Nathan Deal, you can hang it in your ass! -no rights for women if Deal's GA Gov.-

So, this may not be interesting to those of you who don't live in Georgia, or even some of you who do, but if you wasn't already aware, Nathan Deal is running for Georgia Governor. I, as well as most women, would love nothing more than to stop him! Here's why I would love to tell Nathan Deal to hang it in his ass:

-Deal Voted NO on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Jan 2007)


- Deal Voted NO on allowing human embryonic stem cell research. (May 2005)

-Deal Voted YES on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005)

- Deal Voted YES on making it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime. (Feb 2004)

-Deal Voted YES on banning partial-birth abortion except to save mother’s life. (Oct 2003)  Shit!
-Deal Voted YES on funding for health providers who don't provide abortion info. (Sep 2002)

-Deal Voted YES on banning Family Planning funding in US aid abroad. (May 2001)  More shit!

-Deal Voted YES on federal crime to harm fetus while committing other crimes. (Apr 2001) Is it just me or does this asshole have a serious problem with women and their rights?!

-Deal Voted YES on banning partial-birth abortions. (Apr 2000)

- DealVoted YES on barring transporting minors to get an abortion. (Jun 1999)

-Deal Rated 0% by NARAL, indicating a pro-life voting record. (Dec 2003)

-Deal Rated 100% by the NRLC, indicating a pro-life stance. (Dec 2006)

- Deal wants to Prohibit transporting minors across state lines for abortion. (Jan 2008)

- Deal wants to Grant the pre-born equal protection under 14th Amendment. (Jan 2007)
 
This is ridiculous and there's many more twisted things which persuades me that he IS TOTALLY WRONG FOR THE JOB! ....
 
Here are more things he's voted on. Most of these things would NOT benefit any person but himself:
 
-Deal Voted NO on additional $825 billion for economic recovery package. (Jan 2009)


-Deal  Voted NO on monitoring TARP funds to ensure more mortgage relief. (Jan 2009)

-Deal Voted NO on $15B bailout for GM and Chrysler. (Dec 2008)

-Deal Voted NO on $60B stimulus package for jobs, infrastructure, & energy. (Sep 2008)

-Deal Voted NO on defining "energy emergency" on federal gas prices. (Jun 2008)

-Deal Voted NO on regulating the subprime mortgage industry. (Nov 2007)



-Deal Voted YES on restricting bankruptcy rules. (Jan 2004)

-Deal Allow $3 on 1040 form to pay off National Debt. (Sep 2000)

*Do you think Deal sounds like he would fit the job of Georgia's Gov?*

Taste buds change their minds...

Ok, I usually try to ask you lovely people what your opinions are. I always have questions and love to hear what y'all think too. So, here's my question of the day:

Is it just me or do your taste buds change too?
I've always wondered this. As I went through those teen years, my taste buds changed majorly! I mean a lot of foods that I absolutely hated, I started liking. And foods that I loved, I started hating. I don't know why.

The reason I decided to ask is because I thought it was just a phase until this year. I've always hated pumpkin pie until the other day. Now I really like it. I wish my taste buds would quit changing their minds!

I know your taste buds change when you're pregnant of course, but mine have always been weird-o's. Speaking of pregnancy, I was only able to go through that twice and never full term. Now, I'm totally unable to get pregnant period.

But when I was pregnant the second time, I suddenly loved asian chicken from wendy's. I have always hated, I mean I couldn't even walk into an asian food place without my stomach turning. I'm more of a mexican food person. Anyways, I suddenly loved asian chicken. I mean I had to have it. Then I suddenly loved pineapple chicken.

I always heard that once you're no longer pregnant & no longer have those crazy pregnancy hormones and such, the cravings completely subside and you go back to having your regular old taste buds. Not for me! Still to this day, I love asian & pineapple chicken and it's been 2 years since my last pregnancy!

Weird huh? So am I the only one with abnormal taste buds?

*Weird cooter product #4 will be here soon! Sorry to say, not today though. I think it's killing me to wait more than it is you! lol*

Me Time - on the verge of a nervous breakdown!

Hello my little beauties,
no, this is not "Weird cooter product post #4." I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to wait until next week for that one. Or maybe I'll give in and post it this weekend. Instead, today I'm posting something less interesting.

Lately, it's been extremely tough & chaotic with kids running around, following me everywhere including the bathroom, parties, school, theives, etc. lol So it's been tremendously impossible to find some peace and quiet. I usually get my quiet time at night when everybody's in bed, or when the kids spend the night at their dad's house.

So I've been desperate. I used to go to the tanning bed regularly. It was my way to get some quiet time away from kids and reality really, and of course to get a nice tan! lol But, the reason I actually went so often was to get time to myself where everything was totally quiet, no interruptions, just me, my tanning lotion, and the UV lights. It was the way I de-stressed, relaxed, and think.

 It got to where going to the tanning bed was the only private time I had. I actually would bring a notepad & pen in my purse and write while I laid in the tanning bed! I know that's crazy. I would even use my 20 minutes to pray a lot of times.

Well, that all ended when the tanning salon shut down on me several months ago. There is only 2 other places in my area to tan. One is a nail salon, they're really creepy there and they do weird things like wait outside the door while you tan, so I am too uncomfortable to tan there. Then there's this place I just started going to. It's a private business and it's weird too. Lol. I mean this one lady owns it & it's damn near impossible to get in. Nobody, I mean NOBODY tans around here, especially not at this specific place. She only takes appointments. I've had to wait an entire month just to get an appointment because she doesn't stay at the salon, she only goes if enough customers will show up.

