Too cool for words. Congrats on that. Keep it up, you are almost there. You know what is sad... I have more credits than you and will probablly graduate at the same time! I told you would finally see the end. Congrats!..., and stick with it, U'r almost there! Thanks for the happy dance! (you could have shown us on video lol) I hope you get all your credits Sprite. And that you meet the end with the success you want and with a smile on your face :) Hooray! Chemistry..... PUKE! I feel the same way. Plan on going to college once the boys are a little older. Interior design. My mom was into that and I worked the books and did custom artwork for her clients. I had a blast! So... yes Interior Design here I come.... in about hmmmmmm.... 4 years! Congrats on the credits chick! Congratulations It's always good to have an end in sight ;) Monday, January 23, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 2:01 PM.
That soapbox was hilarious! I love it, so true so true, well except for the constipation and hair loss :)) Thursday, January 19, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 3:22 PM.
That thing you saw : Heya. I thought i drop in and take a peek on your blog. Thanks for the kind words. I've never been called a thinker before. Mental deficient, idiot, retarded, yes, but never thinker. OMG-Augh! Wednesday, January 18, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 5:29 PM.
*Welcoming Mack to the Sprite list* Aww, isn't that cute, you miss your little friend. Draco means dragon in Latin, and he has the heart of a dragon. :) He thinks he is big... lol! I have a terrible chest cold. I thought it was because I had forgot to take my inhalor but now I seem to have the flue as well. I hope you get better soon :) WELCOME MACK! Tuesday, January 17, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 12:00 PM.
Love the toon, I feel like that too, I don't like mornings. Haha,the cartoon,is just great.Keep up on the no smoking, i'm always here for ya. So good that u still don't smoke! Monday, January 16, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 5:54 PM.
Wow I love it! I sure had a lot of fun with the face stuff. I had so much fun with the my heritage site. I posted on that a little while ago! You out do all of them Miss. Beautiful! lol. shes_a_sprite @ 11:45 AM.
I haven't heard of black vodka but it sounds potent! hahaha, Spritey got wasted :)) Friday, January 13, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 2:29 PM.
Have a great time sailing! Sounds like a whole lotta fun! x Hahaa... No, I live in the Sunshine state, where we rarely have to break out our coats, and when we do usually by afternoon we don't need them anymore! LOL... Thursday, January 12, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 1:04 PM.
Glad things with James is well off. I took spanish for four years but of recent I have forgotten all of it no most though. Hah. what a waste.Hope your well, take care!Hope your grandmother Too bad about travelling to court for nothing! Ahh well. I would say a raven for me; all black, smart, it's own language, and I love flying. Luv the drag & drop! Things sound nice with James. The comfort thing must be a good sign but obviously as I say "dont count your chickens before they hatch". But still it sounds good for you :) particularly as you haven't had the urge to run yet. I get those urges too. Tuesday, January 10, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 10:33 AM.
Yeah the drivers get that way sometimes. It aggravates me about as bad. I am surprised you didn't say something. And it is clearly the woman's fault for that accident. ;) Hey Sprite! Ewwww..., hahaha those military cut backs! I don't understand why that bus driver would just fall asleep at the stops. What on earth must her passengers thought? lol, if she just fell asleep for ages. I've never been on a bus that got lost. I expect that would be immensely annoying. But yes I agree I absolutely hate it when the bus just waits for ages before leaving; especially when I'm a little late to start with and then I'm ridiculously late by the time I get to whereever I'm going. Heh aww poor you and good luck with your trial thingie!! Monday, January 09, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 9:31 PM.
I like! I don't think you have posted it before, I like it too! It's a very natural and lovely pic x I am working on html code for a blog for my friend Larry. I just needed a place to that I could see it. This html is proving to be a pain in the ass though! Carmel you can see it from my profile page A message for Mrs.beach ~ Classes started today! I think I am going to get along with both of my teachers just fine, the both seem to be nerds, which means I will fit in! One is a cool nerd (like me) and the other one is kind of a dorky nerd, but still likeable. Both are enthusiastic about their subject matter, and both of my classes are fairly small. My Spanish class is only about 30 people, 15 of which showed up today, my psych class is only 75 people, though the teacher said that about a quarter of which will drop by the drop/ add date. I sat in the front row, like I always do (I don't see very well, though Lar would tell you it was because I am brown nosing which I resent) well I was the only one in the front in Spanish, and when the teacher called roll, and I raised my hand, he made sure to say, see Heather here is in the front row. I was so embarrassed, all I could do was say, "yeah I am a nerd what can I say," and laugh it off. He went on to explain that he would rather people sit in the front since it is such a small class.... great, I am already on a first name basis with Sam. shes_a_sprite @ 1:00 PM.
Nice Blog. I blog because it's like a diary to me. It's my little place where I can say what's on my mind and getting comments (what I really like to get). I will surely pray for them and what they are going through. OH yeah, before I forget, great meme! Very good to read about the new year resolution! But sorry to hear of your back. Friday, January 06, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 1:00 PM.
Awww Sprite! It's been a great experience gettng to know you through the blog world, I think you have left a lovely imprint on my life and think you make a great friend! I would love to get myself to Florida some day! Well it's great to hear that you have had it too busy too miss school. I kinda got the same thing. I had this vacation a great time and i loved every minute of it. When I commented I forgot to write down my best characteristic, i was too busy giggling and caramel popcorn :)) I hope you feel better by now and that even though we have never met the imprint you have been in my life has been vast, always giving me words of encourgement when I have had none for myself. Wednesday, January 04, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 3:30 PM.
Love the pictures!! And the update, wow you have certainly been busy. Ice skating sounds fun. Ice skating in Fla. sounds great! Tuesday, January 03, 2006 shes_a_sprite @ 12:39 PM.
Nice to hear the update! 2006 started out well! Yes I'm pleased you have entered the New Year with a smile on your face, may the rest of your year be no different :) It's always good to see things starting off well.
Further along
than I thought! I have 89 credits (or will at the end of this semester) and I only need 120 to graduate. I figured this out while filling out my application for double major. I need only one other core class (a natural science probably chemistry-blah) the rest are psych or crim classes. I may take another spanish. The way that I have my semesters laid out, I should graduate by the end of next summer (not the one right around the corner. Summer of 07) This means that I am 1 credit away from being a senior. :) Over all, do you know what this means? It means that there is an END in sight! 31 more hours and I am done! 1.5 years and I am through!
Happy dance!!!

