Isn't she BEAUTIFUL??? I love her so much already, and she's now a week old!! Yaaaay!!! Written by melonlady1724 . Link to this entry This entry has 1 comments: ( Add your own ) Awww....how sweet! Comment from fitzzer - 6/29/05 9:04 AM

It's been a long day. And I really didn't do anything. I've been dog-sitting, since my family went to a wedding out of town yesterday. Shelby is a cutie, and I love her, but I am just not cut out to take care of a dog! I am definitely a cat person. I don't have to worry about Mittens needing to use the bathroom or when he needs to be fed. And I don't have to entertain him constantly. Shelby, on the other hand, is sooooo different. She woke me up at 5:30 this morning to go outside. Unfortunately, I don't have a fenced in yard, so I had to go with her. Oy! Then, after being out for over 10 minutes, and watching her pee 3 times, she came back in and peed on my blanket. Oy!! She peed on my comforter yesterday afternoon, too. Ugh!! My mom thinks she has a bladder infection. Ya think??? Anyway, Shelby has been pretty good this afternoon, I have to admit. I'm going to take her back down to my mom's in a little while. Besides watching the dog, and...

One of my best friends called me this morning to tell me her father passed away last night. I feel terrible for her and her family. He had not been doing well for several months, and it is a blessing that he is no longer suffering. But still, he had 9 children, and a very loving wife who will miss him very much. I pray that they will be able to be strong and support one another during this time. I also pray that I can be strong for my friend, even though I have been very sad for her all morning.

Last Sunday, I went to see Cyndi Lauper in concert at the Bear's Den at the casino. She was fantastic! The venue was so small, since it used to be the Little Theater in the Convention Center before the Center was turned into the casino. We were 3 rows from the stage, and when she came out, she came out on the side we were on. My first thought was, "she is too cute!!" She was joking around with the crowd, making comments to people and such. It was too funny! She played a lot of her old songs, a few new ones, and some cover songs. But the absolute best was when she played Girls Just Wanna Have Fun at the end!! That song is one of my 2 favoritest (I know, that's not a word) in the world!! (If I knew how to add music to my journal, I'd have that song playing!) The crowd was up and dancing, and she went up one side to dance with some of the fans! I was jealous, wish she had come over to us! lol It was a really good show, though, and I'd definitely se...

It's official folks, I'm back!! The computer has been up for a couple days, but I finally got back online today. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!! How I miss having my own computer! Sure, I was able to check my email on my mom's computer, or my sister's. But trying to write online at my audience seemed to attract an audience. Mainly, my mother. lol Seriously, she would often hover over me to "tell me something" as I typed email. Oh well, that's done and over with! I have my new computer, and hopefully I'll have it for a zillion more years to come! lol Written by melonlady1724 . Link to this entry This entry has 1 comments: ( Add your own ) 'bout time!

First of all, I am an aunt!!! My sister had her baby on Tuesday after a 14hr labor, but everything turned out okay. Hailey was born at 6:30pm, weighing 7lbs 12oz, and measuring 20 1/2" long. She is the spitting image of Mandy, and truly a little doll!! Mandy and Ron brought Hailey home yesterday, so now I can go up and visit daily for a month before they move by August. Yaaaaaaay!! And so far, I haven't heard the baby cry above me. She's either a quiet cryer, or the ceiling is a lot better insulated than I thought! My second piece of good news is that my new computer came yesterday! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!! It's all set up, and I even transferred files from the old one that I had saved on CDs. I still don't have internet access yet, until Ron can do it for me. Considering he's a little busy with the baby at the moment, I can wait another couple days if I need to. But then I shall be back up and running!! That's all for around here. Oh, I haven't been feeli...

Well folks, the inevitable has happened. My computer has died. :( I can no longer turn it on, and it's not even worth the money to fix it since it's considered "old." Five years isn't old in my opinion, but in computer years, it's probably about a million years old. So, I won't be able to write in my journal quite often until I figure out how to get a new one. I'm at my mom's right now using hers. She only lives down the street, so I could come harass her every day to use the computer. lol We'll see. Anyhow, hope all of you are enjoying yourselves, doing whatever you are doing. I have been getting my journal alerts, but it's so hard reading them all and catching up when I'm not on my computer on a daily basis! So, I'm sure I'll be reading a lot when I get back online for good! Oh, and my sister hasn't had her baby yet. Her due date was yesterday, and nothing! A lot of people say she doesn't even look like she'll ...

