ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

"Its my birthday and Ill cry if I want to, cry if I want to...."



hehe just kidding darling...I wont cry..but I think my mom will..her little girl is now 21!!!YAY..

were going out to Olive Garden tonight and I get to actually order wine MYSELF..YAY!!!!Wo0o0oHo0o0o....this is a much needed ''spoiling day'..it has been really crazy lately around here and Im glad I can put those things aside for one day and (as selfish as it sounds) concentrate on me, and not feel bad... :D so I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day today..::kiss::

Break ups, and new beginnings..

Hello darling..it has been to long, and I am terribly sorry for that..
::grabs tea:: would you like some, its a very special kinda tea..almost magical..(flower tea)

so I feel I must give an explanation for my sudden and unexpected leave...and greatly apologize for it..for when I am 'down in the dumps'...'singing those blues'..I tend to become quite a recluse,...again..Im terribly sorry..

well the reason for singing Ella Fitzgerald "Black Coffee" (blues soul music) for awhile...was the fact that 2 lives that were so entwined upon another, suddenly was unraveling at the seams..and it became beyond repair...so many memories were torn from another, so many words spoken..so many facts became apparent, and you find a new "person" emerges from the one you thought you truly knew..and it is not good

So the two decided to split ways...part with dreams, and on a new adventure to define ourselves as individuals again..

BUT..I am that type of person to find the best in every situation, no matter how bad it may seem..

so do not worry, good things have come from this bad experience (I'm not talking about the relationship, just the after math of everything)...I have pulled myself together after many fights, and have found the strength to move out of that comfort zone, and move on with life....

It is too soon to tell you everything I dream off, and the great things that are soon to come..but I will keep you posted..

(hehehe...oh my, mr. and ms. penguin)

~random fact~ did you know that a penguin will find a mate, and stay together forever??

so thank you for all the understanding, and email sent asking if im alive and well..truly, it is so sweet of you..thank you..

blah...blah blah blah..blah..

Have you ever had those times when you have no creative spirit and your stuck in a funk?? well thats how I've been..and I cant stand it..I even decided to try and cheer myself up by releasing balloons in to the air..and wouldnt you know, it went to the only tree around and wrapped around those branches for dear life...

(image found on google)

so that seemed like a bust..haha and now Im in my room, wondering what can I do to get out of this funk?? my oh my..what should I do?? what do you do when you have this awful feeling?? I should go to the dollar store, get a HUGE tub of bubbles and blow my little lungs out with bubbles....but its 20something degrees outside...and then I want to go to the antique store and buy a beautiful vintage decor or surround myself in wonderful antiques that have great stories to tell..

(thinking that will cheer me up)..but I dont know...uughh..Im so sorry for complaining so much..I just thought, maybe just maybe if I vent all this pent up boredom and non creativeness..then ::fingers crossed:: a wonderful idea will come across....so will you please help me and throw me some ideas....I would greatly appreciate it..haha

~WONDERFUL GIFTS~ YAY!!

Hey darlings...I must tell you quickly (Im wrapping gifts) about my WONDERFUL surprise..yyeeiippii...hehe so this morning I wake up and Im rushing to get ready so I can do last minute shopping for christmas (me and my immediate family are celebrating "our" christmas on sunday evening and then wednesday were celebrating with our HUGE family)..so I had to get my brothers gift and my dads gift..so Im rushing around like a mad women, so I could leave early for the mall, and hoping that I could avoid all the crazy crowds..well somewhere along the way, time slipped away from me, and I soon find that its 1pm..well now Im really rushing around..(side note: my BIGGEST pet peeve is being rushed) so Im starting to get really aggravated..well all of a sudden I hear the mail man, so I run to the door and grab the mail, wish him a wonderful day and then while shifting through bills and ads I came upon a WONDERFUL package, just the cutest thing ever... A PACKAGE from the wonderful Mrs. Vanessa..

so I hurriedly opened it..I mean c'mon..what a cute package, I knew what was coming..I was sooo excited..;p
AHHH..could it be?? Could it really be??YYYAAAYYY!!!! it is..so I hurriedly and excitedly opened it..(I felt like a kid on Christmas day..hehe)YIPPEE!!!!!! Its the magical ring I received from the drawing on Vanessa's blog, you can check it out..!!! she picked 3 names out, and the winners received either a doll house (very cute)..the second name drawn was, Miss Crumpet Dilly Spoonface (such a doll)..and the 3rd name drawn (ME!!!) received a ring..but not just any ring..a MAGICAL RING!! and not to mention the wonderful cards I received with it..take a look::Look how wonderful they are..I love it..oh my..Im in complete awe, because of the wonderful gift..thank you sooooo very much ms Vanessa..you are truly a wonderful friend!!!

Christmas weather..in louisiana?? WHAT??

Hello darling, so let me tell you about the unusual things going on in Louisiana..so as everyone may know, last week some winter weather decided to grace the south..well Im used to hearing Texas and the top of Louisiana (Shreveport*) getting snow, but in no way was I expecting Baton Rouge to get snowy weather..that was unbelievable..and not only did we get snow, we received 8inches of that wonderful white stuff..YAY...

