My New Year's Eve - gotta share this one with you all

I'm sittin here so full of pride right now that I am about to bust out at the seams ...

Why??

Because as I type this message to you all, my 2 incredible sons are busy packing up their Playstation, 14 games, and 2 controllers with their own little "message" to the recepient and contents of the box written for my friend's neighbor kids that don't have a video game of their own ...

I am so proud of their generosity right now, I'm beyond words to describe it ... I snapped a picture of it for memories sake because I never want to forget the look on their faces when they've done their first act of charity all on their own ...

Being a momma at times like this is the best gift I've ever been given in my life ... I hope you all experience this feeling in your lifetime because it's worth more than all the money in the world

Thanks for letting me share this moment with you - May you all have a great 2005!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ~ FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

CJ calls this shot "James Blondes," lol

They are playing with their new BB guns they just got tonight. Those things weight like a real gun, have clips that release with your thumb and are just cool as shit .. how come we didn't have this kinda stuff when we were little??

******************************

WE HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES HAVE THE HAPPIEST HOLIDAYS AND THE MOST ROCKING NEW YEAR EVER.

MAY 2005 BRING YOU ALL YOU WANT, NEED AND DESIRE.

LOVE, HUGS & KISSES

Partying With Members of Loserville

So, after work on Friday, I hit the mall again to finish up some Christmas shopping and get some new clothes/boots for myself.

I got home and my friend Steve came down for the weekend from NC so we call up Tid and hit downtown Savannah for a bit.




After shots at the Jinx, we head to SC to go to the Gold Club to see Wormbelly, a band outta Charleston. (Yeah, it's a strip club that has live bands, go figure) Turns out, the band sucks and I have way more fun watching the girls dance and even turn down some free lap dances, lol!

We come back to my apartment and continue drinking a bit until we all have to crash!!! Poor Tid even had to go in to work around 6, ugh!!!

I get out of bed and make a trip to Wal-Mart with Steve for more beer, stuff to make them dinner and yep! more Christmas stuff for my boys.

After we get back, we head over to Tid's for Steve's tour of the Bunker.

Next, we go out to the shooting range and shot the Glock 40, AR-15 and SKS. (I didn't shoot the SKS because Tid was busy trying to sight it) But all in all, it was Very Cool!!!

Then, I make dinner (BBQ chicken breast with bacon & cheese, beefy baked beans, broccoli & cheese and rice-a-roni)

After naps & showers, we all head back downtown.

First stop, the new Irish bar. A neat little bar that has awesome beer!

Then we hit the Jinx again. It wasn't the normal "music" either. It was dance club shit that we had to pay $4 to get in to ... but hey, we all moaned about it a bit but no one left, go figure!!

Being in the partying mood, I even got up to dance on stage a bit and got $1 shoved in my jeans - gotta love that one huh?? hee hee

Steve leaves with some girl so me and Tid keep hanging out at the Jinx until last call, then we go over to O'Connells until they stop serving.

As we decided to call it a night, 2 altercations started but luckily fights were avoided. Tid and I took (well Tid drove) a few friends from downtown to their house and we of course made the customary stop at Krystal's. (You gotta eat Krystal's when you're drunk, it's an unwritten law I think)

Steve made it here by cab about 6 this morning. Tid left around 9 and Steve headed for NC around 11.

Me? After waking up to tell them each goodbye and talk a bit before they left, I have stayed my ass in bed most of the day recovering from my weekend of drunken debauchery, lol!!

Well now it's almost 10pm, my liver is still screaming and I'm still partially hungover so I think it's time for me to get off here and go back to bed.

Here's a link to the rest of the pictures if you want to see:



Hope ya'll had as good a weekend as I did!

Sweet Dreams!

CJ's Christmas Concert

Luckily for me, I got off work on-timeish tonight because as soon as I walked in the door, my phone rings.

