| Topic: 10 LJ Friends List |
Take a look at your LJ friend list, then list up to ten things you want to say to ten different LJ friends.
Do NOT state who these people are.
DO NOT confirm nor deny any “comment speculation"!!!!!!!!!
1) Somehow we have grown apart over the past year or two, but I still adore you as a friend. We've both had some big changes in our lives, so maybe that's caused it. I hate that because you are one of the few efriends I would love to meet and hang out with in real life!
2) We are so totally different, and sometimes I really just can't stand you, your thought process or your negativity. I don't know why I haven't deleted you yet.
3) I wish you realized and accepted your potential, beauty, worth and all you have to offer. I hate when you down yourself because you are better than that.
4) I wish you would just come hang out with us!!!!!
5) I get so jealous sometimes of you. Then, I read your posts and realize the hurt, heartbreak and other negativity you fight with so often and let go of that jealousy.
6) I wish you would grow up. You are irresponsible, unreliable, and too childish for your age. I hate it because you are so smart and could really go further in life.
7) I wish I had spent more time with you when you were here. Now it seems our friendship exists only through lj. I hate that because I had fun with you and you are the only person I've ever known who had the Vitamin C CD. Oh, and please love you. I do.
8) You are such a rock for your daughter. You have seen her through so much and fought so hard for her cause that it is truly inspiring. It really embodies the joy of Faith. Even though you don't have as much time to post anymore, I love hearing you are happy and she is doing so well.
9) I have watched your talents grow in graphics and design and feel like a mother hen so puffy and proud at times. I may not comment a lot, but know that I think it rocks.
10) I wish I could rock photoshop like you can. I wish I could be more like you. So pretty, happy, talented, helpful. I look at you and feel like I should learn more, try more, do more. May God always bless you.
Are you one of the people I'm referencing?? Which one do you think you are? Comments are screened!

| Topic: YAY! |
So, I found a profile layout I liked. I changed the color to pink (of course) and added a graphic. Wanna see?
Jeanna's User Info.
I am thinking of getting back into making layouts, icons, banners, blinkies, etc. again. I've redone the layout for my profile here and redid the layout on my myspace, too. I'm not very good at the myspace coding and had to use whateverlife. I did the graphic of course.

| Topic: Das Boot |
Remember I fell? Well, lookie here at the latest fashion my orthopedic gave me!
I asked for it in pink. She thought I was kidding. I guess I should have known she was a no nonsense doctor when I saw this adorable note on her wall:
Dear Mom,
Thank you for visiting my class. Thank you for bringing the saw. It was cool.
Love,
(insert random kids name here)
See, I was kinda in shock after the word saw, so the words from there on after were a bit of a blur...She swears it was a cast saw.
I asked Bobby for a bedazzler to pretty it up some. He gave me the same look the doctor gave me when I asked for the boot in pink. Some people. Anyway, if you want to catch on to this latest foot craze, you can click on the picture and get your own.
Aside from that, I have torn ligament(s). Once again, I was still whirling from the saw letter so anything she said sounded just like the teacher from Charlie Brown. Luckily, I have two major prescriptions for Vicodin. Unfortunately, they help as much as candy. Candy anyone???

| Topic: What a weekend! |
Friday, my nieces and nephews (2 boys, 2 girls) came over to spend the night. The wild ones were restless and hungry. After a quick delivery of pizza (so not good for them, but hey, that's what cool aunts are for, right?), we walked down to the park by our library. They played on the swings, played duck duck goose, hide and seek and after I thought they were worn out, we headed back home. Of course, I realize on the way home they are NOT worn out and panicked. Out came the play doh, sidewalk chalk and MY favorite, the bubble maker. I LOVE  the bubble maker. We have the Gazillion Bubble Machine and it is the best I have seen so far. It makes LOTS of bubbles all at once and is awesome. People driving by were just in awe and I can't tell you how many ooohs, aaaaahs and HOW CUTE! we heard. I love it.
Saturday, Bobby broke a hubby rule. He brought home a puppy Darn thing is driving me crazy but adorable as can be. He's black and white and we named him Oreo. His feet remind me of milk with Oreo cookie crumbs in it or a Oreo Blast. The kids LOVE him. He's pretty darn lovable. Darn Bobby.
Sunday, we got the BBQ itch and broke out the grill,  called a few friends and started the blender. Do you like Pina Coladas? I do. I swear, Bobby makes the best ones, hands down. If you are ever in town, stop by and ask me for one. And a peek at the bubble maker. The best combo for a great weekend! Anyways, Bobby and Jerry manned the grill and many hours later, we gave up and put the chicken in the oven. It was delicious! I swear, I rarely like chicken leg quarters, but these guys did a wonderful job. Everyone was full and happy. The best part? We have leftovers! Wooohooo! I can not WAIT until lunchtime.
Have happy Monday!

