| I took my first test in class last night. It went well I guess. I made an 88 on my chapter test and an 86 on my vocabulary test. For my first test(s) I think I did fine I just want to do better next time. I want to maintain a high B if not an A.
My teacher was out last night. She has been sick. We will see if she is there tonight. I hope that my teacher being out and us having substitutes will not result in us getting behind in the course.
I am really enjoying the class. I am actually excited about this. I am looking forward to a long carrier in health care. I was talking to an in structure last night. He is a Dr and he was telling me that a RN (with a masters) in anesthesiology can make more than a Dr. They can make about $125,000. That would be sweet!
So that is about it. This is a short post, unlike the last one. I intend on being more diligent about putting up entrees so that I do not have to out such LONG entry. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment   |

| Well it has been a very long time since I have put a post up. As I said in my last entry I have been very busy and that has not changed. I do not think I would know what to do with myself if I did not have some level of urgency. I have gained some confidence in myself and my decision making. Previously (as of 7months or so ago) I had no faith in myself and my decision making abilities. It seamed as though every decision I made, for the longest time, was the wrong one. Now I seam to be doing it right again. Usually at this point (when things start to go GOOD) I would be waiting for the other shoe to drop. I would normally be waiting for it all to go wrong and blow up in my face. Not this time! I am going to be optimistic and actually enjoy, for the first time in a long time, all the blessings I have received.
I am running in quite a few different directions and it is fine with me. I am getting a lot done and feeling very accomplished. I am back in school. I am studying to be a medical assistant. I have only gone to one class as of yet but the 1st class I went to left me with the distinct feeling that I will have no trouble (or not too much) completing this course. It was my mother that urged (pushed) me initially toward the medical field and I am grateful for that because I think I have found a real aptitude there. It is a good feeling to learn something new and "just get it". Also I think that my natural tendencies toward needing to take care of people, help people, are very well used in the health care field. I don't have to enter into more co-dependent relationships being in health care (ha ha ha ha). A "medical assistant" is just one step down from LVN. It is my plan that once I have finished this course and I have my certification I will work as a MA (medical assistant) for a while then I will go back to school to be a RN. I am planning on skipping LVN and going straight to RN. The RN program is not that much longer than the LVN program and it is much more prestigious and pays better. I do not see a need to take the LVN step. I have pretty much decided that it is a needles step. This is of course is subject to change. Who knows what the up coming years have in story for me. The one thing I really know, with out much doubt at all, is that this is exactly what I am supposed to be doing (for my carrier). There is real job security in the health care industry. I will be secure and provide my son with the life he deserves.
Michael is getting excited about the up coming holiday season and he will be spending a week at his dad's house during the break. I hate this visitation thing. I would prefer he be with me all the time. But I guess it is good that we (his dad and I) don’t live too far from one another so that visitation is more accessible and on a regular basis. Michael is slowly but surely getting his act together at school, I think. We have been having a lot of problems with him and his behavior at school. He has a real impulse control problem and he seams to think he needs to govern the other children in his kindergarten class. This has gotten him a lot of trouble in school this year. His teacher says, "Michael is such a bright boy but he just can not seam to keep control of his body." Just before he went to his dad's house the last time he got into an altercation with another child and ended up getting into a fight and being put into ISS (in school suspension). I have been having trouble with Michael at home - getting him to do his homework and just generally listing. Well when he went to his dad's this last time I think (I hope) Tommy finally got through to him because I know I was not having any luck. Michael has not been back to school since all of this. He returns to school tomorrow and I guess we will see if any progress has actually been made. I am optimistic here as well. In the future I will probably have Michael tested for ADHD. He is still a little too young for any tests to be conclusive at this point. Even if he is diagnosis with ADHD, I think he will be, I will not medicate him. I think, whole heartedly, that ADHD can be managed with diet, structure and stability. I think way too many children are medicated these days and there for we have a mass group of children that are dependent on a "substance" to maintain normal life functions. I would prefer to teach my son how to cope with his issues as apposed to relying on a crutch. I hope this rambling makes some kind of since.