whatta weekend!
Where to start~
Friday: I got off work, and headed out for dinner and a movie with James. We saw Underworld Evolution, and it was really good. If you like vampire movies or werewolf movies at all, I suggest that you see first Underworld, and then go see Underworld Evolution! All I can say is that I wish I was small enough to wear one of those leather suit things.... wow!
Saturday: Slept late... that may seem like a small thing to the rest of the world, but for me it is great! It was beautiful weather on Saturday Mid 70's to 80 degrees out. James suprised me and went grocery shopping for salad makings, so we had a lovely salad for lunch and then headed out for 18 baskets of disc golf!Look of fierce competition! 
His look is pretty fierce too! We both went our seperate ways to clean up, but not for long! Saturday night I had dinner with James, Ruth and Andy, Larry, and one of James' friends Mike at Friday's. It was good food, and even better company! :)
We were pretty evenly matched the entire game!
The Putt!
Speaking of Larry.... Look what he did! WOW! I love it! Now that is karma! :)
Then everyone but Lar headed to this club called the Atlantic. It was not exactly my scene, but James really wanted to see this band called Alphabet city, which I call Alphabet soup.... lol somewhere on that sight they have some of their music posted. It is a little out there by my standards, but there were a lot of people at the Atlantic that night. Mike had a great idea, earplugs! Genious! The music was not bad, just different. Everyone got slightly tipsy, but I did not. I drank way too much last weekend!
Sunday was my catch up day as always! Homework, housework, laundry, grocery shopping... the usual. I did not get my house cleaned the way I like to on Sundays, but se la ve right.
that was friggin funny!
Have you ever heard of fried pickles? well they are really really good! It is something I came across in Alabama. Probably the only thing that went right the whole time I was there lol! Anywho last week at Gators Dockside they had them on the menu, so we got some! They even served them with ranch. I had never thought to eat them with ranch, even though I eat everything else with ranch.... anywho. Here is what they look like:
and fried pickle art:
(its a pickle flower)
I have really good news. I qualify for my double major! I am totally stoked. I am going Wednesday to get the Psychology and Criminology Departments to sign off on my application, and that is it, I am a double major. I have to keep my GPA up but that should not be a problem.
I have other good news. I took my UAH handbook to the advisors office and he was able to transfer my out of state credits without making me go through this long petition process. It was really nice!
I have bad news: I have to take Chemistry. This is something I have managed to avoid since the 9th grade. I am not looking forward to it.
Other news: I have my first test in spanish on Thursday! I am not looking forward to it. I have been studying my butt off, and will continue to do so, but I am scared. I can't even spell in english, and they want me to do it in spanish? Are they crazy???? Estan Loco in la cabeza.