| Topic: Child’s Death Stalls Rape Case |
Please read this. There is also video at the main source. I was alerted to this recently, and felt the need to share it with everyone. Feel free to repost or send it via emails to help this little girl's memory. Thank you!

Child’s Death Stalls Rape Case
With a big smile and a bright personality, it's hard to believe Rebecca McEvoy could live with such a dark secret.
"It hurt, it hurt me more than anything," said Nina Tucker, remembering the day her 11-year-old sister told her she was being sexually abused by their step-father, who was also a Chickasaw police officer.
"I have so much hatred toward him and that is horrible to say because you're not supposed to hate anybody," said Tucker.
Corporal Bob Ingle was arrested in 2006 and charged with three counts of sexually assaulting Rebecca. He was kicked-off the police force, but now Rebecca's family fears he may never face a judge.
"It's hard for us to sleep at night. We lay in bed and not only have the thought of her but to know what she had to suffer the last couple years of her life," said Theresa Jordan, one of the eleven year old's cousins.
Over and over, Tucker says Rebecca talked about the abuse-- to police and to counselors. The family was preparing for the case to go before a Grand Jury, but in a tragic twist of fate, Rebecca was killed in a car crash two months ago. Now Tucker and Jordan fear the case may not go forward.
"That hurts like crazy," said Tucker sobbing through the interview. "To add on top of all that you have this case that might not be heard because she's no longer here."
Tucker says the family has been told that without Rebecca's testimony a Grand Jury may never hear the case. A judge was scheduled to hear the evidence twice, but both times the hearing has been postponed.
Rebecca's cousin has created an online petition to ask the court to make sure the case is heard on April 2nd.

Thank you,

| Topic: I'm back from the ol' doc |
He said it is sinus infection and bronchitis. Woohoo. He did give me a butt shot that is helping already. I also got some drops for my ears, tussin with codeine for the cough and some antibiotics. I'm getting loaded up!
The downside to getting well is I will no longer sound like Marlon Brando as The Godfather. The upside to this is no longer sound like Marlon Brando as The Godfather. Seriously, it was a bit fun being able to mumble "talk" all kind of things Bobby couldn't comprehend.
Now my boys are sneezing and coughing so I expect them to lay it on thick tonight and both come off as two year olds.
Rented and loved lately:
Dan in Real Life
Assassination of Jesse James
Breach
Gone Baby Gone
3:10 to Yuma
It was SoSo:
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Neverwas
HATED:
Beowulf (it was gross beyond words)
Michael Clayton (could never get into it)
Can you tell we don't have cable or satellite? Plus we joined dvdxpress. It was 99 cents per movie or $12.99 for a month of unlimited. after a month of renting, we've decided to try the monthly option. We've loved it so far. It's also cool because I can check online throughout the day to see what's in and reserve on for that night. 
I'm off to nap now.

| Topic: Sickness |
I did it. I finally broke down and called the doctor. All this coughing is killing my throat and I do NOT want to feel like this on Sunday. My throat hurts. I'm coughing up more crud than I would care to describe. I've had fever off and on.
Appointment time: 10:45am. I wish I could have gotten in today. Oh well, wishful thinking.
Aidan is being a doll. He is putting up with me being a sub-standard mom, hacking, sleeping, etc. Poor kid. Lucky for him, the Easter Bunny is spoiling the crap out of him Sunday. I refuse to feel awful Sunday. Come heck or high water, this is going to be a great, fun filled day.