I am going to be continue getting this house, my mothers hose, our home for now, in order. Clean, organized, un-cluttered, livable! I need it. My mother needs it with her condition it is very hazards for her to live in this kind of mess and disarray. My son defiantly needs this because my little water sign does not do well at all when his environment is in such kayos and mess. I do believe that it is a large portion as to why he might be acting out at school. I think once I complete getting the house clean then all kinds of other things will just fall into place. A while a go I got very inspired and motivated and made a lot of headway in getting things clean here. Then I was gone on a couple of occasions and the mess over took the house again. I got discouraged and threw up my hands again. I realized I do not have the luxury of doing that, I have to be constantly diligent so that I can maintain a clean, un-cluttered and happy home. It is easy to say, "This is not my mess" or "What's the point it is just going to get messed up again" or "I just do not have the time now” but all of these, especially the last one, are all excuses and scape goats. Saying things like that is self defeatist. I am not the only one that falls prey to this at this house but I am the only one I have control over. So if I have to put in a little more than I have been or others at the house that is ok, that is fine, that is how it will have to be so that me and my son can have what we need.
As for my love life... It is also just as I need it now. It might not be how I want it but it is just how it should be for now so that I am able to concentrate on the other more important things that I have to tackle at this time. A while back my boyfriend (for a short time - 3 moths), Brien, broke up with me. He said that it was not me and that he just felt that this was something that needed to be at this time - or something. At the time I was really pissed. He was not making any since and to someone like me that is very frustrating - I am very analytical and there for I prefer or need for people I am dealing with to make something resinbaling since. We have since mended what went wrong that day. We are not back together but that is as it should be. We are “friends”. Right now he and I both have so much going on that neither of us really have time for a relationship. We have reverted back to a casual dating type thing and so far it is good. I personally do not want to “get back out there”. I do not have the free time or desire to do that. I have gotten us to him and I do not want to make anymore changes, like that, at this time. I guess we have decided to “just date” and see what happens. Fine with me, it is just one less thing to worry about.
So basically I, for the 1st time in a long time, have things in order (or getting there). I feel good and confident. Feeling this way is new. I am not use to it. I am use to things on the edge and constantly having to fix something or someone. Today (now) I get to breath a little easer. All I have to do to maintain this is just some simple maintenance and nurturing the “good things” in my life. I have been blessed beyond anything I could have imagined and I look forward to it just getting better. I thank the Goddess every day for all she has granted me. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| I have a hell of a lot going on now. I am having trouble prioritizing everything. I have only put (as I am sure is obvious) quizzes on my journal lately. That is because doing these quizzes lets me relax some. I don't have to think much to do them. It is great!
This is what I have going on, all at once. Last Friday I went to Huntsville to retrieve all my shit still left up there and bring it to storage here in Houston. Since then I have been going through all my crap, deciding where it can go and if I am giving it away or keeping it. I am trying to no avail to get my much cluttered house organized and clean. I am paining a trip to Beaumont for the weekend. The thing is I really do not feel as though I should be taking time off to go to Beaumont while I have all this other shit going but I have people that are expecting me. Heavens no would I consider saying "No". That would make my life way too easy. Then I have to help some friends move Monday and Tuesday after me and my son get back from Beaumont. And still continue with my current task of cleaning house here at my home. I am getting a few hours of sleep each night and I am not sure how long I will be able to keep up this pace. Also Tuesday my boyfriend is coming back into town and I will be dropping anything I can sacrifice so that I can spend time with him. It has been 5 days since I have seen him. I miss him a lot! After all this then I have to start prepping for The Renaissance Festival the next weekend. I will be leaving for that Thursday or Friday and not returning until Monday or Tuesday. So basically I have to get all this other stuff taken care of or at least to a stopping point by Wednesday or Thursday. I am still through all of this looking for a job. I am not however devoting the time and attention to that task that it deserves because I have all these other irons in the fire. There is actually more I have on my plate but I think this is enough for now.