I am like a little girl at werewolf type movies, I feel like my heart will drop out and then I can't sleep without the light on, so I best not watch it lol, yah yah i'm wimpy.
I love the pics of you and James, sounds like you had a lovely time together and it looks like it too, that park looks gorgeous also.
Congratulations on the good news! YIPEE, but too bad about your bad :( Good luck on that test, and thanks for the free Spanish lessons on here ;)
Contemplation
Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut? Or so small compared to the general scheme of things? Or just baffeled to contemplate the meaning of it all...
I stew on it often. I think that I am not doing it right, I should try harder, I am not where I should be in life right now. I should take more classes, I should go to church more often, I should go see my family more... I should try harder at work, I should get to bed earlier so that I don't have so much trouble getting up in the morning. I should be more open, I should be less OCD. I go crazy thinking about all the things I should be doing, or should have done by now. How do you fit it all in a day? School every day, work every day... rush rush rush, I should not rush so.
I saw this today...
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Life reminds me of that country song, I'm in a hurry to get things done, so I rush and rush until life's no fun, all I gotta do is live and die but I'm in a hurry and don't know why.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy life, I get a break on the weekends and for about 24 hours I try to breathe.... but there is still that egging in the back of my mind that there are things I should be doing.
Other profound thinkers....
Selena has the answers (coffee!)! Mack and Rev^3 have the questions... Carmel has the inspiration. lol!
Thought for the day: Without heroes, we are all plain people and don't know how far we can go. ~Bernard Malamud
I think I would have worded it differently... without inspiration, we are all ... Inspiration comes in many different forms, it is what keeps us going, even when we feel like we are stuck in a rut. It comes from inside your heart, it comes from Him, it comes from your friends, heroes, role models, and family. It comes from a drawing, a poem, a book, a movie.... a beautiful sun set, a happy memory, the love of a child.
Factoid: There is actually a phobia of vegetables called Lachanophobia.
Veggies are scary sometimes. lol...

It's so true! I can relate to all of those things, it makes me shiver!
I also feel like I should be doing more of whatever it is. Awwww i'm honoured that you would have my name there as inspiration! You are also an inspiration to me, I would only wish to accomplish some of the things you do.
Life sure is like that country song :))
Love the pic hehehe.
Ok this weekend lets all breathe! said...
so...
1. your dog is simply sweet.
2. Life is really a bug rush. I can feel it too. ... i'm not really into Counry music, so i don't know that song. Ah well.
I hope you can get some time for your own.
Best wishes! - Mark Out Of Jersey said...
starbender said...
I have Lachanophobia!
Every time I C a veggie,
I get sooo Terrified,
I take off like a bat out of hell!
I run sooo fast that I brake my

heheehahaahohoo!
...and yes, everything U read about let down and luv and time is all TRUE!!! :"(
All I can say is:
Life's a b*tch,
and then U marry 3 of them!
(not all at the same time)
:o
Just a quickie
get your minds outta the gutter!
Please welcome Mack to the blog roll, from what I can tell, she is fairly new to blogging, but seems to fit right in!
GRRRR.... I have had this chest cold for well, for as long as I can remember, since Christmas... and it just won't go away, and you can't blame it on smoking cause I quit! Blah~
I have a ton of new Spanish homework to do, I don't mind it, but tonight I just want to go home and go to bed. It has been a pretty busy day at work, not bad, helped the day to go by a lil' quicker.DETERMINATION 
I miss my friend Ruth. Her boyfriend moved back up here from Miami, and now I don't see her very often. I had grown quite accustomed to having her around all the time. She was like a member of the family, maybe it is empty nest syndrome....
this post feel rather stream of consciousness to me, sorry If I lose you :)

Factoid: Talk about a good deal The US purchased Alaska from Russia for approximately 2 cents an acre.
New spanish words: Beber = drink Comer = eat
I have found that the spanish is not so hard to read, but more to hear. I can read it fine, and it takes me a few minutes but I can read it aloud fine, but when they start speaking in it... oh geeze~ I am in for it! lol!
Blog ya later
Unknown said...
I hope you get to see Ruth somewhat often :(
That factoid is hilarious, 2cents per acre,LOL I would have got myself a few acres too if I had known. But then again what would I do with those acres???
Love the pic with the doggy!!

Get better soon to all the sickies out there. I had bronchitis for over 2 months,,,,, it sucked harsh!Now because of misdiagnosis and not being treated promptly I need an inhaler! (oh joy) not! GET BETTER SPRITE AND CINNAMON SPIDER!
day 17
So today is day 17 of the no smoking thing, and it is working okay I guess. I still get a headache now and again, and I still have cravings. I really wish that it was not bad for you.
<-- how I feel most mornings.
My work is sending me to a two day seminar on Microsoft excel in March, and it just so happens to fall on my spring break, so I won't even have to miss my classes. :) This is so good, because I use excel every day, but I don't know how to do any of the advanced stuff. I have a LOT of trouble getting the graphs to do what I want them to, and there are so many things that are possible (like best fit lines) that I just don't know how to do. Then there is the whole equation writing thing, you can get this thing to do all kinds of equations and stuff... well, it is just a really powerful tool, and I am going to learn how to harness that power! :) I am such a nerd- I love to learn. I just can't feed my brain fast enough!
Heather on Yogurt - I really don't like yogurt, I don't really like much of anything that has that slimey consistancy... but it is very good for you, especially women. It helps to balance the yeast in your body, so that you don't get yeast infections, and it is low fat. Usually when I try to eat it I gag... Well I have found this stuff called Yoplait Whips that is edible. I don't think it is good, and I still have to wolf it down, in order not to psych myself out about it... but It went down okay. I guess I am just proud of myself for eating it. lol!
Heather on Baby Carrots - emmmmmm good! and they help with that hand to mouth oral fixation thing.
Spanish words for the day: la biblioteca = the library, la silla = the chair, la pizarra = the chalkboard, la puerta = the door and la ventana = the window.

