Paige Nolley Writes: Zombies and Books and Blogging, Oh My!:
Daisy raised the Desert Eagle with trembling hands, taking aim at her husband's forehead. No. Not her husband. The walking corpse across the lawn was NOT her husband. She squared her stance, both hands on the pistol to contain her shaking, and blinked back her tears. As he staggered towards her, she whispered through gritted teeth, "I love you," and pulled the trigger.


Ok, Now, I don't know about you, but, this has piqued my interest. AND it also made me think more about the book I've been stuck on that just a small part popped into my head awhile ago. 

But, I definitely want to read more about Daisy! 

I found this site through craigslist and found it kinda neat. You can bid on stuff using credits that you get, you don't have to buy them and you get free stuff. Although I did find that somethings you do have to pay shipping for but otherwise, it's pretty neat.

Today my husband Matt and I have been together for 8 years. Today is our 'Anniversary' - the day we started dating - or I guess got together or what ever.

These eight years have been wonderful and I look forward to many more just like them in the future with him by my side.


The Way I Am
Ingrid Michaelson

If you are falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match

Cuz I love the way you say 'Goodmorning'
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I'll make it better

Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am

I'd buy you rogaine when you start loosing your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise
And You take me the way I am



I love you and wish you Happy Anniversary!

Well, we got a call today that was very unexpected and really brought up things we had not disccused in a while. The trouble with the economy is hitting a little to close to home for comfort and is really putting our priorities into gear.

My husband's boss called today and informed him that he (his boss) had just been fired. When I heard my husband on the phone and his reaction, I thought something even more terrible had happend, like his wife had left him or been killed or their daughter or matt was supposed to work today and wasn't there because he thought he was scheduled off. When he told me that his boss had been fired I was afraid that matt would be next; that they were gonna merge the stores and close his and give him the boot like I have been fearing would happen for a while now.

A few minutes later the phone rang again and matt left the room very seriously and thought this was the call we were fearing - he's getting the ax - I grabbed our son and sat in the chair and held my breath praying that he wasn't getting fired, that everything was gonna be ok.

When he came back into the bedroom he told me that he was being called into to close the store for the evening - his boss wasn't even allowed to finish his shift.

He told me a little more about what was happening. The District Manager of his store was there with the manager from the store across the street at the other mall. They came to fire J on the spot and the manager from the other store - L - was now to be manager of BOTH stores.

Theres lots of thoughts running amuck in my head; I'm scared that things aren't going to turn out well for us and he could lose his job and with my hours already being cut, I certainly can't keep us a float. Next month doesn't look very good for us as it is.

All I can do at this point is pray that things will be ok for us.

 

My son and I took a mini vacation up to my mom's for a week and while we were there we went to St. Louis. I have never been to St. Louis or to Arkansas for that matter or Missouri and was very excited to go. My son was thrilled as well.

It was wonderful to spend time with my family although I was only able to spend a day with my dad and not even a full one at that, but what time I did get to spend with him before he got a call for another job at another rig is better than none at all.

St. Louis was awesome! We went to the Arch and then around town a little bit searching for somewhere to eat. We saw Anheuser-Busch Inc. and then found a chicken place called Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken on S Kingshighway Blvd - it was fantastic! and the service was really great, everyone was super friendly.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention the Elephants we saw and took pictures with on the way to St. Louis! They were for Blackwell Motors and the very first one we saw was pink with glasses on! So we turned around and went back and took a picture with it and another one a little bit later.

And we can't forget the end!

After a great week we came back home and I drove 11 straight hours so that I could be home with my husband that I missed so much.

 

yay! My son and I are gonna go on a road trip up to my mom's place.

I'm so excited to go stay with her for a while and this will be so cool! B's first time out of state, he will get to go to 2 states for the first time and hopefully see some snow!! I can build a snow man for him .

This will be my first time to my parents new house and I can't wait to see it! From the pictures I've seen, it looks beautiful.

This will give my husband some time to relax and have a vacation from all the stress that's been going on.

 

I have been put on medication and I am waiting to see the dr. which apparently is gonna be a while.

I hope this stuff helps for now until I can see him.

I'm leaving today after work and we will be staying with my dad in Shreveport close to were he is working with a rig right now and then we will be going on up to mom's.

I've still got a few things that need to be packed, but other than that, we are all set to go.

It comes, now more and more.
I feel it at my back and it grabs my face, screams in my head. I feel it in my arms and hands and try to bang it out, but it won't work.

Red, that's the colour - I hate that colour, but that's the one.

Then, black, the void - falling and I can't stop it.

My throat hurts and I want it to stop; I want the red to go and the black too. I want to stop falling.

It feels like something is sucking my insides out and I'm afraid. I don't know what to do.



I went for a drive; I had to leave; I had to get away. I just drove, no where imparticulare, just drove. It felt freeing and relaxing to just drive. Not in a hurry to be. It's so cold outside and I want to be out there but I'm afraid to leave; I'm afraid of ppl; I don't want them to come over and I don't want to go see them. I want to be alone but then again I'm afraid to be alone and I don't want to be. I don't know who will win this internal war that is waging.

I guess I'll just ride it out and hope the red doesn't come back.
