Merry Christmas to all . . .

I hope this post finds that you all have had a very merry Christmas. For me, I had to work today, but it's really no big deal. I'm going to Kansas tomorrow to spend the first half of the week with family. It will be nice. I'm looking forward to spending time with my grandparents and parents and anyone else who happens to be there! Since my last post, my 29th birthday has come and gone. That's correct, I am officially in my last 20 something year, as my daddy put it. I didn't have to work on my birthday. Just kinda took it easy. I did get some help getting my desk area done in the house and amid all the rumble have again misplaced my camera. I will post pictures as soon as I find it! Sorry to keep your hopes up, but that will give me a chance to get it organized and looking spiffy before I show it to you!

The days are rapidly flying by as January 17th quickly approaches. I still have a lot to do, but have so much already done. I still feel like I'm in a dream. Talk to me this time next year and I'll let you know if the dream is real or if it is a nightmare.

I will leave you be for now. Thank you as always for listening to me ramble. I do wish you all a very happy holiday season. I look forward to hearing from all you soon! Take care and God bless!

My tree






Thought I would post a few pics of my tree and a few of my decorations and a pic of the family from thanksgiving. (Sorry it's taken so long). I found out yesterday that I got A's in both my classes. Now I just have to get through 4 more semesters and then pass the NCLEX and I can start the rest of my life. Have a great day!

Finished

Well, I am actually completely and entirely finished for the semester. I was able to complete my computer class today by finishing one last little project. Then after our chemisty lecture final, our professor allowed us to take our lab practical early since we missed class on Wednesday because of the ice. So, I opted to take the lab practical (because it was open note and open book - besides who could refuse that!), and now I am finished! I love this time of the semester because you have a feeling of accomplishment. I think I may have even pulled off A's in both classes! (I know, for those of you who know me well, this is a BIG accomplishment! Ha!) Now, I have to continue getting ready for nursing school. The time is drawing near. I have received my beautiful white uniforms (picture to follow eventually) and and slowly but surely collecting my books. Today was the first day our cd of our syallbi for our classes was available. That's right, our syallbi are so long and in depth that they give them to us on cd! I have printed two of the three. I get overwhelmed at times, but then I jump back to reality and realize that I can do this! (Thanks to all my wonderful supporters and cheerleaders out there!) I guess I have rambled enough for now. I will check in with you again soon. Enjoy hearing from me so often because I'm sure once nursing school starts, you'll be lucky if you hear from me once a week! LOL!

Ouch!

Ok, so my car accident wasn't quite just a bump to my vehicle. It seems that it has also affected me. I worked on Thursday - a full 12 hour shift and by mid-day I didn't think I was going to make it. I took motrin, but it didn't help. By 6:30, I was finished. I went downstairs to the ER and registered (after talking to my insurance company and the other driver's insurance company to make sure I would get my money back). My lower back hurts so bad I can hardly stand it. Of course they did xrays and such. Those came back normal. The dr said my pain is probably muscular and I needed to take two or three days off of work. Gave me a muscle relaxer and pain pill and sent me on my way. Thankfully I have a wonderful friend who came and sat with me because there was no way I was driving home! She dropped me off at home and then went and filled my pills. I haven't been in this much pain in a really long time. It has to go away. I can't afford to miss this much work, but I can't work in this much pain. I wouldn't be any good to anyone. So, in the mean time I get to rest and hopefully finish up my computer class.

I just got off the phone with my sweet nephew, Devon. He asked me if I was feeling better and I told him what happened with the car accident. His reply was "That wasn't very nice!" Then I had to explain that it was icy and slippery and all that fun stuff. Now Carla will probably have to go back and do some more explaining because I think Devon thought the car actually hit me instead of my car.

I hope you all have a great night. I'm going to take more medicine and get ready to rest some more!

Let It Snow!

Well, winter has officially arrived in Texas. And along with winter comes bad weather. And along with bad weather comes bad roads. And along with bad roads comes accidents. That's right, I was rear-ended on my way home from school today. But, don't worry, I'm fine. My CRV is ok, just has a little bit of damage to the muffler and the bumper. Unfortuately, on Monday, my next day off, I'm afraid everyone else will be taking their cars in from their fender benders. The only thing I'm glad about is that I didn't hit someone and that neither one of us was hurt. The plan for tonight is to stay inside while it ices and snows outside. I'll have to leave for work extra early in the morning. Gotta let the car warm up so I don't have to scrape ice and then have to drive really slow so that I don't hit anyone! Other than that, I love winter! It's cold outside and warm inside.