Factoid: Adolf Hitler's mother seriously considered having an abortion but was talked out of it by her doctor. This may be the only time ever in life that I would have condoned an abortion... but who could have known? Hind sight is 20/20
If you could have one superpower what would it be, only one... and why.
I would pick something to the degree of a photographic memory, or super duper high IQ, so that learning did not take so long, and I could take more in, and spend less time at it. It wasn't till I started this spanish class that I realized that learning is hard, escecially when you are starting at the beginning. I can't wait until I know enough spanish so that I can start a spanish blog. I will try to post in it every day, so as not to lose the language. I am sure that it will sound rediculous.
Unknown said...
I learned excel a few years ago and didn't use it, now I forgot.
That's interesting about Aldolf Hitlers mother ya know, maybe she should have smacked him around the ear a few times as he was growing up the ass. :))
Oh if I could only have one superpower! I would like to have the super IQ too so I could sort out all the mysteries that people are not smart enough to work out hehehe. :D

New stuff...
Check out the "who links to me" thing... it is under the guess who picture beneath fun stuff...
I thought it was a pretty cool link! I found it on Eric's 4 the record blog thing, an interesting site that Dano turned me onto! All around props for every one!
Okay one other hat tip... Thanks to Carmel and Jonathan for this really cool site...
this was really neat! I got a few results, not sure if any of them actually look like me, but some of the other people that I have seen who did this really do look like some of their matched celebrities.

Free Ipod anyone?
Some simple instructions:
Considering these things are friggin expensive, I thought it was worth sharing, and it is not hard. :) Yeah, and we shall all have free ipods, and the day shall be a happy one!
We did not get to go sailing, the winds were approximately 25-30 mph with 3 ft white capping waves on a lake, so it was a bit too rough. It was all in all a nice weekend though. OMG, I do not drink very often at all, and I got totally wasted Saturday night. Have you ever heard of black vodka? It is totally potent... I was drinking it in Red Bull, a drink that James introduced me to, and wow I had about two and a half strong drinks, and I was feelin pretty good, then all of the sudden wham it all hit me. I was knee walking drunk. It was ok though, we were at his house, and I knew I was safe. But man oh man, Sunday was a biotch! So if you try it, drink in moderation people. Man I feel like a walking advertisment today... ipods and black vodka... lol!
anti advertisment... why I don't eat unidentifiable foods... (i.e. Chinese) lol! 
This semester is going to be a busy one. I am just beginning my second week of classes, and already I have had a ton of homework. It is just going to be one of those semesters that you can't let yourself fall behind. :) Do a little each day, and it should not be so bad.
Well, I have to get back to work in a minute, so I leave you with:

I had a terrible experience with vodka, I was fine one moment and then within seconds I was hammered.
Nice to hear that you had a good time, even though you didn't get to go sailing. I bet Florida is full of fun stuff to do.
Geeze thanks for the free Ipod thing, I only found out recently what one was, I think I have been living in the dark ages for too long.
Hmmm eat more ketchup!! (in Australia we call it tomato sauce but i'm conforming to the American language)
Keep up that Spanish!
*hugs
Friday the 13th
13 is my lucky number, and it has not been a bad day at all.
I did not have to deal with the public transit system today :) I paid to park in the parking garage at the Reitz and I walked my happy butt across campus and got to class 10 minutes early :) this makes me happy!
well this is going to be a very short post, as it is almost time to leave work now, and I have plans for tonight.
James and I are going sailing tomorrow. I have never been, so I feel like a kid the night before they go to Disney Land the first time... :) We were supposed to go play disc golf, but the wind is supposed to be out of control, bad for disc golf, great for sailing!

Factoid: The Amazon River enters the Atlantic with so much volume that fresh water exists more than a hundred miles from the mouth of the river.
I thought that was appropriate since I will be on the water tomorrow. I can't wait!
No question today... I think I shall wait till next week to continue with questions. :)

