August 30, 2010/A Day of Mourning

So, I really don't have much to write about today. Didn't do much until the evening and when I went out this evening, I did a lot of crying. I visited James' grave site for the first time. He died one year ago today... So my friend Juliet and I went out for the first time together and then went and visited the crash site again before calling it a night. Tomorrow we plan on going out and listening to some music with him.

But we went out and lit some candles and his prents came over shortly after we left and his dad left me a message saying that he loved the candles. I thought they were perfect.

Juliet and I did a lot of crying. There were other people out there when we got there so I can't wait to go out there tomorrow and actually get to talk to him.

Love you James. Miss you so much that it hurts!!!

August 27, 2010/Clueless

I really don't know what to write about today.

My puppies kept me up most of the night and then I worked in the morning and after that, I came home and got changed and ready to hangout with Juliet... We went back to James' crash site and brought some more candles with us... There were no candles lit tonight so we relit the four the we had left the night before.

But tomorrow is the benefit at our local skate park in memory of James and I can WAIT!!! So, for my photo today, I just decided that I would post a pick of my tattoo since I did get it in memory of James =)

So we never forget =)

Oh and I forgot to write in my post yesterday, it took a year but it finally happened! We are finally getting justice for James!! The driver of the car that hit James has been indicted on two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol!!!

JUSTICE FOR JAMES!!!

August 26, 2010/6 Days Late/RIP James

Yeah, I kind of got sick for a while and forgot to keep posting but I remembered today cuz today is a sad day and a day a rememberance.

On this day, one year ago, there was a women who decided that she was going to have a little too much alcohol to drink. After she drank that alcohol, she decided to get behind the wheel of her car, and the one decision changed the lives of an uncountable amount of people.

"James Short, age 24, of New Philadelphia Ohio (Mar. 18, 1985-Aug 30, 20), was a professional roller blader and musician who was hit by a drunk driver, only a few blocks from his home, while on his motorcycle on Wednesday, August 26, 2009. He died from a head injury on August 30, 2009. Doris Caranda age 48 was the driver, with a blood alcohol level of .221, and bag of marijuana in the car, as well as a prior DUI. (ohio legal limit is .08). He was sponsored by many companies in his career, including Xjsado and Remz skates, 9mm, Ground Control, SIC Apparel, and INRI Cloth. He recorded many original songs and had a CD released posthumously. The James Short Memorial Skate Session is held yearly near the anniversary of his death each August in his area."

This year, I actually got to go to his candle light memorial and I took pictures and left a few candles of my own. James was just my friend in passing but the things that we got to talk about and the impact he left on my life will never leave me the same person I was before. I miss him dearly and wish that one day, when I went back to the skate park, that he would be there, skating around on the ramps. Deeply missed and loved =' ) Life have never been the same since.

You will always be missed.

August 20, 2010/I lose. Haha

Well, first off, I didn't post anything for yesterday and didn't even remember to post anything earlier today for it...  Had an awkward and busy morning. But today was my mom's birthday so there is something good and normal to talk about. But as for waking up this morning and finding what I found, it's weird...

I found Jethrow.

Jethrow is one of the bulls that inhabit the field next to my horses field. He'e kind of an escape artist. But this morning we found him IN out horse field. He was just chillin in the corner. He's a big teddy bear though. But as of the time that I left for work, he was under out apple trees helping himself to the apples because our neighbor hadn't came and escorted him to his field yet. Actually, it is almost 2am and for all I know, he is still in the field... Haha. But I decided that I would post a picture of Jethrow standing in my horse field today. Haha

This pic does not do justice for Jethrow... It makes him look very thin the way they compressed it together. Jethrow is a Bull ladies and Gents... He's friggen HUGE!!! Haha. That fence beside him is approx. 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall to give you an idea of how tall he is.

August 18, 2010/Another Birthday =)

On this date, four years ago, two things happened...

Well, the first thing that happened was, I got my tounge pierced =) But the best thing that happened, happened later in the night... I believe it was in the 11 o'clock hour, but I would have to ask my sister-in-law to be sure, but my first nephew was born.

