Yeah, well...we're still here in lovely Tennessee. Don't get me wrong...I like it here. I am closer to my family and everyone I grew up with, but I really miss my friends in Florida. My husband was trying to get a job down there, but once again we got the run around. He went down to Orlando for an interview a couple weeks ago and they had told him that they were going to make him an offer. And of course something always has to queer the deal. Apparently, the president of the company, although he liked Randy, decided that he wanted to talk to this other guy that they had interviewed last year again, but the guy had turned down the offer because he wanted more money. Well, the guy found out that there wasn't anything out there and he decided to come back. And then, the v.p. of construction guy decided that he wanted to interview a 60 year old that was a friend of his. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? The guy is going to be retired in 5 years and you want to hire him? Oh my fucking God...and yeah, my husband was LIVID. BUT, I guess the guy that my husband was going to be working under really liked him and didn't know that this was all happening with the other two people. Well, he found out and he apparently got mad and called a conference with the pres and v.p. Obviously, it didn't help because the next phone call we get is that they all of a sudden decided not to hire anyone. Can we say...BULLSHIT? Whatever...needless to say, we are still try to get back to Florida. We really miss it down there. The weather, our friends, things to do...I didn't think we'd miss it that much, but we do. Randy has put up some more resumes, but I don't think anyone will be hiring anytime soon. At least he has a job, right? We should be thanking our lucky stars.

Okay...changing the subject. Let's vent, shall we? I have just one word...ALIMONY. FUCK THIS SHIT. It should have NEVER been a law at all. Do you know how many people are screwed because of this word? That word in the dictionary should read like this: ALIMONY; A FUCKED UP LAW THAT SCREWS THE PARTY THAT HAS TO PAY LITERALLY UP THE ASS. That's what it does. And the person that's receiving the alimony usually doesn't need it. It's just a way to get back at the other person financially. And why is it usually the bitches that pull this shit? Be a fucking woman and go out there and work. If I got divorced, I wouldn't want anything from my ex except child support. I don't need any other contact with him besides that. Why do you think they call it an ex? Apparently, some bitches like to keep holding on. FUCKING LET GO ALREADY! Whew...okay, I vented some. Anyway, all I'm saying is that alimony laws are fucked up. It shouldn't exist at all. And the judges are never fair about it. Someone always gets screwed. There are only a few ways that a person doesn't have to pay; if the other party gets married, co-habitates, or dies. Wouldn't the latter be so convenient? Ah, wishful thinking...

Well, let's get on a happier note. I am still playing TQ. Still awesome. I have the same rating as everyone else now...EAGLE SCREAM! So cool...and my character is getting better. She's looking pretty tough nowadays. If I get bored during the day, Tom and I ususally play for a while till Josh gets off of work and then he comes and joins us. But more over it's usually four of us; Josh, Ann, Tom and I. It's great. Jonathan joins us sometimes too. When it's just the two of us, Tom and I, he usually kicks everyone's ass and I get the gold...hehe...it's great. I like playing when all of us are on though. It's easier to level up. Plus we all skype and I get to hear Josh cursing...sometimes...hehe...he's funny.

Not too much going on today. It's beautiful out. I should get outside today. Maybe I'll go to wal-mart or something. At least get out of the house. I will try to keep posting as much as I can and when I have something interesting to write about. I just usually write about what's on my mind. Or what I feel like telling people about anyway...

Okay...so, I've never really had a blog before. I guess it's kinda like a diary, but since everyone can see it, I will not be putting very personal thoughts here. Anyway, I'm really excited that I have a blog. I have an awesome brother that helped me get it started. We have been communicating a lot more nowadays. It's pretty cool. I miss our younger days. I was always the little sister that tagged along...hehe...I don't think he minded too much though.

Well, I've gotten into this "gaming" thing. I really like it. Right now I'm playing Titan Quest. I love this game! I play with Josh, Tom, Ann, and Jonathan. It's a lot of fun meeting new people on line, but apparently there are a bunch of total chodes out there in the gaming world. I have never encountered them myself and I hope I never do. Anyway, I'm still new to the gaming thing. I've only been playing with the group for a couple of weeks. I will try to get more involved with a few other ones that Josh is having me download, but all in good time. Let's put it this way, I am not what you call "computer savvy", but I am learning a lot. People have to have patience with me as I do not know the computer "lingo"...hint, hint...but, I can follow directions pretty well.

Enough about that; lets talk about my kid. Oh, what can I say? A FREAKING LOT! I mean, how much energy do kids really have? WAY TOO MUCH! I don't ever remember being that hyper. Although I am told I wasn't a very nice kid and apparently there is proof on my adoption papers. Oh well. I can't say she is all bad, which she isn't. She is the cutest baby in the world, if I do say so myself. She does love her Uncle Josh. Everytime I am on the computer she asks for him. Oh, and its not "Josh" its "Dosh"...she tries. Anyway, she is going into her "terrible two's". Yay me. I am very grateful and fortunate that she has been a healthy child more or less. I had an awesome pregnancy and I didn't get sick as much as I thought I was going to. I did get grossed out at raw meat. I couldn't look or even be near it without wanting to vomit. The only meat I could eat was chicken. Even then I couldn't see it or smell it raw either. Other than that, I can't complain. If I got pregnant again (which I'm not going to be because she is all I can handle right now) I hope it would turn out just as good if not better. I do have to say that I would schedule another cesarian. Screw the labor pains. There is not enough medicine in the world to take that away. I told the stupid nurse to keep uping the dose, but apparently she didn't want to listen and the medicine she kept using to dull the pain stopped working. I didn't want to have a cesarian, but I wasn't dialating enough for my baby to get out. The doctor/surgeon kept pushing the c-section subject to the point where I was just about ready to kick him in his crotch. I understood why he was pushing it though. They didn't want her to get stuck because that would just have caused all kinds of complications. So I finally gave in. Okay, the medicine they gave me to make me go numb down there made me feel like I was freezing my ass off. I was shivering so bad it looked like I was having convulsions. Not cool. The nurses tried to keep warm blankets on me, but I was shivering so bad that they wouldn't stay on. To make a long story short, when my baby finally came out, it was the most wonderful day of my life. She was totally alert which I am told was unusual for a newborn. She was looking right at me. It's the coolest thing in the world. I am still not used to being a mother. When she calls me "momma", it still feels weird.

Anyway, I am tired as hell. And my baby is still not asleep. Can someone give me some baby knock out drugs? This is rediculous.

I will try to keep up with this blog thing. I kinda like it.

What the hell is Josh doing? On and off with the imm...apparently something to do with the server.

Okay, let's sleep...crazy child....
