Nothing like dropping the ball...
Seems I really am slipping on the journal entries. It's been a month and a little. Guess I need to get myself in gear.
Ok, so where to start THIS TIME.....
My birthday was on the 4th and it was pretty cool. Chuck bought me a Shih Tzu, which I have wanted since Christmas but with the move and everything, I decided that it would not only be too much for a new puppy, but for me and the potty training, etc. So he called me while I was at work and asked me if I could step outside. He was standing at the truck with the door open, which I thought was a little strange. So I walked around and sitting on the seat was this little tiny puppy.  She is SOOOOO sweet. We named her Phoebe after we tried on a million different names that just didn't seem to fit. Daisy seems to be ok with her, but until they get more used to each other, they aren't allowed to play together alone. Daisy gets a little carried away when they play and I am a little afraid that she will hurt her even though it seems like all she wants to do is lick her face. Phoebe has become pretty vocal and started barking at her all the time, which is pretty funny. I think maybe she's under the impression that she's a "big dog."
On Saturday we had a party for me....where I was in charge of NOTHING...which was a nice change of pace. I drank......and drank....and well.....I drank some more......then I ate and didn't feel the drink anymore. It was a lot of fun and I think that everyone had a pretty good time.
Chuck and I have an appointment to have our engagement pictures taken next weekend and our photographer is fairly new to the area and only knows a few places to go. She used to work inthe Bay Area before moving up there. So we have been trying to scout out places to have our pictures done. We live in the city.....there are parks, but who wants that? So we decided to look yesterday down by the river. It was a really nice day and there were ducks and birds flying all over the place, thankfully not pooping on my head. It was really nice down there, but just too flat and not enough photo places. So we decided to leave, and we were going to drive out to the lake and check that out. We start driving up this hill and I tell Chuck how I really wished that I had bought a convertable, for days like this. I love my car, but that would have been nice. Somehow we got on the subject of Harley's...but I can't remember exactly how. I knew that he wouldn't mind having one and he knew the same about me, but didn't know how much. He asks me "on a scale from one to ten, how bad do you want one" "a 26." Off to the Harley shop we go. I'm thinking that we are looking and get it out of our system and that'll be it. This is what we brought home yesterday:
 
Needless to say, we didn't do anymore exploring for a picture place yesterday. So last night I called my mom and asked her about this stream that she had been talking about thats about 10 minutes past her house. We decided to go up there today and I think that we might have just found our spot. My dad took these pictures of us:
I think that pretty much sums it all up. It's been a really busy week, but it's all good. I've been on plan, for the most part except for the drinking at my party...shhhh don't tell....

A little bit MIA....but not anymore...
Holy CRAP! It's been 2 months since I updated this journal. Oh Boy...how am I EVER going to make all that has happened fit in here?
So, we moved. FINALLY. We got the ok to move in on February 23rd, a Friday. So we started really getting things in. I spent the first Saturday unpacking every box we brought over to try to keep it under control. That Sunday was a lot of running to the old house and bringing things to the new one. We spent a week doing that and by the following weekend, Chuck was sick, it was our last weekend to move, not everything was packed and I was quickly running out of steam. My family came over and we railed through a ton in a few hours. By Sunday, all but a couple of things that needed to be thrown away, was done. We had the weekend of March 3rd to unpack and the following week, and then we were off to Vegas for 6 days for the races and Chuck's birthday.  When we got home on Tuesday the 13th, I had to go with Kylie to a drill team meeting. It was pretty informative. They informed us that it would be about $1800 for her to be on the team with all the camps and the outfits and all this "stuff."  I could have puked.
 The following weekend, March 17th, we had to get the house unpacked because my cousin was coming from Kansas City with a friend and they would be at my house on the 24th of March for dinner. We worked really hard to get everything unpacked and put in SOME kind of order. They came for dinner that weekend and then all that was over. Or so I thought.
 Chuck and I had decided that getting married this year was just going to be too much with the new house and all the things that we wanted to do. I was supposed to cancel the wedding place that we had booked, but I hadn't gotten to it yet. Well, last week, we decided that we are just going to do it.  We have been together for a really long time. We decided to keep the original date of September 15th. The biggest issue is that it's only 5 months away and short of booking the place, we don't have anything else. SO, Brandy (Chucks sister) and I went dress shopping for the bridesmaids and my dress last Friday. I found mine after trying on several of them. We found the dresses for the girls too and they are in the exact same fabric that I had already bought for them. I originally was going to make them, but because we are getting so close, I decided maybe we should buy them. Well, the dresses are $150 and since I already had pretty much everything, I decided to make them. I'm making two out of the three flower girl dresses too. The patterns are pretty simple, so I'm not too worried. I'm making a dummy dress that I cut out last night because I want to make sure that these are going to be ok.
