After a while

While removing pictures and posts on Facebook, I found this post I did.   It's one of the best things I've ever read.  When I posted it on Facebook, I included a picture of my mom.

Here it is.


After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning. And company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. And futures have a way of falling down in mid flight. After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So, you plan your own garden and decorate you own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure. That you really are strong. And you really do have worth. And you learn, and learn...with every goodbye, you learn.

Prank Call

I know this is old... but this is my all time favorite prank call I've ever heard. I can listen to it again and again. Win!

Skype

Skype has been a very important communication tool for me.  It allows me to connect with people who I never get to see in ways other than just texting.  I like to take snapshots of my calls so I NEVER forget them. :)

Julia doin her dance to "Low".

I love that she dances in her jammies.

I believe this is the pic closest to her boobs coming out.

This dance move looks a little bit more formal... but it wasn't.  She's a wild child. Dancing on webcam.

Look at those!

She danced thru the entire song and didn't know I was taking pics. :)

Dis gurrrlll got skillz.

haha I just L'dMAO at this

This should be her Facebook picture.

Those things were coming out. Damn you skype!

Caleb likes to create his own captions. LOL

This could be a mugshot fo sho.

We found a way to distort the pics and I believe Caleb got this one of me....

I was not stoned. I was only looking through files on my computer.

Skype is my friend.

A New Home

The new flight cage is here!  It only took about an hour to put it together.  I think the birds really like it.  It's huge!  It's a lot bigger than the cage Steve destroyed.  It's not as tall, but it's alot bigger.  I am aware the cage looks bare but I haven't added all of their toys yet.  The cage is in my office once again so I can keep the dogs away from them by closing a door.  It wont be so bad since I'm spending more time in my office now.

Happy Birthday, Mom

Today is Mom's birthday.  Not a day goes by that I don't think about her but her birthday is especially difficult.  I wish she could be here so I could give her flowers or take her to dinner.  Sometimes I miss her so much I can't stand it.  Everything reminds me of her.  I look at my bare windows in my house and think to myself that Mom wouldn't let the windows look that way.  She would've made us go shopping for curtains and blinds soon after I bought my house.

I tried to keep myself busy today so I wouldn't think about it being Mom's birthday but I couldn't stop thinking about her.  I went to KFC tonight.  That was her favorite.  I went to KFC on her birthday last year too.  It's probably kinda sick to celebrate the birthday of someone you miss so much by eating a piece of fried chicken.  But to me, it just makes sense.

I love you, Mom.  I can't wait to see you again.
