Hurricane Gustav

Please keep everyone in the gulf cost in your thoughts and prayers. Looks like my home town is going to take a direct hit. I flew out this morning and I have never seen my hometown as it was this morning. Scared and worried. I'll keep you updated!

:-)

This says it all.

Love you guys!

Saying Goodbye

"A Friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway!!!" So it's my last hours on a quite weekend just playing around on the Internet in my house. As I think back to some of the wonderful things that have happened while we lived here I can't help but think of all we have overcome and the people Jase and I have become together. We have gone through our first Thanksgiving that I cooked, finding out we were pregnant, Jason and I both enjoying promotions, our 1st and 2nd wedding anniversary, and meeting friends that can never be replaced. We have also gone through the loss of my grandfather and the loss of a pregnancy. When I tally it all up in my head we have had many more good things than bad. Threw all of these good and bad memories there has always been one thing.......... our friends! I wouldn't love anything more than to take the friends we've made here and pack them in boxes. They are the people that have helped Jase and I become the people we are. No other friends that we make in the future will EVER compare to the ones we had here. I wish nothing but happiness, laughter, and a few girlfriends for a few of you. I will always have a special place in my heart for you! As you know me I am sitting here as tears flow just thinking about saying goodbye. As much as I have disliked where I have lived you guys made it so much fun. So knowing I won't be able to tell you these things I wrote them, I wrote them down so you can truly know how much I care. There are some of you that were there when the marriage road had a fight and you were my shoulder and sounding board. Others were there when it was time just to have a good time and make me laugh. Then others were there when I didn't think I would make it another day at work. You know who you are and I will miss you, and as much as I try to express my feelings there are no words.........I just have to hope on this road not taken by others that our paths will cross again someday!

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Tired and Twitching!

How do I know I am tired and stressed? Because the internet tells me so. This morning my eyelid just starting spasing out. And knowing what that means I just groaned and looked on the net to see if I could do anything. Oh course, they give you all the reasons this happens but no solutions.
" Eye twitching, or myokymia, is an involuntary eyelid muscle contraction that usually affects the lower eyelid. The exact cause of an eyelid twitch is unknown. A twitch sometimes develops during times of increased stress. Twitching has also been associated with high caffeine intake, fatigue or excessive squinting. It can also occur after reading or working on a computer for prolonged periods of time.
An eyelid twitch is usually a sign that you need to take a break and relax. Sometimes a twitch will go away following a good night's sleep, but a stubborn twitch may last as long as three weeks. "

Let's see......
Times of Increase stress....... Check
High Caffeine Intake.............. Check (to help keep me alive during the day)
Fatigue..................................... Check (You just don't sleep as well without your spouse)
Excessive Squinting............... Check (I know I need new glasses)
Working on Computer........... Check (CAD monkey is all I have to say!)

The best is take a break and relax. WOW! If it were only that easy. Let's see. I have a job I'm leaving, a house to pack and move, a house to sell, move into a new loft, and find a job. This is only my to-do list for the next 2 weeks. So stressed me..........................Hell Yeah! Oh and did I mention I'm going to be an independent women and do it all myself.

Ragin Cajuns!

I have been reading a lot about the Ragin Cajun's Football team this year. Their motto this year, “We believe!” That's exactly how all us alumni feel. From what I hear we are going to have a pretty good team this year. So on August 29 wear your Red and Black, it's Cajun Day!

Baby?

So what's worse than the whole world knowing your TTC? The whole world knowing you were pregnant and lost the baby. Because now the question I get is, "So are you pregnant yet?" or "So when are you going to try again." I love you all I really do, but PLEASE stop the questioning! And no it's not going to be anytime soon. Believe me when it happens Jason will be jumping and shouting from the roof top for all to hear because I sure won't be saying anything. I guess you could say I've been burned and I'm not about to jinx anything. I've done the telling everyone in person and the cute present for Jason. I'm done with it. In fact next time I will probably just toss the test at Jase and say here you go. The glamor and excitement has been shot and killed for me. Sorry but there you have it. If you have anymore questions please address them to my better half, because believe me when it comes to this topic he is the better half.  Who wouldn't want to talk to this guy?

Lobster Knife Fight!

This is how I know I have been hanging out with guys to much, because I love this picture!
