YAWN

My song for this morning.




Well my boss called and gave me the day off, AGAIN. Not that I really am angry about it, but money is tight as usual, and our business has been slow at work. SO, what am I going to do with my day? CLEAN MY NEW BATH TUB!!! And take the longest, hottest shower in history. Well at least until our pathetic 40 gallon water heater gives out lol. Im SO HAPPY to have our own shower back!!! Sharing a tub with 4 other people isnt fun at all. Especially when they dont clean up after themselves.

We have done SO MUCH work to the back yard. Heres some pics and vids of Aaron up on the roof getting everything off the top of theback porch.







It already looks SO much better out there.

And Yaya had a blast in the back yard. Im sure she will love it once its fenced in.

someone sent me this and I thought it was wonderful

> You're an 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in. You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
> Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.
> Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
> He's coming anyway.
> And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.
> Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.
> And, he kept coming back.... 13 more times..... And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.
> Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman,died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise , ID ......

What a wonderful man.

Again

with the weird music. I have no idea who this is BUT LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE!!!


ALSO VERY COOL - Jens Lekman

OMFG I just realized

how much of a freaking GEEK I am. I was messing around on Best Week Ever's site, I found this other silly site (Right Music Wrongs)where you rate the crappiest songs ever. lol There I was chuckling to myself over Right Said Fred, wincing at what is supposedly music by a group called The Fast Food Rockers (youll see it at the TOP of the list), and BAM! I get hit by this rock in the face, and I realized I knew ALLof the words to this song.. and then the memories started coming back to me... laying on a fallen tree in the woods behind my grandmother's house with my Walkman blasting in my ears, singing at the top of my lungs! I AM THE ONE AND ONLY!



Even I am disgusted with myself, BUT I STILL LOVE IT

You should have seen me yesterday.

In a tank top and a pair of pajama bottoms sawing down small trees. I had a blunt hatchet, and pair of bolt cutters, and an OLD hacksaw. I got the front yard in pretty good shape now, and tomorrow at some point Im going to put a new border around the mailbox. Its from an old chess set Tony left here. They're castle walls. lol The back yard is looking much better, but theres still ALOT of work to do.

We also finally finished the front room. Aaron got his new desk, and we rearranged a few things to make it more comfortable and convenient. I moved the fish tank and the cd racks off my desk to make room for all my school work that Im sure is coming. lol

SO, I have fallen in love with another band. I posted one the day before yesterday from them but here is another. The video is just scenery as someone drives through whatlooks like Mexico. But please listen to the end. It really is beautiful.



That one tears at me every time i listen to it.

I dont have alot of time tonight, I have to be up early. Gnite!

this post will be a repeat for those of you on facebook

AND I deactivated the facebook account too, so... yeah... lol

I know I haven't posted in a while. A LOT has been going on. My mother was in town for a week, and then Haley and I went out of town for another week to East TN to visit her aunt Donna in Niota. Since we got back, Ive worked alot to make up for the time I missed. I'm still working on getting into school, and Ive been sick as well. I wont go into it, but I'm basically gonna have to have two teeth cut out, and its going to suck. lol

I wanted to come on and share some of the pictures from the trip!

Somewhere outside Niota.Center of Niota
This is Max.
And Dixie
And Molly.They are all great dogs. We played ALOT. lol Molly is a little firecracker.

Here we are driving to the Cherokee National Park. It was a BEAUTIFUL day.
We stopped in Joyce Kilmer to see the big trees. 400+ years old.
Someone told me recently when they saw this picture that only me and Haley find stuff like this.They arent redwoods, but for this area its pretty impressive.If you look close, you can see the trees are fighting very slowly over a rock.Cool abstract rock.Look! a little hobbit house!Another neat rock face. I take pictures of the silliest things.These pics are random images taken while 5K feet up on the mountains in Cherokee.
This was by the Tennessee Chees Farm we went to. MAN they had some good cheese!On the road home.

I also have a short video of our trip. Short because my cam will only film for about 20 seconds.


It really was a blast. We tried to mainly just RELAX. And not think about the troubles of our worlds. And it was awsome to really get some time with Haley. I had been missing her alot since we started working so much. I really was starting to get jealous of Jason getting more time than me!!! lol Anyways, Im off to bed. I have phone calls to make in the morning, and I gotta work a short shift.