I have an appointment with the lady that runs our wedding place today to get some things arranged. She does all the flowers and stuff, and they do the cake, you just have to bring a picture of what you basically want. I feel like just when my plate started to clear, I piled it high up again. Oh well, it's better this way anyway....it's what I'm used to. SO, I have to find a photographer, get to work on the dresses, decide on my flowers and several other things. Not to mention that I have to find an officient that I can deal with. I saw pictures from a wedding where the minister wouldn't' let the photographer use a flash during the ceremony and it was outside in the shade and no one had a face. My brothers wedding, the minister wouldn't' let me use a flash either and everything was a little dark. SO, I am going to have to find one that doesn't have an opinion or it's gonna be an issue. That's OUR day, not his.
Beyond all this, everything else is normal. Normal as can be expected anyway. I gotta get back in the journaling groove. I miss it.

Stacy, House, Stress & Name that Bunny
First and VERY most importantly I wanted to say thanks to Stacy who sent us flowers last Friday to welcome us to our new home. They are just beautiful. It's so cold in that house right now that they are staying perfectly fresh. I took these pictures of them on Sunday (only because I kept forgetting my camera and the camera phone just wasn't cutting it) 
They are so bright and just wonderful and I love them. Thank you again, you really made my day.
Here is the house update. Ya'll are gonna just LOVE this. Last week we found out that we only needed to have a gas meter to pass the final and move in. Most other cities don't even require that its on first, but this one does. The city that we are moving into only became its own city 10 years ago and is pretty whacked out on what they require. Whatever, it is what it is. Anyway, so the superintendent calls PG&E and asks them to come out and put on a meter. They never show up. Such a shocker. We had also found out that they won't complete the final without landscaping. First we heard we just needed a tree in the front yard. I was ready to run out and get me a damn tree and shove that little sucker into the ground. Well, not so fast Batman, Robin's got a wedgie. The chick fromthe city came out and said that she would give them 30 days, not to worry, no need to shove a tree in the ground. So we couldn't move in over the weekend which was just about enough to piss off the pope. So instead, we ended up putting things into the garage with the thought that we would have no problem moving in on Valentines Day at the latest. Saturday morning we had the new washer and dryer delivered and just seeing them sitting there made me happy. How sad has my life become when my laundry is making me happy?  So the guys get there, they get them unloaded and into the room with no scratches or problems at all, with the exception of there being no gas and no way to check the connections. FINE, we'll deal with that when the meter gets hooked up, no problem. They drop off the new garage fridge and their gone. Cool Beans, things are going ok. Originally, Directv was supposed to be there on Saturday, but for whatever reason, they left me an automated message for Sunday. No biggie, we'll just hang all the blinds in the house so that we don't have to worry about that when the furniture can be moved in. We'll be prepared. The guy for Directv was supposed to be there by 5. At 5:00 his boss called me and said he was on his way. Wonderful. He shows up about 10 minutes later and the MINUTE that he gets out of the van he is looking for a reason no to do this. He had an attitude the minute he walked up. So Chuck is trying to point out where to put the new dish, and where all the wires are and this kid is just being a little jerk. All of the sudden, almost like he hit the lottery, he says "I don't think that I have a 'J' bracket to hang it with. I'll have to check." He goes to the van, takes a GLANCE and says "nope, I don't have one and it would take me 45 minutes at least to get back to the shop." Well, I had stepped into the house and back out just in time to hear him trying to reschedule by Nextel with his boss. So the boss says, "the first available is Wednesday morning" the kid comes back and repeats it and I swear, it had to be the triumphant look on his face that pissed me off because I had a mini tantrum, right there in the driveway. I said, "Um, NO. You can do it tonight, or tomorrow morning at 8 am...either way, it doesn't matter to me." Then the kid started to WHINE and I mean FULL ON WHINE! I told him that his job and his scheduling were NOT my problem and that I'd been there waiting for him all day and the fact that he was not only late, but not prepared was NOT my problem......but we'll wait. So he stomped off, after he looked like he was going to cry. I'm sure I have now been called every name in the book, but I seriously doubt it was the first time. By the time the whole thing was said and done they took $100 off the bill, gave me a new tech and set him up for Wednesday morning in case he couldn't get it done, he has all day. The guy was just a little prick. And when HIS boss called me, I told him that I was more than a little unamused by his bullshit and while he got there with an attitude, I made sure I did my best to make him leave with an even worse one. The boss guy just laughed.
