New Year 2010

Goals for 2010:

Get out of Bellbrook Massage Therapy. The owner there treats people like garbage.

Go to Florida to see Trevor, Sarah, Erin, and Isaac.

John will get a good job.:-) and I won't miss him to much while he at the academy.

Get back to Wrightsville Beach for Family Vacation

Trevor and Brigette will be EMPLOYED.

To not let petty immature retardedness get to me. I have wasted to much energy being loving and caring to people to don't love or care about me.

Take time for myself more, I give give and give to people (massage)...I need to make the time to get one regularly.

Rekindle relationships with my college friends I haven't seen in a while.

Live, Laugh, Love

Holly Jolly Christmas in the Tundra

Well today is my last day of working at Cedarville until Jan 4th. 2 weeks OFF! Gotta love working in a school and getting Christmas break. I still will be doing massage a few days a week, a few hours here and there, nothing big. Next wednesday, I leave for the North Pole, aka WI and MN. Yes Santa most likely lives there because when he heads north after delivering presents, he gets to MN and WI and is like "well I made it, its freezing, this must be it."

No me gusta la TUNDRA

Worlds Longest...

HEADACHE. I have had a headache since the day after Thanksgiving. It comes and lets up, but will never go away. I am so sick of feeling as though a railroad spike is jamming itself from the base of my skull, through my head, and out my eye. On top of that, it also feels as though I am giving an elephant a piggy back ride and his tusks are jamming the back of my neck. I broke down and made an appointment with my chiropractor because this is getting ridiculous. The 12 day headache. Gotta love it.

I want to get electric grass so the snow melts immediatly

I do not like snow. I was late for work, because I had no idea it had snowed until I opened the front door to go get into my car. Snow is dumb. Its cold, wet, cold, gets nasty and black in a few days, cold, freezing, cold, pain the neck, cold. I want to move to a place where its not. Lets move to Ecuador. BTW, there will be no snow in heaven, I'm convinced.

Holiday cheer is very near

Well Halloween is over so now the countdown to the good holidays (aka the ones with good food) begins. Thanksgiving will be spent at my cousins boyfriends house. Lots of food, family, and food...oh I already said that. Christmas I will spend in Wisconsin and Minnesota with Johns extended family. I'm looking forward to it. I've never been to either of those states. Well, I was in MN getting a connecting flight to L.A. Anyway, I have this sneaking suspicion that I will enjoy the holiday meeting his family...but WI and MN are COLD! and I HATE COLD! HATE HATE HATE it! At least its been 50's and 60's in Ohio lately. 68 some days. I'm holding on to the warm as long as I can..because I HATE COLD...oh I said that already.

We're back. 6th in the WORLD!
Had a blast.
7,000 women.
Set a Guinness World Record for the largest singing lesson.

Dear Lord, I trust you

⁵ But if any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He is generous to everyone and will give you wisdom without criticizing you. ⁶ But when you ask God, you must believe and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea, blown up and down by the wind.^7-8 Such doubters are thinking two different things at the same time, and they cannot decide about anything they do. They should not think they will receive anything from the Lord.

16 days...

...and I am Nashville Bound. I'm exhausted from all the extra rehearsals. But we can't stop now!!! We're so close ...I can smell that gold medal. *crosses fingers*
We had our dress rehearsal last night. Full run of all songs. Cramped on stage, foot got mowed over by a character shoe heal. Oh it hurts. Lots of advil.
The rehearsal went well. One of our coaches who is also a sound judge for nashville scored us at a 90. So we have 2 and a half weeks to get that up to 100.
LETS DO IT.

Nashville, sparkles, red lipstick, and Chordgasms

One month from today, Brigette and I will be accompanying the Gem City Chorus to Nashville to compete against womens choruses all over the country and world for that matter to hopefully bring home a gold medal. We have been working on this for a year and a half, and we are on the home stretch doing 2-3 rehearsals a week instead of our usual 1 hour. We are also rehearsing from 6 or 6:30 until 10:30 most times instead of our usual 7-10. We've hired and flown in coaches from all around the U.S. to help us prepare. I can't believe when its finally here it will all be over in about 5 minutes. A 5 minute set will win or lose it for us. For those interested, we have a dress rehearsal/send-off for Nashville. Come support us and see us get all gussied up in borderline hooker make-up and lots of sequins and sparkles to bust out all our contest songs. Oh how I have missed the thrill of performing in costume with lots of lights, sparkle, choreography, overtones, AND UNDERTONES!!! Ah yes, a sweet rarity, but we've made 'em and they'll rattle your knees, and create a (in the mighty words of our chorus) a CHORDGASM.

All of us will appreciate your prayers as we fight for harmonious gold,

15 Random Things to Do in Wal-mart

Found this online. I laughed a lot.
So I wanted to share.

1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in peoples carts when they aren't looking.

2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.

4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares . . . and see what happens.

5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.

6. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.

8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

9. Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.

10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.

11. Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.

12. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME!"

14. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!"

And, last, but not least!

15. Go into a fitting room, shut the door and wait a while; and then yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

Four wheeling adventures

I roughed it this weekend. Hard core. No electric or water. I have never appreciated a toilet more than I do now. A weekend of outhouses... So its time for bed. I walk to the outhouse. I'm about to sit down (which I already have trouble sitting on a mud hole for all the bugs to stare up at my arse) and I see to yellow and brown striped legs sticking out from under the toilet seat. ..Um, yeah, like I'm putting my ol' behind down to get it bitten off by the toilet monster a.k.a. a "wood spider" (trevor said that's what it was)...anyway I didn't go in there the rest of the weekend. I peed in a cup in the cabin and dumped it out the door into the woods.

When I wasn't fighting off toilet monsters, I was out on a four wheeler with my loving husband, sister and brother in law, cousin and her boyfriend, enjoying the Ohio countryside offroading through the hills, mud, etc. It was beautiful.

Xanga just got stupid
