busy

I am trying to get things together for school in less than a month and Anna gets out of school soon. I have lots of weight issues going on right now and I also have lots to do around the house. I am thinking about taking a blog break or moving on all together. There are younger prettier blogs out there to view and I really have boring things to say right now. I may be back I may not. If I come back I may just start over with a new blog all together so if you want the new link or want to keep in touch e-mail me and I will let you know about my new blog address if that is what I decided to do.

Thanks for your time and comments,
Dawn

what turns you on?

This question is the most interesting to me because I use to strip but this question is more to the men than the women but...please I would like an answer from everyone. If your woman did a slow, sensuous strip tease for you and left only two things on what would you want it to be? (women....ask your man or just leave a comment with what you think would be the best two things that a man would want you to leave on.)

My personal answer is heels and some piece of jewelry.....necklace or bracelet.....maybe earrings but to me that is so common. Tell me what you think.

spring cleaning.....yeah right!

Day 1: I slept all day.....yes that is all I did....I might have done some dishes but I really just slept all day. I don't even remember eating. I did go to the gym early in the morning.

Day 2: I got my hair done at the salon...that was almost an all day affair. When I got home I went to Wal Mart with Greg but we did not buy much. On the way home we got stopped by the state police because he was not wearing a seatbelt. He got a $25 fine. He refuses to wear a seatbelt. When he was in an accident in the past and had his seatbelt on it did more harm than good, due to all the surgeries he has had on his back it can throw his back out of place and he can become paralyzed a lot easier then if he was to wear his seatbelt......so we took the ticket and kept on going. When I got home I fell asleep again and my honey covered my up with a blanket and let me rest on the couch. It's those simple things that he does for me that really make me love him so much. I'm so easy to make happy ;)

Day 3: Well, it's 12:08 and I have not been real productive today so I guess I will get off the computer and do something. Maybe if I throw everything away the house will be clean and there will nothing that I will have to do for the next 2 days....sounds like a plan to me.

vacation

hey, even if it is only a mini vacation it is still time off right?!? I slept most of the day away. I should have been cleaning but I still have 4 1/2 hrs left of my day so I can get lots done. It felt so good to sleep and I did get my workout in this morning and Anna off to school so I was productive today. I am also making a blog post so how great am I? I hope that I can stay this productive for the rest of my mini vacation. I have a few minor things I really need to complete and I am going to get my hair done tomorrow...that will be at least 2 maybe 3 hrs of my day right there. It's ok though....it's worth it.

I am going through all my e-mails and decided to stop by and change my post for you. I am sorry for the poor people that stop by to check on me and all you see is the same old boring stuff. I hat writing about my weight issues because it is boring.....there are things going on with Anna and my family but that is so personal and there are some people who I don't mind having you read it but there are others that have no business knowing about it so instead of having to explain the whole situation...I just leave it out. Work is another thing that is personal so that's out to........wow, I guess I am pretty boring....not sure why some of you still come around but I love you for it.....I will try to do something stupid and interesting so I will have some good stuff to write about so you don't fall asleep at your computer desk....sorry ya'll.

spring cleaning

I had the day off work today and I have been trying to catch up on all the neglect on the house. I am taking off Friday through Monday so I can concentrate on making my home beautiful again. I also have to work on making me beautiful again because I have not been taking the time for me. I will get everything back on track this week so there will be no excuses....I can't seem to get anything done when the house looks a mess.

Anna is outside today playing with her new soccer ball she got for Easter and I had the house all to myself for a few hours today. That's not normal in my home. It felt good to have the TV off and just spend the time in a quite house cleaning.

Nothing interesting to say. I have found a few things that went right n the trash...things I have not seen in years and have no use for but nothing to blog about....sorry

it's that time of year again

SANDAL PLEDGE

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of year again.
Please raise your big toes and repeat after me:
As a member of the Diva Sisterhood, I pledge to follow. THE RULES when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:




I promise to always wear sandals that fit.My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.







I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.








I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe.






I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed gorlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.







If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in the place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.