starbender said...
here's me... just getting here!
Better late than never!
Hope u had a great time sailing!
Obviously---U R nowhere near the N.E. part of the U.S.---We never sail this time of yr. ;] shes_a_sprite said...
Drag and Drop
Yes, yet another computer cartoon.... this one is called Drag and Drop.... LOL
To answer a few questions at once, I was a witness for the state at the trial, (I work for a law enforcement agency) so No, I was not in trouble. It was completely pointless, I drove all that way, missed class, and wasted my day for nothing. They came to some bargain agreement or something and released us all without testifying.
So, now I am completely backed up in my spanish class, luckily it is the beginning of the course, and I know most of what they are teaching. Some of it is new, but I should be able to figure it out.
Things are going well with James. I felt bad though, he came over last night, as we have not hung out in a few days, but all I did was homework. He had some studies to do too, so It was not a complete waste of his time, but I still felt bad. I am completely caught up in Psych reading though, and would have been even more lost in Spanish class, if I had not read what I did for Spanish last night. I have a ton of homework to do tonight, and with no syllabus it is like flying blind. but I digress... back to James - we have both come to the conclusion that it does not feel like we have only been dating a few weeks. I mean there are still certianly things to learn about each other, and I can't wait to learn them, but there is a certian comfort level there that has been lacking in my other relationships as of the last um... several years. Don't worry, I am not going all mushy emotional... I am still the same old Heather... and no I don't have a fever. I am however, trying to stick to the resolution in which I do not go running the other direction whenever someone tries to get close, and actually have not had the itch to run as of yet with James.
Back to the spanish thing, did I tell you we have to buy the syllabus? How rediculus is this? How utterly pointless. Bah~ *screened for profanity* I do not wish to go into this as of right now, as it would take me a while to rant on, and well, I just don't have the energy for that right now. Aside from that I already have a rant planned for today, well a continuation of a rant...
begin rant/
More public transit system information... I waited on the bus for 15 minutes today, and then another 5 while I was on the bus. So even though I left 10 minutes earlier today, I was still 5 minutes late for class. Tomorrow I shall leave my house at 0655, be on campus before 7 and if the bus is not there in like 2 minutes, I am walking to class. It is a long hike, but hey, the brisk morning air will be good for me eh? I think it is rediculus that we have to park so far away from class anyhow, but with a million and a half students, I guess I can see why...
End rant/
and now for some comic relief (you are thinking thank you lord! )
When I get off work, I am going to my Grandmother's after work. It is her birthday today. The bracelet that I ordered her did not make it in time, but I have a few charms, and an african violet pot to give her, I printed pictures of the bracelet and other charms. Now everyone I know has a charm bracelet, and there can be no more whining. :)

Factoid: At latitude 60 degrees south you can sail the entire way around the world. (You can't tell me these aren't addictive! I simply love the useless shit that fills my head!)
Question of the day: This one is inspired by a game of truth or truth that Lar and I played on the way to Cape Coral.
If you had to pick an animal that best represents you, what would you pick AND why?
I would have to say the horse. They are strong, independent, and stubborn. They spook easy and when it happens they bolt (good luck catching a spooked horse), but when you do win them over they are one of the most loyal creatures on earth!
Well I had better get me bum back to work, lots to do and little time to do it in!

I got to school today in plenty of time to get to class, and got right on a bus, a bus that did not leave the parking lot for 15 minutes, making me (by the time I walked to class) 5 minutes late for class. What was the hold up you ask? Well a bus driver, walked up and began a conversation with our bus driver, about another bus driver, named Rachel, that got fired, who apparently go lost (I heard part of this yesterday on the bus radios), but alas there is more to the story. She, Rachel, used to drive a big rig, and is a great driver, BUT, when she stops she falls asleep. (like at the bus stops) so they (our bus driver and the pedestrian bus driver) think she may have been sleeping when she got lost. Now all of this is very interesting let me assure you, but what is not interesting is my entire Spanish class looking at me as I try to sneak in late, and the teacher addressing me in spanish with a buenos dias senorita Heather, and something I am sure of which meant nice of you to join us.
/end rant
I am leaving tonight (not on a jet plane) to go to volusia county for trial tomorrow. wish me luck

It's so true! I really liked this one!
Factoid: Did you know that the names of the three monkeys are Mizaru (see no evil), Kikazaru (hear no evil), and Iwazaru (speak no evil).
Question of the day: what is your biggest pet peeve?
Today mine is incompetant public transit systems... but normally I have a few: chewing with your mouth open... my god is that disgusting! And stupid people, in general, and specifically stupid drivers.

Hmmm my pet peeve is a huge pet peeve, I get really peeved at people who think they are better than the next guy.
Buenos Dias Senorita Heather is good day miss Heather. Not that i'm spanish or anything, I just know these things ;)
again, all the best for the trial, have a safe trip x said...
My pet peeve is when people pick at/bite their nails. I can't stand the sound at all.

Did I ever post this one? It was from the hidden conquina rocks in St. Augustine. I happened across it tonight and thought it was a good one!

