at the slightest thing and that is just not normal for me.

I know exactly what the problem is, but I feel so dumb talking about it. Maybe someone will be able to drag it out of me. I guess I'll be doing better tomorrow. Right now I'm gonna let my Roman's salad digest and munch on the pine nuts at the bottom of my glass of Lebanese Iced Tea.

2002-09-05T22:40:00.000-05:00

I am so happy!!! I finally got pics of all my family and put them on my blog....See????

Aren't we cute???

I'm trying to get the sizing just right and all, but so far I'm happy with it.

Please drop me a line and let me know if you like it or not.

2002-09-01T17:12:00.000-05:00

My new apartment is wonderfully grand! All of my stuff is unpacked and arranged how I like it. And all of my appliances are in working order and so all is well. The first night here was kind of rough as far as sleeping, but I think I've finally gotten settled. Sam is adjusting, too. He's been barking at pretty much everything. I think he's trying to get used to all the noises and goings-on over here. It's quite different from our previous home. But, all in all, everything is great.

In other news, Happy Birthday to my wonderful Dad!!! It's kind of a bummer that I don't get to spend time with him on his birthday (we're both busy with church stuff today), but we're all going out for dinner tomorrow night. I love you, Daddy!

2002-08-27T22:13:00.000-05:00

I am so very tired. My dad and I spent 3 1/2 hours this afternoon moving my stuff to my new apartment. We got all my furniture except for my mattress, computer and computer table. It was pretty uneventful, although we had a lot of trouble getting the couch (it's a sleeper) out of my current place and then while moving the entertainment center into my new place, it fell on my neck. Yes, you read that right, my neck. My dad had the top and I had the bottom and he put his end down without warning me first. So, I was forced to lower my end (the scratchy, unfinished end, mind you) and as I went down, the entertainment center came down on my neck. Needless to say, that put a damper on the rest of the moving. On a positive note, I really love my new apartment! It rocks! It has this really great bay window setup in the living room and the whole thing is pretty roomy. That's a big plus, because I can't stand a cramped, crowded house. I want room to walk without stepping over stuff and if the lights go out, I don't want to be stubbing my toes on everything. Speaking of toes, I've got a broken one. Seems that repeatedly running into a heavy picture frame on the floor will break a baby toe. Who knew?

2002-08-25T23:20:00.000-05:00

I made more changes to my blog. I added an About Me page and a Guestmap. Please sign the Guestmap if you read my blog, even if you are a visitor. It lets me know a little about you and where you are located.

I'm very happy with the end result. Yay for me for learning HTML!!!

2002-08-24T19:11:00.000-05:00

I have gotten so much accomplished today! Packing wise, I mean. Thanks to J (and Ryan :), most of my downstairs has been packed/dismantled. I'm dreading starting upstairs because that's where the major clutter is. My closets are in an uproar! Time for "summer" cleaning. If I can't remember wearing it or it doesn't fit, it's outta here!
***************************************
When you're sitting talking to someone, do you ever think to yourself about what a great conversation you're having? I do. It happened today. Let's just call it Veggie Chili Bonding. :)

2002-08-23T15:44:00.000-05:00

I did some MAJOR renovations to my blog. Do you like them? Let me know.

2002-08-23T15:04:00.000-05:00

I'm moving in one week. How exciting! I love, love, love moving. Of course it IS a lot of work and sometimes expensive, but I love having a new place to decorate and call my own. So, I won't be online much at all next week. Busy, busy, busy. I have YET to start packing and then I have to clean this junkhole. Just kidding.

Jenn, if you read this......I miss you. Call me sometime.

2002-08-20T21:58:00.000-05:00

I'm so tired of watching kid's shows: VeggieTales, Caillou, Arthur, Rolie Polie Olie, Thomas the Train, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, etc.... They are all wonderful in a 3 year old's mind, but somehow the logic is lost on me. I'd rather, oh, have my eyes gouged out with a spoon. Just kidding.

Interesting tidbit: carrots stimulate insulin production which stimulates hunger. That explains why, after eating almost an entire bag of baby carrots, I'm still STARVING!!!! Green veggies are better for munching...less sugar. Thanks, Mom, for that tip of the day.

2002-08-18T14:46:00.000-05:00

All these killings and kidnapping attempts here in Baton Rouge have me thinking about fear. I'm not afraid of many things or things that other people fear. Most of my fears are about my future and what I'll do with my life. I'm not really that afraid of death or dying. I understand that some people fear it, but I don't see the point. It's gonna happen and you can't predict when it will but you can try to prevent it. Bottom line: take care of yourself and use common sense. Other than that, it's up to God. My greatest fear is that I'll never get married and have kids. I can honestly say that's the one thing I want to do. I've always wanted children and a husband (not in that order). So far, nothing is happening. I'm sure something great is in store for me some day. All I can do is pray for it and wait for it to happen.

