| Lazy |
[Jun. 26th, 2007|09:45 am] |
I got to visit my mom and my sister Sunday night. It was great. My friend Shafonda (Bunny) and I went up to Cleveland. Well, I dropped Bunny off at her mom's house so we each got to see our mom's. I had a lot of fun. I was very lazy yesterday. I think I will be lazy again today. I might go into the store with Greg. I'm still lying in the bed right now. I love laptops!!! |

| Tournaments |
[Jun. 23rd, 2007|11:38 am] |
Today I am running the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Tournament. This is my second Warhammer tournament to run, but my first Fantasy Tournament. There are two types of Warhammer tournaments, Fantasy (Elves, Dwarfs, Orks, Goblins, etc.) and 40,000 or 40K (futuristic, space marines, aliens, etc.). I kinda like setting up the tournaments and I feel, hmm, bossy, for no other choice of word at this moment. I like running the tournaments, untill I don't know what to do because I don't play the game. Ok, I put on some music now to tune out what is going on in the tournament. Some of these guys get so upset over rules. I mean if they don't go their way or how they thought it should.
On another subject, it's funny how songs make you think of people, times, or activities. I'm listening to Tainted Love right now on the little mp3 player Greg gave me. It's distracting me, I can't type what I'm thinking for listening to the song.
Back to tournaments..... Greg went to Mobile today to be in a Magic tournament that is a pro qualifier tournament. That means if he wins, he will qualify to go to the pro tour. He lost his first round and is about to play his second. He will call me when they get lunch to tell me how it's going and to check on me and the Fantasy tournament. He's so great to me. :)

While I was in the middle of posting yesterday, I realized that I just started talking about our store and didn't tell anyone about it. We have a gaming store. It is not a video game store, but games that are table top games, board games, dice games, card games, miniture games, dice games, and a lot of other games. I love hanging out at the store. It's called The Gamer Sanctuary, but I guess that was in my last post. We have a webpage and a forum that stays busy. There is also a link to a webcam that is set up in the store. Greg and I bought this place last year in March. This is also the place he asked me to marry him (April 26, 2006). :) He really loves running the store, but sometimes he would rather just be able to play. Ok, I just said about as much as I want to I think. Have a great day everyone. |

| Turning into a Gamer |
[Jun. 21st, 2007|06:19 pm] |
I don't know what everyone's idea of a gamer is, but I think I am turning into one. I believe that Greg has influenced me greatly, but not that I wasn't interested before I met him. My game of choice is Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D. I have even started running a game, my first one, for some of my former students. They were my 6th graders and are going to 7th grade next year. I, no, Greg, found this awesome Excell worksheet called "The Only Sheet" and it is wonderful. It does all the math for you. All you have to do is put in your race and class. Then it makes your character and puts it in a neatly typed sheet. This will help my students a lot. I teach in a gifted program, high IQ, and they are very intelligent people, but they don't spend much time practicing their writing. If you don't know what I'm talking about by race and class, I will be more than happy to explain. I am having so much fun with it. I have made my character and another character that is in one of the games that Greg is running. I am currently involved in two games and trying to run my own game.

[Jun. 20th, 2007|03:18 pm] |
I guess the subject kinda says it. I haven't posted in a very very long time. I just haven't had a reason to after my last post. Now I have been reading a friend's journal and have decided it might do me good to post again. First, I should catch up with what has been going on in my life. The most important thing is I've gotten married. I have been with Greg for almost three years and we got married on June 9, 2007. The wedding was so much fun, at least the day of, and the reception was fun, I got to dance in a big pretty dress, and the two day honeymoon was great. We will take our real honeymoon next year to Ireland, England, and Scottland. I got to see my awesome friends who I miss soo much!! You know, after I started typing, I don't feel like I have that much to say. I guess it will take time to bring out more. I should probably ease back into this anyway. Revealing my thoughts and emotions to the world takes a lot. I am kind of interested in seeing who still has me on their freinds list. If you do, just so I can kinda tell who I am sharing all of this with, could you possibly leave me a message? I guess that is kind of a strange request, but since I don't know how to work LJ anymore, it seems the easiest way. I am done for now. I might post again later today after I see how I feel about this. |

One month, two days, it still hurts. I still think about him all the time. People ask, "How are you? Are you ok?" What am I supposed to say? How am I? Day to day, yes, I'm ok. My life is going on. I am functioning and doing ok. I am managing. When someone asks me that question though, I automatically think about Daddy. I automatically think, I should be upset. I should be sad. I should be "mourning" the way everyone expects. I do "mourne." I do get upset every time I think about things I used to do with Daddy or things I want to tell Daddy or things I want to do with Daddy. I get upset everytime I think about death. When I think about someone else loosing someone the way I lost Daddy. I even cried when I watched the episode when Pru died on Charmed becuase it made me think about Daddy. Just the whole idea of it. Having to deal with this at all. And I know I'm going to have to soon. Ok, I'm gettings IMs. I can't vent now, I guess I'll have to vent some other time. I never seem to get a chance to get things out anymore. |