Monday rolls around and we think that we are waiting for a gas meter. And waiting, and waiting and waiting some more. Then at 4:00 yesterday afternoon, the inspector that came out and got us all through our mess so far, called the superintendent and told him that the city wouldn't sign off the final until the sidewalks were in. Um, WHAT? So this morning PG&E and everyone else under the sun showed up and was working out there to get the house finaled. Still no gas meter. Then in the middle of it all, the phone company showed up and told Chuck that for some reason, even though in there computer it showed as being done, they lines were never connected to the poles or the houses. They are underground, but they don't go anywhere. Ok....well, at least you have YOUR shit together, don't ya? So Chuck called me and listened to me scream for a good 10 minutes about this whole thing. It's infuriating. I'm at the end. I think I've said it before, but I really am.
Tomorrow we have a do over with Directv, Thursday is nothing,Friday they are delivering the new kitchen table, the couches for the family room and the new bed. If these people don't get off their asses and actually COMPLETE something, all those things will get shoved into the garage too and oddly enough, we are running out of space. Not to mention that we have given notice and have to be out on March 1st....today is the 13th. Lovely.
So finally on my list, Kylie is taking an agriculture class this year. Some kids get an animal like a pig or a cow and then take it to the State Fair and auction them off. Kylie is a sucker for any animal, no matter what. She picked a bunny, I'm pretty sure because she didn't want to have to sell it. So Chuck and I took off as soon as he got home and got her a bunny for Valentine's Day for this class. Completed the whole thing with the cage and food and all the goodies. We got home, I ran into the house (yeah, who'm I kidding, I walked) and had her come to the door where I covered her eyes and tried to walk her out to the truck. Do you have ANY idea how hard that is to do with a 15 year old who keeps flailing her arms around trying not to run into things that she can't see? She about beat us to death all the way out of the garage. She was VERY suprised...and pretty happy. She has a little delima...a name. She has narrowed it down to 4 and I told her that I would post them and see what everyone said so here they are:
1. Valentine
2. Spot
3. Hopper/Thumper
4. Roger Rabbit
This is the bunny, it's a boy, by the way:
Have a great night....I'll try to update tomorrow.

The second time around...
Ya know... I spent about an hour making this big long entry about what's going on right now with my tantrums and the house and blinds and stuff and of course, AOL ate it. I have NEVER had that happen to me before and it was infuriating!
So, here is a quicky instead. We have a final on the house tomorrow morning and if all goes well, we get the keys.
I've been a raging pain in the ass for these reasons:
1. My computer at work crashed and I had to get a new one. I lost 11 months worth of work that I now have to redo. I also was lucky enough (sarcasm) to get stuck with Windows VISTA, which at this very point I could do without.
2. I couldnt' come to a happy medium about window coverings for the house, but it was obviously an issue that needed to be delt with. Now, at this point, I have gone through several things that I could do and none of them I was in love with. I even took Chuck to the fabric store with me and realized much to late what a mistake THAT was. So while trying to save some money, I only ended up with a headache and Chuck and I making a run to Home Depot to get all the wood blinds that I originally wanted, but didn't want to pay for. No, we didn't steel them.
3. The cleaning people won't be at the house until 8:00 Friday morning to do the final cleaning because the super didn't call them soon enough and they were booked. What that means for us is that if it passes final all good tomorrow, we still can't move in until they are done cleaning on Friday, sometime around noon. Lovely.
4. Because of my lovely attitude lately, because of all of the things going on, I bought my mom this orchid to say "I'm sorry." Hopefully she won't make me eat it for lunch, it looks poisoinus.
5. We won't have a phone or Internet until sometime next week and while I have Internet at work, that still really sucks.
I think I'm done complaining. The other entry was MUCH funnier.
Everyone have a great, on plan weekend.

House Update!!!
Ok, so there is NO POINT to this shoe picture, I just really like them.
Ok, I kept promising, and just never quite getting there and I know that ya'll were wondering. SO here they are, updated house pictures. The place is really dirty from all the final work being done and I didn't think to wipe the floor off some before I took pictures of it. Not really my most brilliant moment, but.....well.....ya know.
This is looking into the Living Room/Dining Room
This is the Family Room
Laundry Room
Kitchen Sink (seems pretty obvious, but just in case)
Nope the oven isn't blue, it's some protective thingy.
