moved...

Well I`m moved in so to speak.. I like the house, it`s cool.. kind of beachy-cabin! Hmm.... honestly I think i`m having second thoughts and really wanna bawl my eyes out. I don`t know why. Maybe it`s the new town, new people .. grrrrrrrrr... this is probably, a temporary feeling of negativity..but i`ve had some bad luck. I was late getting the UHAUL returned, cos i didn`t have anyone to follow me back to take it, My sister decided to show up, I arrived at the UHAUL place at 5:01.. the whole thing cost me like 250 bucks. I`m NOT happy!!!! now I`m off to move furniture around, cos my sister needs to move her stuff in........i`ve basically have unloaded the truck myself, and moved all the stuff in myself.............ok so i`m havin` a bitchy moment.

Global Warming

I watched the former VP Al Gore on Oprah on Tuesday discuss "Global Warming" It was quite interesting and VERY alarming. I believe you can read up on this at www.algore.com Polar Bears are drowning daily due to the ice melting in the Arctic. (they have no where to go) very sad.. not only that, In Alaska, towns are actually floating away. The Global warming has affected the earth at a rapid speed. Just check it out.. It opened my eyes. He also listed simple things we can do, that will make big changes. Something to really think about.

i flew to houston in october to buy my beetle, i must say, smartest thing this chick`s done in a while. excellent on gas! (a lil` hard to haul furniture now) but it`s so awesome. loaded, sunroof, mp3 player. my bf doesn`t like it...heehee.. well he`s not the one that has to drive it eh? i have fun driving it. i don`t miss the super trooper..i may have a buyer for that. i have always wanted one, and now i don`t think i`ll ever drive anything else!

i happened to open up the book we read every christmas and remembered what my mom wrote to me in 1977. so sweet."what you are is god`s gift to you,what you make of yourself is your gift to god"

Time sure flies...

When she was little we called her "punky"

My neice Hayley is now 20 and off at college. She is the light of my life. She really means alot to me, I`m very proud of her. She will transfer to Sam Houston next fall. Go Hayleybug!

me just blabbing...

I really need to cut out the cokes!!! I know how unhealthy they must be. ahhh but they taste SO good. I know.. I know.. I need to stop. I`m such an overindulger. It`s after midnight and it`s pretty quiet around here. Things are packed and soon I will be moving to my lil` cabin. It really looks like a beach house. I`m excited somewhat, but also nervous due to having finals this coming week. I get overwhelmed sometimes. Jackie my sister called this evening, she had been out to the movies. I stayed in to work on a collage and pack some more things. (avoiding the opening of my books and review sheets)I wonder how us two are going to like living with each other. Yeh she`s my sister, but as an earlier post stated we are like oil and water... Hard headed as the other one. Oh I know this will be fun. Financially it`s for the best. I see such potential in the lil` cabin, new wood floors, tiny cottage like windows... free cable.. yay! yeh the potential is there! My bf is not to happy about the move.. but... until "we" are ready for that next step, this will work. I`m like so into skin care right now, I went "EBAY" crazy and bid on PHILOSOPHY products. I love it! I can see some differences... I have a small tree i created here in the apartment, vintage style, lotsa glitter...well.. i decided at "the cabin" I will cut a fresh tree, and I have these HUGE glitter letters that spell out "wish" and i`ll use those on the tree.. and white lights. I may place it in an old white urn I have. I actually will have a yard again, so I can`t wait to put out my modern metal looking topiary forms. We are close to the water, so that`s cool (the lake) ... The funny thing is, this cabin has 2 bedrooms.. BUT the one in the back is awesome!!!! I bet we will have to flip a coin.lol

the holidays are approaching, it always brings back memories of my Dad. His birthday was November 20th, he passed away November 25th 1997. So the month of November can be difficult. I have tons of wonderful memories of him to get me through the tough times. He was the kindest, most sweetest man i`ve ever known. His smile could make my day. What an honor to have had him in my life for twenty six years. I never feel alone. I can look in the mirror and see his smile, because I have the same one.

now then

MY SISTER IS SO FUNNY IN THIS PICTURE, IT LOOKS SO VINTAGE, THE COLORING AND ALL.. SHE WOULD KILL ME REFERRING TO HER PIC AS "VINTAGE". Are those the same specs???? You have to understand our relationship, we are like oil & water. We can have a cat fight, and all at the same time kick some butt if someone is mistreating either sister.. We are seven years apart, guess that`s why. She was married when I was a teen ager, so our lives didn`t really coincide at all. She can be moody, hilarious, prissy, elegant and beautiful all at once. She didn`t get dirty when she was little..She was like a lil` adult.(so my Mom said) I was making mud pies, drawing, coloring, playing barbies(mostly decorating their enviroments) and playing with my dog. Running naked around the house(i`m so modest now) Somehow Jackie and I get along. We shared the same parents, same experiences in the family. We had a great childhood. Losing our Dad brought us closer, a loss we both shared. We understand each other without saying a word. She has the bluest eyes, like WINDEX.. alot like my Dad`s. I have his hands.. the same... We both loved him so much!

i love making collages!

Halloween `06

This is my niece Hayley(Strawberry Shortcake) and her roommate Carley(Rainbow Bright)enjoying Halloween!

My Hero

My Dad raced when we were young, one of his many passions. I miss him so much!

He was the coolest Dad ever. He passed away in 1997.

My Mom is special to me, she suffers from a Mental Disorder known as Bipolar Disorder. I`ve never really opened up about this, but I`m proud of her. She is where I get all my creativity from. I`m currently majoring in Mental Health & Psychology in college, and have found it all interesting. I guess having a personal issue such as this in my immediate family really makes me want my degree even more.

i just love this pic of my Mom, i believe it was early 60`s, she owned her own beauty shop in East Texas.

I`m ready for the holidays.. I love the old ornaments, and lots and lots of glitter!
