Day 1-Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

1. I miss you. I understand why you had to leave but that doesn’t stop me from missing you every day. You are my hero.

2. You are the best friend anyone could ask for. You’ve stood by me and seen me through some tough times. You are my sister though not by blood and that makes it better b/c you choose to stay my best friend even when I put you through hell.

3. We had a rough childhood and you are one of the things that got me through it. I love you even when you drive me crazy.

4. I couldn’t ask for a better mom. You’ve helped me through so much and I love you more for it.

5. You are what every girl wants in a stepdad should she have one and what every girl deserves in a dad and man. I love you.

6. We’ve had tough times me and you and I’m sure there will be more b/c we are so alike.  But you’re my dad and those tough times made me stronger. I love you.

7. We drifted apart the older we got and that makes me sad.  I wish we could’ve come together again before you were taken home. But that’s me being selfish. I miss you and our childhood.

8. There’s not much I can say about you that I haven’t already. Watching you grow up and become the man you are becoming has been a joy to me. I can’t wait to see what your future holds. I am so proud of you.

9.  We didn’t spend that much time together when you were little and I regret that. I didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on you.  I am so proud of the young woman you have become and so very proud that you are chasing your dreams! You are an amazing person and I want you to never quit. I love you!

10.  I think we should do coffee and see where that takes us.

Sure I'll give it a try....

I saw this on my sister’s tumblr page and thought I would do it….

Ice Storm 2011

Living in the south you get used to the crazy weather and the ups and downs. I mean just on New Year's Eve in Mississippi we had a confirmed 12 tornadoes and now this weekend, the very next weekend, we have an ice storm, crazy right? Tell me about it. But you get used to it and you may not like it but you gotta deal with it. The only difference in dealing with an ice storm in the south is well...the people...and the ice of course.  You see because ice and snow are so rare in the south, we southerners (or deep southerners, i.e. Mississippians) have no idea how to deal with it or what to do when an ice storm comes along.  So the week leading up to this ice storm, people were rushing to the stores to get items they would need for the storm.

Well the ice started coming down today, or should I say the sleet/ice/snow mix. And it is a beauty.  There is ice every where, schools are shut down for tomorrow, there is a curfew in one city to protect people from driving and one part of the interstate is closed down because the roads are so bad.  You see this is completely different than a snow storm. I can deal with snow and I can drive on snow. But Ice? I HATE ice. Ice makes the roads miserable, makes the ground difficult to walk on AND causes the power to go out because of the ice on the power lines. So you see ice makes everything more miserable.

Anyway, I still have power, which is good as I couldn't get my gas fireplace to light, but I have been doing nothing all day except sitting on my pull out sofa bed watching t.v. with my best friend. The only reason the couch was pulled out was because we had a birthday party weekend for my bestie and needed the sleeping room. It was a pretty good celebration and having a lazy, cold, icy day to end it was just perfect.  I hope the roads aren't too bad tomorrow for me to drive to work but I'm at least going to try as that was my resolution.

We'll see.

New Year

Ok so I've yet to blog in 2011 and it's not because I haven't wanted to, I just haven't had anything relevant to write about. Nothing exciting has happened and I haven't had any recent outstanding moments of thought. In truth I've been kind of lazy with it and I think that's ok for the beginning of the year. I mean I am trying to stick to my resolution this year, which was to work harder and be more dedicated to my work.  By this I mean I must stay off of the internet more and do more work so I don't get behind like I was at the end of 2010.  My goal is to be more productive this year and not call in sick or anything.  I hope it goes well.  I'm also doing a weight loss thing, but that's not my resolution that's a life style change.  I actually love working out because it gives me this euphoric feeling and I've been missing that lately. We'll see how it goes, wish me luck.

Until next time.