I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Sholl's if my feet need him.







I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kid's sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat, and I would hate to take someine down with me as I fall and break my ankle.







I will take my toe ring off towards the end of the day if my toe swells and begin to look like Vienna sausages.







I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are to ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her her toes look like they have been dragged behind her car on the way to work and not snadal in the world is going to make her feet look good.







I will promise if I wear flip flops, that I will ensure they actually flip flop, making the correct noise while walking and I willswear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.







I will promise to go to my local beauty school at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 and worth EVERY penny). I say spend another $15 and get an even better one.








Last but not least....PLEASE DON"T DO THIS..........

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear...nothing is tackier then dirty white sandals....

For all our sakes, please don't keep this to yourself - pass it on to other Sisters. May God Bless your Soles and well as your Soles!

just a normal day

I had to take Anna to school yesterday morning and there was a moffit truck on the main highway and all the sudden something fell off the uncovered moffit truck onto the road. It was crazy. I could not see anything in front of me and you can't slam on your breaks or you will cause an accident and I had to watch where I was going because you can't see what the person in front of you is doing. I could not see anything that was going on in front of me.

It was kinda cool though...almost like being in a nascar race! Only my insurance would go up for something like that so it take the whole "fun" thing away pretty quickly. When I drove by the spot again about 20 min later you could still see the smoke but I don't think anyone had an accident because of it but it was close.

I love nascar....not a big fan of anyone specific but I do love the commercials that they put the guys in...pretty cool! I like to see Jimmy Johnson lose only because I use to work at LOWES and I hate LOWES!

Have a great day ya'll.....oh, by the way....I did not do any good shopping yesterday so no shopping pictures yet....sorry ;(

I have pictures to post this week. My girlfriend gave me some special gifts and I am shopping today for shoes. With summer right around the corner I need new shoes! I hope to have the pictures posted by tomorrow but I have a doctors appointment and I may not have the time tomorrow...but I will try!

what's overtime????

I know I have not been around much. I decided that I will not work any overtime this week and I have today and tomorrow off work. I really need that time off.

I will be leaving my house in about a half hour to pick up my girlfriend from the airport. She is coming in town to see some friends and have her pictures taken. I worked with her when I was dancing and we just really got along well. She is one of those types of people that seem really stuck up but she is so down to earth that you would be amazed. Most people can not understand our friendship but she is only one of 2 people that I use to dance with that know me and Greg and are welcome in our home. Here is an old site that she was on, the pictures are a few years old check it out http://www.bbrent.com/reba/ .

We go back almost 9 years. She has some gifts for me because I have not seen her since I got married so she has some shot glasses for me (I collect them and she travels alot) and some extra shopping gifts. I just love gifts!

I guess I should get ready to go pick her up from the airport. I write more later.

Clean house

I need someone to come clean my house...no applications necessary...if you want to work for no pay but lots of thanks then please comment. I will take anyone......anyone...PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Ok, I think I have pulled my self back together. I really should not be on the computer because there are so many other things that I can be doing instead. I have .5 lbs to lose by Saturday to reach my weekly goal. I have lots, lots, lots (oh, did I mention lots) of cleaning to do. On the weigh loss subject I am changing my eating habits and adding lots of fruit. That is something that I have not done in a long time. Summer is around the corner and I want to have fun when I go shopping for clothes.

Work is going well. I can't believe that I have been at this job for almost 6 months now. Wow, time goes quick. I am finally getting the hang of things and working life around work a little bit better. I am trying to juggle so many things. I hope to get caught up over the weekend and things will be a little bit better.

Anna is going on the cruise with my mother. I don't feel like she really should go the way her attitude has been lately. That's another story in itself.

day off work

I guess my life is just to boring and not with enough drama to write about. I had the day off work my car is in the shop so they can do a check up on it....the brakes are acting funny and I wanted them to look it over.