I am going to scream soon. I am really close to my wits end! I am hopeful that I will be able to breath easy soon. I am hopeful that this is just temporary and it will let up soon. I have to be hopeful because if I am not I will lose it! Well I have been off task long enough now so I am going to get back to the grind. I guess I just needed to vent. I guess that is one reason people have journals.
So this is a good thing. Speaking of which... I do have quite a few very positive things going for me. My son was having some discipline problems at school and now they are starting to subside. One less iron! He is a real joy and I can not believe sometimes that he is mine. My glorious boy! My man is great too. He is very attentive and generous. Who would have thought I/we would be "here" today. It is still very surreal for me. I am happy and I am taking it as it comes but it is going so well as of yet. I really do miss him a lot when he is "out".
I really am going now. I am done. TTFN

What Color is Your Brain?
brought to you by Quizilla
I actually think I lie somewhere between Orange and Green. Although I feel really Purple. That was not an option. So I guess this will do. It was fun no matter what. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I found this one after I posted the last ones. I am however glad I got to put this up by itsself. I like it the best out of the quizes I have taken tonight.
You are Form 3, Unicorn: The Innocent.
"And The Unicorn knew she wasn't meant to
go into the Dark Wood. Disregarding the advice
given to her by the spirits, Unicorn went
inside and bled silver blood.. For her
misdeed, the world knew evil."
Some examples of the Unicorn Form are Eve
(Christian) and Pandora (Greek).
The Unicorn is associated with the concept of
innocence, the number 3, and the element of
water.
Her sign is the twilight sun.
As a member of Form 3, you are a curious
individual. You are drawn to new things and
become fascinated with ideas you've never come
in contact with before. Some people may say
you are too nosey, but it's only because you
like getting to the bottom of things and
solving them. Unicorns are the best friends to
have because they are inquisitive.
Which Mythological Form Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla | | comments: Leave a comment |
| It has been interesting lately. My friend of 13 years that threw me to the way side about 2-3 months ago has now came back around. Now my feelings are very mixed. I love her! she is a dear, dear friend of mine but we parted on very undesirable, drama filled circumstances. Supposedly she was never going to talk to me again and we were no longer friends. She had no use for me. Now she has come back around and is willing to be my friend again. The 1st problem is that I though, for good reason, that the friendship was dead so I mourned it and buried our friendship. Then it is as if she is back from the dead. I go back and forth from joy having her back to confusion having her back and so on. Mean while I am dealing with the other emotions I had attached to her and the demise of our friendship. It is really confusing.
The other thing is she was dating this guy Ryan and he is evil, in my opinion. He had a lot to do with me moving out and our friendship ending. Once upon a time Ryan and I had a situation where we exchanged some harsh words. I looked at him at that point I saw it in his eyes... I told him, "I know you - I know that look. You are getting ready to knock the hell out of me. You my friend are a woman beater and you need to get somewhere before I call the cops and have you locked up mother fucker." I knew the look because I have been around and in a relationship with men (man) like him. I have been knocked around and there for, "I know him!" He is not too fond of me generally speaking because of the fact that I do know him and I feel like I saw this all coming. I told Aimee after our (Ryan and I) interchange, "Aimee be careful with this guy. He is a woman beater. I know. I know as well as I know my own name. If he has not hit you yet he will. He has it in him. And it is just a matter of time."
Like I said Aimee and I are talking again and we are 'friends' again. For the past few weeks things have been fairly normal between us. Then last night I was on the phone with her for a really long time. She had kicked him out finally and finally she told me all the things I had previously suspected. While sitting there talking to her it was as if I was reliving my horrible experience all over again. It was Stephen all over again but this time it was not "Stephen and me" it was "Aimee and Ryan". It is the same basic story though. It hurt! It hurt to listin to her. It hurt to relive the experience. It hurt to know that someone I love is going through the nightmare I lived. I wish that it did not have to be this way for her. I am listing to her and holding back the tears. There were tears for her and for me. I am all of a sudden back there in the horror. I never wanted to go back and all of a sudden I am there again.