Another fear is that I'll lose one of the greatest friends I've ever had. We talked about it the other day and I feel better getting it out in the open. See, we've had some trouble being and staying friends. We met in November of 1998 and quickly became best friends. I met her husband and we all got to be very close. They had their 1st baby in December of 1999 and everything was so wonderful. Then, for some unknown reason, we started fighting and getting annoyed with each other. We've stopped talking several times only to find ourselves incredibly miserable. I finally realized this last time that I really want to be her friend. Putting all differences aside, it's the best friendship I've ever had. We're as close as sisters. Maybe all my worrying is for naught, but I think it will be a real fear for a while. I hope talking and writing about it will ease my mind. It seems that through all the struggle we've created a stronger bond. I truly hope so. I know that I can't live without her friendship.

2002-08-17T22:24:00.000-05:00

I miss my sister. We haven't done much together since she and D have been serious about each other. I'm incredibly happy that she is happy and has someone to be with, but I'm being selfish because I really do miss her. I think part of it is that we don't live together anymore. I'm enjoying living on my own, but I still miss her. We'll just have to get together more often!

2002-08-17T16:27:00.000-05:00

It's Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!! The weekend!!!! I love, love, love the weekend!

I know I've been saying how busy I've been, but it's so true. I'm busier now than I ever have been. Even when I was going to school and working full time. This is nuts! Busy is good, but sometimes being bored is good, too.

I really love working for Terri. She's a great person. We have so much in common and one of those things is we both love to talk! Yesterday we spent 1/2 an hour talking about boobs. Ok, nothing gross or anything, just something we ended up talking about. It was hilarious. Good thing her 3 1/2 year old wasn't paying attention. He'd have been repeating everything we said!

I'm so glad to be spending time with J and her hubby and kid. We're just having a relaxing Saturday chillin' at my place and then cooking fish later tonight. I really love that. Nothing like having good friends over.

2002-08-14T10:43:00.000-05:00

I've been really busy. Really!

Between babysitting and trying to pack up my house for my move in 3 weeks, I'm keeping myself entertained.

I've started reading books again. Remember when I posted about needing read more and watch less TV? Well, it's working! I'm so proud of myself. I pop an Enya CD into the CD player, get some water, light some candles and curl up on the couch (or floor) and read. It so nice. I have fallen asleep a few times, but that's OK too. Rest is goooood.

I sold a bunch of stuff on Ebay, so I had to go ship it all this morning. $57 to ship 4 packages across the U.S. That's a lot of $$. At least I didn't have to pay for it.

Ok, so I really don't have to say this, but.....I MISS MY FRIENDS FROM WORK!!!!!!!!! It's really hard sometimes. I got something in the mail from Revenue in a hand-addressed envelope and on the inside of the flap, someone had written "We Miss You". I started bawling when I read that. Re was with me and she hugged me while I cried. It's so sad that I don't see them every day. I mean, it's not the end of the world, but it's as hard as I thought it would be. I'm going to visit next week, so that is better.

Enough complaining. I have to go to the gym. YAY!!!!

2002-08-09T21:58:00.000-05:00

I'm exhausted. I'll update later.....................

Sorry, my loyal fans...........

2002-08-06T21:20:00.000-05:00

You'd think that being temporarily unemployed, I'd be fairly bored/not really busy. WRONG! I am so busy. If I'm not going to visit friends, I'm babysitting for the boys. It's like I'm trying to cram in as much activity as possible during these 2 weeks off. I guess that's good, but at the end of the day I'm just exhausted. So exhausted, in fact, that I haven't washed dishes in over 3 days!!!! *gasp* That is so strange for me. Ok, so it's not the end of the world.
************************************
Here's my agenda for the rest of the week:
Wednesday: get up early, go exercise, leave BR by 10:00 for Lafayette to visit JoAnn, be back from Lafayette by 4:00 in time to rest at home and go to work at 4:45
Thursday: get up early, go exercise, take Re out to lunch at Silver Spoon, HOPEFULLY start packing for move to new apt
Friday: get up early, go exercise, call Terri and arrange time to go to Sam's, go shopping with Peggy after she gets off work at 5:00 (really looking forward to this - I miss her so much!)
************************************
I visited my old office today. I was so nervous about seeing everyone again 1) because it's only been a week and a half since I left and 2) because I have a totally different haircut that I'm kinda insecure about. (But I love it, BTW) Anyhoo, the visit went great. 3 close friends and I went to eat at Roman's, my fave Meditteranean restaurant. We chatted like old times and had a blast. It was sad to see them go, but I know another visit is just around the corner. But, in case they read this: I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2002-08-05T12:04:00.000-05:00

Yikes, I haven't updated in a while.

