Well almost a month, wow that's terrible. Anyhow I just cant think straight anymore and I've been so busy, but I have neglected xanga. Sorry.

I have so much to do, I have to pack first of all and that is driving me nuts. I hate to pack because I hate to unpack and I've been known to leave an unpacked back unpacked for a week. (sorry mom, I totally cleaned the house this weekend ) Anyway back to the subject at hand, as mentioned in the aforementioned post we are going on a cruise and I feel retarted packing summer clothes when it's 30 degrees outside, its just weird to me. And I wonder where you could even look up the weather, I mean do they record tempuratures in the middle of the ocean? Who knows I always overpack anyhow.

I hate to admit it but I've been sucked in by myspace, hold on before you say anything I'll tell you why. I know a bunch of people that have myspaces and I wanted to see them but I couldnt unless I got one so I did. Well then I couldnt stand the thought of it being there ugly with no color or picture so I made it cute. I still dont like myspace but they suck you in because you cant communicate with your friends unless you get one, pretty good idea though. I still prefer good ole xanga. I also think that is what is happening to all you xanga people out there everybody is crossing over, well its out of my hands.

This was a pretty good comeback post I think. Love you all.

Rules of Louisiana:

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

3. They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-49 goes north and south. Pick one.

4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 rice strippers that are driven only 3 times a year.

5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish and love it. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads.

We use three spices: Onion, Pepper, and Garlic!

Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... It ain't real Jambayala. Jambayala was born and bred in Louisiana.... and real Gumbo never met a tomato!

12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

13. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a hell of a lot more fun to watch.

14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards --it spooks the fish.

15. Colleges? Try Louisiana Tech, NSU, UL, McNeese, or LSU. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.

16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than any other state, so "Don't screw with Louisiana," If you do, you will get whipped by the best.

17. Always remember what a great mind once said:
"The United States wouldn't be what it is today if it had not been for Louisiana!"

Well it's been almost a month since my last entry, I am not so good at this sometimes. Well I am going to try and get some pictures printed tomorrow from Labor Day weekend which was a blast. It was a big week for birthdays so Happy Birthday to my sister in law Brandy and EC! And Sarah last week! Several more are coming up as well. I have actually started my Christmas shopping early as promised, yay me. I miss everybody I hope these holidays hurry because I can't wait for everybody to get together again! I'll be back soon, perhaps with pictures of my last paint job which I hope will take place tommorow.

Au Revoir

Depression........... My fingerprints were rejected, so my papers are going to take forever and a day and I won't be able to take my test in November. So I have to get them done again, and send it off again, and wait again. I'm trying to patient but for the moment I am having a pity party, so for all you wonderful, wise people who are going to leave me comments full of wonderful thoughts and encouragement I will read them tommorow. Love you all.

Hello there! Time is flying by, I mean half the year is almost gone. The time is gong to change soon, then it will be fall, then Christmas! I said this last year but since I'm already thinking I may actually start shopping early, and get ahead of the game, because as some of you remember my last minute running around got the front end of my car smashed last year. I really believe that was God very literally telling me to slow down and chill out. (I wasn't in a very Chritmasy spirit, He sure showed me, look at her thinking the world revolves around her ZAP!) Anyhow, I'll stop with the Christmas so you don't have to face the reality, just yet. I am getting ready for my test in November, I have made all of my flash cards and got a Exam review book that came with a very nifty cd rom that also has flash cards and practice quizzes. I have decided that through all the years of school that I didn't prepare properly for tests I am going to make up for now. The way I figure this is the last test I have to pass and I have 3 months till my first attempt. By God's grace it'll happen. And I sat down to write this thinking I didn't have a whole lot to say, guess I should have known better.

I'm off, till we meet again......

Ok I have a question, dont you hate when you are waiting for something in the mail? I do, and I really shouldn't be complaining because this paperwork has been going faster than I thought, but it is so hard to wait. Anyway even if it takes a little longer I think that I will have enough time to register and prepare for the November test! I am very excited about that, because I thought the test was in September, turns out I was wrong and I'm glad. (I know I've been gone a while, the papers I'm waiting for are my pharmacy tech certification, in case you didn't know) So everybody keep me in your prayers, and perhaps at Thanksgiving you'll be looking at a Pharmacy Technician.

Of course if you know me at all you will know that I still haven't printed pictures from Pensacola but I'm working on that right now..... Voila!

The Portofino, there are 4 more buildings like this one and 2 more to come.

Crazy family.

View from the balcony.

Another view from balcony.

And yet another balcony view.

"The Bandana Bandit." Ok all that work made me tired, till next time.