Well, I actually talked her into going down there to let me lay just 20 min. every Monday. She still cancels on me a lot but I'm desperate.

The bad thing is, I always ask for a towel and the cleaner to clean the bed myself & to clean it after I lay. She says no, that she'll do it. I've insisted, she still says no. So, when I get out I walked outside to leave and she did too. She walked right outside to the car at the exact same time as me. You know what that means? It means that she didn't clean the bed after I laid. She does this every time! It's gross, and really unhealthy. I haven't said anything, I just bring my own cleaner & towel. But she doesn't know that I clean it with my own. I ain't taking no chances on contracting someone's crabbies! lol

So as far as she knows, she's letting her customers which is me and like 1 other person, lay in dirty beds! Why? How hard is it to wipe a bed? It takes 2 min.

Anyways, back to the subject. I'm just drained, exhausted & tired of not ever getting a min. to myself. The kids refuse to even let me go to the bathroom alone. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown! I need a little peace... fast!

 So, please, oh please tell me, how do you find peaceful quiet alone time to relax? Where, when, how?!

Weird cooter product #4

THE DIVA CUP:

This is a little silicone cup that you use similar to the way you would a tampon. Let me think of a not-so-detailed way to explain...

It's used for your menstrual cycle. You just empty it when it's...full. Sorry, I tried to explain as little nastily as possible. Anyways, I've not used it personally but I've talked to several women who have. The responses : Messy, painful. One said she hated it because it would always "spill" while trying to remove it.

It seems like it could be a possible solution to some women but I don't quite think it does the trick like other products. But, it's good for the environment

I don't guess this one's so weird or disturbing. I don't have an argument against it, so far.

I didn't feel the need to ask a man's opinion on the diva cup. lol So, we'll leave the boyfriend out of this little convo. No need to explain a diva cup to a man. :)

Weird cooter product #3 VA J-J VISOR

While on my "cooter journey," I happened to come across the "Va J-J VISOR" it's this little protector thingy that's supposed to protect your inner parts from things like depillatories, epilators, or you can use it if you get electrolysis, or for people like me who tan a lot. It protects that little sliver of your Va jay jay. Only the inside labia though.

So, it's cute, comes in pretty colors, but I don't much see the point in protecting
that tiny sliver of your body from UV rays while the rest of your body is unprotected while you tan. Now for use while depillatory-ing, I could see it being a bit useful.


Also it's supposed to come in handy for when you shave that area. It looks uncomfortable though & it seems that you have to "hold" it in there with your muscles. Who the hell could do that while shaving?

Weird cooter product #2 Dye.

AND FOR THE NEXT WEIRD COOTER PRODUCT:


VAGINA DYE - (Since when did normal vaginas become such a horrible thing?)

There's pubic hair dye of all colors but I guess there's no sense in painting your vagina blue if your pubic hair isn't already green.

Is it not bad enough that we paint our nails, put on make up, and dye our hair?
Then we look in a women's magazine that tells us we've done it wrong, the new nail polish of the season is NOT red, it's green! Oh no! Now it's back to the manicurist again.

 That's not bad enough but now we need to dye our cooters too! All I gotta say is, ladies, we better be saving & finding time for all this. If not, who's to say our men will even want us anymore? Well, I just checked and my cooter is apparently not up to society's standards. Oh no! Whatever will I do? From the research I've done, it's obviously a bad thing if you don't do this. And you would be "risking your sex life with your man."

Guess what ladies? We have a man's opinion this time! It's my wonderful boyfriend's. I've already sworn him in. He swears to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help him God.

I gave him the scoop on these products & asked him what he thought.

Here's what he had to say:

"Dye your cooter?! What?! Why?"

Yep, you heard me.


"No! That's the most ridiculous crap I've heard. You don't need to color, it and do all those crazy things. That would just take away the whole fun of it. What man would want their wives to really do that? I don't. It's stupid and I like to have you how you are. No other way. Ok?"

That's what the boyfriend had to say.

Then he says "Uhh, you aren't going to DO that to yourself are you?"

Hahaha! He was getting worried there for a minute. He thought I

had planned to do it! I had to clear that up for him.

"No honey, I will not dye my crotch."
 
*Men, You didn't think us ladies would exclude you guys now did ya? I'm sure all of us would love to hear your opinions on these products. Would you want your partner to use any of these?*

I know this is strange & maybe a little nasty, but I've done a lot of reading on this specific topic for a year now & I just couldn't resist.

 I began this "cooter journey" a year ago after reading in a women's magazine  about Dr's convincing women that they need vaginal rejuvenation surgery. So, I've been learning about the "problems" of every person with a vagina. I was a little shocked to find this in a women's magazine. I mean, I thought women's mags were for women not for showing women how to please a man. Why not just call it a men's mag? 

 Apparently, if you're vagina is flesh colored, you need to dye it! Yes, dye it, the entire thing! One product says something along the lines of "Are you tired of that common female problem of having a flesh colored vagina?"

I was raging after reading that. "Problem" Since when did having a natural, vagina become a "problem?" What a wonderful way to make even more women feel like what they have isn't good enough. The Vaginal coloring product claims that it will make your man want to touch you there! What?! You mean my man doesn't want to touch me there only because my vagina isn't blue?!