That is enough for now.

What kind of angel are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Apparently me and my sister, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) alicia83_187, have more in common than I thought. We are the same kind of angel. I would have liked to have been another type of angel though. I guess I am, on occasion, bailing people out, or what ever. Bla bla bla. I found some of me in all the descriptions though. In the "Cute Angel", "Warrior Angel" and "Mysterious Angel". I guess I am a little on the multi-faceted side, or schizophrenic, how ever one would look at that. Just kidding. Well TTFN | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Well I have not made an entry in a very long time but here I am at 3:00am and finding myself with the urge to reconnect with my live journal...
Things have been real weird for me lately. I am going to see the Dr. tomorrow. I have been "sick" for about a week now. This is unusual for someone like me who rarely gets sick at all. I am choking down about 3000mg of vitamin C a day and still no better. So I will break down and go see the Dr. I hate going to the Dr. by the way. To make matters worse this will be my first visit to this Dr.
On another subject - I have been talking again with a friend (formally known as my best friend) that I thought I would never see or talk to again. We, Aimee and I, had a really nasty "break-up". We terminated our friendship; or rather she did, around the 1st of June. Then out of the blue about 2-3 weeks ago she called me up. The "reason" was apparently I had a last check from the job I was working at while I was living there with her and her family. I had no idea that this pay check insisted so I was not going to miss it. Anyway, we ended up talking for about 2 hours that day. We really did not talk about what had happened - we just talked. Now I am finding myself with very mixed feelings. It is almost as if someone you loved has come back from the dead. I don't know where she fits anymore or how to handle or classify our friendship (what there is of one). When she "broke-up" with me and told me, "You are useless to me and I have no need for someone like you in my life. I can not believe you would betray me like that..." Those words keep ringing in my head. And they still do while we are talking now and all the 'niceties' are in place. Not sure where I am going with this. I have really not fully assessed this whole thing and what I think and how I feel about it. I know I love her dearly. She was my best friend and confidant for almost 13 years. I have missed her desperately for the time she was gone. And in allot of ways, even though we are talking again, I still miss her. I know Aimee, she is not capable of admitting fault and I do not have false hopes of hearing an apology from her - it won't happen. The closest I will get is the call from her 3 weeks ago.
On yet another subject - things with Brien and I are going great. They are going so well and so smoothly that it is almost (no very) scary. I am finding myself very happy in the 'relationship' I did not want and did not see coming. He treats me the best out of any man over the past 10 years or so. That in and of its own is kind of sad. Sad in that I have apparently been dating some real losers. Brien is kind, attentive and interesting. I love that about him. We have a lot of common interests and common ground. One of the most important to me is that we are the same religion. The difference in religions has been a problematic theme in many, if not all, my previous relationships. I have really tried to resist this, the relationship with Brien, at most every turn. One day I looked at the situation and decided, "Why resist it. I am happier with him than I have been in a very long time. He has a good job (self-sufficient). He is good to me. He spoils me. It has happened smoothly, like it was meant to be, despite my resisting. Why not just let go and enjoy this?" There are many other wonderful qualities I could mention about him but this is enough. If it goes bad some day, fine. If I end up getting hurt, fine. I can deal with that when and if it comes. What I do not think I could deal with is the "what if?" What if I decided not to let this relationship go through... I think I would have much more trouble swallowing the thought that maybe I let the chance to be happy slip through my fingers. Worse yet threw it away. The chance to "have it all". Isn't that what most everyone wants; Happy family, good carrier, healthy/happy child(ren), etc... So I rolled the dice as apposed to passing them. I am very happy with my choice. Of course there is the chance that I will get hurt but that is a chance I am willing to take given the payoff of the bet.