And my life was never the same after that. William is the oldest of three and he is so far the most rotten.

So to celebrate his birthday, I will post a picture that I stole from Kayla's facebook... Haha.

KAYLA!!! I AM SORRY IF YOU ARE USING THIS PICTURE ALSO!!! But it was just too cute to pass up. Haha.

August 17, 2010/Ouch =(

You know, two years ago I got my left bottom wisdom tooth pulled becasue I was having so many issues with it. Well, it wasn't all that bad after a while. I didn't even need any pain killers with that tooth and by day 2, I felt nothing and went on good from that.


Well today, I had the other bottom one removed... Needless to say, this one didn't come out quite as easy as the other tooth did. It took the hottie dentist 30 minutes to get my tooth out. It was very painful. It started with the pushing, like always. He pushed and tried to break it loose to pull out. Well, that didn't work. I knew there was going to be issues when I heard the stereotypical phrase, "Scapel!" And in my mind I went, "Oh shit!"


Well, looking in my outh later, I noticed that he made an incision from back beside my tooth all the way up to my third molar so that my he could see the bone. Then he did more digging and more pushing and then he did something that kind of made my heart race... He tested the drill... That was not a pleasant feeling when he started drilling my tooth. then I could heat some cracking and there was more tugging and pressure when finally I hear the dentist assistant say, "I don't see any more." I breathed a major sigh of relief. So, he sewed my gum up and then I was ready to leave. He let me know everything I could and could not do for the next week and then let me leave with a perscription for vicodin in hand.


So now I sit here, mouth throbbing even with vicodin and Ibprofen running through my system. Trying to relax while watching Psych but these puppies definently aren't letting me do that. Haha. But now I need a pic to post and I thought about taking a pic of my stitches but I figured that would be a little gross so instead I am going to post a pick of the things making me just a bit happier =)

Mmm... My friends =)

August 16, 2010/Slow Day

It's been a really slow but sorta busy day today.

Those rotten puppies had me up at 5:30a cuz they had to go to the bathroom and when we finally got back to bed at 6, we had to get up at 7:30a. My grandpa had an eye dr. appointment so I had to do the things that he usually did in the morning. So, I fed the pups while I went outside and fed the other animals.
Then when they were done, I let them play a bit more until they went potty and started to wear down. We finally got to go back to bed around 8:30a. But the big dogs downstairs barked aobut every half an hour because they were waiting for my grandpa to get home, so when he finally got home, they shut up. Haha.

Well, finally I got them to go asleep and stay asleep. Although they did wake up about every hours to have a short wrestling match and then they fell back asleep.Well, we all finally got up at 11:30a and came downstairs so they could go back outside and play again. That routine stays until about 3p when we packed up the puppies to go visit my brothers girlfriend and her sons. Needless to say, Quinten didn't enjoy the ride but when we got there, him and Sophie  just played and played and kept the two boys that were there, very busy. Haha.

Then we went to Petz Place to buy them some toys that they could chew on and they've been busy with those ever since. I am just waiting for them to wake up now so that they can eat one last time for the day. Haha. So, I will just have to post another pick of my rotten babes since that's what I have been going on and on about =)

Poor hard workin' puppies =)

August 14th and 15th, 2010/Birthday Party and Puppies

August 14, 2010

Well, obviuosly this post is a little late, but it will be worth it. Yesterday was a busy day. William and Octavius had their birthday party and had sooo much fun. They were so entertaining. They had it at the building where William has Tae Kwon Do classes. Definantly wore the kids out. Needless to say, they got plenty of toys and fun stuff to keep them busy for a few weeks so, that's good. Haha.

My photo is of the two birthday boy on there side of there cake.

August 15, 2010

Today was a fun day. Not saying that my job is very fun but I did have to go do that for a few hours but the most fun thing I did today is, I got to go pick up my puppies Quinten and Sophie <3

Quinten is mine and Sophie is my mothers birthday gift =)

They have slept most of the time since we brought them home but they did get a good bath. They are 6 weeks old. They were born July 3rd and they are too cute. Sophie is colored like her mother and is mostly black and Quinten is colored like his father and is mostly tan. They are just too cute. So that is my picture for today =)

August 13, 2010/Another Boring Friday night

What a lame day today has been.

