The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Last night was over at Charity's. Her mother had stopped by for a visit and Charity called to ask me to come over so she could introduce me. So we sat around her kitchen table taking about this last weeks problems and solutions. It was nice sitting there and talking girl talk. we talked about the men (or the lack thereof) we knew and of divorce, break ups and life in general.



you know, the kind of gossip all girls, regardless of what age we are talk about lol.





Mom and Aunt Geneva hit the boat again and I had called this morning to see if she was coming to pick me up to take me to Nancy's.

Got no answer which told me she wasnt coming home any time soon. I catch her later.





Gotta run....

I had just gotten off the phone with Ozzy and decided to go to pogo to play a few games to relax. when I noticed a name pop up on my yahoo buddy list to show me she was on. I be damned, was my sister Ginger, She never goes online on yahoo. So I shot her an IM and we ended up discussing all our favorite books. We pretty much have the same tastes when it comes to that and I thanked her for the Harry Potter books she sent. She said she had sent the last two with mom and I should be getting them here soon. We talked about other things other than books. And I have to say it was the best conversation she and I have had in a long time. We do however like to be literary critics, lol..





Charity came over last night and said Ian was in jail again. He had picked his mother up from work and had just dropped her off when he got pulled over for a headlight being out. Well, to make matters worse. third time hes been cited for not having a license. So this time they took him to jail and he could be in there for the next ninety days. So pretty much tells you Charity was in major overdrive. She had been up all night. not only did she tell me, but I saw her lights on all night. Cant help but notice since our houses are like right on top of each other. I do love her house, its a lot bigger than mine, I think I love her front porch. I have just a step lol.



I had given the cats some cat nip and not thinking, walked through it. Her cat Max, kept attacking my feet. was too cute. Her Jack Russell terrier, Papaw could care less if i was there. He looked so bored but never left Charity's side. He is definitly a mommy's boy. She spoils them all rotten. Shes worse than me I think lol



Started reading Confessor, It's really going to be good!

Charity paid me with a visit with her eight month old nephew Isaiah. He's so cute. I enjoyed playing with him and spoiling him. Charity watched me play with him and remarked she could see that I was a good mother. I took the compliment and told her there were times I wish my two were little again. In a lot of ways I do miss being a mommy. Best time of my life.

Woke up around four am and decided to do some early house work so I can start reading Confessor by Terry Goodkind. I always get a good satisfaction of reading a good series. I have my favorite books I tend to re read. I have made a list of other books I want to add to my collection.





The day dawned a little gray and cold. looking out my window I see the neighborhood begin to wake up to start another winter day. Nancy could'nt sleep either and sent me a yahoo message and decided to call instead of type. She let me know of the gossip going on at the old place. discussed doctor appointments and she decided to give me a beautiful old sewing machine in the cabinet. Now just have to figure out how to get it here and where I'm going to put it.



Todd called from the road in Savannah Georgia. His truck broke down so hes out of commission for the next week or so. Todd brought up again that he wants a relationship. I have told him in the past that I like the friendship and don't want to change it. He reluctantly dropped it and then said he was going to Texas in a few months and asked if Id like to go. I refused him politely and I said lets keep it where it is. He's a really good guy and I wish he could find himself a good girl. I am just not it.



Jennifer has finished her training and is now a probation officer with the city of Hamilton's police force. I am very proud of her and I know she will do well.



Planning to order my twin her birthday present. I hope she likes the taps t shirt i'm going to get her. I was going to get her the jacket but its too expensive. So today I am just going to take it easy after the house cleaning and just see where the day goes.

I've always have said that it doesnt take much to amuse me. I'm totally immersed when I read. I could spend all day in a library or at a book store and think I've died and went to heaven. My sister, Ginger the rug rat of the family decided to give me the Harry Potter books she would not loan out to me after she got them. She told mom to give them to me to add to my collection. What it means is Ginger must be running out of room to give them to me. lol...I don't think she will give up her Stephen King library.



I also received in the mail today the third and last book in the sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind. This one I have been waiting on. Confessor looks to be really good. So I have a choice. Read JK Rowling or Terry Goodkind? Well, since I am a night owl by habit I could read both of them but they look like it may take me several days to read them both.



I had a doctor's appointment a little bit ago and just got back in the door not even a half hour. He wants me to try a new medication to see if it will help me sleep. I have just given up on getting eight hours sleep. But I have noticed that here lately ive been getting worn out by three and have to take a rest. I think it may take some time for me to get on a regular sleeping schedule but been this way for so long. maybe my body is just used to this. I will give it a try and if it doesnt work no biggie....

Last night I was lying in bed, covered up and sniffling through Dog the Bounty Hunter, when I heard voices outside my front door. I got up and looked out and down to see if I could see who it was at my door. There was a police car and an ambulance parked out in front of my house and of the two neighbors on either side of me. I came down to open the door to see two policeman . I opened the door to see what they wanted. He asked if I was the one who called. I replied "No Sir" as Charity's back door came open.