Here's my first discovery of weird vagina things:


 There's a thing called a cervix sheild or "cap." It's this tiny little cap that's made to prevent pregnancy. You have to insert the "cap" yourself and it "suctions" to your cervix to cover it. The product states that you MUST cover the cap and yourself in spermicide before using. That sounds like trouble.

But that's not all. You also have to leave it in for up to 48 hrs. after intercourse. Then there's the con's.

1. You have to keep checking to make sure it's still in place.

2. If you happen to start your cycle while wearing, it can cause serious infections or you can risk taking the cap off your cervix & getting pregnant.

3. No woman has the same size cervix. Women who have given birth have bigger cervix. But you pretty much choose from Small, medium or large.

4. It "suctions" to your cervix. That can't be healthy. You're also at risk for your cervix falling off because of the suction. But seriously, it does cause serious damage to the cervix.

5. It also states that there is a huge risk of this product causing cervicitis!

Unfortunately, I can't remember the rest of the "cautions" of this product, but shortly after reading on it, I was quick to say it's not for me. I would rather take the risks that come with birth control than to risk all of those things. I mean who wants to go through all that trouble?

*I have many more weird cooter products that I've found and written about while on my "cooter journey" I will post the other products & my opinions about them each week. Believe me, the cervix stopper (as I call it) is nothing compared to these other cooter products I've found. I  was shocked! Come back to see the rest soon!

By the way, I'll be asking the boyfriend for his opinions on the next few products. (Just so we get a man's opinions in here too since most of the products claim that if we want our man to stay. we should do abc. This ought to be fun!*

It burns, it burns, it burns, burns, burns!

 After laying in the tanning bed tonight, I got burned! I never, ever burn! Those must've been some awesome bulbs because my booty is on fire, fire, fire!

 So, my being burned can come of some help to you... I think.
That's because I know how to take the pain away. (Call me Dr. pain-away!)

For burns of the tanning bed & sunburn kinds:
Get naked, rub milk all over the burn. Or if you have a lovely special someone who would be willing to do it for you... take advantage of it next time you're burnt! If not, take a bath in warm water with 2 cups of milk. (You can add as much as you please.)

For other burns such as flat iron burns, stove burns, cigarrette burns, etc.
Smear a lot of tooth paste all over the burn and leave it on as long as possible. This could be messy but you don't have to leave it on but a few min. It really takes the burn out of the burn! I'm pretty sure you have to use actual tooth paste as I don't know how well the gel tooth paste would work.

And that my friends, is how to take the pain away by: Dr. Pain-away! Or you can just call me Kendra, whatever works. lol

Should we teach our kids about hatred?

 This past month, I've heard a lot of talk about hatred. Way more than I'm used to and far more than I prefer. But it's really made me think about things. A few weeks ago, I over heard my sister telling someone that she hoped that her daughter would learn to hate me. She said, when she's got her child and I no longer see her or care for her, she will teach her to hate me. She laughed at the thought of that baby, whom I've cared for her entire life, hating me.

 I was speechless when she said that. Even more so, I was hurt that any person could wish their own child to have hatred in their heart. That will destroy a person so why would a mother wish for her child to hate the person who's given up their life to care for her.

 Besides that, hate is such a powerful thing. It's so serious yet people use it like it's nothing. You never really know the intensity and harshness of the word until you hear a child tell you "I hate you." That is one of the most hurtful things for a mother to hear.

 When I was a kid, I was taught to never hate. I said "I hate you" to my mother one time. And one time only. It hurt her feelings and I never said it again. I try not to even use the word now. I certainly don't say I hate any person. I may dislike them but I don't hate.

 What I'm getting at is, as adults, we have lived and learned. We know what hatred and bitterness causes. Why would we allow hatred to enter our children's lives after knowing what we do about it?

 The kids know better than to use that word with me. I've taught them how powerful it is. I understand we all say things that we don't mean and we can all be severely rude sometimes, but who in their right mind would want to instill hatred in their children's lives? It's too dangerous.

*Do you teach your child not to hate?  Do you think it's important to teach them not to hate? *

A fun little pic...

If you look closely at this mess, you will see a somnolent Patsie (the calico kitty) Fuzz (The red/orange) and hiding in the back on top of all those covers, sits Mr. Pookie Richards, King of the messy ass pile of mess!

                            And, those are my babies! Cute huh?


Much love to you all my lovely, myrmidons. ( A.K.A. loyal followers.)
 How'd ya like that? I used it again! I'm getting good.

Hope you enjoyed the extra pics this week. :)

My PeArL of the day - tues.

 This is for you, my myrmidons (Loyal followers)...

First, how'd ya like my new word? lol...

My PeArL of the day....

Yes, not my usual PeArL of the day, but today my PeArL was this woman here.

My sister! No, not my twin, my older sister, Jenn.

Today was rough, I mean ROUGH. And through it all, my sister was there for me. Actually, the cause of the "rough day" was given to the family today as a gift from my twin. So, in all the chaos, all the threatening, screaming, destroying of the house that I've worked my butt off on, she was my PeArL today.

It always makes things better when you have a good sister. I'm telling you, they ain't easy to come by these days. I should also mention the boyfriend for being there.

You don't realize just how important and special it is to have a good sister until you get totally screwed over by them, or one of them at least. (Lesson learned!)

Just to add a little fun...