It's my oldest son CJ on his way to his Christmas Concert that he forgot to tell me about. (Was hoping I'd get a nice hot bath but, oh well, change of plans)

Dad comes to pick me up and we all go to the school. Dad, Me, and Devon (my youngest, who's 10 1/2) find seats. As we watch the kids line up, I see just why my beautiful Baby Boy decided to join Chorus in the first place. He is one of 3 boys amidst 65 girls, mostly all blondes. (hmmph, starting early, ain't he?) He sees me watching him and gives me this big grin! (uh huh, he knows what momma's thinking and is very proud of himself, lol!)

After they sing, the group moves for the others to perform and I see my innocent? little boy (he's 11 1/2) flirting with 5 different little girls, who are watching him with googly eyes. He keeps looking up at us in the bleachers with that look that is his trademark!! (not sure where he got it, but already don't like it, lol!)

Meanwhile, Devon decides to take a picture of the flirting (with the new digital cam he got from Grandma when she was here last weekend) and says "Now I have proof of him flirting with other girls." He says that he is going to show it to CJ's girlfriend (whom I find out he likes too, and for good reason? she's a little cutie)

I already know that if he does try this, there's going to be a fight but, they're at dad's so he'll be the one having to break it up this time, thank goodness, lol!! Dad turns to me and says "Gee, wonder where he got that flirty nature from?" I just shrugged and said "I dunno, where?" (yeah, I'm grinning at this point)

Next comes the other choirs and the bands perform. The concert ended with a Sing-Along of Christmas Carols (that I happily joined in).

All in all, it was a great concert and the kids did really well. Some of the groups have made it to State Competitions already and it's just Middle School!

I end up giving the PTSO (Parent Teacher School Organization) a donation and buying CJ one of the blanket/rugs that they are selling to raise money and we leave to head to Taco Bell before I get dropped off at home.

Yeah, so my plans got altered a bit but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I'm trying to post pics of the "look" that CJ is now becoming infamous for and their performance tonight, if you can't see them, try going to angelbearkiss.blogspot.com, they're visible there.

Hope ya'll had a great night too.

Sweet Dreams!!

You Know You're From Georgia When ...

You Know You're From Georgia When...

Sweet tea is THE drink. No questions. When a waitress asks what you want to drink and you say Coke, she asks "What kind?" "Ya'll" is a word. Atlanta is known as "The City." You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a Southerner. The one way to be killed in .5 seconds is to talk about somebody's mama or talk bad to somebody's mama. Krispy Kreme dounuts are the only kind of dounuts you eat. Fried chicken is a major part of your diet. When the Goverment started telling people to stock up on duck tape, you were waaaaaaaaaay ahead of them. You walk into someone's house and people are sitting around smoking what they call "the garden" On one side of the road there's Wal-Mart and on the other is a cotton field You greet people with"Howdy, Whachu doin?" You know what a 'dawg' is. You know people who consider a six pack and a bug zapper quality entertainment. The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road." Your dog and your wallet are both on chains. You still call the refrigerator the "icebox". You call it a cold Christmas if you don't break out in a sweat in your new sweater. Your whole town completely shuts down for 1 inch of snow or just the threat of snow You know at least three streets named "Peachtree" You don't know anyone who drinks Pepsi. The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger... unless your car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full clip. It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy. People actually grow, eat and like okra! You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Georgia.

"I Awoke This Morning" a poem by ABK

I awoke this morning to a bright new day,
An inner voice had shown me the way.

I awoke this morning to clear blue skies,
The fog had been lifted from my eyes.

I awoke this morning with no sign of rain,
The rays of the sunshine washed away the pain.

I awoke this morning with a new lease on life,
Putting to bed all the trouble and strife.

I awoke this morning happy & glad,
Closing the book on all that made me sad.

I awoke this morning without fear,
I don't need a man to always be here.

I awoke this morning without any care,
Knowing my friends would always be there.

I awoke this morning to find my smile,
Thank goodness it had only been gone a short while.
