Show your face!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Well mainly i am just happy that it is over. So ya'll know where we were today and you know how extremly unhappy i was about going up there and all that jazz, well I will have you know that I was actually very good and well behaved, on my semi best behavior, whatever you want to call it. But i did do some small things to let people know that i was ticked about the day. One thing i did was, last night i decided that since my Thanksgiving was ruined that I would choose not to partake in any thing that had to do with thanksgiving with them, so that means basically that i didn't eat any of their food or drink any of their drinks ! Childish? I don't know, don't really care much either, i did some few other things like call mom and dad, i texted a lot too. But other than that i was nice, and everyone loved me, even their neighbor's. It is funny though, for some reason every time we are around her i lose my appetite, nerves i guess, but tonight SHE asked me "are you a real picky eater" and brooke and i just laughed and i said "me, yeah right"! ha ha ha, that's just funny to me. I will say, this trip wasn't as bad, but there were still some rough patches, i mean it is always hard when everyone is talking to the kids and they say mom, we all get confused as to who they are refering to, her when she says how much they look like her or she decides to stroll down memory lane and whatnot. But anywho, i was so hungry by the time we hit Jonesboro Jamey offered to stop and get me something to eat, well what is the only thing open on Thanksgiving day?........................................................... give up?.......................................................
Waffle House, so we found one and ate a thanksgiving feast! Actually it was nice, no cleaning, no leftovers, no mess. Just someone waiting on me!



















Hope everyone had a great day and was safe! Love ya'll!!

At a crossroads, how much is to much? Please comment....

So tomorrow, instead of going and getting to spend time with actual, real family, we are going to spend time with HER THAT SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS (it's a term of endearment compared to what i would really like to say!). And I am really unsure of what to do, i mean do i let her know how absolutely stinkin mad i am about this, or do i just pretend that everything is okay and be happy go lucky? I just, i don't know, for some reason, i just cant really seem to let this one go. I am having to give up my already set plans, and we had a whole day set up too. and i was also gonna cook my first thanksgiving in this house and was very excited about that as well. but instead i have to go and spend the ENTIRE day with a bunch of people who think less of me than blowing their nose in a tissue and i am expected to be on point?. i just can't seem to shake that. I really want to just go up there and be not so nice to everyone except her sister Elaina (because she is nice to me), sit outside in my car and read or play on my laptop, something, so that they will know, without a doubt that i am so not happy to be there. But i also know that no matter what or where i am we 4 will be together and that's whats most important, so that i should just accept that and be okay with whatever. I don't know. any advice on this will help me out tremendously, so please comment......

Katie, you have a war!!!

Well after seeing those pictures of your cantaloupe, or whatever that was, really was the weirdest thing i had seen in awhile. It also inspired me to look for other odd food anomalies! Well tonight while I was straitening up, I am doing a little extra cleaning:
1. because i am nervous about maybe buying a house and all the other things that that would entail...
2. because SHE is coming over for thanksgiving (to our house)...I know, it was my idea. This way it's on our turf and our terms! wanna know any more, e-mail me or text me!!
So anyway, and while i was doing the cleaning i was cleaning out the fridge, and found this in the back.... and no, it is not decorated this way...
This was a chocolate cake, that I won at the Hallelujah party, back in October!!! Hopefully no one on here made this!! This was pushed to the side and never looked at again. It's almost pretty. But oh the smell that came from this was oh so horrible. Enjoy!!!!

Creative or just stupid.

So the other day I was reading in a magazine about some cheap and festive ways to decorate for Christmas. One of the ways that they suggested was putting ornaments in a glass hurricane vase. Well i thought that it would be even neater to put some lights and ornaments in a vase. So I set out to get what i needed. My goal was to get everything at the dollar tree (aww the dollar tree, how wonderful you are, sometimes!). Si i get there and yes they do have glass vases, but they are not as big as i want. yes they have ornaments but they are too big to fit into the vase i chose and yes they have lights but there are only 10, 10 lights!!! So I kept looking all over that store and finally found some smaller ornaments and 2 cute vases. I then went to wal-mart (it is a wretched vile place that unfortunately has everything that you could ever want or need) to get the lights. Then I came home, put it all together and this is the result...

I made two of them and they are sitting on either side of our tv in the living room, they are kinda cool i think!

Here they are.............................................:)

Dum da da dum, Here they are, the long awaited, well since last night anyway, updated photos of my new hair! Enjoy!

That itch that you get..

No not that one or the other one, I have recently started getting the "time for a change" hair itch. And as you know i refuse to cut it, so what do i do? I color it. I went darker this time, mainly for something different but also darker for the fall and winter months. I dont know why this time, but i was really scared that i wouldn't like it. I have been all colors from blonde to black, but dying my hair brown was just weird to me. I was pleasantly suprised though. I really like it, it looks really natural i think, it is darker that my real hair color but still brown. As soon as i get some pictures of it dry i will post them. I did find a pic of the stuff that i used and even in the right color, so you can imagine me with this color till then.....

Chicken noodle soup, yummy!!!

So for those of you who haven't been reading my myspace or facebook moods, and haven't heard that I am not feeling very well, Well I am not feeling very well, I am just coughing ( alot ) and all the coughing is making my chest hurt and my throat sore, so i have been craving some homemade chicken noodle soup. So tonight I finally decided to try and make some. I gathered my ingredients and started cooking, well then in the middle of cooking my stupid pot started burning the bottom of my beautiful creation. So i had to think quickly, I transfered all of the soup into my crock pot pot and had to pop it into the microwave. Well, it would have been soupy, but then last minute i decided to add another box of rotini noodles, which soaked up all the soupy part and turned it into some kind of casserole or something, well it wasn't soup but it still tasted great and looked yummy! Here's a pic.............