Meanwhile I am reading. Now for me this in and of its own is a huge thing. But I am reading a book called; WICCA FOR COUPLES, Brien gave it to me. So far I am really enjoying the book. Oddly enough I am really vested in the book and I find it reads well. It has given me a lot of concepts to mull over. I will elaborate on this, my thoughts, later once I finish the book. I am currently just impressed that I am reading and that I am as vested in the reading as I am.
Now as for my son. He has been making some real bad choices lately. Well in all actuality, he has lost his mind. Yesterday he got caught, for the 2nd time, playing with matches. He also cut his hair. And he cut a small hole in the arm of the recliner. He is having real trouble with acting right. I have not exhausted all my options but I am getting close to the end of my rope. I wish there was a hand book or even pamphlet on how exactly to handle cretin, if not all, situations that come up while you are razing your child. It is pretty much a trial and error type of thing. I guess I will get it right eventually. I just hope he is not grown and moved out but that time.
Well it is late and I guess I need to get some sleep before I embark on the next day (this day). I guess I am ready, although I am not certain, ready for what Tuesday has to offer or hit me with. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. At this rate I should be able to through a truck or two (maybe three) in no time. TTFN | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So I found this on puppydifranco journal and thought I would take it too. I found the results fasanating. Here they are:

Paranoid: Low
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Moderate
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Low
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate
... Now It says, I am highly Schizotypal, I however do not see it. That I am "HIGHLY" i would be able to accept "Moderate" but I don't see how I am "Highly". Anyway...
I am getting ready to go out with alicia83_187 and her friend Amber. It is Amber's 21st birthday. So I guess I need to get ready. The voices tell me so.... Ha ha ha ha ha ha | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| I watched a movie last night with Puppy and Alicia. I ended up walking out in the middle of the movie. It disturbed me quite a bit. We were watching "Monster". See I get really vested in movies and such. Puppy was ok with me leaving the movie but I fear that Alicia took it personal. I just could not watch it anymore. This real life account movie was disturbing enough that it actually made me sick to my stomach. Now Brien asked me, "Was it really that bad?" I told him, "No not nessaceraly..." "It was very well done but I just did not care for it. This does not however take away from the movie its self. And that doesn't mean that someone else would not enjoy it. I just did not care for it. It was disturbing."
Leaving the movie gave me the time to come in here and put my last entry in. I stayed up way too late last night. Oh well!
I guess that is all I have for right now.

| I have had an interesting couple of weeks, months - shit this year has been a trip. Where to start... I could start at the beginning but that would take too long. So I guess I will start mid July.
Well around July 8th I found a friend that I had lost touch with, Brien. We met a little over 2 years ago. He was dating a friend of mine. I did not think much of him at the time. He was basically just my friend's man. The few times I was around him I found him interesting and I enjoyed his company. We lost touch about the same time him and Beth broke up. I dropped him an e-mail to say, "Hi and how the hell have you been..." He wrote me back that following Monday (my son's Birthday). In his e-mail he said to wish my son Happy Birthday. I was really impressed by this. Seeing as though I had only casually mentioned that my son's birthday was the 12th and he remembered. I like it when people pay attention to details. Anyway... I was in the process of writing him back when he sent me an instant message. We chatted on-line for a while. Finally I told him I was over the typing thing and did he want to just talk over the phone. Well he sent me the # and I called. We talked some more on the phone till the wee hours of the morning. He was going to work the next day (or that day depending on how you look at it). He did not mention this until about half way through the conversation. I let him go so that he would be able to get some sleep before going back out. He told me he would call me once he got to work.