I usually never watch tv once all my shows end for the summer. But NBC had to start a new tv show every Thursday that I now enjoy watching! It's called Hit Me Baby One More Time . It's actually quite entertaining! The artist or band plays their song that made them well-known during the first round. The second round is their version of a song that is out today. There have been some interesting covers, let me tell ya! The first week's winner was Arrested Development. How I LOVED that group back in the 80s! This week's winner was Vanilla Ice. Kinda funny. I wanted The Knack to win, but whatever. They only take the audience vote. It's so funny to see some of the bands come back and sing their hit song. Some of the members just look so old. The guys in Flock of Seagulls kinda scared me last week. lol But, it's a fun show to watch, and good songs are played!! I'm not sure how long it's supposed to run, but it's a least one show I will wat...

I had a blast last night with my friends! We had such a good time chatting and laughing, as usual. I always enjoy my outings with my friends. They mean so much to me, as do my three sisters. It's no wonder that I have been around as long as I have, because I have such support from my family and friends. Ok, before I start bawling from sentimentality, I shall end now. Today was certainly hot. Ok, no surprise there, it's been hot all week. The humidity is what killed me today. Obviously not literally, or I wouldn't be typing this. I usually hate air conditioning, but I had to turn it on in my apartment since I was having a hard time breathing. It truly does make a difference! I'm not complaining about the weather, though. I live for this time of year, I am definitely a summer person. I would much rather take the heat than the cold any day. I know, some of you out there must think I'm crazy. That's ok, I am.

I am going out for coffee tonight with a bunch of friends. I am really looking forward to it! I haven't been to Starbucks in like 2 months, I think. I am craving a frappacino, YUM!! The funny thing about Starbucks, is that I think only one of my friends drinks coffee. So we say we're going for coffee, but we never drink it! Go figure! I still have a bunch of money on my Starbucks card, which I acquired after the very DUMB and IGNORANT remarks from an employee there a year ago. We had gone one night for coffee, and I drove. Since it was so busy, there weren't many parking spots, so I opted for the handicap spot. Which is fine and dandy, since I have handicap license plates. So we all go in to Starbucks, and say hi to a couple friends who were already their waiting for us. In the commotion, I wasn't paying much attention to things being said, until I suddenly realized that all my friends were staring at me with big wide eyes. Erin said to me, "Did you hea...

I feel like I haven't been writing all that much lately. I guess because all that much isn't going on. Here's what I've been doing: Making jewelry. Browsing Ebay and buying beads for said jewelry-making. Some laundry. Some reading. Grocery shopping. Waiting for a baby to finally decide to make it's debut. So that's about it, folks. My life is pretty dull at the moment. Busy, but dull. My cat's yawning, even he's bored! Written by melonlady1724 .

It's an absolutely gorgeous day today! It's warm (although for some people, they probably feel like they are melting), and there is a very nice breeze blowing around out there. I have every window in my apartment open, and it's just yummy nice in here! Of course, my sister will want the a/c on pretty soon, so I'll turn it on, but keep my vents closed. I am not one who loves a/c! And people think I'm nuts. That's ok, I am! So what's the best thing to do on a sunny, breezy day like this? Laundry! I am washing some sheets and my blanket. The blanket is out on the line now, with about 15 clothespins to hold it down. I sure hope it doesn't fly anywhere! I like hanging laundry outside, except for 2 things: 1) I live on a corner with no fence around the yard, so I'm afraid someone stupid would try to steal something; 2) I'm always worried on windy days like this that my laundry is going to fly around the neighborhood! Here I go, back outside...

There have been many happenings....well..happening lately. At least it seems like it. Or maybe it's just because I haven't written in my journal in the past several days. Well anyhow, I went to a Hawaiian BBQ on Monday for Memorial Day. It was at my BIL's parents' house. It was quite nice, actually. While we were there, I talked to one of the women who will soon be officially part of the family (her son is marrying Mandy's SIL in a couple weeks, ewww). Anyhow, she owns a shop down in Lewiston. She sells fancy stuff, dresses and jewelry, and she is also a seamstress. Did I mention that she sells JEWELRY?? So, I went over to chat to her about her shop. As soon as I mentioned that I have been making jewelry, she cut me off and said "Oh, bring it in, I'll look at it!" Well, smart little me had already brought my stuff, so I went and got it from the car. She took 2 of my sets that she thought would go well with a purse and scarf she had, and asked h...