I did get to see Octavius and Xavier for a bit today but other then that, nothing fun has happened.

Today was the day that I was actually suppose to go and find a birthday gift for him and William since their birthday party is tomorrow, but didn't get to do that, so unfortunantly, I am going to have to rush tomorrow and find them something. I have an idea of what to get Octavius but no real idea as to what to get William. I guess I am just going to have to use my imagination with that kid. I assume it will probably be something that is associated with Bumblebee since that is his and my favorite Transformer... Haha.

So, for now, I think and leave you with a picture of something that I have yet to figure out what yet... Haha.

XAVIER KOLE!!! tOO Cute =)

August 12, 2010/ Birthday Boy =)

Well, I was so tired yesterday that I had forgotten about the most important picture I could've posted... Yesterday was my nephew, Octavius', 2nd birthday... He is officially in the terrible two's but he is just to damn cute. He has to do everything that his big brother does and he loves his little brother... They are all jsut too cute but since yesterday was his birthday and I didn't post a pic of him yesterday, I am going to post one of him today. =)

August 11, 2010/Chillin with the "girls" =)

I'm sitting here watching Pretty Little Liars with Mikey, Kayla, and Billy... This is really a good show. I need to get caught up because I am actually pretty far behind on what is going on here... Haha. And in between the show are previews of Vampire's Suck and it is killing me! I wanna see this movie soooo bad! It's looks SOOOOOO GOOD! Bahahaha! But with what I am talking about, I really don't have a picture that I can place with it... I could probably find something to post, but I can't promise that it has anything to do with my post... Haha!

I know it has nothing to do with it but this photo that I took was funny =)

August 10, 2010/Pittsburgh Zoo

Today was such a good day. We had so much fun at the zoo. By the time we left, Octavius was slowly falling alseep in his stroller. It was nice.

The boys loved seeing all the animals and even Xavier got into looking in the aquariums and seeing the brightlyy colored fish. But William was so excited to see the Elephants and Giraffes... But I was sad that the Zebras have been moved to Ogleby until the enclosure is enlarged =( But this is the first photo I took today and it was just too cute =)

William is holding Xavier while Octavius pretends to smile =)

And now it is time to relax more =)

August 9, 2010/Countdown continues...

6 hours 45 minutes and counting...


At 7am, my mother and I are leaving to meet my brother, sister-in-law and 3 nephews at their house so that we can head off to the Pittsburgh Zoo... I can't wait... I am too uber excited!


Last time we went to the zoo, it was before my brother went off to boot camp and that was about two years ago becasue Octavius was only a few months old... But since Octavius is going to be 2 on Wednesday and William is going to be 4 on the 18th, we decided that right now we would take them for their birthday... I think they might be excited also.


The greatest thing is, is that those two are going to want to ride with me and my mom and so I will be listening to their cd that I made them... Haha. It's going to be EXCITING!!!


Haha. So instead of taking a photo and posting it, I just decided that I am going to post their logo for now so that tomorrow, well later today, I can post a picture of the boys at the zoo =)

My late post for August 8th, 2010

Yeah yeah, my post is late, Haha. but the thing that sucked is the fact that I had my pictures all ready, but I just got so busy yesterday that I didn't even realize I hadn't done it until after I had already shut my computer down and then I was too tired to wait for it to load all the way back up. Haha.

Yesterday, let's see, mainly my busy time was going to work and then having a meeting at work, and then coming home and listening to mom complain about all sorts of stuff and then starting the list and locating most of the things we need for the Zoo on Tuesday. We are so excited to go. It's been forever since I have been to the Pittsburgh Zoo so we are going for my nephews birthdays =) It's so exciting.

But the pictures I have to post for yesterday is some of my dogs because they are bad and were actually all behaving long enough for me to get nice pics of them so I wanted to post them =)

August 7, 2010/Mikey's 21st!!!

