Happy New Year to all my fabulous friends!
2009 brought so many wonderful people into my life.
I can only hope that 2010 will be half as good, really!
While there were some low points, I'm working of focusing on just the good stuff.
the hurt and pain can go away and never come back again!
It's all up hill from here and I plan on standing on top of that hill...
and dance and sing to my heart's content...
and shout to the world that I AM HERE....WATCH OUT!
Thanks to all my friends who have talked me down from the ledge so many times!!!! I love all of you so so much!!!

more chaos
Ham and Beans cooking today.
and since I only had canned beans, I threw in some fresh rosemary and 3 sprigs of thyme in there too, to "freshen" them up a bit. Dog has me hooked on Thyme now.....
Dog's stuffed olives. These were a HUGE hit at my house. The boys loved them...esp. Bud. I thought he would eat all of them....
you know I have to have my avocados, right? These were just cut up, sprinkled with some fresh lime juice and then some salt and pepper. After the olives, these were the next to go. And bree just loves cucumbers and "nuppa guppas" which are grape tomatoes, so I have to be sure and have those for her...
of course, I have to have my pineapple....even with the itchy mouth!
WE were a little crowded....we've decided that we need a much bigger house! But really, I kind of like it on Christmas...cuz there is chaos and people every where.
It was good.

Snuggies and Pornos
ok..........
I had to work at the video store last night until 11pm.
and the majority of the people in to rent movies?
yup, you guessed it....
men renting/buying porn.
and then they try to make conversation with me and the register, like it's just an everyday occurrence to rent porn on Christmas night. gotta get your jack-off in on Christmas night, ya know!!!!
Porn seems to be the majority of the rentals lately....hmmmmmm
and it's always porn like this:
"Do me and my mom together"
"Hot Moms"
"MILFS"
"BIG HUGE ASSES"
I mean, here I am, trying to lose weight and get rid of my huge ass, and I should probably keep it after all!!! ;) and who knew that a MOM could be so hot, right? ;) and we also have a porno that is a parody on "Twilight" that I might have to rent myself! ;)
*****************8
So enough about the porn. We had a good Christmas. Rae and Mike came in from NC, Betty and the kids were here and we ate and laughed and had a good time. Today I am making homemade pizza on my new baking stone that Rae got me...can't wait! and my FIL got me a SNUGGIE!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!! I mean, how tacky and wonderful is THAT??!! In 24 years, he's only gotten me one other thing, and it was a gold ID bracelet, with my name on it. I loved that thing. I am SO a bracelet kind of girl...not so much a ring girl. and now a Snuggie, and it is SUPER DUPER soft, so I will be sleeping in that sucker, no kidding. I willw ear that sucker when I take the boys to school on these cold winter mornings. But today? it is BEAUTIFUL out!! 37 degrees but the sun is SHINING like a mad woman, so I'm getting my HUGE ASS out there to walk! No work today...WOOHOO! But can I say this...I am really liking it. I know I've said that before, but I am really really liking it. I gotta watch out for my pervs, ya know? and since I'm the only woman that will go into the Adult room, they all like me! HA!
Did i tell you that I'm going to Cancun in February? No? well, I'm going to Cancun in February!!! I cannot wait, and I'll also be going back to California in March to help celebrate my Girl Nancy's birthday. I am going to try and go somewhere every month of the New year. It doesn't have to be far, but sometimes it will be. Sometimes I will just have to get on a plane. When I was picking up my son from the airport the other day, I was so sad that I wasn't going somewhere. So I will be fixing that in the New Year. I love to travel and I'm not going to put it off anymore. I've changed so much over this last year, and I like who I am now..and who I'm becoming.

