Why is it so diffcult?

Is it really that hard to talk to me? I will try to be more personable.

Friends

I did it! All 10 seasons of Friends. As stupid as it sounds I miss them. I wish I knew what kind of parents Monica and Chandler are and if Ross and Rachel actually make it this time. What will happen to Joey, will he be alone forever? Does Phoebe and Mike have any kids. These are just going to be questions I will have forever. You would think that the writers wold have been so nice to at least publish what happens.


I found this picture i thought it was cool.


Good bye Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey

(Ben, Emma, Jack and Erica)

What do I do now?

Just another Saturday night

Ok. So I have no life. It is Saturday night and it is 8 pm and I am watching the 10th season of Friends with a glass of fake wine alone.
I will be so glad when I finish the last season of Friends. I really have not gotten anything done in 4 weeks.

Back from Vacation

We got back today from our 7 day vacation. Jeremey and I really had a great time. We started our trip with 3 days in Tarpon Springs. Well, actually all over the Tampa bay area. Visited family and friends.


Next we adventured up to Jacksonville. Due to the amount of storms that could have hit we traded in our camping tent for a Raddison. We blindly wondered through the town searching for anything Jacksonville had to offer.

Last we stayed the night in Saint Augustine. What a blast!!!

There was several firsts on this vacation for both of us... first rental of a scooter, first ferry ride, first fried alligator tail and Dave & Busters. All in all this was a great trip!





Jeremy, Jessica, Jeremey and I at Park Place






On 301 to Jacksonville. If you look really close you will see we found Waldo!


Welcome to Jacksonville




Jacksonville Zoo.




A small Timcua Indian hut at Fort Caroline, Jacksonville.








A replica of Fort Caroline.




After a very long hike though an old French trail we drove up the road to the Ribault monument. Absolutely stunning view. If I were to have a monument this is exactly where I would want it.


From there we took a ferry to Fort George Island. I was like a child, it was so cool!





Kingston Plantation. One of the first Black slave owner.

The view from the main house back porch. Jealous?

The ruins of the slave quarters contructived with coquina. There was about 15 or 20 houses to hold all 80 slave families.

Look really close. Our mode of transportation. We got to St Augustine too early and everything was closed. (get there after 10 or 11 am) So we thought on a whim that a scooter would be a great idea..it was! We just drove around down town until it opened not to mention we drove it to the light house which is on A1A. I should also add that this hog tops out at 35mph.






Castillo de Sanmarco, Saint Augustine.

Up 219 steps of the light house beach side.


Jeremey and I found my weakness daquiri. I had several. This restaurant is actually haunted. The home owner was murdered in his bathtub upstairs.

After several drinks we wondered to George street and tried on every hat available. That was so much fun!


Out to dinner. Definitely go here if you get the chance.

Jeremey sporting his new hat back to the hotel to enjoy our last day of vacation. We spent most of the night by the pool with a butt load of "college age" kids.



Ending the night and vacation beautifully with this view from our hotel window.

A new look at the road

I was hoping to announce something else but here is what I got....

Today I got my first ticket. $109 not at all what I wanted. Well, I guess I will feel much better about it when I can mess up someone else's day. And that day will come.

I just can't believe it!

Here is how the party went down.


Coop's cool Birthday shirt


Cousin's play nice





So thrilled for the embarrassing song.

One finger at a time?

Naw! Use both fists as well as you arms and face.

It's my party and I will cry if I want to.

Just had to add this

WTF!?!?
What is this world coming to? It is not even cute??? Just creepy...

Ode to AT&T

To my cell phone carrier whom I have faithfully used for 10 years......
I have paid all my bills on time and in full since the beginning,
I have never threatened to leave you.
But today you told me that I was out of luck.
The phone I bought from you a short 8 months ago died.
There was no warning, no sign, just death.
Now with a 1 year commitment you tell me I have to start anew.
You tell me that I mistreated my phone, me abuse?
Now that is just silly and you should know better.
So I have just one last thing to say...... you are a cheep, petty bastard and I hate you.

Cooper, The Big ONE

Cooper's Birthday is Sunday. I just can't believe that it was a whole year ago that two families came together and camped out in a hospital waiting room for 28 hours. All 20 of us there for one reason, one person. And I must say that although it really sucked sitting in the hard chairs and not to mention being trapped in a room with that much family I (and I am sure everybody) would do it again in a heart beat because Cooper you are so worth it. You are the best thing to happen to our family and we love you so much. This past year I have truly enjoyed watching you discover your world and learn new feats. If this year with you was so wonderful I can't even imagine how the next 50 will be.
Your Uncle Melly and Aunt Jeremey love you kiddo

Ta Ta to the Summer Term

One more class and it is all over for for 20 some odd days!
Last night was the final for my American Sign Language class. We had to stand in front of the class and sign a song. I am glad that I went first because some peoples songs were breath taking. (I did Jack Johnson, Do you Remember?)
So far 2 classes finished and 2 classes passed! One more to go. Wish me luck for my last final Friday night.

Looks like you can not erase what is not supposedly there

I need strength today and for the next several days. I really don't know how good it is to be lost in your own thoughts.

My quiting smoking is not doing so well right now but I am glad to report that the crave is gone all that is left is the routine. That is the hardest part to break. I keep taking the pills that are making me so sick. But now I have to wonder, is it the pills or is it just the stress of my life and the drama that has been filling it?

But on another note, I am joining the police academy in January. This will mess up my progress on my BS but it really seems like the right thing to do now. I have to be responsible for me. It is time. I will be doing this sooner or later, so why not sooner?
Wish me luck for all my upcoming adventures.

A New Beginning

Erase and start over....sometime that is the cure. (At least I hope so)

Saturday I started the quit smoking pill. So I am on day 3 and all I can say is I have never felt nausea like this. It should pass soon. Let's see how I do.

I lost my honors in Psychology this weekend. You can not fall below a B in any psychology class and I am pretty sure I did. It is my own fault. But it is a really big bummer. I really did want it. My whole reason is if I am going to go to a less credible school I should at least kick ass in it. Oh well.

Just can't wait!

In two long weeks I am going on vacation with my best friend Lauren. It will be our 20th anniversary of being Friends. Lauren, Hollie and I are going to St Augustine for the weekend. No kids and No husbands allowed! This is going to be great. I so totally deserve a weekend away.
September Jeremey and I will be going on vacation for one whole week. Not sure where yet but it will be great where ever, as long as it is not home.

The end of the road?

Today was much better.
As weird as it is I have been wondering about an old friend and since I didn't have anyway to contact him except an address I did the most ancient act...I wrote a letter. Now we just wait to see if there will be a response.
My father-in-law took me out to dinner. I had a really good time. And tomorrow I go out to dinner again. It is silent dinner night for my American sign language class. This is always interesting. So sorry Ashley's for the nasty trick. No we are not really all deaf.
My hopes are arising.

What I have learned.

I have heard many times that marriage is hard. I knew that it takes work. I got that. It seems sometimes that I am rolling a huge bolder up a very steep hill. How do I complete this task with only two hands pushing?