TOUCH SCREEN-PANTECH PURSUIT

I wasn't very familiar with touch screen until the past month. I had been using an LG Neon from at&t which was an amazing phone. I loved it. But, it was time for a new one.

At the store, they didn't have a single phone that wasn't touch screen! I ended up getting a Pantech Pursuit. I love the phone and all but the touchscreen was giving me serious problems. It seems to be more of a pain than anything. I took it back after a few days & asked to trade it for something a little more "simple." After all, I don't use the internet from my phone for  different reasons.

1. I have bad eyes & can't see from the small screen.
2. I have internet at home so why pay extra just to have it on my phone?
3. I really only use texting & calling & the MP3 player for music.

The guy told me that the phone I had already purchased was about as simple as these new phones get. I was like "Some people don't want to change every time technology decides to come up with something new." He agreed. He said he hated touch screen as well.

 Also, I'm one of those who like to keep things the same. I don't "upgrade" unless it's absolutely neccessary. So, I went back home with the same phone that my boyfriend paid a whopping $135 for. I was ok with that but still a little disappointed. I thought that was too pricey. lol Yea, I'm a tight wad. lol

 I like the phone but I can't seem to get with the program when it comes to new technology. I'm a late bloomer I guess. I've gotten a little better with touch screen but by the time I've finally gotten use to it I bet something new will be out. I think I will end up loving the phone if I can get better at it. I do absolutely LOVE the camera. It takes great pics!

 However, I was a little overwhelmed with all of the extras that came with it. It has a notepad, and paint just like the one on computers! I probably won't ever use those things but I guess it's cool.

HELP! VIDEO OF ME WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE!

Ok people, this is one hell of a long story that I've already desperately posted for help about in the coffee shop and I thought I'd post here too in case someone can help me. I would be forever greatful!

Here's the story. It's long so please bear with me.

was on Facebook tonight when it all happened. I was instant messaging a guy I know. He's pretty much family, I grew up around him (he was my cousin's husband) So, he starts telling me that he could see me. He said he saw me plucking my eyebrows, cleaning my closet, folding clothes, chewing on a plastic fork, etc. I was doing all of those things! Then, he described my cat and my hair he even described my clothes. The bad part is, I walked through my bedroom with no pants on :( I don;t know how he saw these things. My web cam is OFF and I've only used web cam once so I know nothing about it but I checked and it was off. How humiliating! There is no telling who else is able to see me or who already has. I'm extremely upset and don't have a clue what to do.




The whole reason he instant messaged me was to tell me that he came across a video of me on youtube. I do not use youtube. EVER. I do not have any videos of me at all. He said it was extremely bad. it was so bad that he refused to give me details.



I started freaking out and asked him to help me figure out how to find the video and delete it. He told me that it was obvious that I had no idea I was being taped. I know my boyfriend wouldnt do this and the only thing I can think of is a little incident that I done several yrs back. It wasn;t too bad but my ex said that the video was stolen when his house was robbed yrs ago. I don't think this is the video that was on there because he said it was recent.

So, he said he was figuring out how to have it taken off. He said he thinks it was deleted but I need to know about it. I need to find out who would do this to me and I just need to see the video. He said he didn't want me to see it because it would destroy me. ? ? I asked for the URL but he has no clue wat that means.

The other thing is, just this week, we had these men come in to install internet (hughesnet) and they took my computer in the other room and was on it for a while. I don't know if they would've hacked it or done something but Im terrified!

Can anybody please, please, please tell me what I can do to find out? Is there anything I can do? I know a guy who is super amazing with computers I'm sure he could figure it out but I don't want to go to him. Also, if somone has a video of me, deleting it off youtube won't help if they still have the video. I need to know who would do this.

I would seriously do anything to find out but I have no idea. Someone said to take my computer to the police and they could find out but honestly, I do not want to do that and I'd rather deal with it as privately as possible :( HELP

FADE IN:


EXT. EL DORITO BAR & GRILL - DAY

White and blue-collar workers mingle in the parking lot. They waite to be admitted into the restaurant. A bright neon sign FLICKERS:

HAPPY HOUR 5-7 PM

INT. EL DORITO - LOUNGE - DAY

The scene is abuzz with female office clerks as they parade their bodies for ogling construction workers. A certain guy stands out from the normal crowd He fights his way through the maze of people. His name is RANDY, late twenties, slight facial hair to detract from his receding hairline. He adjusts his ill-fitting eyeglasses as he tries to read a printout from the website.

INSERT - PAPER

Billionaire Match Maker.com

"Where rich boys meet nice girls"

Glamour shot of a blonde bombshell.

BACK TO SCENE

Randy compares every blonde girl to the piece of paper, and suddenly - sees her.

RANDY

(to self)

Oh, no. Can't be.

Randy does a double-take. He walks by to get a closer look while shielding his face - it's her!

Randy's face flushes. His breathing fluctuates.

RANDY

(to self)

Be strong, think positive.

Randy takes a quick hit of his inhaler for added confidence. He walks over to the table, looking more clumsy than manly. Her eyes lock onto him as she makes him out from the crowd. Her name is KIM, late-twenties, single mom, cute blonde that has been around the block a few too many times.

Randy's assurance falters as he gets closer. Kim tries not to be so obvious as she baby-sits a strawberry margarita.

KIM

(to self)

Oh, crap! Can't be him! No, no, no!

Randy's steps get faster as he reaches out to shake Kim's hand.

RANDY

Hi, my name is...