The door closed as I closed my own and went to go back up the stairs when someone else knocked on door. It was Cindy next door. I smiled as I let her in. I should have known she couldnt keep herself in her house. She's a good soul, a little on the wacky side, but she has a good heart and means well.



We both talked to get caught up as its been a few weeks since I had talked to her. Her daughter Cheyanne was with her. We waited until we seen them bringing someone out on a stretcher. I raised my eyebrows when I saw it was Ian, Charity's husband of six months being put into the back of it.



I didnt have to guess why he was being taken to the hospital but waited till they had left. Cindy and I went and talked to Charity. I have known for a while, through both of them that Ian has a problem with drugs. He overdosed. Charity had found him on the floor turning blue. She is a trained nurses aid and did cpr while waiting on the ambulance. She got hm breathing again on his own. She was a mental wreck but I have to give the girl credit, while I tease her about being so animated when she talks. shes priceless to listen to. she remained calm as they had taught her. But I knew as I was once an aid myself, that once the andrenaline stops flowing, you tend to crash. And thats where she was heading. So we let her get it out and cry and throw a little hissy.



She was talking about divorce as her and cindy went to the hospital. I think if I was Ian. I would have stayed in the hospital. Charity is a force to be reckoned with, and I would hate to get on her bad side. She called as I had asked her to to tell me of his condition. She said he was doing better and wanted to come home. She said she was going to keep him there overnight. She called around two this morning looking for Cindy. as she needed a way home from the hospital





She didnt come over and I could understand that

her and Ian have only been married for a short time and its pretty safe to say this could either make or break it. Ian had came over a few days ago and wanted to talk. He said that charity was the love of his life and he told me that all he ever wanted to do was to make her happy. But that all she ever did was get mad. Im not much on marriage thats for sure, My track record really doesnt qualify me as a marriage counselor. But only advice I could give him was to tell her how he feels and they both need to talk.



Its when they both dont talk to each other, thats where the problem starts. Only time will tell with these two. And I wish them all the luck in the world. they are going to need it. I didnt know what else I could say. Just for him to tell her whats in his heart.

Its already wednesday and my week doesnt look to promising. I woke up at four this morning and decided I was hungry. I have not ate anything solid for a few weeks and Im starved. So I made some pancakes while its considered soft, I fixed two but could only eat half of one. And decided to save it for later. I've been sick off and on since sunday. I dont think its the flu just a very, very bad cold.



The weather is supposed to get warmer today, the weatherman is calling an end to the streak of cold weather, today will get up to the fourties. I had to kind of smile when I looked out to my roses. The yellow one Amanda and Jennifer had given me for mother's day had made a strong comeback in November, I was excited to see two small blooms then. The blooms had long since flowered. but the green leaves still remained. Showing a stubborness to the snow we had gotten two weeks ago. The pink one had made a small comeback, not as strong as the yellow. My beautiful red roses Im hoping will bloom this spring. Charity and I are planning big things for the front lawn. the ivy we have decided to just get rid of. and plant some more roses and either get rid of the bushes and keep just the trees. Its going to be a big undertaking, but will be well worth it.



Cindy, the girl next door loves the ivy we will keep a little bit of it for her.



My ankle is some better and I thought better of not going to the er. I dont think now its broken, but i managed to twist it really well. I also ordered a new book from Amazon. Its the last book of the sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind. Entitled Confessor, I have not gotten to watch the show that is based on the books, same goes for true blood and dr. who. But its on my list... I have been watching alot of the show, Bones, based on the books of Kathy Reichs who I am a huge fan of. I finally had gotten the last four of the temperance brennan books and have read them.



Only books Im having difficulty finding in hard cover is the vampire hunter series by laurell k hamilton. I have read the first nine books of the series and decided to collect them. i have books one and two but seems circus of the damned is out of print in the hardcover. but can find plenty of them in paper back. Id rather have hard cover.





I think Im going to go back to bed for a bit. Its almost eight here now. take some nyquil and see how i feel later

The phone rang about ten minutes ago. It was Nancy asking for my landlord's number. I had been trying for sometime to get her to move. She hasnt been happy being there, she gets section eight to pay for her apartment as she is on disability from her job.



Hamilton West Apartments is where I moved from back in august. Having been there for almost five years, I didnt like the apartment managers or their inexperience maintainance man Jim. He does things half assed. He tells people he runs that place, hes in charge. not.. They have lost a few good renters because of him and I know several residents there who have told steve and debby, that they didnt want jim around.



In order for section eight to approve the apartment they have to come out and inspect it. This time around they failed the apartment and told them that if things werent corrected in a month they would not be giving them the money.



So Nancy, being at the end of her rope decided enough was enough. Steve was there and she made good on her promise, that if things didnt improve she would be moving. I had hope she could find a place near me so i can check in on her from time to time as I did at the old place.



I told her she would love my landlords, they dont ever raise the rent, their properties are in good shape and she would be able to have a pet if she wants to and they dont charge a damage deposit. They pretty much leave you alone. All they ask is that you take care of the property.



I think Nancy would benefit greatly from this as it is a stress free enviroment. Unlike there, theres drama 24/7.