My sister cut my hair yesterday. Keep in mind that she is NOT a hairdresser. BUT, it's so cute. It's about, I don't know, 2 inches long all over and really cute. It's spiky right now b/c it's so short, but that will calm down. I love it. I know my family will have mixed feelings, though. Ok, my mom will hate it. Oh well, can't please everyone.

I've been selling stuff on Ebay. Not doing as well as I'd like, but better than nothing.

2002-07-31T12:51:00.000-05:00

This not having a job thing is so weird. It's boring, but in a good way. I feel totally relaxed and stress-free. On the other hand, it's almost unsettling that I don't have to stress about work stuff. I think I'll get used to it, though.

Not much has been going on. I'm determined to lose at least 15 pounds before October 11 (the day I leave to cruise the Caribbean). I really hope that happens. I'm trying to focus on eating very well: basically a wholefoods, mainly vegetarian diet with a little fish 3 or so times a week. Also exercising at least 5 days a week. So far, I've gone 2 out of 3 days. We'll see what happens. Considering that I've already lost 76, 15 pounds seems like such a small amount. But, it's not that easy to just do it. It really is a mind game. I'll keep you posted.

2002-07-27T20:02:00.000-05:00

Well, I'm officially unemployed. That sounds so strange. This is the biggest thing in my life right now. Let's face it: jobs are very important. Not having one is so scary. I will be starting my new job as a nanny on August 12, but for 2 whole weeks I'm unemployed. This is only the second time I've quit a job. The first time was to start another job with the state right away. I really feel like I've made a good decision, but there is some doubt still lingering. That's really hard to admit.
********************************************
Last night I got drunk for the first time in over a year. Maybe 2. It was a blast. Until the nausea and dizziness set in. Now I remember why I usually don't get drunk. But, man, those margaritas were so good. I went to Joe's Crabshack with J, her husband, R, and r, their son. I think we laughed about 80% of the time. Laughter is so good for the soul.
*******************************************
I have 3 friends who are expecting babies. J, Y, and JN. J and JN are having girls and Y is not finding out. Needless to say, I've been spending waaaaaaaay too much $$ on baby stuff. But it's so much fun!!! Anyway, after today, I'm not buying anything else. I mean, I love these people, but these aren't my kids. Gotta save some $$ for me and Sammy!

2002-07-25T20:22:00.000-05:00

My office is taking me out to lunch tomorrow. What a treat! We're going to the Macaroni Grill. When they asked me where I wanted to go, I figured I'd better think of some place great that I normally wouldn't go to. I've only been to the Macaroni Grill once before, but I liked it. Everyone seemed happy with my choice.

I think I'm really going to be missed. Not to sound stuck-up or anything, but it's so nice to hear that from people. *sigh* I guess I'll miss them, too. Just kidding.

2002-07-24T08:01:00.000-05:00

G'day! I wish I could speak in an Australian accent. Wouldn't that be fun? I remember when I lived in Cajun Country for 5 1/2 years, I developed a very definite Cajun accent. Of course, I didn't notice until someone told me. Adding "Cher" to the end of every sentence was definitely fun. It's amazing how you can do something unconsciously for the longest time. I sort of miss that. Ahh, memories.

So it's Wednesday now. 3 more days left at my job. I'm not even sad any more. We'll see when Friday rolls around, though.

I babysat for my boys Monday night. When I got there the electricity was off due to a storm. So, it was hot. The twins were sweating like crazy. Thomas' hair sticking to his forehead and his onesie was soaking wet, so I took it off and let him go nekked!! Same for Logan. Hunter was pretty much already there. He likes to run around in only a shirt and undies. That makes things much easier for going to the potty. At least I don't have to deal with fastening/unfastening shorts for 4 hours. To aleve some of the boredom, I took out a disposable camera and Hunter had a blast taking pictures of me and his brothers. What can I say? The boy has a knack for photography. Anyway, it was a blast. I really love those kids!

2002-07-22T09:12:00.000-05:00

It's Monday. Hats off to everyone who loves Mondays. I hate them. I suppose I would feel the same way about Tuesdays if they started off the week. Hmm.

Anyway, I had a pretty good weekend. I babysat until 1 a.m. Saturday morning and then slept really late. I went to the gym, went to my parent's house, spent a lot of time online, went to Wal-Mart, put some clothes for sale on Ebay, piddled around at parent's house again and went home to bed. Sunday was pretty uneventful as well. I worked at church in the a.m., visited a friend, J, in the afternoon, procrastinated about going to the gym, cooked a bunch of food and worked again in the evening.

