Teeth Update

Ok so I got my teeth pulled yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I remember all of it, even though three friends told me I wouldn't remember anything. Best high I ever had though. hahahaha Anyway I didn't feel a thing until afterwards. I only took one Vicodin though. Advil worked for me after that.
All I have to do now is wait for this tooth to come down on my right side. Then I may or may not need braces. Anyway I was scared but once it got going and everything it was fine. Afterwards I just stayed home and watched TV and did laundry. Lee was wonderful and went and did all the stalls by himself for me :-) I woke up this morning, and while it feels a little weird, I don't hurt anymore. I just really hate the gap in my teeth now. Anyway I know Lee wants the computer so I'll blog more interesting things later. :-)

Poems and Pictures

So I'm in a romantic mood, and Emily Dickinson happens to be one of my favorites (although Edgar Allen Poe is my number one favorite) Emily writes more about love though so here are some poems and pictures I put together out of boredom on another hot one here in Virgina. :-)

"Hope" is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings without the words

and never stops at all.

-Emily Dickinson

"And we loved with a love

That was more than love"

-Edgar Allan Poe

"The horses paw and prance and neigh,

Fillies and colts like kittens play,

And dance and toss there rippled manes

Shinning and soft as silken skeins..."

-Oliver Wendell Holmes

"I love you so deeply,

I love you so much,

I love the sound of your voice.

and the way that we touch.

I love your warm smile

And your kind thoughtful way,

The joy that you bring

To my life everyday.

I love you today

As I have from the start,

And I'll love you forever

With All of my heart."

-Amanda Nicole Martinez

That's about it for the evening. Have a few things to do tonight then class in the AM. Until next time.

Blood and Gore in HD!!!!

So I am sitting here currently watching District 9 in HD. Its rather gory. I still love the movie though so that's besides the point. Anyway we picked the new HDMI cables at Walmart this afternoon for the new TV now that our friend Danny helped us put together the new cabinet. So it looks great! We got the PlayStation hooked up to watch movies, so we have Blue Ray, whooo hooo. Anyway we still need to get a HD box for the cable. But anyway it looks awesome.

On another note, Dooms day is Thursday. I have to go to the dentist to get my two baby teeth removed that I never had done when I was a kid. They have to remove those two teeth, then I'm going to be in braces for like 2 years, I'll be like 23 when I get them off! That's a little intimidating. They said it may take a shorter amount of time but it all depends. Anyway the scary part isn't the braces, its pulling teeth, I've never had anything like that done before some basically I'm scared shitless! I'll be ok, everyone says your lucky, you'll get great painkillers! lol. Yea cuz that's what I'm looking forward too...... sure. haha anyway so that's happening Thur. at 10:00am so it might be a bit before I blog again after wed depending on how I feel. So one small thing of bad news, I'm not going to be an aunt, at least not yet. She was just a little late. So everyone was kinda bummed, but there will be plenty more chances. Anyway that's about it for the day. Just staying inside again till this evening because of the heat advisory, its 100 degrees with the heat index, so we're staying cool after we ran errands this morning.

Im Gonna Be an Auntie!!!

Ok so I am unfortunately/or fortunately (depending on how you look at it) I am not blessed with any siblings. So my dreams of being a cool auntie where quelled at a young age. But luckily Lee has a brother! Anyway We got a call a few days ago and Lee's brother Tim and his Wife Shannon are expecting a wee little one in March. I'm excited, so not only is my best friend Tara having a baby in about two months so are Tim and Shannon. Its good timing for them, they've been married for about two years. Still really haven't talked to them about it though, I don't know if they where planning or not.



So I get to be a cool auntie. I'm just happy its not me yet, I'm not ready for a little bundle of joy yet. I'll wait until I'm in my late twenties. haha. So that's my exciting news for today. Not much else to write about, the humidity is killer here in old Virgina right now. So we're hiding in "the Cave" today. Just working on some homework and reading, wishing it was cooler in the house actually. haha. Weather Channel went out a little while ago, so I'm guessing there having some bad storms there now. I would like a few storms, it would at least cool things down some.

I forgot to say though, the horse show was a bust. The girl that ran PWHA last year screwed everyone over so no one came back to the association this year to run barrels and polls so we just packed up and went home. But that's ok cuz there's more shows a coming this year. Other than that just been a lazy summer. I wanna go on vacation but money is so tight right now, we have to find somewhere cheap. lol Anyway I'm just rambling now, the real reason I got on here was to announce that I finally get to be an Auntie!!! woot woot, plenty of spoiling kids and sending them back for me ahead. :-)

Embrace Life - always wear your seat belt

The Cave

Ok so this sounds like something Lee would do, haha :-)

Basically it has become so hot outside that the house has become Lee and my cave. We have nothing on but the computer and the TV, all other lights are off. the A/C is running and bottles of water are ready at hand. Luckily we have not had to venture out yet, and when I went to class this morning it was still cool enough that it wasn't horrible yet, and I managed to park in the shade today!! Go Me! So now upon returning from my journey I have decided to camp the rest of the afternoon here on the couch with my book and the computer. Tonight when the sun goes down, we will venture out to ride horses and clean stalls. This is how things must be done in Virgina in the summer, its a good thing I've always been a night person anyway.

