smile for me? or for yourself... whichever

Hiya Boys and Girls,   It's been a LONG week for me so sorry I haven't updated but I have had a bunch of stuff going on... Everything is fine, so no worries kay?   A quick story update before I get to the point of this blog... I haven't yet started FBTE 25 because the Anthology deadline is approaching and I need to finish that up first... but then it's back to FBTE and to finish that up, another 2... maybe 3... chapters left in case you were wondering.   Okay on to the smiles right?

Oh... my... GOLLY!

So, I'm sorry if I haven't been around much this week... we had family visiting... read... driving me absolutely crazy! But have no fear, the countdown has begun... less than seven hours until they are on a train headed back home! I don't mean to sound... well, crappy... but OMFG! It's just unreal... I mean, if I took my kids to visit somewhere for a week, I would be all over them to pick up their stuff, and not leave a mess everywhere, and be quieter, etc... but I swear to you... I have picke

Morning All,   So just a quickie for now cause I'm only halfway ready for work and I need to get the heck outta here or I'll be late and as of now there is no half naked Tuesday policy at work...   FBTE 24 is in the hands of my proofreader(s) only one full version has been sent to THE proofreader and as soon as I hear back from him... it'll be in the hands of the man, so look for it soon kay?   Now back to my anthology maybe? Or perhaps FBTE 25 which will either be the last chapter ot t

Okay...   Tax Guy Glenn: I need to speak to Rich or Vivian   Me: This is she...   Tax Guy Glenn: Well, I have something for you.... [in an even creepie

sorry about the heart attack...

So, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!   I should apologize for the coronary upset I caused a few of you yesterday, especially Davey... See a while back we had this... incident... where he thought if he didn't tell me something then I wouldn't have to worry unnecesarilly and I yelled at him So as you can imagine, when something rather scary and possibly dangerous occurs, you want to tell the people you love and let them know you are okay and even maybe... ask for a hug or two million...   An

any thoughts?

What's this life anyway? What's it to you and me, what's it to anyone, and who are we supposed to be? Make me a storybook, and write me away from here, I need it different now. Where we can wear each other for a while, and I'll lend you my tears if I could borrow your smile, and we'll get through tomorrow some other day, happy after, once upon these days.   - Chantal Kreviazuk, These Days   Okay so today is almost over for this year...   I was chatting to Davey the other day and we ende

it's tomorrow again...

It comes every year, like clockwork, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. It doesn't mean I want to have to remember, but I do. I do remember, and... sometimes it's inescapable and sometimes, it's theraputic and I'm more thankful that I still do, and I remind myself I never want to forget it, decide to learn from it somehow, if I can... but still, it's tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it through without too much... wallowing? But who knows, I guess we'll see right?   Wrote a little more on

it's 2:42 am...

... do you know where your husband is? Or better yet, do you know where mine is?   So my Sweetie is in bed sleeping again, and my Luvuh just bailed on me for warmer, cushier places that provide rest, and my Angel has long since been snoozing and here I am up and all alone... *sigh*   I have the next two days off and I'm not working superbowl so that's awesome!   I got a letter from Tobi today I miss him, but he seems like he's doing really well and gonna be done soon and missing us li

omg! i left the house without...

.. a jacket! It is 81 degrees outside right now and it's not like I *NEED* one, but I think because I *ALWAYS* have at least one, and it's usually on me, I sorta panicked... Rich agreed I was being paranoid... whatever.   So my friend from work 'S' got back from his trip to China that was a birthday present from a friend of his... WAY AWESOME GIFT!!!... and was telling me all these stories last night... I have concerns about visiting there now but since his stories are so... fulfilling I mi

there is a god...

Mmmhmm, I met him too~ We cruised, we talked, we texted covert style, it was fun! He wore his Nittany Lions cap... I wore my Volcom hat... I think I'm not supposed to mention his large amount of random blushing for no real reason... so I better not talk about that. Hmm, what else? I guess we should ask him... but I had fun He brought his sisters along to meet my crazy family so then there were eight of us.   What can I say about him? Funny, good sense of humor, creative, cute, somewhat shy, w

not a blog...

I'm grumpy.   Davey cheered me up. "I love you" with a Scottish accent does wonders for my mood it seems.   My daughter dreamed a vampire bit me and killed me, and I am trying to soothe her by telling her that in Com's story GFD, the vampires aren't bad or scary.   I can see my son's face again, took him for a haircut.   I actually wrote a page and a half so FBTE 23 is coming soon... hang on for me Altimexis. I really am trying...   My angel listens, more than that, he cares... so than

Okay so we are currently waiting on this Tooth Fairy chick to come and leave us something under our pillow... SINCE MY SON LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH TODAY!!!   So I pick him up from school today and eventually, as if it was no big deal at all, he says, "Oh, so my tooth fell out today."   Me: OH MY GOSH!! Were you in class when it fell out?   Him: Yeah.   Me: Did you cry? (Cause my daughter ALWAYS cried)   Him: Nah.   Me: Did it bleed?   Him: Meh, a little.   Me: Awwwwwww, lemme s

