I like to think I take advice well. But maybe I'm wrong. And maybe some of you are laughing at that statement.
Anyhow, I do not take kindly to advice from you. I asked you for help, you denied. That forfeit your chance to give me your two cents.
I hope you are racking your brain. Trying to figure out how I did it. And by myself at that.
You've never given me any positive feedback. You assumed I would fail from the get go. And it's been amazing to prove you wrong. Wether you believe my accomplishments or not.
Yes, I have bad days. But I also have good days. And those are the days that get me through.

- Trip home was a bad idea. I mean kinda... Like, I'm completely miserable here. I do not want to be here. The only thing keeping me here is my 2 friends. One is on vacation in NC and the other is married. I need girl time. Serious girl time. I am going out Saturday night, kinda excited about that and hope to make a lot more girlfrans! I have family in Louisiana. That is where I need to be. But I realized yesterday that when I movie I will have no furniture. I got lucky and found a furnished house this time but doubt it happens again...
- I want a new car. Yes, I love my car dearly but it's time to move on. Part of the whole "starting from scratch" plan. I'm going shopping this weekend. Please cross your fingers for me!
- I made a grocery list so I can stop eating out. I srsly have to stop with that. For mulitple obvi reasons.
- I intend on spending the day on the beach tomorrow. Do lots of thinking. Make lists. Figure shit out.
OKRA (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
Are tough on the outside but tender on the inside. Okras have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. You can do something good each day if you try.
CHITLIN (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
Chitlins come from humble backgrounds. A Chitlin, however, will make something of himself if he is motivated and has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful they may surprise you. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with Catfish and Okra.
BOLL WEEVIL (Feb 20 - March 20)
You have an overwhelming curiosity. You're unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. You love to stay busy and tend to work too much. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry you, so don't worry about it.
MOON PIE (March 21 - April 20)
You're the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. A cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies. Big and round are the key words here. You should marry anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going to be easy. You always have a big smile and are happy. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Maybe not.
POSSUM (April 21 - May 21)
When confronted with life's difficulties, possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a don't-bother-me-about-it attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people actually think you're dead. This strategy is probably not psychologically healthy but seems to work for you. You are a rare breed. Most folks love to watch you work and play. You are a night person and mind your own business.
CRAWFISH (May 22 - June 21)
Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you're hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, and the bathtub to the living room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically, but you have very, very good heads.
COLLARDS (June 22 - July 23)
Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in "the melting pot" of life and share their essence with the essence of those around them. Collards make good social workers, psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal life goes, if you are Collards, stay away from Crawfish. It just won't work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.
CATFISH (July 24 - Aug 23)
Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, although one's whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You Catfish are never easy people to understand. You run fast. You work and play hard. Even though you prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear surface of life, you are liked by most. Above all else, Catfish should stay away from Moon Pies.
GRITS (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about joining a club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese, gravy, bacon, butter, or eggs and a good time. If you can go somewhere where they have all these things, that serves you well. You are pure in heart.
BOILED PEANUTS (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best, your friends and loved ones, may find that your personality is much too salty, and their criticism will affect you deeply because you are really much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.
BUTTER BEAN (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
Always invite a Butter Bean to a party because Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You've grown on the vine of life, and you feel at home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you, too, shouldn't have anything to do with Moon Pies...and Never take YES for an answer.
ARMADILLO (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle and kind inside. A good evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms, and insects. You are a throwback. You're not concerned with today's fashions and trends. You're not concerned with anything about today. You're almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo, but a Possum is another somewhat kinky mating possibility.
Thanks so much for all the encouraging words on this post.
It's nice to know that I'm not crazy. My guard is up, 110%. But I'm also a firm believer that there is no way anyone could hurt me near as bad as you know who did. I just really do not think that is a possibility.
I do believe in fairy tales. I believe I will get mine. I will work my ass off the rest of my life for it if I have to.
I'm not gonna make the same mistake I did with you know who #2. I'm gonna put myself all out there and just be honest and straight up. No need to be anyone but myself!
I'm just going with it. & it's going great. Feels natural, easy.
If it backfires in my face then so what. I won't have any "what ifs."
I def needed this experience for furture ref if nothing else.
We didn't make it to Burger Delight. I got a PoBoy and a Strawberry Daiquiri. I went to Aerie and bought MORE underwear. I didn't "find" a cajun man, but I heard some. Does a Chevy truck count for the camper? I didn't get to see Chloe. sadness. We didn't go to see Old Blue Eyes. We went to the Antique Village but not Farmer's Market. Pizza from Mr. Gatti's w/Kimmi & Linds. YUMO We did take a lot of great pics!
I cried for about an hour on the drive home. Once I actually left, I procrastinated. Of course.
Pictured is a young physician by the name of Dr. Roger Starner Jones. His short two-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis"..
It's worth a quick read:
Dear Mr. President: During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.
While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one pack of cigarettes every day, eats only at fast-food take-outs, and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer. And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture" a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.
Respectfully, ROGER STARNER JONES, MD If you agree...pass it on.
bee eff eff and I always end up in the CDs at Wal-Mart we are usually music twins, but sometimes not like when I started gushing over Dwight Yoakam she almost yakked he was effing sexy back in the day

So much has been going on in my life. I keep most of it off of this blog. I don't need to say why do I? It's because people are nosey and rude. And think they know my life by just a few words.
Anway... I've mentioned that I've been living up the single life. That's kind of a lie. Simply because I didn't want to be single per say. I wanted my claws in deep in someone I shouldn't have.
But as of today, that is over. Yes, I've said that before. But it hurt something fierce this time and I'm officially done. He's not worth it. Well, maybe he is but I'll never know for sure. & I can't keep living with that false hope.
I got really angry about this situation. Realizing I've wasted a lot of time. Time that could have been spent finding a replacement to be more specific.
I'm 25, not 50. It's time to live life, not worry about if I have it figured out and where I want to be in 10 years. I want to enjoy these years. Stop worrying about what everyone else is gonna think/say.
For starters, I have to get out of this small town. I was becoming accostomed to country life but it's not for me. Neither is the city. Somehow I need to find a happy medium.
Maybe in Louisianna? We shall see if I stay there this weekend or make it back home. Cajun men will be my downfall. I can see it happening already.
This song spoke to me on the VMAs last night. I think I'm gonna have to read Eat Pray Love.
“For what it’s worth, it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not,
I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”