I got my Christmas tree decorated last night. It brought back lots of childhood memories. This is the first tree that I've done in several years, so I didn't realize how many ornaments I had from when I was a kid. It looks good. As soon as I remember where I put the camera from Thanksgiving, I'll post some pics of the tree and also of Thanksgiving.

I hope you all stay nice and warm. Have a great night.

Big plans ahead . . .

Ok, since I haven't posted in awhile, I thought I would let you know about the ideas floating around in my head. I have had one of those massive brain storming days. Everywhere I go and everything I do brings another thought to my head that I need to get done before nursing school starts. To start with I have this grand idea of making a desk by attaching shelves at desk level to the wall. At first I wanted to do it at the bar area in the living room, but the more I've thought about it the more I want it done in the dining room. I have a table up, but I never use it. Why waste space? I need to be as organized and together as I can be for this two year venture. So after I get this project finished (with the help of a few friends from school whose husbands know how to use power tools properly), I have to get it organized with the proper supplies and such. I have to get tray organizers, staplers, hole punchers, etc. The list keeps growing, but by the time I finish, I will have the perfect office!

The other thing I have to do is get my notebooks and such in order. For me to do that, I have to spend massive amounts of time with my friend, Holly, who is a semester ahead of me in nursing school. This is a big benefit for me. I have insight on how things are going to work. Holly has also taken several classes with me, so she knows how I organize and take notes and such. This also is a huge benefit. We spent almost half an hour tonight (while I was on my way home from school) talking about what I need to get and shouldn't waste my time on.

Anyway, my mind is racing, I hate to bore you with all the things I have to do. As always, please feel free to donate to the nursing school fund via cash, check or paypal at any time (lol). I'm always open to donations! I hope you are doing well! Until next time!

Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!

I figured I probably won't have a chance to post tomorrow seeing that it is Thanksgiving and I do have a big family dinner planned. I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all the best this holiday season. I am so thnakfulfor each and everyone of you, my friends and family. Thank you all for being there for me through everything.

That being said, I ask that you all pray for me as I struggle to get well. I'm having a hard time dealing with this cough and it not going away. Thankfully, we did a chest xray today and I do not have pneumonia. I guess we'll just keep shooting at the wind until we figure out what's causing this.

Again, I hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to seeing my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sister, brother-in-law and nephew. Hopefully I'll come back with some good pictures for you all to see. Until then, have a great time!

I'm here

Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted, but on top of trying to get Derby situated and used to being held, I've been trying to fight off a bad cough. I went back to the dr today and she said I can't go anywhere until Wednesday at the earliest. That messes up my whole week. I was supposed to spend Tuesday and Wednesday in Waco with Mom, Dad, Grandmother and Granddaddy. But now I can't. Thankfully my dr. is trying to figure out what's going on. I just wanted to check in and I will let you know how I'm doing throughout the week.

Drumroll please . . . .





I finally picked out a name. His name is Derby. He runs around his cage like crazy, especially when I'm trying to get him out. He is too cute. These pics turned out a little dark, so I'll try again tomorrow with natural light, but you kinda get the picture. He's a sweetheart and LOVES carrots. I was trying to get him to eat it, but he wouldn't, so we'll try again later. Thanks for letting me share my stories of Derby with you and thank you for all your input about his name.

No Name Update

While I still haven't picked out a name for my new guinea pig, I thought i would update you on our bonding. He is a sweet natured pig. He loves to snuggle on my shoulder underneath my hair. I got him to talk to me last night and he ate a baby carrot out of my hand. I'm really glad about that because Petey wouldn't eat fresh fruits or vegetables. For the first time tonight, he is eating pellets out of his bowl while I am in the room. It won't be long and he'll be crying for me when I come in the door. I've started leaving the tv on the classical music station to help calm him down and I really thinks it's working. Give me a couple more days and hopefully I'll have some pics and a name.

Right now I'm considering a few of the following:
Piglet
Pumpkin (his brown stripes are almost pumpkin colored)
Brownie (kinda a deviation on Devon's "Black")
I've called him "pookie" as a nickname, but I don't think I want that to be his name. If you have any ingenius ideas, let me know. I look forward to your insight. Until next time.