Today is August 7th... Mikey's birthday was actually 5th but since it is the weekend now, we are celebrating... Hahaha. So, this is my poison that I have chosen for the evening... I may have something else also but Coor Light is my FAVE!!! Haha. But that is about all I can post now for we are waiting for everyone else and they are starting to show up now =)

August 6th, 2010/Purse Party

Well, what about today. Today was suppose to be a fun day but instead ot was disappointing. I went to my friends Purse Party, and it was fun, but it was disappointing in the fact that no body showed up...

I know that would piss me off.

We did have a random passerby show up and buy some stuff and I bought a pretty T&CO necklace (which I LOVE) but I guess it will be okay in the long run. We are planning on having another one in November so that we can try and get more people to come and buy Christmas gifts... But until then, we will just figure out how to get more people to come =)

August 5, 2010

Today has been an annoying day. I know that right now it is techniqually the 6th but it is still the 5th to me...

Today has been one of those days where I am just wish that I could've forgot. I feel like booboo...

I have major mouth issues with my wisdom tooth and am being annoyed to death by my mother. But since I had to work today, I am decided to put a picture of my work logo,well sorta. I got the idea from a friend of mine and that was a smart idea but since I don't have an actual logo photo, I decided to post the next best thing. (I was going to take a picture of my name tag but I left it out in my car and that is too far away for me to walk... Haha.) But since Edward is making my nest on my lap, I am going to post my picture and head off to bed. I'll get a better picture tomorrow of something that is going to take up part of my evening =)

The GameStop Money Bunny =)

August 4, 2010/Casual Summer Fun =)

Not really much we can do outside today. As of about thirty minutes ago, it started raining outside again but this day is different from yesterday as it is storming... I love storms. So in order to continue my challenge, I went and took a picture of the rain... I actually have 2 pictures but Idk if the other one turned out well so I may not post it. But I love standing out in the rain =)

So, I tried to post 2 but for some reason, the other one didn't post =( Let's try it again =)

There is it. It's not the best pic but it's prettier in person. I love the rain =)

I wish I would've gotten the perspective from the other side of my property but the rain went from a slow rain to a down pour so i went into the house. But there ya go, pretty picture of the rain =)

August 3, 2010/Rain rain rain

What a miserable day. It's not that I don't like rain because I do, it's just, I hate when it drizzles because that just makes the humidity worse... There is a way to make this day bareable... I love my tea... Mmm.

I'm not quite sure what's going on today because my mother has to work tonight and I don't think I have the patients to have an evening like I had last night.
I hate the fact that every time I go over to my friends house, someone always has to be drinking.

Don't get me wrong, I don't Not like drinking, I just don't like drinking all the time. We always plan to watch movies and that never happens either. It gets old.

But for now, I am just going to sit here and drink my Pomegranate Green Tea and watch Cold Case and figure out later what I am going to do next.

August 2, 2010/Boring so far

It's only the early afternoon and already my day has been unproductive, Haha. Right now I am sitting on my couch watch Victorious because nothing else is on TV right now. Yeah, The Closer is probably on but that would mean picking up the remote and changing it. I do have a Hello Kitty stamp on my hand that my oldest nephew thought I needed. I let him take it home with him because he wanted it. Haha. He's too adorable. But as of now I am just sitting here drinking my most faovite of soda. Mmm. Mountian Dew Throwback... It's yummy.

It's too yummy.

But for now, I think I may get outside and mow the lawn before it gets so tall that we lose our feet as we walk. Haha.

Lazy Summer Picture =) 8-1-10

My example photo for what today has been... A lazy, lazy day... Although, they weren't lazy for very long and I actually took this photo on my way out of the house when I was heading to a hair appointment. Haha. But my babies are often lazy =)

Beginners Luck

So, now that I am here and now that I am getting all this ready, what is there to say or do. Well, I decided to make this today since today is the start of a new month. It is officially August and I have a lot this month that I can blog about. Many things to look forward to. Celebrations of both life and death and so on and so forth... But as of now, I am waiting for the final portion of X-Games 16 to start but the U.S. Open has to end first... This gets agrivating sometimes. But since I made this, I must find the perfect photo to start this off just to show what kind of day this day has been so far. Now off to take a photo!
