My creative side has arrived!

OK.  So today I started working on some more braclets.  I am way too proud of them.  I kind of don't want to sell them cause I am so proud of them...lol.  But I will sell them anyways.  I promise I will get some pics of them on here soon so if any of yall want to buy them yall can.  I'll put the prices on there and everything.  All you have to do is tell me that you want it.  I customize somethings, but it really just depends on what it is cause if have the material to make it I will, but if I don't then it really just depends.  Anyways, as usual I went to Wally World again.  I swear I can't stay away from there.  I can't wait until they finish remodeling and we have a new Supercenter.  Today, I just layed around the house mostly.  Just did this and that stuff.  Tomorrow my brother is leaving for a new job.  I think he is going up north somewhere.  I really couldn't tell you the exact place.  He is going to be moving around a lot with his job.  It should be a good experience for him.  He will get to travel a bit and just get out on his own.  It will be good for him.  Well, I guess I am done.  I'll talk with yall later!

Beads, Beads, and more Beads

Today was a good day.  Although my hormones from yesterday are still acting up today, I think I have a better handle on them today.  Kent just left for work about an hour ago, so I got on here to check out some prices on sterling silver beads.  As many of you know, I make bracelets and other accessories(sp?) in my spare time for some extra cash for Christmas.  I have an order that I have to fill and I ran out of beads.  Anyways, I am also excited to hear that a beauty salon wants to sell my cancer awareness bracelets in its shop.  I am hoping to make more this year than I did last year.  I want to be able to spend a little more this year on Kent and my family then I did last year.  I will try and get some pictures up soon of some of the bracelets I make and if yall want one or some then yall can just email me and let me know!  Anyways, I am fixing to get off this thing and run to the ATM, Wal-Mart and my parents house.  I hope everyone is having a great day!  I'll talk with yall later!

Autumn has arrived!

So today Kent and I went to church again at Antioch.  Which once again was a great experience.  I really enjoy going there and I looked forward to going each week.

Have you ever had one of those days that you just wish you could sleep through?  Well, today is that day for me.  One second I am happy the next I am ill, the next I want to cry and then the next I am happy again.  My hormones I guess, are still out of wack since having miscarried my last pregnancy.  It's the strangest thing.  I mean there have been times before that my hormones were out of wack, but nothing to this measure!  I'm hoping that things level out soon.  I don't know how much more of this I can take and I really don't know how much more Kent can take.  It will eventually be alright...it's just getting there that is not all that fun.  Well, once again I guess I'll talk with yall later!

PS: Two things to be happy about: 1)Autumn has finally arrived.  It's so cool and breezey(sp?) outside and 2)The race is over and all the fans are LEAVING, YAY YAY!!!

I dunno what to call this entry

Today was a boring, boring day.  I got up and watched some TV, went to my parents house to tan and ate some pizza while I was there.  I came home and me and the hubby went to Burger King to get something to eat, and then came home and ate it.  After that we went to Wally World to get some stuff and walked around there for awhile.  Then went back to my parent's house cause...well I really don't know why.  We just did.  Well, after that we came home and here I sit just doing nothing.  We are fixing to go to bed so we can get up tomorrow and go to church.  Well, like I said today wasn't all that exciting.  So maybe tomorrow will be better!  I'll talk with yall later!

American Eagle is on my last nerve!

OK.  I went to American Eagle in the mall and was looking for this really cute jacket that they have on their website.  Well, they didn't have it.  So I was like OK I'll just order it off the internet.  So then I find these cute pants that would go so cute with a ton of different shirts.  So I go up to this girl and was like do you have this in my size.  She was like no the ones that are out are the only ones we have.  And she said it all rude and like she didn't have time to talk to a customer!  I was like oh no she didn't.  So I am so upset with AE right now.  I mean what do they have?  All the other clothes in there were for like the dead of winter.  Anyways, to make my day better I scanned some pics and now am sharing them with you.  Tell me what you think!  I'll talk with yall later!