Moving On

Well, I did it. I went and got a new guniea pig. It's a boy. I haven't picked a name out, but he's gorgeous. He is black with brown stripes and a white spot right above his nose, just like Petey had. I got his cage set up and just don't want to put him in it. Right now his favorite spot is on my shoulder under my hair. He makes great noises and will be wonderful! I'll post pictures as soon as I find my camera! Until next time!

Up and Running Again . . .

I just want to thank you all again for your kind words during my loss. It's been tough, but I think I've made it through. I also think I've decided that I'm going to get another guinea pig. I can't stand coming home to such a quiet house. It's insanely quiet. I didn't realize how much noise Petey made until he was gone. Until I decide for sure what I'm going to do, I keep the tv or radio on at all times. It helps some, but not like Petey did.

After a long fight with the store yesterday, I have my loaner computer. It turns out that they have to ship my computer back to the manufacturer to have the motherboard replaced because they don't keep it in stock, or some craziness like that. Unfortunately, it also means I'll be without my computer for 6-8 weeks. I came home from work tonight and hooked everything up. Thankfully this one works. I reset all my favorites (at least I think I got most of them). It'll be perfect by the time I get mine back then I'll have to get mine reset again. Ugghhh! Oh well, at least I'm back online and I'll be able to finish my online class without having to go to school! Isn't that the whole point of taking an online class?

If you haven't had a chance to check out the websites of my niece and nephew, I would encourage you to do so. Devon's Halloween pics are up and he's a doll! BTW, I talked to him after Petey died and he was so sweet. He said, "Pickle, did your pig die?" I said, "Yes, my pig died". He said, "Pickle, I am soooo sorry!". It was so sweet! He told me that I should get another pig or a little dog that was nice and I told him I was still trying to decide what I was going to do.

Well, I must close for the night. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep you more up-to-date now that I have a computer

BTW, happy late b-day sis!

Still hurting

I'm sorry I haven't responded to each of your comments, but my computer at home has crashed and it is in the shop being fixed. I am at the school library supposed to be doing homework, but I wanted to thank you all for your kind words of sympathy. It is still hard to go home at night. It is hard to open a bag of chips without wondering where Petey's little cry is, but I'm managing ok. I just keep working and going to school. Everything is going to work out. It always does. It is just nice to know that I have so many friends and family that love me.

In case I'm not able to post for a few more days, I hope everyone has a very happy Halloween. This is my favorite night of the year (tonight is) because we get an extra hour of sleep! Woo Hoo! Have a great night everyone and thanks again!

Goodbye, my friend! :`(

I came home last night and was upset. I didn't have a great day at work, but when I opened my door, I didn't have the normal greeting I normally get from my sweet Petey. Petey is my guinea pig I have had for four years. He whines and cries until I feed and water him when I get home. After I put my things down and went to the bathroom, I checked on him. He didn't look good at all. He had gunk in his eyes and just wasn't himself. He wouldn't respond to my calls or anything. I picked him up and just about went hysterical. I started crying and was really worried, so I called one of my friends, Ann, who has experience with little critters. We talked for a good while and I got him to drink a little water out of a straw and got his eyes cleaned out. I just sat on the couch with him on my chest for a long time. I petted him and loved on him until I had to go to bed. When I put him back in his clean cage with lots of water and food, he was a little bit limp, but mostly tired. This is unusual because he is normally panicing to get back into his home. I made him comfortable (or what I thought looked comfy), covered him with his favorite igloo and proceeded to go to bed. About 5:00 this morning I woke up from a dead sleep with a sick feeling. I came to the living room to check on him and he was dead. His eyes are closed and he looks like he is sleeping, but Petey never sleeps. If I so much as open his cage, he jumps and tries to run away from me. I just covered him back up and tried to go back to sleep. I'm so sad today because I've lost a friend. A friend I've nursed back to health and almost lost once. He's been there through my divorice and through school and through all those late nights I couldn't sleep because of the strange noises I was hearing when I was getting used to living on my own. I love you Petey! I'm going to miss you!

Orientation has come and gone!