(trevon, hes our neighbor kid..making a snow angle, do you see how much snow that is??)

(this is in the back woods..spooky looking..I love it.)

(This is the street in our neighborhood..you couldn't even see it..)

(UH OH...watch out..I made a snowball..hehe)

(and this is my Favorite picture..it reminds me of Gotham City from batman)

But we were so happy..me and my parents were having snowball fights with the neighbors..haha and making snow angles..and then we decided to pullout a yard stick to measure the snow in my neighbors backyard, she doesn't have any trees in the backyard, so alot of snow was back there..and we measured up to 8inches of snowy bliss..how insane is that?? I love it..ohh and you wanna know the best part..my wonderful friend Collin was buried on Tuesday (when it was snowing..) so in my opinion (also to make myself feel better) I imagined that he brought the snow to us, kinda like saying hes ok..(yeah, Corny I know..but its comforting)..haha well I hope everyone has a wonderful time..Im going to do one more post before I leave (Im going to Disney world for Christmas with my family and my hunny..its going to be so much fun) and then Ill post pics from Disney..;p YAY!!!

au revoir darling..

Grief around the holidays..

Last night I was studying for finals, and getting so aggravated..when I got a call from Megan (my friend)..well I let it ring because I really had to study hard for this final..my phone alerted me to a message, so I listened and was in shock..she said "Hey girl, I know you were friends with Colin Campbell, so I figured you would know when his funeral is..so call me and tell me.."..I just starting sobbing uncontrolablly..and memories flooded my mind..
I started remembering how me and Colin would sit in gym class (he was a good friend of mine in high school) and we would have life talks, and pointless talks..he would make me laugh soo much..he was honestly (and Im not just saying this) the greatest friend anyone could ask for..
well I finally called Megan back (after calming down) and found out what happend..apparenly he was going down the road and drifted over the middle line into the opposite lane and hit a Big truck head on..the other people are all fine, no injuries, but Colin was in critical condition and died on Sunday December 7...I know how much I miss him, and how much it honestly hurts to think that he is gone and never coming back...but I also keep thinking how hes parents and sisters have to feel..not only do they have to get over this shock, but it also happend around christmas time, which does not make this any easier..
well today I found out a little bit more about my dear sweet friend..not only was he the sweetest person while alive, but he is saving 4 peoples lives (while in heaven)..here is the story I found about him that proves my dear Colin Campbell is an angle:

Colin Michael Campbell
A resident of Denham Springs, Colin Michael Campbell, 20, passed away Sunday, Dec. 7, 2008, due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Through this he was able to save the lives of four people immediately with the donation of his organs. Though he was with us for only a short time, he will live on in our hearts and now in the lives of others for his love and generosity. Colin worked in flooring, but his true passion and work was as a musician/drummer with his band "Who By Fire," which recently recorded their first CD with Colin as drummer. He was also a talented writer of poetry and a lover of all animals. His care and love for all will be missed dearly. A memorial service will be held at Grace Believers Bible Church, 11020 Stanley Aubin Lane, on Thursday, Dec. 11, at 1 p.m., officiated by the Rev. Mark Rumfello. He is survived by his parents, Steve and Debra Campbell; two sisters who loved and adored him, Allison Allecia and Melissa Hope Campbell; two uncles, Jerry Wayne Campbell and Randy Cassady; aunt, Christine Marie Campbell Phillips; and many beloved cousins and friends. Preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Verl Calvin Cassady and Helen Ruth Cassady; paternal grandparents, Allie Harold Campbell Jr. and Jessie Christine Campbell; uncle, Ronald H. Campbell; and aunt, Terri Lynn Ewing. Arrangements by Seale Funeral Service Inc., Denham Springs.

Colin, you will be missed very much, and you were loved by many..R.I.P Collin

~HAPPY THANKSGIVING~

Happy Thanksgiving everyone..Hello darling, I hope you felled your tummy full today on turkey and other wonderful foods..I just got back home from my grandparents house (2 hours away from us, and out in the middle of the country)..it was a very nice thanksgiving lunch..but VERY different feel to it, because I have a large family (5uncles with at least 2-3 kids each)..so our holidays are always crazy and loud..with some very unusual but awesome people..:)

do you have unusual family?? Mine is very loud and festive..haha I love it though, I wouldn't want it any other way..

But so this holiday was very strange to me, because EVERYONE decided to visit there in-laws (which is only fair because everybody meets up with our family EVERY holiday) so were at my grandparents with only 5 people..but again, very lovely lunch..

hehe..sexy huh?? (I found this on google, and it made me laugh)

but we had a LARGE turkey, and green beans, and stuffing, and all the usual turkey day foods..but the one thing I LOVE LOVE LOVE that my grandmother makes, is sweet potato pie..YUUMMYY!!! it honestly is the highlight of holidays for me..haha

Is there a favorite food that you make/or have for the holidays?? I would love to get ideas on what to cook for thanksgiving..:)

so what are you thankful for this thanksgiving??

Im thankful for my wonderful family and friends, and of course for all my friends on here, you are absolutely wonderful!!! and Im thankful for my wonderful man, and everything that I have been blessed with in my life!!!