Mrs.beach, I knew that this was hard for you, you are a mother and you are human. You have every right to be mad, and every reason to cry! Every one deals with pain in different ways! Why do we laugh when we are embarrassed or nervous, not because we feel like laughing. There is nothing I can say that can even begin to chip away the pain that surrounds your heart. Know that you are not alone in this world, that there are others out there who have to be strong for their loved ones, always so strong, but who is there to be strong for them? Yes read your bible... It is good, and perhaps you will find your strength there, but also know that everyone needs an outlet, and if this (blogging) took your mind off of things, even for a few moments every day, then it was a good thing! *hugs* If you ever need to talk, my im names are listed in my profile! Please do not hesitate to contact me! It has been a pleasure reading your blog, and you have definately left an imprint on my life, and on my heart. I will keep you in my prayers and only hope that this will help keep you strong! I am sorry to see you go, but I understand completely, and wish you and Larry the very best!
To the rest of my readers, please keep Larry and his mother, Mrs.beach, in your thoughts and prayers, as the trials of his illness keep coming, and that his mother find some strength and inner peace through God's love. I guess I am activating a blog prayer tree, if there is such a thing. In real time there are phone trees, in which you call your friends and they call their friends. The power of prayer is in your corner mrs.beach!
kinda makes the rest of my blog look petty, but I will post it anyhow.
What was your favorite movie in 2005? I have not had a lot of time for movies, but I would probably say that Star Wars III was really good, and the Chronicles of Narnia was also Awesome!
What was your favorite book in 2005? hmmm.... not to sound redundant, but I read Chronicles of Narnia for the first time, and it was by far my favorite!
What was your favorite music album in 2005? Seventeen days by three doors down, hands down! The most awesome song on there is Landing in
Richer or Poorer? Broke just the same, I am a college student, what did you expect?
Thinner or fatter? Unfortunately heavier... but I am working on that.
What kept you sane this past year? The voices in my head, just kidding. My best friends Larry and Ruth, my Mom, and my faith...
Which personal accomplishment in 2005 are you most pleased with? I started my Junior Classes at UF, attending UF has been a life long dream.
What resolutions have you made for '06? I have quit smoking, 9 days no cheating... And I am trying to lose the extra pounds I put on while taking prednisone for my back.
Which bad habit are you most motivated to break? Smoking It is expensive and it smells bad, and it is bad for my health!
Which resolutions do you expect to keep? Both of them
What are you most looking forward to in 2006?getting that much closer to graduating... Right now the
I am not really tagging anyone, cause I was not really tagged. I just saw it on Carmel's blog , and thought it might be a good reminder to keep motivated for your resolutions, and being that we can all use a little motivation every now and then, I thought I would post it!
I could not resist, yall know me and my computer cartoons and pics! lol, I have got to get me one of these!
I think I am really going to like my classes this semester. This has not happened in a long time, school has been hard, and not enjoyable the last few semesters, but this, though it may be hard, is right up my alley, so to speak... okay enough rambling from me!
Thought for the day: One of the most valuable things we can do to heal on another is listen to each other's stories. ~
Factoid: "Beelzebub", another name for the devil, is Hebrew for "Lord of the Flies".
I kinda liked asking a question the other day, so I think I will do it agian... not sure if this will become a daily thing or not... feel free to answer here or just mull it over in your head... or answer it on your blog, or just ignore the question all together. lol... just figured it was a way to get to know the blog roll a little better.
Why do you blog?
I blog because well, I like to write, and I never have enough time to just sit down and write anything for fun. It is not poetry, or anything, but it does make me feel like I have done something for me. It is also away for me to work through some things. It gives me pause in a busy day, sanity in a crazy day, a smile in a lonely day, a lift in a low day. It also helps me feel somehow connected to those that I have met through blogging. :)

To me my blog is a place to write whatever I'm thinking about without being afraid of my friends, my family (the people I have to confront every day) to know about my little world. It's like a secret garden i think.
At the same time it's a way of meeting people that learn to know you by what you share with them. By what you trust to them. Unknown said...
Life can seem unbearable at times and prayer I find, is a powerful tool.
I love your keyboard, mine is getting a bit weird lately, it's old and some letters are sticking, so I want that button too!!!
Thanks for the lovely comment I read today many hugs to you!!! xxxx Unknown said...
May 2006 be a blast!
Caramel Popcorn...
I started out with It's Friday as my title, but I have already used this, so I tried It's Friday Again, and I have alreay used this, so i tried thank god it's Friday, and alas, that one too I have used... so you got the first random thought that came to my mind as a title. Not that I want any, it just flashed into my head....
the stream of conscious that led to that thought if I can remember... I was reading Jonathan's blog, and thought of Carmel... one of my coworkers mentioned lunch, and I thought of Poppycock, which is Caramel popcorn... so there you have it.
I thought this was appropriate, seeing as how our IT guy made us all change our passwords... For you Lar... lol :)
I had to post it, even though it is beyond New Year... too cute!
I am still feeling like Crapola today! I don't know what it is that I have caught, perhaps an upper respiratory infection, perhaps just sinus and allergy shite, but now it is settled in my chest as always, and I fear I have bronchitis. enough of the wowas me...
Postage is going up on the 8th... I have to go and buy some three cent stamps... Wow, it will now be 39 cents to mail a letter, what happened to going up 1 cent at a time... has it ever jumped a whole three cents? this reminds me of a ziggy cartoon, I wish I could find it... Something along the lines of, "Just when I thought I had the incoming enough to match the outgoing, I forgot to total in the postage" how true how true.
I am feeling a trite random today, my thoughts are almost as scattered on this screen as they are in my head. LOL!
It should be a good weekend. I am going to hang out with James at his house tonight, then I think tomorrow we are going to play disc golf. I can't wait! I sure hope I feel better by then! I need to go buy my books too, as school will be starting back on Monday. Next week is going to be busy, getting back into the swing of things and being all studious again. I have also been subpoenaed for trial on Wednesday in Volusia County in Reference to a case we had last year. This should be fun! I have everything prepared, and even know what I am going to wear. I can't discuss the details but I know that I have done my part to get them every scap of every record they could ever need for prosecution!
In other news, I had fallen off the nonsmokers band waggon, and was ashamed. But I picked up the pieces and got back on, and I am proud to say that it has been 6 days with NO cheating, not one drag from one stinky butt! I want to thank those who have had to put up with me, as I know that I can be a royal bitch... (royal...) I am thinking I have got it licked. I have been around it at work, and still have not even thought of going out there. Nor have I fed my face continually, which is customary for those who quit smoking. It is not an easy feat, but it is a good choice, and I plan to stick with it this time. This was a good time to quit, pretty much no stress, no school work, no pending tests or papers... just relaxing time out of school.
For once, I really did not miss school during the break. I stayed just as busy as when I am in school. I finally got to catch up on blogs today. It was nice!