Wow! I just thought I knew what I was getting into! I know this is going to be crazy, but does anyone know a multi-millionaire who needs to get rid of some extra cash? Because if so, please pass on my information and I'll be happy to accept any donations! Today alone, I spent $200 for books and supplies. That's not to mention the $200 I'll need for uniforms and the $150 I'll need for equipment and the oh roughly $500 I'll need for books for the first day of class. And then there's the $50-$100 for a good pair of nursing shoes, and the countless dollars on notebooks and folders and the list could go on and on. Thankfully financial aid will take care of tuition, but alas, that too will have to be paid back one day! But this too shall pass!

In the mean time, if any of you would like gift ideas for me, please let me know, and I'm sure I can rattle something off! Or if you don't want to hassle with getting the item, I always accept cash and checks and for your convience, I have a paypal account too!

All kidding aside, I'm very excited about the changes taking place in my life. I thank all of you for your patience and understanding as I have endured the challenges of the last few years! You have all been wonderful!

Until next time, I shall go tally up what I need to take out of my next paycheck to make sure everything gets paid for before I start school!

Almost There

Yep, it's Wednesday. Friday is my orientation day for nursing school. I'm ready to get the information I need to get going with the program. I'll post more Friday when I find out what's going on. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!

Thursday, October 13, 2005

"Thank You!"

Two little words, but when they are said, they mean so much. I had the privilege of sitting with an older gentleman all day today. I sat with him on Sunday, too. I did all of his and his roommates care today. They needed a little more attention, but that's besides the point. Nothing could take away the joy in my heart when I was handed a thank-you card by this gentleman's son before I left. It wasn't necessary, I was just doing my job, but they felt they needed to thank me for my work. Nothing anyone at work could give me could take away the joy that gave me. It reassured me yet again that I made the right decision to go into nursing. I love what I do. I love caring for people, but most of all, I love to see the smiles on their faces when they are truly happy with the care I have given them. It makes all that I do worthwhile. I just thought I would share with you and encourage you to say thank you to those you may not say thank you to enough. I know I have people I take for granted way too much. Mom and Dad, thank you for all your unconditional love and support through all my stages of life. I couldn't have made it this far without you. I love you for all that you have done for me and all that you do for others. God blessed me with parents like you and I thank Him every day for you! I'm sorry I don't say so enough!

Until next time, I'm counting down the days to orientation. It's a week from tomorrow. I'm ready to get going, but three months is going to pass by fast. Have a great night!

I love fall!

Ok, so I'm feeling better. Still have to take meds for another week or so, but such is life. Work was ok this weekend. Hectic as always. It's an ever-changing environment that I am really happy with. I'm so glad that I have made the right decision for my career. I can't wait to get started with nursing school.

I had my follow-up with my neurologist today. We seem to have my headaches under control. With my medications the way they are, I have only had one headache in two whole weeks! I know this may not sound like much to some of you, but to me, this is wonderful! I'm used to dealing with headaches 4-5 times a week!

I'm off today! I have my house open. All the windows and the windows and the patio door. It's about 70 degrees outside and beautiful! I'm so glad that fall finally arrived. I've been able to sleep with my window open at night. It's nice to be able to do this! It's wonderful!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I'm off to study some chemistry. I'm sure we have a test coming up soon. Just not sure when! I'll try to update you soon!

Thursday, October 06, 2005

Ok, so maybe it was . . .

strep! Yep, that's right! My dr's office called this morning with the news that my throat culture came back positive for strep. They called in my antibiotic and I got sent home from work. I guess the upside to all of this is that I get to enjoy the first cool day of the fall in my pj's and blanket on my couch and really get ahead on my computer homework. Oh well, such is my life. I hope you are doing better than me! Until next time!

Wednesday, October 05, 2005

Uggghhhh!!!

Ok, so I haven't posted in over a week. I hope you can forgive me. I had a very busy work week last week. Worked Thursday thru Sunday 12 hour shifts (ok, so I work that every week, but give me some sympathy here!) My chemistry test went ok. We got our tests back Monday, but I missed class (more on that in a minute). I started getting a VERY sore throat on Sunday afternoon and was a little bit concerned, but when I woke up on Monday and could hardly talk, I knew it was time to go back to the doctor (thankfully my doctor is able to work patients in without too much of a wait). I had just been in last week for my yearly checkup and everything was fine. Of course. It always works that way. Well, the strep test came back negative, which is a good thing, but it still didn't explain my sore throat. They sent me packing with instructions to gargle with warm salt water and alternate tylenol and advil for the pain. They sent off a throat culture and will call with the results. By the time we get them, I'll be better. I'm feeling much better today, but I have been off work for the last three days and didn't go to school until tonight. I got an A on my chemistry test, which I'm glad about. It's only a 20 question test, so each question is worth 5 points. That's a big chunck when you miss one question! It's off to bed for me. I have to get up and off to work again early. Another four days straight. But I have had three off, so I shouldn't complain too much. I hope all is well with all of you. Look forward to hearing from you soon!