Well, it has been quite a while since I have posted. I"m not sure how to say this. My daddy died last Saturday, January 22, 2005. I have'nt been able to post about it until now. I found out about his death the night I was supposed to be having a birthday party. My birthday was Wednesday. Luckily, his funeral was on Tuesday and I just spent time with my family on Wednesday.
It's amazing how you find out how many people really care about when something sad happens. My line is completely awesome. As many of them that could come up to Shreveport, did come. MY 4, 10, and 11 live just too far away. I didn't expect any of my line to come, but I was so glad they did. Greg said I brightened up when they came.
Greg is absolutely amazing. He drove Amanda and me up there late Saturday night and stayed with me through all of this stuff. He held me every time I needed him and just let me know how much he loved me. I can't imagine going through that without him. My whole family came up too, Momma, Maw, Shirley, Pat, and Ray. Maw's changed her view of Greg too. I'm happy about that.
We are all having a birthday dinner for Austin (cousin's baby '24th'), Paw(25th) and me(26th). I am excited about dumplings. |

| Spoiled |
[Jan. 5th, 2005|09:20 pm] |
I was spoiled last week. I didn't have school, I got to see Greg everyday, and my mom was home for a bit. Now, it's back to normal. Momma is in Montgomery, I can't stay with Greg everynight, and I have school everyday. This weekend is Solar, and that is a good thing. My kids are almost back into their routines.
I just made myself sad by thinking about my fish. Man, you would think I would get over it, but I loved her a lot. She meant so much to me. I feel so dumb now.
I'm going to go to sleep soon.
Oh, Happy New Year everyone. |

| Ski pictures |
[Dec. 30th, 2004|10:51 am] |
I went skiing on my December Birthday (12/26/04) and I got some pictures. I kinda look like a kid in them, but it was so much fun. :)
( Read more... )
Those are the only two I got though. I only fell once and that was because they have you hang on to a rope and I didn't realize how fast it would pull me. I loved it and can't wait to ski again. |

Merry Christmas Everyone!! I surprised my mom with breakfast when she got home. I surprised her so much, she cried. :) Then we went to take a short nap and I couldn't sleep anymore. I've been watching Trading Spaces. They got to spend $50,000 per house. They were awesome!! |

| Things not to do on Christmas Eve |
[Dec. 24th, 2004|04:21 pm] |
1. Go Shopping
2. try to get gas
3. witness someone almost run over a child
4. brave the mall
5. try to find your way around a strange town
6. get upset with traffic
Short list. Those are the things I did this morning. But I didn't really get upset with traffic. It's been a pretty good day so far. I have just sat here this afternoon though. Sonny called me, but I was on roam and I couldn't talk. I tried to call him back but he had left already. Not fun. I'm about to make fudge for Momma's co-workers. |

I got to TN with no problems. Momma is at work and I am sitting here. I am making plans for tomorrow. I think I will go to the mall. I will drive through the mountains too. I think it'll be fun. Ok, well, I'm distracted, I'm done for now. |

I am leaving tomorrow to go with Momma back to TN. This weekend has been nice. I spent Sunday with my family and we had our Christmas. Yesterday I spent the day with Greg and Karrie. Today I am going to spend the day with Maw and then go to Greg's parent's house for another small Christmas. I'm not sure what all I will be doing up at Momma's. I hope not much of anything. I need to relax.
There are some people that I haven't heard from in a long time. I'm thinking of one person specifically right now. The last time we talked I told him I was mad at him and I haven't talked to him since. This makes me really sad, and since he doesn't answer the phone when people call him, I can't say Merry Christmas. If you know who you are, give me a call. I've told like three people to tell you that already.
In other news....my house is a wreck. I am willing to pay someone to clean it and get it organized. I could keep it that way if it was organized for me. OH, but first I have to rip up carpet. And get rid of an iguana. I am just an unorganized person. I'm about to go to my grandmother's. I'll try to post later this week. |

Ok, I have three days of school left until I get out for Christmas. Then I have the Christmas parade Saturday at 10am. My family is doing Christmas on the 19th and I hope to get to take Greg's family their stuff on Saturday evening. Momma will be here on Thursday and I am excited about that. I haven't seen her in a long time. I get to go back with her to TN. Oh, she called this morning and she was playing in the snow. I need to get some nice warm purple gloves. I had a pair, and they are some where in the living room with some of mine, Candy's, and Amanda's things. It was so cold today. I froze. I can't wait to get in my warm bed. Well, except I'm not sleepy. I am rambling now. Have a good night people. :) |