Also:: You know, I don't celebrate halloween, but there is one thing that i love about it, if you could say that, but the one thing that I really enjoy rather, is the after sales of the candies!!! Yummy, ya know when all the candy is on sale for like 50-75 % off! Well tonight while I was at wal-mart gathering my c.n.s (chicken noodle soup) ingredients and getting some cough medicine I saw the grandest thing of all. Chocolate, the biggest thing of chocolate that i have ever seen, at least lately anyway, i just had to buy it because it was the most exciting thing i had seen in awhile, we are attempting to eat it, but i assure ya'll that it will be a slow process, so if anyone has a chocolate craving please let me know and i will get some to you right away!!! Here is a pic....

J.T's 16th birthday.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Today we celebrated J.T's 16th birthday.. I can not believe that I have a son that is turning 16, man i feel old!!!:) J.T had a great time with all of our family and the wonderful cake that was provided by Christie's Sweet Treats. She did a wonderful job and J.T loved it. He really enjoyed his present, he finally got his xbox 360 that he is always been wanting. Enjoy the pics...

Hallelujah Party '08

Make a Smilebox photobook

What a great time that we had today at the Hallelujah Party. Jamey and I had so much fun working and watching the kids play all the games, and the kids had so much fun dressing up and racking up points to earn their prizes. We had, I believe the last count that I heard from Pastor Michael was somewhere over 100 kids, man that is so amazing. enjoy the pic slide show..

What a day....

So last night Jamey's mom calls and wants to know if we have any water pressure, so we check and nope, we don't even have water. So i just assume there is something going on in our neighborhood and leave it at that. Well later on Jamey's dad comes and drops Brooke off and asks us if we have any water and we say no, so he say's, wanna know why, check out your back yard.. so we do and BAMMMMMM, WHOOOSH, SPLISH, SPLASH, there is the biggest water fountain gushing up out of the ground.
So we had no water last night and had to listen to the melodious sounds of a generator, backhoe, men talking and yelling and the humm of the bright lights in our bedroom all night long. So i was already not in the most pleasant of moods when i had to get up for work this morning. Then... i was driving my little self to work, minding my own business when all of the sudden i see the BIGGEST deer that i have ever seen start coming out of the woods and start running towards my car, not away from me, towards me. At first I think, oh stupid deer, he'll stop and turn around, well oh no he did not, he just kept right on comming for me. So i had to decide to keep driving or stop. Well if i had tried to speed up he would have plowed right into my door, so i decided to stop. I was going the speed limit but my car did not want to stop. It was so crazy, my car was sliding and he just kept right on running for me. At the very last second when i was so sure that i was fixing to see this deer just indented in my grill and hood it was as if someone grabbed my car and pulled me to a stop and made the deer change his direction so that while i came extremely close ( i mean like this [ ] close) to hitting this huge creature, i didn't. It was so amazing and scary all at the same time. I was so scared that I just kind of sat there for a minute and was shaking the whole rest of the drive to work. When i did stop and was able to get a good look at the deer, it was as long as my car is wide and about as thick around as me with many many horns on top, this thing would have caused some major damage to my car. But all i can say is thank you God for protection and having your hand on me at all times.

Savannah trip pictures...

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Here are just some of the pictures that Jamey and I took in Savannah. We had such a great time and I wish we were still there. We really enjoyed the lessons and all the fellowship and joking around. Corn anyone???

So last night we had young marrieds. I love young marrieds. We learn some very many valuable things and Pastor Michael really brings it all home. I am learning so much.
Last night since it was the day before Jamey's birthday I asked Christie to make a cake ( and a wonderful cake it was too, so chocolatey, moist and smooth, rich and creamy, i could go on and on, but i'll stop for time's sake) ((Thank you so much Christie, you are great and as soon as we cut the other one I will take and post and send you some pics of the little cake that you made.)) and the boys brought some balloons and we sang (and embarrased the junk out of him may I add) happy birthday to him. I also just want to say HAHA (evil laughter) all of you are now forever engraved into my blog page HAHAHA (evil laughter again)!!!

The oh-so-wonderful-beautiful-yummy-chocolate cake that Christie made!!!! You should really think about calling it that, you could charge more just because of the name!!

P.S: I uploaded these pics to photobucket, but then i have no idea how to get them from there to here without them being HUMONGOUS!!! HUGE!! LARGE!! BIG!! Anyways i think you get me, can anybody tell me what to do???

Saturday/Funday pt.2

Monday is Jamey's birthday, and no of course he gets no where near as excited as I do about birthday's, in fact there is no excitement at ALL! But I still like to think in my world that he does and that he wants me to make a fuss so that's what I do. So tonight mom,dad, and Tom (Jamey's dad) came over and we ate dinner and cake/icecream and had a great time talking and laughing and just being silly. Happy early birthday!!!!





Here is the cake that I made, I am no Christie's Sweet Treats, but I think that I did alright!?!? Everyone ate it and no one keeled over or anything! So yeah!

Saturday/Funday pt.1

I heard about this festival of sorts at the Newman Wetlands Center here is Clayton County. I was so excited because it was 1. Near by 2. FREE 3.FREE 4. Near by!!! So we decided to go while Jamey still had a Saturday off. We had a great time, they had different types of reptiles and raptors ( no, not like the dinosaurs, birds silly! ) They had a lot of little information stands set up from all kinds of other nature centers in GA. They also had a fun little scavenger hunt and if you completed the paper and turned it back in you got either a free popcorn or free snocone, supercool! We had a great time doing it and saw a lot of neat things along the way.
