on my heart...

just some things i would like to say to some select people. maybe you're one of them?

1. i don't care if the baby wipes are "far away"... wipe your child when you're changing their diaper.
2. your wife looks like your granddaughter. oh yeah, f you.
3. she's been a bitch since you met her. it's about time.
4. don't say mean things when you are mad. you will end up losing friends.
5. i'm your only friend to go to? try reaching out to your bowling pals.
6. you talk so much gossip about other people but, heaven forbid they mention your name!
7. just tell the truth. i'm not going to slit my wrists over crap you have to say.
8. be a man. don't break hearts.
9. karma just kicked you in your ass.
10. you're on food stamps but you have a Coach purse and an Iphone? really....
11. got something to say, say it to my face. i won't punch you, i'll talk to you like a woman.
12. gosh, i wish you knew how good i would treat you if you were mine.
13. yeah, you DO need to give your child more positive re-enforcements.
14. look at what's in front of you...
15. how in God's name are you Atheist???? how do you live each day???
16. bless your little heart, sweetie.
17. you look like a fool.
18. you're stronger than you think. you got this.

xoxo. :)

thinking....

     I've heard different opinions on visiting gravesites and keeping flowers in their vases, etc. Because I am a firm believer in Christ and His Word, I do believe my loved ones are in Heaven. Yes, their bodies are buried but their souls are in Heaven. So, why do I keep my loved ones' graves pretty? I can't answer that because, it honestly doesn't make sense. That person isn't there. Several months before my "Meme" passed away, we were putting flowers on Her Mother's grave. She made me promise that I would keep her gravestone pretty when she passed. Of course I promised her I would. My Sister can barely go to the Cemetery. But for me, it's comforting. It's something I honestly cannot explain. I was once told by someone that they didn't understand why I was so into taking pictures of new flowers put in the vases and etc. I couldn't give her a good reason. She said it shouldn't matter because that person is in Heaven. Part of me wants to make sense of why I do what I do. Opinions?

Dusty Sanderson

DUSTY SANDERSON

     My Cousin, Dusty, is the lead singer of the local band, "Southern Drifters". He writes most of his songs, although he does some covers of famous Artists. He has dreams of making it far in the music industry. Singing and playing guitar are his life. When I go out to hear him sing, his songs make me THINK, and they inspire me. Here soon, he plans to pack up and head to Nashville, TN to make a name for himself. I am very proud of Dusty and the hard work he puts in to entertain fans, family, and friends. God blessed Dusty with a great singing voice and a talent for songwriting. I pray and hope his dreams will be full-filled. If you wanna hear him and the band, Southern Drifters, come to Chan's Nightclub this Saturday Night 3/31/12 at 9pm. It's a damn good time and I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Damn Right .

Damn Right
(James Otto / Monty Powell)  *I changed up the lyrics a bit (i.e. He/She)*

You can always find me here
Raisin’ hell and drinkin’ beer
With all my good-time buddies
Cuttin’ up and havin’ fun
Yeah the jokes can be on me
And I don’t mind usually
I’m an easy-goin’, back-slappin’ son of a gun,
But he just left me
And that’s just left me undone
So you don’t want to push your luck girls, not tonight
Just don’t bring up his name one more time

If you think I’m in the mood to pick a fight
You’re damn right

He’s gone and I admit I was wrong
But I can’t quit
Thinkin’ about how good our love used to be
And the whiskey numbs the pain
But in the morning when I wake
I’ll be hungover hangin’ on to a memory
And I’ll order one more round
Lose the Coke and keep the Crown
And just drown my misery
And I’ll blind myself with liquor and neon lights
Alone and stoned out of my mind

If you think I’m flyin’ high as a kite
You’re damn right

Now I’m just tryin’ to make it through
But gettin’ over you is a long, long road
And I’m a strong woman, but it’s killin’ me
Lettin’ go
And I’d love to say it ain’t, but I can’t lie
Yeah pretend that I got somethin’ in my eyes

If you think I’m gonna break down and cry
You’re damn right

You’re damn right

Ventilation .

     I need to vent for a moment. (or several moments)... So, I took my niece to a park today. It is near Summitt Blvd and in a nice neighborhood as well. I sat down on the bench as she ran off to play on the playground. Well, I look closely at the pirate ship playground and there is a guy and a girl sitting there in front of the swirley (sp?) slide. At first I thought it was just a guy. I figured he just needed some time to think or something. Well then I noticed a female with him. Both of them had to of been 15 years old. The guy then lays down in the girl's lap. Keep in mind, my niece is seeing this. I was LIVID. I do not want my niece to see that type of behavior and think it is okay at her age. A PARK for kids is not a place to lay in your girlfriend's lap or have any PDA! Have you lost your ever loving mind? I wanted to say something so bad but I try to watch my behavior around my niece. Maddy and I love this park and I ended up saying "Let's GO!!!" Does anyone else think this is wrong? Find somewhere else to be affectionate!!!! Not in front of my 5 year old niece!!!!!!

I feel much better.
