The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

You see this? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yea, that's pretty much the reality of last night/this morning hehehe *huge smiles*



On a spur-of-the-moment induldgence, Christy and I went out for a drive, without the boys. We didn't really have anywhere specific to go, but of course, aimless drives are our usual routine to begin with. Anysway, we got into the car, got onto the highway, and jus kept going *Sighs* It's amazing what you can do with a little money in your pockets, no kids, and 3/4 of a tank of gas...



We talked (and yes, really communicated finally *big huge smiles*, listened to really good music, and still jus kept driving. After a while, we decided to pause our unknownish journey for food. I saw a sign for Cracker Barrel and thought "ooooh" so I took the exit and followed the curve. Well, I took the turn toward the parking lot and, jus like a big slap in the face, saw the entry point for Applebee's. We both looked at each other....and parked there instead *bigger smiles* We both had the sirlion and for mine, instead of the 'normal' way they cook it, I requested that they 'marinated' it in garlic butter....OMG....*drooools* If you haven't tried it...ya need to! LOL

Luckily, the waitress we had, jus so happened to be married to the cook, so I felt special hehe...



*Ahem* Moving right along....



After our very enjoyed dinner, we drove a little farther down the highway. That got even more interesting.... *giggles incesently*

Let's jus say she got a little frisky along the way. Let me tell you if you ever want a new experience...Wooohoooo while goin' 75 mph!! ♥ ♥ ♥

And then, lol, we found an exit to turn around and start heading back home...after stopping at a gas station for umm..somethin to drink :)



But, little did we know, the trip wasn't over there. Since Christy thinks I look good in mascara, we decided to go get a tube of my own. For a sort of 'play on words', we took a little detour into a local sex shop. It had been quite a while since we bought any new toys so we figured, why not? And we found something for which we both could enjoy...throughly. *Blush*



When we got to Wal-Mart, we found one that I really liked...which was almost a miracle taking into the understanding my usual feelings about wearing any kind of make up at all lol. And after that, we finally came home, got the boys in bed, and stayed awake until about 9 this morning. Hehehehehe



Needless to say, I love my Baby. I'm so happy we had the opportunity to go on our little adventure last night !! WOoohhooooo!!

We have been kinda tryin to get the boys into watching scary movies over the weekend. Last night we watched "I Am Legend" and "Signs". Both of them have said that the latter scared the crap out of them and they don't want to try to watch it again untill they're a little older...Okay, no problem. It scared me the first time I saw it too...prolly not as bad, but still...lol. Anywho, we went over to Christy's parent's house and what happens? Yea, they're tellin' Granma & Grandpa ALLL about "Signs". I mean every single detail!!!! *snorts*

As I've said in my profile, I was the 72nd person to join this site. Obviously, it's grown jus a tad since then lol. From there, many many people have come and gone...and come and gone again. Each time starting anew with a new face and new name. So, in seeing this, I've taken a look at myself. Heh, I've only changed my name once, but still held the same profile/content for the most part.



I guess I jus find it funny that I should remain the same and everyone else that I observe...okay, not everyone, but quite a few, should choose to be something of a "phoenix" from time to time. Who knows, maybe I've jus got a different perspective than most.



Hmmmm....

Everyone else is the house (including even the animals) is in their deep trance of slumber... except for me. This has been my way for quite a while now, and I still haven't been able to do anything to change it. Alone. That's the main theme of my nights lately. Heh, I don't even have my other insomniac buddy around anymore... at least not for now. But, seeing as how I always try to see that 'silver lining' of things, maybe I can start working on training my body to a better sleep schedule again.



I can do it, I know I can... because I can't stand this stupid urge too much longer. An urge, some would say, that could send me spiraling into a darker place I'd rather not have my soul to venture. No....that's not me and it never has been. If I can sleep for about four hours...yes, that should work. Any more than that and I'll sleep for too long; any less, will make me nothing short of a zombie for the rest of the day. So this is my goal, my plan for change. Four hours asleep, wake up, stay active untill "bedtime"; and then I'm sure I'll be on a better track for 'recovery'.



Goodnight, VR, see yall in a little while...I hope

Me and the boys went to the local library after dropping off Christy at work today. I decided that as part of my 'cirriculum' this summer, there would be a heavy basis of keeping their creativity levels high to go along with their regular studies 'upkeep'. I've checked out 8 "How to" books for : Greeting Cards, Origami, Pop-up projects, and various ways for the use of paper crafts.



Anysway, we all sat down tonight and did a project together. We each made a little 'fox' paper puppet.... In the process of this, we asked them to identify the "middle" of the folded paper and what does my 8 year old say? "Oh, it's the Symetry Line!" *dumbfounded slightly* What the hell?!? I didn't learn that term until I was like 12 and taking Pre-Algebra.... *sigh* Kids today lol

Why do you say, "I love you, " when I've done something you don't like? You don't try to discuss it...you jus say those three words and end whatever course was trying to run through and stop it, dead in its tracks. It's so frustrating....and then, of all things, you sit and wonder why I get quiet. I know for a fact there are a few things we don't agree on; that's the way it's supposed to be. I've learned such patience since we've been together, but sometimes that isn't enough to let questions unanswered or topics completely avoided.



Jus talk to me.... isn't that what you're always wanting me to do? "I can't fix it if I don't know it's broken..."

So the boys are out for the summer...Yay!!! I'm supposed to be starting their "summer homeschool" in the next couple of weeks. Yea... I'm at an almost complete loss for what to do this year. But, I know it'll be more organized than last time, and with that I can take comfort.



In other news, I've been feeling really confused as of late. What did I do and how can I fix it?!? Only one person could answer that question...and I hope they do soon; I miss them...

She's officially a permanent employee of the job she's been working since February. Didn't get the pay raise we expected, but now, she gets all the benifits. Congrats Stars-Baby; I'm soo happy...for all us!!!! ♥ ♥

It seems like jus yesterday that he was here...right here; laughin' and catchin' up on the 17 years that we've missed in the other's life. And now, he's over there, fightin' the good fight as they say. I'm not sure why it bothers me so much. I've had countless friends and family deployed and most of them always come back unscaved. But, as I said, there was a period of 17 years of "MIA" on both our ends and we JUST got back to each other. I guess it's jus that primal fear that everyone must feel when they need to endure the 'absence' of a loved one. Let's see, he's in the Army, so that means there's a minimal possibility that his tour will last anything short of 6 months to one year.... I know he's coming back; I have to. So I'll be trying my best to stay strong for my brother; for his wife; and try NOT to look at any dark clouds that may arise.
