After a lot of pondering, I've decided to get rid of this journal. Believe me, it has helped out tremendously & I will be forever grateful for all of the support that everyone has given to me, but I really have too much going on right now (not necessarily "bad") to keep up with everyone on a regular basis. Over the next few days, I will be going through entries & clearing off my friends list.
I'm not going to be completely off EL-Jay Land, though .... if you would like to know what's going on with my wedding plans for next year, feel free to add celtic_wedding to your friends list. I don't update that one a whole lot (at least try to once a month), but I can at least check out my friends' page to see how everyone is doing. Right now, it may not be more than twice a day, but I will check out what's up with everyone. If I don't add you back right away, it's only because I am extremely busy with college, family and/or my fitness goals. It's getting harder to maintain my GPA, plan a wedding, and keep up with the three dudes in this household! LOL
Again ....thanks for everything & I wish all of you the best!

I receive Amber Alerts on my cell, and this is the most recent (sent yesterday):
Siler City, NC Car: Burgundy, Ford Expedition Child: Age 2, Hispanic Male, Brown Eyes & Black hair, 3 feet tall and weighs 25 lbs Suspect: Age 29, Hispanic Male, 5'6", 140 pounds, Brown eyes & black hair Call: 919-542-2911
This is the additional information, from my mother: I heard about this on the news coming to work this AM. The little guy was taken from his mother by his father--at gunpoint, no less. Sick SOB!
Even if you don't live in North Carolina, please pass on this information (on your journal, through e-mail, etc)! This is all of the information that was given to me. I will update it if I receive any more information.
This entry is not "friends only" because I want as many people to see this as possible! Any time I post an Amber Alert entry, it will be made this way.
I'm not that religious (spiritual, perhaps) these days, but I do pray for you.
I think it's a bit sad that you continue to hang on to the grudge that you have had for me, and some of the people on my friends list, for months now. Really, is that the way you want to live your life ...reading the entries of your so-called enemies, badmouthing them when they couldn't care less what you write about?
I have to admit that I find humor in it. Why? Because my life is on the right track ...so much so, that I don't have time to dwell on the negative past. Have I talked about it recently? Yes, because some of my friends have been hurt and I offered my support.
However...
fanning the flames of a feud fire doesn't make anyone the better person.
It just means that people will continue to burn, in the worst way imaginable.
Enjoy this life ...as I found out the hard way when I was 19, you never know when it will be taken from you.
Since I am a bit of a cheapskate & don't want to plunk down $40 for an official wedding planner binder, I decided to make a journal specifically for my wedding plans. Things such as links that I find interesting will be in public view; personal details will be friends only. I may not update it every single day, but you can at least keep up with what we are planning to do.
Feel free to add it to your friends list, if you'd like: celtic_wedding
(I will add people back as I log onto that name)
I would love to hear your advice, suggestions, recommendations, etc! ♥
I am highly amused at the "gas price battle" between the Shell and Exxon gas stations a block away from my apartment.
A couple of weeks ago, the LOWEST price for a regular gallon of gas was just over $3. I know that's cheaper than other parts of the union, but work with me on this.
I am almost convinced those two stations keep a close eye on each other. Luckily, the consumer benefits from this. In the morning, it's usually the Shell station that has the lowest price. After I have dropped off the boys at their schools, I notice that one of the Exxon employees is changing the price for their gas so that they have the lowest prices. This happens almost every day. If I happen to go to, say, Wal-Mart in the afternoon (have to pass the stations to get to it), Shell prices are a few cents cheaper again. So now, they are both hovering around $2.77 a gallon for regular, but I don't expect that to last long.
.... especially if I get devious enough to mention to both stations that down the way (on the road to Marcus' school), the little hole-in-the-wall gas station is usually $0.05 cheaper than both of them at all times! >;-)
NOT work or kid-safe, but funny as Hell, especially if you like Dave Chappelle
"Not only is his {Dick Cheney's} daughter a lesbian, but his mom is a lesbian, and his sister is a lesbian, and his greasy granny has holes in her panties ....BYAAAHHHHH!!!!" ~~~ Dave Chappelle as Howard Dean
Ok, with the aid of some pictures I took (of two of Marcus' toys) while I was really bored this afternoon, let's decide who would win in a sword fight between Darth Tater and "Pirates of The Caribbean"'s Captain Jack Sparrow!
Oh, and I am well aware that Darth Tater actually has a light saber, not a sword ....but these are my pics, and if I say it's a sword, it's a SWORD dammit!!! LOL (just kidding)
DISCLAIMER: I personally do NOT condone the actions and sayings of Mel Gibson as of late .... I just thought this playlist was kinda funny, in light of his recent bout with the law & stuck-on-stupid disease.
Most people will be wishing you a Happy Birthday, and of course, I wish the same. But I thought I would be different and show you THIS image ....because, well, what do you expect from my crazy butt?
Your body sends a very understandable inner message that basically says: "If you do anything else today that requires you to go anywhere besides the couch, bed or toilet .... you will know what REAL pain feels like!"?