Christmas
Great Christmas!
Even tho I fought it every step of the way! ;)
But now it's raining cats and dogs here, then it'll freeze and we will be in for it big time! Evan was in another car accident last week. His friend was driving and they hit a patch of ice and hit a telephone pole. No one was hurt, thank you God, but he did hit his head on the window and it busted, glass flying all over him..But that kid has a very hard head, so I think the window hurt more than he did!
I have to work till 11pm tonite. Now tell me...who in their right mind goes out on Christmas Day to rent a frickin movie?! People GET movies as gifts...they don't go out and rent movies! But we are open 365 days a year, regardless...even when there's no power in the store...as I found out a few weeks ago. So I will be watching "Elf" on repeat tonite since I work part of the time by myself.
I cooked up a storm yesterday. I made Dog's goat cheese stuffed olives which were a HUGE hit...and I made crepes, which no one ate. Well, Evan ate about 4 of them and got sick.....oh well. Next time, I'll make twice as many olives since Stephen at about 50 of them all by himself! I forget what's it's like to have 3 big boys in the house, eating wise. Gawd, they can eat! and they don't get fat either, which totally pisses me off! I'm still down 30 lbs.....and have hit a plateau. So I'm going to up the ante, so to speak....adding weights now. I want to lose about 20 more pounds and then I'll be happy. Marvin said he'll buy me some boobs if I want them! I told him I'll think abou tit...OOPS! THINK ABOUT IT!!! HAHAHAH!!!!
Missed my Mom like crazy today and last night when everyone was here. Only cried about an hour last night in the tub. Then I stayed up until 3:30AM talking to the kids about our "situation" here in the house. I wish I would have made big changes when they were little...I think it would have been easier on them. Cuz change is very hard for them now. This family is all they've ever known and I'm changing everything...or at least I wanted to change everything. Now, I'm not so sure. If you think you can stay In an unhappy relationship "for the kids"...believe me, don't. It's not worth it. Cuz they might be older and adults, but it still effects them and they still hurt considerably. and I never wanted to hurt my kids...ever. I thought they would understand how I feel now that they're older. I was wrong. So, lots to think about and consider.
I'm stuffed with ham...and hot chocolate and I think I'm off to take a nap before I have to battle the old men looking for their Christmas porn!!!

Gotta get busy
Have I said how much I love my boys lately?
I love my boys.
I was playing "Guitar hero" with Evan the other day, and we really had alot of fun! It was "guitar hero World Tour" so its sort of like "Rock Band" in that you can sing and play the drums along with the guitar. And you get to pick your character, so of course, I have some badd-ass chick with killer abs and lots of tattoos. And I'm always the singer. ALWAYS. mostly cuz I suck at the drums and the guitar! ;)
Then Austin was outside riding his dirtbike. yes, the broken dirtbike, with the bent rim and wheel, but he had it out there in the yard, riding it. We haven't gotten it fixed yet, cuz of the insurance company trying to screw us over on it. But he's out there, trying to zoom around on it and I'm taking pictures of him.
then the other night, we had to pick up Stephen from the airport. he had been in Tampa for about a week. Well, he missed his flight and had to spend the whole day at the airport, on standby. He finally got in around 12:30AM, and it was so good to see him. This was the first time he'd ever been on a plane. And he said he was stuck in the Atlanta airport, with some obnoxious old people...he has no patience for obnoxious people, young OR old! Gee, I wonder where he gets THAT from?
But since I'm the only girl in the house, they all tease me something terrible, and I secretly love every single minute of it. I love to tease people...if I don't tease you...then I probably don't even like you! and if you can tease me back?!!! LOVE IT!!!!! There's this guy that I work at the store with....he's about 26-27...real cute but an asshole. so the very first night I worked with him I said,
"You're really an asshole, ya know that?"
"FINALLY someone tells me I'm an asshole! You don't even KNOW me yet and can see that I'm an asshole! I LIKE you!"
So we've been best friends ever since! In fact, I know a few assholes...some better than others. While some assholes are lovable...others are just plain douchbags and should have their "Human Being" card taken away from them.
*************************
So the whole family is getting together for Christmas Eve night. I'm cooking dinner...ham, mac & cheese, cuz as a Black Person you HAVE to have mac & cheese at every holiday dinner, hasbrown casserole, fresh green beans with garlic, and some different appetizers. I want to do Dog's stuffed black olives, some crepes with Gorgonzola and honey, and this stuffed mushroom dip with crackers. and I've already made truffles and I want to make some homemade turtles and then probably a peach cobbler for Betsy's boyfriend Joe, since he loves it so much. But I think I need some other kind of vegetable in there somewhere....what to have?
*************************
I have to finish the shopping today. I KNOW I KNOW....I'm still not done. Just a few things I have to get, and then the groceries for dinner. Then I work on /Christmas Day night till 11pm. Now tell me.....will there be ANYBODY out there renting movies? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO......people will be getting movies as gifts...they won't be coming in to rent anything! But we have to be there till 11pm. so I plan on watching "Elf" a million times, and singing and dancing through the aisles of the store. They all think I'm nuts cuz I sing all day long, or dance or whatever. hey, you gotta make it fun, right? ;)
*************************
Marvin and I have been getting along so well lately. Its almost scary! ;) But its been good. So what made the difference this time, I don't know. I've told him I wanted a divorce lots of other times in our relationship...lots. But this time when I said it, he actually believed me. Why? I'm not sure. he said it's because I've been taking all these trips and he thought I might actually do it for real this time, since I've become "so independent".....whatever. But we are in counseling and it seems to be working. We've only gone twice, but they were very very hard sessions. VERY HARD. I come away emotionally exhausted and spent. But its opened doors that I thought were closes for good, so that's a good thing, right? We DO have alot of years invested in this relationship and family, and it deserve respect, so I have to give it that. Will we stay together? I don't know. I think so at this point, but if we don't, we'll both be ok. We've both been giving it everything we've got and can honestly say that we are trying. You have to at least try with all you've got in you, and if that doesn't work, then you can walk away knowing you gave it your all. and hopefully be civil to each other. At this point, things are looking good on that note. We are civil to each other and can actually say that we are becoming friends again after so many years of being distant from one another.
**************************
Yes, I'm addicted to that devil, Facebook. you know what it is?...it's just so easy. You write a little snippet, you read a little snippet, and then you're done. You can check in on your friends, see what they're up to, and then be on your way. No long reading sessions, like this one is obviously going to be!!!! But my resolution for the New Year is to cut back on Facebook and devote more time to my blog. I miss all of my friends on here. I've made some really wonderful friends through this blog, so I talk to every day...others just once in a while and some not tat all, but they are always in my heart. and I miss you guys. You've all given my some fabulous advice over the years and some of you have been honest and very very blunt with me on things....I LOVE THAT!!! and I NEED that. Everyone needs that one(or10) people in their life that will shoot straight form the hip and tell it like it is. And you know who you are!!! ;)
So now I am off to get out of my pajama pants and put actual clothes on....and get to running the neighborhood and doing what I gotta do.
TTYL!!!!
I love my boys.