Oh yeah. My sister, Re, showed up enexpectedly with her new boyfriend Sunday afternoon. He seems to be a really nice guy. I was kind of surprised, though, because he's a little different than the guys she normally goes out with. I guess his shyness is what surprised me. She's not shy at all. But, they seem happy..so, I'm happy for them.

Well, ta-ta for now.

2002-07-20T20:42:00.000-05:00

Google! DayPop! This is my blogchalk: English, United States, Louisiana, Baton Rouge, Anna, Female, 21-25!

I added this blogchalking thing to my blog.

2002-07-20T20:26:00.000-05:00

Look!!!
<------------------------
I put a picture of Sam on my blog. That's my baby. He's a 9 1/2 year old beagle mix. I've had him since he was 6 weeks old. I absolutely adore him.

2002-07-18T08:25:00.000-05:00

I'm having mixed emotions about leaving my job. There, I said it. It really scares me to death. Even though I've checked everything out with Kenneth and Teri and the 3 of us know that this is a big step for me, I still feel a little apprehensive. I guess that's normal. I'm not feeling like I shouldn't be doing this, it's more like I wonder if I'm gonna be OK. $$ wise I know I will. That's not the problem. I'm afraid that I'm going to be bored and get tired of watching kids every day. I think it's just last minute jitters. Sort of like cold feet. I only have 7 days left here! 7! Just 7! After working here 3 1/2 years, 7 days seems like minutes. Seconds, even.

I'm going to sit here at my desk, listen to Enya and just chill out. Everything's fine. Everything's fine. Everything's fine. That's my mantra for the day.

2002-07-16T09:15:00.000-05:00

Last night I went to J's house and hung out and drank a beer. A BEER!!! I haven't had one of those in so long. Since I've been on this health kick, I haven't really drunk any alcohol in the last 6 months. So, I had one last night. It was so good. I probably could have chugged the whole thing in one swallow, but I held myself back.

Anyway, I had a great time at J's house. She has a 2 1/2 year old son, r, and a baby on the way. So, r and I had a great time. I really love that little kid! I've never been one to voluntarily play with kids his age, but there's something about him that I love. He's very uninhibited, curious and just sweet! It'll be so cool to tell him that I've known him since he was born.

2002-07-15T08:12:00.000-05:00

I need to start reading more. I used to be such an avid reader. Re and I practically grew up in the library. How did I get away from that? Ah, I know...TV!!! It seems that the television has replaced my inclination to read. So, here's my plan: get to the library ASAP and get some very interesting books, watch 1 hour less of TV a day and READ!!!

2002-07-14T14:31:00.000-05:00

Working in the nursery was very easy today. We didn't have the normal deluge of babies. Normally we have about 7 babies for the early service, between 4 and 7 for Sunday School and then around 7 for the late service. We averaged 4 babies for each service today. It was so nice and relaxing.

I love holding a sleeping baby. They are so angelic and peaceful. One of life's greatest pleasures.

2002-07-13T20:35:00.000-05:00

People I'll be talking about a lot:

Re- My sister, my infinite friend, someone I cannot live without. I'll speak of her fondly (for the most part) and sometimes not so fondly.

J- My closest friend. We've been through hell and back and that has made us so strong. Our friendship is very important to me.

M- My mom. I can't say enough about her. She gave me life, she's wonderful, she's one of my favorite people.

D- My dad. Another of my favorite people. He's tall, strong and a great dad. I love him so much.

Sam- My dog. Ok, so he's technically not a person, but who cares? You can see a pic of him here.

Well, I'm outta here. I'm going home to possibly take a nap. It's so gray and wet outside that I can't think of anything better to do.

What I'm doing this weekend:

Saturday- working from 8:00 - 1:00, going to parent's house, going to gym (maybe), home, play with Sam, find something to eat, go to the bookstore, go to Wal-Mart, hopefully go to bed early

Sunday- work at church from 7:45 - 12:45, go to sister's house (maybe), go to gym (definitely), home, play with Sam, cook something, go back to church from 5:15 - 7:30 or so, home, probably go to bookstore again, bed early for work Monday

Well, looks like my weekend is going to be primarily spent working. That's OK. I need the $$ anyway.

It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hazy outside right now. I guess it could be from the numerous chemical plants that are located downtown. Duh.

I'm sitting at my desk looking out the window and I see lots of activity: men shoveling dirt as they repair a parking lot, cars driving endlessly up and down North 3rd Street, people at the top of the State Capitol looking at our city. I feel sometimes like I'm watching TV. The people down below don't know I'm watching them. I can see lots of things from up here. Makes for a very interesting, if not distracting, day.

Off to work again.

Do we see a pattern here?

My favorite color is blue. I'm feeling blue. Is there a bed around that I can crawl in and hide away forever?