Whew, I'm tired!!!

First of all I just want to say this.....WHEW!  I am tired.  But it's a good tired.  A tired that I've earned.  You know what I mean?  You're tired but it's a good tired cause you have worked for it and even though you are tired you feel good.  I don't know maybe it's just me!  Let me tell yall what I've done.  I worked out for an hour, I cleaned my parent's house(that's my job...I'm a SAHW but I clean my parent's house too), I cleaned my house, I took out the trash, and I am fixing to iron my hubby's clothes for tomorrow and fix his lunch.  Right now I am enjoying a turkey sandwhich and some water.  Later I have to make supper and run over a jewlery order to my moma's.  I also need to take a shower.  I guess I'll eventually find time for that.  Oh, the NASCAR race is here this weekend.  I like the races but it gets so crowded aroud here(Talladega).  One of the roads that leads right to the track is the road I live on.  So the traffic has been busy infront of my house.  I guess I'll get over it...I mean I don't mind it as much as I make out like I do.  It's sorta fun watching all these campers come in.  Anyways, about last night's FRIENDS show.  It was great.  I can't wait to see what Ross says about Rachel and Joey kissing.  Ummm is Thursday here yet?  LOL.  Well, I guess I will go and finish my sandwhich.  I should have some more pics later.  Once I get the motivation to scan some more.  I'll talk with yall later!

"Friends" final season

I don't know about yall but I am really sad that Friends is going off after this season.  It's sad, because I have watched (more in the past 2 years then before) almost all the shows and really have come to think of them as MY friends.  I am excited though to see what all happens.  Who ends up with who and who gets married, who has a baby, and all that other stuff.  Anyways, it comes on tonight at 7 pm central time and I can't wait.  Maybe after it goes off I'll come back and let yall know what I thought about it.  Like yall really care what I thought about it...lol...it's my journal so I'll do what I want.  Anyways, I'll talk with yall later!

Finally

I finally got my scanner and now I am just scanning my little heart away.  These pictures are from my wedding and from just this and that.  I hope yall enjoy them and please leave comments to let me know what you thought!  I'll talk with yall later!

Happy Fall Everyone!

Well, my day today was very unexciting.  I woke up at about 11 and since Kent was off today we just layed around.  I exercised and Kent watched.  I mainly just got on and off the internet all day and played SimsThemePark on the computer.  We cooked steaks for supper and then went to my parents house.  I tanned while I was there and we watched BB4 (Big Brother 4).  Jun won the game.  I was glad she won it over Alison.  I really didn't want either to win but if I had to choose then Jun would have had my vote.  After going to see my parents, Kent and I went to Wal-Mart (I swear we live there) to see if we could find a scanner.  And while we were there we ran into so many people we knew...and there I was all oily from tanning and my hair was a mess.  It seems whenever I go to Wal-Mart looking my worst I see everyone.  But I could go all dolled up and not see one person I know!  Anyways...back to my story.  We didn't find a scanner and that is why I have frustrated as my mood.  I really want to get one so I can scan some pictures and get them posted so yall will know a little more about us.  Kent and I are going to go to Anniston tomorrow and see if we can find one there.  Hopefully, we will be able to.  Then I will finally be able to get some pics on here!  Anyway, now I am just sitting here talking to yall and eating some chocolate cream pie...yummm.  Well, I guess I will get back to eating.  I'll talk with yall later!

 

PS:  I know that Fall actually started yesterday, but I forgot and that is why I am wishing everyone a happy fall today.  So HAPPY FALL!

This and That

Today was one of those days that you just do nothing.  I woke up at 9:30 am and just layed in bed drifting off and on until about 11:30.  I hate doing that though.  I rather just get up early and get my day started, because when I sleep late I feel like my whole day is wasted.  Anyways, when I finally did get up I had one of those headaches that you get when you sleep way too long.  I had it most of the day.  All I did do today was straighten up my house and lay around waiting for Kent to come home from work.  Once he got home we went to my parents house and I tanned.  We came home and took showers and then went and ate Mexican.  It was pretty good.  After eating we went to Wal-Mart.  Now we are home and fixing to watch The Joe Schmo Show whenever it comes on.  After that I really don't know what we are going to do....So my day today was very uneventful.  Maybe tomorrow will be better.  I'll talk with yall later!