Suddenly - Randy stumbles and CRASHES on the table. In a split second the margarita is all over Kim's white dress. Randy looks up from under the table.

ON KIM

Fuming.

KIM

Look what you DID!

RANDY

I'm sorry... it was an accident...

Randy grabs a napkin and wipes the drink off her dress - instead he brushes her chest.

KIM

What are you DOING?

Kim SLAPS him. Randy is shocked. His face turns red.

RANDY

I'm... I'm --

KIM

This is a new dress!

Feeling guilty Randy throws a wad of money on her. Kim is even more agitated. She SLAPS him again.

KIM

Who do you think I am??? A WHORE?

Randy is ashamed. Kim storms off.

RANDY

I was only trying to help...

A WAITRESS witness's the fiasco and comes over to help.

WAITRESS

(sympathetic)

Are you okay? Here, let me help.

The waitress cleans up the mess and straightens the table.

RANDY

I can't believe this. It's supposed to be a blind date and look how it turned out. I can't do anything right.

WAITRESS

It happens to everyone, don't be so hard on yourself. Let me get you a drink, you'll feel much better.

RANDY

I'll have the strongest drink you have, I need to get drunk.

WAITRESS

You don't want to do that, let me get you something easy, to relax.

From the corner of the restaurant, Kim, approaches. Her dress is somewhat cleaner but still wet. The waitress notices her.

WAITRESS

(whispers)

Here she comes. Take a deep breath and speak slowly. I'll come back to check up on you.

Randy is more nervous than ever. He takes another hit of his inhaler. She takes a seat on the table with Randy.

KIM

(ashamed)

I feel so bad, let's try this again...

She extends her hand.

KIM

Hello, my name is Kim, what's yours?

With a sudden burst of confidence, Randy shakes Kim's hand.

RANDY

(politely)

Nice to meet you Kim, my name is Randy.

Kim's eyes light up, her smile sparkles.

RANDY

Listen... I'm... I'm so sorry about what happened --

KIM

No, don't, don't, don't... forget about it, okay? It happened, it's over.

RANDY

(relieved)

I'm so glad that you understand, I thought you walked away forever.

KIM

Oh, no, I wouldn't do that to you... so Randy, tell me about yourself, I read on your profile that you invented an on-line game.

RANDY

(animated)

Oh yeah, it's called "First Life." It's a social virtual game where you can be anybody you want.

KIM

Oh, really?

RANDY

Yea, it's big in Poland.

(proudly)

I used to be... well not me.. but the virtual me, used to be this tall, muscular, blonde guy with long hair. My name was Tom Chase, I owned a lot of real estate and drove fast cars.

(reflecting beat)

And now...

KIM

And now what?

RANDY

(feeling inferior)

Well... this who I am.

While Kim thinks of a compliment, the waitress returns.

WAITRESS

Here's your drink.

(to kim)

Can I get you another strawberry margarita?

KIM

Ohhhh, no! Thank you. I'll have a Tanqueray and tonic, please.

WAITRESS

I'll be right back.

KIM

(to Randy,softly)

Take off your glasses.

RANDY

What?

KIM

Your glasses, take them off.

RANDY

Oh, these are my spare glasses, I sat on my good ones.

Randy's blue eyes flutter, he squints.

KIM

You have beautiful eyes Randy, you should get Laser. My friend Lucy got it and now she can see like a chicken hawk.

RANDY

I'm afraid of doctors, they like to cut off things with their sharp little knifes.

KIM

Oh, come on, Randy. You gotta take a chance. And your hair...

RANDY

What about my hair?

KIM

Well... you can shave it off, a lot of guys do... you can look like Bruce Willis

The waitress returns.

WAITRESS

Here's your drink. Can I get you anything else?

KIM

Yes, we'll have your fiesta platter and bring us a pitcher of your Cadillac margarita, blended.

KIM

We're 'gonna have some fun, Randy... Are you up to it?

RANDY

Well... I never really had fun before... but.. Okay! Let's do it!

MONTAGE - RANDY AND KIM HAVE FUN TOGETHER

Kim and Randy laugh.

Kim feeds Randy a mini-taco.

Waitress tells them a joke.

They laugh with another couple.

Randy wears a red sombrero.

BACK TO SCENE:

Hours pass by.

KIM

I have to go to the ladies room, I'll be right back.

RANDY

Okay... I'll be here waiting.

Randy is left alone with his thoughts. Moments later Kim comes back.

RANDY

You know what Kim? You never told me about yourself.

KIM

Lemme see... I was a High School cheerleader, prom queen. I was very popular, had tons of friends but...

(reflecting beat)

something happened.

RANDY

(intrigued)

What?

KIM

(embarrassed)

I got pregnant.

RANDY

(surprised)

You got what?

KIM

Pregnant! You know! I had a baby! Right before college.

(sadly)

Then my world fell apart.

Kim eyes start to swell.

KIM

My parents were ashamed, they deserted me. All of my friends talked about me, calling me a whore.

RANDY

You're kidding?

KIM

(defiant)

NO! Why would I joke about that! Then to make things worse...

(beat)

my boyfriend left me. I was left all alone with my son.

RANDY

What's his name?

KIM

(tenderly)

His name is Travis, he's nine.

RANDY

Why didn't you tell me?

KIM

Because you would judge me! Everybody does! Everybody uses me, then dumps me!

(grasping emotionally)

But my son is all I have... he's the only one that keeps me from driving off a cliff.

