M.I.A.

Hey everyone! So I’ve kinda been MIA for the past week or so. Basically, alot has happened. I DID have a pretty good Valentine’s Day. Court got me a locket, cookies, and a stuffed bear that is so soft. I’ll try to post a picture of my V-day goodies later.

For a while now my step-dad has been having some chest pains and then his arm started going numb from the pain. After missing two days of work he finally decided the pain was so severe that he needed to go to the ER. So Wednesday afternoon we took him to Redmond. I can not stress how much the ER sucks. Not only is it just “so fun” to sit around with complete strangers it’s always sooooo much fun to wait forever and a day. Evidently Redmond was swamped with people but chest pains should be a high priority. They had people in stretchers that came from ambulances lined up in the ER hallway. That’s how bad it was. So we sat around for a while before they finally called him back. We got there at 5 PM and he didn’t get called back until 9:30 PM. Basically they did an EKG, chest x-ray, and gave him some medicine. They also said that he needed to stay overnight and have a stress test in the morning. So we had to wait ’til 3 AM for him to get a room. The room was nice and at that time I was so tired that I didn’t think I could drive home so my mom and I stayed overnight. Luckily they had two chairs that folded down completely into a make-shift bed. It wasn’t that comfortable but it was better than the chairs in the waiting room. So after two nights in the hospital, they sent him home saying they are unsure what is going on. That’s really scared and I know he is scared since his dad died of a heart attack at a young age so he’s afraid he’ll die young, too. My step-dad and I don’t always get along but I do love him and I am glad he is apart of my life. I think he’s more proud of my life’s accomplishments than my own dad.

So basically that it why I haven’t been around. I haven’t slept much lately either. For some reason I cannot sleep and it’s annoying because I want to sleep. So anyways, I wanted to post a quick blog before I head into town to get some new shoes and go grocery shopping. I’ll catch ya’ll all later. And if I haven’t been on Trillian .. we have had some BAD storms so that + my insomnia is not making me a happy person so I’ve been taking care of things here and trying to straighten everything out. I’ll be back soon though! I promise!! I miss ya’ll @ Vertigo and my TCG buddies mucho!! *hugs*

Valentines Smalentines..

So Court and I are better today. We get the best of each other sometimes and then both our tempers flare. I know he didn’t meant to hurt me last night but it still made me sad. Maybe I’m just too sensitive.

So tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. What does Valentine’s Day mean to you? I don’t think we need a holiday to show people we love and care for them. Shouldn’t we do that everyday? Tomorrow to me is Wednesday and Wednesdays mean time to weigh in. So tomorrow I shall weigh in and then eat some chocolate. Lol. I don’t really expect anything special from Court. He’s not really the sentimental type so I won’t be holding my breath. I mean, it would be really nice to have some guy sweep me off my feet with roses and romantic gestures oozing from him but if I wanted that, I wouldn’t be with Court. I love him for him despite the lack of romance because when he does have a romantic moment it by far means more to me than anything since I know it takes alot out of him to be romantic. And it really irks me listening to love songs because do men like that really exist? Is there some guy out there who is a modern-day “perfect man” or is that just a myth? I personally believe it’s a myth. Guys can be awesome and sweet but no one is perfect and a perfect man wouldn’t make you cry and we all know every guy is going to make you cry at one point or another in your life. No one’s perfect and it took me a long time to realize that!

So on that note, I’m headed to bed since I have to weigh in @ 10 AM. Night everyone and I’m finally getting back in the blogging routine!

Pffft. Men suck.

You know it never fails that men are always ruining things, especially good moods. And another thing that isn’t fair about men is that they always know how to hurt you and never fail to bring those hurtful things up. A boyfriend should come with a mute button, who agrees? They are such buzzkills.

Anyways, I felt like blogging because as of right now I have nothing better to do. I had so many plans for the past two days since it was the bf’s off days but almost none of the things on my to-do list are done except our TV stand is now put together. I wanted my room cleaned and rearranged so I could work on cleaning out the closet this week but I guess that’s not going to happen. Oh well, I’d probably come out better rearranging the room myself. In fact, I think I will tomorrow. So until then, later.

