Been a LONG TIME!

Now Playing: There REALLY IS a "God" -- I knew it all along!
Topic: Feelin' Fine!
Been nearly 3 months since I've written. Danica took me completely by surprise by not returning the items as promised and not sending the balance on the swimsuit THEN calling ME irresponsible when I sent copes of my "collection notes" to her directors (it seems she may have "blocked" my e-mail address as well), AND THEN she insisted the directors/pageant organization was going to pay the balance. I never heard from them, but it became a BIG MESS and I ended up really disappointed IN HER (I felt "used" and "taken advantage of").

Last night, I heard from Sherri Winters re: a testimonial (re:wardrobe) I've had online for 3 YEARS! I DIDN'T "do anything wrong" for goodness sake. SHE'S the one who didn't return the items for 6 months. I need to learn to "keep things in perspective" and NOT allow these things to "get to me", AT LEAST when i KNOW I'm in the "right."

Tired, but couldn't sleep (nap). Hungry. More later.

Broke My Own Records Last Night!
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: Garlic bread and coke -- the COLA kind!
Topic: RE: Insomnia, that is! LO
This is my very first bog/blog entry. Although I was probably one of the first of my generation to get online backs in the early-mid nineties, I haven't even SEEN a blag to date! So this is a "first" in that area too.

Kinda tired. Broke all records last night re: insomnia. Up 'til 5AM. Even trimmed my hair -- what the heck, I actually "cut it". It's not a "trim" by any means. Birds were chirpping as I crawled into bed. Don't know "why" -- 2 glasses of coke at 8PM and no Kolonopin, maybe?

Surprised myself today, however. Really don't feel "too bad"! Thought this may be a "Recovery Day" where I spend most of the day in bed, sleeping, but I was up and moving at noon and have been ever since. Even got a few chores done!

Getting tired now. Don't want to nap, now though, or will be up again all night. Need to get "back on" (LOL) a decent schedule for this uupcoming weekend so I'll be able to function "normally" while at Josh and Mandy's. I'm really looking forwar to going but a little "hesitant". Afarid something'll come up again -- it has twice before and I'd really like to see Mikaila. I'm so glad the boys are such a part of my life, but sad because Mikaila doesn't even know me and, with the distance, will probably never even have a chance.

Pain hasn't been bad at all today, thank goodness! Even hip!

Magenta's geen "good" today. Of course, I've got her bone up on top of the hutch, but she hasn't begged (i.e., said "Please") much. Yet.

Danica should be done competing at Southern Sweetheart soon. I hope she's not upset with me because I wasn't able to go with her and I'm so sorry that neither Michael or Jacob were able to attend -- I know she's done this alone before -- but I hope she understands that Amy's not feeling well and I'm truly concerned about, not only her tooth, but her insistance about going to Bloomington today. I've thought about how, if Danica noticed the number on her Caller ID, she probably wondered "what" was going on. I hope she realizes I have to come home for Magenta as well as my sanity from time-to-time. :-) She wasn't feeling well -- not today and not Thursday afternoon when she was here. I hope she's not getting sick from having over-done it with three pageants so close together, plus work and school and her trip to Wisconsin.

More later. Since I'm new at this I don't know whether my entries will be daily, weekly, or monthly! LOL