Cooktop
The whole kitchen
This is our bedroom, looking towards the bathroom.... see that window in there? This is suddenly an issue.
Shower, notice the perfectly clear glass.....this is part of the window problem...
Bathtub...which for some reason in this picture looks like a sink to me.
Backyard....
Ok, lets go back to the window thing for a minute. For the past few months everyone that comes into the bathroom likes the window (I personally am in LOVE with it) and brings up the same thing. "Don't you think that people will be able to see in?" Of course, me being me, all cocky and everything says "NO, and I'm NOT covering it up." Ok, so Saturday little Miss Cocky walked out back and for whatever reason turned around and looked right up into the shower.....crystal clear glass will make for a nice spot for our neighbors to look right at my boobs. Great! Just lovely. God forbid some child is in the pasture one house over because they will get a REAL nice view. We aren't even talking binoculars here......just turn your head. So Little Miss Cocky will be trying to figure out a compromise to cover the window. I don't want to ruin the light and openness, but I really don't want to help all the kids on the street with sex-ed either.
Hope everyone had a great, on plan weekend.

The House....the car.....the stress......
HOUSE UPDATE:
Last night Chuck got a call from the title company wanting to know if we could come down today and sign all the house paperwork. Well FINALLY!!! so yeah, we'll be there. The house passed temp power yesterday so we are well on are way to being able to move in. The way it looks right now, (and no one get excited, it seems to change every day) is that we should be moving on the 2nd of February. I took more pictures of the house and all of it's goodies, which are of course, at home. I'll get them in my journal ASAP for those of you that wanted to see them.
Packing.....such a lovely job. One that I have SUCH a great plan for, but am no where near finished doing. I am going to be spending this whole weekend trying to pack 2/3 of my house. I think that I basically stopped doing it because there seemed to be no end in sight for moving. It was almost like I lost interest in something that never seemed like it was going to happen. Not to mention the fact that it's like I have ADD where this packing is concerned. I would start in one room, and then go to get something out of another room and start packing in there, go back to the first room and think "oh crap, guess I should finish in here" and nothing is getting complete. And here is a little peek into my anal retentive self. I want all the boxes that have my little stickers on them stacked in piles of only the room they go in. What I mean is if the box is for the living room, I ONLY want boxes for the living room stacked on top of each other. I want it like that for each stack of boxes and right now, they aren't like that. For some reason, that's driving me WILD. Chuck said about a month ago that he would fix it, but it's still like that and it's still bugging me. So....HEY CHUCK....if'n your reading this......could ya FIX THE DAMN BOXES BEFORE I NEED PROZAC???? The chances of him seeing this are slim to none, but I feel better.....sort of.
I've named her.....finally. I really appreciate everyone that voted and I was really leaning towards Lucille myself, but who would have thought that it would cause an issue with my mom? Good GOD, it's a nickname for a car. But since it's what my dad calls her, she got bent.
 So here is how it went. I kept kicking around the name Sybil. I really liked it and it gave the car a personality of its own.....but maybe a little too much. So Stacy and I were online blabbing and she said "how about Christine?" We pushed that one around for a while until we both decided that it was a perfect fit. So Christine it is! I did go and look up some of the movie/book information and I'm going to rent the movie because I can't remember how it ended. Somehow, I think Christine kills Arnie, but I can't remember for sure. Probably important information. I did tell Stacy that if that car locks me in she BETTER be on a plane out her ready to bust the window and get me out since SHE helped me name her!!! And also thanks to Stacy for the graphic idea. I love how it came out.
One by one, anyone who crosses Arnie (or Christine) seems to meet with an unfortunate end. As a matter of fact, anyone too close to Arnie better watch out - even his newfound girlfriend Leigh (Alexandria Paul) and best friend Dennis are not safe. Especially when they begin to suspect that there is moreto Christine than meets the eye...

Interesting little twist....
 Hey Stacy did you hear that people are being mean in J-Land?
 No! Get out, are they really Kel?
Yep, it's true.
How do you know? Where did you hear about it?
Oh because remember Beavis and Butthead, the two rejects that we threw off the list and can't stand their manipulative sneaky lying arse's?
Yea. You mean the ones that took such pleasure in spying on the curly one and bashing all the people they now profess to just L-O-V-E, especially the blonde one? The ones that did every single thing they are accusing us of doing AND MORE? But now are pretending they are pure and innocent and oh so caring of the people they used to make fun of? Those losers?
Yup they are the ones.
What about them?
