  • Gods, I love limbo.. really... I received a set of odd phone calls last night.  Some girl called me three times, and then called me a fourth time from Honey's cell phone.  Which apparently is where she got my number the first three times...


    Anyways, yeah, went through the angry stage, through the tears and then started attempting to look at the situation rationally.  It could be a couple of different things, but I don't know what it is yet.  And I don't know how I feel about it either.  I do know, I want answers, so we'll see when he calls me after the voicemails I left, cause I'm not calling him again.  I'm stubborn like that, and I refuse to act desperate. 


    So yeah, we'll see what he has to say and see what I really believe is going on, though my friend Eric's instincts have reassured me somewhat.  His instincts, which are quite dependable, even when his focus is diffused, tend to agree with mine on this situation, so that gives me some comfort that it's not just wishful thinking on my part. 


    But yeah, we'll just wait and see some more... back to limbo...


    On the upside, in about an hour and a half, I'm going to a coworker/friend's house for a lingerie party.. That should be fun:)

  • Updates...


    I know I've been rather absent the last few days, and considering the major mood swings I've been having, this is probably a good thing.  I'm still feeling a bit off kilter, and needing time to talk to honey that I'm not getting just isn't helping anything...  So I've made myself scarce around the boards, knowing that the mood I'm in doesn't help my writing and can cause problems that I would have to apologize a lot for later.


    So yeah, that's where I am... Just kinda taking a break, and I hate that it's from my writing, but at the same time, I have nothing.  My brain will not focus on anything for more than a few moments, other than the RL stuff in my head and in my heart.


    Work is still insane.  We're short handed, as usual.. and one of the girls was having trouble with her blood pressure last night, and another's daughter is in the hospital in Pittsburgh.  So Patti went today to join her husband and her daughter, and I'm going in at 10 tonight to cover her shift.  I just couldn't say no when the manager sounded so desperate. 


    This song has been particularly hitting me lately, given my mood.  I totally understand why, and I just wish I could make someone else hear it... Though that would probably require more time to talk to him than I've had since he's been home.  It's sad, I heard from him more when he was in Iraq than I do now...









    Long, Slow Kisses


    by Jeff Bates

    Hey baby, I guess you're wondering
    What I'm doing home so soon
    Naw, I ain't sick
    It's just, this morning when you told me
    You didn't feel like you were
    special anymore
    Well that broke my heart
    So I had to turn around and come back
    And tell you what I'm gonna do about it

    I'm gonna light the bedroom candles
    Take the phone out of the wall
    We can lay around and talk for hours
    Or maybe we won't talk at all
    I'm gonna resurrect the love
    That slipped away from us
    And the man you've been missin'
    Startin' with some long, slow kisses

    I just wanna let you know how ashamed I am
    For making you feel that way
    Darlin', I'm so sorry
    I guess I've just been focusin'
    Too much time on making a living
    And way too little on making love
    But if you can just find it in your heart to forgive me
    Girl, I swear from this moment on
    You'll always know where you stand with me

    I'm gonna light the bedroom candles
    Take the phone out of the wall
    We can lay around and talk for hours
    Or maybe we won't talk at all
    I'm gonna resurrect the love
    That slipped away from us
    And the man you've been missin'
    Startin' with some long, slow kisses

    'Cause what really matters most
    Is you and me this close
    Feeling no distance
    Sharin' some long, slow kisses
    Sharin' some long, slow kisses

  •  YAY! HE IS HOME!!!

January 7, 2005

  • Ok, time for a good news update:


    I heard from honey last night, he's currently in Kuwait.  It's not home, but it is out of Iraq and it's a step closer to home.  So, that's a big improvement from worrying that he's one of the soldiers being lost in Baghdad.  My heart breaks for their loved ones at home, but there's still that part of me thanking the Gods that it's not him.  When I found out that he was in Kuwait, I almost cried with the relief it brought. 


    Anyways, that's about it on this end, I'm fairly out of it lately, just tired and not sleeping well.  The muse is pretty quiet, I'm having no luck with all but two of my characters, so I do what I can with those two, and sometimes I can't even get them.  And I've just felt restless and itchy for lack of a better term...


    I think maybe AnThaya was right when she theorized about Earth's karma trying to readjust... I've been moody and wanting to snuggle up to honey more than usual.  And soon, I'll get that chance... lol.

  • Ok, update time again.  I'm currently on my new laptop, still installing stuff and getting everything set up the way I want it. I have to install PSP 8.1 yet, and a few other things, but we're up and online and YAY!!


    Now if I'd just get that phone call I've been waiting on... Oh well, guess I can't get everything... LOL

  • More updates:


    Good news is I've talked to honey a few times in the last couple days.  He could be home as early as Jan. 1st. BIG Yay!


    On what Eric advised me of, I don't think I have anything to worry about, Eric's instincts tend to agree, he just couldn't NOT say something to me, which I respect, and appreciate. 