I once was told I was as graceful as a swan, yeah a swan on one leg. Thats exactly what I was thinking while laying on the floor looking up at the ceiling. I forgot I had an adapter plugged into an extension cord and my foot tripped and I think I cant swear to it until I see an x ray, I think I broke my ankle. Ok Ok im not the most graceful person in the world. I can admit that. ( try to keep all laughing down lol)



I hobbled downstairs to fix a cup of hot chocolate, missed the damn last step and yes you guessed it, landed on my ass once again. So I think once I make it back upstairs, Im not moving an inch lol..





I can see some humor in this. stop and think about it. Ive had all my teeth pulled, Ive managed to trip, and fall down the stairs. So far Ive not managed to walk into a wall this week.. so Im doing extremely well, considering. Im really not that clumsy.. I have my days lol....

Had several phone calls today from friends and family just checking up on me. I had laid down around one or so to take a small nap. When I woke up it was seven in the evening. I woke up feeling like crap. My nose is stopped up, I cant breath. And then on top of that my gums are still hurting from being pulled. the one area being the place where the back tooth was. I managed to find a dentist mirror i had gotten a long time ago and looked. Yep,. its a huge piece of bone, not wanting to come out. its more happy being there and causing me trouble. I cant dislodge it. trust me Ive tried,





I had called the dentist this morning to find no appointments open. told me to check again tomorrow. With the snow that is on the ground. oh yes, lots of cancelations. but for the same reason I have no way to get there. and as a joke I asked if he made house calls. the receptionist laughed. and laughed just a little bit more when I told her I wasnt kidding.





Todd called to see if I needed anything. Not much he could do while in Kentucky, I told him I was fine and again thanked him for the pain pills. I could walk down to walgreens and get the ones the dentist called in. but its too cold. and I am allergic to cold lol. Im going to make some hot chochlate and sit in my bed and watch it snow for a while.....

Today has been the worse day of my life. Whose bright idea was it to have my teeth pulled? what in the hell was I thinking?



Woke up this morning to severe pain where the last remaining jaw tooth was pulled. I found a small shard of bone that will not budge. No biggie, call the dentist and have him take care of it. Till I was told he was booked solid this week... So faced with the idea of more pain, he called another script of vicodin in since I had taken the last one this morning. Cant get that until tomorrow. So I laid in bed, with my kittys around me, watched endless tv on "Bones" and overdosed on CSI and NCIS.. I hadnt been on vr today and sent oz and some other im's out explaining my abscense.





My mother called and we had talked for a few. Todd, a very good friend stopped by as he was in town to visit me on his way back to ky. ( kentucky) he had several pain killers he gave me for my pain. ( He is so nice). And they did help.





I dont go back til the dentist until the 20th or so. for him to make the dental impressions. I may not get my teeth for another six weeks but Im sure it will be worth it.

The things one learns by accident:



1. Your saving money on toothpaste and a toothbrush





2. When the dentist says this wont hurt a bit....





3. Listerine burns





4. You finally learn what the meaning of "never bite off more than you can chew"





5. NEVER put salt on your food.





6. try to say a tongue twister, its hilarious...Just dont do it in public. Or try to say the alphabet.





7. Take very small bites..





8. you will never make it as a vampire, you will starve.



9. contrary to others you cannot gum an apple





10. that albuterol, vicodin, xanax and elavel do not mix...



11. Smile with your lips closed. ( you can scare small children)



12..Try to laugh with your mouth closed ( trust me, it doesnt work lol)



13. That drinking isnt advised while you look like a chipmunk on steroids.



14. You look better as a chipmunk on steroids



15. Have a sense of humor.. Pain doesnt last forever...

POST COMMENT

Trip to the dentist was memorable to say the least. Considering the last time I was in Dr. Kirkpatrick's office I accidently bit him. Didnt mean to, He had to use force to remove a stubborn tooth and I had bit down. He laughed and said it wasnt the first time someone had bitten him. I didnt draw blood, which Im sure if I had, I wouldnt be allowed back lol..



I had gotten up at seven in the morning on thursday. Appointment was at eight. Only place I really feel pain is where the injections of novacaine were placed. I did not sleep thursday night, I stayed up all night thursday, stayed up all day friday, I tried to take a nap and just couldnt do it. Spent friday taking down the tree and putting everything back to normal. Thing that surprised me is I was given vicoden. Usually vicoden gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling, You know, you get all comfy and relaxed and things get fuzzy and then you go to sleep.



Well, that was the plan. Didnt quite end up that way. I did call walgreen's and talked to the pharmacist. If I didnt know any better, I would say I was given speed. I couldnt slow down. But my house looks beautiful lol.



I did not know



A. Albuterol mixed with pain killers and elavel gives the opposite effect.



B. and scrubbing bubbles work on everything.



C. I have a way of breaking stuff.





So I finally gave in, I took one pain pill and passed out, Didnt wake up til four this morning. I feel ok but still kinda tired. Im not sure what time it was when I laid down. All I know is I wanted my pillow and my dragon blanket.

The goal this weekend....To give the felines a bath.. Mickey will not be thrilled...lol
