Someone please explain to me how I grew up surrounded by the men in my family and turned out the way I did? I mean seriously. I don't really understand it.  My brother and I were raised in the same household with the same mother and father. He saw how our father was and we both experienced it. Then when our parents got divorced and my mom married my step dad he saw how different he was.&nbsp

The HelpIn a previous post I wrote that I was reading The Help and that once I finished I would get back. Well guess what! I finished it. Once I past a certain point in the book I couldn’t seem to put it down. Even though the story is fiction (and the author makes a note in her own words at the end of the book to make it known to the reader) it could just as well be true. Anyone who has grown

August 12, 2011As I sit hear reading on CNN about the soldiers we lost on the deadliest day since the war in Afghanistan started, I’m struck by a realization. Some of those men were my age or close to my age and yet they seemed so much older than me. They have accomplished so much in their young lives and contributed more to the world than I would ever be able to. I mean how can I contribute

With the 10 year anniversary of 9-11 fast approaching I can't help but remember where I was 10 years ago. Today. I mean I can vividly remember where I was and what I was doing 10 years ago! Which is big because I can barely remember what I'd did a year ago or sooner on some things. But I guess you could say that my life completely changed that day. Boone can know if their lives would have been

So I'm reading a new book Heaven is for Real and I gotta tell you that so far it is an amazing story about Faith, the power or prayer AND shows that there really is good in people today. I'm halfway through and I've cried like 3 times. It is so moving and I would recommend it to everyone I know. I'll post more once I'm done. Whoa.

So I haven’t heard from my step-sister since our high school 10 year reunion in 2009 and then all of the sudden last night I got a message from her.  It was really nonchalant and how she just came across my page and how I seemed happy.  While I’m reading this message all I can think is….huh….where the crap did this come from. It’s really weird and out

So I'm doing this on my other blog and falling behind on my facebook page....so I thought I'd start it on here.  Its a challenge based in photos and each day is obviously a different photo. So I'll start today with Day 1. Day 01 - A picture of yourself with fifteen facts. 1-I’m lazy2- I don’t have the best work ethic3-I love to read romance novels4-I love history5-I’ve recently begun to love

There is so much going on right now that I just don't know where to begin.  So my roommate and I are moving this month (instead of next month) and we are moving in with her mom and grandmother. We're doing this for two reasons, 1. they need the help financially and 2. I need to save money in order to pay off my car and save for a house. I am so tired of renting and just putting that money

 I miss you so much sometimes that words cannot express how much I miss you. I think of something that i want to tell you and then it hits me that you aren’t there in person to hear it and it hurts that I can’t say it to your face. It hurts so bad sometimes that I can’t breath.  You were my light when it was cloudy and I’ve had some really cloudy days lately and&nbsp

There so many thoughts running through my head right now I don't know where to begin. I know I haven't been the best sister with keeping in touch with my siblings but I do try and I guess the reason I don't try so hard with the youngest two is b/c when I do try to communicate with them, in a form they understand, text....they ignore it or don't respond. So I stop trying to talk to them.  I

So I got an email that had a link to play an addictive game.  The point of the game is to see how fast your reflexes are in shooting tranquilizer dart at stray sheep.  If you jump the gun there is a 3 second penalty which will inevitably put you in the slowest category.  There are 5 categories of speed: Sluggish Snail, Ambling Armadillo, Bobbing Bobcat, Rocketing Rabbit and

I fear I am stuck.  Stuck in a place that I can’t get out of because I have no desire to try.  Stuck in a place that I fear I may never try to get out of because it is comfortable and I don’t want to test the waters.  I really want to move forward but I’m stuck.  The thing that probably causes me to be stuck in this place is my fear of the unknown. Not fear of a challenge but

So because I've recently purchased an IPhone I am in the process of putting my music onto it. I gotta tell you I love having my favorite music at my fingertips. Anyway I'm in the process of currently doing that and it gets pretty tedious especially when you realize that you have music on your computer not labeled. You see this then means that I have to sit and listen to the songs and name them.

Oh boy!! Looks like there is gonna be some more winter weather here! LOL! I find it terribly funny that there is a chance, a 40% chance, of a wintry mix and schools are already announcing when they will be closing.  That's just crazy to me. I mean really?? Holy cow! I realize that this is the south and anytime that there is a mere MENTION of wintry weather, the grocery stories are cleared

So I got the blogger app for my phone and I'm trying it out to see if I like it. So far so good. You know sometimes I just don't feel like getting my computer out to blog and I alway have my phone so we'll see how it goes.

Ok a confession. Well I have already confessed that when I was a teenager I had suicidal thoughts and how I moved passed that. So I guess the only other confession that I have to make is that I’m scared I’m a disappointment to my parents and they just don’t want to tell me.  I’m scared I haven’t achieved everything that they wanted me to achieve and that by not doing so they will stop loving

ummmmmm…..well let’s see 1. I’d have to say just the usual smiley. I’m pretty content with most of the aspects of my life so I smile. 2. I’d have to say another smiley would be the confused smiley, b/c yes I am a little confused. But that’s nothing unusal! :)

1. Beautiful eyes/smile 2. Ambition (amazing what you’ll find as a turn on as you get older) 3. Good listener. *of course I like a man that looks good that’s the initial turn on, but these are ones that turn you on after you know a person.

Hmmmm had to think on this one.... 1. Sloppy kisser 2. Jerk 3. Disrepectful (to anyone) 4. No ambition. Yeah they are coming in twos...only because I want to get it done...lol! So not the point but oh well! :)

1. Misty you are truly the best friend a person could ask for. You've stuck with me through my really bad outbursts and seen me through tough times. I couldn't ask for more than what you do for me. You make each birthday special and listen to me when I complain. Thank you for being there. 2.  Mom you were my best friend when I had none. You were there for me through everything I went through

1. Does he like me? 2. Will I ever marry? 3. When will I move forward? 4. I’m not going to end up divorced like my parents. 5. When am I going to sit down and write this book? 6. I need to lose weight. 7. Why am I so lazy?