Plans
I finally did some shopping yesterday...not much, of course, but I DID get out there in the trenches.
The thing is this, I guess...
Christmas isn't so much fun anymore.
My kids are older and practically grown and the excitement just isn't' there anymore, ya know?
they pretty much know that they're getting whatever they ask for...within reason, of course!..
I still have NO tree up, NO baking done (and I don't think its gonna happen at all, except for truffles and that's not even baking)no cards sent out, no decorations up....ugh. what is wrong with me this year?
I get like this every year tho...so I need to pull myself up from my bra straps and just do it, like Nike says, before Tiger went sexually crazy.
And speaking of Tiger, can we just leave that man and his family alone already? geezzzz....of course he cheated! lets be real here people...he's rich, he's a celebrity and a sports icon...of course he cheated. I don't have much faith in mankind as a whole, huh? ;) but I mean, to think that he wouldn't cheat is a bit unrealistic, I think. Money can do strange things to people. Power too.
I've decided that since 2009 was my "traveling year" I need to make 2010 a year with even MORE traveling!
so far, I'm thinking of a trip to NYC in January to hopefully see Howard and Tranny(who knows nothing of this...surprise Tranny!)...a trip to Cancun in February and California in March. Hmm...and maybe I'll throw a little Tampa in there too.....
I've realized this....I HATE to be in one spot for too long. I have to travel and see the world. That seems to be when I'm happiest and at my most content.
So that's my plan for the New Year.
Whats' yours?