He works driving a boat (toe boat) in the gulf. He is out 14 days and in 7. He called me again that day once he got to "work", the boat. He continued calling me at least once day after that. We talked about all sorts of things, I love to talk. And he entertained this need. That is a good thing. We talked about anything and everything. We talked about his friend and the great girl he found and how Brien wanted to find some one like that. I had previously been under the impression from a mutual acquaintance that he was already involved. He corrected me that she was mistaken and he was unattached and looking. We talked about Billy and how Billy was not taking our beak up very well, or not at all should I say. Basically getting ourselves re-acquainted with each other, catching up, and stuff. At some point we decided that it would be cool if we hung out once he got off the boat. The initial plan was for him to come to Houston and hang with me here. Then that turned into me going back with him to Beaumont. While he was still out he called the girl he had been "seeing" (friend with benefits) and told her that he would not be able to do that arrangement anymore (this is the girl I had previously mentioned). When he told me I said, "Oh shit... What did she say? How did she take that?" He said she took it fine. I was curious as to why he decided to do this before he got off the boat. He had planed on doing it but initially he did not plan on doing till he could do it in person.
As that Tuesday (26th) approached I found myself getting more and more anxious. Seeing as though this was just a friend I was perplexed as to why I was anxious. I talked to him that night around 1am (as usual) and he told me that he would be at my house around 7-8am that morning (Tuesday). Now I am not usually up at that time so this was quite a shock to my system. Well as he said he got to my house around 8am Tuesday morning. We hung at the house for a little while then I took him around Houston to check out some of the things here. We went to Niko Niko's, he had never had Greek food. Then we went to The Magick Cauldron. We saw some other things here in town and then it was time to leave for Beaumont. Both one of us had gotten sufficient sleep the night before and we did not want to catch traffic.
I was playing the whole Beaumont thing by ear. I had no plains or expectation other than going there. Michael meanwhile is visiting his dad in Madisonville for a week. So I had some time available to play. We were both so tired once we got to Beaumont that we just kind of lounged around the house till that night when we hooked up with Van and her boyfriend Allen. Both of them had to work the next day so they made it an early night. Brien and I went from there to a regular hangout of his. I had a blast!!! When we got back to his house this strictly platonic friendship took a turn. That night we slept together for the first time. He is very attentive and what else would one expect from a Taurus. That is one of the many reasons I like dating Taurus men.
Well Wednesday we ran around most of the day then we went out that night. Puppy came into town and Brien and I were going to go out to eat with him but Brien decided not to go. I had an awesome time with Puppy as usual. Then I meet back up with Brien at a bar. He got Shitty that night.
Thursday he was supposed to go to a concert. He wanted me to go but I decided I did not want to attend. See the recent X was going to be there and I was not that interested in hanging with her and stuff. Well Brien decided to cancel his previous engagement and stay there with me. We ended up having a very wonderful and special night that night. As the days went on the sex got progressively better and Thursday night was amazing!
I was there with him for basically a week, Tuesday through Sunday. I had a blast. We did stuff like: going ridding on the motorcycle, mudding in his Jeep, parting at various bars, having great conversations and even better sex, visiting friends and other stuff. I was not looking for a boyfriend, very much the opposite. But apparently I have found one. This kind of thing just seams to happen to me. I can not say I am all that objected to it. He is a really nice guy. He seams to really get me and that is refreshing. We are of like mind in the religion department and that is a relief. It has all just fallen into place. I am still not sure how I feel about it. I guess it is all still a little new and I am still coming down from the euphoria of the whole thing. This "thing" what ever it is really just kind of snuck up behind me and I did not even see it coming or if I did I had serious blinders on.
Well it is late and I am getting real tired. So I guess this should be it. Not that this array of rambling is not enough. I am very long winded. But it will do for now. So...

| This entry is going to be lengthy as I am going to try and touch on allot of stuff...
I am back from Chicago now. I have only been to Chicago once before. I was about 10 and my family went there to see my dad while he was getting his doctorate. I have not been there since (for 19-20 years now). I was unable to put entrees in while I was gone. I had very little computer time while I was there.
I had a really great visit. I was in Chicago visiting my friends Paul and Rebecca. My son had a fabulous time playing with their daughter Brittany. Brittany and Michael are the same age. They got along famously. I did not do that much sight seeing and stuff but I guess that is ok. I did how ever get to visit quite a bit with my friends. Although I met Paul and Rebecca at the same time, I consider Paul a closer friend than Rebecca. He had to work most of our trip but I got to hang out with him a lot over the weekend. That was good.
