The Ultimate Spa Package...
Here is the basket I made for Paige's class' donation for the school auction! Nora was sweet enough to donate an hour's massaage and with that, it was easy (and inexpensive) to put together a basket. At Kohl's I found some stress relieving bath salts, a hot/cold neck wrap and 3 set thing of scented candles...then at Target, I got the relaxation CD and loopha! I'm thinking I could use a massage right about now and fully intend to bid on this one tomorrow night!!

Embarking on a new journey...
Well...after 7 months of applying with the school districts and not even getting an interview...I've decided to just "let it go"! I have been so determined to get a job with the school district, but I'm also a realist. Without an "inside" ace...I don't think I have a rat's ass of a choice of getting in without knowing someone higher up...and since I don't, then I surmise that it's time for the proverbial "Plan B" LOL!
So...as I had originally planned to do once all the kids were in school, I'm going to get my manicuring/nail tech license and start my own nail business! I've also started selling Avon recently and I'm hoping that the two ventures will combine nicely.
Anyway...it's freeing knowing that you are in charge of your own destiny!!

Fakes, Phonies and Big Butt Lickers...
I guess the title came to me when I thought of the movie called: Sex, Lies and Video Tapes...and what is the significance?? Well...I mostly just liked the way it sounded, LOL!! Or maybe it's "Snips, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails" LOL...but at any extent...it's something I cannot stand! If you cannot be "real", than you just shouldn't "be" at all...
I am blessed and oh so fortunate to have a "few" very true, real, genuine friends (online and in real life)...the type of friends that will hug ya when you're down even though you haven't showered for days...the kind of friends that love everything about you (the good, the bad and the ugly)...the type of friends that will drop everything in a New York minute if you need them...and for that, I am grateful!! I would rather have a select few "real" friends...and by "real", I'm talking...no bullshit, no sugar coating...no ass kissing people, but real, genuine folk than a hundred fakes and phonies! HAHA...that made me think of that "Wranglers" commercial (with Brett Favre)...and they say, Real, Comfortable, Jeans...well, I have Real, Comfortable, Friends...and to you friends (and YOU know who you are)...I love ya!!!

Love Bites...
In the words of Def Leppard:
Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love lives, love dies
It's no surprise
Love begs, love pleads
It's what I need
I've come to learn that in love, there is often pain...That sometimes in a leap, there's no going back. It's been a very long time since I felt the sting...that crushing pain in my heart...the constant lump in my throat...and trying to hold back tears that just won't seem to stop. It's impossible to explain, but I've come across some incredible quotes:
“The saddest love is to love someone, to know that they still want you, but the circumstances don’t let you have them.”
*
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.”
*
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
*
Love that we can not have
is the one that last the longest,
hurts the deepest and feels the strongest.
*
I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care, I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there. I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do...I'm sorry I can't help myself, I'm in love with you.

If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.

See there's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me.
-- Gretchen Kemp

This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
-- Helen Keller
*
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
-- Kahlil Gibran
*
Just so you know, there's a space that only you can fill. Just so you know, I loved you then, I guess I always will.

Ahhhh, but this too shall pass, or so I've been told...

Wasted Days and Wasted Nights...
I guess the title pretty much sums it up, LOL!! This...sung in the old Freddy Fender fashion, LOL! Just another "Freaky Friday" at the Tumble Weed. We met up with our neighbor Ty and his brother Troy! We've been neighbors for 8 yrs and also known Ty way before that! Those two are a blast!

iTz Crabs for Chase...
Well...Can't believe my little sweetie is 12 yrs. old already!! Chase was really surprised with his new Dell Netbook!! He never expected that!! But he's really trying hard in school and we just wanted to get him something special (except now all the kids want one, LOL)...
After he opened his present...we all headed up to Colorado Springs to the iTz Family Fun Center...where Chase, his friend Mitch, Paige and Taylor had a blast for 90 minutes (well, okay...Taylor wasn't having that great of a time, but she sucked it up for Chase, LOL)...anyway, after all the fun we could stand at iTz...we headed over to Joe's Crab Shack for some yummy seafood!! Chase got Joe's Classic Steampot and I got the Old Bay one (of course, LOL)...anyway, I had steamed clams in mine and Chase just love them, so we ordered him a pound of clams to go with his meal!! Now of course, Taylor won't go near seafood of any kind with a ten foot pole...but once again, she did suck it up for Chase...but she had a hamburger, LOL!!
It was a great time and Chase had a blast!!!
Happy Birthday Sweet boy of mine!!! Loves & Hugs...