Preachers are people too!

Well, to update yall on the visit with Antioch's pastor:  IT WAS GREAT!  He came with his wife to see us and it was really a great visit.  He answered our questions and really showed us a lot about the church.  He told us many areas in the church that Kent and I could be a part of and how we would fit right in.  I am way too excited right now.  It's just the first time in a long time that I really can see us belonging somewhere.  But not just yet.  We are still going to visit for a little while and get a good feel of the place to see what his preaching is like.  But so far so good.  Kent and I are both just so impressed with everything about it.  Not this Sunday but the next Lesli and Jared are probably going to go with us.  I'm really excited about that.  I'm hoping that Lesli and I can "rekindle" what we used to have.  Hopefully, we will become best friends again (yes I know its a high school term but still...just hush!).  Anyways, just thought I would update yall on what happened.  I'll talk with yall later!

When it rains, its POURS!

Well, it has finally started to rain here.  Thank goodness!  We have gone so long without rain and now it hasn't stopped since last night.  But I am not complaining.  We certainly needed it.  The water department finally came to fix that service pipe that is under my road.  And of course, they used my driveway as a parking lot.  I came home from buying groceries and they had my whole driveway blocked.  I had to drive through my yard just to get to my front door to unload the groceries.  I'm not mad, in fact, it's rather funny to me.  Plus, I had something to look at all day as I cleaned my house and washed clothes.  They are still out there right now.  They have been at it for about 5 hours.  The road is a mess and so is some of the ditch that is infront of my house.  For about an hour there was water going everywhere.  It was just gushing everywhere.  I was like man I'm glad I ain't got to pay for all of that.  But I guess with the taxes and the water bill I get anyway...I'm sure I am paying for it.  And that brings me to my next question?  How many men does it take to dig a hole?  Apparently 9 and one CAT backho!  HaHa!  Tonight is when Antioch's pastor is coming to see us.  I am really looking forward to it.  I'll let yall know what happens later!  I need to get into the shower!  Bye!

Scene 1 Take 2

Many of you already know, but last month I had a miscarriage.  I was 13 weeks along but had actually lost the baby at 8 weeks.  We were crushed.  I ended up having to have a D&C which for those of you who have been through those know they are totally no fun.  Anyways, Kent and I are now back in business.  It has been a moth (almost) since surgery and although we are taking it slow, we are beginning to start the process all over again.  I am taking my vitamins and trying to stay healthy and in shape as well as Kent.  I know many of you are like...wow that is soon, but we are totally leaving it in the hands of God where it needs to be.  He knows when the time is right and we won't get pregnant a day sooner.  Anyways, I just thought I would share my thoughts and all that good stuff.  So I'll talk to yall later!

Great day!

Well, today was a pretty good day.  Since Kent had to work, my parents and I decided to go visit Anitoch a church in Oxford.  It was great!  Kent and I have left the church that we were attending about 3 months ago and have been looking for a church ever since.  I think that Antioch just might be that church.  Kent and I went last week for the night service and we were real impressed then.  So that's why I wanted to go for the morning service so I could see what it was like as well.  Like I said, it was great!  I'm really looking forward to going again with Kent.  I really want him to see what it's like during the morning service.  Antioch's preacher is coming to visit us tomorrow night so we can get to know him and ask him some questions.  So I'll let yall know what all happened there.  After church my parents and I went to the mall to eat and shop a little bit.  When I got home I was so tired.  I crashed in the bed and went to sleep until Kent came home and woke me up.  Since then we ordered a pizza and then have just sat around.  Anyways, I will talk with yall later!  Oh, I hope to have some pictures real soon so yall can see who I am and who Kent is.  Talk with yall later!