My mom .. the greatest.

My mom is one of the greatest moms ever. She is always there for me and she’s more of a mom, she’s my best friend. My mom was in a wreck in 2001 and instead of just laying down and let her life fall apart because of it she fought back and that is why today we are able to keep our house and the reason I am such a strong person even though I don’t always feel that way. My mom is my hero. She taught me that when life gets tough you don’t sit back and let things run over you, you pull up your boot straps and get to stepping to make things better. I know my mom doesn’t think of herself that way since she’s had alot of stuff happen in her life to make her doubt her self-worth but she is the best. If it weren’t for her I wouldn’t be the person I am today and I would have given up after a certain event in my life. She makes my life worth living because I know in my heart no matter how many times I stumble and fall, she is always there to catch me. Any person would be lucky to have her. I love my mom and she motivates me to better myself.

Can ya’ll tell I’m a momma’s girl? Lol. I did get my computer yesterday. It’s nice to have a new one so I can pursue web design full-time and run all my programs at once. I’m currently rebooting my old computer and upgrading it for my mom. My mom wants a fast computer which my old one was it just didn’t have enough memory/hard drive for all my programs and I wanted a TV tuner to record my shows on instead of hogging our DVR. It’s kind of weird to have a new computer when about four years ago, a new computer would have been just a dream, not a reality. I only got one two years ago because insurance paid for my old one to be replaced thanks to stupid lightning hitting our tree. I’m just thankful for the things I have since money doesn’t come easy in my family. We make it and get by but we are not rich by any means. We have a nice house and we have some nice things in it but that doesn’t make us rich or wealthy. I don’t really value money like I did growing up since I know how fast money can come and how fast it can be taken away and I’d rather value my friends and family instead of monetary things. They last longer.

So miss-kate.com will have loads of more things once I fix my mom’s computer up and figure out my TV tuner and our wireless internet since it’s not working on my mom’s computer. I swear, we bought a RangeMax Router because our old router didn’t reach a wireless signal very far and now this one won’t configure on another computer. Pffft. Stupid network devices. LOL. So until everything fixed, I won’t be back. So that means no new blog for a day or two unless Court can fix it when he wakes up! And by the way Mom, I love you since I know you’re reading this since I told you to go here so you can see that you mean the world to me! <333 You’re my best friend and my rock and I know you will always be there for me which alot of people can’t say about their parents. Not everyone understands our relationship because not everyone has such a close relationship with their moms but I know a few people will understand and I know you will so that’s all that matters.

Computer Shopping!

Hey everyone! Well, I know my visitors have really died down when I let miss-kate.com slack off. I hate that but it’s gonna be fun building my site back up. I have alot of stuff planned for this domain and opening a few other sites on my new domain, thanks to Miranda. I love the domain name and I’ve always wanted a .nu. I will link it once I have all my fanlistings transferred over. That domain is my collective and fanlistings. Sweet-Cheeks is now a home for hosting. I love my Sweet-Cheeks family so I could never get rid of the domain. That domain feels like a part of me which is a little weird but I am sure there are others out there that feel the same way about their sites. I mean, my sites have grown as I’ve grown as a person. It’d be like throwing all those memories away if I were to get rid of that domain.

Today, my mom and I are going to Circuit City to look at computers. I have my eye on this computer package/deal located here. It’s a pretty sweet deal so I’m crossing my fingers and my toes that I get it. It’s kinda like a late graduation present. Plus, I’m going to be pursuing web design & web hosting full time. So, I need a computer that can run all the programs I want at the same time. My computer now can do that but I want a bigger hard drive and memory and my mom will get my computer I have now. We also plan on buying a new router that guarantees top speeds which is something we definantly need. My mom’s computer (which I am using now) doesn’t always have a strong internet connection so a newer router with a stronger signal will definantly help.

Well, that’s all for now. I am going to go so we can leave. I will be back later tidying up my button wall and doing some link exchanges to get miss-kate.com out there.