If you do, you definitely need to watch this!   Okay, beyond that sillines...   The kids are back to school tomorrow and my son is STILL up at 10:30 pm cause he is just SO damn excited to be going back that he can't just calm down and rest some.   So lemme see, day off today... did laundry, paid bills, braved COSTCO... exciting news right?   OOH! Rich and I watched that movie 'Latter Days' So good! Seriously, I am so moved by it, but it made me sorta sad too in that helpless way, like yo

Joey and my angel BOTH blogged yesterday and then beautiful today... I think I'm being left behind Well screw that! HAHAHAHA!   Let me start by saying... YAWN! I need some   So I have a few funny holiday stories...   First one is... Tony, and Rich's friend Joe who was visiting for the holidays, were out Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve cause Tony waited till the last minute like some freak, and Joe wasn't aloud to bring anything on the plane... So apparently they were trying to come

Mr. Nibbu-sr died :(

Everyone, a moment of silence please...   ....   Mr. Nibbu-sr will be missed.. he was a good and loyal, faithful balloon-substitute baby who met his demise before his time. He will be missed, although he has already been replaced with 'Friendly' the green balloon.   Okay enough of that mellow-drama...   My anthology is finished!!! That's right, I said FINISHED! DONE! COMPLETED! FINITO! Now back to FBTE 23 right!?   The Christmas cards are done! and signed! and addressed! envelopes lick

taking a break....

this one's for my Sweetie!

Well, I mean he DOES deserve his very own blog entry right?   Okay so I know I already said this part... but Happy Birthday! Since I have 5 minutes left to celebrate it here... I guess the bonus is that we get to celebrate your birthday for 32 hours instead of 24... giggle! Anyway, you need the extra hours each year if you're gonna catch up to me right? You wouldn't let me turn 30 all by myself... would you?   So, I could go on forever... and ever... and ever... and... well you get the po

s-s-s-sooooooooooooo COLD!

Kay so, just for ambience or whatever... it's 12:07 am, and I'm sitting here waiting for Rich to get finished building this computer so we can go to bed. It is SO DAMN COLD in here it's beyond ridiculous... I looked... 56 degrees... holy shit right?! So yeah, the deal with that is, a while back, MANY months back, the gas comany was out here to light a pilot light for us, and the guy told Rich that if we keep the furnace pilot light out, it'll save us money and then they'll come back and light t

2nd try... cause I'm stoopid

... and closed the window. At least I was only one paragraph into it right? Okay so... to start again now...   I'm waiting for Davey to get back, he went for food and I hope he brings me some cause I'm hungry and the kitchen is waaaaaaaaaay out there.   So I'm in bed, cozy and warm, blogging, talking to Kev... who asked me to call and then got pissed off when the phone rang   Lemme see now... to sum up... hehehe   Took the kiddies to Disneyland, kicked Rich's ass at Buzz Lightyear Astro

get ready to gobble?

Kay so that's a lame title... whatever. I couldn't think of anything good... I think it's my lack of Davey time   So i've been writing some. FBTE 23 is about halfway done and I have the plans for at least the next chapter also, so that's good right? I signed up for the anthology... which is due on December 15th :wacko: and I haven't started that yet... I may have to... not write something... but we'll see. There's still time right?   I toured 27 4th graders around my store today and I will

Since I have 15 minutes to kill...

I guess I'll blog. I was tryinig to... coerce... Steve into doing it for me, but I'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen. I was trying to make a doctor's appointment cause... well... Rich is making me. I guess I should go, since it's my day off and I have nothing else at all I need to do, like the enormous pile of laundry or the dishes or go grocery shopping or... you get the idea right? So apparently we open at 8 means 8:20... whatever, breathing is overrated anyway.   So yeah, STILL sick. I

That might be because it's 3 pm now and so far today I have had a grande caramel apple cider from starbucks, a piece of bacon, a raspberry tootsie pop, an icee, and two cheese puffs I stole from my son I think... I'm more tired than hungry though since I was up for work at 3 am the past two days. Who does that? Oh yeah... me   So I don't have long... since I have to leave in 40 minutes to go get Rich and then... MY NEW CAR!!!! for the third time this week :wacko: It's alright though, I'll co

Sorry, I had to do it...

I took the 'What Color Rose Are You?' quiz...   You Are an Orange Rose   You represent desire and enthusiasm   Your vibe: Sexy yet familiar   Falling in love with you: happens instantly - it's a fast ride   I took the "What Kind of Flirt Are You?' quiz...   You Are a Friendly Flirt!   You are quite the flirt, but you don't flirt with just anyone. And you hardly ever get caught, because your flirting seems so friendly. You've got a good thing going. Tons of friends, both guy

OMFG! it's finally done!

Yes, that's right, the refinance from hell is finished and as of Saturday I deposited a HUGE check into my bank account. Not that it matters all that much since it is all already spent, but in ways that are SO worth it! I am getting rid of my sister, fixing Rich's car so I don'y have to put the TAXI sign on top of MY NEW CAR!!! Paying off all my debt, and it feels great! PS. Thanks to all of you who got in the 'kick Viv's sis' ass and then moved on over to the brother's ass' line, and especiall