Factoid: The ammunition belts in WWII aircraft were 27 feet long, reminiscent of the expression "the whole nine yards".
And a question I pose to the readers... what charecteristic do you value most in yourself?
For me, it is my stubborness. I simply don't give up, I set my mind to do something, and I by God do it, or exhaust all efforts trying. It bleeds over into other aspects of me as well, like if I tell you I am going to do something, I will. I guess determination is a better word than stubborn.
I have tried to take this whole blog thing and make it mine, and in doing so, I have found friends in unlikely places, developed bonds across oceans. You have all touched me in one way or another, and I thank you for that! A while ago, I posted something about my thoughts on the way people touch us. However brief the interaction with us is, every one leaves an imprint. It is like throwing a stone in the water. The ripples, though they seem small at first, you watch them grow, and the larger the pebble, the larger the ring of ripples.
Well folks, I really don't have anything else to talk about.

Well thanks for the caramel popcorn thing that's so cute I can't wait to tell Jonathan that! PS I love what you wrote on his blog hehehee. (the mob lol)
I am getting sick too, I don't know what it is, my glands are swollen, sore and big, ewww.
But hope that you feel better real soon!
Loved the Happy new year card it was gorgeous, my daughter really enjoyed that.
Have a great time with James, the blog mob thing applies to him too!!! xxxx Miss Me said...
I think my best characteristic is ehm… how do you call it. That I'm kinda down-to-earth. My dad sees all symbolic things in everything I just take everything as it comes. He's totally afraid of death. for me it's just a remainder of that I should get everything out of life. What I kinda did last night (will post it that story tonight) Unknown said...
I think my best characteristic is my ability to find the good side of every situation. x Oprayearth said...