OK, well, my last post told all the dates of Christmas stuff. Now things have changed. My family moved ours back to Sunday which means I don't get to go to Greg's family's party. I want to be able to go to both. I also wish Greg could come to my family's party. It's just not easy when they are on the same day. So many people can't be around for actual Christmas day, so we move the party day. We don't really call ours a party, it's a dinner. Oh well. Everything will be ok. I am going to Daddy's Friday and then next week is another Christmas party, Amanda's graduation, her graduation dinner, Momma coming home, the Christmas parade, and then Christmas dinner on Sunday. Then I leave with Momma to go back to TN until Dec. 30th. Wow, when I put it like that, it seems like so much. It isn't that much really though. And it's all fun stuff. Oh, I have to do our Christmas party too. Shoot. Oops, and Christmas cookies for my students. Man, When am I going to do that??? I guess Thursday night.
Good news- I got Christmas shopping for Greg's family done and I have an idea for my dirty santa gift. Now I just have to figure out when to get it. This time of year is expensive. Ok, I'm tired. Goodnight! |

Ok, this time of year is great. I get to see my family, spend time with them, and just be happy knowing they are all here. The confusing part comes when you try to schedule everything in. Going to my family's, my dad's, school parties, Greg's families' parties, and parades for clubs, which is December 18th at 10am. That's a Saturday and the morning of my family's Christmas party. Then I leave with my mom to go to TN for the rest of my vacation. Hmm, seems busy.
I got to go see National Treasure with Jami and Candy on Friday night. It was great. I loved getting to hang out with them again. The movie was good too. I really liked it. Why do I have to have such severe mood swings?? I can be completely happy one minute, but when I think about something that bothers me or makes me sad, I get way way sad. Then I have trouble getting out of that. Maybe it's just the time of the year. Then again, it could be the whole being a girl thingy. Who knows.
Big, you rock. You always seem to know just what to say to make things ok. I Will find a train and I Will scream. I miss you so much.
I'm about to go to church. Have a great week everyone. |

My boys won their game tonight!!! They are really good. I'm proud of them. I have gotten to the point that I think I have too much going on. I have to organize a parade, fundraisers, service projects, and a formal. Then I have duty, tutoring, and luckily my class is over. Then I have family stuff, Christmas shopping, and projects to come up with. I feel overloaded. |

| Crisis of the week |
[Nov. 30th, 2004|10:28 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  drained | ] |
Well, today was a bad day from the get go. I went to take a shower and the iguana was loose. He was in the hall and I happened to turn the light on and saw him before I walked by. I made him go back in his room and put the towel back so he can't get out. Then I got in the shower and when I got out I saw him staring at me again. He had gotten out again. I tried to make him go back, but he went towards the living room instead. I almost had him back in the plastic tub to take him back to his room when he got away again. I called Maw and she came out to my house at 6:20am to help me catch an iguana. We finally got him back in his room and the door is now barricaded. There should not be any way for him to get out. When I got to school the first thing I heard was that my aunt had called because I paddled my cousin on Monday. I paddled him because he broke the rules and if I didn't, it would be because he was my cousin and I would be showing favoritism. Anyway, she thought it was about something that happened this weekend and now I am the bad guy. Then my classes just were not going well because I was in a bad mood and I couldn't get out of it. Sometimes that happens. I try really hard to get out of it, but it just doesn't work. I made it through the day and then I went to class. We had to turn in our finals and our projects. I lost part of my project. She is giving me til finals to find it, but she is counting it late. I understand that, I just wish she had been a bit more sympathetic. I knew there was nothing she could do, but she was kinda mean about it. But after that, my day got better. I was upset and called Greg. He was about to play racket ball so I went to watch. That was fun, I laughed a lot. They did well, but my baby got hit like twice. Then Amanda bought me hot chocolate and a sweater because I was freezing. She really rocks! We have issues sometimes, like the iguana, but she is really cool. Now I am tired and I am heading to bed. :) |

When someone does something that they don't exactly enjoy because they know it makes you happy.
When you get to spend time with your family and it isn't bad.
When you get to have your old friends and new friends around at the same time.
When you get to go to a movie and not freeze to death.
When you get to eat ice cream on a cold night and still stay warm.
When you find out your boyfriend stole your cell phone and try to steal his just to find out it was yours. ;)
When you spend the evening watching movies with really cool people.
When you get presents from someone that you don't expect them from.
When someone uses their birthday gift to make these presents.
When you get to fall asleep with someone you love very very much.
I just had to point this out to everyone. I had a wonderful day yesterday after 11am :) |