Kim looks deeply into Randy, with tears dropping from her eyes.

KIM

(hoping)

You wouldn't do that to me?... Would you, Randy?

RANDY

(at a loss)

I... I... I don't know, Kim. This is way too much for me right now. But you know what?

KIM

What Randy?

RANDY

If you're willing to take a chance on me, then I'll take a chance on you.

KIM

You got a deal.

They shake hands.

A long awkward beat.

Suddenly, Kim breaks out into laughter.

KIM

HA! HA! HA!... I'm so sorry... ha! ha! ha!...

RANDY

What? What?

KIM

I just had a visual... you with long blonde hair... driving in a fast car... looking like Fabio... Ha! Ha! Ha! your hair blowing in the wind... ha ha ha...

RANDY

Who's Fabio?

KIM

Oh, my god... I'll tell you later. Hey I'm feeling kinda typsy. Wadda you say we break outta this joint.

RANDY

Yeah... I think my face is all red.

KIM

I'm tired of this chip and dip, chimichanga, fiesta place. Let's go to a real restaurant.

Randy waves the waitress over, she hands him the bill.

RANDY

Thanks, you're the best waitress ever.

WAITRESS

Told you it would work out.

Randy leaves her a big fat tip.

KIM

Hey! We're too messed up to drive!

RANDY

Don't worry I brought my chauffeur.

KIM

You mean a limo?

RANDY

That's for another day; just my driver for now.

KIM

Wow! You are so cool.

RANDY

(whispers)

Can I hold your hand?

KIM

(whispers back)

How much did you say you're worth?

RANDY

MILLIONS!

KIM

Wow! You can hold anything you want.

They leave for the front door

RANDY'S POV:

The crowd of people make a pathway.

Confetti flies through the air.

Guys cheer him on.

Girls woo over him.

Thunderous applause as they exit.

EXT. EL DORITO PARKING LOT - NIGHT

They wobble towards a Lincoln Town car, a DRIVER awaits.

RANDY

Hey Kim...

KIM

What's your pleasure, Randy?

RANDY

Are you willing to sign a prenuptial?

KIM

A PRE WHAT?

RANDY

My lawyer says...

Kim is drunk by now - like duh!. She takes a SWING and tries to slap him - she misses.

KIM

Tell your lawyer to shove his prenup up his wahoo...

The driver opens the back door. Kim wraps her arms around Randy's neck.

KIM

Come over here Randy... you long haired animal...

(seductively)

make me grrrowl...

The driver closes the door.

FADE OUT.

My PeArL of the day-Thursday

My PeArL of the day is...

Vanilla ice cream with instant coffee (I use maxwell house) srpinkled on top. I created this little dessert a couple of years ago and ended up loving it! Its really good. But if you're not a coffee person then it may not be good to you. I love coffee and I like it strong so I usually cover the ice cream in instant coffee. You can use how ever much you like.

 This is one of my favorite desserts. Hope some of you will try it! Let me know what you think.

GHOST/ORB PICS!

 I posted a few of my pics the other day from our ghost tour. I said I would upload them all on the internet and leave a link for yall to view them & I did! Here it is:  http://www.facebook.com/kendra.richards1#!/album.php?aid=18342&id=100000863675184

I hope yall will take a minute to go check them out! Let me know what you think. And if you want, send me a friend request!

Bad-news-days...

What is with all the bad news today? Has anybody else had a bad-news day?

 Lastnight I had a bad-news night. lol Thankfully, I had my oldest friend to talk to until 9A.M.

 Also, last night a friend of mine (not a close friend) posted something disturbing on his Facebook status. He said "I love you all so much but I'm sorry, I just can't do it anymore. I'm so sorry." 2 people left comments on his status. One was from his aunt/the woman who raised him, it said "Wow what a comment. You do know your kids get on here from time to time right?"

The other comment said "Dumbass."

 I saw his status and I didn't think too much of it, then today I talked to my friend (his aunt/the woman who raised him) and she said that he committed suicide this morning.

 So that was the first bad news (besides mine.) And just a while ago another friend of mine texted me and said she found out she had a severe kidney disease. She said she's unable to have children because of it. She's only 22. It broke my heart. Also, her boyfriend is about to leave again, he's in the army so she's got a lot to deal with at the time.

 Then theres a family member of mine, he's going through the worst thing in his life right now & he was acting very suspicious. I've been worried all night that he will commit suicide. He has mentioned it ever since this "thing" in his life began. He's been telling me that he's better now & that he doesn't want to throw his life away like that but he left my house tonight and wouldn't say where he was going or what he was doing. He just said he's going away for a while. Its very unusual for him to be secretive with me.

 About 15 minutes ago a girl I know (not really a friend, I went to school with her my entire life but we don't really talk) She sent me a message and said she had a bad day. I assumed she wanted to talk about it so I asked if she wanted to share with me what happened. She said she just found out that her pregnancy is a high risk pregnancy and her baby is in danger. She's only 6 months and they put her on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy. That broke my heart too! I feel so terrible that these people are going through such hell and I want more than anything to make it better.

I guess I can just be there, listen, and pray. I'm praying hard that's for sure. I hope that everything works out great for everybody. Anyways, I just thought I'd blog about it. I'm still not used to blogging personal stuff but I think I will continue to add a little about me. I've added a lot about me lately!

