Jebus
I was the victim of an awful haircut last night. I am a strong, 28-year-old woman and I cried over a haircut. And I don't mean just cried. I mean convulsion sobs, snot flinging out of your nose crying. I left the store with a penis head. Here's what my hair looked like on Halloween:  I was very good and very specific. I asked for it to be 1 1/2 inches in the back and cut straight across above my ears. This is what I thought I was asking for:  Instead, I walked out with a penis for a head. In the back she cut it so unevenly that patches were 2 inches and others were 3/4 of an inch. She literally cut the front 1 full inch above my ear, shaved the difference with clippers, and left one of my sideburns 3/4 of an inch longer than the other one. She bobbed the front so it was nice and puffy. Here's what I left with:  So I called my friend Kyla (who is a barber but has decided that she now hates cutting hair) sobbing and begged her to come over and fix it. At least it is even now but I have no hair. I look like Ralph Macchio only with less hair. THE END. |

Chris and Jessica Lynn suffered a miscarriage at 14 weeks with their first pregnancy. Jessica became pregnant again and Jaxon Lynn was due next week. Jessica woke up exited this morning with back cramps and went to the doctor expecting to hear that she was in labor. Unfortunately the doctor wasn't able to find Jaxon's heartbeat. Jaxon passed away in the womb. Please keep Chris, Jessica, Jaxon, and their families in your prayers this evening and this thanksgiving. |

She lives in my backyard now. We hope to have her fully restored in time for Jon to drive his date to the prom. |

Skool, round 5
So I've been going to tech part-time for the last few semesters working towards a bachelor's in Spanish. Unfortunately working full-time in retail and having 2 kids is not very condusive to attending class. Had I actually been able to attend classes it would have been another 7 semesters before I could graduate. I was convinced that it was never going to happen. I watched my sister receive her EDS in May and was moved to tears- happy for her and insanely sorry for myself. My mom pointed out the fact that she didn't get her bachelor's until she was 34. I was poking around and found a new major that I can actually finish in 3 semesters! I will be taking a full load all 3 semesters- but I can complete 100% of it online. When I found this out- I literally cried. I had given up completely on ever graduating from college- and now it looks like I'm actually going to be able to do it. The other great thing- the degree will be in Organizational Leadership- which is perfectly geared toward my career goals. I love my current job and would like to move up in the company- this will give me the leadership direction I need. I AM SO SMART S-M-R-T |

Better late than never...
Hey, for the two or three of you that might not know- 'Lil Jack (Jackson Lamar) was born on July 1st at 4:17 in the afternoon. He was 8lb 1oz and 20 3/4 in long. There are a few pictures here, but there will be plenty more once Kevin drags his ass back from his super-lame and useless trip to Spain. |

Kevin, you'll appreciate this.
I have discovered that I LOVE PAMPERED CHEF. I purchased this at a booth at a vendor show I was working at. I paid $11 for it. I thought I was nutz... but the girl guaranteed me it would not burn or melt. SHE TOLD THE TRUTH. I fried rice (with butter... on high) with this thing yesterday and IT DID NOT BURN! I am certian this thing will last forever. It's incredibly flexible yet firm, great for folding, scraping, and stirring! BEST ELEVEN DOLLARS EVAR SPENT. |

Jon learned the word 'cookie' today. |
| 12:48 pm |
Oh lordy it's cold.
So we're (Tony, Jon, and I) are in Denver, CO. It's cold and we ate really good greek food yesterday. Oh. And by saying we ate really good greek food I mean Tony ate really good greek food and I had really good American food in a greek resturant. Tony is currently downstairs working on his van. The friend we're staying with is at work and Jon is asleep. Someone please entertain me. |

Warning- Serious stuff ahead
Ok, so I've pretty much fucked up my education. While I was pregnant with Jon I dropped out mid-semester. Now I owe TTU $741 and I can't get any aid until I pay that back and pay for a full semester of school. I can't afford that. Really. Also, I have no marketable skill other than "Do you need batteries to go with that cellphone?" I am deeply in debt and have considered filing chapter 7 bankruptcy as a last resort. You guys know I lost my job last Wednesday. Tony's VA money doesn't start rolling until November 5th so as of right now we have no income. Natrually, I am flipping out. Here's the deal- I am seriously considering joining the Air Force. Four years of job security plus when I come out I could have a marketable skill such as a medical/dental/optometry assistant. I'd get paid while I was learning plus I could enroll in the GI bill so I could finish college when I got out. I could request to get stationed overseas which I'm sure would be the only time I would be able to travel. After this semester Tony and Jon would move to wherever I was. It pays about what I could make here if I got a good job but room and board is also covered, plus pretty much anything I buy is tax free. If Tony found classes to take he would get a pretty big discount because I would be active duty. It also gives me a real reason to get in shape other than just feeling depressed about it. Downsides- Tony probably wouldn't be able to finish school yet. He could take classes wherever we were living but it would be difficult. I'd get to see Jon less because I know I'd be working around 80 hours a week. I'd be away from my family and friends (but a lot of my friends live out of state anyway) and away from Abusua which I'd miss terribly. I feel like this is a great opportunity to get my life back on track, which it desperately needs to be. Plus, if I decide to stay in I could retire at 45 and still go back and finish college. I just want to make sure I can create all the opportunities for Jon that I want to, and I know I can't do that at the educational level I am at right now. Thoughts? Feelings? I'd really appreciate any and all info you guys have. |

I FIT IN MY FAT PANTS

I will never run a marathon.
A very dear friend of mine, Joseph Rasmussen, died today. He had a heart attack while running a half marathon. He was 59. He was the director of Abusua, which most of you know I have been involved in since 1999. He has been a large part of my life and I will miss him terribly. It seems that every time something terrible happens to this country someone dear to me dies. A week before September 11, 2001, my dear friend Michael Kellum died. I feel guilty because all these people are suffering and I am crying for my friend. I'm worried about me, and that makes me feel guilty. Anyway, what is this, my LiveJournal? |
