Thanks Lisa! I'm trying to be inventive about how Corey's Mother responds to the violent outburst. I have a few ideas. OR will he get away with it like he has in the past, with just a verbal warning and a trip to the couch? lol. We'll see. And, I'm thankful that people are starting to warm up to Jenny, so far she's been more central in Corey's life/interactions than Clinton and before that, the Greg character.

Britney Griner comes out as gay shortly after being selected No. 1 for the WNBA Draft. For those of you that don't know she was the star 6 foot 8 inch center for Baylor University. There was always questions about her sexuality, but for the most part people left her alone in the media and focused on her basketball abilities. Now she hopes that she can help youth understand sexuality and overcoming adversity because of their sexuality. Very nice Role Model, I believe.

Reds swept the Phillies. But lost 2/3 to the Pirates.. so maybe they are just really good this season? I hope not... bah.

The whipping scene was the turning point in Katnis' decision on whether to run or to stay and fight, so they needed to keep that one. As for the spoiler - YES, me too. It was one of the rare extremely touching moments in the second book.

Ugh.. I knew when I opened my big mouth that the Reds would start to lose... but.. Votto is still my man. Mmmmm.

Ooohh Nice! That's just the first teaser trailer too, usually those aren't so good, but I liked it a lot.

Finally writing = making the weekly wrap up!

Oh shush.

Yeah, I'm like that as well.. with former boyfriends.. way better as friends than when I was dating them. Although only one turned out to be Gay.. lol. But Jenny is an important character in the story and for what I have planned. I'm glad people like Jenny, I was afraid people wouldn't and her importance in the story would start throwing people off.

Yeah - didn't want to get too deep into the abuse/social services thing. I have better twists planned, I believe.

Yeah! Writing a Dog into the picture though is actually harder than it looks.. lol. She can be easily forgotten or taking up unnecessary spots in the plot at times. But she so far is adding to the story, so I don't mind as much. Love that you like the story so far. I hope to add some of my bigger plot plans sometime or another. The story still seems to be moving slow, we'll see.

Oh thanks for reading! I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

Thanks for reading... and rereading! lol. Yes, all the crap has to hit something doesn't it? I hope have a few cure balls left in the bag though.

After the debate involving gay rights, with players coming out in support of equal rights and against it. There has been talk, after the retired NFL player came out of the closet, that four more ACTIVE players are planning to come out. Proponents say that it is a "selfish" self-serving act on their part. But there have been coaches and players come out in support, saying that they wouldn't mind coaching, drafting, and playing with players that are gay. They say the four players are communicating with one another and will try to come out together so all the pressure and the back lash wouldn't be on just one person, but a supportive group. Now I know there are more than just four guys that are gay in the NFL, so maybe that number will grow in the coming weeks. I do support the decision - it will show gay youth that more is possible and that there isn't a certain mold that homosexuality creates. Also, if these players do come out they become role models - and hopefully lasting and good role models. They transition the sport from homophobic, locker room trash talking, into a more suitable place for people OR I hope more players begin to behave themselves in the locker rooms and on the field and the like. That slinging the word "faggot" and "fairy" and stuff around isn't the most appealing thing to do. It may also show the groups of people that still think that homosexuality means that men are effeminate and that women are masculine. Make them take a step back and question what it all means. Either way it will open a lot of eyes. On a lighter note: Wanna take guesses/hopes on who it is? As long as Joe Flacco and Aaron Rogers still qualify for my second husband list, I'll be fine.

Kentucky schools are back to back champions - too bad this year the celebrations will be in red instead of blue... Better luck next year Michigan, I hope he is able to keep the team intact, they'd be the team to beat next year for sure.

What did the REDS do to them CARDINALS? Huh.. I think they put up a crap ton of offense... slapped y'all silly.

Thanks for reading and enjoying the story so far. It is a fun story to write so far. What I planned for it gets pretty interesting, so I'm glad the last 19 chapters have been fun to read for you.

Lol! I hope so too Benji! I'm glad you're sticking with me.

SIS 19 The next morning Dad woke me by banging on the door. I groaned rolling over just as he came in. The boxes containing most of my things were taped and in the corner of the room. When I looked up at him he already had his arms crossed over his chest. It was his coaching stance, he always thought it was intimidating and it probably would be if I wasn’t so used to it and too angry with him to care. “Get your lazy ass up,” he said and I sat up on the edge of the bed. “Good

Louisville women are in the title game too!

Ok, I've confused myself.. did Syracuse win? I didn't want them to.. if they didn't win then.. the Krista jinx is real and all of you are in a world of punishment.. hahahaa

Oh and the women's final four is: Louisville, California, Connecticut, and Notre Dame.. University of Louisville is loaded in a lot of sports right now, it's kind of scary.. lol. Football they are rebuilding, but did well. Basketball Men and Women team both in the final four, the Men in the Finals. Their baseball team is ranked 14th in the nation. They have a distinct advantage though, they have the biggest revenue out of all of college basketball - thanks in part by the YUM! brands and the YUM! Center.

Louisville's comeback win was nice, but why did it have to be against Wichita State? But.... LETS go Syracuse...