Ok so next thing to talk about, I have a summery/response due Monday, its supposed to be on a CNN article that the Internet is making us Quick but shallow. Ok so maybe this is true, but it doesn't kill our creativity as Nicholas Carr states in his article that it dose. Blogs and Facebook, and Myspace, these let people express there creativity in there own way. Also he states Xboxs and playstations have become a form of entertainment, well hello, that's why i bought my Xbox. Now some technology is pointless and over cumbersome. maybe like the 200 different types of iPhone or whatever and iPads, I could really care less about those, I don't need one to function. But anyway I think this man has things way wrong, he has some good points about it, but it also all depends on the person. anyway Ill let you decide for yourself. Here's the link to the article:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/web/06/07/carr.internet.overload/index.html?iref=allsearch

That aside, I still need a good argument for my position paper due two weeks from now, well I need a topic by the end of the week. ha! that's the hardest part really, picking the topic. The rest is easy, I love to write.

So enough boring you to death with my school things. There is nothing else to exciting except that I finally got to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie. It was really close to the book, I was impressed with it actually. There where some things, but then again the movie was like 3 hours long as it was so they had to leave some things out. Anyway I still can't wait to get my hands on the second book. Just reading a John Grisham novel at the moment that a friend loaned me. Anyway so that's about it for the time being, time to either work on a little bit of homework or read my book for a few. So everyone, try to stay cool I know its hot all over the country right now, so be cool, safe, drink plenty of water, and no the signs of heat sickness. Here are a few heat related cartoons to put everyone in a better mood on this 100+ day.

hope you enjoyed

HEAT HEAT HEAT!!!

So today the love of my life and I are staying inside as long as we can. According to my weather bug right now in Lake of the Woods Va it is 101 degrees. I need a pool pass, but its gonna be a few more days before I get that. Anyway the 4th of July was good, didn't do anything exciting, it was pretty hot, and we couldn't see the fireworks from the house. So now we're staying in the house with all the windows closed and the AC on. Its just to hot to do anything else, I can't even go for a run today or work in the garden. So its just me, the computer, a glass of juice, my book, two adorable kitty cats, and the love of my life Lee. I can dig that. I even have all my papers done for class tomorrow! man I'm good today! :-) Unfortunately the rest of the week is supposed to be like this, in the triple digits. There is a horse show this weekend we're all attempting to get ready for but its so hot, we can't even go out to ride until its almost dark.
Anyway that's enough about the heat, for lack of better things to write, I've managed to get quite a bit out of talking about the heat. What I really need is a topic of the day, but I've always been not so good at coming up with topics. Once I get going I'm writing and that's it, but its a pain in the ass to get started. Alright, well Lee and I are watching a movie now, so its time to wrap this up. I'll be back in a day or so, hopefully I'll start coming up with better topics to talk about so I'm not boring anyone to death. anyway

So I've Decided...

- Jacked up trucks are for rednecks compensating for a small penis
-16 year olds should not be aloud to have kids (this is a fact)
-B.P. is full of stupid nincompoops that don't know there ass from a hole in the ground much less care about Americas crises
-the world should be limited for the next 6 years to one child per household, and you should have to take an IQ test to apply to have a child.
-people need to discover birth control and start using it.... o wait its been discovered but people aren't smart enough to use it.
-Twilight is over-rated, books where good, but if i hear "team Edward" one more time I'm going to go homicidal on someone
-alcohol should be banned because drunks kill and abuse people
-marijuana should be legal because I don't know any stoners who wanna go out and kill people. just eat a whole bag of potato chips.
-Miley Cyrus should be put out of my misery because shes a bad example for kids (i know i wouldn't want my child watching her parade around at 17 in her underwear shes a DISNEY for god sake.)
-ABC with its new teen pregnancy shows and teen obesity shows... that's whats wrong with kids, they're promoting bad things.
- o and millionaires, all those fat old bastards sitting on there money... take it away from them, liquidize there funds, distribute that money to people who really need it, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, i hate rich people more than anything, they have entitlement issues. just take there money away from there fat asses and pay some of this country's debt off... HELLO!!!!
- o and one more thing, whoever the hell left the shut off valve off the oil rig should be stoned almost to death, then hung.
ok so i think that's about it, man i wish i where president, this would almost fix the economy, especially if marijuana was legalized then the government could make money off of if more so than it dose now. and the millionaires have to go, they need to become extinct. I think these few points here would make a better world for our children and our children's children. But anyway who's gone listen to my smart-cynical-ass..... NO one, so the world will end in 2012 because of human stupidity.... not martians and meteoroids as the scientists seem to think. Nope in the end it will be all our fault, but the flaw of man is not to take the blame, so its pointless.
Conclusion
Humans-Egotistical Idiots with Entitlement Issues
