My Urban Jungle.

We went to the animal shelter and and got 2 new kitties. They are both orange tiger tabby. I just can't think of names for the them. I've always been able to pick out names for my cats, but this time they aren't coming to me. oooo.´®ΩuyzzzzzzzzzzzB V1BV ÏRD/T the following message brought to you by "Magellan" I finally came up with a name for one of our new kitties. Now I just have to think of one more. Oh and the reason behind Magellan is the fact that he just explores everything and very mischievous. It will suit him very much.

new new new

Well, we are finally back living in our own place again..thank god!! Its been a long time coming and I can say that it was worth the wait but the wait was the worse.

Everything is much better now.

We finally got a Macbook Pro and we absolutely LOVE IT!!!!! It has awesome features that I just love and I haven't even really messed with it yet. I do like the Garage Band program and so does my youngest son who is 14 now. We also got a PS3 and its fabulous and of course the boys love it. The X-box has nothing on it and we have one of those also.

We still have our doggy Pepper.

We have a new ride too. Its a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. It has awesome features and rides great and does good on gas too. It has plenty of room for the all 5 of us and the dog. Its great on trips too. Last week Rob had to run down to Kentucky to get my sister Lori and bring her up her because we had an Aunt pass away and she needed to say her goodbyes too so Rob jumped in the car and 12 hours later was back with her in tow.

I am still working at a major grocery chain and I love it. I went through the training to become an Asst. Customer Service Manager and passed with flying colors. Now am I just waiting for my promotion to go through which hopefully will be soon because I've pretty much been doing the job for the last year or so.

I am sure I will start posting more often now that I have the means too.

I finally made it back....

well, here I am. I finally made it back to the blogging world. It only took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to get logged in with the new google log in....I will say that after being offline and not on a computer since Aug of '07 one does lose the ability to remember on how to use this complicated piece of technological machinery. Anyways, there has been so many things happening since then I don't know where to begin. So here goes nothing....

The day before Hubby and I's 6th anniversary he was in a car accident which totalled my car. Some 'idiot' and i say that as nicely as I can at this point decided he couldn't wait ten more seconds to turn left and hubby ended up hitting the front right side of the guys' pickup truck. The impact flipped the truck on its side and the car went in and under the truck. My hubby was injured to the point that 4 of the disks in his cervical spine were compressing on his spinal cord, which left him with loss of strength of 40% in all 4 of his limbs, numbness and constant tingling. He ended up having to have surgery on his neck-front and back-which bone had to be removed along with 2 disks, and titanium plates and screws and bone grafts to stabilize his neck to the point that no more compressing of the spinal cord would take place. The pain that he is in very unimaginable. He can no longer move his neck at all and reguires assistance when walking, bathing, eating, etc. It has been very hard to all take in and deal with but I will do whatever I have to care for him because he is my Husband and the Love of my Life. So for him I will be strong but I am not going to lie, somedays I cry on the inside.
His neurosurgeon told us that without the surgery he would be paralyzed within 5 years. Which of course scared me to death because who would want that for the one the loved so dearly.
After being home from the surgery he ended up the pneumonia and the incision from the surgery became infected and now he is back in the hospital. They are going to give him IV antibiotics and if that doesn't work they may have to open him back up and clean everything out.

On a lighter note, I finally got out of the fast food business and I got a job at a local supermarket working in the office. I very much like it a lot better. Its a pretty easy job and I get paid a decent wage.

So other than Hubby being hurt, everything was going pretty well. I like to hope that things will get better down the road because they couln't get much worse.

a quiet moment

the faintest of glimmers,
silver, sparkling, a warm glow
ignited by a moment, rare
tucked inside, the blind emotional soul
in fear of waging a lustful hope.
captivating heart, to much a care.
an ember ignites, extinguishes another.

circus, circus

Ella Fint wore a dark gray suit today, and
what a drab color, indeed
No hats, flashing lights or colorful beads.
For the circus left town yesterday.

and a few more....but funnier this time

here in this chair, I do sit
fixing to have a fit,
because of this guy, who's on the sly,
because he doesn't need to know all my shit.

a few words....