Greg and I went out for lunch. We went to Long John Silver's for some fish. It was kinda nasty but I have never been there so we decided to give it a try. Mondays have started to be "our day". We always get out of the house to do something. It does not really matter what we do as long as we are out of the house and together. I really look forward to having lunch with only him. It is nice to know that every Monday this is something that we do. It makes my week go by faster.

My girlfriend that is working with my sister is back in town and working with her again. She could not wait to call me to tell me that Jessica is pregnant with James baby and that she is still working at the strip club. I told her that I just hope that the baby will be alright......I kinda lead her to think that Jessica may have an illness that may effect her baby. I know that maybe I should not have made that comment but I really don't care about Jessica having a baby by James who is locked up right now. James has another kid that is being raised by one of Jessicas friends because James is in jail and the baby's real mother does not want him and Jessica did not want him so now he is passed around until someone says that they will take care of him. It's really sad....I would take that kid and Greg and I have already talked about it....who knows it may happen. That kid should have a better life then he has now.

I hit my mother with the truth that James gave up his custody rights to Anna and really only has visitation so they went to the jail to see him for nothing. That felt good to. See I am not starting anything the time is just right to hit them back where it hurts.

Anyways, I have been working about 50-60 hrs per week. When I come home the last thing I want to do is see another computer. This is why my post have been so spotty....sorry.

I am getting ready to sign up for school and I am so happy about that. I will go for business management. Life is just really good for me now. Anna is doing well in school. She is really catching on to all the lies and how much my mother tries to start things. My dad and stepmom do not agree with the lies but never say anything to mom about it. I don't waste my time with it either. I really don't feel like getting all worked up for nothing over that. Anna knows not to lie to me and she can't...I don't go back to my mother so I don't upset Anna.

I am not to happy that my mother gave Anna a frs radio so she can talk to people through a walkie talkie system. I was pissed...I made Greg explain to Anna why she can not use that and why I do not want her to have access to that type of thing. I don't want to perverts on the radio talking to my baby. We live in a sick world and my neighborhood is safe but not that safe!!!

liar, liar, your pants are on fire......

Ok, Have I mentioned that my family lies, cheats, and steals? Well, they do. The most recent thing that is going on is that my mother thinks that she is so cute and can lie to me and have Anna try to lie to me but it just does not work...the worst part about it is that I could really care less about the whole thing but they make it worse by trying to hide it.

Anna has been spending the weekends with her grandmother. I know that I have said that I hate my mother and all the mean thing I will do to her but......she is Anna's grandmother and she would not do any harm to her so I let things go...I don't have to like her though! Anyways, so Anna is over there and my mom takes her to visit my dad and stepmom and they all act like it is a big secret and they tell her not to tell me.....It is mostly coming from my mom (she is the one telling Anna to lie). Of course, my daughter can't keep something like this from me long before she starts to run her mouth.

I did get some type of justice though. My mom wants to take Anna on a cruise with her and her husband in May. I said that was fine.....no problem. I have to get her passport before they can leave. I made my mom call around to see what I need to do to have this in time. Well, If Anna is going out of the country they need BOTH parents to sign to allow her to go. I told mom....oh, I guess we have to find James. She go all upset about it...said that James is in jail (I already knew that). She said that because we both have custody of Anna that he need to be there or sign something to let Anna go. My mom was going on about how horrible this is and how can they let someone in jail have rights over Anna. I reminded her that she is the one who paid for his lawyer to fight against me to get those "rights" and now she can explain to Anna why there will be no cruise. The best part of the whole thing is that they (my mom and stepmom) have been in contact with the jail to get James to sign the necessary paperwork but they paid all this money for a lawyer to take Anna from me and to have James awarded custody but guess what.....James only have visitation....I have all rights over Anna...they have no clue! I don't need James so sign squat! Anna is ok with the fact that she "may" not go....she will still be in school anyways when they leave. My mom is still trying to get in touch with James and when I mentioned her paying for his lawyer she just changed the subject (she did not know that I knew she paid for his lawyer). She also does not know that the lawyer took the money and dropped James as a client because he could never get in touch with James.

See things really do come back to haunt you and I am there to watch it and laugh at how stupid you really are.