 One thing I can say though is that I am so blessed to have so many people in my life and to have great friends who care. Lately I've gotten so caught up in my school work and taking care of the kids that I pretty much lost all touch with my friends for the past few months so it was so nice to have an entire day filled with my friends. That's how it should be and I didn't realize how little of an effort I was putting into my friendships. I guess that was my lesson of the day.

*Much love to y'all! I will probably have a few extra posts this week. Forgive me if I get too crazy & out of control!*

Hating myself... again

 A couple of hours ago I was in one of the worst possible situations. It was awful. I have the worst time saying No to people.

 I used to say "no" if it was something that I really couldn't do, I could say "no." Until the time I said no, then yelled "NO!" and guess what? It didn't matter. It did not matter that I said no. He wanted what he wanted no matter how bad it would hurt me. I had everything stolen from me. If I would've just said "yes" then I would only be living with the guilt of being a dirty whore thats better than the guilt of being a rape victim. So as of that night, I hardly ever say no. I actually go to extreme measures and put myself through hell just because I refuse to say no. That's not the only reason though. I don't like hurting people's feelings either.

The thing is, it's a very close person who is going through the hardest time of their life and I feel bad, I feel sorry for them, I want to help, I love this person. I've always had a soft spot for them my entire life & that will never change. I grew up around them. They were my "protector," my help, and the ONLY person I knew I could completely depend on. The only person who has always taken up for me and watched over me. The person who pretty much saved my life when I was severely ill. When I got to the hospital I remember saying to them "If it wasn't for you, I would be dead."

 But what about now? . . .

 A line has been crossed. I am too afraid to hurt their feelings. This is the most devastating time in their life and how could I make it worse and still be able live with myself? But then again how could I possibly make them happy when it means hurting myself and my loved ones. Either way, I feel guilty.

 They promised me everything that a woman could ever, and I mean EVER dream of. It's not how I want it though. It sounds nice and this person deserves the very best in life but its not me.

"The things that make me who I am, the things that make me so amazing, are the things that would be stripped away if I done this. I don't want to do this. I want to please this person though but it would be wrong.

I just can't stand the thought of inflicting more pain on this person. That is why I did what I did. I hate myself. I don't know how to deal with guilt and dishonesty that is why I said "NO." But the pain in their face showed so I said

"I'm terrible, I'm so sorry."

"No you are not. You are used to people forcing themselves on you and being angry when you say no. I will always love you. Nothing will change."

And I hate myself. I do.

The thing is, I done something. Not a big something, only a teeny tiny one but I still done it. I had good intentions, I done it in a way thats as harmless as giving a family member a kiss good-bye. Seriously, it was no big deal. I don't even think it was bad... on my part. Now, on their part, it was not as innocent.

Now, here I am trying to justify my wrong. But how on earth will I come to terms with it. I will never forgive myself unless I can be sure that what I done was not wrong. Last week, I finally was able to gain closure to my "experience" for the first time in 5 yrs I was able to have my closure & no longer hate myself and blame myself now, I have a new reason to hate & blame me.

In these past 5 years, I came to terms with blaming myself. I accepted it. I said "if I deserved what happened, then I truly do take complete responsibility." But I can not accept this.

GHOST TOUR

I mentioned last week, that I would post pics and let y'all know how the ghost
tour went...

                       This is the Hunter Museum in downtown Chattanooga. This house has amazing history, murders. It's famous for its hauntings. If you look closely, you can see an orb right near one of the posts and one in the yard.

           If you look toward the ceiling of the porch you can see an orb.

                    There's a large blue-ish orb by the center top window.

                    There's another large orb at the very top of the house.

*This is not all. I have several more pics that are so amazing! I will be working on getting them put up online in the next couple of days. I'll post the link to them within the next couple of days as well. I hope you'll come check them out! They really are amazing!*

  At the moment, I'm in the middle of several projects.

1. Ghost tour - tomorrow night! It should be one heck of an experience, as most of our "adventures" with the paranormal stuff is. I should have pics and the details posted by tomorrow night.

2. Remodelling my bedroom & bathroom. Painting the bedroom pink.

3. Working on finishing my clothing item. I'm turning an oversized, old lady, slip into a real work - of - art - top. lol I will post pics. It's gonna be a tough one. But I'm determined to make this ugly thing into a pretty top.

*I hope you'll come by to see my pics of the ghost tour*

 (If you haven't already seen my previous pics of our "adventures" you can find them in my previous posts.)

MonaVie Acai Berry Active Gel

~MonaVie Acai -Berry Active Gel~

 I've wanted to try and review the Acai Berry products for a while now. But I was a little hesitant since I have stomach problems and endometriosis and a lot of products like these tend to give me a lot of pain. And, I've spent months debating on which acai berry product to try since there are SO many.

 After a lot of research and talking with my dry cleaner lady to see what she thought about the stuff, I decided to try it. She has melanoma and told me her daughter had been making her drink the MonaVie Acai-berry gel for months. She said at first, she didn't think it was doing anything for her so she told her daugter to stop wasting money on it. After a month passed, she said the pain and problems she experiences from the melanoma became severe so she ordered more.

 The first day she started drinking it again she said she felt totally different. It was helping her a lot. She spends $135 a month on this stuff. "That's how good it works", she said.

 So, I took a packet of the gel 3 days ago. I may try another acai product, but I can't spend $135 a month for it. Still, I am unsure if I will try another acai product.

