Shopping!

Well, Thursday I finally get to get down to business on my Christmas shopping. I have that one day to hit 6 different stores and get all my shopping done! Ugh! There will be some serious coffee intake! I'm having to psyche myself up so I can face the crowds. I hope I don't get into any of those crazy holiday shopping fights you hear about on the news! LOL! I will be happy to finally have it all done! I have some good surprises up my sleeve for my fiance` and I so can't wait to see the look on his face when he opens his gifts! :P Anyway... Um... I might have some new pics for you guys... Let's see!

Ta- da. About my Fiance` of course. As if that wasn't obvious! I LoVe YoU RONNIE E. HOGUE!!!!

ThatTimeOf TheYear~

So... my laptop is still out of commission; hence my lack of updating the blog of Face book. Forgive me but Ronnie needs his laptop too. He's taking his last final right now, so I am taking the opportunity to not be dead to the world anymore. Lol... anyway, I am very behind on posting pics and I am going to remedy that as well as create the promised DIY section. So behind... well. I have lots to say, but most of it's not nice, so I'm not gonna say nuttin' at all. Psyche! Naw, I will say this: I HAVE THE BEST FIANCE` IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD AND I LOVE HIM SOOOOOO MUCH!!! MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU RONNIE E. HOGUE FOREVER AND ALWAYS NO MATTER WHAT!!! That said, here's some pics! Enjoy! Tee-hee!

I like trees. And clouds.



More pretty clouds.



The pretty winter sky.

K-thanks. Peace.

[Geek Squad! HELP!]

So... My laptop is messed up. Already. Yep. Not a happy camper right now. I can get on the net, but I cannot access any of my documents or photos or anything. I don't have my stuff backed up on anything either. I've been meaning to invest in a back up hard drive but, well, poor folks have to wait til we can afford that stuff. So, I'm quite frightened that I may lose my pictures. I am off today so I'm going to see the Geek Squad to see if they can fix it. I really hope they can fix it without losing my stuff. I may jump over the counter and strangle the poor geeks if they screw my stuff up. Ugh... anyway. Hopefully they will fix it and later I will upload my DIY section. I have been thinking about it. I took some photos of my wreath-making and was thinking of some other stuff, but haven't done it yet. I was kinda iffy about a DIY blog but my cousin Gayle added one to her blog today, so I think it'll be okay. At least I'm not the only weird kid that likes DIY! BTW, You can get to Gayle's DIY section by clicking this link: http://gaylesetsail.blogspot.com/p/diy.html She tells you how to make an awesome shirt!
Well, wish me luck with the Geek Squad! Hopefully you will be hearing from me again later today when I can finally access my photos again.
Peace!

Spirit~

So, I know. I haven't posted anything in a while. Fortunately, it's not like a lot of people read this anyway. To be honest, I have been using it more as a sort of diary. But it has always helped me to get stuff off my chest by writing.
Anyway, just in case someone is reading this... I am back now. I have been really sick and haven't even felt like writing. But I am feeling a little better (knock on wood) and hopefully I am recovering. I have been kinda down here lately. This is usually my favorite time of the year, but since Mom died I have been sorta depressed by Christmas. I have found that you have to find little things to keep your spirits up. Christmas spirit for me now is the smiles of the little ones, the gift wrapping, playing all the songs I heard when I was little, and remembering all the Christmases I was able to share with my Mom. I cry a lot more now but I know that she wants us to be happy. So I am doing my best to keep cheery. I am pretty good at playing the part of the cheerful Christmas fanatic. I can't hide the fact that I love it all. The lights, the decorations, the trees, and wreathes, the presents all wrapped up pretty, the music, the food!!!! and candy! I plan on putting on about ten pounds this winter! Can't wait to eat some of Grandmommy's goodies!!! And oh man do I want some sausage balls! I already had my white fudge covered Oreo's! Tee-hee! Yes, you have to find joy in all the little things around you! I am so happy for my family! But I can't get into all of that right now! Some surprises must be kept secret! My little sister is going to China this summer! So excited for her!
I have a wonderful family who loves me! I have the BEST man in the world and one day in the future when we can afford a nice wedding he is going to marry me! I am so blessed in so many ways! And I am going to focus on those blessings from here on out!!! Maybe you don't believe in God, Buddha, faeries, or Santa... It doesn't matter. But Know this: we were all put on this earth for a reason! We were put here to LOVE! Love your soul mate or love your friends or your fur babies! Or maybe you dedicate yourself to mother nature! It doesn't matter who, just love someone and dedicate yourself and life to that person or pet or place or thing! See how happy you can be when you realize that all of this material stuff is silly. Money is the root of all evil! So if you don't have enough of it right now, (like me) don't let it get you down! Just think how silly it is to let something so worthless take up all your time and effort! Money has no worth. It is the dumbest thing on this planet. Just think about it, why do we have money? what idiot came up with the idea that we should base our existence on little pieces of paper that represent a stash of gold somewhere? God and Mother Nature sure the hell didn't say it was a good idea!!! Don't stress! Just LOVE!!!! And I know I sound like a flower child right now but guess what? Living life with an open mind and an open heart is the way I want to live. I think everybody should give it a try!!! And before I go, here is some holiday spirit for you!!!



"No more lives torn apart,
And wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
Every one would have a friend,
That right would always win,
And Love would never end.
This is my grown up Christmas list."

"Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you!!!"

Sick Notes...

So, I am sick. Yup. And I have a feeling Ronnie may be getting sick too... again. It's horrible. I have school and work... and I'm so sick and tired. Yuck. Both my days off this week were spent in bed wishing I felt good enough to enjoy my day off. And on another note: what is up with the lack of Christmas spirit this year? It's horrible. No lights, no music, no happy cheerful faces... I mean really!?! What is wrong with everyone? I know what's wrong with me. But what about everybody else? I am broke and Ronnie and I are going insane just trying to pay the bills. I'm usually already wrapping presents by now, but I haven't bought a thing. We're freaking out! We're conserving money in any way possible, but right now it's just tough. and of course we're both sick, but can't miss work cause we need the money. This totally sucks. But hopefully, after next week we'll be able to start getting presents. Idk. This year just kinda feels yucky right now. I'm sick and depressed. I am sorry for the depressing blogging but it's kind of the overwhelming feeling right now. On the brightside... um... well... huh... um... well... okay so I can't really think of a brightside right now. But I would like to say that everybody needs to get some Christmas spirit! Remember what this season is really all about! Make the little ones happy and let your family know you care!!! Maybe you can't afford the best presents this year, we all know how tough times are and we all understand, but sometimes the best gift you can give is just being there to say "I love you!" To my family members, that is all I want for Christmas! I just want to spend time with the people I love! I miss you all!!! Oh! Everyone give congrats to my lil sis! She got the transfer scholarship and she's going to China! Woo! I am so excited for her! I am also scared! I've never been on a plane and neither has she! I'm kinda worried about that... Okay I'm honestly scared to death! But I'm still excited for her! Well, I guess I am done for now. No pics right now. I've been sick and really busy too so I haven't had time or energy for anything fun. Remeber to share the good will and love this season!
