| I just wanted to let anyone who was interested know that I no longer update Xanga, and that I use my LiveJournal now for all of my rants and blogs. If anyone is interested in friending me there, or even just occasionally looking me up to see what's going on, I'd be glad to see you over there. *hugs*

| Tonight James went to the Olive Garden with my
parents...YUM!!! My favorite Italian Chain
Restaurant. Then we went to Half-price Books where I bought cheap
CDs. Now we're at home and I'm relaxing before my big wedding
tomorrow. I am EXAUSTED!! Seriously, I could
sleep until next year.

| Tonight is Thursday which means.......drumroll, please.......
Smallville and Grey's Anatomy! And not at the same time!!!! I LOVE THURSDAY'S!!!!!!
Today at work was good. We lost another student to jail and I got
to interrupt a good make-out session under the stairs and write them
up. Although, I must say that writing people up for making out,
especially when they are 16 and 17 somewhat makes me
uncomfortable. I mean, there are people who marry right out of
high school. It's just a bit weird for me. But as
these kids are in AEP, which means discipline, discipline, discipline,
I didn't have much choice other than to excercise my 'teacher' rights.
I met up with a client at Starbucks and gave her her engagement print
proofs, and then went to go get gas, as it was day 4 of driving with
the bright red light on....Then I went to the bank and got money
because James and I are eating at RAZOOS tonight! Yeah!
Also going to Barnes&Noble. It will be just like a
date!
Oh, to date. That was the good ol' days. When we had friends....
We are meeting a bunch of James' friends at Razoos and it will be the
first time we've 'hung' out as a couple in front of them. I'm
going to play the passive, supportive wife, probably...as these people
probably aren't used to the comrodarie that James and I share and our
passion for...well, passion.
Or just us being us.
Either way, I hope we don't run them off, screaming down the streets, waving about some 'lunitics' that they met in Razoos.
Speaking of which, this one time....
:)

| Today I've spent the day trying to figure out how the Harry Potter and
the Prisoner of Azkaban movie forshadow's the final Harry Potter
Book. Many clues...many clues...
I think it perfect that the release date for the 7th book is 07/07/07. Isn't that absolutely perfect???
The puppies have been atrocious today, constantly fighting and never
calming down. Nova climbed up onto the couch during dinner and
tried to eat my plate into tiny little pieces. I got a wedding
scheduled for next year today, which is good. I've got to do
laundry...am almost out of my work-wear.
Work was the same today, though I am re-reading "The Shoebox Project"
and am LOVING it again. I just am constantly in awe of the things
and stories that people create.
Anyway, must go back to PoA movie...It's getting to the part, "EXPECTO, PATRONUM!!!!"
I love that part.
::laughs gleefully and skips off to enjoy said movie::
XOXOXOXOXO
Are you supposed to end with the X or the O?

| I realize that it's been...forever since I posted last. Things
just got busy. That's life! I am currently singing Frank
Sinatra's "That's Life" for further effect.
I've been keeping in touch with Leigh Anne and Jay and speak and email
to them quite frequently now, which I am very pleased to say. I
am as proud as a friend in Texas can be of their gorgous baby girl,
Raeleigh Anne. Even her name is one of the sweetest ones I've
ever heard. Today in the mail we received a DVD of their new
family and their life in San Francisco. It was the most sweet,
touching, and loving movie I've ever watched. Of course I
absolutely bawled through it.
James is working tonight, so I've been at home working with the puppies
fighting in the background. One of them threw up on a couch
cusion this morning, I guess, because when I got home there was dried
stuff, which made me want to puke, so I did the only thing
possible. I grabbed the cusion and set it outside for James to
clean up when he gets home. Husbands are good for somethings!
I am currently working as an AEP teacher, which has been not only a new
and somewhat cringing change at times, it is teaching me a lot about
troubled kids that I always before labeled them "bad kids" or
"losers". Now, working one on one with kids that get kicked out
of school, it has made me have a slight paradigm shift. I want to
just take some of those kids out of their family home-lives and give
them to parents who 'care'. These kids don't have love.
They don't have familiarity. They don't have comforts of home, or
food some of them. I have a 6th grader whose parents are drug
addicts, where they keep him up at all hours of the night, where the
only thing he can do at school is sleep. Parents - why have kids
if you aren't going to be parents and raise them???
It's cruel.
I help as much as I can. I realize now the phrase, "I can only do
what I can, and it's never enough, but for now, it will have to
be". It's so sad.
But I'm enjoying.
My photography has jumped to the next level, it's night and day to last
years struggling. Finally, I am supporting us in a way that I'm
not embarrased about.
Currently am still on my Harry Potter kick - only now I've gotten Leigh
Anne equally obsessed. We've been writing novel length emails
back and forth speculation on what will happen in the 7th book, and
what we think this is and that. I have to admit, it's been a
large highlight of my day.
I have a few new favorite TV shows that I NEVER miss. Of course,
there is Smallville Season 6 that James and I absolutely adore. I
have also become the hugest Grey's Anatomy fan. Like the biggest
one ever. Seriously. I love it. Also, House. I
just bought Season 2 on DVD and LOVE it.
Our puppies are growing so big and are learning more each day.
They've finally settled into a routine, and I am proud to admit that
they are finally pretty much housebroken. Night and Day.
James starts clinicals in a few weeks, which will be a new experience
for both of us. Our schedules will be different and our income
will become even more positive. What's so absolutely great about
our lives at the moment is that they can only go up from here. We
did the rock-bottom poor newlywed thing. We had our fights where
we almost split up and we had our makeups, which were fabulous I must
add. We've been robbed, I got diagnosed with cancer, I got
Scarlet Fever, James got food poisoning, we went to different
countries, we got giardia, we've gained weight, we got puppies, we
lived on Roman for a month, we finally got those TV antennas so we have
TV now, and in a few months we will be buying our first house.
I NEVER realized what people meant when they said that the first year
of marriage is hard. Umm. I've been there. It's
hard. It's harder than anything in the world. Harder than
finals week of your last semester of college, harder than being robbed,
harder than anything. But at the end of the year...it's worth
it. I was lucky enough to marry my best friend. It's so
much better than just being in love. We like the same
things. We play together on Video games and watch the same movies
and tv shows. We go on walks together and laugh all of the
time. Except when we're furious with each other. Then I cry
and he apologizes and we are usually okay after that.
Our puppies found our sock basket - yes we absolutely are too lazy to
fold them and match them, so we just keep them in a basket. Now,
we have random socks strewn all over the house, and I feel as though
all I do now is follow our pups around, picking up socks.
Also, I've developed an addiction to tweezers. Has anyone ever
realized the fun that can be had with pulling out unwanted hair, or
fixing a cuticle, or just flexing them open and closed to give your
hand something to do. Lately, I've found tweezers to be great
stress relievers.