That's What Friends Are For

I've been very busy lately. I'm sorry I haven't kept up with ya'll, but not too much has been going on, other than having a house full of guests from Houston! One of my good friends called on Wednesday last week and was ready to come visit for a few days to get away from the treat of Rita. She brought her boyfriend, his brother, and her two cats with her! It was wonderful to have the company, but we sure were crowded in my small one bedroom apartment.

I have my first Chemistry test to take tomorrow, so I need to get off here. I just wanted to let you all know that I am still alive and kicking. Thank you for your kind words and thoughts on my acceptance into nursing school. I'll know more on October 21, when I have orientation. Until then, it's hurry up and wait . . . again!

Thursday, September 15, 2005

It's Official, I'm In!

I got home about an hour ago. I checked my mail and the long awaited letter was in my mailbox. I could hardly make it to my door before I opened the envelope. Congratulations! I made it into nursing school! If you are interested in the school I am going to, here's the link: http://www.ccccd.edu/nursing. I'm so overjoyed and relieved I can hardly stand it. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers through all of this. Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I enter yet another challenging phase of my life. My mind is spinning, so until next time, I'll close for now! Hurray! I made it into nursing school!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today, I would like to dedicate my post to the most wonderful father in the world. I got to talk to Daddy for a few minutes this morning and personally wish him a happy birthday. My dad has always been supportive and caring throughout my life. He has been there by me through thick and thin. (In fact, both my parents have, but it is Daddy's birthday! I do love you, too, Mom!) I am so thankful that God blessed me with the parents that I have. Thank you for everything, Daddy. I love you very much and hope you have a very happy birthday! Wish I was there to celebrate with you! Make sure Mom gives you that big birthday hug and kiss from me! I love you!

Modern Medicine

I realized today how well my medicine was working to prevent my headaches when I had one hit with a vengence around 5:45. I haven't had a really bad headache in over a week and probably closer to two, so it took me by surprise. Thankfully, I was in a room with a patient all day, so I was able to control the volume of noise and amount of light in the room, to a certain extent. I just got home and was able to take my stronger medicine that will probably knock me out within the next 1/2 hour or so. This won't be long. Just enough to thank God and the many researchers for continously making new drugs that will make our lives more comfortable. In the past I would have just come home and slept this headache off (or at least attempted to), but now, I can try to make it go away! Thank you! I also want to thank my friends and family for being patient through these times of all my medication changes and such. Ya'll have been great. Until next time!

I survived!


Before I start in with my saga of the weekend, I thought I'd share a pic from my nephew's birthday! He's such a happy kid! I'm sure I'll have many more pics to share with you!

Well, I made it through my first full week at the hospital. It was stressful at times, but always well worth it. The hugs and smiles from thankful patients always make me love my job.

I think I'm feeling better. I don't particularly like having to use an inhaler as much as I do, but if it will make me feel better, then I guess I'm up for about anything right now.

I'm off tomorrow. Looking forward to having a day to catch up on school work again. I feel like I get caught up just to get behind again. I guess that's how most of life goes. Have a good night!

'Tis The Season!

Well, it seems that the time of year for me to get sick has arrived again ~ and all too soon as far as I'm concerned. I woke up yesterday morning with a horrible cough that reminded me of last winter, when the doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis 3 different times. I called my new doctor's office this morning and was able to get in. As it turns out, I have asthma. My coughing is a horrible symptom of my asthma. I had a breathing treatment and felt an incredible load come off my chest. I feel a lot better knowing what is actually wrong with me and that I don't have bronchitis again.
I have been out of the loop a little bit. Been working a lot and trying not to get sicker. School work keeps piling up, so forgive me if I don't get posted as much as I want to. Thank you for checking in on me. I look forward to hearing back from you soon!