MY RESULTS:

The packet says drink 2 daily. I only drank one just incase it gave me stomach problems. I would suggest taking it in pill form if you don't do well with bad tastes. I don't. It tasted like blueberries but had a strong, weird taste to it too. It has a gel, thick texture and that can be hard to drink for some.

 I haven't used the gel long enough to tell if its a miracle worker or not. As my dry cleaner lady said, it takes a couple of months for it to work. I did, however, have some real issues with my stomach the very next morning. I think it was a result of the Acai, but I'm sure most of it has to do with my crazy stomach. If you don't have stomach problems, it shouldn't bother you.

 Anyways, I think its a good product, I would like to try more acai products. (I will post when I do) But, I don't think I can fork over the money for this brand.

 Its probably important to mention, if you do decide to try anything Acai, you need to make sure the product you are purchasing is 100% Acai. You can get pill form Acai for weight loss. I talked to a woman who claims Acai Pure (pill form) helped her lose 22 pounds in only 2 weeks. I'm not sure how true it is. I won't puchase weight loss supplements because I weigh 94 pounds and its too dangerous for me. Plus, weight loss supplements give me stomach problems.

 I have tried Slim Quick in the past. I will review it soon. But, I will go ahead and say, I would NOT recommend it.

My PeArLs of the day... Thursday

 My PeArLs of the day...




 Well, if you noticed I said "PeArLs" meaning this time, I have more than one PeArL. These PeArLs are a bit different from my usual PeArLs. They are...

 Those of you who have given me such kind words, great advice, comfort, and understanding. You guys, are my PeArLs of the day!


 I mentioned a couple yesterday. I just wanted to thank you all who left me those kind and comforting words. You probably didn't realize it at the time, but those word are what got me through the day. Yall made a huge difference for me and really brightened my mood.


Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am forever greatful to you all.


Much love & blessings to you!

A little update on my recent activity

 If you have read my last post, you know I've been having some issues and very discouraging ones at that. I just wanted to say a few things on the whole matter.

 First, I should mention just how down I was, letting guilt hold me back, etc. Then I opened messages from Sam from http://sam-huh.blogspot.com/ and Hanis from  http://keepthisonealiveinstead.blogspot.com/ they were both such a huge comfort.

 Sam gave me an amazing and kind piece of advice. She told me just what I needed to hear while dealing with some situations. She reminded me that I am a christian and everything I do reflects on my relationship with God. I realized that I haven't handled my recent problems in the best way.

  Hanis was very understanding and her message really brightened my day, showed me that I'm not alone. :) Much love to those girls! (By the way, if you've not done so already, check out both of their blogs p.s. wonderful blogs!)

Now, I'm letting it go, I am handing the entire thing over to God & trusting that he will handle it. After all, he is capable of much more than I am. I do apologize for showing my lack of control on here this week. It was terrible.

 The thing is God has been dealing with me in an area that I really suck at: confrontation, standing up for myself. Instead of standing up for myself, I totally went off this week. That's not acceptable behavior, not to me. I'm better than that. I don't have enemies so I haven't had uch experience in dealing with them. I've had people hurt me, terribly and I usually bless the person who's hurt me and go on. Lately, it's been more complicated. I'm sure many of you can relate to where I'm coming from.

Anyways, a BIG thank you to Sam & Hanis who has helped me have more hope, faith, encouragement.

 Now, this doesn't mean that I'm going to allow people to continue to run me over. I'm just going to deal with it the way I normally do. God's way.

 And I of all people know that those who deliberately hurt God's people, will experience God's wrath. God  will repay those who hurt you.

 ..."Do not take revenge my friends, but leave room for God's wrath"
      ~God will repay those who hurt you.~

             Now, that is comforting.


So, here's to me forgiving, leaving it to God, and being forgiven myself for the sins I committed.



 But, to all of those who truly do bully people, to all of those who have been disturbingly cruel to me & others, I hope you learn from my situation. I hope you will think twice before hurting someone. There is a difference in disagreeing with someone and being cruel. And to those of you who had no idea of my situation and judged me, I ask that you don't do that until you know 100% all of the facts/story.

BLOGGER ATTACKS

 For the past week, I've had some issues with a person on the coffee shop. Most of you have probably heard by now. I'm not a confrontational person at all and often times I never stand up for myself. But, it's gotten to the point of harrassment, so I finally went off. I have had enough. But the thing that bothers me is that a lot of people won't stand up for what is right. I have been totally belittled, put down, called every horrible name in the book and it bothers me. How could it not when it's constant? I tried ignoring, I tried being nice, I finally resorted to being mean back. I didn't know what else to do.

 Ever since it happened, I've been getting e-mails from people one said they admired me for standing up. One said, the same thing happened to them and they ended up scared and completely left blogger. This tells me there is a real problem! One that needs taking care of. The blogger bullies need to go!

 This person has now started a group that is based on making me their next victim and discouraging me until I leave too. I won't let that happen because I'm always telling others to keep their head up and don't give up. I'm having a hard time taking my own advice.

 I did get mean, I let myself get out of control and I said some mean things back. I hardly ever do that so I always feel wrong afterwards. I honestly don't know if it was wrong or not though. I kinda think it was another sign that it's time for me to stand up for myself. I don't know what got into me, I guess because of the day of the month. lol and I've been under extreme stress lately so I just got truly tired of being treated wrongly.

 Have you known of these issues? Have you had problems out of being attacked? What would you do? Report it?

 Thanks in advance, I always love yalls advice :)