| Topic: Good Grief |
Why is it that when I finally get the chance to host my first ever holiday dinner, I get sick??!! What in the world is that? Ugh. I fell fine, honestly. But My sinuses are draining and I have laryngitis. I have been downing the drugs and sucking on cough drops the past couple of days. I sound worse today, of course.
Aidan isn't feeling so hot either. He and I have been vegging out in bed. He keeps napping off and on and I keep wishing I would/could nap off and on. Every time my eyelids get a bit droopy, something jolts me back to life. I'm hungry but that requires walking downstairs and that sounds awful to me right now.
Bobby comes homes for lunch everyday. Thank God, we have leftovers for his lunch. I'm too droopy and tired to cook now. That's when you know I'm not up to par.
Our Easter dinner is potluck. Here's what on the list so far:
Ham (Mom and I)
Baby Green Limas (Melissa)
Green Bean Casserole (Kathy)
Corn and Yellow Rice Casserole (Kathy)
Cornbread (me again)
Baked Chicken Legs and Dressing (mom)
Deviled Eggs (me and mom again)
And of course a bunny cake, a chocolate cake, and some brownies.

1. What do you see when you are looking out of the window closest to you?
A huge live oak tree that is in my front yard and part of my neighbor's house. It is a beautiful tree. If you aren't famailar with live oaks, it is definitely worth a google check.
2. Who was the last person coming into your room?
Besides Aidan or Bobby? It would have to be my neighbors Jarrett and Victoria. They are 13 year old twins that live next door and my best friends out here. Laugh, but I love them!
3. What is the most predominant colour around you?
Pink, DUH!!
4. What is right behind you?
My wall. I'm in my bedroom. It's a good wall.
5. What is on today's calendar sheet?
My Dad's birthday! We are going out to dinner tonight for steak at Longhorn Steakhouse. Yummy!

| Topic: Chickasaw |
I am so over the primaries. Just looking at McCain, Obama and Clinton disgusts me now. It really seems like picking the lesser of the evils and I just don't see me picking any of the three. I thought about doing a write in vote but as we all know that makes about an inch of difference. As in an inch of not at all. So, obviously I am a Republican, but I am more than disappointed with the "choice" we had this year, too. Ugh. I am over blogging about it here already and this is barely a paragraph. Pitiful.
Our city is having elections this year. We've had the same mayor for 15 or so years and change is needed. The city has steadily gown downhill and so has the mayor's concern. This city used to have about five grocery stores. It had two big chains fast food places. Now, we have a dollar general, Fred's, Whataburger and a Church's Fried Chicken (YECH!). I have a great slogan for the election, I think. Side note: Our mayor's name is Jim Trout.
GET OUT TROUT!
Cute, yes? I can even see the signs with a fish and an X on it. I know, I have way too much time to think about these things. We have a City Council meeting tonight. I get the feeling they do not like Bobby and I much. It's okay though. We do not like them much either. Except for the one who plans on running against Trout.

Free account sucks.
I'm thinking about buying a paid account for a few months and the 100 user pics. I have way too many icons I want to use.
It's raining and I am beyond bored. I should empty the dishwasher. Note the word should.
Ya know, when someone calls and says they are coming by and doesn't leave a time, perhaps next time I shouldn't plan my whole day around it waiting. Especially when I know they won't come. Is a phone call really too much? /rant
Joke from some men's mag we get
Two cannibals are feasting on some clown when one looks at the other and asks "Does this taste funny to you?"

YAY! America's Next Top Model is back. I love this show. Unfortunately, we don't get the CW, but I just checked out the first episode online. Here are my picks for scoring purposes:
I really like Fatima and Kimberly. And Stacy-Ann. I think the three I picked might get more points though. Pitiful life, I know.