Movie review
Working at the video store, I get to watch ALOT of movies....A LOT.
"Terminator Salvation".....BORING. hated it. didn't even watch the whole thing.
"The Hangover"...LOVED IT! 2 snaps and around the world and back!!! FUNNY!!!! makes me want to go to Vegas and steal Mike Tyson's tiger!
"The Other Man"...boring. didn't finish it. I DO like Liam Neeson tho, ever since "Taken" which is my FAVORITE movie ever. I wanna BE him.
"G-Force"...Great movie!
"Carriers"...BORING. It's some disease movie where everyone dies , but they never tell you WHAT it is or HOW it came to be...nothing. Hated that movie.
"The Ugly Truth"....FABULOUS movie and SO SOSOOOO true on so many levels.
"The Proposal"...good. and you get to see Ryan Reynolds without a shirt and practically naked, so it can't be bad, right
"Four Christmases"...meh. It had some funny moments in it, but the chemistry between Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn just isn't there. I remember reading that they hated each other and you can kinda tell.
"Funny People"...NOT funny. Sad and very depressing.
"Taking of Pelham 123"...John Travolta is a very good bad guy. good movie
******************************
I'm sorta liking working there now. It can be mind-numbingly boring at times, but I'm getting some "regular" customers who ask for me now, and lots of old men flirt with me and ask me to "help" them pick out pornos. and I just have to say this about the pornos....I have never seen so many HUGE HUGE asses in my life. How do these women get their asses SO DAMN BIG??!! sheesh! and one old guy came in looking for "Natural Bush #36". We didn't have it. He left very upset. He'll just have to make do with "Natural Bush #28"
There's this one guy who comes in....I call him Smartass. cuz he IS one. But he's also very nice and ornery, which I just love. he throws his movies at me and generally harasses me non-stop, which I also love. Ilove it when I can tease someone and they can tease me right back, ya know? LOVE THAT!! But the store DID get robbed right before I started working there, so at night, which is the only time I work, we always lock the door. We have to unlock it whenever someone shows up, and then we lock them in...then have to let them out. yes, it's a hassle,but we really don't want to get robbed again. Well, he always comes in at night and makes sure we're locked up and he'll sometimes sit in his truck in the parking lot..keeping an eye on us. Nice.
Then one night, a little girl came in and asked to use the phone to call 911 cuz her step-dad was beating up her mom and she lived next door. To make a long story short, the cops arrived MUCHMUCH later and didn't arrest the SOB. that was in interesting night. I got yelled at my Marvin cuz I was out in the parking lot talking to the mom of the little girl...."STAY IN THE STORE!" ya, whatever....
So there is always something interesting going on. Much better than just sitting at home, listening to the boys and the dog snore, ya know?
"Terminator Salvation".....BORING. hated it. didn't even watch the whole thing.
"The Hangover"...LOVED IT! 2 snaps and around the world and back!!! FUNNY!!!! makes me want to go to Vegas and steal Mike Tyson's tiger!
"The Other Man"...boring. didn't finish it. I DO like Liam Neeson tho, ever since "Taken" which is my FAVORITE movie ever. I wanna BE him.
"G-Force"...Great movie!
"Carriers"...BORING. It's some disease movie where everyone dies , but they never tell you WHAT it is or HOW it came to be...nothing. Hated that movie.
"The Ugly Truth"....FABULOUS movie and SO SOSOOOO true on so many levels.
"The Proposal"...good. and you get to see Ryan Reynolds without a shirt and practically naked, so it can't be bad, right
"Four Christmases"...meh. It had some funny moments in it, but the chemistry between Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn just isn't there. I remember reading that they hated each other and you can kinda tell.
"Funny People"...NOT funny. Sad and very depressing.
"Taking of Pelham 123"...John Travolta is a very good bad guy. good movie
******************************
I'm sorta liking working there now. It can be mind-numbingly boring at times, but I'm getting some "regular" customers who ask for me now, and lots of old men flirt with me and ask me to "help" them pick out pornos. and I just have to say this about the pornos....I have never seen so many HUGE HUGE asses in my life. How do these women get their asses SO DAMN BIG??!! sheesh! and one old guy came in looking for "Natural Bush #36". We didn't have it. He left very upset. He'll just have to make do with "Natural Bush #28"

Look, I couldn't stay away for long, huh? ;)
I'm doing much better, thanks to all of you.
My heart is good, my head is good, my life is good..
right now.
and I'll take that!
But one thing...
I just CANNOT get into the Christmas thing this year. No tree, no decorating, no nuthin. I think I need My Gays to come to Ohio and get my ass in gear!!! Cuz I know you're all FIERCE with the decorating!!!!
Things with Marvin are going better, so maybe this counselling thing is actually working? who woulda thunk it?! ;) Even if it's just being civil to each other, its an improvement, right? But we actually had a date this past week. Now, I cannot even tell you the last time we went on a "date" date. We saw "New Moon". I KNOW! can you believe he went to see "New Moon"???? I really liked it, of course, and he stayed awake the whole time! ;) It's so much more of a love story than "Twilight" was....and DAMN. Jacob Black has got. it. goin. on!!!!!
Ok, now that I feel like a total perv for lusting after a 17 yr. old boy who is a werewolf.....but when he took his shirt off....dammmnnnnnn. that's all can think of to say at this moment.
Ok, I'm back. thanks ya'll!!