My exciting life

Well, today was just one of those do nothing kinda days.  Too bad I didn't take advantage of it.  I got up this morning at an early 10 o'clock and had my quiet time and then I cleaned my house.  I laid out some hamburger meat and decided to work out.  That was loads of fun.  But I did feel very energized when I was done.  After working out for about 45 mins. I decided to go to my parents house and tan.  When I got there...no one was there.  So naturally, I called them on their cell. (are you having fun yet?)  Anyways, they were in B'ham.  So I got online and checked my email and looked at a few of my favorite sites...ok, ok, ok....I check my jouranl to see if anyone had visited and to see if anyone left a message.  Alas, no one did.  Anyways, by this time my parents were home and I talked with them for a little bit and then tanned.  After tanning, I went and sat down and talked with my folks for awhile.  Then I went home.  To which I immediately took a shower and made supper for my hubby.  Then after that we went outside and found a water leak.  Great.  So then Kent called Pops (his grandfather) and he came over and checked...thank goodness it wasn't any of us leaking...so then he went in to call the water department.  They'll be here sometime between 5:00 pm and the next decade.  After that we went to Wal-Mart.  Kent had to get some shaving cream and socks and I needed some undies.  After the mission to Wal-Mart we came home and I am finally taking advantage of my nothing to do kinda of day! I'm going now to play SimsThemePark...only the best PC game ever!  Talk with yall later!

Once again just writing

I just found out that some friends of my family were killed today in a car crash.  I am in complete shock.  I mean I honestly can't believe what I just heard.  It makes all my problems and complaints seem so small and pointless.  I mean atleast I have my family and my health.  God has blessed me with good health and great loved ones.  It's an eye opener because it makes your realize that life is short and can be taken away at anytime.  You should cherish the time you do have with your family and friends.  Wow...I'm still just in shock!  I will talk with yall later!

My day today

Well, nothing new as really happened to me today.  I went to my parent's house today to clean and straighten up their stuff.  That's my job now...cleaning my parent's house.  I personally think I do a good job...no one has really said that I don't do a good job, I was just giving myself a pat on the back.  Anyways, after cleaning I was going to tan, but decided not to.  I just feel lazy today.  I came home with the idea in mind to work out...well I am still sitting here and no working out has happened!  I was going to clean my house but as I look around...I've decided it doesn't really need it!  Kent and I are going to start trying to conceive earlier than what our ex-doctor told us.  We figure that God knows what is best for us and we are going to let Him take care of it.  God will know when my body is able to take care of a baby in the womb and when that happens then so be it.  Plus, we ran into some problems with the whole...how should I say this...the whole trying to play it safe department.  Anyways, when it happens it happens.  I'm hoping the next go around we have a little girl.  Not really sure why I want a girl, I just do.  I guess its the whole I want to name her Zoey.  I love that name!  Anyways, enough talking.  I need to go and work out...woohoo!  Talk with yall later!

Just me writing

Hey everyone!  I know that there are only a few of yall who are actually reading my stuff...but thanks!  Kent and I went to the doctor yesterday for my check up after having my D&C.  It was to say the least a very uneventful visit.  My doctor was no help at all to us and when we asked questions he treated us like little kids who knew nothing.  I was holding back tears as we sat there.  We wanted to know the sex of the baby and we were told that we could know it at the stage that we lost the baby at.  According to our doctor he couldn't tell.  Then we wanted to know what went wrong.  Once again, no answers.  He did tell us that we can start trying to conceive in a month or so.  He wanted to make sure my body had healed properly.  And speaking of that, how would he know if it was healing properly?  He didn't even examine me.  Needless to say, we are looking for a new doctor.  I am hoping our next choice is a better one!  I am hopeful though, I know that in good time, we will be blessed with another chance and another baby.  Hopefully it will happen soon!  I will keep yall updated!