The long awaited update!
Hola fellow bloggers! I am sorry for the lack of updates over the last 5 days or so... I have been one busy woman....
This weekend was like my life, generally compared to the speeding bullet train, had changed tracks and paces, something more like the train ride at Busch Gardens... slow and easy going, for the purposes of enjoyment alone!
Friday - Larry and I headed down to Cape Coral for a party, and to see Ruth. This was my main reason for going, and Larry just went so that I would not have to drive so far alone... Oh speaking of Lar, please give him a warm welcome back into the blogger realm! You can read his rendition of what happened here: My Ramblings... I have missed his blog posts!
Any how, the ride down was nice... we played a game of truth or truth, and to be honest, I think I pretty much knew all his truths... lol guess that is what being bestest pals is all about! Well Ruth and Andy met us at our hotel, and we headed to the party, where Ruth fell ill pretty quickly.
She did not even drink. I was sad, but still made the best of it, and had a few (a few too many) drinks. I was the only female our age there, as Ruth went to lay down, so I slipped out unnoticed to make a phone call. Hello James! The night was pretty blurry after that, as I really don't drink often, but I do remember Larry making me drink a lot of water (thank you Lar). I woke up the next day feeling not too poorly and we headed home, stopping at Tuesday's for lunch ~ bad idea... not long later, I am feeling the unfortunate affects of the combination of Tuesday's and drinking too much. We had to stop at a rest stop, where in, I felt much better after. When we finally got back to G-ville, we headed to the mall, as it is now New Years Eve, so that I could get a shirt (Larry ended up getting one too!)
Larry Dropped me off at James' house for ice skating (thus beggining date # 3). It was my first time at his house. He has a kayak in his living room, and it looks good there! I think we will get along just fine, lol! Ice skating in Florida in 80 degree weather, you would not think it was possible, but alas it is. James has never been, so this was fun. I am usually pretty steady on ice skates, but there was standing water on the rink, so it was a little slicker than usual. I tried to hold his hand to steady him.... big mistake... he just took us both down. It was quite funny him sitting in a puddle on his but, and me on my hands and knees in a puddle, laughing our asses off. I was still able to skate backwards and forwards and do a few spins, but not so gracefully. He dropped me by my house so I could get ready for the big night.
We all (Larry and his chick, James and I) headed to Friday's for dinner, and it was pretty good! Lar gave his seal of approval (thus far) on James, which is impressive. Then James and I went clubbing. We hit Durty Nelly's (an Irish pub), and what I thought was going to be a party from hell, Fusion... turned out to be quite dead. But it was kinda nice this way, we were able to steal away from the crowd for a new years kiss.... my first in a long time! :) We headed to the library (pub, grub and club) and danced till I was too drunk to stand anymore. LOL!
Gosh this only brings us to Sunday.... what did we do Sunday, slept late, went and grabbed lunch, watched tv, then he dropped me at my house so I could make us a new years dinner. Grilled pork chops, corn bread, black eyed peas and rice. Then we watched a couple of movies. It was a very relaxing day indeed. It was Monday though that seemed to be a perfect day! We slept in, got up and I made breakfast, went to his house to watch the Gator game (the Outback bowl) closing our season with 9 wins - 3 losses, any day the Gators win is a good day in my book. They played hard!
After that we took Draco for a nature hike on a trail in a park near my house... went shopping, and saw a double rainbow!
Then headed back to his house to change for dinner. He took me to the nicest seafood place called Ballyhoos, where I had Alaskan Snow Crab, and he showed me how to eat it. I made a huge mess and it was totally socially acceptable.... LOL!
Did I mention what we went shopping for? Discs, he got a set of discs so that we can go play disc golf! I will finally be able to use the set I got for my birthday in April.... lol, I also bought a couple of extras (finally) so that two people can play with just my set.
Yesterday was back to work, but I did not mind, like I said this is the busiest time of year for me at work. And this was my view on the drive there.
I came home and made dinner and a carrot cake, and fed both James and Larry! It is nice cooking for more than just one person. I don't have a lot of time to do it during the semester, so between semesters is fun! I was starting to feel like maybe I was getting a sinus infection though. I woke up 50 times last night with my throat killing me. finally this morning I called work and told them I would not be in. My poor throat is so swollen and inflamed it hurts to swallow. I am really aggravated, becuase I had lots of stuff to do today at work. But instead I have spent the entire day in bed. Some of it just laying here, most of it sleeping, and some playing on the computer. lol! I was supposed to make dinner tonight too, but I don't want to get anyone else sick, nor do I really feel like being in the kitchen standing that long~
Well, that brings us up to date...
Thought for the day: A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes ~Hugh Downs
Factiod: Antartica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country. It is a place that nobody wants, but then some of them don't want anyone else to have it either. As a consequence, several countries with scientific and other interests ave signed treaties stating that no one of them owns the region/continent, and that research may be carried out by anyone.

Bringing in the New Year
This weekend was totally awesome! I honestly started the New Year on the right foot! I hope that this is a sign of the year to come! My New Year celebration started Friday and did not end until yesterday evening! lol... I will tell you all about it I promise! But right now is also the busiest time of the year for me at work, moving cases, making new logs, closing out old logs, analyzing crime and accident stats, Creating charts to compare case loads, UCR... basically wrapping up the old year, and preparing for this new one!
I will try to give a proper update, and go browsing through all the blog posts that I missed this weekend. I missed you guys, and hope that your new year started off as good as mine did!
Later loves!

It's sounding good with James, he must be a sweetheart. It's ok to take your time, and enjoy yourself together, things will just "happen"
So now we know his status is "boyfriend" ;)
Wow that is so interesting about the investigation related work! IT takes alot i'm sure. And you took a missing persons call! Goodness, your job sounds great.
More Spanish words, i'm learnin for free!
Yes I liked pac man, and the girl one, I did the dork thing in the 80's too. :D
5:39 PM
now wait a minute!...cats are evil??
Ok cats are very evil, my cat turns into a monster and steps on me when I try to sleep, jumps on me and tries to lick me.
Bad cat, maybe i'm attracted to fluffy evil. ;)

I'm glad that your happy with the status of you and James and the whole analogy of buying a house to a relationship is just brilliant, really its the truth.I love pacman, I didn't know they had actual names.

Ah, now pac man brings back the memories. For me, it's more Ms. Pacman, though. I used to play that game with my dad when I was young. I love the 80s. I can't say why except that it coincided with my childhood, so perhaps I'm a bit sentimental.
4:07 PM
Learning Spanish I remember as being relaxing, like a crossword puzzle because, unlike English, it's logical - more or less.

Cats-undivided attention= pure evil.
I know I have three!
Congrats on your new man!
3:16 AM
Well boyfriend sounds pretty great. Your entry really reminds me of the talk I and two of my best friends had last night.
One of them is liking this guy, but she's really afraid of opening up to him and letting him in her heart, because her father and ex-boyfriend have died (she's 16) and she's so afraid of getting attached to this guy and losing him.
But I'm really proud of you being supersmart and really liking school.
