Summed up in one picture I took at Kroger's:

I didn't even notice the lottery bit till I got home and looked at it.  xD

Underwater Paradise: The JKA Morbid Edition

Assignment for Nature's Finest:

It comes first as a struggle. The cold is piercing and feels like thousands of needles stabbing your skin. As you realize what is happening, your limbs struggle to pull yourself back to the surface, but your body is frozen phsyically and mentally in fear. As the longest minute of your life passes, your lungs realize that they are starving, they want air, oxygen.. just a breath. Even though there is no oxygen left in the breath you are holding, you fear letting it go, knowing there will be nothing but water to replace it. However the time comes when you finally decide to give in. You open your eyes and take in your surroundings: swaying grass and leaves, everything enveloped in shades of blue, and green. You exhale the last bit of air that you had clung so desperately to, and the bubbles surround and you begin to lose the bitter feeling of cold as it is replaced with something dark but warm... your underwater paradise.






Extra: another version that isn't uumm greenified.. prettier but doesn't look as... under water:

Temptation - Simply Sassy Entry

Temptation

Pale, pristine, and beautiful I am.
Fragile, tragic and made of porcelain
Soft wings of white when barely touched
Shed their feathers into the air

The dark being glares into me
Red eyes glowing
Indestructable, made of the hardest stone
I feel my senses heighten

I fight the fight, I push against
but my wings are ripped off
feather by feather
I lose the battle with temptation

For Rusty Venture

Maybe it's the wine making me feel a bit sappy at the moment, but I just felt like I wanted to make a blog post dedicated to my dog.  Was going to say it's been a hard week, but honestly it's been a hard year.  My husband lost his grandmother, my mom and I lost a friend to murder, his grandfather was hospitalized, my grandfather was hospitalized and now my grandmother.  I'm probably missing something, but I can't seem to keep track anymore.

However there seems to be a constant for me and my husband that makes us smile and gives us warm fuzzies.  When we get home, this fuzzy little critter is on the back top of the couch in the window, waiting for us, and is always ever so happy to lick our hands... is incredibly stange and sometimes gross way of showing affection.  Ever grateful for as simple of a thing as a walk in a park, his happy little butt wiggles with excitement at any thing.  He loves people, and is just the cutest thing on the face of the earth.  So anyway, here is some picspam of the great Rusty Venture:

Donations

There are a lot of horrible things going on.. lots of tragedy and disaster.  Australia, New Zealand, Japan etc have all had absolute terror lately and they're in my thoughts as I'm sure they are yours.  Just wanted to spread the word/link around to the red cross donation page in case anyone is interested.  The American page is here.  I know you can allso text... I think redcross to 90999 to donate $10.

Masquerade Entry

"Carmen... Your father was speaking to you," her mother said as the room became silent.  Everyone at the table looked at Carmen.
"It's a book," she said, not looking directly at her father.
"Is this why your grades are suffering?  Do you not remember how hard you worked to get into that school?  You don't go to Notre Dame to become a fucking fantasy writer, Carmen!!"

"Dan..."
"No, Nancy, this isn't okay.  How much are we going to have to cover up for you, Carmen?  How many stupid mistakes are you going to make?  I know about the booze too. Now we have to make sure no one knows you're a drunk as well?"
Carmen dropped her fork.
"A DRUNK?  How about a 22 year old in college?  How about a girl who wants a fucking life?!?"
With that she stormed off.
In a blind rage she stormed into her parents' bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet.
"Xanax, Klonopin, Percocet.... how hypocritical can you get??!" she thought in her furious rage.
Blinded by anger and powerlessness, she grabbed the bottles and opened them, popping whatever pills didn't fall to the floor.
"I can't half-ass this," she thought, "If I'm going to finally do it.. I've got to do it."
She found a dagger she'd hidden in her room, ran back to the bathroom and kneeled over the tub.  She made the slit in her arm, down the road of course, and before she knew it the effects of the drugs had started.  She buckled to her knees before she could even get in the bathtub, the blood draining into the tub. Blackness overcame her.

Relocation possibility

There is a small possibility that the hubby and I may be moving to NC toward the end of this year.  I'm really trying to get my hopes up, and I know I'm assuming that this is just going to be a fix-all to all of my problems.  (Really though I have my reasons..)

First of all I know someone who has worked in a hospital in the area and they did three 12 hour shifts there.  I've been wanting that for like.. ever.  Four days off a week?  Sign me up!  Also looking around at real estate it seems we might more bang for our buck there as much.  Why?  Despite the fact that no one wants to live here necessarily, decent flat land is hard to come by in these parts.  There just doesn't seem to be much for sale here in our price range anyway.

I'm also excited about living in a city or near one anyway.  It would be something totally new for me to actually be in a place with *gasp* public transportation and such things like that.  And exploring google maps street view has us loving the place as well.   As soon as I get some time off of work we're going to take a drive down there and check it out :D

Anyway, sorry about the RL stuffs.. just WAY excited.  It's not a definite, and maybe it's not going to be as cool as I think if it is, but I'm kind of feeling like if we get settled there and have a house with room for a nursery lol I might be more inclined to start a family *gasp!*

Are You for Serious!?

I'm so freaking happy.  Wanna see why?


This. 

Some Comp assignments lol

I'm a lil behind.  I don't think there really was a written part to any of them.  Just gonna randomly post the pics xD


Major Picspam xD  Better than listening to me rant about work right? Which is what I'd otherwise be doing.
