My best friend has a blog now

I am so happy that Michelle decided to start a blog so I am going to take this opportunity to tell her how much I love her and what she means to me. So here goes....Dear Chelle, We have been best friends for 17 years and that in it self says a lot about our friendship!! We have been there for each other thru all the joys and all the heartaches and even all the "fights" where we swore that we would never speak again (which never lasted longer than a week)You are the godmother to my precious baby girl (I know, I know, she is not a baby anymore)and have treated her as if she was your own. Needless to say, we have had a lot go on in our lives and we have stuck by each other thru it all without hesitation. When the house came up for sale right next door to you it was like a dream come true, in fact it was one of our "fantasies" as kids and I never in a million years thought that it would be possible, I am so glad that it was. If it was not for you and my mom I would not have been able to make it thru the whole "single mom" thing. It was you who helped me realize that even if Adam was not going to be around, that you would and that I was very much capable of doing it on my own, and you were right! Anyway, I'll get to my point. After all these years and after living right next door and seeing you almost every day, it still amazes me that we always have something to talk about and even when we don't it is always a "comfortable silence" That to me is like having a "soul mate" now I know that Cory is your soul mate and Travis is mine, but I mean a different kind. Sure, you are like a sister, and my family is your family (and vice versa) but you are so much more than that. And I just want you to know that I do appreciate you and I am so lucky to have a friend like you. Thank you for everything girlie, YOU ROCK! Love ya :)

I have a new love....

The Sims!!! I can not believe how fun this game is. I have spent most of today at work thinking about what I am going to do with them tonight. Crazy, huh?? I made my first family like my own, except I didn't realize that they have to "get to know each other" before the mom and dad can sleep in the same bed ((and I can understand why))Travis makes the comment last night "He don't look like me" Well....they don't have your exact body type in there, duh. Silly boy.

In some other news, a friend of mine gave me a box full of scrap stuff that she does not want anymore. I guess she is giving up the hobby (I know, what's wrong with her) Oh Well, I got some cool stuff so I'm happy :).

And that is about it today, sad I know!

A birthday present for Meggers ((and me))

I am so super happy to say that Fiona Apple's new CD is finally coming out!!!! Thank God. I feel like I have been waiting for this CD for evah!!! ((it has been 2 yrs)) Here it is for ya.... http://www.fiona-apple.com/em/pressrelease.html

I posted this for Meg too because I know she is also a fan and today is her birthday..Happy Birthday Meghan honey. Also here is another glimpse of your tag. Hope you have a wonderful day!!! Love ya.

Happy Birthday Kristi!!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Kristi! Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!! Hope you enjoy your day sweetie.

I got the pleasure of seeing Cold Play on Friday night and let me tell you, I have seen a ton of concerts in my day, but this one has got to be somewhere at the top of my list. I say "somewhere" because I have seen so many good concerts that it is really hard to say which one was better. This is a pic of them on Friday night, isn't Chris Martin just so dreamy? :) . Anyway..the thought of "top of my list" brings up some very good questions to ask myself. How would I rate the concerts (that I remember) that I have been to. Some of my "for sure" top shows are..Pink Floyd, Roger Waters (without Pink Floyd), Dave Matthews (of course), Smashing Pumpkins (before they hit big), Jimmy Buffett (well, because it is so damn fun), Prince and now Cold Play. Ok, I guess I should also add the "Smokin' Grooves" tour I went to..see what I am saying? I can't stop. I really want to sit down and make the list and maybe even scrap it. I just don't know if I will ever be able to finish the list ;) I guess I should think of it as a good thing that I have had the opportunity to see so many good shows. I just wish that I was smart enough to journal it all before I started scrappin', ya know?

I am just so sad.

I don't really know why, but the last few days just about everything has made me want to cry. I know that I am PMSing but I usually don't get like this. Seriously, everything makes me cry. Has anyone ever gone thru this? I cried like a little baby yesterday and really for no reason. I just feel....sad. Hopefully I'll feel better later. I have to work tomorrow so maybe knowing that I don't really have a "weekend" to look forward to is making it worse. Who knows. I want to scrap tonight, so I need to cheer up so that everything doesn't turn out black and dreary, ya know?