I'm hurting bad today.
Not good.
Not good at all.
But I will survive and go on.
I always do.
and can I just say this:
Marvin is really trying to change his ways.
Maybe I should do the same, huh?
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
I don't know...but I'm starting to see little glimpses....
glimpses of the man he used to be, the man that I fell in love with so many years ago.
Now if I could only find the woman he fell in love with....
I'm afraid she might be gone for good, with only this woman in her place.
And this woman is flawed....she makes mistakes...she is far from perfect.
She cusses a little too much....she drinks mojitos a little too often at times...
she wants it ALL and she wants it NOW...just like Varuka Salt...
she's not very patient...but she has a big heart and is capable of loving.
Even when she doesn't get love in return.
Not good.
Not good at all.
But I will survive and go on.
I always do.

Best Trip of 2009
Zombie Mom did a post the other day about her Best Trip in 2009.
well, 2009 was the year of trips for me and its really hard to decide.
It all started with NYC in May. Gawd, how I wish I could go back and do this trip all. over. again!!! I had THE BEST time. It gave me some lasting friendships that have matured over the past couple of months, and those friends have become family to me. It started my journey on self-discovery and finding out who I really am now. Nothing wrong with that!
then I had family vacation in Nags Head. Got HORRIBLE staph infection. nuff said.
then came my trip to TN with Bina. OMG!!!!! ROAD TRIP!!!!!! Some of the best times Ive ever had with Bean.....EVER. It had been almost 20 years since we had seen each other and we picked up right where we left off. I want to be her neighbor and eat dinner with her every night and sit on her deck drinking "Fruity robinas" every night..under the stars. oh how I wish this could be true.
Then came San Diego. Ahhhhhhhhhh San Diego. What can I say about good old SD? well, it was a FABULOUS trip, and I got to meet Mary and Glo and hang with Nancy...see old friends from high school and hang with them....go to the beach, take some fatastical photos....lose part of myself and find other parts of myself that I thought were long gone. I learned some valuable lessons in SD and will always be grateful for my time there, and the people there. I want to MOVE there one day...maybe sooner than later. It was very hard to leave as SD was kind of ideal for me. And that broke my heart. so I have some sadness when I think of San Diego too. But mostly good times....goooood times.

Tiger Woods?
Really?
His wife is beautiful!!!
makes you wonder, huh?
******************
I've become obsessed with "Duffy" all over again. When will she put out another CD?
My dog's mouth smells SOOOOO bad...I cannot even describe the smell that emanates from his mouth. Its probably the worst thing I have ever smelled in my entire life. he IS old...and his mouth is old...but dang! that stanks!!
I've realized that I become obsessed with things far too easily...walking for instance. I know its good for me and all that, and if I don't walk at least 2 miles every day I feel BADDDDD, but when I eat, I get this overwhelming urge to go "walk it off". the other day I ate 3 potato wedges, 5 shrimp cocktail and 3 pieces of sausage and had to go walk for a mile. I HAD to. it wouldn't leave me until I walked. Obsessed. But the smaller the sizes go, the more I want them to!!
My birthday is this weekend. and I'm going out dancing!!! It's been far too long since I've done that. I can't wait. I told Marvin he can come and dance too, or he can be the "designated driver"...HA!! We shall see. My birthday last year sucked BIG TIME so I'm making up for it this year.
Does anyone else think Taylor Swift has "squinty" eyes? her eyes kinda bother me, like she had work done on them or something, and they did TOO much work on them.
I really like Sandra Bullock. She seems like she would be cool to hang out with.
I am SO not in the mood for Christmas stuff yet. I know some people have their trees up already and have decorated...not me. I wait until the last minute and then the day after...that tree comes down! I figure a week max on the tree.
I'm thinking about going to an "open mic" night at a club downtown....and actually singing. I miss singing so much. :/
Christmas party next week at The Sunrise Inn. Let me tell you, they have some good food...great pizza especially. Hand tossed pizza that melts in your mouth. yum.
The photography thing is going good. Basketball shoot tonight. I love doing basketball. I can get so much closer to the action and I don't have to worry about the weather!
My kid has staph again...for like the 5th time. So he is getting tested to see if he;s a "carrier" and then we'll go from there. I think long term antibiotics might be in his future.
the insurance company is trying to screw us over on austin's dirtbike. so we have procured us a lawyer and will act accordingly."Call my lawyer"!! and he's still going to the chiropractor for treatments. His spine is all jacked up, and he's been in alot of pain lately. he goes every other day.
Really?