The sight seeing we did do was: we went downtown and saw the collage (Seminary) my dad went to when he was getting his Doctorate. I got to see a lot of things I had when I was little and that in and of its own was cool. We also went to Lake Michigan and I collected wind for some people. What else would you get from the windy city? I put the wind in bottles and glue gunned them shut. That was Sunday.
Ok Ok - let’s start from the beginning. I got there last Tuesday. Once Paul got home from work we all went to the grocery store and got stuff. See Rebecca doesn't do a lot of cooking and I do, so Paul was excited about the prospect of having me there and getting to eat well while I was there. I was really tired from being up all night Mon. and so Tue was not much to talk about. In fact Wed was not much to talk about either. I got to eat White Castle while I was there and I am not sure if that was Wed or Thur. But I have a cult like fixation with the White Castle burgers. I HAD TO GO WHILE I WAS THERE! White Castles are only up north.
Thursday night we had Pizza, Chicago style pizza. It was SOOOOO good. I was told I had to eat it while I was there and it was very much enjoyable. Rebecca called in the order (they Fucked it up - but I am not sure if that is so much their fault or if it is that Becca is rarely clear as to what she wants) so when Paul and I got there to get the pizza it was not right and we had to wait while they fixed the order. That gave Paul and me the opportunity to sit in the bar and talk for awhile. Oh yea and for us to have a couple of drinks and a cigg (well me not him - he doesn't smoke). It was VERY cool to just hang with him. That was the first chance we had gotten to do that since I had gotten there. He actually had one of "my shots", Shalaly. It is part Jameson’s whisky and part Baily's. I am the only one (other than a select few) that I know that like this shot, he likes this shot!!! Anyway, once we got home he got Shit from Becca for us being gone so long and having drinks without her... WHATEVER!
Paul set up a sitter for the kids so that we could all go out Friday, Paul Becky and I went to this really neat bar there near the apartment. It was 1/2 pool hall and 1/2 regular bar with a dance floor and everything. I had an awesome time. I was drinking Jack and water and taking Shalaly shots. The first part of the night went slow because Becky was not really in the MOOD to be out and she kept bitching that she was really tired. Shake it off! I got some alcohol in her and she really started to loosen up and then we were able to have a really good time. The whole night Paul was matching me shot for shot. Now Becky would not take "my shot" so we got her on buttery nipples. Paul and I probably had about 10 (maybe more) Shalaylys each. Yea we were FUBRed but the end of the night...
So Sat we were all nursing a hang-over. Well that is how that goes. We did some running around Sat but not that much for obvious reasons. Sunday was when we went downtown and stuff and that brings us to Monday.
Well Monday Paul of course had to go to work; Becky and I did some shopping and last minute sight seeing. It was ok. When Paul got home I made dinner once again and he joked about not being able to let me go home because he would not eat well enough once I was gone. The three of us ended up staying up pretty much all night trying to squeeze in more time before Michael and I left.
Becky took us to the airport.... and here we are now back in Houston. I will miss them a lot. I will miss the weather there too. The hottest day while I was there was the day I got there and it was 85. I have to say it was a nice change from the 100 days. The whole week they continuously talked about having Michael and I move up there. It might be nice but I don't see it happening. I love the people here in Texas too much. I would miss all my people too much to do something like that. Well this is all for this entry now to do the others on my actual thoughts....

| Greetings all,
I am packing to go to Chicago for a week with my son, Michael. Getting there should be interesting since I am always late... we'll see if I catch the plane. My sister, who is just as slow as I am, will be taking me. I don't know what there is to see in Chicago, other than a few of my friends. However, I will be bring back "wind" from Chicago for puppydifranco, afterall what else would you bring back from the windy city?
We went out to eat list night... Ooooooohhh... lots of good bread.
We went out to eat tonight... Oooooohhh... lots of good bread too... I like bread.
Anywho... we're gonna go and watch a movie now, and I still have much packing to do.