    More good news.  I finally broke down and ordered a laptop.  Gram and Mom are buying a new computer for the house, for downstairs, and I decided I wanted my own laptop so once this beast dies, hell with the warranty, we're just going to let it go.  Gram and Mom have a new Dell shipping to them now, with a flat screen monitor, 512MB of Memory, that Dual SDRAM stuff I think, 60 or 80GB hard drive.. It's a nice system, and thanks to work, I get a decent discount, which is doubled if we get the 3 or 4 year warranty.. which we did.


    And my laptop has a full gig of memory, and a 60GB hard drive, so I'm excited.  Hehe.  I also have a 2.8Gh P4 in it.  Got an external floppy, 256MB memory key, and a surge suppressor/mini-usb hub thingy too.  We bought a wireless router today, I'm going to hook that up to this beast tomorrow during Kellen's naptime I believe.  Then provided all our wireless adapters and such work, we'll be all set up to run three computers until this one dies, and then we'll be down to two.  Gram just needs to get a desk for the middle room, and get the other stuff out of there, and I need to get something for up here, like an inexpensive vanity or something with a good chair so I can sit here and relax, though I can always be on my bed with a laptop.. hehe.. Anyways, that's the news from here..

December 26, 2004

  • Yet another update:


    I don't like holidays.. too much family time, too much stress and just not enough time.  Kellen got a pile of new toys and some new movies, he couldn't even finish opening all his presents yesterday, he wanted to play with his toys.


    I got some clothes, and some candles.. lots of candles...


    And I just heard from honey tonight, as I left work, for the mildest of the last four hell nights... I worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday and tonight, and they were all nuts.  But tonight was the easiest of them.  And then honey was trying to message me, but I was still there and I messaged him as soon as I could, and when I got online, it was time for him to go... Didn't even get a goodbye kissy face:(  And it just sucks.  I so need to talk to him, like really sit down and talk and I can't do it and this whole no contact thing is just awful.  And no one at home gets it, they have never understood how it's so much easier for me to have friends scattered all around the world than it is for me to have friends here.  But I've always found it easier to be accepted online than I have here at home.  Here, I've always been the outcast, and I'm not that online anymore, and they just never understood that.


    But yeah.  Eric heard something that made him advise me to be cautious.  Eric never advises me to be cautious unless he's heard something pretty bad, so I need to talk to Honey, see just what's going on, from the little bit I got out of Eric...But yeah, this majorly sucks.


    Anyways, that's what's going on...

  • Anyone else noticing that an awful lot of us from the boards are more right brained?  Except of course, Steph, and someone has to keep us organized...:p


    Your Brain Usage Profile:


    Auditory : 52%
    Visual : 47%
    Left : 45%
    Right : 55%


























    Brianna, you are moderately right-hemisphere dominant and have even preferences between auditory and visual processing, traits that might make people perceive you as "slightly off balance."


    You are most likely to be slightly disorganized, a "dreamer" and a person who focuses more on the end result than the immediate task at hand. You are creative and spontaneous if somewhat lacking in direction and focus. You are a learner who is generally patient and a person for whom time is an ally, not an enemy.


    You are more passionate than most people with regard to life and learning and recognize your own intuitive abilities. You have sufficient goal-direction to satisfy yourself and guarantee success without being or feeling driven. You are willing to be reflective about yourself and others without getting lost in rumination.


    The balance of your sensory modes allows for both learning and expressive capabilities achieved by few. You are active and "seeing" while retaining an equally strong propensity for being reflective which slows you down a little but allows for a more comprehensive perception and analysis of situations and problems. You do not spend excessive time analyzing since you mostly trust your perceptions.


    In all likelihood, you have a tendency to overcommit and cannot under- stand why others get upset since you operate on a different "time table" than they do. Your organizational abilities are frequently overwhelmed by the stimulation seeking and active nature of your mind as well as by the tendency to create new categories and gloss over details, making categorization and classification almost impossible at times.


    To the extent that your career path allows for creativity and abstraction as well as a bit of disorganization, you should find yourself equipped to handle any learning that is required. Your own personal adjustment to your style should come naturally although you are likely to feel frus- trated by your own limited discipline and often wonder "Why?"

  • Oh gods, I'm exhausted.  We did our Sheetz Family Christmas shop yesterday, so that means I came home from work Friday night, at least I only worked until 9, then went to bed at 12:30, was up at 6, did the shop, got back over an hour later than we were supposed to cause they let the second group of stores in too soon, came home for all of 20 minutes before Kellen got back from mom's Christmas party at work, played with him for an hour, and then went back to work from 3-11.  And then archived two more boards at Ingralies.  Yeah.. Made it to bed around oh... 3 something... and I'm feeling it today... But I work 3-9 and then I'm off for FOUR whole days... Monday and Tuesday, I need to work on my final paper though and it needs to be in by 5pm on Wednesday.


    But yeah... I'm going to go curl up in a ball now...