Monday, September 05, 2005

Happy Labor Day!

A day of work off ~ and with pay! I love days like today. I was able to sleep in after a long, hard day's work yesterday and the rest of the day will be devoted to school work and little things around the house that I've been neglecting. I hope you all enjoy your day off as well. If you are having company or going somewhere, be safe. I look forward to hearing how everyone's Labor Day went soon! Don't forget to post your comments whenever you get a chance!

What A Day

I'm so tired. My twelve hour shifts at the hospital always wear me out, but they are so rewarding. I always have patients that touch my heart in some way. It makes me so thankful for my good health. It also makes me more aware of the care that I want my family and friends to recieve. I see the way some of the nurses and techs behave and I just pray that my grandparents don't get caretakers like that when they are in the hospital. I try to treat all of my patients the way I would like my grandparents or parents to be taken care of.
On top of patient care, we always have the normal glitches. Today's happened to be a little bit larger scale than most. We briefly lost the power to the hospital. Apparently, a van hit the power line in front of the hospital and took out the traffic lights and the power to the hospital. Then we had the fire alarm that went off because someone accidently pulled an alarm. That's always fun. We have to close all the room doors and listen to the horrific alarm sounding in our ears until they get it turned off.
I'll close for the night. Hope all is well with you. I enjoy your comments. It lets me know you are reading and enjoying what I am doing! Have a good night (or day)!

Long Weekend - What's That?

I got off early from work today for Labor Day weekend. I was supposed to go to the doctor, but on the way there, they called and had to reschedule my appointment due to an emergency. It was nice to have an early afternoon. I've gotten a lot done around the house that I haven't had time to do lately. However, it won't be a long weekend off for me. Instead, I will be working my long weekend at the hospital. It is okay, though. I really enjoy my job at the hospital. I do have Monday off. I look forward to having a day of rest, with nowhere to go and no deadlines to meet. I don't even have to go to class. Wow, what ever will I do with 24 whole hours of free time? I'm sure we will all find out soon enough. Until then, I have to get back to the laundry. I hope you all have a great day (or night as the case may be).

I did it!

I'm so proud of myself! I just added all the links that I love to go to on a routine basis! Now you can share my life with me. You can watch my precious nephew and neice as they grow. Of course, I will be posting pictures occasionally, but I still have to find that USB cord!
I have also included the links to my sister's and my sister-in-law's home businesses. Feel free to explore, but please don't feel obligated to buy just because you know me! I know they would appreciate the business, I would love for you to help them, but it is not a requirement!
My dear friend, Veronica, from childhood, also has a blog. I have included her link. She has lots of things to say about being a mommy and wife! I love her dearly and enjoy watching her kids grow (even if I haven't seen them in person - sorry, Vern!)
Please enjoy my links, if you run across anything worthwhile, let me know, and I'll consider adding it to my list!
This was the highlight of my day, so I won't stress you with the boring details of my tedious job.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone on the Gulf Coast. I know many people, both directly and indirectly that are down there. I continue to pray that God will bless them and the cleanup will go as smoothly as possible.
Everyone have a great night.

Welcome To You!

I have just sent out my email about my blog site! I'm so excited! Not that I have a lot of time to do this, but at least those who care to know what's going on will know! It may be boring at times, but bear with me. I just got home from Chemistry class. For those of you who truly know me, I have taken a lot of chemistry. This is just to renew my chem credits and make it easier to get my Bachelor's in Nursing. I'm trying to get as many classes out of the way before nursing school (which should start in Jan) that I can. I'm quickly running out of options, which I suppose is a good thing! I am going to try to post pics as much as I can. I have a wonderful nephew, Devon (who just turned 4) and a beautiful neice, Haylee (who just turned 7 months). I am a very proud aunt and they are the highlight of my life right now! I have some pics on my camera, but have misplaced my cord, so bear with me. I'll get those up as soon as I can. Thank you for visting my site. Visit often. I plan to post at least 2 - 3 times a week, if not more! I look forward to your comments and such! Have a blessed day!

Welcome To Me

I have decided to join the masses and start a blog. Please bear with me. I don't have a lot of time, but I want to let my family and friends know how I'm doing and what's going on in my day to day life. I'm busy working and going to school. I'll introduce myself later. Bye for now.
