Hello dear friends.

My life has changed drastically in just over a week. We've found out that we're expecting a baby later this year, and I've had to make some rather sudden decisions in this short time. No worries, I plan to keep SG close to my heart--especially when I need to remember what my body used to look like

Obviously, I had to give up dancing, but I've been wanting to for a long time. It's been so easy to give up smoking and drinking, but I can't tell you how much better it is to be out of that environment all together. Just trying to avoid it all was making me quite desperate to make a run for it. After nearly a decade of hoofing it, I thought I would go out with a bang, but it was more like a whimper. I quietly walked out of the dressing room with nary a word for anyone and less than $200 to show for it. Oh, well. That's probably a sign they only want the drunk version of me anyways.

On a good note, I've found a nice, cushy desk job part time. Hopefully, after my training I'll be able to find another waitress job elsewhere. Mommy's gotta eat

I've started a blog on tumbler for little Eggbert (temporary name, of course). It's just a few words here and there as they come to me, but I hope you all can find some humor in them. I promise not to be too grousy. Well, maybe a little.

Anyways, I hope my words find all of you well. Wish me luck.

For Eggbert

It's been a while, folks. I hope you all made it through the holidays ok. I haven't much to say except that I wish that just once the person in my mind could be the person I'm with. I guess we all have our fantasies, right?

Dear friends,

Gonna be away from SG for a few weeks because I really need to concentrate on school. I'll see you all again after the first week of December.

Much love, hugs, and kisses.

I said goodbye to the first car I ever really loved today. The insurance company is making sure that I can get another one, but it just isn't the same. There's just no forgetting your first love.



This one's for you, my sweet baby blue.

My dear friend Grendel1018 sent me this video when I was having a particularly bad day. I cheered up right away, and it's been my go-to video for a quick laugh ever since.

Enjoy.

Hiya!

Get ready for a massive photo blog. I'd been meaning to do one, but I only just got the time--actually, I'm avoiding cleaning the kitchen. So, here goes:


I got some new hair setters, and this is what happened. Kinda cool, really.


I went to New Orleans and got to sit at the park a while.


Met up with my dear friend Larry Bone at Tattoo A Gogo to touch up my finger and add a little something more.


My darling baby boy. My life wouldn't be the same without him. He's teaching me patience.


So happy together.


Random funny thing.


Me as a blond. So strange.


My angel. My namesake. He reminded me that I can love unconditionally.


After a particularly bad visit to the doctor. I had to go to work, but I just couldn't stop crying.


A reminder of why my life isn't so bad.


I clean up kinda nice.


He started collecting these old license plates. I hate the LSU one, but I've learned to not look at it.


The beer I cheat with. I still don't know what the carb count is.


Random sign from my school commute. Too funny.


My dad. He's so great. If he knew you all, he would love you, too.


The one teaching the other.


So tired after 4 exams in one week.


Starting to cook in front of tons of people. Not so nerve-wracking as I thought it would be.

I hope I didn't bore any of you too much. I'm off to try to convince my mom to buy me the med alert bracelet on my wishlist. Is it too early for Christmas?

Hugs,
C

Just found a moment to blog. I took my first organic chemistry exam this morning, and I'm pretty certain I did well. None of the questions looked completely foreign to me, so that's a good sign. I've got two more exams tomorrow and another next week, but I'm not gonna sweat it. I've done all of my studying every day, so I don't have to cram. I guess it pays off to be a good little girl.

I hope all is well with you, dears.
Drop me a line if you've got the time.

Hugs and Kisses

Finally getting everything in order and taking things one day at a time. I'm kinda sleep deprived, but luckily there's coffee. I'm going to spend some time today for myself and relax. Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. I'm sending kisses your way.

I don't have very much to say except for the fact that I'm super stressed out. Today is the first day of the fall semester, and I don't have enough money for books. All I can do is try to swallow the anxiety attack that's been building in my throat and finish off this bottle of Rioja.

Ok, so I know I said I wouldn't be in New Orleans this week, but it turns out I'll be there Friday. I'll be seeing my most favorite tattoo artist and hopefully making enough money to pay for textbooks. I'll be in Baton Rouge a couple of days this week and Saturday. I hope to see you at either place very soon. Much love, hugs, and kisses.