| Topic: 10 Things I've Done You Probably Haven't |
So, I am having a few problems updating because I lack the exciting events to blog about. Or maybe I lack the words to write them. Who knows. So, I looked around the net and found a Wednesday meme to kick start my journal today.
1. Redone a historical home from a shredded mess into a home fitting for its historical marker
2. Had a haunted house built for my birthday party
3. Been a Junior Miss contestant
4. Won a Presidential award for my community service (mine was from Bill Clinton, and yes I do accept, understand and agree with those who say aww, I'm sorry, poor you (lol)
5. I was proposed to with a black pearl engagement ring rather than a diamond
6. Spoken to dead people and had them speak back (I'm a weirdo, I know);it was my great-grandmother. It started when I was 3 and lasted until I was about 5. When she told me she had passed, I was truly devastated that nobody told me she was dead.
7. I've been to London, England and Paris, France. I've seen Monet's gardens and home, the Eiffel Tower, Versailles, London Bridge, Big Ben, etc. I saw the Mona Lisa surrounded by a sea of Asian tourists. I had to literally jump to see her properly. I wasn't so impressed with her. But I did see a wax figure concert of the Beatles. I didn't throw my panties. It was cool but creepy.
8. I spoke on the phone with Joey McIntyre and En Vogue. Not at the same time. That would have been weirder. Joey was drunk, snotty and annoying. He really should call me again and try again. SWV was FABULOUS! Even better, they thought I was FAB, too! Or that maybe my ego talking. I met Sister Hazel. I love them.
9. I turned down hanging out with Prince to co-host a birthday bash (for me)/Halloween bash at another club. I swear I ad more fun than anyone at the Prince bash. Trust me, I have sworn affidavits on that.
10. I have seen first hand the emotional destruction of Mother Nature. My parents lost their home to Hurricane Katrina. Many of our family mementos were lost in the flood. That's enough on that. It makes me want to cry just remembering it.
Let me not forget the best. I've had the honor of being the wife to Bobby, the mother to Aidan, best friend to Kara, Amanda, Chris, Elizabeth, Insha, Maegan, member of a great family, aunt to Janice, Cori, Christopher, Christian, Mason, Taylor, and Ibby.

| Topic: Here I am |
Okay, so most of my recent blogs have been totally private. Don't worry, you missed nothing, lol. Boring stuff really. I am going to open this blog and myself back up. I need this place again. I got bored for a bit. Mostly, I got busy with the move into the new house. I have pictures to show off!!! We are still working on things, but I will show you bits anyways. I've missed quite a bit of you so much.
I am also thinking of a friends cut soon. Just a heads up really. I am even thinking of redoing the layout finally. About time, eh? Problem is that I love this one so darn much. Now, to decide paid layout or free one?? Hmmmm...
Like my swinging valentine girlie? I got her from potof_gold

| Topic: Parmesan Hamburgers/Italian Chicken and Potatoes |
I love to cook. Honestly, if I never went back to a job outside the home, I would be happy just raising babies, keeping house, volunteering and most of all...cooking! Cooking is one of those things I've truly been able to focus on and become much better at. I study recipes and figure out how to make them better. Well, at least so that I and Bobby will like them more, lol. Tonight's recipe: Chicken Fettucine Alfredo. I haven't made this before without using a premade sauce, so this should be fun! If it comes out worthy, I will post the recipe I use for you. 
Grilling season is upon us, so what better than a hamburger recipe? These were so darn good! We really loved having something other than an ordinary hamburger.
( Parmesan Hamburgers )
Ready for another yummy meal? Let's go!
( Italian Chicken and Potates )
 We are getting a POOL THIS WEEKEND!!!!! WOOOHOOO!! We are all so excited. Everyday this week, Aidan says good-bye to his Daddy and asks, You going to get my pool, Daddy? Every evening, he greets Bobby with a "where's my pool, Daddy? I can't find it! You lost it??!" He has also informed us that when he gets his pool he is inviting "people" over. Yeah. I asked who these people are and he say, uh People, Momma. Silly, me.
Aidan's getting better on the potty, thank, God!  He is standing up and although he still has some pee pee accidents, it is getting better. I found this and laughed so hard. I am sure my poor baby will have to experience this at least once in his life. Poor boys.

We spent the day in the E.R. They say nothing is broken and want me to see an orthopedic to check everything else out. Meanwhile, I am in sheer pain. Constant Loritabs aren't doing much. I HATE CRUTCHES!!!!! I can't even believe this is happening. I hate the fact that I, who HATES to cry in front of people, have been doing so all day.