It doesn't make sense really, because even though everyone else has decided to let this whole mess just die.... those two-faced phonies just can't stop talking about it. Do you think maybe it's because they miss messing with Blondie so they want to keep stirring it up to push her buttons and watch her freak out?
I bet you're right. That's exactly what they are doing. Why else would they still be talking about it so much and bringing it up over and over again when people are trying to forget about it? I wouldn't put it past either one of those freaks.
That's a shame that people pretend to be your friend when in truth they are actually winding you up even more.
Yes it is, a damn shame.

A lil bit of everything....
First of all I just wanted to thank all of you that have written such supportive and funny emails to Stacy over the past couple of days since Madame Manic sent out the famous backfiring IM email. I was shocked by how many of you that I had no idea read my journal made a point to tell Stacy that you were waiting for a house update from me, or that you read me everyday. I appreciate you all....thanks again.
I thought I came up with the perfect name for the car last night. One of my all time favorite movies is "Gone in 60 Seconds." I LOVE this movie. For anyone that hasn't seen it, there is a 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 named "Eleanor" that is on the list of cars that they are stealing. I love this car and I always have. So last night when I was flipping channels I came across this movie at the very part where he was getting "re-acquainted" with Eleanor and it hit me. "I'll name her ELEANOR!" But after about 15 minutes I managed to burst my own bubble because she is NOT Eleanor as much as I would love her to be. SO, since I was asking for ideas I would love it if everyone would take a vote. I came up with a little list of names, 13 of them actually, and I would like to see what everyone thinks. Some of them have absolutely no meaning to me whatsoever, I was just looking for something distinguished rather than something cute.
This is Eleanor:
This is my car:
Pretty obvious differences. (Sherry, take a deep breath....you're ok.... <G>)
Lorraine: No Reason
Lorretta: No Reason
Lucille: My dad used to call my mom this all the time and her name is Susan. I seriously never understood this.
Sidney: This is Stacy's middle name and I have always really liked it.
Sybil: I'm a little afraid of this name because it gives that car a personality of its own, and at the same time I think it's almost fitting.
Sophie: Chuck likes this one. I have no idea why.
Suzy: No reason
Sylvia: No Reason
Charlotte: No Reason
Delores: Kind of makes me think of the same time as Eleanor. Then it makes me think of the episode of "Seinfield" when he can't remember that chicks name and she says that it rhymes with a body part.
Grace: Like in Graceful....I guess
Norma: No Reason, Chuck came up with this one.
Madeline: No Reason
So there are the names........everyone vote. Help a girl out here.
OK, house update. I had to go back and look to see when the last time I posted a house update was. It looks like sometime around Thanksgiving. I can say with complete confidence that there have been SOME changes, but nothing life altering yet. We haven't moved. You all would have known if we had, trust me. We still don't have a definite date, and yes, it's making me crazy. So, I have picture updates. They poured the concrete and it made a HUGE difference in the way the house looks from the outside. It made the space look enormous....and it is. The driveway will hold 4 cars stacked with plenty of room.
Now here is where I feel pretty dumb. All the hard wood and carpet is in. All the kitchen appliances are in. The fence is up. I never took pictures. I think that maybe I was just so frustrated with the whole thing that I just didn't do it. SO, I promise that I will do that today while I do some other running around. I've been trying so hard to keep all the pictures of progress up because it's pretty cool to see things come together. I think where I fell down on THAT little job was when 45 days to move in turned into 4 months later. I've tried to be patient, but that doesn't usually work well for me. I've been mean, that didn't make anything go any faster either. Now I'm just ignoring it....which isn't really working for me either. Supposedly, we are on the short strokes and it should be done by next Friday but lets face it Ladies, haven't we all just heard THAT before? Chuck says not until February 1st, and I'm thinking that he probably is more on the money than they are. Either way, it will happen when it happens and it's easier for me NOT to expect it than to ride this roller coaster.
My mom and I shopped for blinds for the house the other day and that was a nice little rude awakening. I want Plantation blinds, but good GOD those things are expensive. I have 23 windows in that house and NONE of them are a normal size. The windows in Kylie's and Stacy's bedrooms are 58" wide and just for those 2 windows the blinds would have been $259.00. Um, no. So I'm trying to regroup now. I'd still like to have them, but I'm thinking that it doesn't need to happen all at once and cost more than the house. For now I'm thinking of putting up Roman Shades. The look nice, the do the trick and I will make them myself, so they are what I want. We'll see, I'm still kind of toying with the idea.