Shadows fall and shadows rise
and cross our paths all thru our lives.
they dance across our memories
shades of rosy glass flash o'er the eyes,
locks of fall brown flow round
and caress her cheeks.
Soft and smooth, as your sword upon her face.
Its the chase of the thrill, the seek of the find,
the way.

Halfway to 35

I snapped this picture myself with my new camera. Its a Sony Cybershot and I'm really liking it so far. It has a lot of features it will take my years to learn, I'm sure. Hubby got it last week by my powers of persuasive persuasion. Whenever He and I would be out and about I would always see something. I can't really describe what I would feel when I would see "it" but I would want to capture the moment but alas! I could not for no camera I had. So what does he do? Last week he bought me a camera. And I very good camera at that. So tonight I have already taken 100 pictures. Lots of close ups of myself, and normal every day objects.

You Are 40% Strange!

You are a bit strange, though still more normal than strange. You definitely have some quirks, don't get me wrong. But you aren't exactly freaking out old ladies on the street. It's okay though, you've got a healthy mixture of strangeness and normality.

You have a good voice for TV and radio.

"Gravity"
by Embrace

Honey, It's been a long time coming
And I can't stop now
Such a long time running
And I can't stop now

Do you hear my heart beating
Can you hear that sound
Cause I can't stop thinking
And I don't look down
And then I looked up at the sun
And I could see
Oh the way that gravity turns for you and me
And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun
And the way that gravity pulls on everyone, on everyone
Baby, It's been a long time waiting
Such a long, long time
And I can't stop smiling
No I can't stop now
And do you hear my heart beating
Ah can you hear that sound
Cause I can't help crying
And I won't look down
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
Oh the way that gravity turns on you and me
And then I looked up at the sun and saw the sky
And the way that gravity pulls on you and I, on you and I
Can you hear my heart beating
Can you hear that sound
Cause I can't help crying
And I wont look down

Just Have to say....

For one I have to say that the Hinder CD "Extreme Behavior" is excellent!!!! A friend of mine gave me a copy of it a couple of months back and I never listened to it until yesterday.

I also got the great experience of talking with my hubby's brother-in-law. Now I know why he avoids talking with them. They just go on and on. So I'm never going to "nag" him about talking with his sister when she calls long distance from Tennessee.

I think I pissed off my ex when I put too dark of make-up on my 14 year old daughter. She is autistic and a different kind of teenager. She still hangs on to what most people would think would be childish for a 14 year old girl. But there are ways she wants to be more of a girl than what he thinks she should be. I told him that she looked good with it and I liked it and therefore it didn't matter because I am also her parent. So he made it a point to tell me that "she is going to wash that off tonight when she gets home". I said to him, "well she should wash her face before she goes to bed".

In other news......

About last night...all I can say is mind-blowing, sensational, over the top, whole new threshold, satisfying(better than a snickers for sure), unbelievable, incredible, can't wait until it happens again sex!!@!!!!!@@#!!!@##!#!@!@!@!@@$@#!@~~~!!!!!!!!

Once in a Night

Once again, midnight.
Sleep slumbers while,
I dreamest not.
The escape to unreality is,
soothingly haunting.
Creativeness creeping around
inside, waiting until the dark.
Staring beyond my confines,
from the softest; warm celestial
stars of a personal heaven.
Glowing brightly, pale white.
burning, exploding from within.
Relighting embers upon the dusk.
Once again, midnight reawakens.
Sleep slumbers while, I dreamest not.

Rumors...

What is the point of rumors? I'd really like to know. Because I found at yesterday from someone the I've been messing around with this guy at work. The funny things is I never worked with the guy. He only works during the summer and I only saw him a few times in passing...him coming in and me going out and not to mention, I never liked him in that way...just friends, mere acquaintences really. I have a good feeling I know who started it. Not for sure just a feeling, womens intuition. But I figure if someone needs to say something bad about somebody else to make themselves feel better then they are the ones with the real problem. Because I know the truth and thats all the matters.