 Packing.....let's touch on that little jewel. Since the way the house has been going, I haven't been packing much. I have already had totake things OUT of boxes that I needed and that's not the idea. I get side tracked when I'm packing too and that's getting annoying. I guess I really need to get my double wide in gear and get moving though or we are going to have keys and not be moving because SOMEONE (yeah, that'd be me) didn't get herself organized. I'm just normally not like this. I'm usually grounded and driven and motivated, unless we are talking about food and then, yeah, well, ya know.
Ok, everybody vote. Even if that's all you leave for a comment. I REALLY want to hear everyone's opinion.
Have a GREAT Sunday.

Taking your privates public.....
I pulled a post. Something that I would NEVER EVER normally do. But I pulled it because at that point, everyone had basically seen it and I felt like it was ok to let it go. I had also received an email of the whole thing anyway, just like about 90% of the members on AOL, and I felt like that email not only said it all, but made Madam Manic look even worse than I had. Whodathunkit? But here is the real kicker. Myself and several others that this email was sent out to, were blocked from responding in a private way. We weren't allowed the option to reply because you are obviously scared of what we might say to you privately. Very grown up. Why don't you just sit over on your side of the fence and yell "Big Fat Fatty Head" at everyone you don't agree with?
 Since you took my choice away from me to go ahead and reply PRIVATELY, which is what I had INTENDED to do, this is my only choice now. Just a tip Madam Manic, if you want to stop the public crap, then don't block people from responding privately. DUH! (I know, your common sense is a little shaky)
We'll start here:
Madam Manic: I am tired of this drama and refuse to debate this in a PUBLIC FORUM, however, I think it's only fair that everyone get the ENTIRE IM that was bastardized and posted in two seperate journals the past two days. I saved this. I had a FEELING this would come back to bite me in the ass and I was right.
You bit yourself in the a*s here. You start stuff, you use public forums when you feel it's necessary to make yourself look like a victim and don't allow anyone you bash to talk to you privately. You make it seem like you want it to stop when you say things in public, but what you really are doing in the background, is continually stirring the pot.
Madam Manic:I have forwarded you THE ENTIRE IM...start to finish....I sent it to myself immediately following my CHAT with Stacy the same night.
Well Duh! I had the whole thing too, but funny enough, it wouldn't all fit and it took me 45 minutes just to make what I got into that post fit. Otherwise, I would have had NO problem putting up the whole thing. You really should have left this alone. You came out looking MUCH better when it was just half of the IM than you do now.
Madam Manic:Take it how you want to take it....but it's not cut and pasted like the "versions" that are out there. I especially LOVE the part where Stacy says THIS IM WAS JUST BETWEEN US...NO J-LANDERS...you will also see how I APOLOGIZED to Stacy THAT NIGHT, however she demanded a PUBLIC apology which she got the very next day.
If someone treated YOU the way that you have treated HER and everyone in our group, wouldn't you want a public apology? Doesn't that make sense to YOU? You took this public LONG before anyone else did. I remember that *I* was the one named the instigator in the beginning and THAT was a blatant LIE that you never corrected. And don't bother......I couldn't care less about your apology because "I'm sorry" doesn't mean jack sh*t when it comes from you.
AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE, there are ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY!

You're right. There ARE two sides to every story. But maybe in the future, you might want to consider how you look from your side of the story, BEFORE you send it out to everyone you can think of and several people that just flat out don't care.
You had a choice. You could have made the choice to allow us all to respond to you privately and take this out of a "public forum" as you stated you wanted to do. But the choice you made, took choices away from us. Now the only option for us, because of what YOU CHOSE TO DO, is to respond in our journals, which we KNOW you read. So here we go:
 If you want this to become a private matter, give us the option to do that. NUT UP and deal with things the way you sling them out there. YOU are the one that keeps it going. YOU are the one that is constantly LOOKING for something to start a whole new war with. YOU are the one that took something that someone else said and made it Stacy's fault. YOU are the one that REALLY needs to make sure that you get your morning "Manic Cocktail" so that the rest of us can have peace. Before you even waste your time or wear and tear on your little fingers sending me yet another email telling me that I don't know you, let me tell you this. I know what you SHOW me and everyone else. I know that you didn't know when to stop when everything was done and over with. It seems to me that if you don't have enough drama in your 3-D life, you need to find some someplace else so you create it here. Just stop. Enough is enough. All you have managed to do is show that you are completely unstable. If that was your intention, then Great Job.....if I ever want to do that for myself, I'll know right where to go. But just stop. Quit saying that you want it to stop and then turn around a week later and start something new.
